The emperor remembered that Qin Fengtian's birth was an accident. The queen was pushed by his concubine and fell into the pond, causing Qin Fengtian to be born prematurely in August. For this reason, he divorced the concubine.

But Qin Fengtian did not have any congenital deficiencies, and was even more severely deficient than the average full-term baby. At that time, he thought that his son was very lucky, but now he thinks that there may be another hidden story.

He pinched his brows and sighed heavily. If the Queen and Qin Zehai really did something to let him down, he would never let them off easily.

On the day when Nian Susu went to Caiyue Pavilion to select personal maids, Zhihua, who almost lived in the warehouse, also showed up.

The maids stood in rows in the courtyard, and there were about a hundred of them at a glance. In order from the lowest to the highest, Jingxue in the first row stood out because of her height. The maids on her left and right were only as tall as her shoulders.

The short Yun Qing was in the last row, blocked by the people in front of him, and had almost no chance to show his face.

Anyone with a discerning eye knew what was going on. The two had a big fight and broke up. Jingxue had always been strong-willed, so it was possible that she forced Yunqing to switch places with her. But Yunqing was not a pushover, so how could he obey her? Could it be a self-torture trick?

No one knew whether it was a self-torture trick, but it was true that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess frowned when they saw Jingxue standing at the front of the line.

The two exchanged glances but said nothing.

Qin Junyu called Butler Yang and took a quick look. "Are all the people here?"

Steward Yang nodded and said, "Your Highness, except for the eleven maids who voluntarily gave up, all the people in Caiyue Pavilion are here."

Qin Junyu nodded, raised an eyebrow at Nian Susu, and smiled dotingly, "Go ahead, take whatever you like back home."

The maids all showed surprised expressions, and then they became crazy about him. Where had they ever seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince show such a gentle expression? Not to mention smiling at anyone.

His Highness spoke softly to the Crown Princess, and at this moment the description "I'm afraid it will melt if I hold it in my mouth, and I'm afraid it will break if I hold it in my hands" became concrete in their minds.

Who is spreading the rumor that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince dislikes the Crown Princess?

At the same time, they were also extremely curious about what kind of ability this new Crown Princess had that could melt the iceberg of His Highness and turn the steel into something as soft as silk.

Jingxue felt very unhappy. She wished that His Highness could be so gentle to her. She clenched her fists quietly in her sleeves and made up her mind: she must go to the east wing to be on duty!

Nian Susu was not used to acting intimate with Qin Junyu in front of so many people. When she noticed that everyone was looking at her with envy and curiosity, her ears turned red silently.

Zhihua was the most excited. The Crown Princess was selecting new people, which meant that she would have new partners. She had to screen them carefully and not let anyone with bad intentions get in.

More importantly, she wanted a lively and cheerful girl to keep her company so that her days in the palace would not be too boring.

Seeing that Zhihua was ready to make a move, Nian Susu asked her to pick ten people first and then he would choose from them, so that both of them would be satisfied.

Butler Yang considerately had someone bring an armchair and asked Nian Susu to move to the outer corridor and sit down. Qin Junyu, who was in a wheelchair, was also pushed into the outer corridor.

Zhihua plunged into the crowd, not only looking at their liking for her, but also testing their abilities with test questions. If they couldn't answer or their answers didn't satisfy her, they would be eliminated.

It took half an hour just to pass the Zhihua stage, and among the ten people finally selected were Jingxue and Yunqing.

Those who were not selected stepped aside. Lingxiu left the scene with regret, but did not forget to cheer Jingxue up.

Jingxue was very confident because the little palace maid had a good impression of her. She was the maid that came with the Crown Princess's dowry and had a certain say. So as long as the little palace maid was satisfied with her and said a few good words in front of the Crown Princess, wouldn't it be easy for her to be selected?

Zhihua ran to Nian Susu and whispered a few words in his ear. Nian Susu glanced at the ten people outside the corridor, as if thinking about something.

Zhihua obediently stood behind Nian Susu. The final decision still lay with Nian Susu.

Nian Susu was about to stand up when Qin Junyu held her down, staring at her closely and holding her hand tighter. "Madam, do you remember what I told you?"

Nian Susu pretended to be dumbfounded and asked with a sly smile, "What? Your Highness said too much, I can't remember clearly."

He winked in Jingxue's direction and told her with his lips: "Don't choose."

She rolled her eyes and pushed his hand away, "It depends on my mood."

Nian Susu walked down the stairs in ten steps and walked back and forth twice in front of the ten people.

Nine of the palace maids lowered their heads and dared not look at her directly. Only Jingxue stood out from the crowd and was always so "dazzling" in the crowd.

She stopped in front of Jingxue. Not only Jingxue was nervous, but Qin Junyu was also nervous. He grabbed the armrest of the wheelchair, eager to move, and wanted to get up several times.

Nian Susu paused for a moment, said nothing, and walked in front of Yun Qing.

Yun Qing lowered his head, and his expression did not look as confident as Jingxue.

"Yun Qing." Nian Susu read out her name softly, and Yun Qing trembled with fear.

"Crown Princess." Yun Qing looked up at her with a smile on his face.

"Get out of the queue."

After just two words, Yun Qing knew that she was chosen. She was overjoyed and followed Nian Susu with a red face. This made Jingxue anxious. The Crown Princess had just stopped in front of her but didn't say anything. Does this mean that she was not chosen?

Just when Jingxue was feeling uneasy, Nian Susu stopped in front of her again.

"Crown Princess." Jingxue took the initiative. After all, she had fought for the opportunity herself.

Nian Susu already has a candidate in mind, and it's not Jingxue. However, if he doesn't give her a chance, with Jingxue's personality, she will definitely think that he is targeting her and will not let it go.

So Nian Susu planned to be fair and make her lose completely.

Jingxue and another palace maid who looked very honest were picked out, but only one person could be chosen, so they needed to rely on their own abilities.

The question given by Nian Su Su was: "I give you the key to the treasury for safekeeping. One day, I suddenly find that 500,000 silver coins are missing from the treasury account. What will you do?"

She gave the two of them a quarter of an hour to think, and Jingxue raised her hand to answer in less than half a quarter of an hour. She glared at her competitor triumphantly, and her arrogant attitude seemed to determine her to win the competition.

Nian Susu was very curious about her answer, and gestured for her to answer with a smile.

Jing Xueluoluo answered generously: "I will report to His Highness, and ask His Highness to send someone to investigate who stole the 500,000 silver coins. After catching the thief, expel him from the East Palace!"

Her solution was absolutely perfect!

Nian Susu frowned and sighed. Jingxue really did not disappoint her. She was not very cunning and her business ability was average.
