“Why did she come in Princess Jingning’s sedan chair?”

“That’s right! What right does a country bumpkin have?”

“Did Princess Jingning lend her the sedan chair because she couldn’t bear to see her alone?”

“I think she most likely complained to Princess Jingning herself!”

“She’s really lucky to meet Princess Jingning…”

The discussion made Su Xiaoxiao the focus of everyone again.

However, to everyone’s surprise, Su Xiaoxiao, who was being pointed at, did not show any nervousness.

It had to be known that many daughters of families who were entering the palace for the first time could not be as calm as her.

“Is she stupid?”

A young lady asked softly.

The others burst out laughing.

A young lady who was quite familiar with Qin Yanran tugged at her sleeve.

“Miss Qin.”

A young lady asked softly.

A young lady who was quite familiar with Qin Yanran tugged at her sleeve.

“Miss Qin.”

Qin Yanran raised her hand and gently touched the shark pearl on her head.

The young lady asked, “She’s from your Qin family. Is she usually so silly?”

Qin Yanran’s expression froze as she said calmly, “Miss Hong, please be careful with your words. ”

Miss Hong curled her lips and went to talk to others.

Qin Yanran had extraordinary looks and talent. She should have been the focus of today, but Su Xiaoxiao’s appearance made everyone’s eyes fall on her.

Not long after, a palace nanny who looked experienced brought them to an open-air garden.

The surroundings were filled with green plants and flowers. In the center was an emerald green lawn.

There was already a table and futon on the lawn.

The nanny dragged out her tone and said, “Please take a seat.”

Everyone found suitable seats and sat down.

When it came to Su Xiaoxiao, there was only a single table in the last row.

Su Xiaoxiao walked over and sat down.

The little fat girl was alone again.

Qin Yanran sat in the first row.

Generally speaking, it took some courage to sit in this position.

Qin Yanran’s strength was outstanding and she was unafraid of any test, so she naturally dared to sit in the first row.

On both sides of her were the daughters of the Leng family and the Jing family.

Su Xiaoxiao looked up. The back of the heads was shining under the sunlight, making her dizzy.

The first assessment was the written test.

Choosing a companion for the princess was not as strict as the imperial examination. The main test was the basic skills of the daughters.

The test paper was divided into two parts: silent book and poetry.

The content of the silent book came from the four books and five scriptures. Every test paper was different, so there was no plagiarism.

The poem was written with spring as the theme. There was no restriction on the use of words, but it had to be original.

Su Xiaoxiao had learned a lot of words from Wei Ting in the countryside. On the way to the capital, she continued to learn from Physician Fu. Now, it was no longer a problem for her to read.

After reading the densely packed test papers, she only sighed. It was not easy for the daughters of ancient times.

After an hour, the eunuchs came over to collect the papers.

“How did you do?” a young lady asked.

“There are two questions that I didn’t answer.”

“Only two questions? I don’t know anything else… Miss Wang, I think you filled them all.”

The daughter of the Wang family smiled. “I wrote it randomly.”

Su Xiaoxiao crossed her arms. She was so familiar with the post-test scene.

The second assessment was painting a peony that the eunuchs had moved over.

Su Xiaoxiao’s performance was average. When others looked at paintings, she looked at them too. When others moved their brushes, she also moved hers.

The invigilator in the corner had noticed her since the last round. However, he was in front at that time and was only switched to the back in the second round.

He saw Su Xiaoxiao writing quickly and majestically. He thought to himself that this girl looked low-key and was most likely an expert.

Then, he couldn’t help but crane his neck to look at Su Xiaoxiao’s painting.

Heavens!

He staggered and almost fell!

Next, they tested music and chess.

Music was an instrument chosen by the daughters who were good at it. They played it live and the musicians of the palace recorded their results.

The results were not announced on the spot.

With Master Zhang’s guidance, Qin Yanran’s zither skills improved by leaps and bounds. Her song “Otherworldly Flying Immortal” stunned everyone.

The pipa of the daughter of the Leng family and the Luanzheng of the daughter of the Jing family also attracted the attention of the musicians.

It was Su Xiaoxiao’s turn.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Can I play anything?”

The palace nanny nodded. “Yes.”

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and said seriously, “Then, should I play cotton for everyone?”

Everyone was speechless.

After a day of assessment, the person who was the most outstanding in music was Qin Yanran. No one could see the results of the written test and painting, so they could not know. However, from their past reputation, Qin Yanran was in the top three even if she was not first.

Among the top three places, the daughter of the Leng family should have a spot.

Chess was decided by drawing lots.
