"Hey, I heard that the emperor is going to choose a concubine again! I don't know how many good girls will be hurt this time, oh." The old man was drinking tea and blowing foam, his words were full of lamentation and regret.

"Isn't it? No matter what, we don't care about this matter, just let him go." Accompanying him was an ordinary-looking man who seemed to be in his forties. Although it was a pity, he could They are just ordinary people, even if they want to do something, they don't have the ability.

Today is the day for Emperor Long Hui to choose a concubine. Since he ascended the throne, Long Hui will issue a notice every year. The content of the notice is the requirements for choosing a concubine. Like previous years, this year's notice is also about the selection of concubines. The age requirement, but there is an extra small print, that line of writing is indeed 'Regardless of men and women, people of the right age can enter the palace to participate in the draft. '

Both men and women can be used, which has never happened in previous years. Which of the emperor's concubines is not beautiful and charming, even if they don't have a beautiful appearance, they must be among the dragons and phoenixes, with the best appearance.

And the Pan family in the capital city is also arguing because of this matter. The Pan family is a glorious family, and the power of the Pan family spreads all over the capital. It is the emperor's most trusted one. Almost every generation of the Pan family must have one of them who will become the emperor's confidant , and Pan Xiangrong, the best of the Pan family this year, became the emperor's sidekick three days ago with his own efforts, and he is not far from his heart.

At this time, the Pan family fell into silence because of the emperor's announcement. The Pan family is not only the emperor's confidants, but also the emperor's bedside people. The eldest lady of the Pan family, Pan Yuanrou, is now one of the four concubines. Far away, the Pan family can be said to have survived by relying on the emperor's reuse and favor, but this paper notice made them feel that things were derailed.

"Father, how do you think this matter is more secure?" Pan Xianghua, the second youngest of the Pan family, frowned and asked Pan Zheng, who was sitting in the chief seat. His handsome face was full of anxiety and suspicion at this moment. Let them be unpredictable, for fear that something unexpected will happen.

"My son, don't be anxious. Xiang Rong will definitely solve our doubts by His Majesty's side. We just need to wait and see." Pan Zheng said leisurely. He seemed to think that this was just a trivial matter. Pan Xianghua looked at his father's calmness. He also felt that he had acted too hastily, so he slowed down and tried to calm himself down.

There are four sons in the Pan family. The eldest son, Pan Xiangrong, was selected by the emperor as a servant because of his extraordinary talents. The eldest daughter, Pan Yuanrou, became the emperor's concubine in the draft six years ago. The second son, Pan Xianghua, is still in private school but has already read four books. Among the Five Classics, Sun Tzu's Art of War, etc., only the youngest son, Pan Ran, was unknown. Since the day he was born, Pan Ran had never left Pan's house, so no one knew what he looked like, except that he had curly hair this year.

"Hua'er, Rong'er, can you tell me which companies His Majesty's show posts have been sent to?"

"Not yet, father, I think it will be in the next few days." Pan Xiangrong replied truthfully. The show post is a request post sent by the emperor during the selection of concubines. Anyone who receives the show post must participate in the draft. Violators will be punished by military law. This is also a compulsive request, and those who received the show posts are all in pain and despair. They have no ability to resist, and can only let their children enter the palace to serve the tyrant, and even die silently in the palace. in the palace.

The selection of the emperor should be the thing that the common people are most happy to see, but here there is only despair, just because the current emperor Long Hui is a tyrant, he is cruel and bloody, and regards human life as worthless, even those who trust him will Died in the place of burial due to a little carelessness.

This kind of emperor, this kind of draft really doesn't make people like it, but Pan Zheng and the others are not worried, because the only person in the Pan family who is of the right age is the youngest son Pan Ran, but no one knows what Pan Ran looks like, so they don't think the emperor I will send the show post to Pan's family, although the fact that a man can also enter the palace as a concubine is really inconceivable.

"Master, master, Manager Wang is here!" The person who came was Fang Huai, the old housekeeper of the Pan family. He was walking in a hurry at this moment, with a panicked expression on his face, as if something terrible had happened.

"Director Wang? How did he come? Please come quickly." Pan Xianghua was very surprised by the arrival of Director Wang. Director Wang is the chief eunuch next to the emperor, and he would not leave the palace without important matters. Government, I hope it will not be a bad thing.

Walking in with a whisk in hand at the door was a tall man dressed as a eunuch who walked slowly. The only difference between this man and other men was his walking posture, but even though he was a eunuch, his face still didn't have much Feminine, looks very natural.

"Master Pan, our family is here to congratulate you." Mr. Wang said with a smile on his face while holding a bronzing sticker.

When Pan Zheng's eyes saw the bronzing sticker, he was rarely flustered, "I don't know what it is, I want Mr. Wang to deliver it in person." Pan Zheng said pretending to be puzzled, but his trembling hands showed It turns out that he is not as calm as the surface.

Pan Xiangrong, who got up at the side, naturally also saw that it was a show post. He thought of his younger brother Pan Ran. Pan Ran is of the right age now. Could it be that the owner of this show post is Pan Ran? Pan Xiangrong was shocked by this conjecture. In a cold sweat, he was worried about his little brother.

"Oh, what kind of happy event can it be? Of course, it is a show post sent by His Majesty to our family. You know that few companies can receive this show post. Mr. Pan is a lucky one. He has to take it away."

Manager Wang left after talking on the phone, leaving behind the bronzing show post. Looking at the name on the show post, Pan Zheng sighed and sat back. His youngest son will not be able to escape after all.

After some hesitation, Pan Xianghua still decided to send this show post to Pan Ran.

After walking through those gorgeous buildings, Pan Xianghua came to a courtyard full of wormwood. The courtyard was very elegantly arranged. The wormwood in the courtyard grew well, and the layers looked very neat. The courtyard Next to it is Pan Ran's shelter.

"Little brother, the second brother brought you something, come out quickly." Pan Xianghua shouted loudly holding the post, and after getting a response, the smile on his face became extraordinarily bright, and a group of people ran towards Pan Xianghua. A young man in a gray silk dress, embroidered with silky silver borders, looks exquisite and elegant. The young man's appearance is excellent, without the glamour of a woman, but only the delicate and handsome that belong to the young man, like a stream of water clear.

"Second brother, what are you holding?" The young man's eyes were very clean, but the direction he was looking at was not Pan Xianghua's eyes but a certain point on his face. A blind person is not because Pan Ran is blind and disrespectful to his elder brother, but because he is born unable to see the appearance of people, only their outlines.

When Pan Ran was young, Pan Zheng had invited many doctors to look at them, but the answers he got were always incomprehensible. The young man could not see the appearance of people but could see their clothes. What he saw was only those The color of a person is a very wonderful feeling. Everyone has their own unique color and shape. Even if Pan Ran cannot see his appearance, he can clearly know who is in front of him.

Such eyes did not cause trouble to Pan Ran. Except for the appearance of people, he could see other things clearly, and such eyes also benefited Pan Ran. He could disguise himself in others. Those who want to hide their identities are useless in front of Pan Ran.

It was also because of this that in his eyes, no one was distinguished as high or low, because in Pan Ran's eyes they were just a cloud of fog in different clothes with different colors and shapes.

It was also because the Pan family had to place Pan Ran here to protect his safety.And those wormwoods were also planted by Pan Ran's request. In order to prevent mosquitoes, Pan Ran was most afraid of insects.

Pan Ran looked at the familiar color and shape in front of him. He knew that this was his second brother, but now the color on his second brother made him feel a little sad, as if something bad happened.

Pan Xianghua stroked Pan Ran's hair, feeling sorry for his younger brother. He looked at his gray long coat that had not changed for ten years, and remembered his younger brother's words back then. He said, "Gray is between black and white, not white." It's clear, and it's not black. 'They all understand the meaning of these words, and it is precisely because they understand that they are more willing to pamper them.

"Little brother, this is a show post. Anyone who receives a show post must participate in the draft on the day of the draft. This is what the emperor means." Seeing Pan Ran's ignorant appearance, Pan Xianghua couldn't bear it, but he had to do this. Do it, he stretched out his right hand and handed the show card he was holding tightly to Pan Ran's hand.

"Is this the show post?" Pan Ran touched his name on the post and looked at the overly flamboyant post. He knew the meaning of the draft and knew that he couldn't resist. He had nothing against these things. , because there is no escape.

"Second brother, I'll go, don't worry." Pan Ran hugged his second brother, he heard his second brother's sigh, felt his embrace, and looked at the show post in his hand, feeling very disturbed.

These days, Pan Ran can clearly feel how anxious and worried her father and second brother are, but these are useless in front of the supreme imperial power.The day of the draft is coming soon, and Pan Xiangrong and Pan Yuanrou, who know that Pan Ran is about to participate in the draft, are also very worried. Pan Yuanrou is the emperor's concubine but lives in fear all day long, but now her younger brother has to face the same pain as her. She wanted to save him but could do nothing, because such a tyrant would not show mercy or give anyone alms.

Pan Yuanrou has been terrified in the past six years. She has witnessed Long Hui's brutality, and even seen Long Hui kill his concubine many times, beating people to death just because of a trivial incident. The sound resounded throughout the palace, who would fall in love with such a husband? It is a blessing not to be killed, and because of Long Hui's cruelty, the number of concubines in the harem is decreasing sharply, which also makes Pan Yuanrou very worried .

On the day of the draft, Pan Ran was sent to the palace in a light yellow sedan chair. At this time, there would always be a few conspicuous light yellow sedan chairs walking in the middle of the road on the streets of the capital. The people in the sedan chairs were those There are three sedan chairs for this year's sedan chairs, two of which are male.
