Chapter 500 Schemes of the Harem
Ning Xueyan met the reigning Emperor for the first time in the Empress' palace.
She kowtowed to the Emperor and Empress together with Commandery Princess Xianyun, with Ao Chenyi following suit with a lackadaisical attitude. The Princess was dressed in a bright red robe while Ning Xueyan was dressed in purple. Ao Chenyi wore his usual black gown embroidered with crimson red spider lily patterns.
Ning Xueyan took care to take a step back when the Princess was greeting the Emperor and Empress and knelt behind her.
Ao Chenyi had long found a seat for himself on the sidelines. He had only bent his waist ever so slightly earlier, having been stopped by the Emperor when he tried to kneel.
The Emperor, seated high on the platform, was smiling. He didn't look as solemn and dignified as expected, but his attention wasn't on the women. After casually nodding, he waited for Ao Chenyi to speak.
The Empress appeared to be in her thi

Ning Xueyan didn't stay long in the Empress' palace before being excused. The Empress told her to drop the courtesy and take a stroll around the palace on this rare visit.Commandery Princess Xianyun lowered her head and glanced sideways at her, asking if she needed to be accompanied.Despite her offer, Ning Xueyan knew that she couldn't leave with the Princess in the middle of her happy conversation with the Empress. Moreover, she was a consort while the Princess was the legal wife. It didn't make sense for the Princess to keep a mere consort company while she strolled around the palace.Ning Xueyan tactfully declined the offer and walked out of the Empress' palace, where Lanning had been waiting at the door all along. Seeing her, Lanning naturally walked behind her. Ning Xueyan had told the Empress that she was just taking a walk, so the Empress didn't assign any servants to her.Hundreds of flowers in the imperial garden were in

After finishing speaking, Honored Consort Xia turned her head sideways, had two low coughs, covered her face with her handkerchief, and spoke with a little embarrassment to Ning Xueyan. "Please don't laugh at me, Consort Ning.""You are in poor health, Your Highness?" Ning Xueyan herself was a person who had been ill for a long time. At this time, she found that the complexion of Honored Consort Xia was indeed not good, and her eyebrows and eyes were even a little paler."I've been unhealthy. No matter how much medicine I take in normal times, it is useless. This is an old illness," Honored Consort Xia exposed somewhat self-ridicule and said softly."Were you discussing Buddha dharma with Senior Nun Jing Kong just now, Your Highness?" Honored Consort Xia did not seem to want to further continue this topic, and Ning Xueyan didn't think that it was good to have a deep talk with someone unfamiliar, so she raised another topic cleverly.
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 503 The Relationship Between the Empress and Commandery Princess Xianyun
When Ning Xueyan returned to the Chenyuan Palace of the empress with Lanning, she happened to meet the palace servant sent by the empress to look for her.When it was eating time, the emperor reappeared in the Chenyuan Palace with Ao Chenyi. Everyone took their seats, and a happy family banquet was held. This time, not only Honored Consort Ya and Honored Consort Shu but also Third Prince and Fourth Prince had come here.Rarely, Honored Consort Ya and Honored Consort Shu were cordial this time. Not only did Commandery Princess Xianyun receive their kindness, but even Ning Xueyan also received lots of kindness from them. If it were not for the fact that Ning Xueyan had met Honored Consort Ya and Honored Consort Shu before and knew that they did not like her, now she would think that she was truly agreeable.After the banquet, Ao Chenyi took her and Commandery Princess Xianyun to bid goodbye to the emperor and the empress and then left.

"Are you afraid of staying with me?""It's... tolerable!""Don't be afraid. I'm with you!" There was a touch of light pampering in the lazy voice, giving her ears an extremity and comfortable numbness, which were light, but Ning Xueyan could make them out because they were the feelings that she desired but could not get, so she was exceptionally sensitive to them. Inexplicably, she did not avoid his hand but held it this time.As for the situation of Prince Yi's Manor, she had already made a guess before getting married: As a backyard where there was no mistress but there were so many concubines sent from the palace or even a few others taken in by Ao Chenyi, it was impossible for it to be not messy; besides, Commandery Princess Xianyun, who had bad intent, would also be here, so all the things in this place would be completely messed up.No matter how much she wanted to keep them in order, she could not make it, so she had a littl

Ning Xueyan avoided her quietly, smiled, and stepped aside. "Please go first, princess.""It's not a big deal. Since we are now members of the prince's mansion, we should naturally call each other sister, and there is no need to show so much courtesy. During the time you left, I was afraid that you would go the wrong way and especially asked Her Highness the Empress to look for you." Commandery Princess Xianyun, who seemed to be in a good mood, showed that she did not care about what happened last night at all and deliberately talked to her with a friendly attitude. Her eyes and brows were relaxed, and her manner was dignified and generous."Thank you, princess." Ning Xueyan nodded meekly. Knowing that Commandery Princess Xianyun had something to tell her, she walked side by side with Commandery Princess Xianyun sensibly.Seeing her coming in with her sensibly, Commandery Princess Xianyun showed a slight satisfaction on her face. "Fifth Young L
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 506 Commandery Princess Xianyun's Invitation
Mother Ruan didn't stay long in the Pear Flower Garden. Having stopped by Commandery Princess Xianyun's Great Wisdom Garden earlier, visiting Ning Xueyan's courtyard was considered part of her job as the steward of the inner courtyard. Today, she had managed to meet the two new mistresses of Prince Yi's Manor.Everything in the manor had been taken care of and there was nothing wrong with the inner courtyard either. Besides, with the Princess around, Ning Xueyan didn't think that any task would land on her hands. She decided to hide in her room and take a comfortable nap.She thought that she might develop insomnia after moving to a new place but she quickly got used to her new environment and was able to sleep well. Back when she was nursing her health in the Bright Frost Garden, her doctor had advised her to take frequent naps. Sleeping more would help her regulate her already weak body.So, Ning Xueyan developed a napping habit!
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 507 Targeting the Weakest
That was what Commandery Princess Xianyun thought and firmly believed. So, even if Ao Chenyi had been so cold to her this morning, she felt that she had an absolute chance at victory upon calming down.She didn't want to let go of the chance this time. The reason she wanted to get Ning Xueyan involved was so that she would have a scapegoat. If she had gone against Ao Chenyi's intention, she would pin the blame on Ning Xueyan. Besides, he didn't like the consort anyway. Compared to the Princess that he had just married, it would be easier for him to punish his unfavored consort.Of course, if she managed to satisfy Ao Chenyi, she would take all the credit without any guilt. She was the person who proposed the plan, after all, and Ning Xueyan was just an observer."Go! Bring the person here so I can hear the story again," she said, gritting her teeth. Things had gone too far. Even if Ning Xueyan wouldn't come, she had no choice but to investigate

"Don't worry. Let's watch and see how it goes. I'm sure that we'll hear something by dinnertime!" A relaxed Ning Xueyan finished a knot on her pendant and continued knotting downward. There was a cold smile on her face. This matter wasn't so simple and Ao Chenyi probably wouldn't want her to make her move now.That was why the Prince suppressed the matter without informing her. If he had other intentions, he wouldn't have told her not to rush things in the carriage. It was apparent that there was a deeper meaning to his words.Commandery Princess Xianyun was too impatient this time, unlike her usual calm temperament.Even if she wanted to suppress the consort, she shouldn't have done it in these two days. She should have focused on maintaining the peace of Prince Yi's Manor. Truth to be told, she probably had a million ways to deal with a consort who was rightfully below her!Ning Xueyan suspected that it was because Ao Chenyi didn
