Raising a concubine under her nose, the reborn mistress marries the prince

Mrs. Yun in the audience had a worried look on her face, and was worried about her daughter's marriage.

She kept looking at the stage, her eyes full of anxiety and anticipation.

At this time, Yun Ni on the stage was showing a landscape painting she had carefully drawn.

The painting was so magnificent and the brushwork so exquisite that it was an eye-opener.

This competition was unprecedented in grandeur, with even previous top scorers coming to serve as referees, showing its importance and influence.

Because this was the first time the palace held such a party, everyone wanted to leave an impression in the hearts of the emperor and empress.

As for the female members, the extremely noble Queen Mother personally served as the referee.

When the palace maid carefully presented Yun Ni's painting to the queen, the queen's attention was immediately attracted.

She looked closely and saw a dancing butterfly in the painting, which seemed like it would fly out of the picture at any time. It was so lifelike and amazing.

Seeing this, Princess Xiang couldn't help but move closer and asked softly, "Your Majesty, what kind of stunning masterpiece did you see? You are so fascinated by it."

Before the queen could answer, the lively Princess Qingning started to exclaim: "Wow, this butterfly seems to be coming alive. Is it really going to fly out of the painting?"

Jiang Chuwei smiled and nodded, agreeing: "This painting is of exquisite skill and profound artistic conception. In my opinion, it should win the first prize."

After hearing this, Princess Xiang repeatedly agreed: "You are right. If this painting is shown to everyone, I am afraid no one will have any objection to it."

So Jiang Chuwei announced loudly: "Ms. Yun's painting is the undisputed champion today!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a whisper was heard from the crowd.

Some noble ladies were unwilling to accept this and expressed their dissatisfaction.

After all, the talents that each person chooses to display are different. It is really unfair to easily conclude that Miss Yun defeated everyone present just because of the Queen's words.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the scene became a little weird.

Jiang Chuwei had a sharp eye and could easily see through the resentment and resentment deep in the hearts of some people. However, due to her noble status, these people did not dare to express their dissatisfaction openly even though they were dissatisfied.

At this moment, a loud shout was heard: "The Emperor has arrived!"

This voice was like a thunder, instantly breaking the silence in the room. When the ladies heard this shout, they all showed joy on their faces, and their excitement was beyond words.

The emperor they had been waiting for finally showed up.

However, it is regrettable that their competition had already ended and they missed the great opportunity to show their talents in front of the emperor, which undoubtedly made them feel extremely regretful and lost.

Lin Muheng hurriedly walked to Jiang Chuwei's side and said apologetically, "My queen has been waiting for a long time. I was busy with some things today, so I was delayed."

Jiang Chuwei smiled slightly and responded gently: "No problem! Your Majesty's timing of coming here is perfect, so you can enjoy the excellent works of the ladies."

As soon as she finished speaking, she handed the carefully painted scroll in her hand to the emperor.

Lin Muheng took the scroll, unfolded it gently, and examined it carefully. After a moment, he couldn't help but praise it: "Good painting! This painting has delicate brushstrokes, exquisite composition, and profound artistic conception. It is indeed a masterpiece!"

Following the emperor's praise, everyone's eyes turned to Yun Ni, their eyes full of envy.

You know, the emperor never even looked at the paintings of other noble ladies.

The Emperor has just arrived and he has already praised Yun Ni's work highly. How can others not be envious of such an honor?

I believe that from now on, the name of Yun Ni, this talented woman, will spread throughout the capital and beyond.

Lin Muheng seemed to be unsatisfied and asked, "What about the situation in the men's area?"

The eunuch beside him bowed and replied: "Your Majesty! The competition for the male guests has ended. In the end, it was Minister Song's youngest son who won the first place."

As expected, the Song family members performed well and never disappointed me! "

Lin Muheng said cheerfully with a smile on his face. Jiang Chuwei, who was standing beside him, also chuckled when she heard this: "As the saying goes, a good father will have a good son."

At this moment, seeing the hopeful looks in the eyes of the noble ladies, Jiang Chuwei had an idea, so she suggested to Lin Muheng: "Your Majesty, do you want to test them again?"

Her move was to give these women a chance to express themselves, but also to make them give up completely.

After all, in Jiang Chuwei's opinion, as long as these women started dancing, the emperor would definitely find an excuse to leave immediately.

However, to Jiang Chuwei's surprise, Lin Muheng stood up without hesitation and said loudly: "Forget it, I'd better go and see what the leader of the men's side looks like."

Having said that, he took a step forward and was about to leave.

Everyone was dumbfounded. They were so happy about the Queen's proposal just now, but they didn't expect that the Emperor would immediately pour a bucket of cold water on them.

At this moment, Princess Qingning saw this and hurried forward to stop him, saying coquettishly, "Brother Emperor, where are you going? The competition is over, what's there to see?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Muheng couldn't help but glare at Princess Qingning fiercely, secretly cursing in his heart that this girl was really so ignorant. Couldn't she see that this was a trap set by the Queen?

He deliberately came a little later today, simply because he didn't want to see these women competing for beauty here.

It's a pity that Qingning is so stupid and brainless!

If Jiang Chuwei could see through Lin Muheng's true thoughts deep in his heart, she would probably cry out for justice.

In fact, she had no such intention at all. Her original intention was just to make those women who wanted to enter the palace understand the difficulties and completely give up the idea.

As the saying goes, it is better to guide than to block. As long as they can see with their own eyes what kind of person the emperor is, they will naturally be discouraged.

Who could have expected that even the emperor himself would misunderstand her.

"Why doesn't Your Majesty take a look at these carefully crafted paintings?" Jiang Chuwei said softly.

After all, today, not only the ladies from famous families came, but also their mothers.

After all, even if the emperor didn't care about the face of these noble ladies, he should at least show some mercy to those ladies of noble status.

Lin Muheng nodded slightly, expressing his agreement, "That's great! Then submit all the paintings!"

Then, he began to examine these works one by one. Whether it was the exquisite painting techniques or the beautiful poems that went with them, he couldn't help but admire them and gave them extremely high praise.

In the end, after careful consideration, he came to the same conclusion as the Queen - he chose Yun Ni as the winner of this selection.
