"Eldest sister, what are you looking for?"

After Shi Nanxi was pulled out of the house by Shi Rongyue, she did not stop when she saw someone greeting her, as if she was looking for someone.

Shi Rongyue pulled Shi Nanxi, but his eyes were searching around. Hearing this, he said absentmindedly:

"I'm looking for Sifu..."

When Shi Rongyue was about to say the word "Jin", she finally came to her senses. Although the Fourth Lady was also selected as the successor like her, she had no previous relationship with her. So at the last moment, she changed the word to:

"... Temple Buddha, I'm looking for Temple Buddha."

"Temple Buddha?"

Shi Nanxi blinked her eyes, and suddenly realized that the other party was looking for the Fourth Lady, but she looked puzzled.

Shi Rongyue finally stopped. She looked at Shi Rongyue and lied with his eyes open:

"I heard that there is a Buddhist hall in Chuxiu Palace, which is equivalent to a temple where we can burn incense. I want to pray to the Buddha to bless us sisters and have a smooth trip, so that we can all achieve our wishes."

It's quite clever. Shi Nanxi praised it in her heart, but her face showed a look of sudden enlightenment:

"I see. My eldest sister really has good intentions."

Although Shi Rongyue did not have this purpose, after seeing Shi Nanxi's reaction, she was ready to take the opportunity to brainwash this cheap sister again.

“So I asked you to listen…”

"Hey, isn't this the eldest princess of the Shi family?" A shrill female voice suddenly interrupted Shi Rongyue's words.

Sister Shi Nanxi looked in the direction of the voice and saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old woman in Manchu clothing holding a hand warmer slowly walking towards them, followed closely by a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl.

She looked at the Shi Rongyue sisters, or more precisely, at Shi Rongyue, and said with a half-smile:

"I haven't seen you for a while, but Grand Princess Shi actually brought her sister... to come to the exam last minute. It's really unexpected!"

Shi Nanxi didn't know the other person, but Shi Rongyue obviously knew him. She raised her eyebrows when she heard him.

"It turns out to be Sister Socho Luo Jiahui. What's wrong with cramming at the last minute? It's quite useful. You might as well give it a try, lest you fail to achieve your goal again this time!" Humph, she is just a defeated general of the original body.

"you……"

Suochu Luo Jiahui's pretty face immediately turned pale. They were both candidates for the Crown Princess before, but this one snatched the position of Crown Princess by relying on his pretense. Now he was arrogantly mocking her. He tightened his grip on the hand warmer and she suddenly sneered:

"I don't know if I can get what I want, but I think someone has finally realized that he is not very talented, virtuous, or good-looking. Now I can only pray to the Buddha that he will not be rejected halfway."

As if she was the dreamer to be the Crown Princess, Shi Rongyue secretly rolled her eyes but pretended to be puzzled: "Returning the goods halfway?"

She deliberately looked at him with a look of astonishment and disbelief, and when he felt uncomfortable being looked at, she said quietly:

"Unlike my younger sister, who thinks she is a commodity. I find it hard to understand what my younger sister is saying because my older sister and I are not of the same species."

After saying that, she held back her laughter, pulled Shi Nanxi away quickly, and after they had walked for a distance, she let Shi Nanxi go and burst into laughter.

"I am dying of laughter. You still want to mock me. This is called stealing a chicken but losing the rice."

"Eldest sister, it turns out you can play tricks on people."

Shi Nanxi also felt relieved, but Shi Rongyue was too proud and forgot that she was wearing the body of a dignified and steady "future Crown Princess". And this was in the palace, with eyes everywhere, so she had to keep a close eye on her.

Shi Rongyue's laughter froze when she heard this. She had just forgotten her original temper for a moment. She quickly stopped laughing, straightened her back, and tried to make amends for herself:

"My eldest sister is also a young person, and sometimes she gets angry. She was just angry just now and forgot her etiquette."

"I see. Then sister, don't forget what mother told you before you go!"

Shi Nanxi nodded obediently, as if she hadn't noticed anything.

"I know, long-winded."

On the other side, Suochao Luo Jiahui finally reacted after a while, and immediately screamed, getting angry and almost going crazy. She started to chase after him, but Li Jiamingxiu beside her quickly held her back.

"Cousin, cousin, don't be impulsive, this is the palace!"

"Didn't you hear that bitch calling me a non-human? How can I swallow this?" Socho Luojiahui's eyes turned red with anger.

Li Jiaming secretly cursed him as an idiot, but held the other person tightly.

"Before she left, my aunt told me to keep an eye on you and not to let you act impulsively. Besides, the other party is the designated Crown Princess. You can't get rid of this anger even if you catch up with her!"

Hearing this, Socho Luo Jiahui became even more angry. It was obvious that the position of Crown Princess should have been hers, but it was the other party who snatched her position away. Now she was bullying her by relying on her status as the future Crown Princess. This was really too much.

Li Jiamingxiu's eyes flickered when he saw this, and he leaned close to the other person's ear and whispered:

"Cousin, why do you have to be angry with Princess Shi? Although she is the designated Crown Princess, she has just passed the preliminary selection and nothing is decided yet..."

The last sentence she said had a deeper meaning.

Suochu Luo Jiahui thought of something at this time, and a cold smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth:

"My cousin is right. We have to stay in the palace for another month. Anything can happen."

Upon hearing this, Li Jiamingxiu lowered his eyes to hide the gleam in his eyes.

On the other side, Shi Rongyue finally met the future Fourth Lady, who was only ten years old this year, just a little girl.

She is just over 1.3 meters tall, with a small round face and eyes that are neither big nor small. She looks quite mellow, or to use ancient words, she has a blessed appearance. However, men don't like this type of person. No wonder she has never been favored by the Fourth Master in her entire life.

"Why does Princess Shi look at her sister like this?"

Ulanala Hesui didn't know why Shi Rongyue had been staring at her since he arrived. She felt confused and a little uneasy.

Shi Rongyue came back to her senses, she tucked her hair around her ears and smiled confidently:

"Nothing, I just wondered if Sister Nala didn't get enough rest last night. She saw some dark circles under her eyes."

Wulanala Hesui subconsciously touched her eyes. She had a hunch that the other party was not looking at this, but she pretended not to know.

"I didn't sleep well."

Dong Jia Gege, who was standing nearby, echoed this, and then everyone started talking about how they were nervous and sleepless because of the talent show.

Shi Nanxi listened silently at the side. She didn't hear anything practical until she heard a lady named Tong saying that Concubine Ping in the palace had just given birth to a little prince, but the little prince was not in good health. As a result, the emperor would take time out to visit her even though he was very busy recently.

She was moved and took a look at the other person. The other person was from the Tong family, Kangxi's mother's family. He was older than them and was already 24 years old this year.

Obviously, she was still unmarried at this age, and yet she made an exception and participated in the selection. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was targeting Kangxi in the palace.

The other party also considered himself older and was generous and tolerant in every way, and the look in his eyes when he looked at them was full of the satisfaction of an elder.

However, she noticed that when the other party mentioned Concubine Ping, a flash of jealousy quickly appeared in her eyes. Obviously, both of them were the concubine sisters of Kangxi's former queen, but the other party entered the palace at a young age and had already given birth to a prince, while she had to enter the palace at the age of 24 with a group of "juniors". How could she not feel unfair?

Shi Nanxi remembered that Concubine Ping lived in Changchun Palace not far from Chuxiu Palace, so she secretly wrote down this potentially useful information.
