First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

The Black Tiger Army’s base was located on a large riverside lot outside the capital.

In order to welcome these assigned palace maids, the military camp specially asked people to build a large row of wooden houses for them to live in temporarily.

These soldiers were quite attentive and helped to level the ground.

The fifty-five palace maids assigned to the Black Tiger Army were also brought here by horse-drawn carriages. In order to show the enthusiasm and sincerity of these soldiers, they used eleven carriages. These military horses and carts usually transported military rations, but now they were transporting young ladies. The group also helped to make a frame on the cart, and hung a red cloth on the frame to cover it.

When the carriage arrived, almost half of the Black Tiger Army ran to the camp gate to greet it.

Although the carriage was covered with red cloth, it did not stop these enthusiastic young men from running and watching along with the carriage, laughing all the way.

The winter wind would blow up the red cloth hanging on the frame, revealing the sporadic postures of the palace maids inside, and the soldiers would lean over to look through the gaps created by the wind.

The person in charge of escorting the carriage was Qian Feng, who was previously in charge of guarding the Imperial College. He rode his horse back and forth along the edge of the carriage, chasing after the little bastards who were trying to lift the curtain, while laughing and cursing, "Damn it, have you never seen a woman or what? What are you looking at! These girls will be your sisters-in-law from now on! If you little bastards want to see them, you should ask your brothers if they agree!"

The soldiers were not afraid of Qian Feng. They played hide-and-seek with him, laughing. Qian Feng drove them one way and they went the other way.

"Wow, the sisters in it are so pretty!" Someone who saw it couldn't help but laugh.

"Of course not. They all come from the palace. Aren't the girls around the ladies in the palace all good-looking?"

"I heard that the ladies in the palace are as beautiful as fairies, and I also heard that our prince has bestowed some ladies upon us, but I don't know who will be so blessed!"

"Hey, if he really marries the lady in the palace, wouldn't that be..."

Hahahaha, everyone burst into laughter.

Their joking conversation made the already nervous palace maids huddle together.

Although it is an arranged marriage, no one knows what the future will be like!

Everyone was unsure and extremely frightened. After hearing the soldiers' irresponsible words, some of the palace maids even showed some sadness on their faces.

Although they had no status in the palace, they were in contact with royal relatives and nobles, and at least on the surface, they were all polite. However, these guys chasing after their carriages were obviously not polite at all...

"Aunt Jixiang, aren't you afraid?" Hua Rui, a young palace maid who was riding in the same car with Su Jixiang, leaned towards Su Jixiang's side. She had been in the palace for less than two years. She was originally a palace maid responsible for cleaning the courtyard beside Zhaoyi. She was only fifteen years old this year. She still had some baby fat on her face, her eyes were round, and she looked very cute.

Su Jixiang is now twenty-two years old and a first-class palace maid, so every time she sees Su Jixiang, she always calls her aunt.

"Is being afraid useful?" Su Jixiang looked outside, and a number of young faces full of vitality came into his sight. The curiosity and enthusiasm in their eyes were real.

"I'm so scared." Hua Rui's eyes were slightly red. "What if I have to marry an old and disabled man?"

After years of fighting, there are indeed many disabled soldiers. Some of those with serious disabilities will be sent back to their hometowns, but some with mild disabilities will stay in the army and do what they can.

After she said this, everyone in the car fell silent.

"Yes, these people have all been to the battlefield. What if I find one with a bad temper? Will I be beaten to death?" Someone couldn't help but say, and there was a hint of tears in his voice.

Su Jixiang... this is also hard to say...

Her thoughts could not help but drift away. Wei Ling... He looked like a completely different person than before. He must be hard to get along with now...

Then Su Jixiang immediately patted her head with her hand. What was she thinking about... She didn't really want to be married to Wei Ling... But now that she had traveled through time, what other options did she have? Su Jixiang lowered her eyes and looked at her hands. These hands were white and slender, with a little callus on the palms. Originally, she wanted to stay in the palace until she was 25 years old and was released, and use the money she accumulated in the palace to open a small restaurant and live a stable life.

But now Emperor Jing has fled, and she had three years left before she could be sent out of the palace, but now that plan has been ruined... Now she has left the palace, but she has to get married...

Fortunately, the little money she had saved up before was still there...

Su Jixiang touched her chest. The banknotes she had saved were sewn into the collar of her undershirt. It was great that she didn't lose the undershirt.

The atmosphere in the carriage was dull, but outside it was extremely lively.

The carriage slowly stopped, and the soldier who was driving it jumped out of the carriage, put down the wooden stool, and then lifted the curtain. "Come on, everyone, get off! We've arrived!"

As soon as the car curtain opened, deafening noises came from outside.

Although Qian Feng and his men surrounded the wooden house, they could not resist the enthusiasm of the other members of the Black Tiger Army. They all stood outside the human wall and tiptoed to look towards the carriage.

The palace maids got off the car one after another, each carrying their own bag.

Every time someone got off the car, there was a burst of cheers from the soldiers. The cheers were so loud that every palace maid who got off the car lowered her head in shame, wishing they could grow four legs and run into the house.

"Wow, these are really fresh and beautiful!"

"Any one of these girls is prettier than the daughters of the landlords in our village!"

"Aren't you talking nonsense? They came from the palace, they were all selected!"

"Hey! I don't know who has this blessing!"

"I'm going to talk to the general and the military advisor later! I heard that our military advisor is the one who is responsible for assigning them!"

"Really? Why didn't the military advisor leave more people for our Black Tiger Army? Didn't they say there were thousands of maids in the palace?"

"Hey, who told us that the Black Tiger Army is younger than the other armies? They are much older and get more!"

"We were the ones who were at the forefront in the war, but they were the ones who got the wife by chance?"

"Exactly! That's not fair!"

"Yes, let's go talk to the military advisor!"

After all the palace maids entered the house and could no longer see what was happening inside from the outside, they scattered like birds and beasts, clamoring to go find the military advisor to talk it out!
