Hey everyone. I feel like I've exhausted the novels with this, so I decided to make this post. I tend to enjoy historical setting/court intrigue.

The first two are closer to what you are looking for.

 

Descent of the Phoenix – 13 Years Old Princess Consort

 

Umm the demonic king chases after the good for nothing 4th miss,wife is outrageous,

 

Thanks for the quick replies
@rpgbscout & palaraya: How different is the DOP novel compared to the manga?
@rpgbscout: Akuyaku was on my to read. Dragon's Bloodline sounds interesting, but how much yuri is in there?
@Gentlemens laugh: The first title was on my list. I've added the second.
@Parth37955: Unfortunately, I've looked at those links before. That being said, there was a new post on the first thread, and Demon Wang's Golden Favorite Fei seems interesting. Hopefully translations are consistent.

 

I personally like the novel of DOP more than the manga, It has been awhile since I've read either but from what I remembered, I liked the way the female lead was portrayed in the novel more so than in the manga

 

I have not read the manga so I can't fill you in with the differences. The novel chapters are very short (like 1/2 of other novels).

The MC for Dragon's Blood was originally male then reincarnated as female. MC accepted being female, except all romantic interest are female with no exceptions, so yuri yes. One of the latest chapters, MC basically forced one of her companions (whom was extremely straight) to have sex with her.
