Chapter 18 Got the First Place?

Fourth place was the painting of Dunhuang Flying Immortal of Princess Wu You, who was the youngest daughter of King An.

King An had three sons and one daughter. When he was forty, he had his youngest daughter. She was very spoiled in daily life. "That's right. I've only heard that the princess loves riding and shooting and doesn't like embroidery very much. How could she suddenly have such magical embroidery skills?"

Everyone thought about it, but Princess Wu You did not care about other people's opinions. This was upon the Empress' evaluation. With the embroidery she handed in and her family background, she only ranked fourth. She wanted to see whose work ranked in the top three!

Aunt Ming did not let her down. She quickly announced the third place, which was Feng Feiyun, the legitimate daughter of Prime Minister Zuo.

Coincidentally, her embroidery was also a picture of the Seven Fairies' Birthday Celebration! Putting it together with Royal Princess Wu You's work, everyone wanted to go up and take a closer look at the difference between the works ranking third and fourth.

On the other hand, Feng Feiyun wasn't complacent at all. She was just like her father and she never showed her emotions on her face.

At this moment, she nodded gently at the noble ladies. She was not as angry as Princess Wu You and Song Yuanzhu because they did not win the first place, nor was she like the other noble ladies who were smiling happily when they were selected for the selection, showing the demeanor of a noble lady.

"The picture of Dunhuang Flying Immortal of Princess Wu You was embroidered with colorful gold threads, which made the picture charming and moving. Even the crown and the lotus seat were decorated with tiny pieces of red agates and pearls. It was really magnificent," Ge Zhang, who obviously knew this very well, covered her mouth and whispered to Qingyu.

Qingyu nodded in agreement. There were indeed many hidden talents amongst the noble ladies in the Capital. The top ten were all skilled and ingenious. In her previous life, Song Yuanzhu had relied on her to act so arrogantly. No wonder Song Yuanzhu had been abandoned in the end.

"If it weren't for the fact that the work of Princess Wu You looked a little tacky when compared to the Seven Immortals' Birthday Painting, her ranking would probably be even higher."

Not as plain and elegant as Princess Wu You's work's , the embroidered pattern of Feng Feiyun was expressing a trace of immortal spirit. In particular, the figures of the seven fairies were outlined with fine silver shining satin, which made the spectators feel as if they were in the Ninth Heaven Cloud Palace. Even the air they breathed in was full of immortal energy.

Princess Wu You clearly understood why she had missed her target. Her eyes were like hooks when she glared at Feng Feiyun.

["This b*tch pretends to be an immortal from outer space all day long, but in fact, she also wants to win."] [One day, I would tear apart her pretentious face and see if she still dared to compete with me for the Crown Prince!]

At this time, Aunt Ming had announced that the second place was the painting of Spring River and Moon Night embroidered by Ge Zhang!

Everyone looked at Ge Zhang in surprise. Qingyu also congratulated her in a low voice. Her embroidery was extremely plain. The black thread and white silk relieved against each other. It was like an ink painting. There were a few slanted night plum blossoms. The river water seemed not to be dead, but was flowing with light. The cold moon above was also light black. With her affectionate and gentle embroidery, her work was romantic, graceful, and unique.

Compared with the two Paintings of Flying Immortals, the one Ge Zhang made was full of mountains and rivers in the world, which made people full of ambition. People didn't expect Ge Zhang, who had always been a nerd, to be so talented.

However, Ge Zhang was not complacent but looked at Qingyu worriedly. Nine of the ten embroidery had been announced, except for Qingyu‘s. It seemed that Qingyu would return in failure in this competition.

Qingyu could tell what Ge Zhang was thinking from the look in her eyes. Qingyu immediately smiled confidently, like a blooming apricot in spring, which was indescribably beautiful.

"Number one, it's the Sunset Glow Painting of the Capital made by the First Miss of Minister's Manor of the Ministry of Revenue, Song Qingyu!" Even though the previous announcement was shocking enough, everyone couldn't help exclaiming when they heard that Qingyu had won the first place.
