The Emperor's Daughter Arrives: Upgrade to Fight Monsters and Find Husbands

Jiu Tang heard the sound coming from inside, as if he had just discovered Grandma Li.

He was stunned for a moment, then seemed to have recovered, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he quickly let the two guards lead him forward.

Grandma Li glanced up and down at the girl brought to the front, showing a look of satisfaction. She had good cultivation and appearance, and she looked honest: "Where are you from?"

Jiu Tang quickly took the token from his waist, and the guard took it and handed it to Granny Li.

"Reply to Mammy. The daughter of the common people is the fourth young lady of the Jin family of Yiguo in the early days of the fourth-class country, Jin Yixue."

Jiu Tang raised his eyes and looked timidly at Nanny Li, looking timid and reserved.

Grandma Li thought for a moment and hummed deeply.

Thinking back on it, I actually had no impression of this Chu Yi country. There are hundreds of third-class countries under the control of their second-class country, and each third-class country controls no less than a hundred fourth-class countries. It's just a fourth-class country, so it's normal to have no impression of it.

Aunt Li took the token presented by the guard and looked through it carefully. This is indeed a token passed through their hands. And judging from the appearance of the girl in front of her, she couldn't be more timid and cautious.

only.....

Seeing that Nanny Li was silent, Jiu Tang knew that she must be suspicious, and said softly: "The country of Chuyi where Minnu lives belongs to the Xixia royal family, but unfortunately it is far away from Ruli, so it was delayed... ..”

Nanny Li thought again, Jin Yixue came here from a remote place in a poor country, and it was okay to be a little late.

Before Nanny Li could say anything, she saw a vague figure walking out of the gate of the Prince's Mansion.

The guards at the door, wearing heavy armor, hurriedly knelt down to greet him, making a clattering sound.

Everyone's eyes were drawn to it again.

Grandma Li turned around, startled, and bowed respectfully to the visitor: "I have met His Royal Highness."

When all the girls heard Nanny Li's words, "Your Highness, Prince," they looked at the visitor with even more fascination. For a time, thousands of charming voices sounded, and they all respectfully greeted the visitor.

Looking at the prince's slightly searching eyes, Grandma Li said: "It's because the old slave did something wrong. This girl came a little late and broke the rules. But the old slave thinks that she looks good and has good cultivation... Otherwise, she would be here now." Send someone to drive her back."

The prince stared at Jiutang closely and raised his hand to stop Nanny Li from saying, "No, I think she is also in love with her, so just take her into the house."

"Master, why do I feel like this guy is grinding his teeth? It seems like... he wants to eat you."

Zhuzhu looked at the man's eyes and got goosebumps inexplicably. In his eyes, the master seems to be a big piece of fat.

"It's not certain who ate who." Jiu Tang replied silently in his heart.

"You're lucky." Seeing the prince calling for a carriage to leave, Nanny Li tugged on Jiu Tang's sleeve and said, "Follow me and be smarter later."

Jiutang shrank as if he was afraid: "Yes. I listen to grandma."

"Okay, you don't have to be so afraid. His Highness the Prince doesn't eat people. If you get along well in this Prince's Mansion, you might be able to fly up a branch and become a phoenix in the future."

Aunt Li just saw that Jiu Tang was the only one who stood out among the concubine selections this time. The prince looked at Jiu Tang a few more times before deciding to stay. She expected that the prince was also somewhat satisfied with her, so she said more. Two sentences.

Jiu Tang curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled at her mother in good faith, but she was thinking to herself: The prince might actually be a cannibal...and he ate a lot.

Seeing that the team in front was in chaos, the girls started chatting.

Grandma Li's face immediately darkened. She walked to the front and glared at the girl who was making the most noise. The girl shrank from her look and immediately stopped talking.

The women who were selected from the palace and entered the prince's palace had different backgrounds. They ranged from the direct daughters of official families in second-class countries to the concubine girls from fourth- and even fifth-class countries. Therefore, before officially becoming a concubine in the prince's palace, she has to undergo three days of training in rules.

Seeing that the girls were tired from traveling and traveling, and had gone through the selection process in the palace today, Nanny Li did not bother them too much. After entering the palace, she immediately arranged accommodation for the girls with the housekeeper of the Prince's Palace.

Have a good night's rest today and then teach again tomorrow. Those who don't learn well will still be sent back. Because he was sent back because he was not good at etiquette, he would not be able to marry a good man and his family would be troubled. The key is that the family would be humiliated because of it.

The Prince's Mansion occupies a huge area, with more than a dozen empty courtyards. Eight girls live in a courtyard and two girls live in a room, which is quite spacious.

Coincidentally, the person who was assigned to the same room as Jiu Tang was Qi Xiaolu, whom she met with Lin Shishi at the concubine selection banquet that day.

"Master, how come this stupid kid was still chosen?" Xiaoyu finished sending the letter to Lin Shishi, but slipped back within half an hour. I was a little surprised to see Qi Xiaolu selected.

"Isn't this normal? Qi Xiaolu is good-looking, and her cultivation level can be considered above-average. Except for her background, which is not important when choosing a concubine. So there is no reason for her not to be chosen." Besides, this time The quality of the girls is not very high, even Xiaolu is remarkable among them.

Qi Xiaolu jumped up and closed the door. He was not as reserved as he was outside, but much more lively than when he saw her outside the palace: "Hello, my name is Qi Xiaolu. I come from a third-class country, how about you? "

Jiu Tang lowered his head to adjust the quilt and replied: "My name is Jin Ruqiu. I am seventeen this year. I am just a concubine from a fourth-class country... Your name is quite interesting."

Qi Xiaolu ran to the inner room, jumped under the bed, swayed his legs, and looked at Jiu Tang with a smile: "Hey, everyone I meet says so. Because when I was born, my father happened to catch a spiritual deer. So. So he named me Xiaolu.”

Xiao Lu came closer, his eyes locked on Jiu Tang's face, frowning as if he was thinking about something: "Yixue, I feel like I have seen you somewhere before?"

Jiu Tang chuckled and interrupted her train of thought: "Maybe it's because I look a bit similar to someone you've seen. It's normal. I'm just a concubine from a fourth-class small country. If it weren't for this election, Concubine, I have no chance to see you at all."

Xiao Lu thought the same thing and jumped out of bed to help Jiu Tang pack things: "Anyway, the two of us are assigned here together, and I look familiar with Yixue. This is a great fate! I will still give you a lot of help in the prince's house in the future. "

Jiu Tang nodded: "It should be."

At night. It was pitch dark in the yard, and the autumn wind brought bleakness, but indoors it was as warm as spring.

Through the dim light, I could only see the falling leaves swirling outside and the faint sound of the wind.

"Yixue, I'll turn off the light. I'm going out at [-] o'clock tomorrow, let's go to bed early today!"

Qi Xiaolu closed the curtains and blew out the lamps. Without the dim light, the room was instantly dark.

Qi Xiaolu climbed onto the bed smoothly, eyes wide open in the darkness, blinking at Jiu Tang.

Jiu Tang turned sideways to face Qi Xiaolu and blinked like her: "What's wrong? Still not sleeping? You have to get up early tomorrow."

"I'm so excited today, Yixue." Qi Xiaolu chuckled, "I never dreamed that I would be successfully selected. Although I don't have a spot yet, after these three days, it will be a sure thing. It’s over. No matter how difficult it is, I will persevere!”

The deer's round face was filled with a smile, and his eyes were shining with excitement.

Jiu Tang was a little amused, but also a little puzzled: "You have never met that prince before. Besides, he has many concubines in his house, so... he may not like you."

Qi Xiaolu pouted:

"Who cares about love and love? Even if I just have the name of being the prince's concubine, my life will be much better than before. And if nothing else, even the little gadgets that the prince gives us at will are not worth it. It’s enough for my parents to live a good life for a long time.”

Jiu Tang thought about it and realized that if the prince was not a monster, the position of the prince's concubine would indeed be a good destination for Qi Xiaolu.

Now there is no prince under the emperor who can hold a big position. If nothing unexpected happens in the future, it will be the prince who takes the throne. As a concubine, if she could give birth to a prince, not to mention rising to heaven in one step, her status would be improved more than a little.

Apart from love, Qi Xiaolu can basically get whatever he wants.

Qi Xiaolu pulled Jiu Tang and muttered to Jiu Tang in a daze: When I become famous in the future, I will definitely change my father to the best bow, and buy my mother the best rouge from the gouache shop in Beijing... .

Jiu Tang patted her shoulder and responded to her from time to time. After a while, the deer fell into a deep sleep and snored slightly.

Jiu Tang gently pulled back the arm held by Qi Xiaolu, lifted up the quilt, and quietly slipped out of bed.

Zhuzhu rushed out first and rubbed against Jiutang's leg: "What's wrong, Master?"

Jiu Tang squatted down and picked up Zhu Zhu, gently stroking its hair. He walked around the screen, sat at the table, took a sip of the tea on the table, dipped his fingers in the tea and drew something on the table, and suddenly asked:

"Zhuzhu, do you know where the princess's mansion is?" Jiutang added, "The second princess's mansion."

Although generally speaking, unmarried princesses live in the palace, but the country of Li is rich and has a lot of land in the capital. Therefore, several princesses have their own mansions outside the palace.

Zhuzhu thought for a while: "Why did the master suddenly ask about the Second Princess's Mansion? I know this. It is to the north of the Prince's Mansion, two streets across from the Prince's Mansion, but it is not far away."

Jiu Tang stood up and looked outside the courtyard: "I can't sleep anyway, why not go out and enjoy the breeze?"

Zhuzhu glanced at the weather outside, then looked back at Jiutang with some uncertainty: "Ah? Going to get some wind?"

Jiu Tang said seriously: "I'm really going to enjoy the breeze. Do you want to go?"

"go!"

Jiutang and Zhuzhu disappeared, and a small bead appeared in their place.

Zhuzhu just wanted to leave.

Jiu Tang, who was in the chaotic space, sniffed and frowned: "Wait a minute!"

Zhuzhu stood still: "What's wrong, Master?"

"Mother! There's smoke out there!" Ayan exclaimed, leaning on Jiutang's shoulder.

Several beasts looked in the direction where Ayan's tail pointed. There were no curtains in the outer room. With the moonlight entering the room through the thin window screen, several beasts saw a small hole poked out of the inner room's window screen by a cigarette butt, and wisps of smoke drifted into the room through the small hole.

Jiutang stood still and hid in the chaotic space to observe. This is the best incense. According to the cultivation level of girls like them, if they continue to inhale this incense, it won't take long before they fall into coma.

No matter how big the noise is, it is difficult to wake up.

"Mother, isn't this the phantom spirit demon?"

Jiu Tang stared at the wisp of smoke through the darkness: "It doesn't look like it."

The phantom spirit demon is now close to the clone stage. If he wants to take their lives, it will be completely easy. Moreover, he is the prince now and has control over everything in the prince's house, so why bother to take the poison.

However, being able to do such a thing in the heavily guarded Prince's Mansion shows that this person must be very familiar with the Prince's Mansion to get over the heavy guards and get here. Moreover, his strength is not very high, at least he cannot quickly deal with these concubines who are in their heartbeat period. , that is why we need to take this step.

After a while, Qi Xiaolu's slight snoring disappeared, and he looked like he had fallen into a deep sleep.

There were subtle footsteps outside, and the door creaked open.

The person who came seemed to be a little taller than Jiu Tang, a little thinner, and was wrapped in a big cloak. He walked past Zhu Zhu and walked into the inner room with a faint smell of powder.

Zhuzhu followed with a grunt. I saw the man stretching out a hand from the cloak. His nails were sharp and seemed to be stained with blood. He licked his lips. His upper teeth instantly became extremely sharp and bit the deer's neck!

Jiu Tang kept watching her movements, and when he saw her taking action, he quickly threw out the ice soul.

The ice soul needle stabbed the person's hand fiercely. The person was shocked, quickly closed his teeth, and took a big step back.

Jiu Tang shook his fan and whistled at the visitor, looking a bit like Xiaoyu:

"Beauty. It's so late. Are you here alone?"
