"My two princesses, this is the Chuxiu Palace." The Shi Nanxi and her sister followed the palace servants through the numerous palace gates and finally arrived at the Chuxiu Palace.

Shi Nanxi took a look inside. It was very lively inside. There were beauties chatting in groups of three or four. The older ones looked seventeen or eighteen years old, while the younger ones were only thirteen or fourteen years old. When they saw her and Shi Rongyue, some were curious and some nodded slightly.

At this time, a maid came out. She was wearing a green jacket and her hair was combed meticulously. When she saw the Shi Nanxi sisters, she bowed first and then asked:

"Which family are these two princesses from?"

Shi Rongyue walked all the way in the flower pot bottoms. She was so excited that she didn't sleep last night. Now that the excitement had passed, she was so tired that she wanted to fall asleep immediately, so she didn't say anything. Seeing this, Shi Nanxi could only whisper back:

"Madam, we are the eldest and youngest daughters of the Third-rank Earl Shi Wenbing. This one is my eldest sister."

Hearing this, the nanny, who had originally had a serious expression, changed slightly. Shi Nanxi saw it and knew that it must be someone in the palace who had given advance notice.

Sure enough, the other party looked at Shi Rongyue twice more, but he did not try to please her like the previous chief eunuch did. Instead, he said sternly:

"So you are a princess from the Guarjia clan. My surname is Yang. I have been appointed by the Empress Dowager to be the head nanny to manage you during the re-election period."

"All the selected beauties this year will be arranged in the Chuxiu Palace. Since you two are sisters, you can live in the same room. Please follow me."

Shi Nanxi and the other person followed Nanny Yang to a room in the side hall. They pushed open the door and saw that the room was not big, divided into two rooms, the outer room had a table and desk, and was separated from the inner room by a pearl chain. The inner room had a bunk bed and a soft couch.

"My two ladies, this is where you will live in the palace for a month. During this month, you need to learn palace rules and etiquette, how to behave, sit and lie down, embroidery skills, etc. If you need anything, you can ask me for help, but..."

Nanny Yang suddenly raised her voice and her eyes became stern:

"During this period, anyone who violates palace rules, walks around without permission, causes trouble, or does not do his or her duty, no matter who it is..."

Her sharp gaze swept across Shi Rongyue's distracted face:

"All of them shall be reported to the Queen Mother for disposal."

Shi Rongyue was immediately startled awake and answered right away, but she was wondering in her heart whether the Qing Dynasty was full of "Madame Rong", and each one of them was so scary.

Shi Nanxi also nodded timidly.

Nanny Yang frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. Instead, she slowed down her tone and warned:

"Well, today is the day of the preliminary selection. Currently, the Zhenshun Gate has not finished yet. When everything is finished at noon, I will tell you all the princesses about their specific daily schedules and the etiquette and palace rules they need to learn during their stay in the palace."

"The two ladies can do as they please, but they are not allowed to leave the Chuxiu Palace. I will take my leave first."

After Nanny Yang left, Shi Rongyue let out a long sigh:

"Ah, I'm finally done. I'm so tired and sleepy!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to stretch. Seeing this, Shi Nanxi quickly grabbed the other person's hand and signaled with his eyes that Zixia and Hongying were in the room.

Shi Rongyue followed the line of sight and then she remembered that there were two people. She put down her half-extended arm and said irritably:

"We got up too early and we're all sleepy. Go get a basin of water so we can wash up and wake up."

"Yes, Grid."

After everyone else had left, Shi Rongyue stretched without hesitation, lay back on the couch, yawned and said:

"This is too much of a lack of freedom. Even stretching has to be done secretly."

Shi Nanxi was also sleepy, but she used to get up early and go to bed late for work, so now she can hold on.

But seeing Shi Rongyue's look, she felt it necessary to remind her that they had just passed the preliminary round and it was far from time to relax, so she slowly walked to the soft couch, looked at the drowsy Shi Rongyue, and whispered:

"Eldest sister, don't go to sleep yet."

"What's going on!"

Shi Rongyue's voice was nasal and impatient, his eyes were half closed, and he looked like he would fall asleep at any moment.

"Eldest sister, I didn't mean to disturb you. But before I left, I heard my mother repeatedly tell me that some families in the capital knew that you were the designated Crown Princess. They knew that they couldn't marry the Crown Prince, so they were jealous of you and kept an eye on you all the time, trying to find something to hold against you and bring you down. They told you to be careful in the palace and not let your guard down."

In ancient times, people were responsible for collective punishment. Please don’t implicate me.

Hearing this, Shi Rongyue finally opened her eyes, with a few red streaks in them due to sleepiness. She looked at her adopted sister who was squatting in front of her and took a serious look at her for the first time.

She has a small oval face with a modern-style air bangs on her forehead, which vaguely reveals her eyebrows and eyes, giving people a fresh and natural feeling.

Under the bangs, a pair of watery almond eyes looked up at her, clear and clean, as pure and flawless as a deer.

Shi Rongyue couldn't help but pursed her lips and muttered to herself, I didn't expect this girl to be so pure and beautiful.

However, perhaps because she had been sick for many years, her face was not as rosy as that of ordinary people, but rather pale, and her expression was timid and weak. One could tell at a glance that she had no opinion and no self, and her body was thin and weak, like a bean sprout. On the contrary, her body was well developed.

Although she was only sixteen years old, her breasts were already bulging. After her period, she was no longer as shy as her original self who had developed so well that she had to ask the nanny to wrap her with a layer of white cloth to cover up her advantages.

She took off the white cloth wrapped around her and put on the bra specially made for her by the nanny. She straightened her waist, revealing her graceful and charming figure. With her beautiful oval face, big eyes, and high nose bridge, she looked dignified and elegant, yet sexy and charming.

She was very satisfied with this. Thinking of this, she put aside the jealousy that had just emerged and nodded nonchalantly:

"I understand. Just take care of yourself."

She has read so many Qing Dynasty novels and knows much more than Shi Nanxi, a native, and yet she still needs her reminders.

As soon as Shi Nanxi saw this, she knew that the other party did not take her words to heart, so she did not try to persuade her anymore. She would know the answer when she suffered a loss.

At this time, Zixia and Hongying, who had gone to fetch water, came back and helped Shi Nanxi and the other person to wash up. After washing up, Shi Rongyue became more energetic.

She heard the noise outside, her eyes turned, and she said to Shi Nanxi:

"Come on, let's go outside and take a look."

"Can……"

Shi Nanxi was a little hesitant, but she wasn't really hesitant. She was just timid by nature. With Shi Rongyue, a time-traveling girl, in front of her, she had to protect her identity and not let any suspicion show.

Shi Rongyue rolled her eyes secretly when she saw this, walked over and took Shi Nanxi's hand, and whispered in her ear:

"Didn't I tell you that you will obey me once you enter the palace? Let's go out and get some information. As the saying goes, only when you know yourself and the enemy can you win every battle."
