Shen Ningning blinked her big eyes and said, "When the imperial guards brought us over just now, the carriage specially bypassed the road to the East Fourth Palace, and I saw a bridge over there."

“So, I think we have to go around and get on the bridge.”

The ladies looked at each other and frowned in memory.

 Is there a bridge just now?

They didn’t pay attention because they were just enjoying the beautiful scenery of the palace.

Besides, it’s so cold outside, who would often lift the curtain to look outside.

Ye Changyi took the initiative to stand up and said coldly: "Then just walk over by yourself."

“I’m going to find a palace man to row the boat for me. Otherwise, it’s too far and too cold to go around from here to the other side of the bridge!”

Shen Ningning didn't care and blinked her big eyes: "Okay, I'll walk there by myself. Who else wants to come with me?"

After the little guy asked in a waxy voice, the ladies hesitated.

Ye Changyi said directly: "If you are willing to follow me to find the **** in charge, follow me now."

 After she finished speaking, Xie Yuanjiu stood next to her.

"Ning Ning, I don't remember if there was a bridge on the way here, so I'd better go with you to find the **** in charge." Xie Yuanjiu said to the little guy.

 Shen Ningning has no objection.

 Ye Changyi usually has a wide network of contacts in the circle of noble ladies, and there are also many ladies who are willing to follow her.

 Therefore, twelve of the nineteen people besides her were willing to follow her.

The remaining people believed there was a bridge and were willing to follow Shen Ningning.

So the two groups of people separated by the lake, one on the left and the other on the right, and went their separate ways.

Mo Lingwei stood on the high platform in the distance and saw it, his eyes following the pink and white figure.

His thin lips twitched and sneered: "Don't these idiots know how to follow Shen Ningning?"

Don’t they know that the little guy has been invited to the palace more times than all of them put together?

Chen Shaobei beside him smiled: "Your Highness, if I were you, I would start to worry."

  “Why?”

“The Princess has performed so well that Concubine Rong must have chosen her to be His Highness the Ninth Prince’s escort.”

"Wishful thinking." Mo Lingwei coldly put down these four words, and then walked off the star-catching platform.

Shen Ningning took six people with her, just like on an outing. She stood in the front and waved her little hands.

“Be careful, don’t step on the icy ground, or you may fall into the lake.”

The ladies listened to her words, held hands with each other, talked and laughed.

The atmosphere that was not familiar enough at first suddenly became lively.

 An eight or nine-year-old girl in a blue dress walked up to Shen Ningning.

She was delicate and fair, and whispered to Shen Ningning: "You are the right one, Ye Changyi and the others made the wrong choice."

"Huh? Are you so sure I chose the right path?" the little guy asked with a smile.

The girl in the blue skirt smiled and was extremely shy: "My aunt is Concubine Rong. I have visited the palace several times and passed by here."

Shen Ningning was surprised: "So you are from the Qi family?"

The girl in the blue skirt nodded: "My name is Qi Xiuwei."

 She is one of the five specially invited ladies.

Shen Ningning was very excited and warmed up, and asked her about her godmother's thoughts.

Unexpectedly, Qi Xiuwei looked a little panicked when she heard Shen Siyi's name.

“I don’t know, she had been married for a long time when I was born,” Qi Xiuwei said.

She carefully looked at Shen Ningning's face and said, "Princess Princess, I advise you not to inquire in the future."

“Listen to my mother, because my grandmother doesn’t get along with your godmother and wants to drive her out.”

"However, Prime Minister Xie quickly picked up your godmother. Since then, the two families have cut off all contact with each other. Your godmother's name is taboo at home, and they won't let me mention it!"

Shen Ningning blinked her big eyes and listened, feeling a little at a loss.

 She has no way of knowing what happened in the past. He was just a little apologetic and said, "Sorry, I won't ask next time!"

Qi Xiuwei turned around and smiled generously: "You don't know what this is about. It's okay. Just call me Xiaowei!"

 While they were chatting and laughing, they had already reached the other side of the lake.

The lady behind her happily pointed ahead: "Look, there is indeed a bridge."

The misty clouds on the lake are like fairy silk, gently swaying back and forth on the water.

Shen Ningning walked to the bridge and immediately turned around to remind the people behind her: "This bridge is too slippery. We still line up in a long line, holding on to each other's clothes and walking forward little by little!"

 Everyone echoed and expressed their agreement.

 Wait until Shen Ningning and the others crossed the long bridge and arrived at Shuixiehuawu.

Three aunts, serious in speech, and ten little maids with their heads lowered, were already waiting at the gate of Huawu.

There was a table beside them, and in the incense altar on the table, a stick of incense had just been half-burned.

When they saw Shen Ningning and the others appearing, the three aunts nodded calmly.

“Thank you for your hard work, ladies. There is hot **** tea over there. Drink some to keep away the cold.”

“After that, the palace maid will take you to the thermal pavilion next to you to take shelter from the wind, and we will wait for the remaining ladies to arrive together.”

 However, the time for burning the incense burned out, and Xie Yuanjiu and the others were not seen.

There was no other way. The eldest aunt would not wait any longer, but sent two little maids to guide them.

 Another time of burning incense passed before their figures hurriedly arrived.

Because she was walking too hastily, a lady slipped and fell when she was getting on the bridge.

She walked up to her aunt in tears and said, "Hurry up and call the doctor for me. My arms are all cut."

The eldest aunt took one look at her injuries, pursed her lips and said seriously: "Miss Gao, you can go home."

The lady was stunned: "What? Did you make a mistake? I was injured, but I didn't make a mistake. Why do you drive me out of the palace?"

The eldest aunt faced everyone with a sharp and majestic tone.

“Although it is very honorable for a female officer to accompany you, you must be careful because you are serving His Highness the Prince.”

"If you are impatient and can't even take care of yourself, let alone doing things around His Highness? Therefore, you no longer meet our requirements for female officials."

Shen Ningning blinked her big eyes and watched the young lady named Gao being taken away in tears.

 Ye Changyi and Xie Yuanjiu had different expressions. They had just gone to find the **** in charge, but they did not expect that the **** ignored their request.

 They also said they were being unreasonable!

 A lady quarreled with the **** because of this, and at this moment, she was forcefully sent away by her eldest aunt.

“Misses, you are not the master of the palace now, and you have not yet become a female official. Therefore, the palace servants are not your maids and slaves, and they will not obey your orders and arrangements.”

"Today, a dozen of you are late because you are not ready yet. This servant must make a serious statement. When you get here, before you have a grade, you have to rely on yourself for everything, not any palace servant."

Ye Changyi and the others were reprimanded. No matter how ugly their faces were or how dissatisfied they felt, they could only accept it.

 Because they all have one purpose, they want to become the prince's maids.

Only Shen Ningning felt a little sleepy and rubbed her eyes.

  She got up too early in the morning and she didn't wake up at all.

At this time, the eldest aunt said: "The ladies who came first can choose the houses to live in first."

“The house is for one person and one person. It is warm on the south side and slightly cold on the north side by the water.” The eldest aunt told everyone the best location of the house.

 But there are only five rooms in the south. Those who choose later will have to go to the north room to get cold!

Shen Ningning stepped on her little feet and was about to walk over to look at the room.

Sudden! Xie Yuanjiu called her: "Sister Ningning, wait."

The eldest aunt looked towards her and saw Xie Yuanjiu coming out of the queue, with worry on her face.

She asked softly: "Ning Ning is my sister. She is too young and there is no palace attendant here."

“I don’t think she can have a house of her own, aunt. Can I live with her?”

I have been experiencing pain from my wisdom teeth for a week recently. I couldn't bear to go to the dentist today. Unexpectedly, while I was lying there, the dentist said: It's a rotten hole and it needs to be pulled out. So I had my teeth extracted... I feel so uncomfortable. One less chapter today. I will take a good rest. Thank you for your understanding.
