The world had decided that it needed some happy events to whitewash it. Hence, the ceremony to choose a prince consort was especially grand.
Because there were too many people who signed up, the final selection method was like a level test.
The most preliminary screening was filtered through age, height, and appearance.
Excluding those below eight feet tall and those above thirty years old, what was left were slender young talents with outstanding appearances.
The second screening was a literary test. The men who participated in the selection of the Prince Consort passed three tests as if they were taking the imperial examination and finally five hundred of them were left.
The third round was the martial test. Among the five hundred men, the most outstanding hundred men were chosen through a real battle.
At this point, the hundred most outstanding men in the world were selected. Only then did these hundred men have the right to enter the palace and see Xia Wanyuan.
This emperor's son-in-law selection ceremony was grand and unheard of in the world, so much so that this huge matter was spreading everywhere on the streets.
"Eldest Princess." Xie Yun poured a cup of tea for Xia Wanyuan. "People who like the moon don't insist on having it, but they have to chase it at least once. Don't you think so?"
Xia Wanyuan took a sip of tea. "Mm."
The two of them did not say anything else.
After a few days of rest, the last hundred men would go to the palace today to accept Xia Wanyuan and Xia Wei's assessment.
Not far away, the voices of the honor guard could already be vaguely heard. A hundred handsome men rode past the street on tall horses.
"Eldest Princess, the pre-selected Prince Consort is about to enter the palace. We should go back."
Xia Wanyuan stood up, but she stopped the moment she left. She turned around and glanced at the peach blossom pastry on the table. "Take a portion of this and send it to Tai Hua Hall."
Hearing Xia Wanyuan's words, Xie Yun's eyes flickered.
Tai Hua Hall was Jun Shiling's hall.
Watching Xia Wanyuan leave, Xie Yun shook his head gently.
There would probably not be a winner in this selection ceremony, because there was someone who had already won Xia Wanyuan's heart even if he lay there and did nothing.
