In November, the triennial draft begins again.

The beautiful women selected by each banner gathered from all over the country in mule carts to the gate of the Forbidden City at the root of the imperial city. The order in which they are arranged.The first ones are the relatives of the concubine in the palace, followed by the women who were previously selected and kept their badges, and the women who were re-selected this time, and the last are the newly selected women who were selected this time. They are arranged in order of age. There are two lights with the logo of "the daughter of a certain leader of a certain banner".Distribute the bus at sunset, enter Di'an Gate at night, wait outside the Shenwu Gate and wait for the palace gate to open before getting off. Under the guidance of the eunuchs in the palace, enter the Shunzhen Gate in order.The mule carts on which the show girls ride go east from Shenwumen to the south, exit Donghuamen, go north from Chongwenmen Street, pass through Beibazaar, and then pass Di'anmen to the outside of Shenwumen. It was noon the next day.

The one at the front is Niu Hulu's Hai Lanshan, who is the younger sister of Empress Xiaozhao. She is dressed in gold and a hundred butterflies and a narrow red satin jacket with flowers. She was much more dignified than when Empress Xiaozhao was alive, and only she dared to dress so ostentatiously when entering the palace.

Before coming to the draft, she already knew that step sister would enter the palace after this time, no matter how well she performed, she would definitely be named and kept, and with a jewel like her sister in front, no matter how she behaved, she would be nothing but the best in front of others. Her shadow.

In fact, when my sister entered the palace since she was a child, apart from having a vague shadow of her when she was very young, she was more known and looked up to her in the respectful tone of others.

At this moment, she could feel the scorching gazes and whispers of everyone behind her. Along the way, the eunuchs and court ladies had unconventional and attentive services, and she could feel the strange discomfort.

In this deep palace, what she carries on her back is the entire Xianghuang Banner, the entire Niu Hulu clan, and the whole family's ardent expectations for her. She grew up in the shadow of the queen's sister, and maybe she will still live in her shadow for the rest of her life.

Life is really a ridiculous thing. Empress Xiaozhao Niu Hulu's Dongzhu, who is struggling to get rid of the influence of Empress Xiaochengren's Hesheli family, also has a younger sister who wants to escape her shadow in her home where she never looks back.

A year ago, she could still look forward to a better life in the future without any worries. After leaving the Yifu, she met a good husband, gave birth to many lively and lovely children, and then quarreled with her beloved every day, caring about daily necessities Don't be a coquettish young lady who doesn't distinguish between five grains.

However, the death of Empress Daxing completely changed all of this. She Niu Hulu's Hai Lanshan, with such a famous name, is about to enter the palace. From now on, she will live, fight, smile, and serve like a sister. A man who is yearned for by all women, even that man will not become his own man, that man will be your master, your emperor, your monarch...
At this moment, she stood quietly, her eyes closed and her nose was concerned, the only thing she could hear was her own low breathing, leaving the entire harem of women and the woman who was about to become this harem behind her.

Behind her was Guo Luoluo's Mulan, Yipin's younger sister.Guo Luoluo's Mulan seems to be much worse than Yipin, even she herself is embarrassed to say that she is Yipin's younger sister, she is not as delicate and cute as Yipin, she is not as talented, she is not even half of her cheerful and lively personality, she has a little inferiority complex Unlike Niu Hulu's Hai Lanshan, who only has vague memories of her sister, Mulan can be said to adore and depend on her sister to the point of devotion. Since childhood, this stubborn and intelligent sister has been in charge of everything in her family, and she will always follow her. Just a little slug behind my sister.

She didn't have the desire to get rid of her sister's shadow like Niu Hulu's Hai Lanshan did. Ama asked her to enter the palace draft, and she came. Sister, tell her to be obedient, and she will be obedient.

But in fact, if you look carefully, Guo Luoluo's Mulan is as soft as her temperament, and her small eyes are thin and small. Although they are not as bright as her sister's eyes, they are extraordinarily lovely and pitiful when accompanied by faint willow leaf eyebrows. The five-color engraved silk stone green and silver mouse gown was also prepared for her by Er Niang, which made her look like a beautiful flower shining in the water, and like a weak willow supporting the wind, making people want to take care of her and help her.

Guo Luoluo's Mulan looked enviously at Niu Hulu's Hai Lanshan standing in front of her, seeing her standing so straight and her head held so high, she couldn't help thinking, when can I be like her the same?In this way, Ama, Erniang and sister don't have to worry about me all the time.
