Speaking of which, the main reason why Sheng Changquan could meet Minglan in Youyang this time was the order issued in this palace.

Three years ago, the official family in the palace suddenly gave a command, instructing the inner officials in the palace to start selecting beautiful girls to enrich the harem.

However, the official family is not for himself this time. After all, he is older and pays more attention to health preservation!

For the sake of his own life, how could the official family choose a pear blossom to suppress the crabapple, which would ruin the way of immortality that was pure and weak for many years?

What's more, even if the official family has that heart at this time, they will not have that power.

After all, a concubine Rong was already a little overwhelmed, let alone add some other people?

I'm joking! I'm joking!

In fact, this talent show was actually because the officials cherished the elderly in the palace and wanted to release a group of old palace maids and female officials to reunite with their families.

Of course, the quota for going out is not mandatory, but makes the female officials apply for it themselves when they are older and want to leave the palace.

After all, some of these palace maids and female officials have long been unable to contact their relatives. If they are forced to leave the palace, how can they survive in the future?

The officials would naturally not do such ruthless and unrighteous things if they were pitying their servants. Therefore, most of the people who were released were palace maids and female officials who had a way out.

It is precisely because the palace has fewer people, that the government issued an order to recruit some girls to enrich the palace.

Of course, there is another deeper purpose here, that is, the official family is actually thinking of finding some girls of high qualifications among these group of beautiful girls and promulgating them to the prince and royal family.

Such as the adult fourth prince, King Chu, and more children of the royal family of appropriate age.

"Brother, stop the sound!"

"You and I shouldn't discuss this matter!"

Because this matter involved the palace, Minglan was also a little nervous.

After all, Sheng Changquan was destined to be an official in the future, so Minglan was still very cautious in this regard, for fear that his younger brother would be caught by others.

"It's okay, sister!"

Sheng Changquan smiled and comforted Minglan, then said softly: "There are no outsiders in the room now, so it's okay for us to talk to each other between brothers."

Although Xiaotao and Danju still exist in the house, Sheng Changquan obviously did not regard them as outsiders. Therefore, as soon as these words were said, a strange look appeared on Xiaotao and Danju's faces.

It is obvious that they are shocked by their trust from Minglan's brothers!

However, Xiaotao and the others didn't know that Sheng Changquan's words were just a calm move!

In fact, there is only one real reason why Sheng Changquan spoke so calmly, that is, he was sure that no one eavesdropped around him. As for Xiaotao and Danju, they are indeed trustworthy.

After all, as Minglan's maids, the two of them and Minglan's siblings also prospered and lost.

By the way, with the passage of these six years, Sheng Changquan's martial arts progress is naturally extraordinary. Not to mention how powerful it is, just talking about his innate superpowers is enough to sense the situation around him.

However, Xiaotao and the others didn’t know about Sheng Changquan’s considerations!

Therefore, the two of them became more and more sincere to the Minglan siblings.

Although they were grateful for the trust of Minglan and his brothers, Xiao Tao and Danju knew the right way. Seeing that Minglan and his brother seemed to have something to say, they naturally were inconvenient to disturb him. So after looking at each other, they both retreated out obediently.

Sheng Changquan just took a look at this and did not stop him. After all, this was their own choice.

"Squeak!"

After Xiaotao and Danju left, Minglan looked at her grown-up brother opposite and asked with her lips pursed.

"Brother, let's not talk about this for now!"

"Have you been doing well over the years?"

Although he had already met Sheng Changquan, Minglan still had to hear her brother's confirmation before she could feel at ease.

"Well? How can you not talk about this?"

Sheng Changquan did not ask Minglan to change the topic, but continued to ask: "Sister!"

"Tell me the truth, why are you the only one who follows your grandmother back to your hometown in Youyang, the fourth sister and the fifth sister?"

"Aren't they afraid of the draft?"

Seeing the different treatments of the three daughters of the Sheng family, Sheng Changquan frowned a little, as if he was reminded of something bad.

"Brother~"

My brother, my sister, knew what he was thinking when Minglan saw Sheng Changquan's expression.

"Brother, it's not what you think!"

Minglan sighed softly and explained: "Actually, this is my own choice!"

By the way, the main reason why Minglan hid in her hometown in Youyang was because she wanted to avoid the talent show order in the palace.

Because the official family was still thinking about choosing a wife for his dragon son and grandson, the order to recruit girls issued this time was not just for those girls from ordinary people.

By the way, in order to prevent the imbalance of the harem and make the country unstable, the emperors of all dynasties were selected in the homes of ordinary people.

It’s not that officials or noble families do not choose, but that there will be very few beautiful girls selected from it.

This is especially true when she was drafting for the emperor, just like the most favored Concubine Rong, who was selected like this.

Speaking of which, among the queens of this dynasty, except for a few, most of the mothers of the nation came out of the homes of ordinary people.

The advantage of this is that there is no need to worry about the excessive influence of the foreign relatives in the court, which will affect the stability of the national system.

After all, the queen's mother's family is not of a high origin, so the chances of the foreign relatives being in power will be extremely small and will not affect the general trend.

Back to the point, because this talent show was chosen by the prince and the royal family, they don’t have to consider the origin of the show girl.

Just like the fourth prince, King Chu, although he has grown up, compared with his two brothers, King Yong and King Yan, the power of King Chu is almost negligible. Therefore, in a certain direction, King Chu has cut off the possibility of having a great treasure.

Therefore, his wife didn't have to consider what kind of civilian origin he was, and even because of the guilt of the official family, he could find a noble daughter with a good family background as his wife.

Only in this way can the King of Chu use the powerful Yue family to protect himself in the future.

In the audition three years ago, the official family personally explained that the women of appropriate age at the homes of officials in Beijing should be registered, and the officials in the palace would then select them, and the appropriate ones would be sent directly to the palace, and then the queen, the queen and others would choose.

However, it would be fine if this is valued by others, so you can marry the royal family directly.

Even, he can become the Princess of Chu and enjoy the glory and wealth of his whole life.

Of course, this kind of chance is not high. After all, there is only one princess of Chu.

More likely, everyone will become a little female official in the palace.

Anyway, these are the daughters of officials in the court. Unless they offended someone, these people would never be able to become the lowest-level palace maids in the palace.

However, when facing such talent shows, officials who love their girls often use "official means" to bribe the internal officials who pick girls with various money, so that they can directly defeat their girls in the first round, so as not to end up as a palace maid.

Speaking of this, I have to praise Sheng Hong.

Although Sheng Hong was a little confused about his backyard, he was still very responsible for this matter.

After the palace's talent show orders came out that day, he immediately went to Shou'antang to visit the old lady.

Of course, it was fake that he visited Mrs. Sheng, but in fact, in order to discuss the talent show, he planned to let his mother take his three daughters back to his hometown in Youyang and take the opportunity to leave the whirlpool in the capital.

Although the Sheng family was able to bribe the internal officials and let their girls lose their election, after careful investigation, they would still have some intention of deceiving the emperor. If someone specifically reported it, a storm would be inevitable.

Therefore, it is the best thing to be able to leave the capital directly. After all, if people are gone, how can the other party report it?

In fact, Old Mrs. Sheng was very pleased with Sheng Hong's choice.

The old lady believed that although Sheng Hong was a bit of a favored concubine and killed his wife, she was still able to take some responsibility when facing the children and fulfilled her responsibilities as a father. So after thinking for a while, the old lady agreed to Sheng Hong's request and was willing to take Molan, Rulan and Minglan back to Youyang together and come back after the storm.

However, Sheng Hong and his son never expected that among these three children, except Minglan, Molan and Rulan were unwilling to return to Youyang.

The former refused because she disliked Yuyang's hometown as a countryside and there was nothing worthy of praise.

There are no bustling shops or bustling markets there, and more importantly, there are no wealthy families or noble children.

In Mo Lan's heart, going back to Youyang is simply to delay her time in finding a good man and delay her progress!

The reason why Rulan refused was even simpler.

Half of them is because she was influenced by Mrs. Wang and was unwilling to meet the relatives in her hometown, while the other half is because she has a better principle.

That is, she can choose to go back to Dingshan where her grandfather Wang’s family is located.

Dingshan where the Wang family is located is not comparable to that of Youyang, it is a big city.

Whether it is the prosperity of Dingshan, food, clothing, housing and transportation, or the wealthy families that have lived in for generations, they are far superior to Youyang.

Therefore, Rulan, who is playful by nature, is naturally willing to go to a more prosperous place.

Not to mention, Rulan is also quite afraid of Old Lady Sheng, and always feels that the old lady is even more harsh than Madam Kong!

If Rulan comes to live with the old lady, wouldn’t it make her like a prisoner in darkness?

Therefore, after Rulan ran to Weiruixuan and acted pitifully towards her mother, she got what she wanted and did not have to go back to Youyang, but went directly to Dingshan.

There is actually another small episode in this, that is, after Mo Lan saw Rulan being able to go to Dingshan, she actually had a thought in her mind and wanted to follow her to Dingshan and go there to hide from the capital.

By the way, in order to achieve his own goals, the words Molan is really made in a row.

She said that she was one sister, and the reason why she went to Dingshan was mainly because she wanted to take care of her sister. As for the words of another sister Minglan, Molan said that there was an old lady there and she couldn't use her!

However, it is extremely difficult for Molan to go to Dingshan!
