Without turning his head, Qi Haoran said in a low voice, "There's no need to choose. You can sign up freely. Whoever feels that they won't lose face can participate. However, there aren't many people who are willing to perform on the spot every year."
There were not many families who could attend the palace banquet to begin with, and there were only a few young and good-looking legitimate descendants in those families. There were not many youths who had praise-worthy abilities, and there were even fewer who had the ability, the courage, and the approval of the elders in the family.
Why did it have to be a young and good-looking legitimate descendant?
If they weren't young, how could they have the cheek to stand up and perform? Even if that person wasn't gorgeous, they had to at least be decent-looking. At the very least, they couldn't make people dislike them immediately. If the first impression was bad, people wouldn't be very interested in watching that person perform.
