Well, such high-level stuff is too difficult to understand.
After all, women are just being given away as gifts.
"How were these ten concubines selected?"
Xia Xiaodong was already looking for opportunities to lose.
"This year happens to be the year of the draft, and we were selected according to the order of throwing beads."
Taoist Master Xuanyuan knew this very well, "Your ranking is quite high, ranking third among the twelve show girls."
"Twelve" Xia Xiaodong raised his eyebrows.
I just said it was ten, why did two more be added in the blink of an eye?
"We are going to Beiqi with high mountains and long roads.
It is difficult to ensure the safety of everyone on the road, so we will prepare two more."
The answer came immediately.
You still have to prepare for losses.
"Sort of pearls" Xia Xiaodong thought about it, he only got twelve pearls, one point with Lady Yao, and only six pearls were left.
Although they are the six larger ones among the twelve, they are probably nothing.
They still rank third.
"Every time there is a draft, the beads will be sorted.
But they are not sorted according to quantity, but according to the corresponding proportion."
Xuanyuan Dao Chang said curiously: "You don't even know this, do you?"
I'm just here to make some soy sauce.
Xia Xiaodong actually didn't quite understand what the ratio was to what, but she wasn't going to waste time on it, so she quickly turned to ask: "Since King Qi doesn't get married until May, it will take a while.
Only then will we set off.
I think there will be opportunities for changes.”
I am afraid of comparison in everything.
Compared with being sent to Qi State to be a concubine, it seems that other ways are much better.
The scale of Prince Min's palace has shrunk in Xia Xiaodong's eyes, and it is not so difficult for Ning Erliu's stepmother and many brothers and sisters-in-law to accept it.
"Haha," Taoist Xuanyuan twitched his lips, "There may be a chance, but it's not easy.
Think about it yourself."
Xia Xiaodong nodded, knowing that he couldn't count on Taoist Xuanyuan for everything.
Immediately he took out the purse, picked out another item, and handed it over.
"This works better when paired with the little whitebait."
As long as Taoist Xuanyuan puts the two things together, he will naturally discover the mystery.
In fact, it's nothing at all, just a tiny magnetic levitation.
The principle is very simple, but the operation is difficult.
It is probably a little easier than erecting an egg.
"I'm afraid the girl will stay in the palace for a while.
We'll see you later."
Taoist Xuanyuan waved his sleeves with a smile and put away his things in the blink of an eye.
When Miss Qin Si saw Xia Xiaodong coming back, she immediately came over and said, "Who wants to see you for anything?"
Gossip is always Miss Qin Si’s favorite.
Xia Xiaodong, however, was unwilling to spend time on the details.
He grabbed Miss Qin Si and asked, "Do you know about Qi State in the north?
Tell me quickly."
"Qi State" Miss Qin Si blinked: "Of course I know.
Isn't our great ancestor of the Chu State separated from Qi State?"
There is such a thing "Isn't your family guarding the border?

Although it's not on the other side of Qi State, don't you know this?"
Miss Qin Si was confused.
"I really don't know."
Xia Xiaodong took Miss Qin Si, found a place to sit, and said with a smile: "I didn't like to hear these ancient records before, and my father was not often at home, so I never heard of them.
Good sister, tell me quickly."
In fact, what happened back then was very simple and could be explained in a few words.
Several countries nearby, including Northern Qi, Southern Chu, Eastern Lin, and Western Bei, were all originally one big Qi.
A few years ago, a violent king appeared in Daqi, which finally aroused the anger of the people.
People from all walks of life rose up, click, click, click, and separated the three kingdoms of Chu, Lin, and Ye.
After the territory was divided and the land was divided, the tyrant was removed from power and the throne was given to his younger brother.
Later, the new king slowly stabilized the situation and finally managed to save most of it.
Nowadays, although the Three Kingdoms have been established for some years, there is always some grudge against Qi Kingdom, which is probably similar to the feelings of an independent son towards me.
"Have you heard anything about Qi State?"
Miss Qin Si is not stupid, she has a good sense of news.
"Well, it's hard to say now.
You'll hear about it after a while."
It seemed that the Taoist priest's news was not suitable to be released now, so Qin Si had to deal with it perfunctorily.
Facts have proved that Xia Xiaodong was overthinking, because Miss Qin Si was also left behind.
Around the time of Youshi, the last group of beautiful ladies retreated from the imperial palace.
Cui Shangyi and Lin Shangyi both looked relieved, and it was announced that the show girls got up and were ready to go back to the summer resort.
Except for the twelve girls.
Xia Xiaodong looked at it coldly, and saw that the girls left behind were all with outstanding looks, but most of them, whose fathers and brothers did not hold very high official positions, and who were truly high-ranking ladies, either did not come to the audition, or were pointed out.
The last one left was Miss Qin Si.
"No," among the twelve people, Miss Qin Si and Xia Xiaodong were acquaintances, and she stared at them and said, "Is it against the rules for us to be chosen to be the mistresses?
In the past, those who were chosen were all in front of the emperor. , will give you good luck."
My dear, you think so beautifully.
"No."
Xia Xiaodong said gloomily: "Don't tell anyone else yet.
I heard that the new king of Qi is getting married, and we all want to send him as gifts."
"Is the new king of Qi the former Crown Prince Jianhong?"
Miss Qin Si's focus is very different from Xia Xiaodong's: "Is it true?
Prince Jianhong is a world-famous handsome man.
I heard that his previous princess was to make three thousand athletes The Yilan girl who has completely disarmed herself" "Just because Miss Yilan's surname is Zhen, she also has the reputation of Zhenzhen."
Miss Qin's eyes were bright, and she obviously had endless yearning for handsome men and beauties.
Then she realized something was wrong: "Uh, why are we getting married again?
Is it possible?
I don’t think I heard about Concubine Zhen’s death.”
Is it really the honey of my arsenic?
Why did Miss Qin Si not feel at all that it would be a sad thing to become Teng's concubine?
The girls who were left behind looked at me and me, most of them had uneasiness in their eyes.
In the huge side hall that soon became empty, a mere twelve girls, as weak as little lambs being slaughtered, gathered together unknowingly, waiting for someone to tell them the details.
They didn't have to wait long.
Soon there was the sound of footsteps at the entrance of the palace, and several eunuchs and palace maids in uniforms lined up.
Xia Xiaodong saw an acquaintance at the head of the team.
Cai Zhongguan.

Xia Xiaodong thought that the lieutenant general who was responsible for selecting girls from three provinces including Xuannan would finish his work after returning to the capital.
Unexpectedly, he would meet again here
