Without mentioning anything else, the age of longevity was precisely the time when one liked to imitate others. He learned from a kid in the academy without any rules or rules, so he would have to stir up some trouble later on. The Queen was so angry that she scolded the Xiao Fei and the others a few times. She couldn't even teach her children well, so she could only look at them with her face.

When the court case came out, the order to accept the ladies of the palace the next day was sent to the selected house, catching everyone off guard. Many of the things were not tidied up in time, and they were even provisionally prepared.

Xu Minglan had been ignoring Xu Mingwei ever since she got on the carriage. She had Xi Shi to retie the braid for him later and she would help him massage the corners of her skirt to the point that she had to frown.

Xu Mingwei thought about the worries in her own courtyard. As she heard the conversation between Xu Minglan and Xi Shi, the two of them, the carriage had unknowingly stopped in front of the Inner Palace.

After passing through this door, they would officially enter the palace.

After being invited out of the carriage by the palace guards, Xu Minglan saw the vermillion bronze gate clearly. When she changed her previous excitement, she became suddenly nervous, and refused to let go of Xi Shi's hand no matter what. In the end, it was only Xu Mingwei who stepped forward and held her hand, allowing her to slowly calm down, and she was willing to follow everyone else in.

Xu Mingwei did not know whether they had come early or late. Although she and Xu Minglan had already washed their bodies at home once and entered the Inner Palace, they were then brought to the big pond to wash once. When she was done changing her clothes and rearranging her hair, she found that all the girls from three families had already arrived. Hearing them walk in, the three little girls looked around curiously.

He saw that they were all about the same age. One of them was a little girl wearing a red brocade dress, and she was also the only one who smiled at them. Her cheeks revealed deep dimples, making her look very cute.

Xu Mingwei could not help but have a good impression of her, but with the palace maid, this was the first time the girls had entered the palace, and they were a little restrained, no one said a word. She could only smile and greet the little girl, then stand at the side together with Xu Minglan and wait.

Not long after, another two young girls came from outside the hall. They were perhaps the youngest among the group in the last month, and appeared to be a bit shorter than everyone else. Xu Mingwei looked closer, it was actually a pair of twins. It was just that the two of them were not wearing the same clothes, and she did not notice it at the start. Although they were dressed differently, the expressions on their faces were surprisingly identical. They looked both ignorant and scared, like frightened little quail.

At this time, the girl wearing the purple satin dress tripped over her heel and fell down. Fortunately, the court lady was careful and caught her in time. Perhaps it was because she was really scared, tears immediately gushed out of the little girl's round eyes. She pursed her lips and was about to cry loudly, but the maid that brought her immediately covered her with her hand.

"Don't cry, Eldest Princess will be unhappy. She will be beaten." The court lady thought that her words would scare her to the point of stopping her tears, but she didn't expect that she would make a mistake and become even more scared. Seeing that she was about to lose her teasing, that tall girl ran up, giggling as she pulled out a set of dolls from her sleeve and untied them one by one for the child to see.

He saw that the glazed porcelain doll the size of a child's palm had been twisted at the waist. There was even an identical blessing doll inside. Even though it was slightly smaller, its movements were still consistent. The child was immediately captivated. His large eyes were still filled with tears, but he had no intention of crying. He only stared at the tall girl's hands.

When the alarm was lifted, the court lady clearly let out a sigh of relief. Seeing that the child was finally no longer crying, she took the lead and led the two sisters to stand at the side.

The one who didn't cry was helping the younger sister wipe her tears away while holding a handkerchief. The two little kids looked at each other like they were taking good care of each other, but Xu Mingwei couldn't help but look back at the tall girl who was also sizing him up, her eyes filled with friendly curiosity, and couldn't help but think that the reading partner in the palace wasn't as bored as he imagined.

At least there are a few interesting people among the friends I've seen so far.

Perhaps it was only when all of them had arrived that the people from the palace informed the main character. Before long, Senior Servant Liu, whom Xu Mingwei had met before, brought a few palace maids over. She first looked at the crowd's attire with satisfaction, and when her gaze landed on the twins, it was obvious that there was a shock in her eyes. The little girl who was being stared at immediately hid behind her sister, afraid that she would be called out by the Senior Servant Liu.

Xu Mingwei sighed in her heart, as expected, she served the empress the longest, her gaze was truly amazing.

But the Senior Servant Liu did not investigate further, she looked at the few young ladies once more, then cleared her throat and spoke to them.

"Ladies must also know why they were sent to the palace by their parents. At this point, the old servant was bold enough to explain the rules of the palace to the ladies. Compared to other places, everyone here is a precious object on the palm of your parents, but here, there is only one identity, and that is servants. "

When the Senior Servant Liu said this, a few older children's faces revealed dissatisfaction, especially Xu Minglan's, eyebrows almost raised up. Xu Mingwei was afraid that she would cause trouble so she immediately extended his hand to pull her sleeve.

Xu Minglan turned her head and glared at her, as if he was dissatisfied that she had lost the character of a noble daughter, and wanted to let a servant insult her.

All of their movements were seen by Senior Servant Liu, and the gaze in which she looked at Xu Mingwei became a little more probing. A child who was only five years old, how could she be born with such a tactful manner, her personality was so restrained that she did not seem like a child anymore.

She then looked at the noble ladies who had discontented expressions on their faces. Right, this kind of reaction made sense.

Xu Mingwei did not know that her small action had successfully attracted the attention of the Senior Servant Liu, making him the number one person on the list.

After a short pause, Senior Servant Liu had already understood everyone's personality, she turned a blind eye to the girls' arrogant expressions, and continued with a smile, "Ladies, if you don't have such thoughts, why don't you ask your family members to bring them back as soon as possible. The Emperor is the ruler of the world, and even your father and uncles are only there to take care of the rivers and mountains for the Emperor. Now, if it's you serving Eldest Princess, accompanying him in school would also be the same. Other than the Eldest Princess, there was no other master in the academy, so the old servant advised the ladies, don't remember your original identity too much, and put on airs in front of the palace maids. One must know that in this palace, no matter how honorable, one cannot be a member of the royal family. "

She looked at Xu Minglan and the others with a hint of meaning in her eyes, but it was as if she was calmly warning them, "As the daughter of a princess, if you all were not diligent in your studies, affecting Eldest Princess's lessons, or intentionally luring her to be lazy and play tricks, forget about me telling you all in advance, at that time, the palace will definitely punish you all harshly, regardless of who the family's daughter is, or what kind of important position your father holds in the court. If you do not do well, not only will you be punished for your disgrace, but I'm afraid you will also implicate your family in having a bad reputation as goddaughters. "
