    Jiang Ning sighed, “Why does nobody believe me when I tell the truth?”


    “Quiet down, everyone!” the Stewardess Nanny scolded with a cold face, “Aren’t you alldies from respectable families? Don’t you even understand the rules of not talking while eating and not speaking when lying down? Don’t think you’re just here for a meal. Everything that happens here is known by thedies and masters in the pce!”


    The women fell silent.


    So gathering everyone for a meal together was actually a test of their proper manners.


    Regrettable indeed.


    Only Jiang Ning seemed unaffected, finishing her steamed bun and pushing her wheelchair to her room to sleep.


    Nobody paid attention to the nannies around her.


    The nannies didn’t pay attention to her either.


    However, another talenteddy tried to follow, but was scolded by the Nanny, “The Empress Your Highness and otherdies have always advocated cherishing food. Leaving half uneaten like this will not please them.”


    The talenteddy was a noblewoman from a count’s family and took pride in her status. Upon hearing this, she retorted, “Jiang Seventh didn’t finish her food either. Why is she allowed to leave?”


    The Nanny calmly replied, “If you don’t care about being chosen like her, then go ahead.”


    This promptly silenced the talenteddy, who obediently sat down and finished her meal.


    Perhaps Jiang Family’s crippled girl was just lucky to pass the physical examination with her beautiful face.


    But when she meets the Empress and the Noble Consort, things will not be easy.


    The Prince of Yu is the son of the Noble Consort, who would never choose a cripple as a daughter-inw for her son.


    Nothing happened that night, and everyone went to rest.


    Before dawn, they were called to dress and have their hair styled. After a bowl of porridge in the morning, they had to line up to go to the Hall of Ceremony to meet the Empress and other nobledies.


    It was said that the Prince of Yu would also attend and personally select the woman who pleased him the most.


    This news thrilled and excited all the talenteddies.


    However, just his name, the Prince of Yu, was enough to make their cheeks flush.


    It was said that the Prince of Yu had an ethereal appearance and was exceptionally gentle and polite to others. Moreover, as the son of the Noble Consort, he had the highest status among all the princes.


    Empress Your Highness had no sons and only one daughter, the Princess. The four princes were born from concubines, so it didn’t matter to her which of them would ascend to the throne.


    The Fourth Prince, although his birth mother was only a Lady, had been raised by the Empress since childhood, naturally making his status higher than the others.


    The birth mothers of the other two princes were both concubines, unable topete for glory with them.


    As the youngest among the princes, the Prince of Yu’s marriage was attracting much attention.


    The talenteddies dressed up beautifully and followed the Stewardess Nanny to the Hall of Ceremony.


    The Hall of Ceremony was originally a ce for holding small banquets in the harem. The talenteddies were temporarily ced in a side hall, which was quite spacious.


    After a long wait, the news came that the Empress and the Noble Consort had arrived.


    The women got excited.


    Only Jiang Ning waszily leaning in her wheelchair, dozing off.


    She was already sleepy, and with the early waking today, her eyelids continuously fought each other.


    There were a total of sixteen talenteddies, who didn’t need to split up and lined up neatly to enter.


    As for Jiang Ning, Huang Ying pushed her along, following the end of the line, yawning from time to time.


    The Hall of Ceremony, not being a residential pce, wasn’t gorgeous but spacious and bright. In the slightly hot early summer season, it wasfortable with the breeze.


    Jiang Ning sat in a corner, and although blocked by the talenteddies, she could still see the legendary appearance of the Empress and the Noble Consort.


    They didn’t appear as magnificent and luxurious as she had imagined.


    The Empress looked to be in her fifties or sixties, with a cicada hairstyle, a green skirt, and a yellow cloak with red patterns of branches and flowers on her shoulders. She was quite tall and somewhat thin. Although not beautiful due to her age, her noble grace and excellent temperament were outstanding.


    The Noble Consort sitting on her left hand looked to be in her forties, clearly exquisitely beautiful, with picturesque eyes and eyebrows.


    She wore a double-ring immortal bun, and the four thin, long hairpins on her head were remarkably dazzling.


    Just by looking at the Noble Consort’s grace, one could tell that her son, the Prince of Yu, must have an exceptionally handsome appearance..
