"County Lord, have a drink. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Jing Yan carefully walked to Duanyue's side with a plate, put a cup of tea in front of Duanyue, and looked at her carefully. "The county lord has been sitting here for an afternoon, let's take a rest."

Duanyue pursed her lips, took the tea in her hand, and nodded it with her lower jaw. "There's been a lot of movement outside, it's been ringing non-stop since the morning, and I haven't read this page of the book for a long time."

Jing Yan raised her head and looked out of the door with Duanyue's words, and she smiled knowingly. "Oh! That's what the county lord said! She pursed her lips and giggled. Today is the day when the show girl enters Beijing, so women from all over the country are taking carriages into Chang'an. Our Ninghou Mansion is on the main road again, so it will naturally be noisy. It would be better if the slave maid helped the county lord close the door. ”

Yes, it's the day of entering Beijing. Duanyue turned her head to look at the blue sky and white clouds looking out, and suddenly Tang Zhiyao's face flashed in her mind, and her heart was inexplicably bitter, thinking that it was a pity that these young girls in the flower season would become the most exquisite collection and be locked up in the palace.

"County lord, there is a girl outside the door who said that Miss Li of Chenzhou asked to see her, do you want to let the slave maid bring people in?" After Cuiguo left, Rong'er became the second-in-command in Ninghou's mansion except for Uncle Tong. She has a lot of experience in her work, and she is very familiar when she walks in the door.

Miss Li, Chenzhou? Duanyue touched her chin and thought it carefully, she knew Chenzhou, but she really hadn't seen this Miss Li. I don't know who it is.

"I don't know Miss Li from Chenzhou, isn't it in the wrong place?" Duanyue frowned and asked Rong'er again.

Rong'er blinked. "No, it's the girl that Vice General Xu brought back before. The slave and maid only have one side, and they should be right. ”

After listening to Rong'er's explanation, Duanyue realized that this is Miss Li of Chenzhou, who is Lao Shizi, is obviously the spring of Chenzhou! Without much to say, Duanyue hurriedly rushed out of the house and ran out of the door.

"Why did everyone come to answer when the girl came to the spring, so that the family stood alone outside the door." Duanyue ran to the door quickly, but saw Xu Xiachu just coming back. He glanced at Qi Chun, who was standing outside the door, with a puzzled expression, and hurriedly welcomed her into the house.

Duanyue was late, she didn't care about her scattered hair, and immediately looked at Qichun with an apologetic face, very guilty. "Sister Qichun, why did you come all of a sudden? I heard someone say, 'Miss Li, Chenzhou', I really didn't expect it to be you. Saying that, Duanyue took a few breaths.

Qi Chun is wearing a butterfly skirt with light pink flowers today, and the hair ornament on her head can be seen to be newly bought, and the golden hairpin is still shiny. She lowered her head and first said hello to Xu Xiachu, then turned around and couldn't wait to walk in front of Duanyue. "I'm not Lord Li's goddaughter anymore, so I simply changed my surname, isn't it Miss Li?"

Duanyue pursed her lips, and she waved her hand at Xu Xiachu and Rong'er who came with her. "It's none of you two, let's go and do our own thing." After saying that, he took Qichun's hand with joy, and immediately took her to his room.

Before Qichun sat on the hot ass, Duanyue couldn't wait to ask again and again. "Why did you come to Chang'an alone, is it to visit relatives or sightseeing, or to come to see me?"

"Neither." Qi Chun smiled and shook his head, his face slightly bitter and helpless. "The emperor's draft, the green envoy wrote my name in the book, I am here to participate in the draft."

Duanyue listened, and the teacup that she was about to hand over slipped and fell to the ground, splashing her with tea, but Duanyue didn't care about it.

"Draft? Isn't this only possible for the female dependents of officials above the sixth rank to participate? You are just a folk woman, how could the green envoy write your name in the book, it must be a mistake! Duanyue frowned, anxious and at a loss, she couldn't wait to rush to the palace immediately, and use the big brush to cross out the name of Qichun.

Qi Chun hurriedly pressed Duanyue, his eyes were very complicated. "Master Li and his wife gathered together and wanted to accept me as a concubine, and I agreed as soon as my heart softened. But as soon as I put my name on the genealogy, the messenger came. One after the other, if it is not collusion, I don't believe it. ”

She lowered her head and let out a long sigh. "I only found out later that there was a girl in the Li family, but Lord Li and Mrs. Li were reluctant to let their own daughter suffer, so they took me instead. It's a shame that they still pretend to be reluctant, and now they may be so happy in Chenzhou. ”

"How can this be reasonable, I will go and explain the reason to the people in the palace, so that the Li family deserves it!" Duanyue was about to crush a mouthful of silver teeth, and his hateful eyes were about to pop out of his sockets.

But Qi Chun's face was still calm, without any waves, just like a pool of stagnant water. She gently took Duanyue's hand, and the smile on the corner of her lips fluttered and she didn't know whether it was true or not. "Don't go, they won't recognize it. I entered the family tree, and no matter how much I argued, it was useless, just like the idiom said, 'The wood is already in the boat'. ”

"You...... Not resisting? "Duanyue is very unbelievable.

"Resist what? Entering the palace is not as bad as you think, if you are lucky enough to become a mother, it is not the best, if you don't return to Chenzhou, it's fine. Qi Chun was calm and composed, without the slightest hint of resentment.

She was facing Duanyue's face, and she always had a shallow smile, which was very flattering. "I've already learned the rules of the palace, everything is ready, and I'm just waiting for the day of the draft." As she spoke, she spun around with her open hand. "Do you see that I can see that it's a mountain woman?"

Duanyue pursed her lips and grabbed Qichun. "Are you really ready to enter the palace? You don't know how terrible it is in the palace, as long as you go in and you can't get out for the rest of your life! "It is said that the palace is deep, the beauty is sad, and when you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea. The emperor is the emperor of the world, and the spring will be the woman of the harem, and the smile of life and death is only for the king.

She really couldn't bear to see the person in front of her who could talk and laugh and become a plaything.

However, Qi Chun didn't think so, she looked at the broken porcelain pieces on the ground and was stunned. "I was born in the countryside, let alone piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I don't even know a few big characters, no one likes me, and I don't like anyone. What about entering the palace, it's better than not knowing who you are from now. ”

With that, she took a deep breath and raised her face, and Duanyue clearly saw that there was a little sparkle in her reddened eyes. "I don't know anyone in Chang'an, and I don't have too much silver taels on me, can you let me sponsor it in Ninghou Mansion, even if I beg you."

"Okay," Duanyue nodded, and the previous joy dissipated in an instant. "You can stay as long as you want."

Qi Chun paused. "It won't take long, just three days, and I'll be in the palace in three days."

She smiled brightly, like an epiphany in the night. "It would be best if you could be selected."
