Chapter 203: I Like You Too, Like The Third Prince
“Third Sister, I… I am already betrothed!” Ning Lingyun blushed, lowered her head, and answered coyly.
Generally speaking, the betrothal to the Heir of Prince Li was really too high a climb for a concubine-born daughter like her, so she was now quite satisfied, and so she had been quiet recently.
“Fourth Younger Sister is already betrothed? How did I not know, that’s really a pity. The Third Prince was just talking to me about Fourth Younger Sister, saying that among the entire mansion, Fourth Younger Sister is the most well-behaved and lovely, making it difficult to forget at first sight.” Ning Qingshan’s face was full of surprise, and then her smile was as gentle as a flower, and she slowly sighed.
The Third Prince praised her as the most well-behaved and lovely in the entire mansion, and also made him unable to forget her at first sight? Ning Lingyun’s heart thumped twice, and her face was almost unable to control her ecstasy.
The Third Prince, that was the person she had been thinking of and longing for in her heart for a long time, could it be, could it be that he really had feelings for her…
“Third Sister is joking, the Third Prince is of imperial descendant, how… how could he notice a small concubine-born daughter like me.” Suppressing the pounding in her heart, Ning Lingyun rubbed her handkerchief and whispered.
“Fourth Younger Sister is really underestimating yourself. So what if you are a concubine-born daughter? I am still an adopted daughter, and my father holds a high position and is most favored by the Emperor. Even a concubine-born daughter, if placed outside, people would be fighting to marry her, and moreover, you and I get along, and I also like your well-behaved and lovely nature just like the Third Prince does.”
Ning Qingshan smiled radiantly, pulling Ning Lingyun forward, and whispering.
It was as if they were just two sisters chatting intimately.
With a “boom,” Ning Lingyun’s excitement this time almost couldn’t maintain the calm on her face, she only felt her heart pounding, and the great surprise made her tremble.
This was her approval, it must be the Third Prince’s meaning, otherwise Ning Qingshan would not have said such a thing to her, in Ning Lingyun’s memory, Ning Qingshan had always been an All-Round woman, three years ago she was already higher than herself, this concubine-born daughter, and implicitly on par with Ning Yuling and Ning Ziyan, three years later, she should be more smooth and calm.
Moreover, as soon as she returned to the capital, there were rumors that she wanted to marry the Third Prince!
In other words, what she was expressing now was the Third Prince’s meaning, the Third Prince’s meaning was that she should also marry over with Ning Qingshan, the two sisters together, otherwise why would Ning Qingshan say this to her and express such goodwill.
“Fourth Younger Sister, if we sisters can always be together, it is also a good story, and we can support each other, and from now on…we can also enjoy honor forever.” Ning Qingshan’s last few words were very light and low, as if they were just a sigh, but they instantly destroyed the fortress in Ning Lingyun’s heart!
She was still rejoicing that she could marry the Heir of Prince Li before, although the Heir of Prince Li was not very promising, but at least the identity was there, such an identity was not something she could climb high before, she set up a scheme and succeeded in marrying herself to the Heir of Prince Li, which was also a great joy for her.
But this happy event, now compared to the Third Prince’s favor, was really too light, too light, almost as light as a feather!
She had always been fond of the Third Prince, and wholeheartedly wanted to marry the Third Prince, even if she wasn’t the Principal Wife, she would still be wealthy under the heavens, moreover, the people in the mansion, as if they were or were not, were all indicating that the Third Prince would have the aspiration to the throne in the future.
With her own family’s power, at worst, she would also take the position of the four concubines, maybe even be under one person and above ten thousand people, with such a goal, Ning Lingyun had always had ideas about Ao Mingyu, but later she had to give up, this time, the situation brightened, she didn’t expect that she actually had an opportunity, how could she not be excited.
And these words were said by Ning Qingshan, which showed how sincerely the Third Prince wanted to marry her.
“But… but, I am al… already betrothed to the Heir of Prince Li?” Ning Lingyun thought of the Heir of Prince Li at this moment, and no matter how she thought about it, it was not good, the shortcomings that she could endure before for the sake of wealth now felt as distressing as ants biting her heart, compared to the Third Prince, that Heir of Prince Li was really nothing.
He had no appearance, no character, and as for wealth, that was even more incomparable!
“If Fourth Younger Sister doesn’t want to marry, there are still methods, but I don’t know if Fourth Younger Sister is willing?” Ning Qingshan smiled softly, the mockery hidden in her eyes flashed by, Ning Lingyun was still so worldly, she actually treated a wedding as a joke, fortunately, she was originally just playing with her.
“What to do?” Ning Lingyun’s eyes flashed, disregarding her blushing face, she looked up at Ning Qingshan and asked anxiously.
Her wedding had been confirmed by her father, and information had also been exchanged between the two mansions, and people outside also knew about it, it seemed difficult to revoke the marriage.
“Fourth Younger Sister’s wedding, I heard before that it was the Second Older Sister’s, so it can also be someone else’s, Fourth Younger Sister is smart, the Third Prince and I appreciate this point of Fourth Younger Sister the most, both sensible and smart, then you can enjoy that high status and wealth!”
Ning Qingshan smiled slightly, seductively without any expression, looked at Ning Lingyun’s face, which turned red and then white, hooked the corner of her mouth, let go of Ning Lingyun’s hand, and slowly walked forward.
Some words couldn’t be pointed out too much, I believe Ning Lingyun only needs to use this mind.
“Third Sister, I… I’m afraid of Fifth Younger Sister!” Ning Lingyun was stunned, already understanding Ning Qingshan’s meaning, and seeing her walk away, she hurried to take two steps, followed after, and lowered her voice and trembled.
Since the last incident happened, Ning Lingyun no longer dared to say anything more in front of Ning Xueyan, and even avoided her when going to pay respects to the Old Madam, when she schemed against the Heir of Prince Li, that scheme was almost meticulous and had no flaws, but it was ultimately destroyed by Ning Xueyan, and she also provoked Madam Ling and Ning Yuling.
As long as she thought of this, she felt guilty every time she saw Ning Xueyan!
She no longer dared to think about opposing Ning Xueyan.
“Fourth Younger Sister, if you don’t strive for some things, that’s a lifetime matter, compared to a lifetime of happiness, how can you get it without paying some price!” Ning Qingshan smiled slightly, with implied meaning, “Everything is like this, does Fourth Younger Sister think it was a coincidence that I, as an adopted daughter, could get the love of Grandmother and Father!”
“I… I…” She was using herself as an example, which was more convincing than anything, Ning Lingyun opened her mouth, but only uttered the two words “I”.
“Third Sister, Fourth Sister, you are talking so lively, what’s the happy news, let me also hear about the happy news and be happy.” At the corner, Ning Xueyan was standing at the intersection, supporting Lan Ning’s hand, and was smiling and looking over.
“I… we didn’t say anything, we just… just chatted with Third Sister, didn’t say anything about other people!” Seeing Ning Xueyan’s gloomy cold gaze fall on herself, Ning Lingyun uselessly trembled, and hurriedly explained, with the implied meaning of Trying to Hide Something, although her complexion had returned to calm, her expression was naturally a little unnatural.
Ning Xueyan’s black jade-like eyes turned, and she looked at her a few more times thoughtfully, Ning Lingyun’s reaction today was a little abnormal.
“Has Fifth Younger Sister’s body gotten better, are you also going to pay respects to Grandmother?” Ning Qingshan stopped with a calm expression and spoke tenderly.
“It’s a little better, it’s been a long time since I’ve gone to pay respects to Grandmother, I didn’t expect that Third Sister would also get up, has Third Sister’s injury gotten better, the injury is on the leg, I don’t know if there will be a scar, girls, if this leaves a scar, it won’t be good.”
No longer paying attention to Ning Lingyun, Ning Xueyan walked over, looked at Ning Qingshan’s leg, and asked with concern.
The gentle smile on Ning Qingshan’s face was a little stiff, for women, leaving a scar was ultimately not perfect, leaving a scar on her thigh, although others couldn’t see it, but her own husband would definitely see it, so this was also what made Ning Qingshan irritated lately.
Being pointed out by Ning Xueyan like this, she pulled the handkerchief in her hand hard, and a vicious hatred flashed in her eyes.
The matters in the palace, there must be a relationship with Ning Xueyan, that Palace Maid who was pulled out, connected with the eunuch in the Imperial Concubine Ya’s palace, although the words weren’t fully said, but Imperial Concubine Ya already knew that she had done it herself, so she would teach her a lesson in the palace, if it weren’t for Ning Xueyan, she wouldn’t have been able to go to Imperial Concubine Ya’s palace again.
Of course, it was also impossible to encounter the assassin when she came out, she wouldn’t be injured! And there wouldn’t be a scar on her body!
In the end, all of this was caused by Ning Xueyan!
And Ning Xueyan’s words just now were even more like pouring salt on her wound.
“Thank you for Fifth Younger Sister’s concern, the injury isn’t serious, it’s just a slight twist of the leg, how could there be a scar.” Ning Qingshan smiled gently, and casually changed the topic: “How is Fifth Younger Sister’s illness, judging from Fifth Younger Sister’s complexion, you are actually so frail, I will send some medicinal herbs from the courtyard to Fifth Younger Sister later, you need to replenish your body if it’s not good, this is related to the future for girls.”
Ning Qingshan’s leg was actually not injured, what was injured was the shoulder, but to prevent others from knowing that she might have a scar, she deliberately said she twisted it, and the injury on her shoulder had indeed almost healed these few days, but a scar, she didn’t know when it could be eliminated.
Related to the future? Ning Xueyan’s expression showed a few points of surprise, and then she smiled slightly, looked at Qingshan with an implied meaning, and her bright eyes were full of light: “Third Sister is really too polite.”
While speaking, the three people had arrived at Xiangfu Garden, the Old Woman who was guarding the gate saw that the Third Young Lady and the Fifth Miss had both come, and hurriedly went in to report the news, the Old Madam ordered people to invite them in.
Several people chatted with the Old Madam for a while, and then chatted with the Old Madam for a few more sentences, and then they each went back!
Ning Qingshan and Ning Xueyan’s bodies were not good, and the Old Madam didn’t keep them, the three sisters still walked out of the courtyard together!
“Third Sister, did you go see Mother after you came? Shall we three go see her together now?” Ning Xueyan stood still, and smiled at Ning Qingshan and Ning Lingyun.
“Mother is wholeheartedly praying to Buddha, and it was Grandmother’s order, it’s not good for us to go at this time, after some time, after Mother comes out, we will go and pay respects together.”
“No need, wait until Mother comes out of the Buddha Hall!”
The first sentence was said by Ning Qingshan, and the second sentence was said by Ning Lingyun, the two people chose to refuse in unison.
“Okay, then we will go to pay respects after Mother comes out of the Buddha Hall.” Ning Xueyan smiled slightly, her expression was extremely lovely, and her beautiful eyes fell on the faces of the two people, and she leisurely hooked the corner of her mouth!
It was really interesting, it was understandable that Ning Lingyun didn’t dare to see Madam Ling, what did Ning Qingshan mean?
