Riding the Pheonix Chapter 480: Select a lot

Not long after, the chamberlain came in and reported the identities of the thirteen ladies.

The emperor looked through it and handed it to the imperial concubine and concubine Hui.

The imperial concubine was surprised: "Miss Lu is here too?"

Concubine Hui said: "There is also a girl from the Lu family."

If they use this method to select a concubine, they have been prepared for it. The girl who is chosen may have a poorer family background.

No way, Mingwei himself has no family background.

Her father was beheaded, and she was still standing, which is already a blessing from the Lord. Compared with her, others are not bad at all.

Now that I can actually draw girls from the Lu family, the Lu family, and the girl from the Marquis Chengen Mansion, I can say that I am very lucky. Even if the concubines were selected normally, it would make sense for them to be on the list.

Although except for Wenying, they are all girls from the side branch.

Hearing the two empresses asking, the ladies of the two families met across the screen at the signal of the chamberlain.

It was quiet for a while, and then the imperial concubine's smiling voice came: "The two young ladies are really good people."

Since I praised them, I didn’t want to be cold to the other girls, so I met each of them.

Except for these three, the other ladies’ family backgrounds are inferior.

The lowest one, his father is just the chief clerk of Taichang Temple.

Regardless of family background, the appearance and manners of all the ladies are not bad. Mingwei remembered the courtyard where the lot was drawn earlier and there were a lot of servants guarding the door, and she understood.

The emperor said it was informal, but he still screened it first. After all, she is a princess, so she can't let crooked melons and cracked dates sneak in, right? If you win the phoenix lottery, should you admit it or not?

Wang An stood behind the screen, commenting and whispering to Yang Shu.

"Hey, the Miss Lu family is pretty. Judging from her demeanor, she looks a bit like Lu Shan. Do you know Lu Shan?"

Yang Shu retrieved this character from his memory: "Is it the granddaughter of Prime Minister Lu's family?"

"Yes, yes! Those who have good intentions call her the most beautiful woman in the capital. She has top-notch appearance and temperament, and she is also talented and clever. Back then..."

Wang An glanced at the prince opposite him and stopped what he said.

Yang Shu understood.

This is the Miss Lu family that the prince is interested in! Now that the Crown Princess has someone else, what will happen next?

"She got married the next year," King An whispered to him, "She is married to the legitimate son of the Pei family. She is living in the south with her husband who is living abroad. Speaking of which, you should call me cousin-in-law."

Yang Shu twitched his lips: "You know so clearly."

Wang An laughed, not feeling embarrassed, but a little proud: "There is no famous lady in the capital that I don't know. I hid under the altar table in Changsheng Temple for more than an hour before I saw her up close. A few glances. There is nothing to say about her appearance. She is gentle and elegant, just like a fairy."

"The saliva is dripping out!"

Wang An reflexively wiped the corner of his mouth, only to realize that he had been deceived, and said unconvinced: "I'm helping you! Your previous reputation for being romantic was really ruined, why do you know so little about the ladies of the capital!"

Yang Shu was too lazy to smile. Does he know what those wealthy ladies do? I don’t want to hook up with a decent woman.

"This Miss from the Lu family is really good!" Prince An returned to the topic, "If I really hit her, she is no worse than my tigress."

Yang Shu snorted and picked up the tea cup: "No matter how beautiful she is, can she be as beautiful as me?"

Wang An quickly glanced at Mingwei who was lagging behind, and immediately nodded: "That's true."

Not to mention the dozen or so young ladies who were drawn out, even if all the others were counted, this one was still top-notch.

Wang An became envious: "Hey, why didn't you take a fancy to me?"

Yang Shu looked at him coldly.

With this look in his eyes, King An immediately remembered that when Yang Shu left the capital, he made a naughty comment and his neck was almost broken by him...

Wang An shrank his neck and quickly gave in: "Let me just tell you, why are you so serious?"

"Humph!"

After talking about Miss Lu, King An continued to hold up the screen and look outside.

"Miss Xiang has good eyes, Miss Xia has a good figure, Miss Lu is also beautiful, but her shoulders are a bit thick..."

Amidst King An's chattering voice, the imperial concubine and Hui concubine spoke to each of the ladies and got a general understanding.

The ladies knew that behind the screen there was not only the empress, but also the Holy Emperor and several princes, so they were very excited and tried their best to express themselves.

Even if you don't win the phoenix lottery, you can make the noble person remember it, maybe there will be other good fortune?

After Concubine Pei finished speaking, she asked the emperor: "Your Majesty, do you want them to start now?"

The emperor nodded and said: "National Master."

"Yes." Xuanfei, who was standing next to the statue of Bixia Yuanjun, took a step forward and said, "Ladies, you have won the first lot from the ninety-nine lots, so you are all blessed. There is only one phoenix lottery, whoever draws it first will be the winner. Now the thirteen of you enter the palace at the same time. This order will inevitably affect the fairness. Therefore, I think, how about drawing them at the same time?"

The emperor's voice came from the screen: "Master, how do you smoke at the same time?"

Xuan Fei turned around, bowed his head, and replied: "Here is the lottery tube. Each of you ladies will choose one, and then show the lottery together. It doesn't matter who comes first."

The emperor thought for a while: "This is indeed fair."

Concubine Pei asked: "Choose one out of a hundred, what if no one wins?"

"It depends on the wishes of the Holy Emperor and the Empress. If you feel that the fate is not enough, you can choose another one."

Hearing what he said, the ladies became nervous.

It was quiet for a while, but Concubine Pei said: "That's not necessary. I think that all the ladies can win the first lot, which means you have this fate. If you don't draw the phoenix lot, you can draw again."

"Yes."

Xuanfei turned around and signaled, and the Taoist priest immediately took the lotus tube.

"I just ordered my disciples to wrap up the tails of the lottery tickets. Now each lottery ticket looks the same. The ladies can slowly choose until they are all selected, and then show the lottery tickets together. How about that?"

The Miss Lu family replied generously: "My little girl has no objection."

Others echoed.

Xuanfei nodded: "That's it."

The Taoist priest guarding the temple stood in front of them holding the lottery tube.

Some people were hesitant, some were picking and choosing, and some were smoking one with their eyes closed.

Wen Ying was extremely nervous. She was afraid that the lottery would be taken away too late, and she was also afraid that someone would notice the clues if she was too impatient.

Recalling what the prince had said earlier, she walked to the lottery tube.

Unexpectedly, she dialed the lottery tube and was stunned.

The red paper wrapped at the end of the signature is so long that only one head is exposed, and the mark the man mentioned cannot be seen at all.

What to do? Just pick one?

Wen Ying was so nervous that sweat broke out from the tip of her nose.

It took a lot of trouble for her family to be able to enter the palace. If she didn't win the lottery, the prince would not be able to explain it.

What's more, ever since Wen Ru entered the East Palace and sealed Baolin, her heart was racing like a horse.

It is not difficult for her to marry into a family based on her family name and the reputation of the prince~IndoMTL.com~, but it has been delayed until now, isn't it because she is unwilling to do so?

One day when the prince ascends the throne, Wen Ru will at least be a concubine, what about her? Are you going to pay a big tribute to this fourth sister you look down on in the future?

Wen Ying couldn’t stand even thinking about it.

But since the prince has Wen Ru, it is impossible for him to want her again. King Xin and King An both have wives, and the unmarried King Yue is her only chance.

Even if she knew that the King of Yue was embarrassed, knew that he had someone he liked, and knew that the prince wanted her to be his spy, she had to come.

No matter how it looks on the inside, it must look good on the outside!
