Traveling to the ancient harem
Chapter 149: The Imperial Selection
Hibiscus Garden.
Huang Ye was chatting with Hongdou when Prince came in swaggeringly from outside. Huang Ye picked him up and put him on his lap. Prince had grown into shape now, weighing about four or five kilograms, so it was not difficult to hold him.
"Prince, we were just talking about this. After the New Year, we will go together to find our second brother. We will need you to lead the way then." Huang Ye turned around and talked to the prince again.
The prince, who had been lying lazily, suddenly became energetic. It was after he came back from Fanjing Mountain that Huang Ye had a sudden idea. She wanted the prince to try to find his second brother in the north. That way it would be convenient for her to contact him in the future. In fact, the capital city is close to the north, much closer than Fanjing Mountain.
The prince accepted the challenge. He flew to the north and saw the endless snowfields and the barracks stationed there. However, he didn't know which barracks the second young master was in.
But the prince was a smart one. During the day, he would hover over the barracks when he had nothing to do, searching one barracks after another with his extraordinary eyesight. However, the barracks were too big, and he didn't see anyone after searching for several days.
This was because Hong Ge'er heard from people that there was a bird that looked like an eagle and an eagle flying in the sky recently. He thought of the prince raised by his sister, and looked up at the sky whenever he had nothing to do. When he saw the prince from a distance, he was not sure at first, so he called out tentatively. When the prince heard his voice, he immediately swooped down and landed on his shoulder, causing the envy of all the soldiers in the barracks.
Hong Ge'er asked the prince to carefully remember where he lived, and wrote a letter for the prince to bring back. Now it would be much more convenient for Huang Ye to contact his second brother. It would only take the prince a trip.
The prince was very excited to hear that he could let it lead the way. He asked if there was another person in the world as smart as him who could understand human language.
"The prince is great." Huang Ye praised him generously: "When the time comes, the three of us will go out and cause trouble in the world. We will beat up anyone we don't like. If Hongdou and I can't beat them, you can help us peck and catch. I don't believe anyone can defeat our strongest trio." Huang Ye fantasized.
"What the young lady said makes me want to go out and travel the world right now." Hongdou held her chin with a fascinated look on her face, and the prince nodded repeatedly.
"Let's talk about it after the New Year." It's so cold outside now, it would be painful to travel around.
"What time is it now? It's almost dark. Why haven't the people for dinner arrived yet?" Hongdou reminded him. Huang Ye then remembered that at this time in the past, even if the two people on duty were delayed by something, the old man and the others should have arrived early.
"There must be something wrong." Huang Ye stood up: "Hongdou, let's go to Funing Hall together."
The two of them walked very quickly. When they arrived at Funing Hall, they walked in directly without asking the little girl to inform them.
In the old lady's room, except Huang Ye, all the family members were there. The women looked like they had just cried, and the men were also dejected.
Huang Ye was shocked. She rushed to her grandmother and said, "Grandma, what happened? Why are you all like this..."
When her grandmother saw her, her tears flowed faster. Her mother also sobbed, and even her pregnant sister-in-law was crying, but no one responded.
"Brother, tell me, what happened?" No one in the room said anything, and she was extremely anxious.
Xuan Ge'er looked at his sister with red eyes. "The Emperor suddenly issued an order in the court today, and there will be a beauty pageant within this year. This time it is a small selection, and only the noble ladies of the right age in the families of officials above the sixth rank in the capital will be selected. Anyone who has reached the age of marriageable age but has not been engaged must be reported. You happen to be within the scope of the report."
Huang Ye was stunned. What happened happened too suddenly. There was not even a single sign beforehand. They didn't even have time to respond.
"It's all your fault." The old lady started to scold the old man again: "I mentioned so many families, but you said this one is not good and that one is not good... Even if you just picked one at random, this disaster would be over. Now look... If my granddaughter enters the palace, I will fight you to the death..."
Old man: He was arguing with his granddaughter for a long time before she came in, and now he comes again... He thinks those people are not worthy of his granddaughter. Besides, he must be regretting it now.
Father Huang has been sitting motionless in the same position for a long time. How would he survive if his darling child were to enter the palace?
"Can you think of a way to say that our child was engaged when he was young?" Chen was not giving up and brought up what she had just said.
"No." The old man shook his head. The crime of deceiving the emperor was no joke. If he was not careful, it would lead to the destruction of the entire family.
"My dear..." The old lady hugged Huang Ye and cried, "It's all grandma's fault for not arranging a marriage for you earlier. The harem is a place where people are eaten..." Chen also cried and looked very sad.
"Mom, grandma, don't be so sad. This is just a talent show. There are so many people, how do you know who will be chosen? You might not be chosen by then." Huang Ye advised them. Now they could only hope to not be chosen.
"My son is so outstanding, how could he fail to be selected?" Chen choked up. This sentence made the people who had just relaxed a little bit nervous again.
Huang Ye laughed: "I am your child, of course you think I am good, but others may not think so. Well, let's not worry about the distance. Let's go to my garden to eat. The hot pot has been prepared. The world is big, but eating is the most important. Let's go together."
