Chapter 1378 How Many Families Lost Their Daughters
Chapter 1378 Several families have lost their daughters
Tang Yiwan was puzzled: "Why? Is Your Highness the Princess afraid that others will laugh at my little girl?"
Gu Nuoer shook his head: "There are rules in the palace. Beautiful girls cannot have any physical diseases, otherwise they will be kicked out of the palace immediately!"
Although the little girl knew very well that her father would not choose any beautiful girl this time.
However, it’s okay to remind the simple and kind-hearted Tang Yiwan.
After Tang Yiwan heard this, he put the poria cake away and smiled nonchalantly.
"Your Highness, to be honest, my daughter has never thought about entering the palace or being elected."
Gu Nuoer looked at her, her watery eyes shimmering, waiting for her next words.
Tang Yiwan was from a low background, and in usual drafts, most of the people selected were ladies from high families.
From a family like theirs, it might be possible to be a concubine for a prince, but it was unheard of for a woman to be an emperor, or to be a prince's concubine.
But unexpectedly, this time the emperor actually single-handedly selected a group of daughters from the fourth to sixth grades to enter the palace.
Tang Yiwan suddenly transformed from a young lady lying flat on her back to a beautiful lady.
She was flattered and frightened.
Maybe it was because Gu Nuoer was easy to talk to and Tang Yiwan didn't want to hide her thoughts.
"The palace is really nice. Everyone is wearing beautiful clothes. Even the palace maids are like fairies, walking leisurely."
"But I'm not comfortable in the palace. I'm so stupid, I will definitely get into trouble. I once heard from the aunt in charge of beautiful girls that in the past, when beautiful girls got into trouble, the family was implicated. I still don't want to cause trouble for my parents."
"What's more, my father is just a fifth-grade official, in charge of dozens of servants and headmen. Recently, several families in our area have lost their daughters. My father is very anxious. I must not cause any more trouble for him.
"
Gu Nuoer blinked: "Lost your daughter?"
Tang Yiwan nodded: "Yes, some people say that people from other counties came here to kidnap and traffic girls with some background but not too high status. They want to send them to Yangzhou and train them to be the playthings of wealthy businessmen."
"Before entering the palace, I was restrained at home by my mother all day long and could not go anywhere. However, some people said that the girls accidentally went into the mountains and got lost."
After all, when those girls disappeared, they did so with their carriages and the accompanying servants and maids!
There is no other explanation except that he fell down the mountain.
Gu Nuoer kept this matter in mind, and she would investigate it thoroughly with brother Siming later.
It was getting late, and Gu Nuoer felt a little tired, so she said goodbye to Tang Yiwan.
Tang Yiwan quickly stood up and said goodbye.
After Gu Nuoer left, Tang Yiwan left through another hanging flower door.
However, as soon as he walked out of the door, he saw a figure standing there motionless!
Tang Yiwan was so frightened that he exclaimed: "Who!"
She took a closer look and saw that it was another beautiful girl, Chen Xiang!
Chen Xiangren is handsome and not very talkative. He usually does everything alone.
It's just those eyes that always make Tang Yiwan feel deep.
Chen Xiang said in a soft voice: "Tang Xiunv, did you scare me? I'm sorry, the sun is too bright. I'm tired from walking, so I'm going to rest here."
Tang Yiwan didn't take it seriously, just covering her heart: "It's okay, do you need me to help you go back?"
Chen Xiang shook his head: "Thank you, but I'd better go by myself."
Tang Yiwan knew that she was withdrawn and didn't like to be close to others, so she didn't say anything and went on her own.
