Well, something of such a high level is too difficult to understand. Anyway, the women were sent here and there as gifts.

"How were these ten concubines selected?" Xia Xiaodong is already looking for an opportunity to lose.

"This year happens to be the year of the draft, so they will be selected according to the order of the pearls." Daoist Xuanyuan knew everything about this, "Your ranking is quite high, ranking third among the twelve show girls." ”

"Twelve?" Xia Xiaodong raised his eyebrows.

I just said that it was ten, why did I add two more in the blink of an eye?

"It's a long way to go to Beiqi Mountain, and it's hard to ensure the safety of everyone on the road, so I'll have two more." The answer is right away.

I still have to prepare for attrition.

"Sort of beads?" Xia Xiaodong thought about it for a while, he only got twelve pearls, and he was one point with Yao Niangzi, and there were only six left. It's the bigger of the twelve, but it's not a big deal, right? Can this still be ranked third?

"Every time I come to the draft, the beads will be sorted. However, it is not sorted by quantity, but by proportion. Xuanyuan Dao Changqi said: "You don't even know this, do you?" ”

I'm just here to get soy sauce ....... Xia Xiaodong actually didn't understand too much, what is the ratio to what? However, she was not ready to waste time on this, and hurriedly turned to ask: "Since King Qi is only married in May, it will take a while to set off, and there is still a chance for change?" ”

I'm afraid of comparisons in everything, compared with being sent to the country of Qi with black eyes to be Concubine Teng, it seems that other ways are much better. The scale of Prince Min's Mansion has plummeted in Xia Xiaodong's eyes, and Ning Twenty-six's stepmother and many brothers and concubines are not so difficult to accept.

"Hehe," Daoist Xuanyuan tugged at the corners of his mouth, "There may be a chance, but it's not easy." Think for yourself. ”

Xia Xiaodong nodded, knowing that he couldn't count on Daoist Xuanyuan for everything. At that moment, he took out the purse, picked out another object, and handed it over.

"This works well with small whitebait." As long as Daoist Xuanyuan puts two things in one place, he will naturally find out where the mystery is.

In fact, there is nothing at all, just a miniature magnetic levitation. The principle is very simple, the operation is difficult, probably a little easier than erecting eggs.

"I'm afraid that the girl will stay in the palace for a while, and we will have a date later." Daoist Xuanyuan smiled and waved the sleeves of his robe, and put things away in a blink of an eye.

……

……

When Miss Qin saw Xia Xiaodong coming back, she immediately came over: "Who is looking for you?" What's the matter? ”

Gossip is always Miss Qin's favorite.

Xia Xiaodong was reluctant to spend time on the details, so he grabbed Miss Qin Si and asked, "Do you know the Qi Kingdom in our north?" Tell me about it. ”

"Qi Guo?" Miss Qin Si blinked: "Of course I know." Didn't our Great Chu ancestor back then be separated from the Qi State? ”

And such a thing?

"Isn't your family guarding the frontier? Although it's not on the side of the Qi country, don't you know this? Miss Qin Si was puzzled.

"I really don't know." Xia Xiaodong pulled Miss Qin Si, found a place to sit, and said with a smile: "I didn't like to listen to these ancient records before, and my father was not often at home, so I really haven't heard of it." Good sister, tell me about it. ”

In fact, the things of the year were very simple, and they were all over in a few words.

Several countries in this vicinity, Northern Qi, Southern Chudong, Lin Xishao, were originally one Great Qi. A few years ago, there was a violent king in this great Qi, and finally caused the people to be angry and committed, and people from all walks of life rose up one after another, click, click, click, and broke out the three kingdoms of Chu, Lin, and Ye.

The territory was torn apart, and the tyrant was pulled down by the situation, and the Zen position was given to his younger brother, and then the new monarch slowly stabilized the situation, and finally saved most of it.

Now, although these three countries have been around for some years, there is always a bit of mustard in the Qi country, which is probably similar to the mood of the independent son to Lao Tzu.

"Have you heard anything about Qi Kingdom?" Miss Qin Si is not stupid, and she has a lot of news tentacles.

"Well...... it's hard to say now, but you'll hear about it in a while." Xia Xiaodong hesitated for a moment, and just inquired about the affairs of Qi Guo with Miss Qin Si, but he refused to repay the favor, which was unkind, but the news of Daoist Xuanyuan seemed to be really not suitable for release now, so he had to perfunctory Qin Si.

It turned out that Xia Xiaodong thought too much, because Miss Qin Si was also left behind.

……

……

Around the time of the unitary hour, the last group of show girls retreated from the imperial front. Cui Shangyi and Lin Shangyi both showed relieved looks, and the rumored show girls got up and prepared to go back to the summer resort.

Except for the twelve girls.

Xia Xiaodong looked at it coldly, the girls who were left behind were all outstanding people, but most of the fathers and brothers in the family did not have very high official positions - the ladies of the real high-ranking officials and noble families either did not come to the draft, or they were all pointed out.

The last person left behind was Miss Qin Si.

"No," among the twelve people, Miss Qin Si and Xia Xiaodong were acquaintances, and they were dumbfounded: "Are we going to be selected to be the little master?" It's not in order! In the past, those who were chosen were all given jade ruyi in front of the emperor. ”

Little Lord? You're thinking so beautifully.

"It's not." Xia Xiaodong said gloomily: "Don't tell others first." I heard that the new monarch of Qi is getting married, and we are all going to send it over as gifts. ”

"The new monarch of the Qi Kingdom? Is it that the previous Prince Jianhong ascended the throne? Miss Qin's focus is very different from Xia Xiaodong's: "Really? Prince Jianhong is a famous beautiful man in the world! I heard that the princess before him was the Yilan girl who let the three thousand athletes disarm together! ”

"Just because the Yilan girl's surname is Zhen, she has the reputation of Zhen (true) national color!" Miss Qin's eyes were shining, obviously she had an infinite yearning for handsome men and beautiful women, and then she found out that something was wrong: "Eh, why is it going to get married again, is Concubine Zhen dead?" I don't think I've heard of it. ”

Is it really my arsenic, man's honey? Why didn't Miss Qin feel that it was a sad thing to become a concubine Teng at all?

The girls who were left behind, you look at me, I look at you, most of them have uneasiness in their eyes.

In the huge side hall that soon emptied, a mere twelve girls, as weak as little lambs to be slaughtered, gathered together unconsciously, waiting for someone to tell them the details.

They don't have to wait too long.

Soon there was the sound of footsteps at the entrance of the hall, and several eunuchs and palace maids lined up. Xia Xiaodong was at the head of the team and saw an acquaintance.

Cai Zhongguan.

Xia Xiaodong thought that the lieutenant who was in charge of going to Xuannan and other three provinces to select draft girls would deliver the errand after returning to the capital, but he didn't expect to meet again here.
