Chapter 595 Wu Yao Who Lives Next Door to Grand Tutor Ya's Manor
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Senior concubines were lowly in all mansions, especially in the home of a royal clan like a prince's mansion. If their names were not recorded on the Royal List, they were the same as the ordinary concubines in the mansion. Although they had the lowliest title, it was still nothing in the eyes of the real royal family.
Therefore, giving the concubines without titles or those with the senior concubine's title to each other was nothing eventful for the royal clans.
Ning Qingshan was now to enter and live in Prince Xiang's Manor, but she would only be a senior concubine, even without a madam's position, so she was most likely to be given to others.
"You are now put under the name of Madam Ling. I remember Madam Ling is now a concubine in the lowest class in the mansion, so her biological daughter can only serve as a concubine now. Then what about you? Do you still expect to be promoted with such a background? You are so lowly, and you also did the

The three of them sat still in the pavilion, and the servants brought them tea and retreated to the outside. Ning Huaijing glanced at Ning Xueyan and asked with somewhat concern, "Fifth Sister, you don't look well. You are ill again, aren't you?"Ning Xueyan said with a small smile, "I'm fine. Thank you for your care, second brother. Did our father get any news?"What she was asking about was that Ning Zu'an had written a memorial to ask the emperor to make Ning Huaijing a princely heir. About this, Ao Chenyi had already told her, saying that the memorial had been sent and the news should be announced in one day or two."Our father says it might take a few days." Ning Huaijing smiled and shook his head. He was not anxious about it because he knew that Ning Zu'an had done this completely for the sake of Ao Chenyi; otherwise, it would have never been his turn.It was not that he really liked this title, but to better protect his moth

"You'll be the emperor, and I'll be the empress?" Ning Xueyan smiled extremely lightly."Right, I'll be the emperor, and you'll be the empress!" Wen Xueran had a stunning smile, which had a little gentleness and sincerity. It was enough to warm and soften all women's hearts.But Ning Xueyan was not among them."Do you believe that the military medallion can mobilize the squad of guards of the previous dynasty?" Ning Xueyan asked, with a bit scoff in her eyes."I don't!" Wen Xueran said calmly.Ning Xueyan's eyes seemed to be peaceful, but there were tornadoes in the depths of them, in fact. "He doesn't even believe that military medallion, the one which is said to have probably fallen into the hands of the Great Elder Princess. He doesn't even believe it, or this is a snare as I thought.""But why do you want to marry me? I'm a married woman!" Ning Xueyan stared attentively at Wen Xueran. She always though

As expected, the imperial edict announcing Ning Huaijing to be the princely heir of Lord Protector was issued the following day. Immediately, Lord Protector's Manor held a banquet. Ning Xueyan paid a visit here but left early with the excuse that she was not well. Therefore, Madam Dowager, who wanted to come here and chat more with her, had no chance to do so.When Ning Xueyan came to see Ao Chenyi, the latter was discussing something with his aides and staff on the second floor, so she went to wait for him on the third floor.The third floor was Ao Chenyi's living room. After leading her to the place, Eunuch Zhu retreated. Sitting on the couch, Ning Xueyan casually picked up a book and read it at the table, but she put it down after only leafing through a few pages and frowned. The room was quiet. Lanning brought her tea and stepped aside.When Ao Chenyi came upstairs after a while, he saw her leaning there with barely closed eyes as if she wa

Chen Hexiang stood up with a jolt and anxiously asked her maid, "What? Ning Ziyan is pregnant?""Yes, I heard it loud and clear. Concubine Ning's maid went to the backdoor to retrieve prenatal medicine. When I followed her, I saw her preparing the medicinal soup and giving it to Concubine Ning. She came out to wash the bowl afterward, but I didn't see Concubine Ning coming out."The maid replied in a quiet voice.It was no wonder that Ning Ziyang was behaving strangely these days. When she first fell from her pedestal as the official wife, she would go to the main courtyard and wail loudly. She stopped making such a fuss afterward and didn't even visit her biological sister Ning Yuling anymore. She didn't even question anything when Ning Yuling inexplicably died in the Lord Protector's Manor, choosing to stay out of trouble.Every time Chen Hexiang went to provoke her, she would give her the cold shoulder and recuperate in her room

The weather was gradually turning warm in Prince Yi's secondary manor outside the city. Ning Xueyan had left the manor with the excuse of recreation. When she reached the secondary manor, she entered a courtyard near the backdoor and settled down inside a unique room.The room was divided in half, with a special curtain separating the front and back of the room. The curtain allowed Ning Xueyan to see the people opposite her, but the people opposite her wouldn't be able to see the other side of the room."Master, can we begin?" Xinmei asked. Ning Xueyan nodded. This was why she had come out today. It so happened that there would be a banquet at the palace tomorrow to celebrate the two princes.That left just enough time for her plan.Seeing Ning Xueyan nod, Xinmei left the room. Lanning served Ning Xueyan tea and then stood behind her. Shortly after, Xinmei reentered the room and stood on the other side of Ning Xueyan.

Watching Chen Hexiang get blindfolded again and taken out of the room, Ning Xueyan led Xinmei and Lanning back to the main building and sat down.Xinmei made a cup of tea for Ning Xueyan and asked rather worriedly, "Master, will Chen Hexiang go back on her word when she gets to the Justice Department?" It was evident that Chen Hexiang wasn't a good woman; she looked like she had so many ideas when she was kneeling on the floor earlier."She won't." Ning Xueyan took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "She might even be worried that we won't let her go."Chen Hexiang had become a fugitive concubine after causing Ning Ziyan's miscarriage. If she didn't make herself useful, the mysterious Madam wouldn't keep her. Besides, her complaining about Ning Ziying's death was a much bigger problem than her causing a fellow concubine's miscarriage.When that time came, all eyes would be on Ning Ziying. No one would care if she had pushed Ning Ziya

It went without saying that the palace banquet, especially one held to congratulate the two princes, had invited many people.Not only did the officials come, but they brought their wives and daughters as well. The weather had been growing warm lately, but the air was fresh thanks to the rain last night.The imperial garden was particularly lively. The palace servants had prepared a variety of fruits and pastries as appetizers for the guests while they enjoyed the scenery. Even though it was the beginning of summer, there were still many flowers blooming in the garden. Coupled with the greenery that lined the paths of the yards, the entire place was brimming with vitality.Ning Xueyan and Ao Chenyi entered the palace together, though the latter was summoned by the Emperor the minute he got there. Ning Xueyan was left to stroll in the imperial garden with Xinmei. There were so many maids and eunuchs all over the palace today that the rules were

Xinmei stepped forward, placing herself in front of Yan Zhen, and said coldly, "What do you mean? Don't tell me, you're reprimanding our Princess?"A mere palace maid, even if she was the personal attendant of the most favored Honored Consort Xia, had no right to reprimand Princess Yi. Honored Consort Xia didn't have a high status. She wasn't one of the four main consorts, so she was much lower-ranked than Honored Consort Shu and Honored Consort Ya. At most, she was the Emperor's beloved consort.No matter how loved she was, she was still a consort. More importantly, her maid was going against Princess Yi. Prince Yi was the sort who wouldn't give in even out of respect for the Emperor, and the offender was just the Emperor's consort. Honored Consort Xia had no right to reprimand Princess Yi, never mind her maid.Facing Xinmei's stern expression, Yan Zhen's face turned red and white from anger and shame.She had been putting on airs

"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
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 677 Sudden Revolt in the Palace
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
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 673 A Letter Within a Letter
The news of Ning Zu'an's death shocked everyone in the Lord Protector's Manor. Even though the title had been passed onto Ning Huaijing, Ning Zu'an was the patriarch of the family. Even without the title, he was still the most authoritative figure in the manor.Madam Dowager collapsed as soon as she heard the news of his death. She became ill and bedridden, unable to get up.Ning Xueyan couldn't leave the palace freely due to her status as the Empress. She sent Qingyu and Mother Han to the manor and had them inquire about Madam Dowager's health in her place. Mother Han returned to Prince Yi's Manor afterward while Qingyu entered the palace to report to Ning Xueyan.It was inconvenient for Mother Han to live in the palace because she had a son to take care of. Instead of entering the palace with Ning Xueyan, she stayed in Prince Yi's Manor as the housekeeper. Ning Xueyan was prepared to release her from the manor when the situation stabilized in
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
The Devious First-Daughter Chapter 671 Whether an Emperor Needs Imperial Consorts
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
