Phoenix hairpin was not something that ordinary people could wear!
Only the women of the royal family could be called phoenix. Since Honored Consort Ya gave such a phoenix hairpin, she must like Ning Yuling and wanted to marry her as the Third Prince's wife.
Madam Dowager was also happy and felt relieved. She didn't expect that Honored Consort Ya didn't ask about Ning Yuling. How could Madam Dowager not be happy? She specially asked Ning Yuling to dress up to leave a good impression on Honored Consort Ya.
The palace maids put jewelry and brocade on the table one by one, gorgeous and noble!
"Hey, why does she also have a phoenix hairpin here?" Ning Yuling was complacently looking at her reward. Suddenly she turned her head and saw that there was also a golden phoenix hairpin in Ning Xueyan's jewelry box. Although it was not as gorgeous as hers, it was not an ordinary one. Ning Yuling couldn't help but cry out.
She was annoyed. How could this little bitch deserve a phoenix hairpin?
"I think the palace maids brought an extra phoenix hairpin. Well, give it to Fifth Young Lady!" Honored Consort Ya waved her hand casually and said as if she didn't care.
The palace maids gave an extra phoenix hairpin. This kind of phoenix hairpin couldn't be given easily. Ning Xueyan sneered in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She stepped back two steps and bowed respectfully, "Thank you, Honored Consort Ya, but I can't accept this phoenix hairpin."
She didn't rush to be the Third Prince's consort. How could she accept this phoenix hairpin? It was obvious that this phoenix hairpin was lower than Ning Yuling's. One was the main one and the other one was the side one. Unexpectedly, Honored Consort Ya didn't say anything on the surface, but gave the phoenix hairpin to her. If she accepted the phoenix hairpin, it would be difficult to explain!
She dared to refuse his mother's phoenix hairpin. The Third Prince was slightly unhappy!
Although he had previously heard that she did not want to marry into the Imperial Family, when the opportunity was right in front of her, she actually rejected it. How could the Third Prince, who had always been high up and admired by countless women, not feel his self-esteem suffer a great blow? For a moment, his expression was not very good. He lowered his head and played with the fan in his hand, not saying a word.
Madam Dowager also understood at this time and hurriedly refused, "Honored Consort Ya really thinks highly of this child. How dare she accept such a precious thing?"
Hearing this, Honored Consort Ya looked at the golden phoenix hairpin slightly and seemed to suddenly think of something, "Oh, I was negligent. Someone come and change a golden hairpin for Fifth Young Lady."
The palace maids immediately took off the phoenix hairpin and replaced it with an ordinary one.
The palace maids immediately took off the phoenix hairpin and replaced it with an ordinary one.
Ning Xueyan knew that the Honored Consort Ya was really interested in her. Ning Xueyan knew her own situation. She was sick and weak now. No family would like to marry her. Who knew if she would die in a few days? That would be really unlucky.
Moreover, the Consort of status of the Third Prince's consort Consort.
Consort. Consort Consort of consort. Consort of Consort of Consort consort of the Third. Consort. of Con Consort of Qin to the Consort of consort of Consort of Consort. Since they had a good relationship, why didn't she send someone to pay her respects after her mother's death? Could it be that she had other thoughts …
After her rebirth, she was used to thinking of things in a bad light. The tragedy of her previous life taught her that some things could be found!
The Honored Consort Ya and the Third Prince didn't sit for a long time and then left. Ning Yuling was also sent away by Madam Dowager. Ning Xueyan was left behind. Under the light, Madam Dowager's face flickered, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, and more cold. Ning Xueyan stood in the same place, lowered her head and said nothing.
"Are you willing to marry into the Third Prince's Mansion?" Old Madam asked slowly. She stared at Ning Xueyan closely with a glint in her eyes.
"Yan 'er is not willing!" Ning Xueyan said firmly. She looked up at Madam Dowager respectfully and said, "Grandmother, Yan 'er just heard the Honored Consort Ya's words clearly, but Yan' er really doesn't want to marry into the Third Prince's Mansion."
"Oh, why? Since ancient times, marrying into the royal family can bring wealth and glory. Moreover, with the identity of the Third Prince, such glory and splendor can be more. Even if you are a consort, you may have great wealth in the future. Are you really willing to marry into the Third Prince's Mansion?" Madam Dowager didn't say it clearly, but Ning Xueyan understood.
If the Third Prince improved further, it would be a completely different world. Those who followed him before, no matter if they were concubines or concubines, even if they were concubines, they would all have a chance to turn their lives around. They would be able to enjoy more than just a little bit of glory and wealth.
Ning Xueyan said respectfully and softly, "Grandmother, this matter is not something that a girl should say. But since you deliberately asked me to ask, Yan 'er will not hide it. The Third Prince and my Second Sister have an alliance, and my Second Sister also likes the Third Prince. Yan' er is not willing to be the stick that separates them. Moreover, we are the legitimate daughters of the Lord Protector's Mansion and have high status. If we marry into the Third Prince's Mansion together, it will only weaken the reputation of the Lord Protector's Mansion. Moreover, if the Third Prince … We don't have to be in the same boat!"
Ning Xueyan paused and looked at Madam Dowager sincerely. She didn't finish her words, but she pointed out at the end. Her words were for the sake of others, but it also showed that if the Third Prince was not successful, the whole Lord Protector's Mansion might be dragged into the whirlpool. It was not easy to get rid of a legitimate daughter, but to marry two was to be tied to the same boat.
No one could say that the fight for the throne was successful before it was successful. What's more, it was the ruthless and cold-blooded Prince Yi who had power in the imperial court. He was not easy to provoke.
Madam Dowager was stunned and looked at Ning Xueyan with her sharp eyes. She was speechless for a long time. She didn't expect that the most inconspicuous Fifth Maid had such insight. How could Madam Dowager not be shocked? She didn't say it clearly, and Ning Xueyan didn't say it clearly either. But both of them had the same meaning.
"It's hard for you to have such an idea in the boudoir." After a long time, Madam Dowager sighed and looked a little gentle. Ning Xueyan's scruples were also Madam Dowager's scruples. Before the matter was clear, she would not let her son bet the whole Lord Protector's Mansion.
"Yan 'er doesn't dare!" Ning Xueyan said softly. Her eyes were not flustered at all. She was not like those Misses of aristocratic families who blushed when they saw the Third Prince. Ning Xueyan was aloof. Even the phoenix hairpin given by Honored Consort Ya was politely rejected by her. It seemed that she really didn't want to marry Ning Yuling to the Third Prince's Mansion.
"Well, go back and have a rest! You are tired today. Your Second Sister is impatient. Although some words are blunt, they are unintentional. As her younger sister, you should forgive her. " This time, Madam Dowager had a more sincere smile on her face. She waved her hand and specially asked the servant girls to send Ning Xueyan's reward to her.
Although the cloth she got was very good, the color was plain and elegant. It might be because of her mother's death.
Honored Consort Ya took a lot of people and occupied three courtyards. Fortunately, the temple had known that she would come, so they had left these courtyards in the middle of the temple. The Third Prince didn't enter his own courtyard. He came with Honored Consort Ya. When they entered the room and sat down, the Third Prince looked very gloomy.
"What? Do you really want that sick woman? " Honored Consort Ya looked at her son's gloomy face and suddenly smiled. She asked the servants to serve tea and let them leave.
"Mother, Ning Yuling is arrogant and domineering. She is a shrew. I don't want her. You didn't see what she did in the temple before. She not only beat and scolded her younger sister, but also called me a little bitch and scolded me with filthy words. How can such a woman be my wife?"
The Third Prince said unhappily. He took the tea and took a sip. Inexplicably, he thought of Ning Yuling beating and scolding Ning Xueyan. Ning Xueyan wore a plain dress, but she was still calm. At first glance, he knew that she was very virtuous. She was a suitable candidate to be his wife. She was more than a hundred times better than Ning Yuling who was a shrew.
He had inquired about her before. She was extremely unpopular in the Lord Protector's Manor. Could it be that she refused because of the Lord Protector's Manor? Thinking of this, the Third Prince's heart warmed up a little. Thinking of this, he felt worried about her because she was so pure and lovely.
"Mother, how about marrying Ning Xueyan?" He turned to Honored Consort Ya and said.
"No!" Honored Consort Ya's face darkened and she refused directly.
"Why?" The Third Prince couldn't help but ask.
"Why? Do you need me to tell you? Do you really like that girl? She doesn't have many years to live. Maybe she won't even have a chance to marry you. How can such a woman continue to have children for you? Moreover, she has nothing. What's the benefit of marrying her? "
Honored Consort Ya said coldly.
In fact, the Third Prince understood what she said. He also knew that it was impossible to marry her as his wife. Ning Yuling was the daughter of a co-wife. It was possible for her to be a concubine, but it was too low to be his wife. He married Ning Yuling not only for her, but also for the power behind her.
One was a favored daughter, and the other was not. It was also related to Ning Zu 'an's attitude. How could the Third Prince not know the twists and turns of it?
"Just now, there was a report that the assassination failed again. At this time, you still have the time to think about love. Don't worry. If possible, I will marry Ning Xueyan as a concubine. The Lord Protector's Manor doesn't want to marry both of their daughters to you. If they can't marry her, they won't be so pretentious."
Honored Consort Ya said coldly. Just now, Madam Dowager refused her again and again, which had already made her angry. Now there was no outsider in front of her, so she didn't need to hide anymore. She knew clearly what Madam Dowager was thinking. With Ning Xueyan's talent and appearance, she could marry a good man. Unfortunately, she was sick and had no support from her family.
What's more, she deliberately asked Ning Xueyan to come here today and said those words. She knew that Madam Dowager wouldn't agree, but she still did it. Originally, she wanted to make the shrewish Second Young Lady of the Lord Protector's Manor mind. This Second Young Lady was definitely not easy to deal with. She would definitely take action. She just needed to watch the show.
Or she could help Ning Xueyan when she was in a desperate situation …
Of course, these were not her main purpose. How could the daughter-in-law she wanted be these two people? It was just that the situation was not clear now, so she just wanted to pass the time.
"Mother, you can decide this matter. I will go to deal with the affairs first." Hearing that the assassination failed again, the Third Prince rubbed his eyebrows and stood up. He put Ning Xueyan's matter aside. This was the fifth group of people he sent out. No one hurt Ao Chenyi. If it went on like this, the people he secretly trained would not be enough!
"See if there are any clues left. Clean them all up!" Honored Consort Ya said coldly.
"I know." The Third Prince turned around and strode away. The room became quiet. Only the Honored Consort Ya sat quietly under the lamp, frowning slightly.
"Honored Consort Ya, do you want to take a bath and rest?" A woman about 30 years old knocked on the door, walked in and asked.
"Okay." Honored Consort Ya nodded. It was late. Madam would come to visit tomorrow morning, so she nodded.
