The host is cute and charming, who doesn’t love the charming wife?

"The next names I'll call out, please come to the front. Chun Nian, Xiao Hui, Yu Qin'er... and the last one, Ding Chu."

The early morning sunlight was not very strong. Ruolan stood in front of the crowd against the light with a familiar smile on her face.

"Starting tomorrow, all of you will report to the Imperial Tea House and the Study."

The Imperial Teahouse and the Study were the only two places where the palace maids could get close to the Emperor. Anyone with a bit of ambition would have already inquired about them before entering the palace.

Even if you don't have that ambition, as long as you can live a better life than you are now, only a fool would choose the former.

At first, no one reacted, but after seeing people standing up one by one, they gradually came to some conclusions.

Those whose names were called out were all outstanding in appearance and character.

Those who were not called out, in comparison, did not stand out so well in appearance.

But if you only look at their appearance, the most eye-catching one among this group of people is Ruan Miaomiao.

But why, I didn’t hear Ruan Miaomiao’s name until the end?

Among the crowd, some people have already secretly glanced at the person in the middle of the first row.

We all come from the same place and we are all human beings, so why do some people look better than others?

This doubt has existed in the mind of the palace maid in the same bedroom for a long time.

Some people who lived in the same room with Ruan Miaomiao would observe her intentionally or unintentionally every morning, but found that she didn't wipe anything at all. It could be said that she was lazy to the core.

I can only say that some people are born beautiful.

But this person, who is secretly regarded as the public enemy of the palace maids, has not yet been called out by name by Aunt Ruolan. Does this mean that in a sense, they are the same as her?

Ding Chu had a premonition that he would be chosen, and he felt very proud, especially when compared with someone else who was not chosen.

What’s the use of having beauty? In the palace, you can’t leave your head behind every step.

At critical moments, some calculations are still needed.

Starting from tomorrow, she and she are no longer on the same level, and their identities are beginning to change.

She thought this in her heart, but did not show it on her face.

If she had not adapted to the life in the palace before and only relied on intuition and caution, now, having benefited from it, she began to feel the threshold and gradually became familiar with it.

Feeling the gazes coming from all around, some bright and some dim, Ruan Miaomiao bit her lower lip lightly with her pearly teeth, a hint of embarrassment showing on her pretty face.

But this embarrassment soon disappeared.

She has never been one to look for reasons within herself, and this time is no exception.

Why can those people go to serve in good places, but she was not selected?

Could it be that someone else has connections? Or did they give gifts privately?

Ruan Miaomiao had secretly heard her father say before that most people in this world interact with each other based on interests. Perhaps this position had already been decided in private without her noticing.

This time she miscalculated. She looked up at Aunt Ruolan who was in the front and secretly calculated what she had to offer. In the end, she found that except for the candied fruits from Qinghetang, everything else she had was of no value.

What a joke! Before entering the palace, one would be searched from head to toe by the maid. If there were any good things there, they would have been taken away long ago.

When Ruolan heard Ruan Miaomiao's voice outside, her mood to take a break disappeared instantly.

She frowned and was about to say goodbye, but she was still a little curious about why she came.

It just so happened that she had a very deep impression of her. If it were someone else, she might really have disappeared.

"come in."

She shouted towards the door, and soon, Ruan Miaomiao, wearing a light green palace maid's costume, came in.

It was clearly the same palace dress, but when she wore it, it looked as dazzling as a gorgeous dress, which matched perfectly with the bright sunshine behind her, making people stunned for a moment.

Ruolan reacted and subconsciously looked at Ruan Miaomiao's face, which had a strong presence.

I can't help but sigh once again, this face is really blessed by God, what a pity...

Ruan Miaomiao felt that Aunt Ruolan was looking at her strangely, and she didn't know what she was regretting. She opened her eyes and said her intention directly.

"Aunt Ruolan, this is the preserves from Qinghetang. It's delicious. Would you like to try some?"

Although she said so, there was a sense of reluctance deep in her eyes, which she could not hide in front of the shrewd Ruolan.

...To be honest, this was the first time in this palace that she met someone as easy to understand as Ruan Miaomiao.

Nothing can be hidden, just like a blank sheet of paper.

Unfortunately, the thought behind this piece of white paper is too shallow, so it seems too bland and tasteless.

"Is that what you came for?"

Her expression was indifferent, making it unclear what she meant.

At this time, Ruan Miaomiao was not aware of the situation at all. She handed over the candied fruit and said what she had thought on the way here.

"hey-hey."

She smiled sweetly, her voice became soft and sticky, and she said coquettishly: "Aunt Ruolan, please try it and see if this candied fruit is sweet. If it tastes good..."

She was just about to say that if it tasted good she would buy some more.

But when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he realized that he had entered the palace and could not enter and leave as he pleased.

So I was stuck for a moment and didn't know what to say next.

Fortunately, Ruolan didn't want to waste time with her, "Is this from Qinghe Hall?"

Ruan Miaomiao nodded heavily.

"Their candied fruits are too sweet. I'm afraid I can't enjoy them. You should take them back."

Ruolan declined without any hesitation.

If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely give up after being rejected like this, but Ruan Miaomiao really mistakenly thought that she simply didn't like to eat.

She happily took back the candied fruit and said, "Then aunt, can you see me and report to the Imperial Tea House or the study tomorrow?"
