Jiang Ning never expected that the seemingly honest young doctor would change his mind!
She struggled with all her might: “Third Brother, did you overhear my conversation with that doctor yesterday?”
Jiang Yi’s handsome face had an air of integrity: “I am a gentleman, I would never eavesdrop on other people’s conversations.”
Jiang Ning: “…I really wouldn’t mind if you eavesdropped.”
But in the end, she was still put into the carriage.
She sat in the carriage in a daze, watching the Jiang family gate getting farther and farther away, with a blank expression, muttering to herself, “I really regret it, really.”
Jiang Yan, who was sharing the same carriage with her, curiously asked, “What does Seventh Sister regret?”
“I really regret not letting you all listen to what the young doctor said yesterday.”
“The doctor said that Seventh Sister’s body is unharmed, so don’t worry.”
“…I really regret it, really.”
She kept repeating these words all the way until they reached the outer gates of the Imperial City and changed from carriage to a palanquin to enter the Immortal-view Gate. They went through the side doors and passed through Enlightenment Gate, Wisdom Gate, and Clarity Gate before eventually reaching the Cloudview Pavilion.
Cloudview Pavilion was a temporary residence for the women being selected.
There weren’t too many of them, after all, this wasn’t a selection for the Emperor, but specifically for the Prince of Yu’s Main Consort. All of the candidates were from prominent families and noble ladies in Chang’an City.
After getting off the palanquin, Jiang Ning’s legs made it difficult for her to move, and she didn’t have her crutch or a maid. As she was wondering how to get out, she saw a delicate wheelchair beside her.
A palace maid with a round face spoke gently, “Miss, please get off the palanquin. This is specially prepared for you.”
Swipe!
All eyes turned to Jiang Ning.
Who was this, to be treated so specially?
Even the palace had prepared a chair for her, which was simply unheard of.
The girls were puzzled, and then they saw a girl in a green skirt clumsily getting out of the palanquin and moving onto the wheelchair.
As soon as the girl appeared, she amazed everyone around her.
She was very beautiful.
But her legs were clearly disabled.
No wonder she needed a wheelchair.
There were whispers among the women.
A lame girl even dared to enter the palace to be selected?
Wasn’t she afraid of being laughed at?
Someone with insider information whispered, “That’s the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family who was just found, the one who was missing for twelve years.”
“It’s her, how did she become a cripple?”
“Who knows, maybe it was the kidnappers who crippled her…”
“She looks good, but how can a cripple come to be selected? Does the Jiang family not have any daughters left, or are they just crazy to climb up the social ladder?”
Jiang Yuan was initially embarrassed and tried to keep her distance from Jiang Ning after getting off the palanquin. However, after hearing these comments, she suddenly became enraged and slapped the girl who spoke last.
The girl was stunned.
Jiang Yuan pointed at her, “Take a good look, the Jiang family not only has daughters, but more than one! If you dare to insult the Jiang family again, I will pull out your teeth!”
Jiang Ning saw all this and laughed, “Sixth Sister, our Fifth Sister is not only domineering at home, but also quite aggressive outside.”
Jiang Yan pushed the wheelchair and saw Jiang Yuan making a scene, which made her feel a little worried, but she still replied with a smile, “Yes, Fifth Sister has always been like this, never willing to suffer the slightest bit of grievance.”
“Quite good, quite good.”
Jiang Ning comfortably leaned back in her chair, surveying their surroundings.
The Imperial Palace was indeed magnificent, but she couldn’t help thinking about how to escape.
She had heard on the way there that they would have to undergo a physical examination upon entering the palace.
They would be stripped naked for the Nannies to check their bodies for any flaws, their growth, etc. Then they would also be examined to verify whether they were still virgins or not..
