Chapter 38

"Entering the palace...Xiu Nu..." Hearing this, Qiao Youxue's eyes lit up suddenly.

If she entered the palace as a beautiful girl, wouldn't it be more convenient to get close to the emperor and observe his situation all the time?

Early in the morning, in front of the gate of the Imperial City Palace, Qi Lan looked embarrassed. He looked at the women with their own merits in front of the team, and then at the bloated figure of Qiao Youxue beside him. He pursed his lips and asked, "Sister Youxue , have you really decided?"

Qiao Youxue was counting how many times it was her turn, when she suddenly heard Qi Lan's voice beside her, she didn't pay attention, and gave a faint "hmm".

Seeing that Qiao Youxue didn't care about her words at all, Qi Lan sighed, then pulled Qiao Youxue, and said seriously: "You have to think about it, let's not talk about how well you can take the exam for this show girl." You can't pass, as long as you enter this palace gate, it will be difficult for you to think about it later. Once you enter the palace gate, it's as deep as the sea, and the people inside are not fuel-efficient. The reason is still unclear, do you really want to go in?"

Qiao Youxue turned her head to look at her, and there was a warm current in her heart. She never thought that she and Qi Lan just met by chance, and within less than two months of getting along, she already thought of her so much.

Then he smiled and patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, I will be fine, and if you want to accomplish what I want to do, entering the palace is the best choice."

It is also the most dangerous option.

I never thought that Zhao Fanyong would become the national teacher of the Xiao Kingdom, and even won the trust of the emperor, and it was Zhao Fanyong's attention to hear that the emperor of the Xiao Kingdom frequently drafted talent shows. Besides, the emperor's body was already in that state, and the emperor had no intention of accepting these beautiful women at all. The concubine was selected, and I heard that the beautiful women who entered the palace a few times before lost contact with their families, only the money sent by the palace every month...

Things are not as simple as they seem.

If she doesn't do it, it will be too late.

"Youxue, you should think about it carefully." Qi Lan bit her lip, still a little unwilling.

Qiao Youxue gave a hearty smile, and comforted her: "Stop thinking about it, I will write to you often after I enter the palace, and if I am in danger, I will definitely go to General Qi, and General Qi will definitely save me. You can't believe me, don't you?" Still can't trust General Qi?"

Hearing this, Qi Lan fell silent, and nodded after waiting for a long time, but the worry in his eyes was still so strong that he couldn't get rid of it, and he said: "Then if you have anything to do, just go to your father, and your father will definitely help you." your."

"Got it." Qiao Youxue smiled.

When it was time for Qiao Youxue, the old nanny who was in charge of the show girl exam looked up at the two of them, then turned to Qi Lan and asked, "No. 29, Qiao Youxue, right?"

Qi Lan was stunned, quickly shook her head and said, "No...it's not me."

"Huh?" The old mother looked puzzled.

"I am Qiao Youxue on the 29th, and she accompanied me here." Qiao Youxue said lightly.

After the words fell, the old mother turned her eyes and looked her up and down carefully, and then her old face turned cold, and she snorted coldly: "Are you teasing the old man? At the feet of the emperor, I am working for the emperor, you are making fun of the emperor!"

"Your servant must never dare, mama!" Qi Lan was frightened by her, and hurriedly shouted.

Qiao Youxue's eyes did not move, she said calmly: "I am Qiao Youxue, she is Qi Lan, the daughter of General Qi Weiguo, and she is not the show girl who came to participate in the election this time."

Seeing that Qiao Youxue was not intimidated, the old mother gradually understood, her eyes moved, and then said coldly: "Qiao Youxue on the 29th, you failed the election, let's go."

"Are you joking?" Qiao Youxue continued: "The emperor decreed that all girls can be selected for this election. I saw that the first few had already entered. Why did they lose the election when they came to me? Is this a disobedience?"

"You!" The old mother was stunned by Qiao Youxue for a while, and the aura just now was suppressed in an instant, but she calmed down after so many years of struggling in the palace, staring at Qiao Youxue and said coldly: "It's quite quick to talk, but you have to think about it, even if a bastard like you enters the palace, he won't be able to be a concubine. At most, he will be a maid, or the lowest maid in the palace!"

Qi Lan frowned, and said: "With my Qi family as the guarantor, I will definitely not let little sister Youxue suffer like this."

The old mother squinted at Qi Lan, then turned her head to look at Qiao Youxue, and said, "There are two paths, you choose."

"Choose? Didn't I already choose?" Qiao Youxue smiled lightly.

"Hmph." The old mother continued, "You wild girl who doesn't understand the rules."

Qiao Youxue didn't pay attention to her words, turned her head to look at Qi Lan, and said, "I'm leaving now, you should go back home earlier."

Qi Lan sighed: "I can't stop you, if you can't survive in the palace, write a letter, the General's Mansion will definitely find a way for you."

"Got it." Qiao Youxue smiled, then said goodbye to Qi Lan, and walked into the palace gate.

"Today is really unlucky!" After seeing off Qiao Youxue, the old mother spat.

Qi Mansion
Under Du Beiya's guidance, Qi Weiguo bandaged up his old wound, and said with a smile, "Thank you, little Du Langjun."

Du Beiya smiled lightly, and said: "General Qi, you are welcome, the second prince let you down."

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince!" Qi Weiguo was stunned for a moment, and then said with a naive smile: "Speaking of being able to return to Beijing this time and reinstating his post, it is thanks to His Highness the Second Prince who spoke before the emperor. I will personally go to the mansion to thank you tomorrow!"

Du Beiya paused when he was packing the medicine box, and then said: "I want to persuade General Qi not to come to thank you. The second prince knows your feelings."

"Ah? Why is that?" General Qi looked puzzled.

"Does the general know the current situation in the court?" Du Beiya lowered his eyes slightly, and continued to pack his medicine bottle.

"This... the general has just moved back to Yueshen City, so he is not very clear about the situation in the city..."

"The emperor is seriously ill," Du Beiya's eyes moved, and he continued after a moment of silence: "The crown prince is incompetent, Yucheng is suffering from floods, but Mucheng has suffered from severe drought for years. The emperor deeply believes in Zhao Guoshi, and he has no intention of governing the country by practicing the art of longevity. If His Royal Highness the Second Prince hadn't personally gone to Yucheng and Mucheng to rectify the disasters in these two cities day and night, I'm afraid they would have starved to death everywhere..."

"What?" Qi Weiguo's face changed instantly, and he continued: "I was training and fighting at the border far away, and I didn't know that the chaos in the capital had become like this. The emperor is not such a fatuous king, so who is Zhao Guoshi?! "

"Zhao Fanyong..." Du Beiya's eyes moved, and then he said, "He doesn't belong here."
