Chapter 50 – Delicate and pretty young lady (1)
Translated by Hazel
“Emperor, who do you think has the highest odds? Is it…” The previous minister started talking again and gave people his granddaughter’s name.
“Your granddaughter is nice, but my daughter seems to have higher odds! My daughter is very good at playing the lyre, chess, calligraphy and painting…” Another minister said.
“What’s special about playing the lyre, chess, calligraphy and painting? Those are just ordinary skills. My daughter is different. She learned the essence of dancing!”
“So what? My granddaughter…”
That was how they started their debate in the court. Maybe this is the warm-up of the Incomparable Girl Talent Competition, an off-court game.
“Cough cough!” The Emperor coughed and interrupted their debates and said something to their surprise.
“Your daughters and granddaughters are very good. No wonder they are the talented girls of the country. If not for Ye Lang, I would choose from one of them. But this time, I bet on Zhen Xiao Yan!”
“Why? Under a fair competition, she won’t win.”
“You don’t have to worry about fairness. If I say it’s fair, then it is fair. Although you think it isn’t possible for her to win, it is hard to tell since Ye Lang already bet on her.” The Emperor knew they were still doubting about the fairness. He clarified again and made a promise.
“Why? Emperor, do you believe Ye Lang is capable to change the result, making Zheng Xiao Yan, a fatty and good for nothing girl, to beat those pretty girls under a fair condition?”
“No, I don’t believe so!” The Emperor shook his head, and Ye Cheng Tian seemed to agree with him. Because Zhen Xiao Yan’s conditions were so unbelievable, even God wouldn’t be able to help her, let alone a silly boy like Ye Lang.
“Then…” Before the ministers finished their discussion, the Emperor spoke in a serious and truthful tone.
“But, I believe in his luck!”
“…” Everyone was silent.
“You can certainly doubt his capability, but you can never doubt his luck! The goddess of luck has always favored him. So envious!” The Emperor spoke sincerely, and he really seemed to be a bit envious.
People had no words to say. They all had heard of Ye Lang’s luck, and he always encountered good things while he was trying to dissipate his family fortune.. Those good things were unattainable to others.
In fact, they didn’t know that besides with spending his family fortune, he also had good luck in other matters. For example, he never got hurt by accidents. Otherwise, with his confused way of walking, he might have been gotten injured many times.
Before, Tigress was taking care of him. But in the recent five years, for example, he would be walking alone and not see the pit ahead, but somehow mysteriously just walk barely walk over the edges of the pit. Sometimes, things fell from high above that were supposed to hit him, but they just fell behind or in front of him, or somewhere nearby. He would just look at them curiously and then leave…
The only explanation for that were the Emperor’s words: The goddess of luck favored him, and could not bear to let him be hurt even a bit!
