"Then who do you favor now, Your Majesty? Is it..." The minister from before spoke again and gave the name of his granddaughter.
"Although your granddaughter is good, my daughter has a better chance of winning! My daughter is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting..." Another minister spoke.
"The arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting are nothing compared to the ordinary ones. My daughter is different. She once studied under the Queen of Dance. Her dancing skills can be said to have inherited the essence of the Queen of Dance!"
"Is it a big deal to be able to dance? My granddaughter..."
In this way, they welcomed the first debate in the court today. This might be the first competition among the unparalleled talented women, an off-court competition.
"Ahem!!" The emperor coughed, interrupting their "competition" and then said something that surprised them -
"Your daughters and granddaughters are all very good, worthy of being the talented women of the empire. If it were any other time, I would definitely choose one of you, but this time, I will still choose Zhen Xiaoyan!"
"Why? If it's fair, she won't win anyway."
"You don't need to worry about fairness. If I say it's fair, then it's fair. Even though you think it's impossible, since Ye Lang has defeated Zhen Xiaoyan, the outcome is hard to predict." The emperor knew that they still had doubts about fairness, so he clarified and guaranteed it once again.
"Why? Your Majesty, do you believe that Ye Lang has the ability to change the outcome, allowing Zhen Xiaoyan, a fat, useless girl, to win over so many beautiful and lovely girls under absolutely impossible fair circumstances?"
"No, I don't believe he has this ability!" The emperor immediately shook his head, and Ye Chengtian on the side seemed to agree with this, simply because Zhen Xiaoyan's conditions were too incredible, even God could not change them, let alone Ye Lang, the always confused little fool.
"Then..." Before the ministers could finish their words, the emperor said something incredible in a very sacred and serious manner.
"But, I believe in his luck!"
“…”Everyone was silent.
"You can question his ability, but you can never question his luck! The goddess of luck has always loved him, which is really jealous!" The emperor said with deep emotion, as if he was really a little jealous.
“…”
At this point, no one was able to say anything. They had all heard a little bit about Ye Lang's miraculous luck. Even though he was a spendthrift, he would often encounter good things in the end, and these were good things that others could not ask for.
In fact, many of them don't know that Ye Lang's luck is not only in the aspect of spending money, but can also be reflected in some things in life. It can be seen from the fact that he has never been injured due to accidents. Otherwise, judging from his somewhat confused way of walking, who knows how many times he has been injured.
In the past, Hu Niu hadn't looked strange, but in the past five years, when he walked alone, sometimes there was a pothole in front of him, and he didn't see it, but miraculously stepped on the edge to walk over it. Sometimes, when he was walking on the street, something fell from a high place and could clearly hit him, but for some strange reason, it either fell in front of him or behind him, anyway, always at the side. He always looked at it curiously afterward and then walked away...
In this situation, I can only borrow the emperor's words: the goddess of luck loves him too much and can't bear to hurt him even a little bit!
"But he is not so lucky every time. Most of the time he really squanders money. How can you be sure that he will succeed this time?" Some people also questioned it, and this statement is also true. Otherwise, if he wants to buy something, others will rush to buy it.
"It's not success, it's failure! His purpose is to ruin the family!" Ye Chengtian corrected him, and added, "We originally just made a small bet. The win or loss depends on fate!"
"Well, the purpose of his bet is to make something that was originally impossible become possible, but this does not mean that it will definitely happen, so if you want to bet with us, be prepared to lose money!" said the emperor with a smile.
Although the emperor explained the risks involved, and everyone understood this and was not optimistic about Zhen Xiaoyan, many people placed their bets on Zhen Xiaoyan, making the originally extremely unpopular Zhen Xiaoyan begin to become a little popular.
The reason is very simple. The emperor placed a bet, and these people placed a little more bets to show their favor to the emperor. This can be said to be a social expense rather than a bet.
But this topic is not actually the focus of everyone's attention or discussion. The focus is still on Ye Lang, where he is, what he is going to do, and how he will deal with this competition.
At the beginning, many people were expecting Ye Lang to do something stupid, no, something crazy. They wanted to see this kind of madness and thought that this was exciting.
Many people believed that Ye Lang's method of letting Zhen Xiaoyan win was to destroy these opponents one by one. This was also the only possibility. Given her own conditions, no matter how hard she tried to change, Zhen Xiaoyan would not be able to break out of her cocoon and be reborn as a phoenix in a short period of time.
If there were a few months, it might be possible, but the possibility is very small. Now there are only about twenty days. Unless it is a god, it is almost impossible for ordinary people to do it.
However, everyone was disappointed in the end. Ye Lang did not make any move until the very end, and everything was calm!
Could it be that this is just the calm before the storm?
Those frightened talented women and their families were still not at ease. How could they relax until the last moment? Because of this, when the competition started, the whole scene felt like a war. Groups of fully armed guards, mercenaries and city guards made the scene very tense!
"What's going on? Have we come to the wrong place? Is this the Talented Women Competition or the Magic and Martial Arts Competition?" asked some spectators who did not know the truth.
"No, you've come to the right place. This is the preliminary round for the most talented women!" someone answered.
"Then why..."
"You're wondering why there's such a scene, right? Because someone is threatening the safety of these talented women, so many people are nervously protecting them."
"What?! There is actually someone who wants to bring bad luck to these talented women. Who is it? Tell me, I will kill him!!" A person said arrogantly, and he seemed to be a big shot.
He believed that if he said this, he would get everyone's support. After all, everyone came here for the talented women, and no one would be happy about what happened to them.
However, he was wrong, extremely wrong. Instead of gaining everyone's support, he received sneers and contempt from some people!

I'm sorry, brothers and sisters, if there are chapter titles that have not been deleted in the article, please help correct them. When Xiaoxiao was organizing the manuscript, he sometimes carelessly did not delete the chapter titles of the physical book.
Also, this is already the content of the second volume of the physical book, and it’s almost the third volume, but Xiaoxiao is too lazy to divide it into volumes and will always quote the first volume...
Thank you for your support. It's cold, so please wear more clothes...
