The young leader said, "Congratulations to all of you, young masters, for passing the primary selection. In the following month, we will arrange for all of you, young masters, to study the etiquette and rules of the palace. One month later, the elegant men and women will be chosen for the selection by the Emperor. If all of you are chosen by the Emperor, you will be conferred the title of noble and below.
Yan Ge intentionally asked rudely: "Eunuch, is the selection so simple? "You don't need to compete in painting with zither music?"
These words immediately offended the other handsome men, causing them to turn and look at Yan Ge with unfriendly eyes. Could it be that it was because the second young master of Yan Family was so skilled in the art of the zither, the calligraphy and painting? A person who loved to show off would not be easy to deal with.
The forty year old eunuch had the same thought, he glanced at Yan Ge, "No need for that. All of you are flowery men, that's why you're being so courteous. The Emperor's kindness is truly great. Everyone here should be grateful. "
All the men said in unison, "Thank you for your advice, Eunuch."
Yan Ge did not speak. Two words repeatedly spun around in his mind: It's over, it's over, it's over...
"Little Yong, Little Shun, bring these young masters to their residence."
"Yes."
"..."
In a month's time, Yan Ge felt that he still had a chance. But in just two days, he discovered a problem: He had been set! It was only because these two days, when he had been studying etiquette, he had purposely performed very badly. The aunts who taught him manners were just a little disappointed with him, without any dissatisfaction or reproach. "Then how does the lecherous emperor manage the country?" "It should have been fixed a long time ago!"
With no way out, Yan Ge could only place his hopes on the Emperor to choose. Only the Emperor could deny him having reached this step. After coming to this conclusion, he could only relax.
After interacting with the other fourteen handsome men for a while, Yan Ge quickly knew what he should do. Soong Ruhao told him that there were only three standards for the Emperor's selection: one looked at his appearance, two looked at the Emperor's feelings, and three were his etiquette. At that time, all he needed to do was to think of a way to make himself invisible to the Emperor.
Speaking of Soong Ruhao, Yan Ge felt that he would definitely be selected. What he liked was a man with a strong and handsome face, but Soong Ruhao and those handsome men were even more so called elegant. They were simply unable to enter his eyes, thus in the beginning, he did not take a careful look at Soong Ruhao's appearance. It was only later that he realized that Soong Ruhao was indeed a beautiful man, with straight eyebrows and starry eyes.
The time passed quickly as the intense training continued. Soon, the first month would come. During this month, the pretty boy's side seemed to be very peaceful. But even if Yan Ge did not pay attention to them, he heard that a few big matters had occurred at the nun's side. One of the most beautiful ladies accidentally fell and ruined her face; the other one, surprisingly talented, burned her finger carelessly and could no longer play the piano or paint.
On the day of the second round of elections, all the pretty boys and pretty girls, with a total of two hundred or so people, lined up outside the Hall for the Emperor to choose from. The emperor, empress, and concubines who were interested in the talent show were all in the Hall of Fangfang.
The pretty boy and the pretty girl walked up to the Emperor in groups of six and accepted his selection.
Compared to the beautiful woman, the handsome man was the first to be chosen. Because of his birth, Yan Ge was placed in the first group. In order to welcome this day, he made ample preparations. He chose the most common clothes and even specially used cosmetics to make his face look uglier.
The six of them entered the great hall and stood in a row below, turning left, right, and back as their aunt had instructed, so that the emperor and the others could see their faces, their faces, and their figures. Yan Ge followed the other five people and performed a foolish action, feeling awkward as if there were bugs crawling all over his body.
After the round was over, the eunuch called out his name.
"The son of the Crown Prince's tutor, Soong Ruhao."
Soong Ruhao took two steps forward and respectfully kowtowed to the Emperor and Empress.
"Greetings to the emperor and empress. Your majesty has been blessed, the empress has been blessed."
After a moment of silence, a pleasant female voice laughed softly, like silver beads rolling on a jade plate. "Your majesty, the Young Master of the Tutor Manor is indeed as dainty as Zhong Lingxiu's words."
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Yan Ge did not dare raise his head. He did not know who was speaking, but he guessed that it was the Queen. The emperor did not speak, he did not know what he did, but he heard the eunuch sing again: "Soong Ruhao, leave your card behind." This was how the Emperor had taken a liking to him.
Soong Ruhao knelt down to express his gratitude and retreated out of the hall.
The second handsome man went up, but neither the emperor nor the empress expressed anything. The eunuch then sang, "Liu Wei En, put down the plate."
The third was Yan Ge.
In front of the most respected person in the world, Yan Ge's proud knee was finally about to hit the ground. Huangfu Empire was a nation of etiquette. They respected the left as their leader, his mistake was not small but it was not enough to implicate the Yan Family, it could be said to be just right. This was the brilliant idea that he had come up with.
Her sharp eyes suddenly fell on Yan Ge's body, as if she was going to pierce through him.
Yan Ge's entire body could not help but tense up, this reaction was real. His brows twitched as if he had just discovered that he had made a mistake. His face changed as he quickly fell to the ground and trembled. The reaction behind it was a feint.
There was a long period of silence above, and the female voice from before once again rang out. In a gentle tone, she said, "Your Majesty, please calm your anger. The second young master of Yan Family is probably too nervous.
Yan Ge frowned, this woman …
The emperor was still silent. After a moment, a eunuch shouted out, "Yan Ge, leave your name plate here."
What? Yan Ge almost raised his head to see if the emperor was blind, but his reason was still there. He suppressed his anger with difficulty, thanked the emperor, and left the hall.
The system sounded especially gloating, "Ding. Congratulations, you have successfully completed the main task 2 - Obtain the Emperor's permission to leave your card behind. Reward: 10 silver taels, 2 Poison Resistant Pills. Main task 3 - Titled by the emperor. If the quest was successful, the reward was 50 silver taels. Please choose 'Yes' if you accept the mission, and 'No' if you reject it. "
"What a scam!"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
