"Princess, if the prince had been willing to kill Xiao Zi early in the morning, she would not have been rescued." Caiwei said: "Now that Xiao Zi is safe and sound, Chen's revenge can no longer be avenged."

"Ha! How can Xiao Zi have the ability to find that group of people, and also know how to use my father's name to make Chen appear in front of so many guests? Luo Ning must have instigated all of this!"

Luo Zixin punched the table hard, she was cruel to Luo Ning, and she hated Mrs. Chen even more!

As her mother and a general's woman, Mrs. Chen was so impure and self-reliant that she almost couldn't hold her head up!

"princess……"

"Wait for me to take a bath and go to bed." Luo Zixin waved her hand to stop Caiwei's words.

…

Time flies by and there are still three days before the envoy arrives in Beijing.

On this day, the capital city and nearby prefectures received a huge news!

"Am I right? Princess Yueling actually invited us commoners to the party?"

People gathered in a circle in front of the notice.

"You read that right! It's true! Wow, wow, wow! This is a great opportunity for a sparrow to turn into a phoenix! I want to go, I want to go!"

"Go! You must go! Even if you can't turn into a phoenix, you can still get a new set of clothes for free!"

"Come on, you guys! You want to go even if you don't even know a few Chinese characters?" A pretty woman glanced sideways at the people talking, and said arrogantly: "Don't you see the row of words at the bottom? You have to go through the government office.

A talented woman evaluated by the Yamen."

"Tch! You just know a few words, and smiling half-heartedly is of no use!"

Someone choked in displeasure and turned around to leave, but they couldn't help but glance at the notice as they left.

You will know if it works or not!

The notice posted by Tang Yueling was issued by the imperial court, which made it even more attractive.

The assessment lasted for two days, and the main test was talent. As for morality and etiquette, Tang Yueling's temperament did not care about it, so these two items became secondary.

There was a craze for assessment in the far and near prefectures and counties near the capital. There were ten exams a day and all the exams were full.

Two days later, five or six women from each state and county were selected and gathered at Tang Yueling's princess mansion.

She is the only one among all the princesses who was given a mansion by the emperor, and even her name was given by the emperor.

"The daughter of the people pays her respects to the princess!"

Tang Yueling felt a little pain in her head when she looked at the crowd of fifty or sixty people.

But fortunately, with Luo Ning's help, I can worry less.

"There is no need to be formal." Tang Yueling said softly: "Everyone who can come to my side shows that you are all talented people! I have a few questions for you. You just need to write the answers on the paper.

That’s it, don’t whisper to each other!”

As soon as Tang Yueling finished speaking, a servant brought up paper and pen.

"Hey, why is this writing so strange! The ink is actually on the tip of the pen, so how are we going to write?"

"That's right! Could it be that the princess is deliberately trying to trouble us?"

There were some small voices among the fifty or sixty people.

"First question, your names."

Tang Yueling ignored those people's comments and asked the first question directly.

It's possible to overcome the lack of tables and chairs, but this ink...

Some women simply drop ink directly on the paper and write quickly while the ink is still wet.

It’s just that the paper is weird, it’s so absorbent!

Some people are smarter, squatting down and dripping ink on the stone beside them, using the stone as an inkstone.

Everyone saw it and imitated him one after another, and finally wrote down their names.

Among the women, only one stood there without moving a pen or paper. Instead, she said to Tang Yue Lingfu: "Public woman Wen Zhiting, please be kind to the princess."

Tang Yueling glanced at her, her eyes remained unchanged, and she just waved her hand to tell her not to be polite.

"The second question is to draw a red plum on the paper."

"Princess, this only has black ink, how can you draw red plums? Isn't this deliberately making things difficult for others!"

Tang Yueling said calmly: "Since you can't draw it, then leave."

Only then did everyone notice that not far from them, there was a maid holding new clothes.

The person who asked the question got a set of clothes and was "invited" away.

Even though she was unwilling to stay, Tang Yueling did not give her a second chance.

Once there is a precedent, others will not dare to raise any questions even if they have them.

"Mommy." Tang Yueling saw that everyone had put down their pens, so she sent someone down to check them one by one.

Some painted plum blossoms directly.

There are also those who are full of desire for survival and write a red letter after drawing plum blossoms.

Some people only put a few tiny marks on the paper and call them stamens.

Among the many answers, only one person turned in a blank, and it was Wen Zhiting.

"Are you optimistic about it, mama?" Tang Yueling asked lightly.

"Please wait and see what you say to the princess." Mammy replied respectfully.

"Yes." Tang Yueling waved her hand, and she asked the maid to come up and deliver the clothes.

Everyone with plum blossoms drawn on the paper left.

In the blink of an eye, half of the large team of more than fifty people was left.

"The fourth question, what is the last sentence under the notice?"

Everyone looked at each other, how could they remember this!

They wanted to discuss it, but Tang Yueling had a condition that they were not allowed to talk to each other.

After one round, several more people were eliminated.

"Last question, when you first came in, how many people were around this princess?"

The remaining people were even more confused. Why is this question getting more and more tricky?

Tang Yueling asked them to pick up the paper and glance at the answers.

In the end, only ten people remained from more than fifty people.

"Very good, just stay here and attend the princess's banquet with others in the capital tomorrow."

"Yes, Princess."

Tang Yueling glanced at them, and his eyes stayed on Wen Zhiting for a few seconds before leaving.

The ten people were arranged into five guest rooms in the princess's mansion, and five nuns taught them basic etiquette.

The next day, the party at Princess Yueling's mansion was held as scheduled. In addition to the ten girls from ordinary families selected by Tang Yueling, there were also ladies from the official families in the capital.

Luo Ning was also invited.

"Ning'er!" Tang Yueling walked over excitedly as soon as she saw Luo Ning.

"Princess Princess."

"Okay, okay, we don't need to be so formal with each other." Tang Yueling waved her hand and said, "I have selected ten people according to your method."

"What are your questions? They're such a mess." Tang Yueling asked curiously.

"It tests their adaptability, concentration and memory. As for their talents, haven't they been inspected by various states and counties?" Luo Ning replied with a smile.

"Well, what you said makes sense!" Tang Yueling nodded: "You are still smart!"

"This matter mainly depends on the princess." Luo Ning whispered: "Today's banquet allows them to learn to integrate."

"Your Majesty, please send your regards to the Princess."

Tang Yueling and Luo Ning were chatting quietly when a clear voice interrupted at an inappropriate time.

"You look familiar!" Tang Yueling looked at the woman in front of him and blinked, unable to remember.

"Princess, she is Wei Yalan, the daughter of the new minister of the Ministry of Industry." The nanny beside her reminded her in a low voice.

"Oh! So it's you! No wonder this princess looks familiar! We haven't seen each other for many years!" Tang Yueling glanced at Luo Ning when she spoke. She still liked Luo Ning more.

Wei Yalan frowned imperceptibly, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes.
