Jiang Qingqing looked in the direction and saw a dozen people in plain clothes not far away, with their heads down and hands raised in a very strict manner.

They came to the entrance of the pavilion and stopped.

The leading servant looked at Xiao Linting, and when he saw the prince nodded at him, he stepped sideways and made way to give the people behind him a chance to show off.

"I asked Nafu to pick out a few good-looking people with good character from several famous human traffickers in Kyoto. Your Highness, please take a look and see if there is any one that suits your taste."

Xiao Linting spoke calmly and softly.

There are five people in the row in front of me, two rows in total.

She took a quick glance and found that the looks of these people were all OK, acceptable, but not too gorgeous.

Jiang Qingqing firmly believes in the saying that appearance is determined by the heart, so if she doesn't like someone, she will decisively avoid them.

Finally, only four people were left standing in front of the pavilion.

The clothes they were wearing were of different colors, and one could tell at a glance that these four people were not from the same gang.

Jiang Qingqing held her chin and looked lazily at the four people in front of her.

To be honest, I'm tired of choosing.

"Among these four people, could one of them be the emperor's uncle's man?" Jiang Qingqing's eyes fell on the little girl standing at the edge. She only needed to look down a little to see that the little girl's posture with her hands clasped in her sleeves was different from others.

The way the man raised his arm doesn't look like someone who is learning the rules under the command of a human trafficker.

He looks more like someone who often practices physical strength in the martial arts field.

Xiao Linting frowned and looked down at the teapot on the stone table. His slender hands gently picked up the heat-insulating towel on the table and placed it on the handle of the teapot. With a light lift, he lifted the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Jiang Qingqing.

The movements throughout the process were smooth and there was no stalemate or freeze at all.

Even Jiang Qingqing's rhetorical question did not make him pause for a moment.

After filling his glass, he slowly raised his legs and crossed them.

He was completely different from the majestic and serious uncle who was usually seen in the palace.

This time it was Jiang Qingqing's turn to be stunned.

"Is there really someone like you?"

"I have said before that Your Highness is intelligent and resourceful. Nothing can be hidden from Your Highness' eyes."

The slender fingertips twisted the rim of the teacup, and the tea that was about to pour out hovered back and forth on the rim of the teacup, but not a single drop of water fell out.

The hand is slender with distinct bones and fingers, which is pleasing to the eye.

The meaning of these words is equivalent to tacitly agreeing with Jiang Qingqing's opinion.

"So, Uncle, what do you think, should I choose this person or not?" Jiang Qingqing couldn't help but ask again.

This time, this question caused Xiao Linting's hand, which was spinning the teacup, to suddenly stop at an angle.

The steaming tea almost burst out.

"Your Highness, do you know who it is?"

Xiao Linting was indeed not expecting the little princess to say this. He just thought that it was just the little princess's good intuition. After all, young children, in addition to being smart, are more likely to have luck.

Therefore, he always thought that Jiang Qingqing was just lucky in this way.

Until Jiang Qingqing said this, all his previous "luck" was overturned by him.

This time it was Jiang Qingqing's turn to be calm and confident. She imitated Xiao Linting's usual raised eyebrows and crossed her legs lazily.

However, it was quite difficult to lift her short legs, so she could only hold them half-way in the air.

Little did she know that her naivety was extremely adorable in Xiao Linting's eyes.

"If I don't choose, will it have a big impact?"

Jiang Qingqing uttered this sentence cautiously at first.

She looked carefully at Xiao Linting's facial expression.

Sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes, on his handsome features, his beautiful sword-like eyebrows never frowned, and his black eyes were always calm. Judging from his expression, Xiao Linting's ability to control his emotions is very good.

But soon Jiang Qingqing focused her attention on Xiao Linting's toes.

Trembling slightly.

It either means a state of relaxation or a deliberate diversion of attention.

"If I choose, what does the emperor think?"

Jiang Qingqing appropriately threw out the second sentence to test the issue.

This time, the trembling on Xiao Linting's toes completely subsided, and she raised her eyes to look at that handsome face again.

She understood.

"The girl on the left, you've been tired today. You've been standing for the whole afternoon. Go down and have a rest and drink some tea."

Jiang Qingqing turned her head and spoke to the little girl at the edge.

The moment she turned her head and spoke to the group of people, Xiao Linting's fingertips resting on his knees suddenly clenched.

Then when Jiang Qingqing turned her head to look at him, he let go of her hand without making a sound.

"As long as Your Highness likes it, there are three left." He spoke calmly, appropriately leading Jiang Qingqing to look away.

How could Jiang Qingqing not understand what Xiao Linting meant? She suppressed the smile on her face, obediently looked away, and looked closely at the three girls in front of her.

The personalities of these three girls are indeed different.

The first one on the left, her head seemed to be lowered, but from time to time she would raise her head to look at her and look around. She was too curious, of course, but it was not suitable for her to be sent to do things when she was intrigued in the future.

The one in the middle seems to be half a head shorter than the ones on the sides. He is a very honest person, but I don’t know if he is smart or not.

The last one was tall, with his head down and he was well behaved. His clothes were clean and tidy. He looked graceful and elegant, a little better than the one in the middle.

She looked back and forth between the three men.

Suddenly, she felt a sense of oppression beside her. Before she turned around, she heard Xiao Linting's deep voice.

"Your Highness, you don't have to be so conflicted. One is also a choice, and two is also a choice."

As soon as these words fell, a light suddenly flashed in Jiang Qingqing's round eyes.

[You could have said that earlier. Why do I need to sit here and think for so long?! We can't be too obvious. Pick two out of three people. If I were in their shoes, I'd feel embarrassed for that girl.]

"Well, the sun is so strong this afternoon, it's not good to stay in the sun for too long. I've checked on this person, he's fine, go down and have a rest first, I'll notify you later."

Jiang Qingqing clenched her small fist and placed it to her lips, then cleared her throat awkwardly to conceal her meaning.

When the servant heard her instructions, he hurriedly came forward again, waved his hand, and took the three people back down.

Jiang Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief when there were no outsiders around.

She knew that selecting people was troublesome and that there were too many things to think about. But with the Emperor's uncle beside her, she was even more embarrassed to show her smart side.

It is also a test of acting skills for a smart person to pretend to be dumb!!

Xiao Linting looked at the little ball in front of him, looking relieved, and a faint smile appeared on his thin lips.

"Now that we have almost finished selecting the candidates, Your Highness, shall we talk about the affairs of Huiba Village?"
