The host is no longer a human today

Chapter 17 Harem Girls Stand Up (5)

With excitement, everyone prepared for the night, brought the bamboo kettle and a few pieces of dried meat needed for the day, and they set off on the road in a mighty way.

The official road is not far from the top of the mountain, but it will take a day or two to walk.When this group of youngsters finally leave the field life for half a month and set foot on the official road again, they always have the illusion that they seem to be a lifetime away.

After walking along the official road, they met many refugees, and it seemed that there was no surprise for them, a group of half-aged children mixed in with the refugees.

It wasn't until the refugees came to a majestic city that they realized that it was far away from the hometown where they were trafficked.

County Xiucheng.

It is already a northerly city, only five or six hundred miles away from Wangzhong City, the capital of the country.

When the young master sneaked into the city, he finally saw the only branch of his family in Junxiu City. After showing the token, he was served delicious food.

Thirteen kids rushed into the rice shop, this is the first time in half a month that they can eat delicious white rice.

However, seeing the many refugees along the way, their hope of being able to go home is much slimmer.

At a loss, he looked at Qian Xixi.

Qian Xixi also has side quests to do, and it stands to reason that the sooner she can rescue her relatives, the better.But she is only a ten-year-old girl now, and there are too few things she can do.

As for saving lives, it is an impossible task.

After pondering for a while, Qian said carefully, "I plan to enter the palace."

Even if the faint king is in power, there are still many nobles in the palace.If she can get the protection of a nobleman, it is better to take advantage of the nobleman than to do it alone.

Besides, the palace is also close to the political center, so it is the fastest and most effective way for her to keep abreast of the situation in this world.

"Sanni, are you going to enter the palace??" Liuwa only followed Qian Xixi's lead, but he was still surprised when he heard Qian Xixi's decision.

"But I heard from my mother that there are tigers in the palace who eat people and don't spit out their bones. If you don't pay attention, you will lose your head. In the draft last year, there were still people in our village who would rather ruin their appearance than go to the palace!"

The people all over the world regard the faint emperor as the source of anger, but accept him to oppress them, and the complaints in their hearts have already accumulated to a critical value.There are a lot of girls who don't want to enter the palace even if they ruin their faces.

Therefore, the drafts have become more and more frequent in recent years, but not many people have entered the palace.

The original owner's village is relatively remote. Although he escaped several drafts by chance, he has heard many such things.

Qian Xixi's decision is tantamount to suicide in the eyes of others.

"Don't worry, I'm so dark, even if I enter the palace, I will only be a rough servant girl, and I won't meet any nobles."

Weird.

She just went for the nobleman.

Liu Wa looked confused.

Like Qian Xixi, it belongs to the dark face of a rural child, and both eyebrows can be knotted.

Qian Xixi spoke lightly, but since she was a child, she was indoctrinated into the concept that entering the palace is tantamount to death, and Liuwa was inexplicably worried.

Thinking that his hometown is hundreds of thousands of miles away, whether he can go back is still unknown.

Coupled with the fact that there are many children in the family, one more is not too many, and one less is quite a lot. The desire of the sixth child to go home is far less obvious than that of others.

"How about...shall I go with you?" What Liu Wa was thinking was that after all, they were partners who lived and died together, and if they entered the palace together, they might have someone to take care of them.

As a result, the enthusiasm was extinguished by Qian Xixi's words:

"A boy needs to be cut when he enters the palace, are you sure?"

Liuwa: ...

He, he doesn't want to be a eunuch! !
The little boy felt that it was time to show his knowledge.

As soon as Liuwa was persuaded to go back, this guy appeared to make trouble: "There is another way to enter the palace."

As expected, Liu Wa's eyes fell on him, full of longing.

The young master coughed twice, raised his chin and said, "If you learn martial arts, you might be able to pass the entrance examination as a guard guarding the palace gate."

Liuwa: ...

If he had martial arts, could he still be a savage in the mountains in such a mess? !
Except for Liuwa, the other children wanted to go home, but the friendship of the past half month made them reluctant to part.

In the end, it was Qian Xixi who made an agreement, "Within one year after I enter the palace, I will find a way to buy a small house outside and name it Shisanju. Then we can still get together in Shisanju."

"This is a good way!" The young master's eyes lit up, "If you don't worry about entering the palace now, when I see my parents, my parents can also contribute to buy a small house in Wangzhong City."

There are only thirteen of them, and Thirteen Houses represent the support and friendship of these thirteen people!
After confirming his itinerary in a few words, the young master asked the shop to pay some money for their travel expenses for returning home and visiting Zhongcheng, and they went their separate ways.

As for Liu Wa, she still decided to go with Qian Xixi.Even if he doesn't enter the palace, he still has to find a job in Wangzhong City so that he can contact Qian Xixi.

Qian Xixi was lucky, and after only a few days of leaving, another edict from the palace was passed down, saying it was a draft.

In the draft, not everyone can be the master.Only those daughters with family backgrounds can be masters, and the talent show for the common people is actually recruiting maids for the masters in the palace.

There are no requirements, just two points, good facial features and special skills.

Qian Xixi must have met the standard of good facial features, but her skin is darker, so it's not a big problem.

As for specialty.

After thinking about it carefully, Qian said that he has too many specialties and adapts to the situation.

The chief officer said: ... I suspect you are bragging.

So he gave Qian Xixi a topic on cooking skills, makeup, manners, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even martial arts.

Then I saw that this shabby-looking black girl passed the examination unexpectedly except for martial arts.

He had to pay attention that this was a little girl with too many skills and a bit of cleverness.

As the entourage of this money, Liu Wa also paid for the fare all the way.

Because of Qian Xixi's outstanding performance and the fact that fewer and fewer people were recruited in the draft in recent years, she was sent to the queen's palace as the most outstanding one.

The queen is the niece of King Baokang, and King Baokang is the emperor's uncle.The marriage contract between the two was bestowed by the first emperor, so even if the current emperor doesn't like the queen, he has to respect her in face.

The emperor's favorite is Shen Yurong, the oiran of Wangzhongcheng who he caught a glimpse of when he went out when he was still the prince.It's just that when his father was alive, he was very strict with him, and the emperor had to wait until he ascended the throne before taking him back to the palace.

At the beginning, for this oiran, the emperor even demoted several ministers in the court who had admonished "Shen Yurong's background is low and not allowed to enter the palace".

As soon as she entered the palace, she was granted a jade concubine.After she gave birth to a princess, she was promoted to Concubine Yugui.
