"Fourth Miss Xie Family, thank you for wishing for it." The eldest aunt read out the name.

It was like a drop of water entering a pot of oil, and everyone suddenly boiled.

They were surprised, suspicious, and envious.

Ye Shangyi looked at Xie Yuanjiu in surprise: "Auntie, are you mistaken?" Five days after entering the palace, Xie Yuanjiu took the exam for two days, and she even failed! ”

"Why did you choose her to be a female officer?"

The eldest aunt looked at her with a calm face: "This is what Concubine Rong said herself, and the slave will never cheat." ”

Ye Shangyi clenched her fists unwillingly and glared at Xie Yuanjiu angrily.

Facing everyone's different eyes, Xie Yuanjiu smiled softly, as if he was not surprised.

"Thank you for your love, the little girl will not live up to her expectations in the future." Rao said calmly, but Shen Ningning clearly saw that the smugness in her eyes couldn't hide it.

Then, everyone dispersed, cleaned up today, and went home from the palace tomorrow morning.

Probably because Shen Ningning was not selected as a female official, those ladies were able to accept her again and regarded the little guy as an ally.

They dragged Shen Ningning and gathered around her and complained-

"County Lord, this Sister Xie of your family is really a blockbuster if she doesn't make a sound."

"That is, everyone thinks that you and Miss Qi are the most promising female officials, no matter how bad it is, Miss Ye's family background is definitely an advantage."

"Who would have thought that I would choose a failed Xie Yuanjiu in the past? County Lord, do you want to talk to Concubine Rong and let her change her mind. ”

Xie Yuanjiu's success made them very worried.

Especially Xie Yuanjiu these days, not only did he not pass his aunt's test, but he was also sick for a few days.

This behavior really makes them feel what is called unfair treatment.

They would rather accept Shen Ningning as a female official than accept someone who wins, and they are not as grateful as they are everywhere.

However, the little guy waved his hand: "Auntie didn't say it all, the mother decided it herself, there must be a reason for the mother to do this." ”

Shen Ningning was afraid that everyone would drag her to talk again, so she hurriedly made an excuse to go back to the room and escaped from the crowd.

Behind her, the ladies continued to complain passionately about Xie Yuanjiu.

As soon as Shen Ningning walked to the door of his room, he heard a stern refusal from Xie Yuanjiu from inside: "I don't want to give up the position of the female official to you." ”

She paused on her little feet and leaned in to listen.

Unexpectedly, Ye Shangyi's voice followed: "You don't agree?" Okay, okay, you think you're in power, and I can't help you, right? ”

"Let me tell you, thank you Yuanjiu, if you don't give me the position of a female official, I will go and tell Concubine Rong that in order to enter the National Academy, you entrusted my father to use his relationship to send a bribe of 5,000 taels of silver to Guo Fuzi of the National Academy!"

"Does your eldest Uncle Xie know that your second room is 5,000 taels? I'm afraid I don't know, when he knows, I'll see how you can still gain a foothold in the Xie family! ”

At this moment, Shen Ningning pushed the door and entered.

The tense atmosphere between the two in the room came to an abrupt end.

Panic flashed in Xie Yuanjiu's eyes.

Shen Ningning came in? Did she hear something?

Ye Shangyi was also startled, she didn't expect someone to come in suddenly.

She came back to her senses, looked at Xie Yuanjiu, and said, "You think about it, hum!" ”

After that, Ye Shangyi turned around and left, passing by Shen Ningning's side, without looking at her.

The little one didn't care, and as if nothing had happened, he walked to his couch and sorted out the clothes he had brought in.

Xie Yuanjiu slowly moved to her side, and said as if flattering, "Ning Ning, can I help you clean up?" ”

Shen Ningning's tone was inaudible: "No need, isn't your illness still unfinished?" Have a good rest, lie down and go to the horn, I'll do it myself. ”

Xie Yuanjiu stared at her side face, the little guy was fair and delicate, and he didn't have any special look.

"Ning Ning, this Ye Shangyi is too much, because she is jealous, she talks nonsense, and wants to threaten me, I'm really fed up." Xie Yuanjiu took the initiative to probe.

Shen Ningning's little hand folding clothes stopped, and she turned to look at her with big black eyes.

"Did she threaten you? What was said? ”

Seeing her reaction, as if she hadn't heard Ye Shangyi's words just now, Xie Yuanjiu hid her suspicions in her heart.

She smiled perfunctorily: "Just let me give her the position of female official, but I don't want to, I won it with my real skills, and I won't give it to anyone." ”

Shen Ningning sighed.

After that, Xie Yuanjiu watched Shen Ningning finish packing up her clothes, lay down on the couch and started reading, and she went back to her couch to lie down.

However, her eyes kept sideways, secretly staring at Shen Ningning, for fear that she would have some ideas.

Ye Shangyi's words, she was sure that the little guy heard it, but she didn't know how much she heard.

If Shen Ningning dared to tell her eldest aunt, she wouldn't be polite!

Xie Yuanjiu thought of this, and a trace of vicious ruthlessness flashed in his eyes.

Until nightfall, after the hour.

Xie Yuanjiu covered the quilt and seemed to be asleep.

Shen Ningning quietly got down from the couch, tiptoed to put on her cloak, she pushed open the door, and left in the cold night.

Xie Yuanjiu on the couch opened her eyes suddenly, her eyes were sober, glowing with a venomous black, where was there any trace of falling asleep?

She got off the bed quickly, and after walking out of the door, she saw that Shen Ningning had already gone on the long bridge, and Xie Yuanjiu followed desperately.

There was only one voice in her head—

Shen Ningning must not be allowed to tell this story!

The north wind howled, like an invisible beast, crashing past palaces.

The carved beams and paintings in the dark night also seem extremely indifferent.

There are no lights in Concubine Li's forbidden palace, it is dark everywhere, and the dark shadow around the corner seems to hide ghosts.

A sneaky figure quietly walked in through the half-open door.

Before she could see where the road ahead was leading, there was a sudden shout from the Praetorian Guards behind her—

"Sure enough, someone broke in, arrest!"

A pile of fire light emerged from the corner of the palace road, and Commander Lu led the forbidden army team with a cold face and hurried over.

The figure heard the movement and ran forward in fright.

By the light of the fire, Commander Lu saw that it was the figure of a little girl.

He waved his hand and shouted sternly: "Chase!" I heard that someone wants to break into the forbidden palace tonight despite the imperial decree, and she must be caught! ”

Captain Pei Yin stepped a few steps lightly, kicking the fleeing figure to the ground from behind.

"Ahh The little girl let out a scream.

Pei Yin showed no mercy, grabbed her shoulders and turned her over in one fell swoop.

The forbidden army immediately took torches to shine over, and Commander Lu had already stepped forward, and when he saw the captured person, he was suddenly stunned.

"Fourth Miss Xie Family? How could it be you? ”

Xie Yuanjiu's face was covered with blood, and he cried: "I was lured over, I didn't want to break into the Forbidden Palace, I didn't!" ”
