Chapter 53: The Dark Guard Leaves
However, there is still more than a year before that time, and it is difficult to predict what will happen in this year-plus, so it is not too late to think about this matter when the time comes.
It's a pity that the high value of force in this world doesn't seem to be of much use, otherwise, why would Chen Yu be so distressed, with his own strength, he would be able to let his relatives live a good life. In fact, going to be a palace maid is also a job to serve people, and it is even more difficult to meet a bad master, Chen Yu is very worried about a few sisters, but unfortunately now that he has made a choice, it is too late to regret it.
It's a pity that Chen Yu's ability can't be taught to others, otherwise, Chen Yu can teach it to a few sisters, and save his life at a critical time in the future.
Looking at the snow outside the window, Chen Yu sighed helplessly, and could only take one step at a time.
Chen Yu has been studying prescriptions these days, because the medical books found by the secret guard are all to cure diseases and save people, and there are very few people who really study poison, but being able to know how to configure poison and how to detoxify is also a skill, and it may also save lives at critical times, so in winter, everyone is at home, Chen Yu began to teach a few sisters some medical knowledge, of course, Chen Bao is also listening, Chen Yu naturally will not forget the most precious brother in the family.
"Xiaoyu is really amazing, we studied together, you can learn so much knowledge, we still want you to teach us, how do you feel that Xiaoyu is the eldest sister, we are the younger sister." A couple of sisters said.
The child's sense is still very keen, Chen Yu is not a real child, so compared to these real children, isn't it the feeling of a big sister. Of course, Chen Yu didn't dare to tell the truth, so he could only respond with a smile, anyway, the sisters just said it casually, and they didn't mean anything else at all.
At the beginning of spring, Chen Yu was five years old, and it has been five years since he came to this world, and Chen Yu has grown into a little girl.
This winter guard was not idle, going to other villages to teach the children he liked, after all, his task was not only to train Chen Yu and the four of them.
The secret guard knows that the draft will start at the beginning of spring, and the emperor will not delay long if he delays the canonization of the queen, and it will take a year at most, and I am afraid that all the officials in the court will start to advise.
Because the teaching was relatively smooth, the secret guard even wanted to send some children into the palace in advance to help the emperor's master. The two years that the emperor said can actually be temporarily adapted, if you learn well and can use it early, then the emperor will be very happy.
However, there are not many people who are really qualified, so if you want to send people in this year, the number will definitely be very small. Every year, the Ministry of Internal Affairs selects some palace maids to supplement the court, so this is actually more unaware.
However, these are not the turn of the Chen Lin sisters, after all, the Chen Lin sisters are too far away from the palace, and the secret guard means to take advantage of the year just after the drought to send in a group of orphan girls, and there is not much time, and no one will doubt their identity.
Soon in the spring, the Chen family because of the more land than in previous years, so the family has to work a lot more by themselves, but the next planting can still be dealt with by their own family, the Chen family did not rent out the land, after all, three consecutive years of tax exemption, or their own planting is more cost-effective, the big deal is really too busy to ask some short-term workers to help.
Chen Daniu is 11 years old, and her mother has begun to teach Chen Daniu various affairs, after all, she can get married at the age of fifteen here. Therefore, now Chen Daniu is cooking all the meals in Chen Yu's house, and Wang Guihua has also begun to teach Chen Daniu to make clothes and so on.
Chen Daniu knew that she would go to the palace in a year, so she didn't rule out learning more, but she was a little sorry for her mother who was picking up which son was better at this time. The palace maid can't leave the palace before she is twenty-five years old, so Chen Dayu feels that even if she is engaged at this time, it is impossible for the other party to wait so long, let alone just look at each other, but it is just a waste of effort.
However, because of confidentiality, Chen Daniu couldn't tell her mother clearly, so she could only be more filial to her mother and apologize.
Chen Yu's family often has the "tonic that Chen Yu dug in the mountains" stewed soup to drink, so the martial arts progress of several girls is very good.
In the spring and summer, the draft in the palace finally began, and this time many concubines were selected, but the highest was only a concubine, and there was no competitiveness for several ladies in high positions. However, the emperor made up his mind not to choose the queen now, but to wait for a while, and look at the tables of the concubines and concubines in the harem and the family background to decide, although the queen mother is not very satisfied with such a decision, but after all, the emperor is the emperor, although it is said to be the mother and son in name, but the queen mother also knows that she can't fall out with the emperor.
Anyway, the emperor didn't choose anyone else, so they each took a step back, forming a harem that is now respected by Concubine Jia, after all, without the queen, Concubine Jiagui has the highest position. This is also the reason for the Queen Mother's compromise, after all, the Queen Mother's niece is the first person in the harem, even if the emperor is not canonized as the queen now, sooner or later one day will be canonized, and after a long time, the Queen Mother will also work with her courtiers to exert pressure, and there will be no change in the future.
Although they will enter the palace in the future, Chen Yu and the others are now in this small mountain village, so they naturally don't know anything about the situation in the palace, and when they enter the palace, they will find that the palace is really a hundred flowers contending, and how fierce the battle between the palaces is.
"I've been teaching you for half a year, and it's time to change places, you are at home, continue to study, and when the election is held next year, go to the palace. When the time comes, I will come to contact you, and after you enter the palace, you will not do anything, and no one will know your identity except me, so if someone else bombs you, you should know what to do. I will only show up when I have something to tell you, you just need to pay more attention to some things around you, if I don't come to you, you can be a palace maid in peace, and you will be free after leaving the palace at the age of twenty-five. The Dark Guard said.
Chen Yu reacted immediately after hearing this, originally thought that if they joined the organization, they would have backstage backers, and they had to work hard for others for a long time, but others would not admit them at all, if they were really in trouble, no one would help them, it was too much, isn't this deception, they knew that there was a way to enter the palace, they could go by themselves, and they didn't have to follow the secret guard.
Although the other party has taught Chen Yu and the sisters a lot of things these days, Chen Yu is still very uncomfortable in his heart.
However, they were not happy in their hearts, and they couldn't express themselves, and several people still needed to express their reluctance to leave the secret guard. After the secret guard left, the four sisters immediately found a secluded place and held a short meeting.
