The Devious First Daughter

Chapter 75. The Blood Jade bracelet

Once they entered the palace, they had to learn the rules and etiquette of the palace. Although all of them had studied it in their manors before, it was still not enough, according to the imperial palace's standards. Therefore, all of them were supplied with maids who specialized in palace etiquette. They were required to be well drilled in all aspects of palace manners.

If there was something wrong, they would have to do it all over again. They were not cut any slack because of their noble status. At the end of a day, even Ning Qingshan's knees were sore, and her legs were numb. When the maid helped her back to her room, she could not stand it. Honored Consort Ya did not take care of Ning Qingshan in this aspect. It expressed that she made no exception for anyone.

"Third Sister." After walking a few steps, she saw Ning Xueyan being helped by a maid. Ning Xueyan looked pale and haggard. It was evident that she was not feeling good.

Seeing Ning Xueyan, Ning Qingshan let go of Caifen's hand and came over, as if she was worried about Ning Xueyan. "Fifth Sister, are you all right? Do you want to see an imperial physician? Don't get sick at this time. I can't bear this responsibility in place of grandmother and father."

"Third Sister, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired." Ning Xueyan sat down on a stone bench and said softly to Ning Qingshan.

"You're not in good health all the time. Don't carry on if you're not all right. Let's talk to Honored Consort Ya. Maybe she will reduce the intensity of your paces if she knows you're weak." Ning Qingshan sat down on the stone bench with a sincere and kind look on her face.

"No, thanks. I heard that things will be better tomorrow. So, I won't bother you anymore." Ning Xueyan shook her head and held her forehead with one hand. She looked sleepy. She did not know anything before, even if she had been practicing hard in the manor, but it was still not enough. It was inevitable that a Mammy would scold her.

At the thought of this, Ning Qingshan was quite happy.

Tomorrow, Ning Xueyan, do you think you will be free tomorrow? Unfortunately, you will have a hard time tomorrow. She would deliberately create problems for Ning Xueyan, so she did not believe that she would not make a fool of herself.

"Since you don't need the physician, you'd better go back and have a good rest. Don't get too tired. There are other things to be done tomorrow." Ning Qingshan pretended to be a good, elder sister at this time. All the young ladies who passed by, looked confused. The relationship between the two Young Ladies of the Lord Protector's Manor was terribly strange.

"Third Sister, I'll go back now!" Ning Xueyan nodded and gave a forced smile. She seemed not to be in good spirits. Lanning carefully held her arm, and she stood up. Then, she leaned against Lanning and walked into her room.

Ning Xueyan's room was a little far, but Ning Qingshan's room was in the first row, so it was convenient for her to go in and out. The last one was not popular among the ladies, because of the long distance. They all lived in the front, so the rooms in the first two rows were occupied. In the last row, there were only a few people, and several rooms were empty.

Several people, who had been assigned to the last row, asked to be moved to the front, by all means. Ning Xueyan always liked peace and quiet, so she did not care about it.

After turning two corners and knowing that Ning Qingshan had already disappeared, Ning Xueyan stood up straight and walked in slowly. She was not tired at all after the training. Ning Xueyan had not learned anything, but Ning Ziying knew everything. Moreover, under her mother's strict requirements, she was thoroughly accomplished.

Even the stewardess who tried to find something wrong, could not find fault with her. She let her practice by herself and did not exert any control over her. She deliberately showed signs of fatigue, when she saw Ning Qingshan, because she did not want Ning Qingshan to suspect anything. But now, it seemed that Ning Qingshan was suspicious.
