But Chu Yuan had read the entire plot and knew that Jiang Xue Ning would not be able to get what she wanted in the end.

Sure enough, no matter how badly she did, whether she dropped a cup while serving tea, stepped on the hem of the person in front of her while walking, or spilled incense ash on Su Shangyi's shoes while burning incense, Su Shangyi would just tolerate it and never say a harsh word to her.

Chu Yuan, on the other hand, didn't receive much attention because both the "excellent" Xue Shu and the "mischievous" Jiang Xue Ning existed at the same time.

Just as Jiang Xuening was wondering why Su Shangyi, such a strict person, didn't lose her temper, the announcement of "The Princess has arrived" suddenly came.

As everyone turned around upon hearing the voice, Shen Zhiyi, her robes fluttering, strode into the pavilion. "You've finally entered the palace. No need for formalities. I've just come to see you all."

There were only a few people to accompany her in the first place, and she had to take an exam to stay on. Shen Zhiyi pouted, not very happy.

But upon seeing her colorful study companions, especially the beautiful and dazzling Jiang Xuening and You Yue, Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but smile. She stepped forward and took one of their hands, saying, "You two, you must study hard for the exam. Don't be eliminated from the palace."

Jiang Xuening's eyes flashed, and she withdrew her hand to curtsy. "Princess, I am of dull talent and I am afraid I cannot learn all these palace etiquettes. In order to avoid further embarrassment, perhaps I should ask to leave the palace?"

Shen Zhiyi frowned and looked at Su Shangyi beside her, "Granny, is that so?"

Granny Su rarely smiled. "Your Highness, no, Miss Jiang is very intelligent and quick-witted. It's just that she hasn't been studying for long enough, so she made some unavoidable mistakes."

Jiang Xuening, “…”

Chu Yuan, "..."

The rest of the people, "..."

Su Shangyi's ability to lie through her teeth is truly remarkable!

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhiyi was overjoyed and gave Su Shangyi a rewarding look. "Alright, I'll wait for your good news, Granny. That's wonderful! Now I'll have someone to study with and keep me company!"

Shen Zhiyi left satisfied. Su Shangyi watched her back and smiled with a loving expression. "The royal family has few offspring. The princess has never had a close sister since childhood. She also encountered the case of the Prince of Pingnan's rebellion, which left a scar on the corner of her eye. Therefore, Jiang Xuening and You Yue, I am truly grateful to the old servant for helping the princess to resolve her inner conflict and stop worrying about the scar."

With the two of you accompanying the princess from now on, this old servant is more at ease than ever. How could I not be willing?

This explains why Jiang Xuening wasn't made things difficult for.

Chu Yuan couldn't be described; she adhered to the principle of moderation, neither the best nor the worst.

Next, Jiang Xuening realized that the route to leave the palace through Su Shangyi was not feasible, so she stopped causing trouble and started to behave well, which made her progress much faster.

Finally, the day's etiquette training came to an end.

Su Shangyi looked relieved and said, "You all did very well. I've passed this test. I wish you all good results in the written exam tomorrow, and hope you can all stay and accompany the princess."

Back at her residence, Fang Miao complained incessantly.

Jiang Xuening was called out by the palace servants. Chu Yuan knew that Yan Ling must be worried about her entering the palace. This super warm and gentle man is really good. Even though Jiang Xuening had clearly rejected him and said it was impossible, he was still very good to her, always worried about her and taking care of her. I wouldn't mind having a dozen of these cuties!

Unexpectedly, it wasn't just Jiang Xuening who was being sought after; she was also being sought after.
