After the three yuan and the third, the ministers angered the ceremony and the music collapsed

Chapter 52 His Majesty has not yet issued an decree and has not recognized the status of champion

At night, Jiang Zhao had already been lying in his room all afternoon.

During this period, Si Mubai had been sitting in the pavilion opposite Jiang Zhao's room, and Wei Xiang had been practicing in the courtyard, running "Xuanjinjue" in his body over and over again.

He wants to adjust his state to the peak in order to cope with tomorrow's situation.

As for Jiuqi, she has been staring at Nanny Ding in the kitchen, making delicious food for Jiang Zhao.

And Jiang Zhao was lying on the bed, guessing that it was almost time for dinner, so he opened the door and went out.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Si Mubai sitting there. Jiang Zhao asked with some doubts, "Brother Mubai, why are you here?"

Seeing her coming out, Si Mubai stood up and said, "I'm a little worried about you."

"What do I have to worry about?" Jiang Zhao asked with a smile.

Tomorrow is just going to face the saint, not going to the execution ground, although it is said that going to the palace to face the saint may be the same as going to the execution ground.

After all, if the emperor is in a bad mood tomorrow and feels that he is deceiving the emperor, or those ministers in the court insist that he has broken the ancestral etiquette, then his own life will be in danger.

After Si Mubai watched and finished speaking, he didn't say anything more, and said, "Let's eat first, Jiuqi will be in the kitchen all afternoon today, and Nanny Ding will make something delicious for you, let's go eat quickly."

Jiang Zhao smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Then the two walked to the dining room side by side. On the way, Jiang Zhao saw that Wei Xiang was still practicing, and shouted, "Zhongqing, don't practice, let's eat first."

Hearing the voice, Wei Xiang looked over and saw that it was Jiang Zhao calling her again, immediately stopped practicing, walked forward, and went to the dining room with the two of them for dinner.

In the dining hall, Jiuqi and Nanny Ding set up a large table of food early on, inviting several people to eat.

"You are here, I am going to call you, hurry up and eat."

Nanny Ding went down to get the bowls and chopsticks.

Jiang Zhao walked over, and all the dishes on it were her favorite food.

"Jiuqi, thank you." Jiang Zhao smiled and said to Jiuqi.

Jiu Qi scratched his head, and said embarrassingly: "It's okay, as long as you like it, young master."

Jiang Zhao and the others sat down to eat. At the dinner table, Jiang Zhao proposed, "Brother Mu Bai, I'm going to stay at the inn tonight."

Although she knew that the emperor liked her very much and wanted to let herself promote the military merit system, but just in case.

In case the emperor is an old-fashioned person, she doesn't want to involve these friends.

"Master, I'll go out to live with you." Wei Xiang said immediately.

Si Mubai also immediately objected: "No, you are staying here tonight."

Jiu Qi also echoed: "Yes, young master, you can stay here tonight, we are not afraid of getting involved with you."

They all knew that Jiang Zhao proposed to move out now, so as not to implicate them.

They are not people who are afraid of getting involved, not to mention, the identity of his young master is not something that a dynasty can control.

Jiang Zhao looked at a few people, she didn't know how to answer them.

She probably guessed some of Si Mubai's identities. Although she was a little guilty, she was not worried that she would implicate Si Mubai and Jiuqi's master and servant.

What she was most worried about was Wei Xiang.

She worried that if she was sentenced tomorrow, Wei Xiang would go to save herself.

It was extremely difficult for them to escape from the hands of King Rui that day, let alone escape from the hands of the emperor.

A dynasty, a large number of troops and the headhunters of the county government cannot be escaped by their manpower.

King Rui was chasing them back then, it wasn't so bright at all, they were all chasing them secretly, as long as they went to places where there were many people, they wouldn't dare to chase them.

But once she ran away now, if the emperor offered her some more rewards, then the people of the entire dynasty would be her enemies.

It is easy to defend against one person, and it is also easy to defend against ten people, but what about a hundred people, a thousand people, or ten thousand people?

So Jiang Zhao can only enter the palace to face the saint tomorrow.

After eating, Jiang Zhao suggested: "Didn't we gamble a lot of money at the gambling booth when the list was announced today? Let's go and get back the money we won."

Today has been too depressing, and she wants to do something to make herself happy tonight.

The only thing that can make her happy now is to collect money.

What she wanted to do, Si Mubai naturally supported it, Jiu Qi even more so, as for Wei Xiang, let alone, Jiang Zhao would support whatever she wanted to do.

So after the group finished eating, they packed up and set off to collect the money.

On the way, Jiang Zhao seemed like he was going to collect money from a rent collector.

A few people came to the market where the list was released before, and the gambling stall was still there.

Jiang Zhao stepped forward and slapped the ticket on the gambling booth: "Shopkeeper, let's exchange the money."

The shopkeeper only glanced at the ticket and said, "I can't cash it."

"Why, this is a gambling ticket I just bought this morning, why can't I redeem it?" Jiang Zhao questioned.

The stall owner sneered: "You bought it this morning, which means that you have seen it today. This year's new champion is a woman."

"So what if it's a woman?" Jiang Zhao asked.

The stall owner said: "If it's a woman, then she won't be the champion, and your gambling tickets will be useless."

"Anyway, if the emperor hasn't issued an order to abolish Jiang Zhao's status as the champion of the new department, then she is still the champion, and you have to redeem this ticket for us."

Jiang Zhao argued hard, but the emperor hadn't issued a decree, and this group of people would not recognize her as the champion of the new discipline.

Of course, the most important thing is that they don't give money, which makes people very angry.

"Not tomorrow." The stall owner shook his head and said.

Jiang Zhao was angry: "We will talk about tomorrow's matter tomorrow. Today Jiang Zhao is still the champion of the new division. This bet is still useful, and you have to cash it for us."

The stall owner looked at Jiang Zhao as if he was a fool: "I said you son, why are you so brainless, today is tomorrow and not tomorrow."

"Maybe the head of the new top scorer will be beheaded tomorrow, what to exchange, go, go, go... just go."

"Then what if the head of the new top scholar is not beheaded tomorrow?" Jiang Zhao asked.

The stall owner naturally didn't believe it: "How is it possible, it's immoral for a woman to disguise herself as a man."

"Still participating in the imperial examinations to bully the emperor, it would be considered light if the emperor did not punish her nine clans."

Jiang Zhao nodded, did not speak, stood still and thought for a moment, and saw another option on the gambling booth.

She pointed to the option and said, "Boss, I bet on this."

With that said, he handed over all the money on his body.

The stall owner took a look at her, took the money, and thought that this young man is so beautiful, why is there something wrong with his mind.

What Jiang Zhao gambled was that not only would the new top scholar not be beheaded tomorrow, but he would also be able to become an official in the court.

The odds of this option are [-] to [-], but besides Jiang Zhao, there is no one betting on it. After all, everyone's brains are good.

But if someone offered him money, he couldn't refuse. He accepted the money and handed the ticket to Jiang Zhao.

Jiang Zhao, who got the ticket, said, "Shopkeeper, if tomorrow's new champion is fine, but can still enter the court as an official, then you should also cash in this morning's ticket for me."

The stall owner didn't think that Jiang Zhao would be safe and sound tomorrow, so he nodded and said, "That's natural, that's natural."
