Hua Mian looked at the maid who greeted Xue Qing. She should not speak rashly before knowing the other person's identity. The young maid was wearing a pink lotus-colored dress with another person in one arm.

Xue Qing and the other party said hello intimately and said, "This girl Xia Huamian, He Jinggong, was selected as a candidate for the second exam this year."

"Are you going to the second trial this year?" When the little maid heard Xue Qing's words, she showed an incredible expression.

Looking at the other person's expression, Hua Mian couldn't help but smile bitterly. What did He Jinggong look like in the past years? Isn't it possible to enter the final selection with the relationship between Concubine Jing? Why did he surprise others after entering the second exam? It seems that if you have the chance to ask about He Jinggong carefully.

After the little maid asked, she realized that something was wrong. Xue Qing and the others were obviously in the same direction as hers, and the target was also in the same place no matter how you look at it.

"Don't Tingting introduce it to me?"

With a gentle sound, a man turned out from behind the little maid. Xueqing looked at him and found that the person was the woman who had seen from a distance with his friend holding his arm.

Although the other party did not know them, Xue Qing was indeed very familiar with her. The other party was Shen Luyao in the palace of the second prince's mother. Speaking of this girl, she was also a celebrity in the harem, and she had heard of her affairs even Xue Qing, who had no contact with her.

The little maid called Tingting kissed and held the arm of the person beside her and introduced: "This is Shen Luyao, Sister Shen, the female official in the palace of Concubine Jin."

Concubine Jin... Hua Mian vaguely remembered the strange palace she was taken to before and later heard that it was Concubine Jin's palace. At that time, she was curious that the word Jin was so similar to the pronunciation of the word Jing, and the two empresses could actually live in harmony. If they were based on the development in online novels, the two of them should have fought openly and secretly for hundreds of rounds.

However, after thinking about it, it is definitely not easy for people who can raise the character of the second prince. Concubine Jin and Concubine Jing stand behind the second prince and the eleventh prince respectively. Their every move will probably affect the future of the two princes. It would be reasonable to say that they endure the other party for their son's position.

"Then this one is the female official next to Concubine Jing, Sister Xueqing." The little maid's introduction continued. After introducing Xueqing, she noticed Huamian beside Xueqing. This person is very handsome, and hesitant, and he is a newcomer to the palace. He said hesitantly: "Is this sister..."

"This is the chef in our palace, Xia Huamian," Xueqing replied for her. It is normal that she has never seen Huamian before.

"Sister Xia"

After hearing the introduction, the little maid saluted and greeted her. Shen Luyao, who was beside her, also looked at Hua Mian and nodded gently. Hua Mian quickly returned the gift. In terms of position, this Miss Shen is indeed taller than her.

"In this way, the person who came to Hejinggong to participate in the selection this year is this chef, Sister Xia?" Tingting leaned close to Xueqing and asked quietly.

Hua Mian and Shen Luyao both heard what she asked, and Hua Mian smiled awkwardly. The question was too direct, after all, the one standing opposite her was her competitor.
