Fast Travel: I Don't Want to Save the World

Chapter 81 The Story of a Beauty ([-])

The eunuch lay down with his face on the ground, with a look of fear and sincerity, for fear that King Zheng would take his anger out on him.

King Zheng's preference for the third prince is known to everyone in the country of Zheng. King Zheng has not yet decided who will take the throne in the future, but everyone knows who will get the throne in the end.Right now, someone slapped the third prince in the face in public, and even hurt him, it is tantamount to breaking ground on Tai Sui's head!
Not to mention the hurtful woman, even Sun Jin, the hostage son of Xiang Kingdom, King Zheng can immediately order someone to punish him!
"Go and ask carefully, how is Shaojie's injury?"

After concentrating for a moment, Zheng Xiaochen picked up the engraved knife again, with no expression on his face.

When a pile of bamboo slips moved from the right side of the table to the left, the eunuch who had been sent to investigate the third prince's injury came back. He knelt on the ground and replied to King Zheng's words with trembling.

"The Third Highness brought the woman back to the prison cell in the mansion, and the guards tied her to an iron chain, and then left the cell. The Third Highness ordered in advance that no one else is allowed to enter."

"Until the afternoon, the woman came out of the cell unharmed. The woman said that His Highness had changed his mind and let her go back. At that time, His Highness was sitting upright in the cave, and there was nothing wrong with it, but in the evening..."

"Throughout the afternoon, His Highness the Third Prince slept on the couch in the cell all afternoon, but in the evening, he suddenly let out a scream. Immediately afterwards, the Third Highness ordered the guards to call for the doctor."

After a while, Zheng Wang asked, "Where is the injury?"

He turned his eyes slightly, and his eyes fell on the eunuch.

The eunuch didn't even dare to take a breath: "I have burns all over my body...the doctor said it was the traces of wax dripping on the skin, and..."

"There is also a brand mark." The eunuch paused and continued: "The doctor refused to say where the injury was specifically. Our guess is that it is on the lower abdomen of His Highness the Third Highness. The person who treated His Highness the Third Highness was Dr. Wei. The doctor said that it will not affect His Highness's descendants."

"No future!" King Zheng threw the bamboo slips in his hand and asked, "Who is that woman?"

"Changsun Jin called her a distant cousin. It is reported that Changsun Jin does have several cousins. If it is a distant cousin... our family begs the king to punish her, but the identity of the woman has not been found for the time being."

Although they are distant relatives, no one knows how far this will go. Every family has a few ancestors, and every family has few brothers and sisters. Every immediate family member has collateral relatives.

The eunuch dare not make nonsense, so he can only know what he doesn't know.

Zheng Xiaochen didn't say anything after hearing this, and the hall fell silent for a moment.

The eunuch waited for a long time, but there was no movement, so he raised his head carefully and glanced up.

"I don't know my identity, but I know martial arts..." King Zheng picked up a bamboo slip and said abruptly, "Should I add a beautiful girl to the widow?"

Two days later, a copy of the invitation to enter the palace was delivered to the Changsun Mansion.

Among the servants in the royal palace, there is someone who is responsible for selecting beauties for King Zheng from among the people of Zheng State or other countries. Because of King Zheng’s attitude towards beauties, if you try a dish and find it delicious, eat it for a few more days, and discard it if you hate it. For so many years, only two women stayed in the palace, which shows how much Zheng Xiaochen likes the new and dislikes the old.

The beauty pageant attendant walks in the streets and alleys on weekdays. Once he finds a beauty, he will collect the information of the woman. After a certain period of time, he will send a show post to the door. This woman must enter the palace to serve King Zheng.

There are only two conditions for the female servants to choose, one is that she is not a married woman, and the other is that she is not the daughter of an official family. As for appearance, Zheng Xiaochen has different tastes.

Upon hearing the news, Ye Qing smiled and said, "King Zheng is quite interesting, he doesn't get involved with the daughters of his courtiers."

If he treated the daughter of his ministers like this, the monarch of Zheng State should have changed people long ago.

"There are also ministers who voluntarily sent their daughters to the palace." Ji Yu added: "Ji Wen is."

On the eve of entering the palace, Changsun Jin went to meet Ye Qing.

"Miss Ye, the eldest grandson also has the opportunity to enter Taishu Pavilion."

At the beginning and middle of each month, Changsun Jin can enter the palace.

Taishu Pavilion is located in the royal palace, and contains books and classics. As the prince of Xiang, Changsun Jin is also qualified to read and punctuate sentences and read books, but the writing is only in the hands of a very small number of people. Picking up a sword is definitely better than reading ten books.

"If the situation is not good, don't panic, ask Ji Yu to send me a letter, and I will..."

"You forgot again." Ye Qing pursed his lips and smiled, and poked his forehead lightly with his fingers: "I'm a fairy."

Ye Qing is used to being nagged, and hearing Changsun Jin's worried nagging still warms her heart.

Ji Yu entrusted someone to enter the palace one day earlier than Ye Qing as a maid, and before dawn on the second day, Ye Qing had arrived in front of the palace in a small chariot sent by the palace, and lifted the veil, she saw that there were still Eight or nine chariots and sedan chairs.

After about a quarter of an hour, a group of eleven women followed an eunuch and walked towards Concubine Ji's bedroom.

Concubine Ji is in charge of the affairs of the harem and does not have the title of queen, but her status in the palace and power in her hands are no different from that of a queen.

The ostentation of Concubine Ji is not small, and the furnishings in the palace are all exquisite, all of which show the status of the owner to everyone.

The eleven women were brought into the bedroom by the eunuch, all of them posing in the most seductive poses and the most charming expressions, expecting to be selected by Concubine Ji and push them to King Zheng as soon as possible, even though King Zheng changed beauties so quickly. Changing clothes, but everyone has a little luck in their hearts, what if she is the most special woman?What if she could get a different favor from King Zheng?What if she could stay in the palace like Concubine Ji?
Ye Qing was standing at the end, her eyes were a little dull, she seemed to be in a daze.

In fact, Ye Qing's spiritual consciousness has already been stripped from his body.

After sweeping the palace, she found two great things.

There is a small hill behind the palace, and there is a natural soup pool at the bottom. After exploring the spiritual sense, Ye Qing found that it contains spiritual energy, which is not as strong as the spiritual energy emitted by Zixia Waterfall, but it is the best place in the entire Dandan City.

Before that, Ye Qing didn't find this good place.

Compared with the ordinary way to absorb spiritual power, soaking in the hot springs rich in spiritual energy can be said to be more effective. It can not only absorb spiritual energy better, but also regulate the body and nourish the meridians.

And the second best thing...

Ye Qing's face unconsciously showed that kind of "taking advantage of the sky" smile, and then glanced at the man in the soup pool, she almost couldn't help laughing out loud, and the smile blossomed on her face.

The appearance of the man in the hot spring is as high as [-]% similar to Ye Qing's favorite actor Yang Ze. The two have different charms, but the eyebrows, eyes, lips, and body shape are exactly the same.

Even though this is the 36-year-old version of Yang Ze, Ye Qing still feels dizzy for a while.

At the same time, Concubine Ji, who was waiting so much for the newly entered palace, finally moved to the hall after standing for more than an hour with their backs aching.

According to the ancient and modern international practice, the seniors usually give the newcomers a meeting ceremony - dismount.

Concubine Ji took her seat, looked at the woman behind, frowned and said angrily, "Why are you laughing?"

(Note 1: This part takes the Shang Dynasty as the background, and the writing tools are mostly carving knives and bamboo slips, and there should be but few brushes; Note 2: Eunuch = eunuch)
