Chapter 10

At this time, the 32 girls had already lined up in the order of entering the door. The master called their names, and the girls came out of the line and stood in front of the desk for King Zhaoyang to choose.

When Murong Xue's name was called, she stepped out of the queue.

The other girls lowered their heads and lowered their eyes, but she raised her small face full of red envelopes and smiled at Yeluyan, her eyes were full of anticipation and excitement, and naturally, there was also blind admiration.

As if he didn't know her, Yeluyan looked at her routinely, his eyes were so deep and unpredictable that no one could see the slightest emotion.

She was smiling, full of joy.He must be pretending to be seen by Qin Zhiang and others, and he must not let people see that he knows her, so as not to be said to be favoritism and fraud, and to be a favor.

She looked at his thin lips tenderly, but heard a plain and simple word, "Stay."

This word, like a gust of cold north wind, suddenly froze the faint smile on Murong Xue's face.She looked at him in disbelief and almost rushed to make him say it again.

After he finished speaking, he didn't even look at her again. He put his eyes on the list in his hand, and drew a tick on it with a pen.

She blinked, wondering if she was hallucinating or hearing it wrong.

"Miss, please stand this way." The master pointed to the team left behind, and only then did she realize that she had heard correctly, and what he really said was a left word.

Next, the master called Xie Qiuju's name.A tall and beautiful girl came up, Yeluyan's eyes fell on the girl, he looked at the girl carefully for a while like he was looking at Murong Xue, and then spit out a message.

She stared at him blankly, her heart was like surging magma, how could he treat her like this.She asked herself that if she was sincere to him, he should give half of her sincerity in return.Knowing that she didn't want to enter the palace, knowing that she couldn't wait to find a husband-in-law just to avoid entering the palace, he held great power, but it was just a little effort, but he refused to fulfill her.

why?
She didn't hear anything for the rest, she bit her small lip and stared straight at him.The grievance and sadness in my heart are about to burst my heart.If he is not the person she likes, she will not feel so wronged and sad.If he didn't know her thoughts, she wouldn't be so wronged and sad.But he knows everything.

Why did he do this to her?

She couldn't figure out how she had offended him, so she began to recall from the moment she saw him for the first time... But, the more she recalled, the sadder she became.

When she was 16 years old, she fell in love with a man at first sight for the first time, and for the first time she devoted herself to pleasing him wholeheartedly, decocting medicine, making tea, washing hands and making soup for him.But he didn't appreciate it, and pushed her into the fire pit with his own hands.

This feeling is like being stabbed into the heart with a steel knife by the closest and most trusted person, caught off guard, and heartbroken.

Thirty-two women were selected by Yeluyan as the twelve.Qin Zhiang told these girls to go home and bid farewell to their parents, make some preparations, and leave for Beijing tomorrow.

After leaving the gate of the government office, the family members of the 32 women surrounded them, weeping and smiling wryly for a while.

Most of the women who failed the election went home with their families happily, but the women who were selected were rarely happy. Most of them hugged their relatives and cried bitterly, as if they were parting from life and death.There are also very few families of beautiful women who are very happy that their daughter has been chosen, because Zhao Zhenniang's family is a living example.

Yeluyan stepped out of the mansion, and saw Murongxue at a glance, not because she deliberately looked for her figure, but because she was too outstanding in the crowd, the red envelopes on her face were bright and eye-catching.

At this moment, the crowd in front of the county government gate had gradually dispersed, Murong Xue stayed at the gate and did not leave, just to wait for him to come out.She has always been straightforward, if she doesn't ask about today's matter, she will be uncomfortable for the rest of her life.

Yeluyan was still dressed in a plain brocade robe. He was outstanding in appearance and tall, so he naturally looked good in anything he wore.When passing through the crowd, everyone is like dust.

But at this moment, she had completely ignored his beauty, and all she saw in her eyes was his indifference.

Passing by her, he acted as if he didn't know each other, and almost wanted to pass her by.

Murong Xue stopped him unceremoniously, "I treat you as a friend with all my heart, yet you don't even want to tell me your real name." Her voice trembled slightly.There are mixed feelings in my heart, grievances, anger, loss, and pain are intertwined into a mess, and I keep cutting and sorting out the mess.

Yuan Chenglie didn't expect her to be so bold that she dared to question the prince who was so cold that it was falling like ice, and he didn't expect the prince to stop and tell her solemnly: "My king's name is Yeluyan."

"Why did you choose me?" Her beautiful eyes were full of grievances, and the red envelopes on her face were shining with anger, all of them were filled with righteous indignation.

"This prince is a businessman and will not show favoritism." He was calm and indifferent, and there was still a pool of unfathomable indifference in his starry eyes.

"I have a full-faced bag, haven't you seen it?" She was very angry, pointing to her full-faced bag, stomping her feet and said: "With such a face, I can't be selected at all, and it will surprise the holy car, you know Is it?"

Yuan Chenglie couldn't bear to lower his head, this appearance would really startle Sheng Jia...

"It's reasonable for me to choose you." He ignored the red envelope on her face indifferently, and his tone was still calm.

"Is your heart made of stone? You know my wish..." She couldn't continue, bit her lip, and raised her head to force back the tears.

Yeluyan felt a little regretful, he didn't shed tears even though his eye circles were red.

He smiled: "Actually, this king thinks you are too ugly to look at. However, before leaving, Concubine Zhao Shu recommended you to the emperor, saying that you are smart and kind, and you have a good reputation. Therefore, this king I have no choice but to choose you." After he finished speaking lightly, he was very pleased to see two big and round tears falling from those watery and beautiful eyes, and then he left contentedly.

Murong Xue first cried out of anger at his sentence "you can't look at the ugly", and then realized something was wrong, Zhao Zhenniang actually recommended herself to the emperor!As soon as she stopped crying, she immediately lifted her skirt and got into the carriage.

Murong Lin had already calculated that his daughter would not be selected, and when he saw his daughter's face, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.Because if she hadn't been selected, she should have jumped all the way in by now.

"You were chosen?"

Murong Xue nodded, closed the door, and told Murong Lin what Yeluyan said to her.

Murong Lin was taken aback, "Why did she want to avenge her kindness?"

"My daughter doesn't know. But this way, father doesn't have to think about going to Beijing to beg her."

This was exactly what Murong Xue was most worried about along the way. Originally, she thought that even if she was selected, there was still a way out, but Yeluyan's words directly cut off this way out.Zhao Zhenniang was not only hopeless, but also the chief culprit who caused her to fall into the fire pit.

Murong Lin suddenly felt that things were getting tricky.He looked at his daughter with a sad face and despair, and suddenly said: "Axue, actually, Dad still has one last way."

"any solution?"

"36 counts is the best."

Murong Xue said in surprise: "Father, this is the foundation you have worked so hard for half your life, even my daughter is a bit reluctant."

"Money is something outside of the body. When your mother left, you were the one who worried most about you." Murong Lin stroked his daughter's hair and sighed: "I heard that the emperor's health is no longer good. The past two years have been carried by pills." Take a breath. Dad can't just watch you jump into the fire pit."

Murong Xue deeply felt that she had met the best father in the world, and said with tears in her eyes, "My daughter doesn't want to implicate you. If she is caught, she will be put in jail."

"Father has already lived half his life, so what are you afraid of? Daddy can't bear to have you spend your whole life in the palace with gray hair. If this is the case, you might as well risk your life to make a living. One wants to live freely and happily, otherwise how can he be worthy of such a wonderful time. "Murong Lin has a bold and unrestrained personality, and he has a bit of courage in traveling all over the world.

Murong Xue originally thought of running away, but she was unwilling to hurt her father.There is no other way out now, and it feels more and more that escape is the last way.

Murong Lin said: "It's not too late, you go and change into a man's clothes, we will leave the city right away."

It just so happened that he had already made preparations in the past few days. Once his daughter was selected, he would go to Beijing in advance, so the luggage in the carriage was ready-made, and all the money in the ticket number was withdrawn for gifts, but he didn't expect things to change.

Murong Xue made several sets of men's clothing when she was learning how to ride a horse, and now they are all in use.After changing her clothes, she put on a red cloak, wrapped a bundle briefly, and left the room.

Here, Murong Lin asked Artest to hitch a carriage, took his daughter and headed towards the city gate.

Yixian County is a small town, and the gatekeeper knew that Artest was the big guy of Huichun Medical Center, and he greeted him warmly.

Artest replied a few words, and after leaving the city gate, he raised his whip and drove south.

In the carriage, Murong Xue took off her women's cloak, spread out her hair and replaced it with a man's style, with a green scarf tied on it, and immediately turned into a young man with a youthful red envelope.

The two horses galloped all the way with the carriage, and after running for a quarter of an hour, they turned their heads and headed east.

This is Murong Lin's deliberate way to deceive Ataishi.Early tomorrow morning, Qin Zhiang found that he had escaped with his daughter, if he sent someone to chase him, the gatekeeper would tell him that he ran south.

Murong Xue didn't expect her escape to be so smooth, she was very happy and grateful.

Historically, no one has ever dared to run away from the draft girls. No matter how unwilling they are, they will bite the bullet and be summoned into the palace even if they cry and break their intestines. Therefore, the government has never guarded against the escape of the selected girls. , and there is no precedent for sending troops to guard.This is even more so for the small town of Yixian.

Murong Xue can be said to have set a precedent for the Great Zhou Dynasty.
