Following Liu Xian's order, a group of eunuchs came in one after another.
Soon, everything was cleaned up and the mahjong and chips for the game were ready.
The game begins.
All participating concubines will be given 1,000 chips in advance.
As for the seating arrangement, it is also fair. It is just made by making paper balls. It is very simple. Put as many paper balls as there are people, without any duplication. 1234 sit at the same table, and so on.
It is called a paper ball, but how could such a wealthy family be so stingy as to actually use a paper ball?
The lottery box is made of pure gold, and the paper balls are made of jade plates with numbers exquisitely engraved on them.
Due to limited time, it couldn't be done too perfectly this time, but Xing Bang still reported the suggestion.
Liu Xian readily accepted the proposal, and said that next time he held a competition, he would prepare exquisite souvenirs in advance. Even the jade plaques used for the lottery would be carefully made, which could be kept as souvenirs or used as ornaments after the competition.
Of course, the number of concubines participating was known in advance. There were 39 concubines in total, and it was originally decided that the table with the last three numbers would be the ones to attend.
But now, including the Queen and Madam Yu, there are 41 people in total.
However, these are all small things, just add two jade tokens.
Liu Xian watched Xing Bang put the extra license plates in and couldn't help but nodded in praise. This little Korean guy was really thorough and forward-looking in his work.
He had forgotten about this when he proposed that Empress Xiao and Madam Yu should also attend. This was not something he had prepared in advance, so he didn't really need to add two paper balls in. However, that would still be embarrassing, not to mention unfair.
Now it’s ok, still perfect!
As long as we leave the matter to the little Koreans, I will be absolutely confident that nothing will go wrong.
Liu Xian became even more determined in his heart!
Xing Bang was ready and reported: "Your Majesty, we can officially begin."
Liu Xian nodded, and suddenly thought of something, and said: "Oh, little Korean, there are forty-one people now..."
"Then, whoever draws number 41 will advance directly to the next round."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Xing Bang naturally wouldn't have any objection, and neither would anyone. It was just adding a lucky player. Everyone had equal opportunities, and there was nothing unfair about it.
In this way, there are exactly ten tables at the beginning.
Immediately afterwards, the concubines began to draw number cards.
There is nothing special about drawing numbers, but now with the addition of a lucky item, it becomes a little interesting.
By the way, who doesn’t want to get number 41!
At this time, everyone focused on the lottery box, paying attention to whether the number was 41 after the draw.
However, more than ten concubines in a row failed to draw number 41.
Liu Hui kept staring and seemed more nervous than the people who were drawing the lottery. After all, he was only an eight-year-old child, and his playful innocence could not be erased.
What's more, Liu Xian has already shown that he can be free.
After seeing that he failed to draw two concubines, Liu Hui finally couldn't hold back his desire to try.
He whispered softly in Li Lizhi's ear: "Sister, I want to go up and have a try too!"
Li Lizhi frowned slightly, then whispered something in his ear...
Liu Hui's expression lit up, and he turned around and said loudly, "Father, this is like winning a lottery. I think it's very exciting. I want to go up and try it, even if I'm drawing for my mother..."
"OK!"
Liu Xian approved without hesitation.
"Thank you, Father!"
Liu Hui stood up happily. The little guy let himself go a little. When he walked to Madam Fanghua, he smiled and said, "Mother, look, I picked number 41 for you!"
Madam Fanghua smiled lovingly, "You child!"
Madam Yu also smiled and said, "Go quickly, maybe Hui'er will really win."
Liu Hui smiled playfully and walked towards the lottery box.
Afterwards, the nearby concubines also tactfully made way to let Liu Hui draw the lottery.
The boy was not polite at all and reached into the lottery box without saying a word.
Although the concubines also wanted to draw number 41, they just picked one at random out of face.
However, Liu Hui was different. She frowned slightly and looked serious, and she didn't take out her license plate for a long time.
Obviously, the hand was inside and stirring it.
Xing Bang smiled in his heart, this kid is really smart, and he can basically determine that there is a high probability that he will draw number 41.
It's a festive day, who would care about a child?
What's more, he is the prince, so you have to wait no matter how hesitant you are.
Then again, even if you give it openly, it doesn’t really matter. After all, it’s just a game. Just have fun!
The reason why Xing Bang guessed that Liu Hui had a high probability of drawing number 41 was that he thought that this clever guy must be picking and choosing, after all, the words on the jade plate were...
Moreover, half of the box had been taken out at this time.
But, this is also a skill!
Even if Liu Xianyi understood it, he would only praise his son for being smart.
What's more, Liu Hui didn't violate any rules, and there is no such rule.
So, this clever little guy knows how to find bugs!
Soon, Liu Hui's face showed a slight joy and she took out a number plate.
"Number 41?"
"Haha, I got it. I drew number 41."
Liu Hui was so happy when she saw the license plate clearly that she trotted over to Madam Fanghua.
Xing Bang noticed that Xiao Hou's face was full of relief, after all, she was also a mother.
Liu Hui's frankness in front of Madam Fanghua deeply touched her heart.
Liu Xian also looked over but didn't say anything. Tacit approval was a kind of affirmation, and he might even feel relieved in his heart.
Xing Bang naturally didn't care. After all, how could Liu Xian, an incompetent man, have any bad intentions?
Liu Hui returned to his natural innocence, but Madam Fanghua would not allow him to be too presumptuous. After taking the number plate, she said softly, "Okay, Prince, you better hurry back to your seat."
Liu Hui nodded and returned to her original position obediently.
Liu Xian might not think too much about it, but that doesn't mean others won't think too much about it...
Now, Madam Fanghua is always cautious and careful, except in front of Xing Bang, not wanting to be caught with any handle or excuse.
This can be seen from the fact that she called Liu Hui the crown prince. According to the rules, her current status means that she can only respect Liu Hui as the crown prince.
Liu Hui drew the best number plate, which is also the best result. The prince should be superior to others and have the best things!
Then, all the number plates were drawn.
Queen Xiao and Madam Yu also went over and took their seats for the competition to begin.
Madam Fanghua doesn't need to go on stage for the time being and remains sitting in her original position.
Soon, ten mahjong tables were being played at the same time, and the entire Wenhua Hall was filled with the sound of mahjong tiles clicking.
Dozens of extremely beautiful concubines...
Being a bystander is also a kind of happiness. This is a real feast for the eyes.
