Yang Yunxi thought about the draft, and finally couldn't help but ask Gu Qingyu: "Changsheng, do you know about the draft?" ”

"Draft?" Gu Qingyu glanced at Yang Yunxi in confusion: "Why did you think of asking this?" After a pause, she suddenly remembered what she had heard her grandmother and mother say in a trance: "You mean, this time the palace is preparing for the draft?" ”

Gu Qingyu didn't think to hide anything.

When Yang Yunxi saw Gu Qingyu say this, he knew in his heart that he was afraid that this matter was already a sure thing. At that moment, he sighed secretly in his heart, couldn't help frowning slightly, hesitated for a moment and finally asked, "Then do you know if there is a way to escape the draft?" This matter is not something that can be discussed casually, she subconsciously lowered her voice. Only whispered to Gu Qingyu.

Gu Qingyu was stunned for a moment, and then understood: "You don't want to participate in the draft." ”

Yang Yunxi smiled bitterly and replied, "What do you think of the palace?" In her opinion, Gu Qingyu should know a lot about the palace.

Gu Qingyu thought about it carefully, and finally said softly: "The palace is indeed not as good as the outside. Indeed, if you can not participate in the draft, it is better not to participate in the draft. ”

After a pause, Gu Qingyu looked at Yang Yunxi, and said bluntly: "Especially if you are not from a high background, entering the palace is just being oppressed, and it is not easy to live a decent life." If it's worse, I'm afraid I'll have to be assigned to be a female official in major palaces. said that she was a female official, and she was also a high-ranking palace maid, and she was also a servant. Although female officials are generally released to marry, they are also old at that time, and it is not easy to find a suitable person to marry. It's not to fill the house, or if the other party has something wrong with it, it can't be said that it's a kiss, otherwise, you can't get married and stay at home as an old girl. ”

It's really nothing good.

Yang Yunxi was a little concerned by this, but she was still a little surprised: "It turns out that the people who stayed in the palace have become concubines or given to princes and nobles?" ”

Gu Qingyu sneered and rolled his eyes directly: "How can there be so many princes and nobles who need concubines from the palace?" It is just a few adult princes in the palace or a few adult grandsons now. Besides, they would love to give them less stuffing. With their identity, what kind of woman can't get it? Where do you need to be given by the palace? Don't have to add two more eyeliner to yourself staring at yourself? ”

After saying this, Gu Qingyu was a little afraid that Yang Yunxi would not be able to accept it, so he glanced at her, and finally saw that she was listening attentively, and after not being too surprised but looking thoughtful, Gu Qingyu said again: "Besides, in the palace, the palace is nothing more than leaving a few girls with prominent families to fill the harem to balance the forces of the previous dynasty." Isn't there a place for the others? But there is no need to put them home—there is a shortage of people in the palace, and you think about it, these beautiful women are left in the palace, and I wonder when they will come in handy again? ”

"It's reasonable that you don't want to go to the palace to go to the draft." Gu Qingyu nodded clearly and affirmatively.

Yang Yunxi didn't know what to say, so he asked again: "Then do you know if there is any way not to enter the palace?" ”

Gu Qingyu pondered for a while, and finally shook his head: "I don't know this either." However, I heard that if the appearance or posture is not up to par, I will not stay. Even if you run, you will be sent back. The other one is to look at the face, and don't want the face to be bad. ”

"What if you happen to be sick during that time? Or what kind of acne do you have on your face? Yang Yunxi asked what he thought.

"Let's take a look at the situation. If it's not serious, you can recuperate for a few days, but I'm afraid you still have to run for election. Gu Qingyu shook his head: "It's not so easy to dodge. However, if you really don't want to go, maybe you can think of something with money - I can ask my brother to help you find a relationship. Not to mention escaping the draft, it is okay to enter the palace and then be returned home if the conditions do not match. ”

However, in this case, the reputation may not be so good. But where in this world is there a good thing to have both fish and bear's paws?

Yang Yunxi nodded, feeling a little bit in his heart. At the end, he couldn't help but thank him again: "Thank you, Changsheng." ”

Gu Qingyu shook his head with a smile: "What is this?" I can't help you with anything. Yunxi, you-"

"My nickname is Ah Zi." Yang Yunxi smiled brightly and reached out to hold Gu Qingyu's hand: "If I call you by a nickname, how about you also call me by a nickname?" In fact, this nickname was only called by Xue Yueqing. It is likely that no one will remember it at all except for Li's mother. But today, she really wanted to tell Gu Qingyu this name.

Without him, it was because she suddenly felt the kind of emotion in Gu Qingyu that was very similar to Xue Yueqing's for her. If nothing else, at least, they are all the same sincerity and sincerity, without expecting anything in return.

Gu Qingyu was stunned for a moment, and then followed the kindness: "Ah Zi." ”

Yang Yunxi responded, and couldn't help laughing: "It's so good." ”

"yes, that's nice." Gu Qingyu also smiled, and suddenly asked at the end: "If you can choose by yourself, would you like to return to the capital or stay in the countryside?" ”

Yang Yunxi thought about this question seriously, and then said, "I will still come back." ”

"Why? Is the countryside bad? Gu Qingyu asked in a daze, "Although I haven't been there." But after listening to your description, I think it must be very good. It's not bustling, but it's peaceful ......and peaceful."

"It's not bad." Yang Yunxi shook his head with a smile, "But there is a reason why I have to come back." After a pause, she diverted the topic: "Okay, let's not talk about this, the weather is so good, why don't you go on a swing?" ”

Gu Qingyu naturally saw that Yang Yunxi didn't want to continue this topic, so he readily agreed: "Okay." ”

What they didn't know was that the county lord of Runing was standing on the pavilion high on the rockery and watching all this in the small garden. Seeing Gu Qingyu's cheerful appearance, the county lord of Runing couldn't help but smile, and turned his head sideways to the maid on the side and said, "It's rare for Qingyu to look so lively. When she was a child, she was not in good health, and she couldn't do this or that, but when she grew up, she was such a quiet character, and she rarely had a playmate to contract with her. This second lady of the Yang family has some ability. ”

The maid understood what the county lord of Runing meant, but she was also a little worried: "I'm afraid that the second miss of the Yang family will see that the young lady is simple and easy to fool, so she will deceive the young lady to turn around, so as to make a profit from it." Didn't the county lord also ask someone to inquire? The Yang family's reputation is not very good, and I heard that it is very good at becoming inflammatory, and it is very good to please the climbing. ”

The county lord of Runing smiled slightly and didn't care: "It doesn't hurt to give her some benefits, as long as she can continue to make Qing Yu so happy." Besides, Qing Yu will enter the palace in a few months, what can this girl from the Yang family coax Qing Yu? ”

After a pause, the county lord of Runing added: "Besides, this girl from the Yang family looks smart, and she doesn't dare to do such a thing if she wants to." "It's better to beg her more effectively and quickly than to play tricks behind her back, this Yang family girl must know it in her heart.
