Zither, Chess, Calligraphy, and Painting

After chatting, the residence sent Yu Shande and the others to the palace gate.

The process of the palace examination was the same as the second examination in front of the hall. Yu Shande and the others had gone through it once, and this time, they were much calmer.

At dawn, the palace door opened and the candidates entered.

Due to the palace examination, classes at home were suspended for another three days. Yu Youyao did not have to go to school, so she took a sachet that was already half-embroidered and sat under the Parasol Tree to embroider it.

Nanny Xu instructed Chun Xiao, "If she does it for too long, it'll hurt her eyes. Keep an eye on her from the side. Every three minutes, make some tea for Eldest Miss. She can only continue embroidering after resting for ten minutes."

Chun Xiao quickly agreed. "Nanny, don't worry. I understand."
