Chapter 6 Arriving in the capital

In the carriage, Yuan Chongjie opened his eyes and lifted the curtain. Qian Yong hurriedly stretched out his hand, and Yuan Chongjie helped Qian Yong's hand get out of the carriage and walked into the inn.

And the show girls all went back to the room. Because I am worried that if I don't notice it for a while, some people will run, and Jinzhou City, as the city of the capital, has many people coming and going, and the crowd is dense, and it is not easy to catch people once they run. Show girls are not allowed to come to the hall to eat, and Xiao Er will send them to the door of the room and eat in the room.

In room 201, Xiang'er and Tianling were dining. Seeing Tianling eating calmly, without a little sadness on his face, Xiang'er asked in a puzzled whisper: "Tianling, you are about to arrive in the capital, ...... Not worried? ”

"It's coming, and it's useless to worry about sorrow at this time. I'm thinking about what we should do when we get to the capital, how to escape their sight. Tian Ling looked at her and replied in a low voice when she stopped eating.

"Have you figured out a way to do that?"

"Thought of it"

"What is it?" asked Xiang'er curiously.

Tianling looked at Xiang'er's eyes, and said mysteriously under her expectant eyes: "If I don't tell you, you will know when the time comes"

Xiang'er was suddenly a little depressed, pursed her lips, and looked at Tianling with a resentful gaze.

provoked Tianling to chuckle, "Okay, okay, let's eat, I won't tease you." When the time comes, I have my own way, you can relax, eat and drink, and wait for that day. ”

"Okay," Xiang'er replied dejectedly.

Then, the two quietly finished their lunch.

When night came, because they couldn't go out, Tianling and Xiang'er casually had some dinner and lay on the bed, covering the quilt and chatting.

"Tianling, I miss my mother a little, you said that my mother can't find me, will you cry urgently" Xiang'er looked at the top of the tent and said quietly.

"Xiang'er, when I came to look for you, I went outside the city lord's mansion, and the city lord said that he would inform some of the arrested family members who didn't know that it was the draft, and the city lord would have preferential treatment. You take care of yourself now, and you will have a chance to go back later. Only a few of these show girls are unknown to their families, and the rest of their families know that they are going to the draft. Tian Ling took her hand under the quilt and whispered.

"Moreover, this draft seems to also include the selection of adult princes." The heavenly spirits continued.

"Then don't we want to run away before the concubine selection conference?"

"Yes, if you are designated as the concubine or side concubine of any prince, there will be a special person to take care of it, teach piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and then enter the prince's mansion as a concubine." This is what the Heavenly Spirit learned when he controlled the mind of the young lady. Since listening to Xiang'er's description, Tian Ling read her heart with a mind control technique on the carriage for safety. Sure enough, he is a scheming one, all just to become the side concubine of Mo Lixuan, the second prince today.

"I'd rather be a wife from a poor family than a concubine from a high family." This is what my mother has always taught me, she often said, you don't have to be rich and expensive, ordinary but precious, there will not be too many bad things, Xiang'er sighed.

"So, we don't just have to escape, we have to be okay if we can't go back for the time being. Sleep, don't think about it, everything is with me," said the heavenly spirit.

"Hmm" Xiang'er looked at Tianling and nodded with a smile.

Tianling closed his eyes, Xiang'er looked at Tianling's side face, and said in her heart: I don't know why, it seems that with you by my side, I am really not very afraid. Then, he turned his head and closed his eyes.

The night was still very long, and both of them slept soundly this night. One is because the destination is coming, and the other is because there is no longer a fear and someone to protect it.

The next day, after breakfast, the carriage carrying the show girl drove to the capital. Along the way, some people are happy and some are sad.

In the evening, the group finally arrived in the capital. Yuan Chongjie took out the token and showed it to the guards at the city gate for inspection. The "sir" guard checked it and saluted and let him go.

The carriage drove all the way to the door of the Xiu Nu Pavilion.

Xiunu Pavilion - It was established by court officials during the reign of the founding emperor of Molin in order to obtain the emperor's consent for the emperor's draft. Not far to the right in front of the palace gate, it takes only a quarter of an hour to walk from the gate.

"It's here, all the show girls get off," the steward Qian Yong called. At the same time, there was another group of show girls who also came to the door of the show girl pavilion, about a dozen people. A middle-aged woman with a thin body and wearing a female official's costume walked out of the Xiunu Pavilion.

"Lord Yuan, Lord Wei" The middle-aged woman saluted. The two returned the gift: Wen is in charge.

Wen Qing, the head of the Xiunu Pavilion, a five-grade female official, is also responsible for all the daily management of the Xiunu Pavilion, and is responsible for cultivating the Xiunu Pavilion.

"The two adults have worked hard and tired." Wen Qing said politely.

"Where, it's not hard, it's really hard to do things."

Wen Qing chuckled, didn't be polite anymore, and organized the show girl to enter the show girl pavilion. After the number of all the show girls was counted and recorded, all the show girls entered the show girl pavilion, and Yuan Chongjie and Wei Yanjing left. In this way, what accidents happen later in time have nothing to do with them.

Wen Qing looked at their backs as they left and walked away, and also turned around and went back to the Xiunu Pavilion.

The new show girls stood in several rows in the lobby, in addition to those from Yunqi City, there were also people from other places, and those who arrived in advance all came to the lobby to listen to the training.

Wen Qing walked up the steps and looked at the people below. said: "It is your blessing to come to the Show Girl Pavilion. Here, you can't assert what you should do, what you should do, what you shouldn't do, you must know in your hearts. I hope that you will carefully study all kinds of etiquette and strive to be brilliant at the concubine selection conference. I know what you're thinking, and if you want to win the favor of the princes, it's up to you to do it. After speaking, Wen Qing looked at the person who recorded the show girl next to him and asked: Is the red makeup room enough? The red makeup room is the room where the show girl lives. "Back to Auntie, it's enough. Only this time there were more than thirty little show girls, and there was no room in their room," replied a teenage maid.

"Sort out the small attic in the middle of the backyard and let them live together," Wen Qing ordered.

"Yes".

"Now, go to your own room, go out, but you must come back on time, for if you don't come back, your friends will be implicated. Think about the consequences for yourselves, and disperse. ”

Everyone dispersed, each went to get his room number, and went to find a room. Tianling and Xiang'er and the other show girls sat down on the stairs in the lobby, waiting for the small attic to be cleaned up.

After about two quarters of an hour, they were packed, and a maid came to lead them to the little attic. Because the small attic is very large, one person can have one room, and Xiang'er wants two people together. But the heavenly spirit said:

"One room is bigger, and besides, we're next door to each other, and we're all the same."

Xiang'er thought for a moment, "It's the same."

"Then let's go find a better location."

"Hmm," Xiang'er nodded heavily.

The two of them found the side room, two next to each other, and each pushed the door and walked in. The heavenly spirit looked at the layout of the room, the dresser, and all kinds of accessories.

Tianling sighed: The rooms of the show girls are so elegant, so if these show girls enter the palace, how gorgeous is the palace?

As soon as Tianling made the bed, Xiang'er came to look for her.

"Tianling, let's go out for a walk, many of them have gone out."

"What, don't worry about it?" The Heavenly Spirit laughed.

"Isn't there a saying that what comes is safe, hehe." Xiang'er smirked.

After speaking, the two held hands together and walked out of the Xiunu Pavilion.
