Chapter 489 It Turns out That This Is...
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Surely, 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
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 491 Planning, and Responses of Different Parties
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.
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 492 The Auspicious Moment Missed on the Wedding Day
"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 Devious First-Daughter Chapter 493 The Wedding Sedan Is Here; Let's Welcome the Bride
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
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 494 They're Married, They're Married
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
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 495 Fright on the Wedding Night
"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
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 496 Moving from One Place to Another on the Wedding Night
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
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 497 The Farce in the Third Prince's Other Courtyard
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

"What will you do now?" Ning Xueyan had to take two quick steps to catch up with Ao Chenyi's pace. "Destroy the nine barbarian states alongside Wen Xueran?""No." Ao Chenyi raised an eyebrow and smiled mysteriously. "I'll negotiate with Wen Xueran."Confused, she repeated, "Negotiate?""The people of the nine barbarian states have always been different from those of the central plains. They're valiant and barbaric. For many years, they have wanted to invade us. If it weren't for the princes of Annan holding down the front, the nine barbarian states would have attacked us a long time ago. Annan troops have fought the nine barbarian states more than our troops did, and they have a better chance of winning too."Ao Chenyi said calmly. He didn't like the nine barbarian states in the slightest. If it weren't his father forbidding him from going to the faraway hinterland of the nine barbarian states, where death was almost certain, he wo

It didn't take long for Qingyu to return from the Lord Protector's Manor with a new piece of news. It was said that there had been a haunting in the prayer hall of the manor.Rumor had it that an older maid became ill from the fright of seeing a ghost.A long time ago, the Cloud Reflection Courtyard was said to be haunted too. No one dared to come close at that time, not even during the day. Even though the rumors died down later on, a few people who were deeply affected by the events said that the situation was still grave then.Therefore, even though only a maid had seen the ghost, the rumors spread like wildfire in the manor.The prayer hall used to be Madam Dowager's favorite spot. It was later used to imprison Madam Ling for some time. Now that Madam Ling was dead, everyone feared that she was the ghost. It was said that Madam Ling was an evil woman when she was alive. Even in death, she might become a malicious ghost. The sit

Ao Chenyi was so close that his handsome face was all that Ning Xueyan could see, and he didn't look all that happy. Then, she realized that she had been holding tightly onto a strand of his black hair.She flung her hand and hastily released the strand of hair in her hand. She even caressed the hair on his temples with a wide smile. "Why are you here? When did you come? Why didn't you wake me up?"Ning Xueyan looked truly confused as if she really didn't know that she had grabbed Ao Chenyi's hair until it hurt."Playing dumb, huh?" he said coldly, frowning at her. His slender fingers reached out and lightly pinched the wing of her nose."Ouch!" Ning Xueyan held her nose pitifully. Her limpid eyes seemed glazed over as if brewing tears."Now you know it hurts!" Ao Chenyi's thin lips were curved into a smile. He was satisfied to see her not daring to voice her frustration.Ning Xueyan nodded firmly without

"Can you remember it now?" Ao Chenyi narrowed his eyes and knocked on their table with his slender fingers. His voice sounded a tad threatening."I… I really can't remember." Ning Xueyan felt like she had thought of all the possible answers but she was still coming up empty. She had no choice but to admit her fault."You really can't remember?" His beautiful eyes curved into a charming arc and his expression was sinister. Sure enough, this was a bad situation to be in. She didn't even hesitate to grab his hand with a bright smile on her tender face."Even if I can't remember, you can still remind me, right?" She knew it would pay well to cajole this man.Ao Chenyi wasn't polite with her either. He turned his hand over and pinched her soft face. His expression had improved considerably. There was a faint smile on his face as he asked, "If I tell you, can you really understand and remember what it is?""Of course I can!"
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 674 Madam Dowager Liu's Message
It seemed that at this point of the letter, the Empress couldn't continue anymore. There were only tear stains on the paper, followed by wide empty spaces.Then, the Empress said how reassured she was that Madam Ming would be taking care of her newborn. Madam Ming would be a fine mother. She had also asked someone to watch over Madam Ming and the newborn. Their statuses in the previous dynasty had vanished like smoke. Time was always moving forward and the changing of imperial dynasties was inevitable.The only tragedy was the eternal separation of her from her husband, and of her from her daughters.The only reason she had written the letter was that she couldn't help herself. If she never said anything, her child would never know the truth. That would have been for the best. Yet, she couldn't accept this, so she would hand the letter to the person who would be looking after Madam Ming. If Ning Ziying's identity was revealed to the world one d

She became ill and bedridden, unable to get up.Ning Xueyan couldn't leave the palace freely due to her status as the Empress.

The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 672 News from Ming Feiyong
"The Empress discovered a secret tunnel under Chenyuan Palace by accident. She never told anyone about it. She even killed the maid that discovered the tunnel with her and accompanied her in walking through the tunnel. In other words, she was the only one who knew about it," Ning Xueyan explained.This was the Empress' secret. To prove it, she used Yun Luoluo's incident as an example. When Ning Xueyan was drugged in Chenyuan Palace, the Empress wanted to take her to a room. There, a man would sneak into the palace through the secret tunnel.If Ning Xueyan woke up and discovered herself in disheveled clothes in the presence of another man, she would surely panic. To protect her secret, she would surely agree with whatever the Empress wanted. The Empress wanted to use Ning Xueyan to force Ao Chenyi into accepting his "affair" with Yun Luoluo.Unfortunately, Ao Chenyi had appeared all of a sudden. She didn't dare to do anything with him around, so

Ao Chenyi didn't try to persuade her this time. This had bothered her for so long that she would continue to suffer for it if she didn't cry it out now. He held her tighter and allowed her to wet the front of his robe. She didn't brawl. All she did was close her eyes and let her tears stream down her face. When her tears finally dried, she sat quietly in Ao Chenyi's embrace for a long time.It was so quiet inside the room that she could finally calm down.Her hands were being held so tightly in Ao Chenyi's hand that she could feel the callus in his palm. He was Prince Yi, the late Emperor's beloved prince who grew up to be the infamous Demon King. Those who mentioned his name would often be frightened and alarmed. Only she knew how difficult his life had been.Ao Chenyi was still young when he drew his elder brother's jealousy and suspicion. He was framed, imprisoned, and nearly died. His fiancee abandoned him at his lowest point, sought shelte

"It was and wasn't an accident. He could only blame himself. No matter what, he was the one who forced my hand and cornered me to this state. He ruined my everything. Him dying in my hands could be considered as his retribution."The Empress began to look calm again. She turned her head and stared at Ning Xueyan with a trace of sadness in her eyes. "I invited you here to ask you to let go of my family. It's all my fault and has nothing to do with my family. They're just a small and useless noble family. In exchange for their safety, I'll tell you a secret."Her voice had lost her previous agitation and anger, leaving only a sense of helplessness. She had never put any hope in her family. She thought that she would be able to help her people after gaining power but now that she was in trouble, she was worried that her family would be implicated and sentenced to death.She had resented her family countless times for marrying her off to the Empero
