"What's going on?" Tana was curious.
"Master Yushi, she is a girl." The eldest princess said calmly.
"What, girl?" Tana's eyes widened suddenly, with a look of disbelief on her face.
There was a sudden gasp of air in the hall.
The expressions on everyone's faces were wonderful. They were surprised at first, and then shook their heads in disapproval, thinking that the eldest princess must be drunk and talking nonsense.
They have been officials in the court for so many years, but they have never heard of women being officials.
impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Tana said with surprise and joy: "Sister Master, are you telling the truth? Is this Master Yushi really a girl? Well, then I want to meet her even more. She must be a smart and beautiful girl. , and she is brave! Even braver than me, if only I could see her right away.”
"Really? I'm afraid that if you see her, you won't be as happy as you are now." The eldest princess smiled half-heartedly.
"Why are you unhappy?" Tana looked puzzled.
"If she was smarter than you, more beautiful than you, or even more courageous than you, would you still like her?"
"Of course!" Tana replied without hesitation, her face full of determination and longing.
Hey, this little girl looks very serious.
The eldest princess was secretly surprised. She originally wanted to stimulate Tana on purpose, because women naturally like to compare, especially beautiful girls. If they heard that another girl was more beautiful than herself, it would not be tolerated.
But Tana's answer was completely beyond her expectation.
"Sister Master, is what you just said true? Is the royal censor really a girl? How old is she? Is she beautiful? What is her name?" Princess Tana asked repeatedly.
"This, this... I don't know." The eldest princess suddenly looked embarrassed. She saw Empress Dowager Zhou's eyes falling on her face, and her heart was beating fiercely. She secretly regretted that she should not have spoken so quickly, fearing that she might have caused Overcame the mother's suspicion.
"Princess Tana, the eldest princess is drunk, and what she said just now is all drunken talk." Ye Tingxuan stood up at the right time, supported the eldest princess, and said softly: "I asked you to drink less, but I didn't Be obedient, and Princess Tana will take your nonsense now seriously."

"Forgive me, the Queen Mother, but the eldest princess is too drunk, so she and Tingxuan left first."
Empress Dowager Zhou looked at them thoughtfully, nodded slightly, waved her hands, but didn't ask any more questions.
The eldest princess leaned on Ye Tingxuan's shoulder, her steps were frivolous, as if she was drunk.
The two of them waited until they left the entrance of the hall. The eldest princess took a long breath, patted her chest and said: "What a risk, what a risk! I almost leaked Ning'er's secret, Ting Xuan, fortunately you covered it up for me in time. ”
Ye Tingxuan shook his head solemnly: "Although I concealed it, who is the Queen Mother? How could my little trick be hidden from her eyes? I am afraid that she has already become suspicious, just in front of Princess Tana. I just don’t want to ask in detail.”
The eldest princess immediately became anxious: "What should we do? What if the queen mother knows that the censor is Ning'er?"
