My Queen Pluto is dead

Chapter 39
Along with Zhenbao are the batch of things escorted by General Molong.

Prefect Yin dared not report, so he immediately wrote to General Mo Long.

Ten days later, the Yin Mansion ushered in a great event. The prefect of Yin was promoted to serve as the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and within half a month his family moved to the capital to take up the post.

Qiao Yue's father, Qiao Zheng, who was also promoted with Yin Taishou, was appointed Minister of the Ministry of War.Go to the capital with the Yin family.

On the occasion of parting, Yincheng and Qiao Yue were very reluctant, but they had to go.

In the evening, everyone gathered at Xingchen's fruit shop.

"Tianqi, did you say that grandpa is going to send you to the capital? That's great. We can all be together again." Qiao Yue was extremely excited, so that he would not be lonely and boring along the way.

"Can Chen'er go with you?" Yincheng was a little worried that Chen'er's elder brother and Uncle Yu would not let Chen'er go to the capital.

"The Man's family has a residence in the capital. Chen'er can live there if he goes." Man Tianqi naturally wanted to take Chen'er with him.

Xing Chen shook his head, "The three of you go first, don't worry about me. The three-year draft is coming soon, and a large number of painters are needed. Mr. Ke asked me to enter the palace with him. I plan to enter Beijing in three months. You lay the foundation first in the capital, and when I go, you have to be responsible for taking me to eat, drink and have fun!"

"That's good too. We can get acquainted over there, and after making arrangements, we will stay in the capital when Chen'er comes over." Yincheng was very happy.

"As for whether to stay or not, it depends on my elder brother's opinion. Don't think about it now. Brother Yin, be careful of Xu Zhili when you go!" Xingchen told him.

"Well. I see." This time he went to the capital to find a way to impress the Xu family, and they would regret it.

After sending the three of them away, Xingchen went to school to learn piano from Mr. Siqin as usual in the morning. Every afternoon, she would go back to Manfu to accompany her grandfather. Grandpa would still teach her some medical knowledge, but now the teaching is not for saving lives. but poison.

Mr. Siqin is a very cool and elegant person, but his piano sound is full of emotion.

He doesn't talk much, except for occasionally preparing a piece of music or a book for Xingchen, most of the time he just plays the piano quietly.

Because he doesn't speak and never comment, Xing Chen doesn't know whether he plays well or not.Three months passed by like this.

Yincheng has a new prefect, and the court's draft announcements are plastered all over the streets and alleys.

All unmarried girls over the age of 13 are required to participate, and Man Tianrui is among them.

After this group of people passed the primary selection, there are still [-] girls who will leave for the capital for the draft.

On the day of departure, Xingchen, Wan Fangfang, and Lin Dongqing from the same class sat in the same car.There were also a few girls who participated in the draft in the car.

Because of the noble status of these delicate girls, this large group of people stopped and went at a very slow speed.The plan is to arrive in the capital within one month.

This journey also created opportunities for people in the car to chat and get to know each other, and of course, created conflicts.

"Chen'er, you must paint me more beautifully!" Ke Lin happily sat down beside Xingchen.

Her great-grandfather is Xingchen's teacher, and the great-grandfather often mentions Murong Xingchen in front of her, saying that Chen'er is a smart and kind child, so let her get closer to Xingchen along the way.

"Okay!" Xingchen smiled.Mr. Ke has already told her that this Ke Lin is his grandniece.

"Sister Dongqing, you must also draw my most beautiful appearance!" Lin Chun'er not to be outdone, cast a glance at her cousin Ni who is also an artist.

Lin Dongqing nodded, "Of course. Cousin is the most beautiful."

"Stupid, can an ugly person be beautiful? You just need to draw my truest appearance." The girl who spoke mercilessly was Meng Chiyu, the prostitute daughter of Yincheng Xintaifu.

It was also a blessing to drag Meng Chiyu. Their car had the least number of people, the best facilities, and the largest compartment.

These three girls are all beautiful and have their own characteristics.Meng Chiyu is very glamorous, Lin Chuner is delicate and pretty, and Ke Lin is more graceful and soft.

The three of them had occasional quarrels in the car, but it was quite interesting to Xing Chen's ears.

The sun was scorching outside, because the people in Xingchen and his car were either rich or expensive, so there was no shortage of ice basins in the car, so the six of them felt comfortable inside.

Xingchen seldom participated in their conversations, but used pollen and flowers to make paints of various colors in the car by himself, and the colorful colors were really beautiful.

The others didn't care if she spoke or not, and they didn't bother her, because everyone knew that the paints made by Chen'er were very good, and they wouldn't turn brown for a long time after painting, which was a must for a good painter.

In order to draw more beautiful pictures, they sometimes help her.Even Lin Dongqing, who has never been in harmony with Xingchen, never said a word about this matter.

Because of the large number of people, on the first night, these spoiled girls were all arranged to sleep in the wild. Although many large tents were set up and there were many people protecting them, they still complained unceasingly.

Meals were also arranged uniformly, and even Meng Chiyu didn't have any extra food. He was not used to the diet, and with the exhaustion of the journey, some people fell ill in just one day.

However, half of the people are quite smart, and they all brought various snacks, so after the meal, everyone sat in the tent and ate.

Wan Fangfang didn't have enough to eat at night, so she directly took out the only chilled roast chicken from her salute, and shared it with Xingchen.

Xingchen was not polite to her either, and started eating with a chicken leg.

Speaking of which, when she came, she had reserved a few tables of Manchu banquets in Manjia's restaurant, and put them all in the space.The space is always at a constant temperature and can keep fresh, so she doesn't worry about starving along the way.

Lin Chun'er looked at the vulgar Xing Chen and Wan Fangfang with some disgust, and elegantly took out her teacup and drank the scented tea in it.

Meng Chiyu snorted coldly: "Drinking hot tea on a hot day must be sick in the brain!"

"You...Meng Chiyu, don't think that you are the prefect's daughter and you are so arrogant, Feng Shui turns around, maybe one day you will kneel in front of me to pay my respects." Lin Chun'er was so angry that her chest trembled .

"Then let's wait until that day!" Meng Chiyu poured out the ice water in his cup, washed his hands, and wiped his hot face.

If her father didn't want to be too high-profile, she really wanted to ride in a car by herself.

"Sister Chun'er, calm down, calm down, the days are still long!" Lin Dongqing pointed out that it would not be wise to offend Meng Chiyu right now.

Lin Chun'er left the tent with a flick of her hand, she was going outside to get some air.

Seeing that Lin Chuner and Lin Dongqing had left, Ke Lin shared the candied dates she brought with Xingchen and Wan Fangfang.

"Chen'er, did you bring any fruit?" Wan Fangfang didn't like candied dates, so she begged Xingchen to eat her fruit.

"Well. What do you want to eat?" Xingchen opened the back compartment of the carriage, and there was a large box specially made by her, with a magic charm on the box, only she could open it, and she put a lot of things in it.

"Hey, as long as it's fruit, it's fine." Wan Fangfang smiled happily.Chen'er's fruit is the most thirst-quenching, sweet and refreshing, super delicious.

Xingchen took out two bamboo baskets from the box, randomly took some fruits from the space, put them in, and carried the baskets into the tent.

"Fangfang, take these and wash them, I'll go to Miss Tianrui's." He said, carrying another basket of fruit to Man Tianrui's tent.

She didn't enter the tent either, and when she saw someone coming out, she directly gave the basket to the girl who was in the same car as Man Tianrui, "Hi, I'm Sister Tianrui's younger sister, and I give these things to you to eat."

The girl froze for a moment, then nodded, "Thank you!"

Man Tianrui in the tent actually heard it, but she didn't come out, and she didn't say anything, but a smile appeared on her mouth.

This girl is still the same as when she was a child!
The next morning, the team set off early and arrived at Liancheng's hotel in the evening.

It is said that the palace sent people to Liancheng to conduct a preliminary assessment on this group of beautiful girls, and only those who passed the assessment could continue on the road.

When they heard about the assessment, everyone was very nervous, and there were many people who didn't fall asleep all night.

Lin Chun'er spent almost the whole night asking Lin Dongqing which dress she would look good in tomorrow.

Ke Lin was also a little nervous. She was afraid that she would be rejected in the first round, which would be too embarrassing.

Meng Chiyu was not nervous at all, and went to bed early, looking heartless.

Xingchen thinks that she is very smart, and only when she has raised her spirit can she face what will happen tomorrow.

Sure enough, early the next morning, too many people were sent back to Yincheng because of bad spirits and abnormal behavior.

In fact, the so-called assessment didn't take much. It was just asking everyone to stand for a while and read poems and books in the morning.

"It's surprising that more than 100 people were sent back at once, my God! It's so cruel." Wan Fangfang couldn't help but sigh with emotion.It seems that this palace is really not easy to enter.

Ke Lin said with a smile: "If there are 500 people drafted in Yincheng, the entire Zhongxuan Continent will add up to tens of thousands of people. Can the palace hold so many people? So it must be reduced. According to gossip, Along the way, people from the imperial city are watching wherever Xiu Nu walks."

"That's protection!" Meng Chiyu added coldly.

"You guys should keep your spirits up. The imperial city is not an easy place, and I guess the emperor doesn't want some sick beauties, so he just brushes people up halfway, saving manpower and money." Xing Chen observed and was sent back Most of them are a little ordinary looking, and they are sick again.

"Yes!" As soon as Xingchen said, Wan Fangfang also noticed that most of the people who left were infected with diseases.

"Ah, then I have to protect my body in the future and go to bed early." Lin Chun'er was terrified. She panicked all night last night, and she almost couldn't make it through today.

Ke Lin also nodded vigorously. She didn't want to embarrass her family, so she was sent back early.

Meng Chiyu couldn't help but take another look at Xingchen, this Murong Xingchen is really smart!

Leaving the Liancheng Hotel, they had to walk for five consecutive days to reach the nearest Yicheng, but the weather was not good, and there was a sudden heavy rain on the road, and the whole team was stranded in a remote abandoned manor.

This manor seems to have suffered a fire, so there is no intact place. The only place that can shelter from the rain is the corridor from the entrance to the lotus pond.

Although the corridor is not too long, there is no way to accommodate so many people, and there is heavy rain and lightning outside, so sleeping in the open has become a luxury.

Everyone huddled together, looking forward to the rain stopping soon.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, the rain hadn't stopped, the thunder was rumbling, the lightning was in pieces, and the sand and stones on the ground were rolled up in the strong wind, it was very scary to watch.

This worried the escorting generals, and the show girls complained even more.

There is still a day's journey away from Yicheng, and half an hour away from the nearest village, it seems that we will not be able to go tonight.

There is no place to sleep, so everyone can only sit in piles on the ground, and there is no way to make dinner, so everyone can only eat the dry food they brought.
