What a tragedy!!!

“Your Majesty.” Just when Jing Yue went to the bed, Xing Yi called outside the door.

“Have a good rest.” Xiao Chen glanced at Jing Yue and turned away. Jing Yue stared after him as he left, and vaguely heard the talk coming from outside the door.

“Your Majesty, we’ve made it clear.”

“Let’s talk it in the study.” The sound faded. Jing Yue frowned for not hearing any information! What on earth had they found?!

In the next ten days, Jing Yue once again lived a pig-like life. In hot summer, Jing Yue became pickier in her meals. She’d like to eat this at one time, and that at the next moment, bringing a lot of troubles on the cooks of the mansion. They cooked in anxiety every day for fear that Jing Yue couldn’t be satisfied and rejected their dishes.

“Oh… it’s really great.” Jing Yue looked at the scar on her foot with eyes gleaming. She didn’t expect her burn to recover in ten days. Xiao Chen indeed found a magic medicine!

“Your Highness, are you sure that you can participate in the assessment?” Yin Qiao asked Jing Yue with deep concern in her eyes.

“Don’t worry, it’s just an etiquette assessment, they won’t ask me to run. Everything will be ok.” Jing Yue stood up and walked a few steps, feeling nothing uncomfortable. It was just her skin not the bone that was hurt, which couldn’t be a big problem.

“You’d better be careful, I heard that the Empress Dowager would come to supervise the assessment.” Yin Qiao said with a small sigh of relief after seeing Jing Yue walking freely with not the slightest discomfort detected.

“Why I should fear the Empress Dowager? I didn’t annoy her.” Jing Yue rolled her eyes indifferently.

“Your Highness, you shouldn’t think like that. The Imperial Consort has a good relationship with the Empress Dowager. Who knows if she will speak ill of you?” Yin Qiao pursed her mouth and grumbled.

Jing Yue frozen while hearing this, thinking to herself, “How could I forget this? Fu Ruoqing is difficult to deal with. It seems that I should still take the assessment seriously!”

On the next morning, Jing Yue was awakened and cleaned up, then went to the place of assessment. The carriage of Xiao Chen was just waiting outside the mansion, which shocked Jing Yue. She didn’t see Xiao Chen in the morning when she woke up and guessed that he might have something important to deal with. However, she didn’t expect he had been waiting for her at the gate.

“Why are you free to escort me today?” Jing Yue wore the uniform of the school with a light makeup, which made her look so delicate and attractive on the premise that she closed up her mouth and stayed silent.

Xiao Chen looked at Jing Yue, who was sitting opposite him. He was a bit stunned by her beauty before he saw Jing Yue lying down on the soft couch in such a random and undisciplined manner that was completely inconsistent with her elegant outfit.

“Same direction.” Xiao Chen uttered two words with smiles in his eyes.

Indeed, the nature of this lady could never be changed even after such long etiquette training.

It was really good.

The etiquette training would be held in a royal residence outside the palace, where was set up as a special assessment point and all the relevant people in the palace would be present. Many people were already there when Jing Yue arrived. Those madams who accompanied their daughters were sitting under the stage while the judge seats were still empty.

There might be the seats of the Empress Dowager, the Empress and the Imperial Consorts as well as other female judges serving in the palace. It was quite a big occasion.
