Riding the Pheonix Chapter 486: Win again
Wen Ying’s crime of cheating has been proven.
Such a change occurred during a lottery selection for a concubine. Not only was the emperor displeased, but the ladies were also frightened.
But then, someone discovered a loophole and boldly suggested, "Your Majesty, since the Phoenix Lotus has been manipulated, does the result just now not count?"
As we all know, the emperor is a benevolent king, and from what we have just seen, the emperor is very fair. Can we fight for it for ourselves?
This sentence was immediately recognized by the other girls, who all looked at the screen expectantly.
However, the first one to jump out and object was His Royal Highness the King of Yue...
"The one who did the trick is Miss Wen San, why should others be affected? Your Majesty, this is unfair!"
The lady was also willing to risk her life and argued, "The reason why Miss Mingqi drew the phoenix lottery was because Miss Wensan recognized it first. It can be seen that this incident affected the result of the draw. If the draw cannot be repeated, , how to calculate it as fair and just?"
"Hey, you..."
The emperor interrupted Yang Shu and asked Xuanfei, "Master, what do you think?"
Xuan Fei muttered, "What Miss Xia said makes sense. Since the cause and effect is established, it cannot be considered as having no influence."
The emperor nodded, "Okay, let's draw again!"
The ladies all showed happy expressions.
Yang Shu was anxious, "Your Majesty, you said that as long as she wins the phoenix lottery, she will accept my promise. Why doesn't it count now? No, no, my princess has already been decided, so I won't choose!"
The emperor frowned and shouted, "Sit down! I've just said the truth, don't mess around."
"But..."
Seeing that the emperor was displeased, the imperial concubine coughed lightly and said, "Be obedient."
Yang Shu was unwilling to do so and was pushed back by King An.
Xuan Fei over there said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late. How about we only draw twelve lots this time?"
The emperor was also a little impatient, nodded and said, "That's fine, the Imperial Master will take care of it!"
"Yes."
Xuan Fei ordered his disciples to collect the twelve lots and take them to the back hall.
After a while, the signature wrapped in two layers of red paper from beginning to end was returned. Now, no matter how you look at it, you can't see the mark on the signature.
Xuan Fei said, "Eunuch Wan, please come and take a look. Is there any mistake or omission in this way? Can't you recognize it like this?"
Wan Dabao looked at the emperor, and with his approval, he lifted the curtain and came out, inspected it, and nodded, "I can't recognize you."
"Okay."
This method is indeed fair and everyone has no objection.
Miss Xia, who proposed a redraw, was at the front of the queue. She was about to choose the lottery, but was stopped.
Ming Wei glanced at her coldly and stepped forward, "I'll smoke first."
With a few words of his own, the lot she drew did not count. Miss Xia felt a little guilty and did not dare to object. The other ladies who had objections were attracted by her momentum and placed their hopes in Xuanfei.
However, Xuanfei glanced at the screen and said nothing.
Mingwei was the first to stand in front of the red sign.
Her eyes lingered on the twelve red lottery tickets. She picked up one first, then put it down again, and repeated it several times before making up her mind.
After choosing the lot, she did not leave immediately. Instead, she said to Xuan Fei, "Master Imperial Master, I am choosing this lot. Do you see any problems? If not, you can no longer veto the result. ”
Xuan Fei said, "Eunuch Wan has already checked it."
Mingwei snorted and backed away with the red sign.
The other ladies stepped forward one after another and each chose a lottery.
After they made their choice and determined not to change it, Xuanfei said, "Young ladies, you can untie it."
The first one to untie it was Miss Xia.
The end of the sign is empty, not the phoenix sign.
She sighed in disappointment, resigned to her fate.
It seems that I really have no chance to win the Phoenix lottery. I chose one out of thirteen and still didn't win.
With a bit of nervousness and a bit of urgency, all the ladies tore open the red paper signed.
No, no, still no.
Have you all unlocked it? Where is the phoenix sign?
Suddenly I heard a soft exclamation in my ears, and someone whispered, "There!"
Everyone looked at what she pointed at and saw that the phoenix lottery was firmly held in one hand.
Look up that hand——
Miss Ming Qi.
The ladies were stunned.
It's still her.
Is this destiny?
Xuan Fei was also stunned for a moment and looked at the screen.
"Haha! Your Majesty, can you promise me now? I told you earlier that we are destined to be together. This is called destiny!"
The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at Wan Dabao.
Wan Dabao replied in a low voice, "I really didn't recognize him."
"Your Majesty?" Concubine Pei also looked at him expectantly.
In this lottery, the whole process was clearly visible, and there was really nothing to choose from.
The emperor sighed silently and nodded to Wan Dabao.
Wan Dabao raised his voice, "Congratulations to Miss Mingqi, for winning the phoenix lottery."
Yang Shu was the first to jump up "Haha!"
……
At noon, the ladies who won the first lot were sent out.
At the same time, the results were made public.
Chengenhou Mansion was anxiously waiting for the results, and was stunned when they heard the news from the servants.
"Is it Mingqi who won the lottery?"
"Yes."
Mrs. Chengenhou sat back blankly and waved her servant away.
After a while, she finally came to her senses, turned around and asked the old lady, "Mom, what should I do? Aying didn't win the Phoenix lottery, then..."
The old lady pinched the prayer beads on her wrist ~IndoMTL.com~ Her eyes were heavy, "If you don't win, you won't win. What else can you do? It's not like she can't get married!" After a pause, she added, "It's just that she didn't win. I'm just afraid of winning the lottery..."
The prince had taken care of everything, but he still failed to win the lottery, which made the old lady very uneasy.
The old lady was still thinking, and another servant rushed over there. "Old lady, madam! Third Miss, she, she..."
Mrs. Chengenhou stood up suddenly and almost knocked over the tea cup.
"What's wrong with Aying?"
The servant said anxiously, "Those ladies have all gone back. The younger one didn't see the third lady, so he went to ask..."
"How?"
"The third lady...was detained for cheating!"
"What?!"
Mrs. Chengenhou felt like the world was spinning and she could no longer stand still.
The Ji family quickly received the news.
Mrs. Ji was in disbelief: "That girl Xiaoqi, did you really win?"
"Yes, I really won!" Ms. Dong smiled, "I told you a long time ago, so you don't have to worry. Let's see, is everything fine?"
"Hey! How could I have imagined that she could win the lottery like this." Mrs. Ji smiled after thinking about it, "We have to prepare the dowry quickly when we go back, but we don't know how to prepare it."
Ji Ling said, "Mother, you don't have to worry about this. Royal marriages have their own rules, and the Ministry of Rites will send someone to inform you of these matters."
"Is that so?"
"No need to rush, we'll just wait."
After Ji Ling finished speaking, he turned around and saw Ji Xiaowu sitting there in a daze. He smiled and patted his head, "Isn't it a pity that my cousin will no longer be your fiancee?"
Ji Xiaowu snorted and turned his head, saying very harshly, "Not at all!"
