Chapter 2785 Want to Break (7)
As if entering an invisible cage, a sense of oppression rushed over my face.
Posthumous title: Jing, Zhuang Su.
Don't dare to speak loudly.
The eunuchs took the remaining fifteen young masters to a small room in the side hall.
He didn't say anything, just told them to wait in the room.
Fifteen children lined up in three rows, and those in the first row were called out first.
For the rest, continue to wait.
Still no stools and no water.
You have to stand, not sit.
Yun Si lowered her head, licked her dry lips, lowered her eyes, and felt languid.
The people next to her were talking quietly, and she listened.
"Hey, do you think I should behave a little bit later? Guarantee that I won't be selected?"
"I probably won't be selected. My parents told me that my mother has already chosen someone. This time it's just a formality."
"Really? Who is it? Has it been decided?"
"Who else could it be? My mother-in-law's family, the Prime Minister's family."
As he spoke, he pointed to the person standing in the middle of the row in front.
Yun Si followed and looked over. The one standing in the middle was the tallest and looked the strongest and healthiest.
Standing upright, head raised and chest raised, like a bamboo pole, even if he stood for a whole day, he did not complain.
Compared with other people who look tired, they really stand out a lot and can be seen at a glance.
Yun Si thought about what her doting mother said to her before going out, and she seemed to have mentioned that it was just a formality and she would be back soon.
No wonder...she would let her into the palace without any worries, risking being discovered.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the eunuch coming in from the door with a sharp voice.
"The rest, line up."
It was supposed to be divided into two batches and go out one at a time.
But maybe because the first batch was not selected, in order to save time, the rest were put together.
The person who had just spoken shut up, everyone was quiet, and followed me obediently.
Leave the small room and enter the main hall.
At this time, the sunset in the sky gradually faded, the light became dimmer, and a cool breeze blew.
Inside the hall, a luxurious and magnificent clear jade screen stretches across the center of the main hall, with two towering pillars standing quietly on the side.
The soft moon shadow gauze curtains hung down layer by layer and fell on the cold dark ground, blocking the light of the sunset outside, making it even darker.
The remaining ten people were arranged to stand in front of the screen.
There was someone behind the screen, but they couldn't see anything.
Yun Si stood on the far left, so far away that she could almost touch the silky gauze curtain.
It's cool and smooth to the touch and feels great in the hand.
She looked at it and then looked at the screen.
Just watching, the eunuch father-in-law bowed to the side and said in a respectful voice, "Your Highness, the rest of the people are here. Please take a look."
Like picking livestock to be slaughtered.
Yun Si looked at the emerald screen quietly.
Behind the screen, the shadow of a person is looming. The darker the sky, the harder it is to distinguish the shadow.
The people inside didn't speak, and the air was condensed for a while.
The atmosphere seems a little bad.
After a long time, a graceful and elegant female voice was heard from behind the screen, breaking the stagnation.
"Which family are you children from?"
"Let's all talk about it individually so that His Highness can get to know each other."
Outside the screen, children stood in a row and looked at each other.
It seems that he also knows that he cannot be rude or lose face on such occasions.
So, the villain standing on the far right was the first to speak.
"See you, the empress. See your highness. My surname is Liang. I am named Jiaping. I am thirteen years old. I am native of Hengyang. My father is Liang Kuangbo. His official rank is the second rank of Grand Tutor."
