Chapter 17: Re-entering the palace gate

Ye Liu couldn't believe his ears, he got off the kang in a panic, he didn't have time to put on his shoes, and ran straight to the door, the girl who was looking at him was not Ye Ningxiang, who had been drunk by himself and sold to people.

Ye Liu's face suddenly turned white with fright, and his words were not good, "Ning, Ningxiang is back." The corners of his mouth squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying.

Daddy Ye was still crying, crying and saying: "You ran away from home that day without the gossip of the people in the village, you know how worried I am about you!" Daddy Ye cried even more, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid that you won't be able to eat enough and dress outside alone, I'm afraid that you will be persecuted by bad people alone, I even thought that you are no longer alive!"

Daddy Ye's hand holding Ye Ningxiang suddenly let go, and kept banging on his head, "Why am I so stupid, what kind of birthday banquet do my daughters have to attend when they fall into such a situation!"

Ye Ningxiang was infected by Daddy Ye's words, and couldn't help crying, comforting Daddy Ye and said: "Daddy, don't cry, don't you see that I came back well, it was me who was wrong seven years ago, it was me who was wrong, and in the future, I will not leave you again!"

Seeing that Ye Ningxiang did not tell Father Ye about herself, Ye Liu secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

After Daddy Ye's mood calmed down a little, he took the burden in Ye Ningxiang's hand, took Ye Ningxiang's hand, and took her into the house, and said in his mouth: "Look at me, I am happy to patronize and let you be outside for so long!" But the corners of his mouth were always smiling.

After Ye Ningxiang entered the house, Father Ye was not idle for a moment, and immediately killed the big hen that had only been raised for nearly half a year. Ye Liu looked uneasy, and finally driven by strong curiosity, he asked, "Ning, Ningxiang, why are you back!"

In fact, Ye Liu didn't want to ask like this, she wanted to ask Ning Xiang first if she had a good time in the past few years, and then gradually ask the reason for coming back this time, who knew that she was nervous and asked the truth in her heart, and she was immediately very embarrassed.

"Why can't I come back! My legs are on my own body, so if my mother is allowed to sell me away, I will not be allowed to come back by myself!" Ye Ningxiang said with a bad face, "But mother, don't worry, I won't tell my father what you did to me back then, you don't have to be afraid!" While speaking, Ye Ningxiang also gently patted the back of Ye Liu's hand with her hand, which made Ye Liu's anger not fight anywhere, but she could only be angry in her heart.

"Wife, come and help, this chicken feather is too difficult to pull, come and help me!" Father Ye shouted happily.

"Come on, come on!" Ye Liu's words were full of anger, if others listened to it, they would definitely think that Ye Liu's spirit was not very good, but now Daddy Ye can not care about this, he only thinks about making food for Ye Ningxiang!

Ye Ningxiang remembered that on the day she was just reborn, Daddy Ye stewed chicken for her once, and not long after that, she was sold to the Drunken Dream Death Building, and she couldn't even see Daddy Ye's face, so she couldn't eat the chicken he stewed for herself. Ye Ningxiang scooped up a big mouthful of chicken soup and drank it in one gulp, delicious, so delicious! After tasting the chicken again, the chickens running all over the yard were different, and the meat was so fragrant that it made people drool.

"Ning Xiang, how have you spent all these years outside?" After Father Ye asked this, he felt very sad, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes unconsciously.

"Dad, I'm doing well. I met a high-ranking person, that person can be literate and martial, and he also knows a lot of officials and dignitaries, and his daughter has been with him in the past few years and has learned a lot of things. While speaking, Ye Ningxiang pretended to look at Ye Liu very casually, and continued: "But because that person was abducted and trafficked when he was a child, he has a quirk to take revenge on the abductors and traffickers of children. ”

Hearing this, Ye Liu was already so nervous that he was sweating profusely, and he couldn't eat anymore. Ye Ningxiang continued: "Later, I found out that in just seven years, that person had given me seven hundred and forty-nine heads. I thought this man was too terrifying, so I escaped by myself while he was out of the house. ”

Father Ye took Ye Ningxiang's nonsense seriously, and at the end he stroked Ye Ningxiang's head with great concern, and said with love: "Ningxiang, you have really suffered all these years!"

Ye Liu not only couldn't eat, but couldn't even sit down, so he lied casually and got off the table.

Ye Ningxiang stayed in Yejia Village very calmly for three days, and on the second day, Ye Ninglu came back from her second aunt's house, but she has never had a good impression of her sister, although she didn't do anything difficult for Ning Xiang, she rarely talked to Ye Ning Xiang.

On the third day, it was very rare for Yejiacun to come to a person who looked like an official, followed by four followers. This caused Yejia Village, which had been quiet for a long time, into a panic, and the neighbors either whispered among themselves, or leaned their heads out of the crack of the door to look around, all showing their curiosity.

The official first found the village chief of Yejia Village, and after explaining his intentions, the village chief called a meeting of all the members of Yejia Village very rarely. It turned out that this official came to Yejia Village for the palace to choose a palace person. The villagers were suddenly shocked, although the palace election person will be about once every three years, but Yejia Village is very remote, and the general etiquette officials will not come here to choose if they are troublesome, who knows how this year's etiquette officials are so diligent, and they would rather come to Yejia Village to walk around eighteen bends.

The most worrying thing is that there are families with school-age women in the family, everyone knows that like this kind of palace people selected by the courtiers, belong to the second-class palace people, in fact, they are the palace maids in the palace, and if they are lucky, they may be named female officials in the future, which is very different from the first-class palace people appointed by the royal family or recommended by the local government, and it is impossible to become the emperor's concubine or the wife and concubine of the prince and noble. Thinking that the pearl in their palm may go to the royal slave as a slave, and maybe one of them will lose his life if he is not careful, these people are very worried in their hearts.

The village chief summoned all the school-age women over and asked the ceremonial officials to carefully select them, and in the end, there was only one person who was lucky enough to be selected, Ye Ningxiang. Everything was expected by Ye Ningxiang, and it seemed that Yu Gongzi had also spent a lot of effort behind the scenes.

Hearing the news, Father Ye almost fainted as if he had encountered a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and then hugged his head and cried. Less than half a day after the results were announced, Ye Ningxiang actually felt that Father Ye seemed to be ten years old all of a sudden, and she couldn't bear it, so she comforted Father Ye and said: "Daddy, you don't have to be so sad, I am going to the palace, not to the prison cell, in the future, I will serve the masters in the palace, if my life is good, I may be made an official and a half-post by the emperor, and then we will be able to live a rich life!"

"I don't want to be rich, I don't want you to be an official, I just want you to be by my side!" Father Ye cried like a child beside Ye Ningxiang.

The convoy that welcomed Ye Ningxiang into the palace arrived in Yejia Village at noon on the second day. Father Ye reluctantly packed up for Ye Ningxiang and sent her to the carriage, before Ye Ningxiang got into the carriage, Father Ye barely smiled, and told Ye Ningxiang to be careful in everything and pay attention to safety, but the red eyes were particularly eye-catching, like two big peaches printed on his face.

Ye Ningxiang bumped on the road for a few days, first arrived at the post station, and then rested in the post station for a few days, waiting for the palace people from other places, and waiting until the palace people who were selected this year had arrived. The chief eunuch in charge of the affairs issued uniform clothes for them, and the older grandmothers taught them the etiquette in the palace for three days. Finally, after everything was ready, Ye Ningxiang and this group of young girls with beautiful faces and moons walked into the gate of the palace.
