Everyone competed to carry the sedans, but when it came to Su Xiaoxiao’s turn, there was not a single eunuch who stepped forward.  

The reason was simple.  

Such a fat and heavy girl, who could carry such a girl?  

Plus, she looked like she had no money, so why risk hurting their backs for nothing?  

Su Xiaoxiao was left isolated on the spot, while the other young ladies covered their mouths and snickered.  

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t mind.  

If no one would carry her sedan, then she would just walk.  

She felt neither embarrassed nor burdened. 

Instead, she enjoyed the scenery along the way with great delight.  

She followed the procession at a steady distance, neither too close nor too far.

Not far away, a golden nanmu sedan chair stopped in front of a pavilion.  

Princess Jingning stepped out of the sedan and glanced casually toward the procession. 

“What’s going on over there?”  

A female official beside her replied, 

“Your Highness, those young ladies are here to participate in the selection for the princess’s companion.”  

Princess Jingning had heard about Emperor Jingxuan’s plan to establish a palace academy. 

After all, she was one of the princesses of the right age who would be attending.  

Princess Jingning said, “I meant that girl. Why isn’t she in a sedan?”  

The girl was dressed plainly, not quite like a wealthy young lady, but even less like a palace maid.  

So, Princess Jingning deduced that she must also be one of the so-called companions.  

As a princess, there were some things Jingning didn’t fully understand, but the palace maids and eunuchs knew very well.  

After all, only servants understood the intricacies of such matters.  

The female official answered truthfully, “They probably didn’t want to take on such a thankless task because the girl is too heavy and her clothes are too shabby.”  

Princess Jingning frowned.  

Having been mocked since childhood for her plain appearance, Princess Jingning felt a twinge of sympathy for the chubby girl’s difficulty.  

“Call her over here…”  

She paused, then said, “Never mind, you can go!”  

.….. 

The young ladies rode in sedans all the way to the side hall where the selection was being held.  

After getting out of the sedans, as expected, each sedan bearer received a generous tip.

“Huh? Did you see that chubby girl? I just saw her following behind, but in the blink of an eye, she’s gone!”

“Could she have gotten lost?”

“How could she get lost? How clumsy can she be!”

“The palace is so big, if she gets lost, she might wander into the wrong place! What if she offends a noble one.…..”

That would mean a certain death.

The young ladies began discussing again.

Qin Yanran had thought she would be the center of attention, but instead, everyone was talking about Su Xiaoxiao.

Though, it wasn’t exactly praise.

“Country folk will always be country folk. If I were her, without anyone to carry my sedan, I wouldn’t move an inch! I would call for the supervisor! Let’s see who dares to refuse!”

“Who would she call? Didn’t you notice that she doesn’t even have a maid with her?”

“Miss Qin, no matter what, she’s also from your Qin family, shouldn’t you teach her how to behave like a proper young lady from a noble family?”

Qin Yanran said softly, “Miss Wang is absolutely right. Once we return to the residence, I will properly instruct her in etiquette.”

Suddenly, one of the young ladies exclaimed, “Stop talking! Princess Jingning is here!”  

Everyone turned to look and saw several powerfully built imperial guards steadily carrying a golden nanmu sedan chair.

The canopy of the sedan was adorned with bright yellow, a color reserved only for the legitimate members of the inner court.

Aside from the Grand Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress, only Princess Jingning, born to the Empress, had the right to use this color. 

Even the princes were not permitted to overstep this boundary.

Everyone quickly fell silent, bowing respectfully with their lowered heads.  

The sedan chair landed.  

The curtain was gently lifted by a female official.  

Then a chubby young girl strode out boldly.  

All the young ladies who had curtsied to her: “……?!”
