“Um!”
After a night's rest, all the weariness on her body faded away.
“What time is it?”
“Returning to the heir apparent's wife, it's already the Mao hour.”
Ning Yuwan lazily yawned, and immediately someone on her side handed her a damp silk handkerchief.
She lifted her eyes and saw two unfamiliar little maids.
“Who are you?”
“I'm Lotus Leaf, and she's Lotus Seed. From now on, we'll serve you, miss.”
Ning Yuwan had personal maids in the Yongning Marquis Mansion, named Hong Ling and Hong Ying.
But Ning Yuqin, in order to carry out her plot on the wedding day, secretly sent the two maids out of the mansion in advance.
So there was no maid she was used to around her for the time being. She didn't expect that Yan Zhao even noticed this.
Thinking this in her heart, a faint smile appeared on her lips, making her look extremely charming.
The two little maids were slightly stunned by her beauty. It was Lotus Leaf who reacted first.
“The heir apparent's wife should wipe her face first. You'll have to enter the palace to pay respects to the emperor later.”
Lotus Leaf was steady and well - behaved, while Lotus Seed was shy and timid. But both of them were quite dexterous, and their temperaments were good.
Ning Yuwan didn't dislike them. “Where's the heir apparent?”
There was a faint trace of someone sleeping on her left side, but the warmth had long since faded.
“The palace summoned at the Yin hour. The heir apparent entered the palace first.”
Lotus Leaf quickly made the bed. Suddenly, she saw the clean and white wedding handkerchief and paused for a moment.
She carefully examined the heir apparent's wife's complexion and didn't notice anything unusual, so she had to suppress her thoughts for the time being.
Ning Yuwan didn't know what she was thinking. She let Lotus Seed help her with her makeup and thought to herself: Although Yan Zhao was the son of the mighty general, after his father's death, the imperial power took back the military power, and he only got the title of a leisurely heir apparent.
This marriage was bestowed by the emperor out of boredom. It was only natural for the newlyweds to enter the palace to pay respects today.
But what urgent matter made Yan Zhao leave his newly - wedded wife and enter the palace so early?
In fact, there was no major event in the palace.
It was just that Princess Anping, Chu Nian'an, falsely passed on the emperor's oral edict and asked Ning Yuwan to enter the palace early to be left in the cold.
However, no one expected that only Yan Zhao came.
“Cousin Zhao, where's your newly - wedded wife?”
Chu Nian'an carelessly grabbed Yan Zhao's sleeve. “Could it be that she's too ugly for you to bring her into the palace to meet Father?”
Behind her, An Xingzhi, the granddaughter of the imperial tutor and also the princess's companion, looked at Yan Zhao with full of apologies. Her tender and affectionate eyes were filled with lingering affection.
“She was tired last night and will enter the palace later.”
Yan Zhao said directly. Chu Nian'an and An Xingzhi, both unmarried girls, immediately understood. Their cheeks blushed.
“You...”
Chu Nian'an was speechless. The hands that were grabbing Yan Zhao also stopped. How dare she continue to ask?
If others heard about it, they would think that she, a princess, didn't know shame and insisted on asking about the secrets of a newly - wedded couple.
“Don't you have morning classes today?”
Yan Zhao asked instead.
“Ah, I do.”
Just seeing Yan Zhao, Chu Nian'an was a little afraid in her heart. After all, this cousin had a really bad temper.
She had self - awareness. She was a bit willful and indulgent, but she didn't dare to kill people.
But Cousin Zhao really dared!
She originally wanted to secretly bully Ning Yuwan behind Yan Zhao's back, but her plan was immediately aborted.
“Hurry up and go!”
“Oh.” Chu Nian'an covered her face and ran away.
An Xingzhi was a step slower, but she didn't immediately chase after.
Instead, she looked shy and guilty. “Sorry, Heir Apparent Yan. I couldn't persuade the princess.”
Yan Zhao wasn't very familiar with An Xingzhi. He only saw her always following beside Chu Nian'an when he met the princess.
An Xingzhi's face turned pale. “Yes.”
Seeing that Yan Zhao was about to leave, she suddenly called out to him. “Heir Apparent Yan.”
Yan Zhao frowned. “What else?”
“Is the heir apparent's wife really as beautiful as the legend?”
Yan Zhao nodded. “Wanwan is really extremely beautiful!”
After thinking for a while, he added, “If Wanwan didn't keep a low profile on weekdays, the title of the most beautiful woman in the capital would be hers.”
An Xingzhi, who was rated as the most beautiful woman in the capital: “...”
Did this mean that she was too high - profile on weekdays?
No matter what it meant, An Xingzhi was just unhappy in her heart.
But unexpectedly, Yan Zhao, who was originally about to leave, seemed to have found a bosom friend. “Wanwan is beautiful and talented. It's my good fortune for three lifetimes to marry her!”
An Xingzhi thought in her heart: Hehe!
Your Highness the Heir Apparent, do you still remember your usually cold, taciturn and fierce appearance?
At this moment, on the way, Ning Yuwan gently rubbed her nose and sneezed three times in a row.
“Did the heir apparent's wife catch a cold last night?”
Lotus Leaf quickly put down the carriage curtain to prevent the cold air from getting in and making Ning Yuwan cold.
Lotus Seed didn't like to talk. She just silently handed over a cup of hot tea.
Ning Yuwan shook her head. “It's okay.”
It was written in the storybook that if someone sneezed three times in a row, either someone was missing them behind their back or someone was gossiping about them.
Could it be that Ning Yuqin was gossiping?
But Ning Yuqin, whom Ning Yuwan was thinking about, had no time to gossip at this moment.
Because she was in trouble herself!
After a night, Ning Yuwan woke up naturally, but Ning Yuqin was woken up by the man on top of her.
“Miss, are you awake?”
Tang Sanjin was excitedly thrusting. By now, it was already broad daylight, and the light penetrated into the room. Naturally, he could see the appearance of the woman under him clearly.
Ning Yuqin once asked Hong Ye to secretly give Tang Sanjin a portrait of Ning Yuwan, so he was suspicious in his heart at this moment. “She's different from the portrait.”
The effects of the medicine had faded. Although Ning Yuqin was sore all over, her mind was clear.
Seeing that the man was still moving on top of her, she mercilessly slapped him. “Scoundrel! Get off me quickly!”
How could Tang Sanjin be willing to withdraw? He just dodged a little. “Miss is so heartless. We've spent a wonderful night together! How could you bear to?”
“I'm not that bitch Ning Yuwan. I'm Ning Yuqin, the second miss of the Yongning Marquis Mansion!”
“No matter whether you're the first miss or the second miss, since you've given yourself to me, I'm the son - in - law of the Yongning Marquis Mansion!”
In fact, Tang Sanjin already believed that she was the second miss, but he didn't lose out in any way. He squinted happily.
Ning Yuqin tightly grabbed the bedsheet. Unexpectedly, Tang Sanjin grabbed her arm and put it above her head. “Just enjoy it, wife. Husband will satisfy you well!”
Disgusting thing!
Ning Yuqin hid her anger and smiled. “Good brother, let go of my hand. Sister will satisfy you actively!”
Tang Sanjin happily let go, but he didn't expect that the next second, a wooden pillow came flying and hit him hard on the head.
“Low - class thing! How dare you call yourself my husband!”
Once wasn't enough. Ning Yuqin smashed him two more times. Seeing that Tang Sanjin fainted and blood was flowing from his forehead, she kicked him away and got up.
She tidied herself up and just happened to meet Hong Ye who came to look for her when she left the side courtyard.
“Lock him up in the secret room!”
Hong Ye woke up earlier than Ning Yuqin. She heard that Yan Zhao personally welcomed the first miss.
But seeing the red marks on Ning Yuqin's neck, as a maid, how could she not understand what had happened?
“Miss, could it be that the first miss set us up?”
Ning Yuqin couldn't figure it out either, but Ning Yuwan's personality on her wedding day was completely different from usual. It was very possible that she had been pretending to be stupid and silly on weekdays just to harm her yesterday.
Ning Yuwan had played a really ruthless and bold game of chess!
At this moment, Ning Yuqin naturally couldn't guess that Ning Yuwan had a new soul. She was immersed in hatred. “If it's really her, I'll make her beg for death but can't even die!”
