The sound that came from nowhere immediately woke up the monks present.
"That's right, you can't go with her!"
"Little girl, come with me!"
"I am from the palace! I am your master's friend!"
"Me too! I'm your master's friend!"
There was a sudden bustle of chatter all around, and the girl felt the heated gazes from all around her and seemed to panic for a moment.
"No! Master said that all men are not good!" The girl shook her head heavily, turned around resolutely, and followed Ling Miaomiao to fly to Linglong Pavilion.
In fact, the current development was completely beyond Jiang Keer's expectations.
She really didn't know that there was a Ling Miaomiao here, and she just happened to arrive on the fifteenth of every month, when Ling Miaomiao went out to admire the moon, stealing her limelight as the number one courtesan in Shenzhou.
Li Yuan only arranged an identity for her as a hermit monk in Qingliu Mountain, and told her that as long as she entered the imperial capital and followed natural course, she would be able to break into the palace sooner or later.
Let everything develop naturally instead of actively participating in the concubine audition, so as not to arouse suspicion from those with ulterior motives.
For a woman like her, it would be worthy of her status if the other party came to her on their own initiative.
However, the Ling Miaomiao incident was an accident, and she had no idea how to proceed next.
Linglong Pavilion is a brothel, obviously not the place he should come to.

112. Outside the Palace
Outside Linglong Pavilion, the sound of violent banging on the door could be heard continuously. The monks surrounded Linglong Pavilion and shouted "Let go of that girl", as if they were going to destroy Linglong Pavilion.
If the formation of Linglong Pavilion had not been powerful enough, the drooling cultivators would have rushed in and started fighting to snatch Jiang Ke'er.
Jiang Ke'er felt a little uneasy. She really didn't mean to steal Ling Miaomiao's limelight.
"Thank you so much."
However, after hiding in Linglong Pavilion, Ling Miaomiao hugged Jiang Ke'er in ecstasy and even lifted her up and spun her around!
Jiang Ke'er didn't quite understand Ling Miaomiao's thoughts.
"Finally I don't have to shoulder the limelight of being the most beautiful woman anymore! From now on I can finally study the astronomical phenomena in peace and quiet!"
"Eh?"
"I know what you're thinking. Do you think I'm a prostitute who has no choice but to do what I want?" Ling Miaomiao smiled faintly. "That's not true at all! This Linglong Pavilion was originally opened by me. The first floor was originally a teahouse for tasting tea, discussing philosophy and listening to music. The second floor was my astronomical research room..."
"..."
"The reason why I go out to play the piano and admire the moon on the 15th of every month is certainly not to please those gentlemen. This is the best place to view the moon in the whole of China. Playing the piano is just a subconscious action when I am thinking... I do it to study the moon.
After just a few months of research, people inexplicably started to come and watch, and more and more people came, and she was given the title of the most beautiful courtesan in China, and Linglong Pavilion was somehow regarded as a brothel." Ling Miaomiao explained helplessly.
I seem to know something extraordinary.
Jiang Ke'er was speechless.
"Let me tell you! The celestial phenomena in China have suddenly become extremely interesting in recent years!" Ling Miaomiao seemed to have been holding it in for too long. She completely forgot about the situation around her and pulled Jiang Ke'er to start talking.
“First, several fixed-position satellites appeared out of nowhere in the sky, and then those satellites were blown into fireworks by an unknown force… and just a few days ago, I witnessed with my own eyes a super purple comet smashing through a satellite!
Not only that, the satellite also smashed through the seven layers of the sky outside of Shenzhou! It landed near Jingcheng in the north of Dasi State! "
Purple comet? Could it be...
Jiang Keer touched the bell at the entrance of her breast. It seemed that she and Ling Miaomiao were really destined to be together.
Ling Miaomiao became more and more excited as she spoke: "I've wanted to look around Jingcheng for a long time, but there are always annoying guys blocking the way outside Linglong Pavilion every day, and I can't get out at all... Thanks to you, now no one is staring at me anymore!"
“Is… is that so…”
Jiang Ke'er felt relieved, it seemed that she had not done anything bad unintentionally.
"It's just that your situation is much more difficult than mine," Ling Miaomiao frowned suddenly, "Sister, you are too beautiful, this is not a good thing."
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn again.
Reflecting the hysterical banging on the door outside, Ling Miaomiao sighed: "When I was young, I thought beauty was a gift from God... When I grew up, I realized that it was not a gift, but a curse."
Jiang Ke'er didn't know what to say.
"Fortunately, I was born into a wealthy family. I have money, power, and a family that loves me, pampers me, and protects me at all costs. This prevents me from becoming a slave at the mercy of others... and you."
Ling Miaomiao looked at Jiang Ke'er with heartache and hesitated, not knowing whether she should let her know the cruel reality.
"Your existence is destined to be a tragedy. You really shouldn't have left Qingliu Mountain."
Ling Miaomiao is unexpectedly kind and warm-hearted.
Jiang Ke'er smiled and comforted him: "It's okay, I have good cultivation and can take care of myself."
"No, you are as innocent as a blank sheet of paper. You have no idea how terrible this world is." Ling Miaomiao shook her head. "You need a backer, an absurdly powerful backer, who can temporarily protect you and keep you away from danger."
That’s why I came here, Jiang Ke’er thought.
"Don't worry, sister. I just want to go to the palace to find my master's friends. Once I find my master, I will go back to Qingliu Mountain." Jiang Ke'er said.
"Your master..."
Ling Miaomiao looked at Jiang Ke'er's expectant face and her heart ached again.
According to Jiang Keer, if he hasn't returned for a long time, then he is probably in danger.
Shenzhou is already full of dangers, not to mention the horrific epidemic two days ago, which caused more than half of the senior monks in Shenzhou to be killed or injured.
Many large sects have fallen into third-rate status because of this, not to mention those powerful independent cultivators.
If she wasn't dead, who could leave such a beautiful disciple alone in the mountains?
"I can take you outside the palace," Ling Miaomiao said, "but I can only help you get here."
"Thank you very much!" Jiang Ke'er said in surprise.
Feeling the madness of the monks outside Linglong Pavilion, Ling Miaomiao sighed.
She really couldn't bear to let the little girl in front of her face those ugly faces driven by desire alone.
But she also knew that in this shabby place like Shenzhou, the existence of a woman as beautiful as Jiang Ke'er would bring devastating disaster to the people around her.
If he kept Jiang Ke'er, those crazy monks from the outside world who coveted her would tear Linglong Pavilion into pieces.
"Let's go." Ling Miaomiao took Jiang Ke'er into the secret passage under Linglong Pavilion.
The end of the secret passage is just outside the wall of the imperial palace.
"Be careful of anyone, anyone who looks kind." Ling Miaomiao gently wiped the corners of her eyes.
"It's my luck to meet you," Jiang Ke'er said sincerely.
She couldn't bear to deceive such a kind person like Ling Miaomiao, but for the sake of the mission, she couldn't confess.
After thinking about it, Jiang Keer finally left a string of rune numbers to Ling Miaomiao.
"If you are in danger, call this number and someone will come to rescue you immediately." Jiang Ke'er solemnly stuffed the note into Ling Miaomiao's hand, "Sister, please believe me!"
"Okay, I believe you." Ling Miaomiao smiled and waved goodbye to Jiang Keer.
Jiang Ke'er felt much more relieved.
"See you!"
Jiang Ke'er resolutely walked towards the palace gate.
The encounter with Ling Miaomiao was just an unexpected episode. Since the plan was to go with the flow and adapt to circumstances, it was inevitable that we would encounter all kinds of strange situations.
But after many twists and turns, I finally got here.
The person she was looking for was named Tan Nian, a squad leader of the imperial guards under Yu Wenzhi.
This man was greedy by nature, and he did have a friend who lived in seclusion in Qingliu Mountain. That friend often boasted to him that he had a beautiful female disciple.
It just so happened that the friend died of the plague two days ago, which gave Jiang Keer the opportunity to impersonate him!
“Hehehe… This time, I’ve made thorough preparations. There’s absolutely no way my identity will be discovered!”
Jiang Keer is full of confidence.
*******
"Reporting to your Majesty, there is a beautiful woman standing outside the palace, saying that she wants to find the captain of the Imperial Guard, Tan Nian..."
This kind of thing didn't need to be reported to the emperor, but the woman was so beautiful.
"Oh, we're here." Qin Wanghao whispered to himself and smiled meaningfully.
This scene will obviously be very interesting.

113. xswl
When Tan Nian saw Jiang Ke'er, his eyes almost fell to the ground.
In the past, when he heard his friend bragging about having a beautiful apprentice, he never took it seriously, because his friend had some mental problems and often talked about unrealistic fantasies.
I didn’t expect it to be true this time!
And it couldn’t be more true!
Amid the envious and jealous gazes of the people around him, Tan Nian hurriedly dragged Jiang Ke'er to his residence, rubbed his palms in confusion, and then used the most gentle voice in his life, stuttering and asking: "You...what's your name?"
"My master named me Nanxue," Jiang Ke'er replied shyly, "I'm here to look for my master. Senior, do you know where my master is?"
"Uh……"
Tan Nian naturally knew that Jiang Ke'er's master had died of the plague in a miserable way.
But at this moment, he didn't know how to answer.
First, he didn't want the other party to be sad upon learning the news of his master's death.
More importantly, he was afraid that the other party would leave after he finished speaking.
"Well, I haven't heard much about your master recently, but I know some places your master often goes. I can take you there later." Tan Nian made up a story.
Jiang Ke'er knew he was lying, but she still looked anxious and said, "Then please take me there quickly!"
"Hmm..." Tan Nian's mind raced, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. He smiled and said, "Don't worry. You are too beautiful. If I take you rashly, both of us will be in danger."
"What should we do then?" Jiang Ke'er asked hurriedly.
"Nanxue, there are two kinds of the safest people in this world. One is a super strong person with powerful cultivation, and the other is a noble person with a high status. How is your cultivation now?" Tan Nian asked back.
“I’m ashamed to say that even though Master has tried his best to teach me, I’m currently only at the Five Elements realm.” Jiang Ke’er said.
"Too weak! What about music, chess, calligraphy and painting, which ones do you know?"
"I know a little bit about playing the piano and painting," Jiang Ke'er answered honestly.
"Then I have a solution!" Tan Nian said with a fake look of joy.
Jiang Ke'er despised the other party's acting skills in her heart, then blinked and pretended not to understand: "What's the solution?"
"Since you are not a super strong person with strong cultivation, you can only take the path of a noble..." Tan Nian cleared his throat, "I don't know if you have heard of the title of 'noble concubine'."
Official position? Are you kidding me?
"I've heard of it. What kind of official position is that? Isn't that the emperor's wife?" Jiang Ke'er asked in confusion.
"She can't be called the emperor's wife. In fact, many imperial concubines have never seen the emperor in their entire lives and have no relationship with him at all... You can regard the identity of an imperial concubine as an idle official. You have a high status, but you don't have to take care of things. As long as you are good-looking and talented, that's enough." Tan Nian patiently advised.
He knew that the existence of "Nan Xue" was known to everyone, and to covet the other party with his own strength would be courting death.
He exerted a great deal of strength, forcing his meridians to rupture and causing pain all over his body, before he could barely control the urge to keep the other person by his side.
The remaining rationality told him that he must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as he made good use of Nanxue's value, wealth and glory would be within his grasp!
It just so happened that the emperor was about to choose a concubine, and choosing a concubine was the top priority of the Grand Secretary. If he could be the recommender of Nanxue, the emperor would surely be very pleased and would definitely reward him!
For the sake of one's own reward, what would it matter if one deceived the other party, sold him into a tiger's mouth and deprived him of his personal freedom?
"I think the palace is quite strict. After becoming a royal concubine, will I still be able to come out to find my master?" Jiang Ke'er said worriedly.
