A total of more than thirty girls were led to the Imperial Garden.

The tables and chairs were arranged in the imperial garden early in the morning. When the girls arrived, they found a place to sit down by themselves.

Bai Jintong didn't know the girls here. She sat alone in a corner and no one talked to her, which made her feel relieved.

The other girls sat in groups of three or four, talking in low voices.

Someone would glance at Bai Jintong from time to time and whisper to her.

"Whose girl is that?"

"I don't know. I've never seen it."

"How did she know the little princess?

It looks like he is very familiar with the little princess."

"Who knows.

Maybe some tricks were used.”

"That's right. The little princess is so arrogant. I've never seen her treat that outsider well."

Bai Jintong was not deaf, and everyone was not far away, so she could naturally hear what they were saying.

He sat straighter and his face became more serious.

I am speechless. She is just the daughter of a fifth-rank official. What is she doing?

This imperial garden is so beautiful, with flowers blooming even in the middle of winter. Wouldn’t it be nice to look at the flowers?

If it wasn't allowed, she really wanted to find a place to hide.

I was wondering why it hadn't started yet, when a nanny-like person came over.

"The one wearing a yellow skirt, a purple skirt, and a emerald collar..."

The housekeeper named seven girls in a row and said, "Eliminate them."

The girls, who originally didn't know what was going on, were shocked when they heard the word "eliminated".

“So that the girls know the rules.

The assessment of each girl began as soon as they stepped into the Imperial Garden.

These people came in and started gossiping, so they should be kicked out.”

The first thing to look at is behavior.

It is impossible for an unbecoming person to be around a princess and lead her astray.

"Mommy..."

One girl regretted her decision and was about to plead for mercy, but she was directly "pulled" away by the palace maid and sent out of the palace.

The remaining girls were glad that they had not done anything out of line just now.

They also sat more upright, fearing that they would be eliminated if they did not do something well.

Next, a little palace maid gave pens, ink, paper and inkstone to the girls sitting there.

The housekeeper said, "All the girls know that you are here to participate in the selection of the princess's tutor.

Even if you are a reading companion, it is not enough to just know the characters, you also need to have knowledge.

Therefore, this second level tests your knowledge.

Everyone, please write a poem in the Imperial Garden.

One stick of incense, start!"

The little palace maid lit the incense.

The girls sitting there were all not yet of marriageable age, and few of them were well-educated. Many of them immediately had bitter faces, and the housekeeper eliminated several of them at a glance.

However, I will wait for an incense stick of time before calling the name.

Most girls wrote poems about the flowers in the imperial garden.

Writing poetry is not difficult for Bai Jintong.

She looked around and found that even in this cold winter, she couldn't feel the cold outside in the imperial garden, and there were butterflies dancing among the flowers.

I have to say that the royal family is domineering.

Pick up the pen and put it down:

The winter is cold and snowy, but the flowers are blooming in the warm garden.

The butterfly dances among the flowers, forgetting the colors of transformation.

This was a poem she had made up casually, and it barely passed muster.

In the second round, nine people who wrote poor poems or had ugly handwriting were eliminated, leaving only nineteen people.

Some of the girls who were asked to leave left crying.

Next is the third level.

Since they are selecting study partners for the princesses, of course the princesses have to choose the one they like themselves.

The princesses came over. There were six of them who needed tutoring, and they were all under the age of marriage.

Each princess chooses two reading companions.

Half of the remaining people were girls from the princess's maternal family.

The princesses would naturally choose them, and then match them with another girl they liked. This would also be a benefit for the women of the ministers' families.

This means that in this final round, seven people will be eliminated.

After the first five princesses were chosen, it was the turn of the least favored seventh princess.

She was not the youngest among the princesses, but because of her lowest status, her family had no officials above the fifth rank, and she was also an imperial merchant, so she was usually the one who was excluded.

"Seventh sister, just pick two at random."

The third princess became impatient when she saw that the seventh princess was hesitant and wasting their time.

The remaining nine girls all hoped to be chosen by the seventh princess, including Bai Jintong.

If you don't choose the right one, you will be eliminated.

"Sister, please be my study partner!"

The Seventh Princess inquired and found out that Bai Jintong was the one with the best etiquette and knowledge. When she was about to choose her, a small fiery red figure rushed over and grabbed Bai Jintong's hand.

Then the Queen Mother, the Empress, and other princesses' mothers also came.

All the young ladies were busy paying their respects to the Empress Dowager, the Queen and other concubines.

"Everyone, get up."

Bai Jintong's heart was pounding.

What is this little ancestor doing here?

It seemed that she was about to be chosen by the seventh princess.

"Grandfather, I want this sister!"

Nan Sheng took Bai Jintong's hand and walked up to the Queen Mother.

"This commoner greets the Queen Mother!"

Bai Jintong was forced to pay respect again.

Now she doesn't need to look up to know that everyone is looking at her.

She tried to stay calm, but her nervous face became even more tense.

"She is very pretty. Who is she? I have never seen her before."

"Sister, please answer the ancestor quickly."

Nan Sheng had finally begged the ancestor to agree to let her choose a companion, and for this reason she risked her life to accompany the gentleman to study in the palace.

She is only four years old, and she is going to go to the palace to study...

But in order to marry this beautiful and nice-smelling sister and make her my mother, I might as well study!

Her sacrifice was great.

"To your Majesty, I am Bai Jintong, the second daughter of Doctor Bai Mengshang."

Bai Jintong answered politely, but her heart was actually beating like a drum.

When she said that she was the daughter of a doctor, many of the noble ladies behind her were disdainful in their hearts and even gloated over her misfortune.

Although I don't know why the little princess came and why she chose to be a study companion, although she is young, she is a difficult one to serve.

"Jintong is a good name. Are you willing to be Princess Nansheng's study companion?"

"Of course I am willing."

Bai Jintong didn't care what the reason was. Could she say she didn't want to do it now?

Even if I can, I wouldn't dare.

"Okay, then you must accompany the princess to study well in the future."

"Yes."

Just like that, Bai Jintong, who was originally the princess's study partner, became the county princess's study partner and also a wet nurse.

Those who were chosen laughed at her in their hearts.

Those who were not chosen also cursed her, hoping that she would make a big mistake and anger the princess, and end up in a bad way.

Bai Jintong knew nothing about all this. She was just told to go home and pack her things, and start going to the palace the day after tomorrow to learn the rules.

When Bai Jintong learned that she had to go back to the palace to learn the rules, she really wanted to quit.

"Ding! Mission completed, Wenquxing Brain as reward, please check it!"

When Bai Jintong heard the reward in her mind, she was pleasantly surprised.

This system is specifically designed to pick up the rewards your family needs.

Big brother is saved.

Bai Mengshang and other officials who sent their daughters into the palace quickly finished their work and waited for their daughters at the palace gate early.

The first two groups of people who left were envious of the minister who had not yet waited for his daughter.

Among the third batch, some were happy and some were worried.

Bai Jintong saw her father and nodded, signaling him to leave quickly.

Bai Mengshang greeted his colleagues cheerfully, then got into his own carriage with his daughter.

"How about it?"

Bai Mengshang still wanted to hear his daughter say in person that she had passed.

"Dad, please go home first."

As soon as the carriage arrived at the Bai Mansion, Bai Jintong was about to go back to her parents' courtyard to give her brother a reward, but she was called to the lady's courtyard by a maid.
