Cui Shanggong's reprimand, Jinying does not guarantee that she will not help that little maid in the future if she has an accident, so she can only promise Cui Shanggong to avoid it as much as possible.

"You child..." Sighing, Cui Shanggong still has nothing to do with Jinying.

"Come with me, the game is about to start, don't be late." Shaking his head helplessly, Cui Shanggong decisively decided to change the subject quickly before his majesty disappeared.

"Yes, ma'am." Following behind Cui Shanggong, Jinying still secretly smiled. She knew that Cui Shanggong would not punish her severely because of Cui Shanggong's love for her, but after the exam, would she It is hard to say that the daily workload is increased.

Following Cui Shanggong from the dormitory all the way to the training center, he met many servants on the way. Looking at them, Jin Ying inexplicably thought of an older brother who was quite familiar with him when he was in the private house.

If she didn't enter the palace, that brother should be a good match, or if she is a man, it should be very exciting to be able to win the first prize at the age of 16.

It's just that all these thoughts are just assumptions. She is not only a woman, but also enters the palace and becomes a palace maid. She is labeled as the king's woman, and she can only be nodding acquaintances with that brother in the future.

Thinking wildly, he walked to the training center in a short while, looking at Zhu Hong's palace, Jinying suddenly remembered the little maid from yesterday.

I don't know what expression she will have when she sees her.

"Look, Jang Geum, that's the sister Jinying that the sisters are talking about. She came with Empress Cui Shanggong." The little palace maid sitting in the back whispered in Jang Jin's ear, and Jang Geum raised his head to look at Cui Shanggong. Behind Shang Gong, the familiar face made her "coax" in her head, and she could no longer hear any outside voices.

"It's not a sister named Jinying!"

"It's going to be this month's test soon. The sisters said that the women in Shanggong prefer Jinying sister, so Jinying sister doesn't need to do rough work, just practice the exam content constantly, and the sisters don't know the exam questions. , and I didn’t have time to practice, they were all very angry, and said that if they stringed pine nuts in the exam, the sisters would definitely beat sister Jinying. If it is done on time, the older sisters will definitely be angry."

"Sister, what's wrong with you? Is it because Jinying sister knows the exam questions, so you are unhappy?"

"No, it's not like that."

"And you? What do you think?"

"I also think Jinying sister knows the exam questions and has a lot of time to prepare, which is very unfair to the other sisters, but the sisters did not complete their work, but instead pushed the work to us, which is also unfair to us. It's not fair."

"Jinying...is she Jinying's sister?" Jang Jin said in surprise.

In that case, then what she complained about Jin Ying last night...

Jang Geum's heart was going to die of annoyance.

From the corner of his eyes, he saw the tangled face of Jang Geum, and Jinying felt that the tiredness from not sleeping all night had subsided a lot.

"Today's exam question is..." Above, when Cui Shanggong was about to announce the exam question, he was unexpectedly stopped by Jinying.

"My lady, please wait a moment."

Hearing Jinying's opening to stop Cui Sanggong, for some reason, an ominous premonition flashed in Jang Geum's heart.

"Recently, my little girl heard a rumor, and my little girl is deeply terrified." Leaning slightly, Jinying said panic, but his face was indifferent. On the other hand, Jang Jin, who was kneeling not far away, had a look of fear, It's like acting for Jinying.

"Oh? What kind of rumor is it?" Cui Shanggong couldn't help but become curious when he heard Jinying say this and knew his niece very well. It must not be easy for Jinying to treat rumors so seriously.

Jinying stood up, and slowly glanced at the young ladies sitting in the room. Many of the young ladies who were in the same class as her or older than her lowered their heads subconsciously, avoiding Jinying's gaze.

"Little girl heard that some people think that the mother is partial to the little girl, so every time she leaks the test questions to the little girl in advance, and guides the little girl to contact, so the little girl can get No.1 every time."

"It's a bastard!" Cui Shanggong was very angry when he heard Jinying say this, "What is the intention of the person who said such a thing, how could he slander me and the most noble lady!"

Cui Shanggong never thought that the group of little palace ladies below would think like this.

"Jinying, tell me who said such stupid things!"

As soon as Cui Shanggong said these words, more than half of the kneeling maids in the palace panicked. Seeing their expressions, Cui Shanggong wished to drag them out one by one and beat them severely.

"Jinying's talent is much higher than yours. 'Jinying has learned to cook food before he can walk'. Although this sentence is a bit exaggerated, Jinying's talent is beyond your imagination. Let Jinying train alone instead of training with you because you can’t keep up with Jinying’s progress. If Jinying trains with you, part-time jobs are burying Jinying’s talent. You just think that Jinying is not with you It's not fair to practice from the basics, it's me and the most noble lady who are biased, but have you ever considered that when Jinying was doing these basic exercises, you were still acting coquettishly at home and didn't know what a kitchen knife is!" Cui Shang When the palace saw the little maids below, it became very angry.

"Jinying, come and tell me who said such slanderous words!"

Seeing that Cui Shanggong was so angry, Jinying sighed, this was not her intention, and in this situation, she can only rely on her to appease Cui Shanggong.

"Mistress, please don't pursue it. They said such things because they didn't understand the little girl. They misunderstood the most noble lady, you, and the little girl. If they knew the true strength of the little girl, they would not No more rumors like this."

After a pause, Jinying continued.

"The little girl suggested that the topic of this exam should be changed to stringing pine nuts. In this way, other little palace ladies will have more contact with them on weekdays, which will be more beneficial to them. The reason why the little girl was not contacted by them because she didn't have contact with them on weekdays. Misunderstood, if the little girl can win the pine nut competition, I believe there will be no more rumors in the future."

"What's more, if the little girl loses the most basic things because of practicing higher skills and loses to them, then the little girl should also be punished and go back to the most basic connection."

After some words, Cui Shanggong turned his anger into joy, and the little maids in the palace were also persuaded.

There was a buzzing discussion below, Cui Shanggong didn't stop them, and let them discuss, until the voice gradually died down, Cui Shanggong opened his mouth.

"Since this is the case, then the topic of this competition should be changed to stringing pine nuts with bamboo leaves. The winner is whoever strings the most pine nuts within the specified time."

After the ladies in the palace brought up the materials for stringing pine nuts and put them in front of everyone, Cui Shanggong suddenly issued an order that many people did not expect.

"Start by turning off the lights, and you can start after the lights go out."

Hearing Cui Shanggong's words, the little palace ladies erupted again.

"How to string pine nuts with the lights out!"

"No, how can you see it like this?"

"Shut up, everyone!" Hearing the complaints from below, Cui Shanggong finally erupted.

"What do you think us Shanggong let you string pine nuts for? Just to let you string pine nuts! Damn things!"

"Now, lights out, and if anyone complains, don't take any more exams!"

As soon as this sentence came out, the place became much quieter. As soon as the candlelight was extinguished, many people began to move their hands.

As the lights went out, Jinying also picked up the pine nuts and bamboo leaves on the plate in front of her to start her competition. Jinying only felt that she had been skewering, and she didn't know how long it was before she heard Cui Shanggong's voice .

"Okay, let's all stop." With the sound of Cui Shanggong's voice, the candles were lit again, and many people looked at the plates in front of them in frustration.

Opportunity

"In this competition, Jinying is No. 1, and No. 2 is Jang Geum." After going around and looking at the results of the little maids, Cui Shanggong almost died of anger.

"See for yourself, where is the gap between you and Jinying!"

Seeing a plate full of skewered pine nuts in front of Jinying, the little maids lowered their heads and remained silent.

"Jinying, you have won No.1. You can leave the palace and go home to rest for the reward of No.1. You can pack up and go back."

Looking at Jinying again, Cui Shanggong's attitude can be regarded as amiable.

"Your Majesty, my little girl wants to give No.2 the chance to leave the palace."

Cui Shanggong turned around and just sat down when he heard Jinying's resignation.

"The level of the little girl is different from other people, so she can get No.1 every time, and every time she is able to leave the palace, it is the little girl, which causes many people to complain, so this time the little girl hopes that the chance of going out of the palace can be taken as a priority. Give the reward to No.2."

It wasn't until Cui Shanggong announced the ranking that Jinying knew the name of the little palace lady she helped. Chang Jin, she had heard of this person, and vaguely heard that she was the adopted daughter of a low-status brewer. Life is also very difficult, Jinying thought, if she is given the opportunity to go out of the palace this time, she should be very happy.

"In this case, Jang Geum, pack up and go home to rest."

After listening to Jinying's words, Cui Shanggong agreed after thinking about it carefully.
