Ye Changyi was in disbelief when he heard this.
It doesn't matter that she is arrogant at ordinary times, the ladies here are not as good as her family background.
But the person who is reprimanding her now is the crown prince of Cangyun Kingdom!
Ye Changyi felt that her face was dull and earth-colored, and she was embarrassed.
She glanced at Shen Ningning resentfully: "I, I..."
Ye Changyi finally couldn't bear the public humiliation, and ran away crying while covering her face.
The eldest aunt winked and motioned for a young palace maid to follow her and watch to avoid any problems.
"Did everyone hear what His Highness the Crown Prince said? The selection of female officers is absolutely fair. We all have the same starting point. There is no difference, and there is no preferential treatment."
In front of Mo Lingwei, the eldest aunt solemnly stated.
Then, she walked up to Mo Lingwei respectfully: "His Royal Highness is here to pick up the princess, right? It just so happens that there will be no classes scheduled for later."
Unexpectedly, Mo Lingwei's dark eyes swept over the bewildered little boy over there. Guy.
"I'm just here to take a look, I'm leaving now." He said, withdrew his gaze, turned around and left with the others.
Shen Ningning was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward with her little feet and was about to catch up.
Unexpectedly, an exclamation came from behind, and Qi Xiuwei was so frightened that she shouted: "Miss Xie fainted!"
Shen Ningning looked back and saw that Xie Yuanjiu had indeed fallen to the ground with a pale face.
Everyone gathered around, and the eldest aunt hurriedly asked the little palace maid to take the token and ask for the imperial doctor.
Shen Ningning looked at Mo Lingwei's figure that had gone away in a sedan. She could only grit her teeth and think about explaining to him when she saw him in the evening.
Then, the little guy ran to Xie Yuanjiu to help.
When the eldest aunt met Xie Yuanjiu, she realized how hot she was.
After the imperial doctor came, he prescribed medicine and said that Xie Yuanjiu was infected with typhoid fever. It took a day or two before it became serious.
The eldest aunt glanced at the sleeping Xie Yuanjiu calmly.
She left a little palace maid to take care of her.
at dusk.
Xie Yuanjiu finally woke up, and there was only a little palace maid boiling medicine in the room.
She sat up holding her head with a splitting headache, and the first thing she asked was: "Auntie didn't say that she wanted to drive me away, right?"
The little palace maid raised her head and said, "Miss Xie, you're awake. Auntie didn't say that you are going to drive me away now ?" Don't think about selecting female officials, your health is important."
"The imperial doctors said that your illness comes quickly, so you should take good care of it."
Xie Yuanjiu pursed her lips, and her eyes were serious.
She immediately demanded: "I want to see my eldest aunt."
The little palace maid couldn't resist her, and after a while, her eldest aunt came after hearing the news.
Xie Yuanjiu found an excuse to send the little palace maid away.
Upon seeing this, the eldest aunt looked calm in her eyes: "Miss Xie should have a good rest now. I will contact your family tomorrow to take you out of the palace."
Xie Yuanjiu leaned on the bed, with a look of haggardness on her face.
But those eyes looked dark because of calculation.
"Auntie, I came to you to tell you about my illness."
"I know that according to palace rules, a lady who is sick cannot be selected as a female official, but auntie cannot send me away.
" She condensed her expression: "Since Miss Xie knows the requirements of the palace regulations, even if I promise not to send you away, it doesn't matter what I say, only what the palace rules say."
Xie Yuanjiu smiled: "But aunt, if it were before, You do have to obey the palace rules."
"But I am different now. Concubine Rong specially spoke to me today. How do I know that I am not interested in being a female official?"
The eldest aunt was shocked and subconsciously twisted. Wrinkled eyebrows.
She looked at Xie Yuanjiu. This lady who usually seemed quiet, reserved and well-behaved could actually say such arrogant words.
Xie Yuanjiu said in a calm tone: "Ning Ning is close to the prince, and she will definitely not be the female official of His Highness Ninth Prince."
"Miss Ye offended the prince today. I think the news will soon reach the ears of Concubine Rong, so she also lost her Chance." "Among the many ladies at the moment, only Miss Qi and I are favored by Concubine Rong."
"If I drive me out of the palace, what if I guess wrong about Concubine Rong?"
The eldest aunt was silent for a long time. , and then spoke again: "Miss Xie, I don't want to say something too straightforward, so as not to disappoint you."
"But apart from Princess Funing and Miss Ye you just mentioned, there are many outstanding ladies. "
The selection of female officers is based on overall performance. You have not answered correctly in every assessment before. Concubine Rong will not know it."
Xie Yuanjiu took out a bag of things from under the pillow and held it in his hand.
She smiled lightly and said, "Auntie, I don't need to worry about this. What you have to do is not to rush me out of the palace by force."
As she said that, she handed over the heavy purse.
Xie Yuanjiu's eyes were gloomy: "Auntie only needs to tell the outside world that my condition requires rest and it is not suitable to move, so I can't leave the palace for the time being."
"Is this not difficult for the aunt? I believe that Concubine Rong will not be here At this time, I ask you to send me away by force."
The eldest aunt pursed her lips tightly, lowered her eyebrows for a moment, and then said: "Okay, as the lady said, I hope you can do it."
A trace of pride flashed in Xie Yuanjiu's eyes, She handed her purse forward again.
"Auntie, can you take it? I've worked hard for you these days."
"Thank you for your kindness, miss. I can't bear it." After that, the eldest aunt was blessed and left.
Shen Ningning has been sitting at the door of Shuixie Huawu.
She held the heater in her little hands, and her dark eyes were always looking at the door of the yard.
The eldest aunt came out of the north room and saw the lonely figure of the little man.
"Princess? Who are you waiting for?" The eldest aunt stepped forward and asked.
Shen Ningning raised her pink face and said in a soft voice: "Auntie, I'm waiting to see when brother Wu Fang will come."
The little guy was thinking about what if Mo Lingwei asked her to accompany him to eat again.
She has to wait here, Wu Fang can see her as soon as he comes in.
Shen Ningning stood up and asked again: "By the way, is Sister Xie feeling better?"
The eldest aunt's eyes darkened: "Princess, you and Miss Xie live in the same room, did you know that she was sick?"
Shen Ningning was stunned, lowered her head, and twisted her clothes with her little hands, looking very guilty.
"Yes..." she replied Nuonuo: "I'm sorry aunt, I should tell you, but Sister Xie begged me not to say it."
"She has been preparing for the selection of female officers for a long time, so I think she should be given one If there was a chance, I didn't report it."
The eldest aunt felt slightly cold when she heard this.
I'm afraid Princess Funing hasn't figured out what kind of person Miss Xie is!
The eldest aunt shook her head: "The princess doesn't need to apologize to the slave. After all, Miss Xie's family is also a blessing in disguise."
"Next, I wish her what she wants will come true." After the aunt finished speaking, she retired.
Shen Ningning was confused when she heard this.
A blessing in disguise? How can being sick be a good thing?
The little guy sat down in confusion and waited for another hour.
It was getting dark and it was time to go to bed, but Mo Lingwei didn't send anyone.
Without being summoned by the prince, she could not leave Shuixiehuawu casually due to her status.
So, Shen Ningning walked back and forth on the corridor with her little feet.
Everyone went to sleep.
Just now, the little maids came to urge Shen Ningning to go back to her room.
However, the little guy still wants to wait.
Until a pair of hands gently patted her shoulder from behind.
