Surely, the auspicious date chosen by the palace would not be delayed by the fact that the elder brother of a consort would take an examination, so Ning Xueyan's wedding would not be delayed by Ning Huaiyuan's taking the imperial examination.
The dowry would be sent the day before. Since Ning Xueyan was a consort, she did not need to put up pageantry as Commandery Princess Xianyun did, but all the relatives and friends had been informed. Today was not the wedding date, so only a few close marital relatives came to the Lord Protector's Manor.
Ning Xueyan got up relatively early and visited Madam Dowager to send her morning greeting. Rarely, Madam Dowager asked Ning Xueyan to have breakfast with her, and Ning Xueyan also chatted with Madam Dowager for a while. Ning Qingshan and Ning Lingyun were also there. Ostensibly, the three of them were in harmony, and Madam Dowager was very satisfied with it.
The rare scene was that Madam Dowager Liu even c
"This person is really puzzling. When happiness should be his, he could not take it, but after I died, now he becomes desperate and is regretful."Ning Xueyan could not tell what this feeling was and only felt that this was very boring. "In this world, it is useless to only have regrets about many things."And she was no longer the same Ning Ziying who was so obedient to Xia Yuhang back then.She turned around and happened to avoid Xia Yuhang's eagerly stretched hand. With clear watery eyes, she looked at Xia Yuhang extremely coldly, and the look in her eyes could be called piercing cold. "What are you doing, Eldest Brother-in-law? Do you still have the vain hope of getting the consort of Prince Yi's Manor? Ning Ziying is already dead. Didn't you see the dead bones in the lotus pond, Eldest Brother-in-law?"These words successfully stopped Xia Yuhang's hand. Immediately, the impulse caused by his excitement was frozen as if he had
Of the several princes, only Third and Fourth Princes had grown up and had their own mansions outside. It was said that in a period of time, the emperor would officially give them titles. Anyway, he must let them have official titles before they got married.Previously, Third Prince's house had a fire, and the main fire site was in the front yard. Although urgent repairs were done at this time, the house had not been completely repaired yet. Therefore, Ao Mingyu's meeting place was moved to the backyard. Fortunately, these few women who lived in his inner courtyard did not have titles, so he did not feel this action was reckless.Ao Mingyu and Xia Yuhang sat in the new study. Xia Yuhang was fiddling with the celadon teacup in his hand, absorbed in thought, and his uncontrollable and excited look that appeared just now had already gone. Instead, he was calm and elegant and even had a smile, but Ao Mingyu walked around twice in the room, looking angry.
"Fifth Sister, you are really beautiful. I've never seen anyone more beautiful than you, and you are even more beautiful than the fairies in heaven," Ning Lingyun, who came to give her gifts to the bride, sat on the side to see Ning Xueyan being dressed and given makeup and said with a smile in the tone of the bridesmaids."The Marquis's Manor is indeed a nice place for people to live in. The ladies here compete with each other in looks." The bridesmaid was a sweet talker and took a quick look at them. "The two ladies of the Marquis's Manor are also extremely excellent. Without Fifth Young Lady Ning, the stunning beauty, as a comparison, the two ladies are rare beauties, especially Third Young Lady Ning who is said to be the consort of Third Prince soon. She is charming and graceful."So, she blurted out these nice words.Due to the fact that Ning Yuling and Ning Ziyan committed wrongdoings time after time these days, Madam Dowager did not let
The occupants of the Lord Protector's Manor realized that it was just a false alarm and the incident had nothing to do with them. Only God knew whose family's marriage sedan did those black-clothed men hijack. When Ning Xueyan woke up and rested for a while, the porters started carrying the sedan as normal. The incident left Ning Zu'an so nervous that he dispatched several of the manor's guards to protect Ning Xueyan's wedding entourage.Prince Yi's Manor also received news of the sedan hijacking but Prince Yi didn't stay out to receive the guests. His magnificent wedding robe appeared to be the handiwork of the palace, but it was the same one that Ning Xueyan had embroidered. It had the design as the robe that the palace had embroidered for him.Ao Chenyi stood in front of the mirror in his wedding robe and looked at his reflection with satisfaction. When he heard voices outside his door, he languidly walked out with his long hair draped over his shoulders
Although Consort Ning was fine, she had suffered some shock, so Prince Yi had gone to her place to comfort her. However, her mistress was his princess, so why wasn't he visiting her instead?"Where is His Highness?" Commandery Princess Xianyun directly asked, lowering her eyes."Princess, I heard that Consort Ning has fainted. Her health has always been poor and she also suffered a great shock today. His Highness is worried, so he has gone to check on her." A sympathetic Qiuhuan reached out to massage her mistress' legs. Her mistress had been sitting for so long that her legs and feet must have gone numb.Commandery Princess Xianyun had kept her body very still from the moment she sat on the marital bed. It had been such a long time since. Moving her legs and feet now brought on a wave of numbness that nearly made her cry out in pain."She fainted? On the first day of her marriage?" A sneer appeared on Commandery Princess Xianyun's
"Who's targeting me? You can give me your opinion, prince." Biting her lips, she suppressed the uncomfortable feeling in her eyes and looked to the side as if she was distracted by something. Now she always felt that something was different from the past, so that she had the feeling that she was a little lowlier in momentum, but she did not know if it was because she and he now had a perfectly justifiable relationship."Ao Mingyu is so good! He even dares to take a fancy to my woman." Ao Chenyi snorted coldly. Today's jubilant color made him look more superbly handsome.Although he had an unpleasant expression, Ning Xueyan realized something inexplicably, feeling a little uncomfortable. Although it was true that she was married to him now and could be counted as a member of his... mansion, she still felt that this was a little... different."Who was the person in the sedan chair?" Lying in Ao Chenyi's arms, she blinked her watery eyes and asked
Ning Xueyan did not expect that she did not spend her wedding night in the Pear Flower Garden, but in the Fragrance Garden, which was the courtyard of the mysterious favored concubine of Prince Yi's Manor. No one but Ao Chenyi and his henchmen could enter this place.As for the princess and the consort who stayed in the bridal chambers of the Great Wisdom Garden and the Pear Flower Garden respectively, both of them lost the favor, and the lonely candles in their chambers were on throughout the night.Others only saw that Ao Chenyi left before staying too long in the Pear Flower Garden. Although Prince Yi did not go to the Great Wisdom Garden of Commandery Princess Xianyun, there was nothing to be proud of for the Pear Flower Garden that Prince Yi visited but left. In contrast, the Fragrance Garden, where the most mysterious favored concubine of Prince Yi lived, was said to be brightly lit. After coming out of the Pear Flower Garden, Prince Yi went straight
It was a sleepless night in Prince Yi's Manor.Having married two brides simultaneously, one would usually visit the princess' place at night, but Prince Yi was no ordinary person. No one knew which bride he would visit. When they saw him head to Ning Xueyan's courtyard, they thought that he would be staying there instead of Commandery Princess Xianyun's place.To their surprise, the so-called favorite concubine of Prince Yi sent her maid to Consort Ning's place to invite Prince Yi. That left the candles in the two bridal chambers lit all night. On the contrary, it was the concubine's courtyard that looked like it had just celebrated a joyous occasion.It was said that several concubines argued so much that they even kicked up a fuss at Consort Ning's place. Consort Ning's maid had to chase them away. Later, a housekeeper came and punished the trouble-making concubines with 20 rod-beatings. If the manor wasn't having a celebration, they would h
