Chapter 237 Thank you for showing your true face
Ye Changyi couldn't believe it when he heard the words.

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 being humiliated in public, so she covered her face and ran away crying.

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. Everyone has 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 respectfully walked up to Mo Lingwei and said, "His Royal Highness is here to pick up the princess, right? It just so happens that there will be no classes scheduled later."

Unexpectedly, Mo Lingwei's dark gaze swept across the helpless little guy over there.

"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, a cry of surprise 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 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 she wanted to drive me away, did she?"

The little palace maid raised her head and said: "Miss Xie, you are awake. My aunt didn't say anything. Don't think about selecting female officials now. Your health is important."

"The imperial doctors all say that your illness comes quickly, so you should take good care of yourself."

Xie Yuanjiu pursed her lips and looked serious in her eyes.

She immediately demanded: "I want to see my eldest aunt."

The little palace maid couldn't resist her, and after a while, the 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 haggard look on his 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 sick lady cannot be selected as a female official, but my aunt cannot send me away."

The eldest aunt condensed her expression: "Since Miss Xie knows the requirements of the palace regulations, even if I agree not to send you away, it doesn't matter what I said, it only matters what the palace regulations say."

Xie Yuanjiu smiled: "But aunt, if it were before, you would indeed have to obey the palace rules."

"But I'm different now. Concubine Rong specifically spoke to me today. How do I know that Concubine Rong doesn't want me to be a female official?"

The eldest aunt was shocked and subconsciously frowned.

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, so she will definitely not be the female officer 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 the opportunity." "Looking at the many ladies at the moment, only Miss Qi and I were affected by Concubine Rong. The queen’s favor.”

"If my aunt drives me out of the palace, what should I do if I guess the queen's feelings wrongly?"

The eldest aunt was silent for a long time before speaking again: "Miss Xie, there are some things I don't want to say too directly, so as not to disappoint you."

"But in addition to Princess Funing and Miss Ye you just mentioned, there are many outstanding ladies among the ladies."

"The selection of female officers is based on overall performance. You have not answered correctly in every previous assessment. Concubine Rong will not know it."

Xie Yuanjiu took out a package of things from under the pillow and held it in his hand.

She smiled lightly and said: "Auntie doesn't need to worry about this. What you have to do is not to rush me out of the palace by force."

As she spoke, she handed over the heavy purse.

Xie Yuanjiu's eyes were dark: "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."

"This is not difficult for my aunt, right? I believe that Concubine Rong will not let you force me away at this time."

The eldest aunt pursed her lips tightly, lowered her eyebrows for a moment, and then said: "Okay, then just as the lady said, I hope you can get your wish."

A trace of pride flashed in Xie Yuanjiu's eyes, and she handed her purse forward again.

"Auntie, can you take it? You have worked hard these days."

"Thank you for your kindness, miss. I can't bear this." After saying that, the eldest aunt retired 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 come over and have dinner with him 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 female officer selection for a long time, so I thought she should be given a chance, so I didn't report it."

The eldest aunt felt a little cold in her heart as she listened.

I'm afraid Princess Funing hasn't figured out what kind of person Miss Xie is!
The eldest aunt shook her head: "The princess does not need to apologize to the slave. After all, Miss Xie's family is also a blessing in disguise."

"Next, let's hope that what she wants comes true." After the aunt finished speaking, she left.

Shen Ningning was confused.

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 fell asleep.

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.
