In front of Ye Que Palace, the candidates participating in the preparatory mission stood neatly in two rows, quietly waiting for the orders of the people inside.
There was not much sun in the evening, and the bright red and orange sunset filled most of the sky. The birds stopped on the branches with hanging lanterns and closed their eyes to rest.
Night falls quietly.
When Xuanyuan Mengying brought Lin Zhongchun and others here, the place was completely silent. Except for the occasional cool breeze, there was no sound at all.
The four of them exchanged glances with each other, and then Xuanyuan Mengying left quietly with her maid, while Lin Zhongchun, Sun Zhaozhou and Gu Chen joined the group.
There was a man next to him, Lin Zhongchun, who joined the team on the right.
He glanced at Lin Zhongchun, feeling a little disgusted by the sudden arrival of the other three.
What time of the day is it now? You just came here. Could it be that you were walking backstage?
It is because of the people who work in the background that ordinary people like them want to use their talents, but they have no way to achieve results.
Now that I finally have the opportunity, I am afraid that I will lose the election again because of these people who suddenly come to the backstage.
Lin Zhongchun caught him rolling his eyes, silently noted his attitude, and then pretended not to see it, looking ahead and waiting to see what would happen next.
If the man next to him hadn't rolled his eyes at them, Lin Zhongchun might have asked him what step he was currently on.
But the other party's attitude was obvious, and if she continued to inquire about information from others, she was obviously asking for trouble.
The three of them were filling in. The previous team was lined up in two lines, and there was still one empty seat. Now the three of them were standing in the second line, filling in one place, and there were two more people. It was obvious at first glance.
So Gu Chen replenished it.
The man at the end of the first row was slightly surprised when he saw Gu Chen. He stared at Gu Chen with wide eyes.
Gu Chen looked back and asked, "Is something wrong?"
He was still holding a long sword in his arms, and with a stern face, he looked very untouchable.
The man shook his head and said nothing, for fear of getting into trouble.
"Why have you been waiting here for so long? How long do we have to wait?" Gu Chen turned his head and looked at the man who just stared at him with wide eyes.
The man was not sure whether the other person was talking to him. When he turned around, he saw that the other person's eyes met his own, making him tremble in fright.
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then replied: "Eunuch Qin told us to wait, and we will be asked a question later. If we answer it correctly, we will be elected. But I don't know why, we are waiting here, and there will be one soon."
It's almost an hour, and I haven't seen my father-in-law come up with questions for us to do."
The speaker was standing in front of Lin Zhongchun. He looked up at the man's back, slightly confused.
It stands to reason that this place is just outside the palace gate, and it only takes at most one stick of incense to enter and exit. But the eunuch left, and after almost an hour, I thought that something difficult to deal with must have happened inside.
Before Gu Chen could continue to ask, he saw a eunuch wearing a black hat running inside. He ran over in a hurry, and the flesh on his face jumped up and down rhythmically as he ran.
"I have a question in my hand right now. If anyone can answer it, please follow me in."
Now he is talking about entering, not like the man said before, you can be elected if you answer the questions correctly.
