The spring is shining, the breeze is soft, and the spring is beautiful in March, but there is a condensation in the spring hall.

"Entering the palace draft?!" Shen Lanxi's gaze swept over the three people in front of him.

Finding that they didn't seem to be joking, Fang Cai frowned slightly: "You want me to enter the palace draft on behalf of the Shen family?!" ”

"Yes." Shen Cangxu looked away slightly and nodded.

At the moment, he didn't really want to face the eyes of his eldest daughter.

"No wonder." A sneer appeared at the corner of Shen Lanxi's mouth.

No wonder her father and stepmother would hurriedly take her back from the ancestral home, and they also praised her for the end of her filial piety, and could not bear her suffering outside.

It turned out to be a draft in the palace.

"I'm not going." Shen Lanxi categorically refused.

Hearing this, Shen Cangxu, who was still feeling a little guilty just now, immediately changed his face: "Nonsense! The draft decree has been issued, why don't you say you won't go if you don't go?! ”

The stepmother next to him, Cui Shi, also followed: "Lan, please, this is the rule, and we can't allow our Shen family to say no." ”

Dacong has had a rule since the founding of the country - all officials who are drafted in the palace and above have to send a daughter of the right age and unmarried to the family to run for election.

Shen Cangxu is the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, and the official worships the four products, which is just within this range.

According to the rules, Shen Lanxi is a candidate, but...

"I'm not the only woman of school age in the family, why should I go?" Shen Lanxi turned his eyes to look at the slim young girl next to Cui's, "Why didn't the second sister run?" ”

"It's not a bad thing to enter the palace, if Qing'er goes, I'm naturally happy to let her go." Cui Shi Rourou explained, "It's just that Qing'er has a lively temperament and is not suitable for life in the palace." You are more stable than her, and this burden can only be carried by you. ”

Seeing that Shen Lanxi was silent, Cui Shi persuaded again: "It has only been four years since Jinsheng ascended the throne, and now he is in the double decade of the Spring and Autumn Period. The position of the middle palace is vacant, and anyone can compete for it. If you enter the palace, you may not know how beautiful it will be in the future. ”

"Scenery?" Shen Lanxi laughed, "Madame fooled me with the ethereal scenery, is she really thinking about me, or is she simply trying to find the family affair that my grandfather set with Concubine Chi in his early years?!" ”

In the early years, Mr. Shen had a good relationship with the Chi family, and then exchanged tokens and set a marriage contract for his grandchildren.

The eldest girl of Houchi entered the palace by mistake, and the executor of the marriage contract became her only son - King Cheng Nan.

A son-in-law like King Cheng Nan is very good, but it's a pity that the eldest daughter should marry first, and it won't be the second daughter's turn to marry.

said that sending her to the palace was for her future scenery, in fact, it was just to use her life's freedom to pave a broad road for her daughter.

Thinking of this, there was a bit of coldness on that soft face.

"Lan Xi, you misunderstood me." Cui's still has that good-natured and gentle gesture, "It's not that I fell in love with the marriage contract, but the Chi family suddenly mentioned it some time ago." At that time, you were in the period of filial piety, and for fear of offending, I mentioned Qing'er to them. ”

"The Chi family took the initiative to mention it?" Shen Lanxi didn't believe it, "King Cheng Nan only turned eighteen in the middle of this year, why is he so anxious?" What's more, the Chi family is not qualified to ask about his marriage. ”

That is the first emperor's favorite King Cheng Nan, who is now a holy weapon!

The only people who can inquire about his marriage are those in the palace. Leaving aside the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, even Concubine Chi herself has almost no contact with the Shen family, who would take the initiative to mention the marriage in the early years?

Lies are repeated, for this family matter, Cui's really doesn't want to lose face!
