After her rebirth, she became the sweetheart of the sickly uncle.

I saw the gatekeeper scanning several people around suspiciously, his eyes meaningful, and finally pointed somewhere on the left.

Su Qingcheng always felt that his eyes were strange, as if he had been looking at Ye Tantai, but Ye Tantai had been looking at him so he didn't notice.

"Prince and concubine," Fu Yi came back and said, "The man said it was too late today and would not allow people from other countries to enter. He asked us to go to the inn on the left to rest for the night."

Su Qingcheng looked over there, and it seemed that there was indeed a little light seeping out deep in the jungle.

"That's all, do as the Romans do and don't cause too much repercussions." Su Qingcheng said.

With her instructions, Ye Tantai would definitely follow her wishes.

The group of people got back on the carriage and walked into the dense forest.

Su Qingcheng thought it would be a shabby, barely habitable inn, but she didn't expect that this tall and majestic building in front of her would appear on the border of Beiyuan.

The Qilin stone statue guards a big red door, above which is a red lacquered wood plaque with gold rims, and two eye-catching golden characters.

Su Qingcheng looked at the dramas on both sides and was a little surprised. There were many carriages parked around the station.

She was very confused: "Are there so many people from other countries coming to Beiyuan in recent days?"

Looking at the decorations and materials on these carriages, they are not carriages that ordinary people can afford. There are some signs of Nanye and Dongling among them.

Is it possible that there are some major diplomatic events in Beiyuan these days?

"Is there anything big going on in Beiyuan these days? Why are so many people coming?" Su Qingcheng said.

Ye Tantai said: "I specially sent people to inspect it a few days ago, but there was nothing. The shadow guards of Diqiu City also said that Beiyuan is as usual."

"Then what's going on?" Su Qingcheng was already surprised by the number of carriages outside.

"You'll find out once you go in and take a look."

Ye Tantai supported Su Qingcheng. She was more than three months pregnant and her belly was slightly swollen.

Ye Tantai walked carefully beside her every time, for fear of something happening, but Su Qingcheng felt that he was making a fuss.

It was so obvious that a passing dog might know she was pregnant.

But I was afraid that he would be worried, so I just followed him.

Several people walked to the door of the inn and were greeted by two young men wearing Beiyuan costumes with smiling faces.

"I don't know which country these guests are from. Are they traveling to Beijing or staying in a hotel?"

Su Qingcheng said: "Staying in a hotel, I wonder if there are any free rooms in the hotel?"

"Yes, there are. We have seven or forty-nine rooms in our store. You guys came at the right time. We have important events in Beiyuan these days. Forty-eight rooms are now occupied, and there is only one left. ." The boy was very enthusiastic.

It stands to reason that it is getting so late now, and the boys at these inns should not have enough energy to deal with the guests. Unexpectedly, the person in front of me looks full of energy.

Makes you really feel at home.

"That's great." Su Qingcheng smiled slightly.

The waiter led a few people into the lobby. Su Qingcheng originally thought that the decoration outside was enough to surprise her. After walking in, she found that Beiyuan was really as expensive as the rumors said.

It's obviously just an inn, but it's built like a palace in a royal palace, very luxurious.

Its beams, brackets, doors and windows are all made of fine red sandalwood, inlaid with gold, silver, pearls, emerald agate and other precious stones.

Su Qingcheng couldn't help but ask: "Is your Beiyuan even an ordinary overseas post station so luxurious?"

The boy explained again and again: "No, no, the inns in our country are a little more low-key than this. It's just that there are only four overseas inns in total, which are for people from other countries who want to enter our country from different directions. Everyone who comes is a guest. .Since you are a guest, you should naturally treat him well."

I see……

Su Qingcheng felt a little strange.

This Beiyuan is really strange. He keeps saying that he wants to give the best to the guests, but the result is that they were turned away by the gatekeeper because they arrived at night.

It really feels like saying one thing and doing another.

It was brightly lit and full of people.

"Why don't these people stay in their own rooms and gather in the hall?" Huo Mei asked warily.

"My little master, they are all here to make friends. In the past few days, our empress is holding a pet selection ceremony for the princess who is about to return. They all come here to participate in the pet selection."

Su Qingcheng said in surprise: "Has your princess returned?"

"Not yet, but soon." When he mentioned the princess, the boy's face was filled with a happy smile.

In the country of Beiyuan, everyone from the royal family to the common people is truly united.

"So so many men are here to participate in the election for the emperor's favorite male?" Su Qingcheng said.

This completely overturned the concept she had held for so many years. The concubine selection system had been aimed at women since she knew it.

In Nanye, concubines were selected for the harem every three years, and the ministers tried their best to get their daughters to compete for favor in the harem.

Little did they know that it was a prison that ate people but did not spit out bones.

"Yes, aren't you the same?" the boy said.

As he spoke, he looked at Ye Tantai.

The look in his eyes was meaningful. Even though he had seen so many foreigners, the man in front of him was the most handsome he had seen in more than 20 years.

Although the appearance of the woman next to her is also very outstanding, it is not difficult to tell from her slightly bulging belly that she is a pregnant woman.

Ye Tantai seemed to be aware of the young man's hot gaze and was a little unhappy. Just when he was about to refute him, Su Qingcheng immediately pinched his hand.

She grabbed the conversation and said, "Yes, yes, why not? We are here to participate in this male favorite election."

"That's right, if you know that you can become the prince's favorite boy, not to mention the nine clans, even your country will follow you to get this honor." The boy said excitedly.

"Really? Then how should we choose this male favorite?" Su Qingcheng asked curiously.

"I don't know the specifics of this," the boy said, "You just need to rest here for one night. Tomorrow morning, the city gate will be wide open, and our guys at the post station will naturally wake you up and take you into the city gate in person."

"it is good."

Only then did Su Qingcheng realize that the gatekeeper had the same meaning when he looked at Ye Tantai just now.

He may have thought that Ye Tantai was also preparing to run for the emperor's favor...

"It's really funny to say that the princess chose her male favorite before she even saw him." Su Qingcheng joked.

Ye Tantai said with an unhappy look on his face: "Why did you say that just now? Do you not care about my reputation so much?"

He was angry why Su Qingcheng admitted that they were also running for the prince's male favorite.

"That's not what I meant. You know, after all, we are sneaking into other countries now, so do as the Romans do." Su Qingcheng coaxed perfunctorily.
