Ning Xueyan becoming Prince Yi's consort could be said as a complete accident. The Empress recalled that there was another lady that Prince Yi favored, but the unlucky lady had the nerve to upset him. Ning Xueyan ended up being the only choice left.Ning Xueyan becoming Princess Yi was even more incidental. The Emperor agreed to promote Ning Xueyan to calm Prince Yi's anger as well as to punish Commandery Princess Xianyun. It had nothing to do with her as a person. It could only be said that Ning Xueyan was a very lucky person to not only escape unscathed after the death of Prince Yi's favorite concubine, but also gain benefit.A princess who got her position purely from luck and didn't have Ao Chenyi's love shouldn't be this confident. Where did Ning Xueyan find the confidence to confront Lord Peace's Madam so aggressively?"Princess Ning, now that things have come to this, we have to come up with a solution, don't we? Yun Luoluo has undoubted

The emperor's edict was sent directly to the Bright Mind Garden.In fact, its meaning was very simple: Due to the flaws in her personal virtue, Commandery Princess Xianyun shall be demoted from a princess to a consort! This was the whole meaning of the imperial edict. Not long after marrying into Prince Yi's Manor, she had become a consort from a princess. And the situation showed that she was not favored and was even a consort that was watched. The eunuch, who had brought the edict, looked at those few eunuchs guarding the entrance of Prince Yi's Manor, shook his head, heaved a sigh, and went straight back to the imperial palace.Before getting married, Commandery Princess Xianyun had been among the top noble ladies in the capital. Even the ordinary princesses had not been comparable to her. After all, she was the young lady of Lord Peace's Manor, the parents' home of the Empress Dowager, which had had its heyday in the past. If it hadn't been for the earl

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

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

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.
