"What? Consort Ning will invite several good young ladies having close relationships with her to a banquet held in the mansion tomorrow?" Commandery Princess Xianyun hardly believed what she heard. She suddenly put down the handkerchief in her hand and glared at Qingyu in front of her, shocked.She only had one thing in her mind. "Ning Xueyan is crazy. She was reprimanded by Ao Chenyi when she went to the Moon-embracing Tower, but she even dared to do this. This is really crazy!""Outsiders do not know about the situation of Prince Yi's newly married princess and consort, but don't we know about it ourselves?"All the people in the mansion know that the prince really doesn't have much interest in me, his princess, and Ning Xueyan, his consort. Besides, we have just been in the mansion for a few days. Before she gets familiar with all the people here, she even wants to think about holding banquets. What on earth does she want to do?

Ning Xueyan and Heng Yuqing took the left road, where the flower garden was. The road to the right led to the Princess' courtyard while the middle road led to the Prince's study.Heng Yuwan's forehead was sweating again.She stared squarely at the middle road. For a moment, she couldn't move her feet."Second Young Lady, let's go. We don't want to let my master and the First Young Lady wait for too long," Lanning said politely, smiling."You all can go ahead. I need to take a break. My feet hurt." Unexpectedly, Heng Yuwan shook her head and held onto a nearby tree to stand still."I'll stay here and accompany you then, Young Lady." Seeing that Heng Yuwan couldn't walk anymore, it went without saying that her maid would stay with her."It's all right. You can go first. I'll join you after a short break." Heng Yuwan shook her head, rejecting the maid's offer. She didn't want anyone to follow her.

"Very well. Men, go invite Lord Guardian. Tell him to come and take his daughter away. As for our next step... Mingyu, look. My princess thinks that the man should take full responsibility," Ao Chenyi said leisurely, casting a sidelong glance at the Third Prince with a languid expression.Not only did Commandery Princess Xianyun hear her name mentioned, but she also heard Ao Chenyi using her words earlier to force the Third Prince. She felt a bad premonition and yet there was nothing she could say."We'll go with the Princess' suggestion." Ao Mingyu was also looking at the Princess. His emotions were finally under his control, making his face expressionless as he bowed to her."Princess, Yun Li is already there. I'll have to trouble you to take Yun Li away later. Look at what a mess my study turned out. Mingyu, don't just bring anyone to my manor anymore. You're lucky that it was just some other woman this time. It'd be troublesome if it were o

Ning Xueyan's watery eyes glinted with intelligence as she pulled the lapel of his clothes. "Didn't you say you'll leave the inner courtyard matters to me? Why won't you let me step in now?"She understood his intention but she didn't want him to intervene in this kind of thing. After all, if she were involved, it would be at most a dispute between the wife and consort. But if he were to do it, he might cause other problems. There was no shortage of spies among the many nameless concubines living here.It was apparent from the incident on their wedding night that the inner courtyard of the Prince Yi's Manor was an unsteady one. The only reason why those people didn't even dare to take action was Ao Chenyi's ruthlessness. However, the inner courtyard was ultimately still a harem. If Ao Chenyi were to intervene, it might give the Emperor an excuse to do the same.Since she married him with the intention of helping him solve his problems, she woul

Commandery Princess Xianyun sat in the room of the Pear Flower Garden with a gentle smile, waiting for Ning Xueyan's return. Ostensibly, she behaved gracefully and smiled lightly while chatting casually with Lanning with a teacup in her hand. Of course, what she asked about was Ning Xueyan's daily life. She orally cared about her living from time to time and instructed that if anything was needed here, they should go and tell her.As soon as she finished talking, Ning Xueyan walked in with Qingyu.When she saw that Ning Xueyan frowned slightly with depression in her heart although she looked calm and Qingyu was behind her with an angry face, she knew very well what had happened but pretended to show that she knew nothing and said with a smile, "Sister Ning, I was bored staying in my place, so I came here to bother you. I hope you forgive me.""Princess, you are so courteous. Please sit down." Ning Xueyan sat down and asked Lanning to renew Comm
