Chapter 43 The Appreciation Comes from the Honored Consort Ya (1/2)

”Our Young Lady is the Fifth Young Lady of Lord Protector's Manor. She's coming here to meet Madam Dowager.” Qingyu stepped forward, raised her head and answered. During this period of time, Qingyu had been trained to be no longer as timid as before. She was neither humble nor arrogant when she answered the eunuchs.

Someone came in to ask for permission. After a while, an older female servant came out and nodded while looking at Ning Xueyan who was blocked outside. Then the eunuch raised his hand and let go.

Qingyu was left in the corridor and Ning Xueyan went into alone. Although she didn't look up, she had seen everything in the room as soon as she came in. In the spacious room, a beautiful woman in a piece of clothing embroidered phoenix was sitting at the top seat. She had an oval face and her eyebrows were slender, showing her gentleness while speaking and smiling.

It was hard to believe that such a pure and gentle woman was the favored Honored Consort Ya.

The Third Prince sat on her left hand while Madam Dowager was sitting on her right hand. Ning Yuling, who was supposed to be punished in the courtyard now was standing next to Madam Dowager with a charming and shy look. When Ning Xueyan came in, Ning Yuling looked at her with maliciousness but did nothing.

Sure enough, the Honored Consort Ya was here. She came to Madam Dowager's courtyard at this time, which showed that she had a good personal relationship with Madam Dowager.

”You're the Fifth Young Lady of the Lord Protector's Manor? How old are you?” The Honored Consort Ya scrutinized Ning Xueyan for a while. Ning Xueyan looked pale at first glance, which gave people a feeling that she was not in good health. But when people looked at her carefully again, they would found her delicate face was really beautiful. Just because of her light lips, she looked less eye-catching.

But the more you looked at her, the more beautiful you felt she was. She was a young beauty.

”Her Royal Highness, I am the Fifth Young Lady of Lord Protector's Manor. I'm fourteen years old.” Ning Xueyan went forward and saluted respectfully, then stood on the side and answered.

She was natural and graceful and didn't show any surprise, panic or joy when she saw Honored Consort Ya.

Seeing Ning Xueyan behaved well, the Third Prince praised her in mind and his look became more gentle. He gave a look to Ning Xueyan with an unconscious smile. Ning Yuling, who stood opposite him, saw his smile clearly. Immediately, she became angry and almost tore her handkerchief into pieces.

”You're a clever child. But I found that you're not in good health. Have you ever gone to the doctor?” The Honored Consort Ya looked at her with a smile and asked, seemingly in a casual way.

”Mother, the imperial physician had seen Fifth Young Lady before, saying that there was nothing serious. Because of the neglect of nursing, she always falls ill.” The Third Prince answered first. When they were in the back mountain, Ning Yuling didn't hit Ning Xueyan but hit Lanning. After checking Lanning, the imperial physician was asked by the Third Prince to see Ning Xueyan's complexion.

Originally, the Third Prince wanted the imperial physician to feel the pulse for Ning Xueyan. But Ning Xueyan didn't want to be close to the Third Prince, so the imperial physician only saw her complexion.

His word made Madam Dowager uncomfortable. A Young Lady of the Lord Protector's Manor always fell ill because of the neglect of nursing. Did it make sense? It clearly meant that the Lord Protector's Manor slighted Ning Xueyan. But it was the Third Prince who said that, so Madam Dowager couldn't refute even though she wanted to.

”Not just because of that. I just lost my mother. I missed her very much day and night. So I'm weak now.” Ning Xueyan raised her head and explained in a soft voice. Her expression was gentle and the voice was clear. She ascribed her illness to her missing of mother in a few words.

Madam Dowager, sitting at one side, could not help smiling and satisfactorily looked at Ning Xueyan.

”The Fifth Young Lady is really filial. Madam Ming is dead, and she doesn't want to see her only daughter fall ill because of her. You should be happier in the future and take care of yourself.” Listening to Ning Xueyan's word, Honored Consort Ya soothed her with a smile. She waved to her with a kind look. ”Come here, let me see, how come you are so weak!”

Hearing that, Ning Xueyan gently and obediently raised her head and stepped up to Honored Consort Ya, behaving appropriately. There was nothing wrong with her. It really made people feel that she was a true Young Lady of a noble family. Compared with the Second Young Lady of Lord Protector's Manor who flattered Honored Consort Ya as soon as she met the Honored Consort Ya, Ning Xueyan was much better and more graceful.

”You're really beautiful, looking like a fairy from the painting.” The Honored Consort Ya took Ning Xueyan's hand and praised her with a gentle gaze.

Ning Xueyan was slightly uncomfortable, but she couldn't pull her hand out of the Honored Consort Ya's hands. She looked up and looked into the Third Prince's eyes.

The Third Prince was scrutinizing Ning Xueyan. She was still in plain clothes. She couldn't be too plain because she came here to see Honored Consort Ya. So she wore light white clothes embroidered a few light pink flowers on the edge of her skirt. It made her look more elegant.

Such a woman was not only beautiful but also indifferent. With her slightly childish face, her temperament was quite attracted and it was difficult for people to remove their gaze from her delicate face.

”Many thanks for your love.” Ning Xueyan lowered her head to avoid the deep gaze of the Third Prince.
