Chapter 143 Why don’t you just chase her away?
As expected of a lady who had been educated in a wealthy family for more than ten years, as soon as Mei Xue said this, thirty or forty girls from wealthy families quickly lined up in two teams, waiting for Mei Xue to lead the way.
They were all crowded together just now and Mei Xue didn't notice it. Now that they were lined up, Mei Xue noticed that there was a woman at the end of the line who was still dressed in shabby clothes.
A woman stepped out of the line and said to Mei Xue, the expression on her face made Mei Xue feel uncomfortable, "Don't blame me, aunt, this is my younger sister, she is ignorant, I will ask her to go back now."
Hearing this, Mei Xue frowned and said nothing. Although she was the queen's head maid, it was not yet time for her to call her aunt.
The younger sister of the pair of sisters curled her lips and said, "Ms. Zhang, what you said is not right. Even if we are sisters, why don't you prepare one for your sister when you know to prepare two clothes for yourself?"
The woman who spoke first, the so-called Miss Zhang, pretended to be aggrieved, "Sister Xiao misunderstood, I don't want to give the queen..."
Only then did Mei Xue know that the sisters' surname was Xiao. There were not many ministers with the surname Xiao in the court. According to the list given by Liu He, these two should be the granddaughters of the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy.
Miss Zhang seemed to realize that she had said something she shouldn't have, and quickly covered her mouth, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't say anything just now." If Qi Wuyou saw her exaggerated acting, he would definitely say it was an eyesore.
Mei Xue noticed that Miss Zhang, who was standing at the back, wanted to say something, but she said nothing.
Miss Xiao rolled her eyes and sneered, "You act like a ghost."
Miss Zhang's eyes flashed with resentment, but she did not vent her anger. Instead, she looked at Mei Xue with an embarrassed look on her face, "Aunt, my sister might offend the queen by doing this, otherwise we should not let her go."
Looking at Miss Zhang's embarrassed but expectant eyes, Mei Xue pursed her lips and said nothing.
If possible, she would like to kick Miss Zhang out directly.
The beads on the abacus were about to break Mei Xue's face. She reasonably suspected that Miss Zhang deliberately asked her sister to dress like this in order to make her fail in the selection.
Moreover, she showed weakness in front of Miss Xiao Er in order to win sympathy. Mei Xue saw that Miss Zhang was thoughtful and thought that she had to remind the Empress later.
Miss Xiao was still thinking about helping, but Mei Xue gave her a reassuring look and said, "Miss, whether you leave or not is not your decision."
After saying that, he made way for her and said, "Please."
Miss Zhang stamped her feet unwillingly, but she had no choice but to follow the team.
Lianxiang had just sent someone out of the palace to inquire about the news when Meixue came back with her people.
Qi Wuyou really has no time to spare.
Mei Xue told Qi Wuyou what happened in Qi Xiangdian just now. Qi Wuyou asked, "Why don't you just chase her away?"
She was talking about Miss Zhang Er, who was pretending to be a white lotus. Mei Xue sighed, "After all, she is your Majesty's subject, so I have to give her some face."
Qi Wuyou curled his lips, "But I don't want to keep her."
Mei Xue smiled and said, "Although I can't drive her away, you can make her lose the election!"
Qi Wuyou's depression disappeared, and he completely forgot about the dissatisfaction he had when he heard the news. He was eager to try, "Why don't you call someone in quickly?"
She couldn't wait to meet those beauties.
Mei Xue clapped her hands, and Xiao Zhezi came in with ten women.
Qi Wuyou felt that it was too troublesome to look at them one by one, so it would be better to look at them in waves.
Didn't they say there were 30 or 40 people? They watched it all in three or four takes.
Mei Xue took a quick look and saw Miss Xiao and Miss Zhang.
Mei Xue saw her expression paused. Logically, she should have been in the second wave, so how could she have come in the first wave?
But after only a moment of confusion, Mei Xue realized that this young lady was really thoughtful.
"Empress," Mei Xue picked up the cheese beside her and handed it to Qi Wuyou, taking the opportunity to wink at him.
Qi Wuyou understood and nodded.
Xiao Zhezi stood beside Qi Wuyou, holding a tray. These were the identity cards of those young ladies.
Qi Wuyou glanced around and found that everyone had their heads lowered. Qi Wuyou could only see their scalps while sitting.
However, there was one exception. That person secretly glanced at Qi Wuyou several times, and even met his eyes several times.
Qi Wuyou frowned, for no other reason than that she had clearly seen the determination in that girl's eyes, and it seemed that she even had disdain for other people?
Qi Wuyou smiled. Does this mean that he is sure that she will choose her?
When Miss Zhang saw Qi Wuyou smiling at her, she thought that Qi Wuyou liked her very much and became more and more presumptuous.
This is the palace, not home, everyone must abide by the rules.
No matter how curious they were about the queen, as long as Qi Wuyou didn't speak, they dared only keep their heads down.
With this comparison, Qi Wuyou's displeasure became even more obvious.
She glanced at Xiao Zhezi and motioned for her to bring the tray over.
Qi Wuyou saw that the corresponding position on the plate was written: Zhang Ruoning, the second daughter of the Minister of Revenue.
When Zhang Ruoning saw Qi Wuyou's actions, she thought that Qi Wuyou wanted to keep her, and her pride became more and more obvious.
Qi Wuyou saw it, but pretended not to see it.
Everyone said indifferently, "Raise your head and let me see it."
Everyone then raised their heads, but their eyes were still looking down, not daring to look at Qi Wuyou. Apart from that exception, Qi Wuyou was still very satisfied.
Because they are all little beauties and everyone loves beauty, Qi Wuyou thought it would be nice to have a few little sisters of similar age to accompany her.
Unlike Mei Xue and the other three, they only knew how to control her and not let her do anything.
Qi Wuyou asked symbolically, "What are your hobbies?"
Before the girl at the edge could answer, Zhang Ruoning raised her hand first, "I love reading..."
Before she finished speaking, Qi Wuyou interrupted her with an irresistible tone, "Miss, is it your turn?"
She wouldn't be like this normally, but who made Zhang Ruoning so annoying?
Zhang Ruoning closed her mouth unwillingly, her eyes full of complaints towards Qi Wuyou.
Qi Wuyou found it a little funny. Why was he blaming her?
But Qi Wuyou ignored her and signaled the first lady to answer.
The girl stepped forward and bowed, "Your Majesty, I only read some miscellaneous books and have a basic understanding of embroidery and playing the piano."
Qi Wuyou nodded, looked at the sign, and said, "Miss Wang, do you have any brothers or sisters at home?"
Miss Wang didn't understand why Qi Wuyou asked this, but she answered honestly, "I have an older brother who passed the imperial examination two years ago and entered the imperial court."
"My Majesty has two younger sisters, both of whom are studying in girls' schools, and a younger brother who is still an infant."
Qi Wuyou nodded and signaled Xiao Zhezi to put the sign away.
This means that the first level has been passed.
The people behind couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw how simple it was.
