During the selection process, the Queen Mother asked a few questions, such as whether she could read and write, and then gave her a badge and a sachet.

Jiu Ning didn't dare to make any mistakes, not knowing what the consequences would be, but given her father's official position, entering the palace was inevitable.

After leaving the palace, she greeted Zhen Huan and left quickly despite Zhen Huan's attempts to stop her. She ignored the nanny who was talking to Zhen Huan and no one knew what they talked about.

Caixing and Caiyue came forward with a smile and supported Jiuning: "Congratulations, Miss. Congratulations, Miss. I'm sure the master and the mistress will be very happy when they know about it."

The two maids in front of her would also follow her into the palace and were also loyal: "Let's go back!"

She stepped onto the carriage bench and suddenly remembered that they had no place to live yet: "Let's find a house to settle down first!"

Three days later, the palace official and the teaching nanny will arrive. Take advantage of these few days to take a good tour of the capital. Once you enter the palace, you will never have the chance to come out.

I first went to the temple to draw lots, and then went to the pharmacy, where I got some tonic medicine for my body. I also prepared some milk, honey, etc. to take good care of my skin.

When she came back at night, the coachman informed her that someone from the Zhen Mansion had come today and invited her to go over for a chat. Jiu Ning agreed and asked the coachman to prepare some gifts for her and visit the Zhen Mansion tomorrow.

This is a small binary courtyard that we rent temporarily. Although it is not big, it has all the necessary items.

"Miss, the water is ready. Would you like to take a bath now?"

Jiuning nodded happily. She was a little in love with this ancient feudal system.

Caixing and Caiyue were there to help her bathe, scrub her back, wash her hair, and change her clothes.

Before going to bed, she did another set of yoga. Caixing left, and Caiyue wanted to stay to keep watch, so she sat on the footstool beside the bed.

"Don't keep watch tonight. Go and rest on the couch outside. You've been tired all day."

Caiyue only felt that the girl was much more lively than usual this day. She thought that she was happy about being chosen. They were also happy for the girl, so she didn't think much about it and turned to go outside.

After breakfast the next day, the group drove a carriage to Zhen's mansion. In front of the alley of Zhen's mansion, a carriage suddenly appeared at the corner. Although the two horses did not collide with each other, they seemed to be a little startled and raised their hooves and neighed.

Jiu Ning was sitting in the carriage when she suddenly felt a push on her back. She lost her balance and fell into the carriage, gasping in pain.

Suddenly, a man's voice rang out from outside the carriage: "I'm so sorry, the carriage was in a hurry and I didn't want to disturb the girl. Is there anything wrong with you?"

Cai Xing's eyebrows raised, and her temper flared up instantly. She raised her hand and forcefully opened the curtain: "This young man is so reckless. With the carriage moving so violently, how could my girl not get hurt?"

Wen Shichu bowed and said, "I am an imperial physician in the palace. I don't know where the young lady is going, but I can help you heal her."

Jiu Ning moved her hurt foot, and a piercing pain came over her. Her shoulder seemed to be injured as well. Women in ancient times were really delicate. When they were on campus, they didn't fight or play around, so it was normal for them to bump into each other.

Jiu Ning gently lifted the curtain. The man was wearing a long green gown. His temperament was as gentle as jade. His eyes were clear and full of apology. He could see through people at a glance. The half-moon hair style of the Qing Dynasty did not affect his handsome face at all.

"Sir, don't worry about it. It was just an accident. We were visiting a friend today, and since this happened, we decided to head home. It's not far away."

Wen Shichu looked up and saw through the curtain a face with extremely stunning features, so beautiful that it could grab all the attention and he couldn't take his eyes off it.

Jiu Ning: "If you feel guilty, why don't you come back with me and treat my injuries?"

Wen Shichu: "Please lead the way, young lady."

Leaving one person behind to report the news to Zhen's house, Wen Shichu's carriage followed Jiu Ning back to the small courtyard.

After getting off the carriage, Jiu Ning was in trouble when she wanted to enter the yard. The threshold at the entrance was a bit high and she couldn't jump in!

Seeing Wen Shichu's serious look, Jiuning couldn't help but tease him. Jiuning frowned and turned to look at Wen Shichu pitifully and said, "Sir, my feet hurt and I can't get in. What should I do?"

When Wen Shichu saw the stars in her eyes and her pitiful look, he raised his hand without thinking, but the moment it touched Jiuning's arm, he retracted it.

Jiu Ning stood still, secretly pinching the little flesh on his waist. Tears instantly filled his eyes, and he looked fragile and helpless: "Sir, can you help me?"

After saying that, she raised her little face, tears rolling in her eyes. Should she let them fall? Wen Shichu suppressed his impulse, hesitating and not daring to reach out, his face full of conflicted expression.

Finally feeling bad, he reached out to help. Jiu Ning raised his arms and before the man could react, he put his arms around his neck and jumped lightly.

Wen Shichu subconsciously caught the person and held him in his arms, his body so stiff that he couldn't move.

"How long are you going to hold me? Just take a few steps forward," Wen Shichu finally reacted and strode into the house.

The furnishings in the house were very simple, with just a few tables and chairs, nothing else. Wen Shichu couldn't help but start to imagine if there were other relatives in the house.

Jiu Ning pointed at the bed. Wen Shichu blushed and put her on the bed stiffly: "Please stretch out your hand, young lady, so I can feel your pulse." He turned his face away, not daring to look up.

Jiuning raised her fair wrist and handed it over. Although Caixing and Caiyue were standing beside her, Wen Shichu still lost his doctor mentality and kept stealing glances at Jiuning inadvertently.

He first took her pulse, then checked her. Jiuning stretched out his calf, lifted his trouser leg, revealing a jade-like ankle.

Wen Shichu's fingers trembled slightly as he gently pressed the red and swollen area, as if holding it in his hand, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

"The young lady is seriously injured. I will write down the prescription later and prepare some ointment for her. Please take it on time."

Jiuning agreed with a smile. Wen Shichu gave him a few simple instructions and left as if he was escaping.

"Sir, we will meet again." Jiuning said to himself.

She was going to live here for the rest of her life. Yinzhen had only been in power for a dozen years, and he was already in his forties. The original owner liked Wen Shichu, and she liked him too.

She knew how the original owner had hidden it in the palace, but Wen Shichu was too nice, so she didn't know whether she should involve him.

On the second day, an imperial decree arrived from the palace, accompanied by a teaching nanny: "By the will of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that Shen Meizhuang, daughter of Shen Zishan, be promoted to a noble lady and enter the palace on September 13th. This is my decree!"
