After becoming a princess, she fell in love with the emperor of the enemy country

Xiao Ningxue was delighted when she heard this, "Really?"

Yan Xuan nodded, "Of course! I wanted to go back to school, so the queen gave me the sign."

Xiao Ningxue immediately looked adoring, "The Queen is so nice."

After saying this, he caught a glimpse of Zhang Ruoning at the side, "And her, if you hadn't mentioned her, I would have forgotten about her."

Xiao Ningxue went up and slapped her, "How dare you trip me and make me lose face in front of the queen. Fortunately, the queen is kind and didn't blame you, otherwise I would have made you pay for it."

Xiao Ningyu's expression froze when she heard that, and she thought to herself, as expected, although her sister was reckless, she would never be so reckless as to step on her skirt.

If the Queen Mother blames her, Axue will definitely be charged with the crime of offending the Queen. Even if Grandpa steps in, she will still be in trouble.

Zhang Ruoning wanted to fight back, but her wrist hurt so much. Suddenly, Zhang Ruoning's expression brightened and she shouted behind them, "Aunt! Aunt, save me, the three of them are bullying me."

The three turned around and saw that it was the queen's maid who came with the dowry. They ignored Zhang Ruoning who was yelling and saluted calmly, "Sister."

Mei Xue didn't even look at Zhang Ruoning, she walked straight towards Yan Xuan and handed the box in her hand to her.

Seeing Yan Xuan's bewildered face, Mei Xue smiled and explained, "Miss left in a hurry just now and didn't wait for the queen to finish speaking."

"This is the decree of the Empress. The Empress said that Miss Yan can rest for a few days before reporting in. As for how many days, it all depends on Miss Yan's own arrangements."

"Miss Yan can go directly to the academy with the imperial edict when the time comes."

"The queen also said that Miss Yan should work harder, and then you two sisters can pass the imperial examination and come back as Jinshi."

After listening to this, Yan Xuan bowed and said, "Thank you, sister. I don't know if I can have the honor to meet the queen again. Please pass on the message. Yan Xuan will definitely live up to the queen's expectations."

Mei Xue nodded and turned back to the inner hall.

Zhang Ruoning wanted to shout again, but Xiao Ningxue stepped forward and slapped her again, "Why are you calling me aunt? Call me sister! You don't have the tact to do this, and your family actually dared to send you to the palace!"

Except for the fourth wave that entered the inner hall, everyone else was resting in the outer hall. Upon hearing this, they all laughed and mocked Zhang Ruoning for being ungrateful and blind.

Miss Wang Nianxi, who was in the first wave, couldn't help but frown and defend Mei Xue, "That's right, that sister is obviously only a few years older than us, how can you call her aunt?"

Zhang Ruoning had never endured so many people laughing at her. She covered her ears and shouted like a madman, "Shut up, everyone, shut up."

"What are you arguing about?" An angry roar came from the door of the inner hall. It was Lianxiang who had just hit Zhang Ruoning.

Everyone saw what happened just now, and now they dare not laugh, for fear of angering Lianxiang.

Even Zhang Ruoning was shocked and hid behind the crowd with his head down.

Lianxiang glanced around and saw that everyone was well behaved, then returned to the inner hall.

The people in the outer hall all breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Zhang Ruoning with a sullen expression.

Xiao Ningyu sighed. Zhang Ruoning might be isolated in the imperial capital in the future!

In the inner hall, Qi Wuyou looked at the last seven people, and the dirty figure was standing at the back.

The person in front used this to introduce his hobby, but got stuck when it came to Zhang Ruoming.

Zhang Ruoming rubbed his hands, lowered his head and dared not speak.

Qi Wuyou thought that he had made such a big fuss that he scared her, so he patiently asked again gently.

Zhang Ruoming still hesitated, and finally said in a stammering voice, "Your servant...Your servant has no preference."

Upon hearing this, Qi Wuyou motioned for the other ladies to leave first, "I want to talk to Miss Zhang alone."

"Yes," Qi Wuyou asked again after everyone left, "What do you usually do at home?"

Zhang Ruoming stammered, "What... I do everything, cooking, washing dishes, washing clothes..."

Qi Wuyou frowned, "The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is at least a third-rank official, and is in charge of finances. How can he even make his own daughter do rough labor?"

She had looked carefully just now and found that her sister Zhang Ruoning's hands had no calluses at all, and her hands were round and smooth, and she didn't look like someone from such a frugal family at all.

Seeing Zhang Ruoming's hesitation, Qi Wuyou understood, "There is a maid, but I won't let you use her?"

Zhang Ruoming didn't dare to lie and nodded vaguely.

Qi Wuyou fiddled with Zhang Ruoming's ID card, thought for a moment and said, "I remember your biological mother was a merchant?"

Qi Wuyou didn't have any purpose in asking this, he just wanted to know, aren't all traveling merchants quite wealthy? Why is this young lady living such a miserable life?

Zhang Ruoming was shocked when he heard this, but he still nodded, "My mother, Ge, is indeed from a merchant family, and my maternal grandfather's family was once the richest in the imperial capital."

Zhang Ruoming suddenly remembered that his mother once got drunk and mentioned that she was actually his father's first wife.

But the drunkard’s words should not be taken seriously, so Zhang Ruoming didn’t take it seriously.

Qi Wuyou was thoughtful after hearing this. His surname is Ge? And he is the richest man? Could he be Ge Qiu's family?

Qi Wuyou put down the sign in his hand and said, "You can go back. Leave the sign here. Someone will come to pick you up in a few days."

Zhang Ruoming was startled when she heard this, "My queen?"

Qi Wuyou smiled and said, "Why? Are you not happy to be my companion?"

Zhang Ruoming shook her head, "But I don't know how to do anything..."

Qi Wuyou waved his hand and said, "Stop it. I choose people based on their appearance, not their talent."

After saying that, Qi Wuyou was about to chase them away, "Okay, go back."

It's almost time for dinner, please leave quickly and don't delay her meal.

Zhang Ruoming didn't dare to say anything more after hearing this. He made an awkward salute and walked out.

Qi Wuyou looked at the pile of signs at hand and sighed.

Lianxiang smiled and said, "It seems that there are quite a few people who are pleasing to the Empress!"

Qi Wuyou glared at her and said, "Just the Xiao sisters, Zhang Ruoming, and Wang Nianxi."

Lianxiang nodded, "Yes, I will go to His Majesty to issue an order in a moment."

In the outer hall, everyone had been waiting for a long time, and finally saw the last person, Zhang Ruoming, come out.

Zhang Ruoning was furious when she saw Zhang Ruoming with empty hands. "You were selected? Why?"

"Then the queen is blind? She chose you instead of me?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. This guy was so bold that he actually dared to insult the queen in the palace. It would be bad if the queen blamed him and took her anger out on them.

The Xiao sisters and Yan Xuan are not so cunning, they just don't want to see anyone slandering the queen.

Everyone stepped forward to stop them. Wang Nianxi didn't want Zhang Ruoning to scold the queen, so she covered her mouth with her hand.

But it was too late. Zhang Ruoning completely lost her mind. Not only did she bite Wang Nianxi who was covering her mouth, she also hit Yan Xuan. "What? Don't stop me. You are afraid of her, but I am not. She is just a little kid."

Lianxiang, who was so loud, could hear it clearly even though she was in the innermost part. She kicked the door open with a "clang" and the place outside was in chaos.

Wang Nianxi's hands were bitten and bleeding profusely. The clothes of the Xiao sisters were also messed up, and there was a slap mark on Yan Xuan's face.
