107 Tea Time IV Yang Ning giggled awkwardly at Xiaowei’s question. Right. There is no woman archer in this world, she forgot about it for a moment. She clasped her hands together to think of a response to her question and said, ” Of course, there can be. Who said that women cannot be knights?” ” Didn’t I save you last time by using the bow and the arrow? Am I not a woman?” She asked. “Erm....You’re right about that too. You did save me.” Xiaowei nodded as her words sounded…-

106 Tea Time III Zheng Liang was baffled when the voices coming from the hallway sounded like Lady Yang Ning. However, how can she be at the Dragon Pavilion? There is no reason for her to be at the palace when he is locked inside his chamber. ‘Am I hallucinating?’ He wondered if he was hearing things wrong and doubted himself for being too obsessed with her. “Zheng Liang, come to your senses. You’re the Crown Prince of the Empire. Are you going to lose your mind over a woman?” He even…

105 Tea Time II “Lady Yang Ning, are you sure about it? Gu Lan asked worriedly as he directed Yang Ning to the hall in front of the chamber of Zheng Liang. Yang Ning pursed her lips when she saw the closed door of Zheng Liang’s chamber and felt strange. The last time when she was here, she didn’t realize how beautiful this place was. However, today she is here again, and it doesn’t feel as beautiful as before because the real beauty of the palace is hidden. ‘Oops! That sounds so…

104 Tea Time I “Lady Yang Ning, how come you’re here?” Gu Lan hurriedly came outside the Dragon Pavilion to greet Yang Ning when he heard about her arrival. He looked at her and Xiaowei in puzzlement and wondered how did she manage to come inside without the guards stopping her at the main gate of the entrance? The last time she came to the Dragon Pavilion, it was because she came with Yu Ling who has permission to go in and out of the palace. However, Yang Ning doesn’t have permission…

103 Not breaking the rule. “Xiaowei, are you sure Lady Yu Ling is engaged in the kitchen? What if she comes back suddenly?” Yang Ning asked in a hushed voice when Xiaowei returned to the chamber after checking on Court Lady Yu Ling in the kitchen. Xiaowei shook her head and said, ” She won’t. She is overseeing the kitchen staff while they are preparing your meal. From the looks of it, she will be in the kitchen for a while.” She reported. Yang Ning understood her words and nodded while…

102 What could be the reason? -Yang Household- “Milady, Milady, did you hear the news?” Xiaowei came running and barged into the chamber of Yang Ning without knocking on the door. She was panting heavily and her face turned red from running so much. She was in so much urgency that she forgot to knock on the door before coming inside. She came to give the hottest gossip that she heard from the other maids to Yang Ning but halted when she saw Yu Ling in the room as well. “Milady....what…

101 Royal Court IV All the ministers sighed in relief after listening to the testimony of the man and were secretly smiling when the Emperor declared Zheng Liang would be locked in his chamber for a week as a punishment to go overboard with his responsibilities and attempt to frame others. Although it would have been better if he had given Zheng Liang a harsher punishment, it is still better than nothing. They were aware that Zheng Liang was not lying and was telling the truth, but they were still…

100 Royal Court III The royal court fell into a deep and uncomfortable silence after Zheng Liang completed his words. All the ministers were holding onto their breaths and were hoping that their names weren’t involved in this matter. Zheng Huang, the Emperor, pursed his lips as he fell into deep thought. This matter is not related to the illegal activities running at the brothel house anymore but has become a serious issue of corruption in the royal palace as the high-ranking officials are…

99 Royal Court II Yang Luoyang’s expression darkened to see the Emperor allowing Zheng Liang to speak. He glanced at Zheng Liang and wondered what it is that he wants to discuss in front of everyone. ” Your Majesty, pardon me for being rude. However, I believe that it wouldn’t be appropriate for His Highness to discuss that matter in the royal court in front of everyone. It wouldn’t be good for the reputation of the two families involved in this matter. There are also chances that people will…

98 Royal Court I After Yang Ning returned to Yang Household with Xiaowei, Gu Lan and Zheng Liang went to the royal court for the afternoon session. While going to the royal court, Zheng Liang sighed heavily as he remembered the way he was asking Yang Ning to stay back for lunch. He still cannot believe that to accompany Yang Ning, he even tried to skip the royal court session. He can skip the royal court session any day but today. Because today he needs to discuss something important with His…
