Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year

Chapter 232 I am the same as it and will protect you

The eldest aunt called all the ladies to gather at Xiayun Tower.

 Subsequently, he asked the palace maid to give each of them a booklet of palace rules for female officials.

It was not too thin. Shen Ningning flipped through it roughly, and there were more than fifty pages in total.

The eldest aunt looked at the ladies majestically: "You ladies only have one afternoon to get familiar with these palace rules."

"In the evening, the slaves will come to inspect. If there is no young lady who successfully passes the test, she will be exempted from the meal tonight."

As soon as these words came out, Ye Changyi immediately expressed dissatisfaction.

 “What? This is too harsh.”

But the eldest aunt turned to her and said in a stern tone: "This is just the beginning, Miss Ye can't stand it anymore?"

“You know, if you want to become a female official, you need to be outstanding in everything. If you don’t work hard, why will you stand out?”

 One sentence made Ye Changyi mute. She folded her arms angrily, opened the book and began to memorize by rote.

The eldest aunt left after giving the explanation, leaving only four maids behind to add tea and water.

 Shen Ningning is already endorsing it.

 The whispers of other ladies came to my ears——

“There are only fifteen of us now, but I think the assessments are getting stricter and stricter, and in the end, there may not be even one left.”

 “This is not about selecting female officials, it’s more like selecting a prince’s concubine!”

“Hey, it’s not easy at all. If I had known I wouldn’t come, I thought I would be very grand. Who would have thought that I would suffer so many grievances when I came in.”

Everyone complained, but Shen Ningning and Qi Xiuwei kept their heads down and kept reading.

 Xie Yuanjiu and Ye Shangyi sat close by.

Ye Changyi touched Xie Yuanjiu with her elbow and whispered: "Believe it or not, Princess Funing will definitely be selected in the end."

Xie Yuanjiu’s fingertips holding the book tightened and turned slightly white.

There was no change in her tone, but she smiled calmly: "No, Ning Ning will be the ninth prince's companion, the prince will not agree, right?"

 Ye Changyina glanced up and down at her with surprised eyes.

 “Don’t you know? The prince has had a quarrel with Princess Funing. I’m not sure whether he will care about it or not.”

“Don’t think that with Princess Funing and her family, you don’t need to regard her as your opponent. In fact, she is the one you should be wary of the most.”

Just as the eldest aunt passed by the door, the two of them lowered their heads in a hurry and stopped talking.

 The afternoon passed quickly.

 When the eldest aunt came to inspect, several ladies had earthy faces.

With more than fifty pages of rules, being a female official was actually more difficult than they imagined.

　　The head of everyone who looks at it is getting bigger.

The palace maid painted everyone with paper, pen and ink.

The eldest aunt said: "I will read the questions. There are ten questions in total. Please write down the answers on the paper."

 “The first question is, when is the latest time for the female official to return to the prince’s palace?”

This question made many people gasp.

Auntie’s way of setting questions is tricky, it all depends on whether they have memorized it carefully.

 After a while, when all ten questions were asked, the maid collected the answer sheets one by one.

 Two ladies stood up weakly before the results came out.

“Auntie, can we quit?” Being a female official is not as easy as they imagined.

Auntie has been mentally prepared for a long time and is used to it.

So he nodded and said coldly: "You guys wait here. When I finish the inspection, I will return your jade certificate and notify your family. You can leave early tomorrow morning."

 After that, the eldest aunt began to check everyone’s answer sheet.

Finally, she raised her head and announced: "There are only two people who answered correctly, Princess Funing, and Miss Qi." Shen Ningning and Qi Xiuwei looked at each other, and both of them smiled happily.

There were also ten ladies who made a few mistakes, which were within the tolerance of my eldest aunt.

 Among them was Ye Changyi. She had clearly recited it carefully, but she still made two mistakes.

 Finally, there is not a single question that was answered correctly.

When Xie Yuanjiu's name was read out from her eldest aunt's mouth, everyone was surprised.

 Because, Xie Yuanjiu’s knowledge is not bad at ordinary times.

In the past, she was known as a little talented girl. She could just memorize a few palace rules, and everyone could do it. Why didn’t she get any of the questions right?

Xie Yuanjiu's face was pale and she looked like she was deeply shocked.

She felt very hot and uncomfortable. Just now when her aunt was talking about the topic, she couldn't control herself and got distracted!

Moreover, she was the only one who couldn’t get a single question right!

 The eldest aunt closed the book and said sternly: "Miss Xie, you can go back to your room directly."

“Your meal will be spared tonight. Please take the palace regulations back home and study them carefully. Don’t be perfunctory.”

“I would like to remind you that being a female official is not as easy as you think.”

　　Xie Yuanjiu did not dare to talk back after being reprimanded. She lowered her head and looked embarrassed.

The eldest aunt asked everyone to go back to the room to rest. After burning incense, they went to the dining room to eat.

 Shen Ningning and Xie Yuanjiu returned to the house, and Xie Yuanjiu suddenly cried.

“Ning Ning, can you help me?”

 The little guy drank a cup of hot tea and hurriedly walked over and asked: "Okay, what do you want me to do for you?"

Xie Yuanjiu wiped away her tears: "Can you...can you eat less of your meal tonight and bring some back to me?"

 Begging for food is simply humiliating to Xie Yuanjiu!

 However, she knew she was sick, and she couldn't stop eating, otherwise, her condition would get worse.

Shen Ningning blinked after hearing the words.

Her original plan was to give Xie Yuanjiu some delicious food from the fairyland, and then she would just tell her that her brother Mo Lingwei gave it to her.

 However, it is more convenient to thank Yuanjiu for his idea.

Shen Ningning was interested in helping her, so she nodded: "Okay, no problem. If you don't want to eat mine, I'll give it to you."

Xie Yuanjiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled softly with tears in her eyes: "You are so kind."

 However, she felt in her heart that Shen Ningning should not eat.

 After all, it was Shen Ningning who chose Beiwu that made her fall ill.

She has no sympathy for the little guy who has no food at all. She just feels that the compensation given by Shen Ningning is not enough.

 At meal time, the little guy took off his white rabbit velvet scarf because he was a little hot.

She said: "Sister Xie, just lie down and I will bring you the food later."

Xie Yuanjiu nodded weakly, but did not forget to tell her: "Don't tell eldest aunt."

Shen Ningning responded, and her little figure flew out of the door like a cute bird.

As soon as I walked to the dining hall, I saw the eldest aunt at the door talking to Wu Fang, the guard next to the prince.

When Wu Fang saw Shen Ningning, he suddenly showed a cheerful smile: "Princess, you are finally here. Your Highness the Crown Prince has given an order for you to be picked up by a humble official to take you to Zichen Palace."

"Huh?" The little guy was slightly surprised and subconsciously looked at his aunt.

The eldest aunt, who was usually stern and unsmiling, gave her a rare smile and nodded gently.

"Princess, please go. Guard Wu has already greeted the servants, but please be sure to come back before Xu Shi."

Shen Ningning hesitated, wondering what to do if she thanked Yuanjiu for her meal.

Wu Fang walked forward with a smile and urged: "Princess, let's leave quickly. His Highness the Crown Prince will be impatient for a while, but he will come to scold people in person."

 The little guy was half pushed away.
