Xu Minglan looked at her, her face suddenly turning red and she turned away. Xu Mingwei did not know what she was feeling awkward about, but just as she was hesitating whether or not he should stand by her side, Fu Ninghui saw her and waved at her with a warm smile.
Xu Mingwei then walked to her side and stood.
The one in the front wearing a crimson red dress is the youngest daughter of the Assistant Minister of Revenue, her surname is Zhou, and her name is Rangxing. She was blown away by the wind yesterday and has been sleeping in her room all afternoon. When she saw Xu Mingwei sizing up the little girl, she explained in a soft voice.
After looking around, the twins seemed to be the shortest. The Eldest Princess walked to Zuo Youzhu's side silently. It seemed like she was a little taller than the twins. At the same time, Zuo Youzhu was so scared that he was about to cry. Eldest Princess had been staring at her silently for almost a quarter of an hour. Mother, what is she trying to do?
Eldest Princess stood by Zuo Youzhu's side and watched him for a long time. After confirming that she wouldn't be the shortest in the future, she finally walked away with satisfaction and sized up her other companions.
Xu Minglan was standing beside the twins. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw Eldest Princess walking towards him, looking both nervous and excited. She subconsciously straightened his back. She was originally the oldest and tallest, but now that she had straightened her back, Eldest Princess felt that it was a bit boring and directly walked past her.
Xu Minglan:...
Before she could understand what was happening, she suddenly heard Eldest Princess ask a person, "Which family are you from? How old are you?
Xu Minglan couldn't hold back her curiosity any longer. She turned her head to look, and sure enough, as she had expected, the one who was captured and asked the question was Xu Mingwei. When she realized that she had been rude, she realized that everyone in the hall was looking at Xu Mingwei with the same shocked and astonished eyes as her.
Xu Mingwei had never been praised so openly. Seeing that everyone was staring at her because of Eldest Princess's words, she became even calmer, and her face immediately turned completely red. The princess did not reply to her question, so she turned around and replied softly, "Thank you, Eldest Princess, for your praise. This subject is the daughter of the Cabinet's Great Scholar Xu Tiangang, and is five years old this year. "
When the Eldest Princess heard that she was around her age, she immediately felt close to him. Ever since she was young, she liked beautiful people, and even the close ones who served her were all palace maids and eunuchs that the empress specially selected.
As an experienced member of the Appearance Association, even the few reading companions all had their heads lowered. Just now, Eldest Princess had noticed Xu Mingwei, and under the cover of her black hair, her skin was extremely smooth, and revealed a luster that was as lustrous as ivory. Just by this point, she was already half a beauty. When Xu Mingwei raised her head, the Eldest Princess was nearly stunned by the little beauty in front of him. The words' flattering 'and' admiring 'that she had read in the ancient book were finally true. She couldn't hold back her excitement for a while, so she finally saw the scene above.
The people who came with Eldest Princess all knew their master's personality, when they saw Xu Mingwei's real appearance, they were shocked. No wonder the Eldest Princess lost her composure, she was already a beauty at the age of five, who knew how she would grow up to be.
"What month were you a stranger? I had my birthday in March, just over last month. " When Eldest Princess spoke, he kept staring at Xu Mingwei. If not for Xu Mingwei's mental fortitude being so strong, she would have been seen as a problem.
"To return to the Eldest Princess, this subject's daughter's birthday is in June. She is three months younger than Your Highness."
"That's great!" Eldest Princess laughed as she clapped her hands, "So I should call you sister. I even thought that the people here were older than me."
Eldest Princess suddenly remembered something and looked at Xu Mingwei's head for a long time. In the end, she sighed, feeling somewhat discouraged.
and the others were completely confused by her sigh. Senior Servant Liu stood at the side, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Although the Xu family's seven girls was younger than him by three months, she was taller than him by half a hand. The Eldest Princess must currently be feeling depressed.
The Senior Servant Liu was afraid that the more she thought about it, the more frustrated she became, so she smiled and interrupted, "Your Highness Eldest Princess, the great master will be coming over very soon. You still have a few reading partners, so you should get familiar with him as soon as possible, then when the great master comes, it will be difficult to speak."
After being reminded by her, Eldest Princess finally mustered his courage and met with the rest one by one. After recognizing her, she did not forget to run back and hold Xu Mingwei's hand, and laughed: "Seventh Sister will follow me today, I feel very close to you whenever I see you."
Xu Mingwei nodded her head, looking back at the crowd's reaction with her eyes, he still did not show any signs of loosening in his expression, but when Fu Ninghui looked at her, she gave her an encouraging smile, and Zuo Youlan's two small snow-white faces, seemed to still have not recovered from the shock of being stared at by the Eldest Princess for a long time. Xu Minglan's gaze at her was obviously filled with envy, and also fury, but Zhou Ranxing who had only met her once yesterday, was filled with malice when she looked at her, and when she realized that Xu Mingwei was looking at her, she immediately covered up her envious and resentful expression.
In the end, it was because they were still young and everyone wasn't that good at concealing their emotions, that allowed Xu Mingwei to clearly see everyone's temperament and personality in an instant. She also secretly became wary of Zhou Ranxing.
At the same time Xu Mingwei observed everyone, Senior Servant Liu also watched the reaction of the children. After observing her for a while, she started to have a favorable impression of the Fu family's daughter. Ignoring the fact that he was well-informed and had a bit of a smile on his face, he did not pretend to be amiable. He genuinely had good intentions towards others, which was why he seemed so rare and precious. The palace had seen too much scheming and scheming, only those who stayed in dark corners all year round yearned for light, this was the feeling Senior Servant Liu had towards Fu Ninghui.
As for Xu Mingwei, she was too mature at such a young age, so she couldn't tell at all. However, looking at how close she was with Miss Fu, she couldn't be wrong. What's more, Eldest Princess liked her too. With Xu Mingwei this mature person suppressing her by her side, maybe it would be able to calm her down a little.
As for the little daughter of the Zhou family, Senior Servant Liu turned her head to look at her again. She did not know how such a person had been chosen to enter the palace, but from the looks of her eyes, it seemed that she was not an easy person to get along with. Senior Servant Liu could not help but be curious about the Zhou Family's young lady. She was only six years old, how could she be brought into such a crooked situation by her family? Usually, as the direct daughter, she would be doted on by her parents and wouldn't have to be like the concubinage to please the mistress. She should be more pure in nature.
When the Senior Servant Liu heard this, he hurriedly asked the young eunuch to invite his two masters in.
Yesterday, everyone was only focused on listening to her talk about the rules of the palace, so they forgot to look at the people. Only now when they looked carefully, did they realise that Senior Servant Liu looked to be no older than 25 or 26, with no wrinkles at the corner of her eyes, she was very young.
Eldest Princess seemed to be used to it, but she did not mind as well. She still arranged the chores for the Senior Servant Liu, and she wholeheartedly pulled Xu Mingwei to her seat.
Although the Eldest Princess was strong, Xu Mingwei did not dare to pull on her too forcefully, and was pulled down on the ground by the Eldest Princess.
Seeing that she was fidgeting, Senior Servant Liu who was standing by the side, nodded his head and smiled to her. Then, Xu Mingwei sat down.
She had just sat down when Master Fang and the Master Liang walked in from outside. This time, Eldest Princess finally let go of her hands, stood up and respectfully bowed to the two masters. "Longevity greets the two masters."
