After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

Seeing this, Chun Ning glanced at Su Qing who was kneeling obediently, waved at her, and said with a smile: "Come, let me have a look too."

She hadn't expressed her opinion before because Qin Yaoguang didn't speak.

Now that the imperial sister has expressed her liking for this little girl, she might as well help her out.

Su Qing did not stand up immediately, but glanced at Queen Xie.

This glance made Empress Xie feel relieved.

"He is a polite child," Empress Xie said gently, "Since Sister Chunning is calling you, go ahead."

Su Qing then stood up according to the etiquette and walked towards Chun Ning.

Behind her were the envious gazes of a group of noble ladies.

They all knew that, if nothing unexpected happened, the companion study spot would go to Su Qing!

Cui Lanzhi clenched her hands so tightly that even her joints turned bluish white.

If she hadn't been concerned about the occasion, she would have just wanted to pounce on Cui Yawei, grab her neck and question her.

However, she knew very well in her heart that she knew the real reason why the two sisters disliked her without asking.

Isn't it just that she is jealous of her father's favor from the old Duke Ningguo?

So what!

Don’t you even look at your two rooms and see what they are capable of?

Cui Yongwei was promoted to one of the Nine Ministers, but he was very low-key in his behavior, especially in front of the direct descendants of the Cui family, he was particularly respectful.

This had long made Cui Lanzhi, who had a high opinion of herself, dissatisfied.

Today, she secretly vowed in her heart that she must stand out in front of the Queen and the Empress Dowager.

She asked her mother to invite an embroiderer from Suzhou to help her improve her already exquisite embroidery work.

Who would have thought that it would backfire?

The pair of shoes Su Qing embroidered were nice, but the materials were not as expensive as hers! The embroidery was not perfect either.

She lost this round very unwillingly.

Cui Yawei was calm and composed, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised.

Of course she could feel Cui Lanzhi's gaze, but so what?

If I'm not good, you can't expect me to be good either.

It's fair that everyone is bad.

On the other hand, although Cui Yaxian still maintained the demeanor of a lady from an aristocratic family, one could not help but look a little disappointed.

She thought that if Cui Lanzhi couldn't do it, it would be her turn.

Who would have known that the eldest princess would suddenly pick out the inconspicuous Su Qing?

Among these noble ladies waiting to be selected, Su Qing could not rank high either in terms of family background or appearance.

However, no matter what they think, the matter has been settled.

Chun Ning called Su Qing over, asked her a few questions, and then pushed her towards the eldest princess behind Queen Xie.

"Empress, since you have chosen a reading companion for the eldest princess, why not let the children talk on their own? If they can get along well, you won't have to worry about it anymore."

Chun Ning said this very well, causing Queen Xie to look at her several times on the spot.

Queen Xie thought to herself: In the past, I thought Chunning was useless, too cowardly, and lacked the responsibility and dignity of a princess.

Unexpectedly, she has made a lot of progress since she sent Lu Yi back to the Lu family.

Sure enough, after three days of separation, we should treat each other with admiration.

So, she followed Chun Ning's words and said to the ladies with a smile: "In this case, let Miss Su stay and you can all go."

Empress Xie did not say anything final, leaving room for maneuver.

He neither said that Su Qing was chosen, nor did he say that he would not choose her. This way, there is more room for maneuver later.

When choosing a study partner for her daughter, although she was tired of Cui Lanzhi, she had learned the lesson from the last Meiyuan incident and did not dare to act on her own.

The candidate will be announced after consulting his father.

"Yes."

All the noble ladies stood up, responded in unison, and then retreated.

Seeing that her daughter was left behind, Su Qing's mother, Zhao, breathed a sigh of relief, with an expression of both relief and worry on her face.

When Su Qing was put on the candidate list, the only thought in her mind was that it would be respectable to show her face in front of the nobles.

The people on that list were either daughters of aristocratic families or direct descendants of a duke's mansion. Although she was also from a marquis's mansion, her husband's family was not prominent.

Who would have thought that the person left until the end would be his own daughter?

Thinking of this, she began to worry.

Because she had never taught her daughter how to deal with such situations.

The most honorable person around my daughter now is the current empress dowager, and the lowest is the eldest princess under Queen Xie, there are so many noble people.

What if she spoke inappropriately and offended some important person?

But no matter how anxious Zhao was, there was nothing else she could do at the moment.

Don't preach. With her status, she has never seen such a scene.

I can only pray for my daughter secretly in my heart and hope that she will pass the test smoothly.

All the ladies returned to their female elders.

Upon seeing this, the female official in charge of the Qushui Liushang game signaled to stop the game and told the musicians to play elegant music.

Amid the music, He grabbed her daughter and niece who were approaching her, took them to a corner of the greenhouse, and asked them in an anxious tone.

"What happened just now? Did you not offend the noble?"

Wang is no longer the daughter-in-law of the Cui family. Cui Yawei entered the palace with He.

If anything goes wrong, it will be her responsibility.

Thinking of her increasingly unpredictable father-in-law at home, He became nervous.

Cui Yawei smiled nonchalantly: "Don't be nervous, aunt, it just ruined Cui Lanzhi's good fortune."

As she spoke, she lowered her voice and recounted what had just happened.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just be fine.

As for Cui Lanzhi, let alone the two younger generations, she herself had disliked that room for a long time.

He is obviously just the nephew of the old Duke Ningguo, why do they get all the good things?

Cui Yaxian pouted and said coquettishly, "Mother, I thought I would have a chance, but I didn't expect the princess wouldn't help me."

In her opinion, the eldest princess was her cousin, but she was inexplicably helping an outsider.

He took a breath and said hurriedly, "Don't think like that!"

She looked around with vigilant eyes, and then she reprimanded Cui Yaxian in a low voice: "That's the eldest princess. Can you just guess what the eldest princess thinks? You can't even think about it, and you still say it out loud!"

Cui Yaxian was startled by her harsh words and stammered, "My daughter... I know I was wrong."

They were in a corner of the greenhouse, but surprisingly no one could hear them.

As the saying goes, walls have ears.

In order to provide ventilation, lighting and heat preservation, the greenhouse uses a combination of wooden walls and thick gauze, but is not soundproof.

Outside the wall, a palace maid heard He's words clearly.

He's reaction was completely consistent with her behavior after being reprimanded by Princess Leyang.

It seems that Qin Yaoguang really wanted to find out something from He, but He didn't dare to say it.

That's why, when selecting a study partner, he ignored Cui Yaxian, who had a great chance, and instead promoted an outsider.

As expected, the Empress Dowager's family completely abandoned the Cui family.

The palace maid was secretly thinking about it in her heart, and after the He family’s three people left, she pretended as if nothing had happened and left.

Inside the room, Chun Ning leaned close to Qin Yaoguang's ear and asked softly, "Royal sister, why do you suddenly want to praise the Su family?"
