"Li Li!" Hearing the result, Mu Rong Ting called out with joy. Everyone else also looked at Ye Li with surprise. Ye Li bowed slightly to the person on stage before returning to her seat. Mu Rong Ting raised her hand to slap her and said with a smile, "You said you couldn't do it, but you hid your skills well." Ye Li gave a bitter smile, "It was just a trick." Hua Tian Xiang smiled and said, "No matter what, you should be happy. Li Li, congratulations. "Qin Zheng pursed her lips and nodded to her with a smile. Ye Li returned a smile.
Princess Xi Xia's expression changed when she heard Su Zhe's words. She didn't care about etiquette and walked over to the Sunshine Eldest Princess to look at Ye Li's painting. After a while, she raised her head and looked at Ye Li with a complicated expression, not saying anything. The Eldest Princess's maid brought the painting down for all the young ladies to look at. After all, because of Ye Li's work, the competition's ranking had changed, so everyone had to be convinced. The girl who had already won first place in poetry came from a scholarly family and was very reasonable. After seeing Ye Li's painting, she stood up and said with a smile, "Losing to Master Qing Yun's descendant is a glorious defeat." Her good upbringing and demeanor made people look at her even more highly. Mu Rong Ting received the painting and quickly opened it to share with her friends. Qin Zheng gave a sigh of praise, "Good poem. Falling to the last crimson, called the Hundred Flower King. Unparalleled beauty under the heavens, the world's number one fragrance. "
Hua Tian Xiang smiled and said, "The poem is good and the words are also good. Li Li, who did you learn to write from? I also want to be your disciple. "
Ye Li gave a faint smile, "When I was young, I received a letter from a teacher named Liu. After writing for so many years, I can finally read a bit. "In her previous life, she had learned the Liu style at the age of six. Including this life, it had been over twenty years. If she still couldn't read it, then it could only prove that she was stupid.
Qin Zheng was also someone who was obsessed with calligraphy and painting. She was extremely envious. "You're so lucky. Li 'er said that you have to send me an invitation later."
Ye Li nodded. "The original post is gone. Can I write it?"
"It's a deal. I'll be waiting for you. "
"Me too …" Hua Tianxiang and Murong Ting didn't want to be left behind. Ye Li promised to give each of them a portion.
"I also admit defeat!" Everyone else acknowledged the judge's conclusion. Even if Princess Xi Xia was unwilling, she could only grit her teeth and accept it. Zhao Yang Crown Princess looked at Princess Xi Xia's unwilling appearance and sighed. She pulled her in front of her and patted her to comfort her. Xi Xia had just arrived in Da Chu State, but she was still young and hot-blooded. She didn't know if this temperament was good or bad.
"Since that's the case, then … the champion of this year's Hundred Flower Festival will be the Third Young Miss of the Minister of Revenue's residence." Since no one had any objections, Old Master Su Zhe announced the final result of this year's competition on behalf of the judges.
Feng Zhiyao smiled like a spring breeze and added, "Of course, if there's anyone who isn't convinced, they can continue to challenge Third Young Miss Ye. I believe Third Young Miss Ye will be very happy to accept the challenge. Isn't that right? " Ye Li raised her head and happened to see Feng Zhiyao winking at her. Although he looked frivolous, she could feel that he didn't have any ill intentions.
The champion of this year's Hundred Flower Festival, Ye Li, under the urging of Qin Zheng and the others, slowly stepped onto the high platform. She personally received this year's prize from Princess Royal. The beauty pearl, purple jade hairpin, snow zither that all beautiful women dreamed of. Ye Li didn't feel guilty or guilty about winning the prize in a way that could almost be considered cheating. Of course, there was nothing to be proud of. Between losing face and cheating, of course she would choose the one that was more beneficial to her.
"Third Young Miss Ye, I didn't expect Minister Ye to have such an outstanding daughter." Princess Royal looked at the girl in green in front of her and looked at Ye Li with some disappointment. "I had some friendship with your mother in the past. If you have free time in the future, you might as well come to the Princess Royal Residence for a walk."
Ye Li respectfully smiled and said, "Thank you, Princess Royal. It's Ye Li's fortune to be invited by Princess Royal."
"Good child, go." Princess Royal sighed and said to Ye Li.
Ye Li bowed to the Eldest Princess, then turned to the judges and bowed slightly. Only then did she turn around and leave with the gift.
"What did you say?! Ye Li won Hundred Flower Festival?! "
Ye Residence, Ye Ying's Returning Snow Pavilion. Ye Ying's always gentle and elegant voice had an indescribable grating to it. In the elegantly decorated parlor, the servant girls kneeled on the ground and fearfully replied, "Replying … replying to Young Miss, that is indeed the rumor outside. Third Young Miss has already returned to the Residence. Also … the Imperial Censor Residence, Qin Family, Xu family, Hua Guo Residence, Yang Wei General's Residence, Prime Minister's Residence, and Minister of Rites' Residence all sent gifts to congratulate Third Young Miss on winning. " A crack finally appeared on Ye Ying's beautiful face. With a wave of her hand, she swept all the things on the table to the ground. The servant girl kneeling at the front didn't dare cry out in pain and quickly said, "Young Miss, please calm down …"
"Calm down what! Ye Li … how could that bitch Ye Li become Hundred Flower Festival's Champion? "Ye Ying shouted in disbelief. She pushed Ye Li out because she knew that her mother didn't specially hire anyone to teach her. She would definitely lose face against Princess Xi Xia who even she wasn't sure she could win. At that time, even if she didn't become Hundred Flower Festival's Champion this year, she would lose without a fight, so it wouldn't be shameful. More importantly, at that time, everyone would know that only she, Ye Ying, was the Ye family's most outstanding daughter. Even if Ye Li was the Xu family's granddaughter, she still couldn't compare to her!
Even though she was furious, Ye Ying quickly calmed down and recovered her usual elegance and gentleness. She stood up and said, "Get up, let's go see Mother."
The servant girls in the parlor secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Those who had to clean up the mess cleaned up, and those who had to follow Ye Ying hurriedly tidied up their appearance and followed Ye Ying to see Wang Shi.
Inside Rong Le Hall
Ye Li sat quietly, allowing Old Madame Ye, Minister Ye, and Wang Shi to size her up. Old Madame Ye looked at Ye Li with a loving smile and said, "Ye Li is indeed our Ye family's legitimate daughter. Now you're amazing. Our Ye family has produced two Hundred Flower Festival's Champions. In this capital, who doesn't praise us for teaching our daughter well. "Ye Li pursed her lips and smiled faintly," Grandmother is too kind. It's all because of grandmother and father's good teaching. "Minister Ye looked at his quiet and dignified daughter with a complicated expression. This daughter that he had never seriously paid attention to was completely different from the other daughters in the family. She looked unremarkable, but if you looked carefully, there was a kind of dignity and grace of a noble family. This made him think of the first time he saw his wife who had passed away. She was also so elegant and indifferent. She was so beautiful that it made people admire her, but at the same time, she was so elegant that it made people feel inferior. Even if she didn't grow up in the Xu family, even if she didn't have the best upbringing, could the bloodline of the Xu family still leave his other children in the dust? Minister Ye thought silently when he thought of his daughters' performances at the Hundred Flower Festival that he heard others mention. Then he thought of Ye Rong who was spoiled by his mother and Wang Shi. Minister Ye felt even more regretful. Why wasn't Ye Li a boy?
