Chu Yunn raised her eyes to look at the lady in green and was just in time to catch the flash of mockery in her eyes.

Which of the women standing here didn’t want to enter the Imperial harem and become the Emperor’s woman? She felt that Chu Yunn’s fall just now was intentional.

Chu Yunn didn’t want to explain too much to these women. However, all she could think of was Xiao Jin’s incredibly handsome face even when she was already out of the palace.

In fact, even after she returned to the residence, the maidservant called out to her several times before she came back to her senses.

Chu Yunn frowned slightly and glared momentarily at the maidservant.

The maidservant was slightly shocked when she met her gaze. She knelt down in fright. The ice and snow made her whole body shudder, but compared to the cold her body was feeling, the Eldest Young Miss’s gaze just now made her more terrified.

Eldest Young Miss, please forgive me. Your servant was reckless. Eldest Young Miss, please punish me.”

Chu Yunn merely glanced at her indifferently. “Then wait here until just before the sky turns dark. Come and see me again after dark if you’ve reflected enough on yourself.”

“Yes, yes, thank you, Eldest Young Miss. Thank you, Eldest Young Miss.” Chu Yunn had been eliminated in the second test today, and she felt indignant. Everyone knew that this maidservant had not done anything wrong. She just happened to bump into Chu Yunn at the wrong time.

Knowing that her daughter would enter the palace today, Eldest Mrs. Chu had been waiting for her return in Flowering Crabapple Court after she left.

A maidservant wearing a plain robe with symmetrical lapels crossed the long corridor and walked to the main hall. She lifted the thick curtain and walked in. “Eldest Mistress, Eldest Young Miss is back.”

Eldest Mrs. Chu stood up somewhat anxiously but sat back down in the next instant.

Her daughter had been intelligent since she was young. She heard that the Empress was testing the candidates1 eyesight today, so she was confident that Yunn’er would not make any mistakes.

The thick curtains were lifted once again, and a gust of freezing wind rushed into the room. Chu Yunn came in soon after that.

“Mother.”

Eldest Mrs. Chu looked at her slim and elegant daughter with great satisfaction. Even though there were many young ladies from aristocratic families and beauties everywhere in the capital city, her daughter was definitely one of the best if she stood outside in the public eye.

Are you cold? Why didn’t you bring a hand heater for Eldest Young Miss? If Eldest Young Miss gets frost-bitten, I will hold all of you responsible.” The maidservant begged for mercy. “Please forgive me, Eldest Mistress. It was my fault. Please punish me.”

The maidservants who had served this mother-and-daughter duo for a long time knew that their master would never be wrong. Even if it was their master who did something wrong, it was still the servants’ fault for not dissuading their master.

“Enough. You may leave. If this happens again next time, there is no need for you to serve the Eldest Young Miss anymore.” Eldest Mrs. Chu was very anxious to know the situation in the palace, so she couldn’t be bothered to argue with this servant.

Eldest Mrs. Chu shoved the heater in her hand into Chu Yunn’s hand and asked gently, “Quickly tell Mother. How did the test in the palace go today?” Chu Yunn pursed her red lips slightly and frowned. Eldest Mrs. Chu’s heart was on tenterhooks when she saw this.

If things had gone smoothly, why would she be in this state?

“You didn’t make it to the third round?”

Chu Yunn nodded in a glum manner.

Eldest Mrs. Chu couldn’t accept this fact. Her daughter was beautiful and smart. Even if she stood next to the Empress, she was still comparable to the Empress. How come her daughter didn’t even make it to the third round?

“What happened exactly? Tell Mother everything.”

Chu Yunn told Eldest Mrs. Chu everything that happened in the palace. She also said objectively that the Empress was not singling her out. She did the same to everyone.

“The Empress clearly doesn’t want any of you to enter the palace!” When Chu Yunn told her about the Empress’s question, the first thing Eldest Mrs. Chu thought of was that there must be fewer balls inside, but who would have thought that there were still three balls inside?

“What are the identities of the three who advanced?”
