The spring is full of beauty, the breeze is gentle, and the spring is beautiful in March, but there is a condensation in the Hechun Hall.

"A palace draft?!" Chen Lanxi glanced at the three people in front of him.

When they found that they were not a joke, they frowned slightly: "Do you want me to enter the palace for the Shen family?!"

"Yes." Chen Cangxu turned his eyes slightly and nodded.

At this moment, he didn't really want to face his eldest daughter's gaze.

"No wonder." Chen Lanxi sneered in the corner of his mouth.

No wonder her father and stepmother, who didn't like her, would hurriedly take her back from her ancestral home, and even called her the end of her filial piety period, and could not bear to suffer outside.

It turned out to be for the palace draft.

"I won't go." Chen Lanxi refused firmly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Cangxu, who was just feeling guilty, immediately changed his face: "Nothing! The imperial edict of the talent show has been issued. How could you not go if you say you don't go?!"

The stepmother Cui, next to him, also said, "Lan, this is a rule, and our Shen family cannot tolerate no."

Since its founding, Da Cong has had rules - whenever he encounters a palace draft, officials of the fourth rank or above must send one of his daughters of the right age and who has not married to him to run for the election.

Chen Cangxu was the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple and was appointed as the fourth rank of official position, which was within this range.

According to the rules, Chen Lanxi was running for election, but...

"I'm not the only one of the right-age women in the family, why did I go?" Chen Lanxi turned her eyes and looked at the graceful and handsome young girl next to Cui, "Why don't the second sister run for the election?"

"Entering the palace is not a bad thing. If Qing'er can go, I will naturally be happy to let her go." Cui explained, "It's just that Qing'er is lively and not suitable for life in the palace. You are more stable than her, so you can only take on this burden."

Seeing Chen Lanxi silent, Cui advised again: "It has only been four years since the sage ascended the throne, and now it is in the double decade of prosperity of the Spring and Autumn Period. The position of the central palace is also hanging in the air, and anyone can compete for it. If you enter the palace, you may be very glorious in the future."

"Scenery?" Chen Lanxi sneered, "Is the lady fooling me with the illusory scenery really thinking about me, or is she just trying to plan the marriage that my grandfather had made with Concubine Chi in her early years?!"

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

The eldest girl from Houchi accidentally entered the palace, and the executor of the engagement became her only son, King Cheng Nan.

A son-in-law like Cheng Nan is awesome. It’s a pity that the elders are orderly and if they want to marry, it’s her eldest daughter who will marry first, and it’s not the second turn.

What he said was to send her into the palace for her future glory. In fact, it was just to use her life's freedom to pave a prosperous road for her daughter.

Thinking of this, a hint of coldness was added to the soft face.

"Lan Xi, you misunderstood me." Cui still had a gentle attitude with a good temper. "It was not that I fell in love with the engagement, but that the Chi family suddenly mentioned this a while ago. At that time, you were in the filial piety period. I only mentioned Qing'er to them because I was afraid of offending me."

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

That was King Cheng Nan, who was most loved by the late emperor!

Only those in the palace can ask about his marriage. Not to mention the Empress Dowager, even the Concubine Chi herself had almost no contact with the Shen family. Who would take the initiative to mention the marriage in her early years?
