The system favors me so much, I get eight meals a day while escaping from famine

Before going up the official road, Jiang Qingyi disguised herself again. She wore a patched dress and carried a small bag. She smeared some mud-colored stuff on her already disguised face. She looked like a refugee from somewhere.

However, she imagined herself to be an orphan without parents. The village where she lived was flooded, and she had no place to go, so she had to seek refuge with a distant relative who was doing small business in the imperial city.

Jiang Qingyi suddenly thought of that sentence: When you are away from home, your identity is given by yourself!

She felt that the current script was okay and she was familiar with the process. After all, she had experienced it personally and it would be useless if she was not familiar with it.

After dark, Jiang Qingyi found a secret place and returned to her space to rest for the night.

The next morning, he appeared on the nearest official road in a very embarrassed manner.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Jiang Qingyi quietly used her spiritual power to travel a long distance, and in a blink of an eye she had traveled dozens of miles.

Not long after, Jiang Qingyi met a caravan heading to the imperial city.

Jiang Qingyi knew what the caravan was carrying with just a glance of her spiritual sense.

She didn't think the caravan would be so kind as to take her in, so she stood on the side of the official road to let them pass.

Unexpectedly, a carriage behind the caravan stopped beside her, and a woman dressed as a maid jumped out of the carriage and walked up to Jiang Qingyi, "My mistress asked me to ask you if you are going to the capital?"

Jiang Qingyi pretended to be dumb and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I am going to the capital to seek refuge with my relatives."

The maid sighed, "In that case, come with me. Let me make it clear that I will only take you for a short distance. Don't bother me when we get to the capital."

Jiang Qingyi was overjoyed when she heard this. She was about to kneel down when the maid helped her up. "You are lucky to have met our young lady. She is kindhearted and cannot bear to see others suffer."

"Thank you, Miss. Thank you, Miss..." Jiang Qingyi thanked her repeatedly, and then followed the maid into the carriage.

She regrets it very much now. If she had known earlier, she would not have created such a character. It is really painful.

She has so much gold and silver in her space, and she also has quite a few carriages. Why didn't she think of turning herself into a rich lady? At least it would make her life easier along the way.

Now that I've met that person, it's too late to change, so I can only maintain this character for the time being.

After sitting in the carriage for quite a while, Jiang Qingyi still hadn't seen what the young lady who saved her looked like, and the maid never came out after she went in.

However, Jiang Qingyi heard the conversation between the two clearly. There was no secret in it, and most of the time it was the maid who was talking and the young lady was listening.

At noon, the caravan stopped to rest and eat some dry food, and the carriage that Jiang Qingyi was riding in also stopped.

This time the maid helped the young lady out. The young lady was wearing fine silk and had a pretty face. She could be considered a beautiful girl from a small family. She looked quite elegant and her eyes and movements were very well-mannered. It was obvious that she came from a wealthy family.

As soon as Jiang Qingyi saw people, she huddled aside and expressed her gratitude over and over again, perfectly maintaining her image of being rescued.

"You don't have to do this. I just feel sorry for you. It's not safe to travel alone, so I just gave you a ride."

"I understand. Thank you, Miss. Thank you, Miss."

"Xiaoyun, give her something to eat."

Jiang Qingyi waved her hand, "No need, I have food myself."

Xiaoyun jumped off the carriage and prepared a small stool for the young lady to make it easier for her to get off the carriage.

Jiang Qingyi also jumped down. After all, the owner had already jumped down, and it would not be good for her to continue staying in the car. Jiang Qingyi was aware of this.

The few guards following behind the carriage were probably here to protect the young lady. There weren't too many of them, so they followed the caravan.

Probably because they were busy on the road, they ate dry food at noon and did not use a pot to light a fire to cook.

Jiang Qingyi finally found a dry and ugly pancake from the space. Although it did not look good, it was made of pure flour and had no fillings in it, but it had a nice aroma of flour in its mouth. It tasted pretty good even after not having eaten it for a long time.

The journey to the imperial city was too far, and Jiang Qingyi sat idly outside the carriage every day and rested in the carriage at night.

Half a month passed in a flash, and Jiang Qingyi roughly knew the identity of the young lady. She was Chen Xianer, the eldest daughter of Duke Pingguo. This time she went to her maternal grandparents' home in the south, and was now on her way back to the imperial city.

Soon the caravan arrived at the imperial city, and after the carriage entered the city, they found a place to drop Jiang Qingyi off.

Chen Xian'er didn't say anything to Jiang Qingyi, as if giving her a ride was not a big deal.

It was already evening, and Jiang Qingyi was strolling on the street with a small bag, but she didn't find any particularly useful information.

When it was getting dark, Jiang Qingyi found a secluded place and changed her clothes. They were not very gorgeous, but just to make herself look less embarrassed.

After changing her clothes, Jiang Qingyi went to find an inn to stay in. Fortunately, Jiang Qingyi had a lot of gold and silver, so staying in the inn was not a problem.

Later, a curfew was imposed in the imperial city and no one went out, which made it convenient for Jiang Qingyi to go out and get information.

When she was about to climb out the window in her room, she heard a voice from next door, "Second Prince, everyone is ready. When do we start?"

Jiang Qingyi stopped what she was doing for a moment. There was no way she would miss anything related to the prince.

Then another voice said, "Big brother has neither talent nor virtue. He just took the position of the eldest son, which made father unwilling to give up for many years. If he won't give me what I want, then I will take it myself."

Jiang Qingyi thought, how come we have encountered such an explosive thing right away? Shouldn't you find a secluded place to discuss such things? Aren't you really afraid that there are ears behind the walls?

It seems that it is not so easy to train an emperor in the world. Jiang Qingyi doesn’t even know how many sons and daughters the emperor has. It is very difficult to choose one to rule the world from them.

No wonder the senior brothers have to spend a lot of time on this experience.

Jiang Qingyi thought about the rules that Si Xiu had mentioned. One cannot retain the identity of a cultivator, which means that there are no restrictions on the use of spiritual power. One cannot hurt others, which is even simpler. One cannot interfere with the overall environment, but it is also possible to use it on a single person.

She wanted to exploit a loophole in the rules and use the Mind Refining Formation to pick out a suitable candidate for the emperor. Wouldn't that make things much easier afterwards?

Jiang Qingyi did what she wanted to do. She no longer cared about the conversation next door. All she had to do was to quietly go to the palace to check the list of the emperor's children.

With her ability, it was very easy to avoid the guards of the palace, but Jiang Qingyi was not familiar with the layout of the palace, so it took some time to find things.

After finding the list, Jiang Qingyi directly copied it down and then looked at it slowly when she returned to the inn.

The emperor had many children, more than twenty in total, big and small, including seventeen princes and eight princesses.
