Chapter 237: Thank you for your true face
Ye Shangyi listened to what she said, and she couldn't believe it.
Usually she is arrogant and doesn't care at all, the ladies here are not as good as her family background.
But the person who reprimanded her now is the prince of Cangyun Country!
Ye Shangyi felt that her face was dull, and she was as embarrassed as earth.
She glanced at Shen Ningning resentfully: "I, I'm ......"
After all, Ye Shangyi couldn't bear such a public humiliation, and instead covered her face and ran away crying.
The eldest aunt winked and motioned for a little palace maid to follow and watch, so as not to cause problems.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words, everyone heard them? The selection of female officers is absolutely fair, everyone is a starting point, there is no difference, and there is no preferential treatment. ”
In front of Mo Lingwei, the eldest aunt solemnly declared.
Then, she respectfully walked up to Mo Lingwei: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here to pick up the county lord, right?" It just so happens that there will be no classes scheduled. ”
Unexpectedly, Mo Ling's dark and gloomy gaze swept over the little guy who was at a loss over there.
"I'm just here to take a look, and I'm leaving." As he spoke, he withdrew his gaze and led the man to turn away.
Shen Ningning was stunned for a moment, and stepped forward with his little feet and was about to catch up.
Who would have thought about it, there was an exclamation behind her, and Qi Xiuwei shouted in fright: "Miss Xie has fainted!" ”
Shen Ningning looked back, and Xie Yuanjiu had indeed fallen to the ground with a pale face.
Everyone gathered around, and the eldest aunt hurriedly asked the little palace maid to take the token and ask for the imperial doctor.
Shen Ningning looked at the figure of Mo Lingwei who had gone away in the sedan chair, she could only grit her teeth, thinking that she would wait until she saw him at night and then explain.
Then, the little guy ran to Xie Yuanjiu's side to help.
When the eldest aunt met Xie Yuanjiu, she realized that she was very hot.
After the imperial doctor came, he prescribed medicine, saying that Xie Yuanjiu was infected with typhoid fever, and it took a day or two before it became serious.
The eldest aunt quietly glanced at Xie Yuanjiu who was in a coma.
She left a little palace maid to take care of.
In the evening.
Xie Yuanjiu finally woke up, and there was only one little palace maid boiling medicine in the house.
She sat up with her head aching, and the first thing she said was to ask, "Auntie didn't say she was going to drive me away, did she?" ”
The little palace maid raised her head and said, "Miss Xie, you are awake, my aunt didn't say anything, don't think about the selection of female officials now, your body is important." ”
"The doctors all said that your illness came in a hurry, but you have to take care of it."
Xie Yuanjiu pursed his lips, his eyes flushed with seriousness.
She immediately demanded, "I want to see my aunt." ”
The little palace maid couldn't resist her, and after a while, the eldest aunt rushed to hear the news.
Xie Yuanjiu found an excuse to take the little palace maid.
Seeing this, the eldest aunt had a calm look in her eyes: "Miss Xie should have a good rest now, and tomorrow the slave will contact your family to pick you up from the palace." ”
Xie Yuanjiu leaned against the bed, and his face was still haggard in illness.
But those eyes, because of calculation, looked black and dull.
"Auntie, I'm looking for you to tell you about my illness."
"I know that according to the palace rules, if a sick lady is born, she can't choose a female official, but my aunt can't send me away."
The eldest aunt stared at her: "Since Miss Xie knows the requirements of the palace rules, even if the slave maid agrees not to send you away, but what the slave and maid say is not counted, and the palace rules say it." ”
Xie Yuanjiu smiled: "But auntie, if it was before, it was true that you would have to listen to the palace rules." ”
"But now I'm different, Concubine Rong specially talked to me today, how does my aunt know that Niangniang doesn't want me to be a female official?"
The eldest aunt's heart was shocked, and she subconsciously twisted her eyebrows.
She looked at Xie Yuanjiu, this lady who usually looked quiet and introverted, and behaved decently, could actually say such arrogant words.
Xie Yuanjiu's tone was quiet: "Ning Ning is close to the crown prince, and she will definitely not be a female official of His Royal Highness the Nine." ”
"Miss Ye offended the prince today, I think the news will soon reach the ears of Concubine Rong, so she also lost the opportunity."
"And among the many ladies at the moment, only Miss Qi and I are favored by Concubine Rong."
"If my aunt kicks me out of the palace, what if I guess the wrong mother's mind?"
The eldest aunt was silent for a long time before she spoke again: "Miss Xie, there are some things that the slave maid doesn't want to say too bluntly, so as not to disappoint you." ”
"But apart from the Lord of Funing and Miss Ye you just mentioned, there are many outstanding among the ladies."
"The selection of female officers is based on comprehensive results, and you have not answered correctly in every previous assessment, Concubine Rong will not know."
Xie Yuanjiu took out a bag of things from under the pillow and squeezed it in his hand.
She smiled lightly: "You don't have to worry about this, what you have to do is not to rush to forcibly send me out of the palace." ”
As she spoke, she handed over the heavy purse.
Xie Yuanjiu's eyes were gloomy: "My aunt only needs to say to the outside world that my condition needs to be recuperated and should not be moved, so I can't leave the palace for the time being." ”
"It's not that hard for my aunt, is it? I believe that Concubine Rong will not let you forcibly send me away at this time. ”
The eldest aunt pursed her lips, lowered her eyebrows for a moment, and then said, "Okay, then as Miss said, I hope you can get your wish." ”
A hint of pride flashed in Xie Yuanjiu's eyes, and she handed the purse forward again.
"Auntie, take it, right? These days, hard work for you. ”
"Thank you Miss for your kindness, the slave can't stand it." After that, the eldest aunt was blessed and retired.
Shen Ningning had been sitting at the door of the Water Pavilion Flower Dock.
She held the stove in her small hand, and her black spirit eyes always looked at the door of the courtyard.
When the eldest aunt came out of the north room, she saw the lonely figure of the little man.
"The county lord? Who are you waiting for? The eldest aunt stepped forward and asked.
Shen Ningning raised her little pink face, and her voice was glutinous: "Auntie, I'm looking to see when Brother Wufang will come." ”
The little guy was wondering what if Mo Lingwei asked her to go over to eat with her.
She had to wait here, Wu Fang would see her as soon as he came in.
Shen Ningning stood up and asked again, "By the way, is Sister Xie better?" ”
The eldest aunt sank her gaze: "County Lord, you live in the same room with Miss Xie, did you already know that she was sick?" ”
Shen Ningning was stunned, lowered her head, and twisted the corners of her clothes with her little hands, looking very guilty.
"Yes......" she replied, "I'm sorry aunt, I should have told you, but Sister Xie begged me not to say it." ”
"She has been preparing for a long time for the selection of female officers, so I thought she should be given a chance, so I didn't report it."
The eldest aunt listened, and her heart was slightly cold.
I'm afraid that the county lord of Funing hasn't seen what kind of person Miss Xie is!
The eldest aunt shook her head: "The county lord doesn't need to say sorry to the slave maid, after all, Miss Xie is also blessed by misfortune." ”
"Next, I wish her what she thinks can come true." After the aunt finished speaking, the blessed body retired.
Shen Ningning was confused when he listened.
A blessing in disguise? How can illness become a good thing?
The little one sat down puzzled and waited another hour.
It was dark, and it was time to go to bed, so Mo Lingwei didn't send anyone.
The prince was not summoned, and with her identity, she could not leave the water pavilion casually.
Therefore, Shen Ningning walked with her little feet and paced back and forth under the corridor.
Everyone fell asleep.
Just now, the little palace maids came to urge Shen Ningning to return to the room.
However, the little one wants to wait a little longer.
Until a pair of hands gently patted her shoulder from behind.
