Tragic death and rebirth, the daughter of a general poisoned the government and the country

Now if Lin Yushu wants to meet Lady Pingyang and Princess Ning'an, she must attend the Spring Banquet.

But according to the old lady's temperament, even if she wanted to find a good family for Lin Yushu to pave the way for Lin Minglang and Lin Qingrou, she would not let her attend the Spring Banquet of Pingyang Queen.

The number of invitations to the Spring Banquet is limited and will be sent anonymously.

Each mansion can get two or three invitations at most. The old lady and the second lady will definitely not give such precious invitations to Lin Yushu.

But the top of the list is different, as the top of the list will be invited individually.

Lin Yushu must fight for the top spot!

April 20th arrived in the blink of an eye, and early in the morning, the general's carriage was waiting at the gate.

Lin Qingrou was dressed extremely beautifully. The jade hairpin on the side of her bun sparkled, she wore a glass jade bracelet on her hand, a pair of red gold earrings inlaid with rubies on her ears, and a long skirt with purple and gold brocade. She seemed to be shrouded in gorgeous clouds, and she looked extremely noble.

Liu Mei was no less impressive, wearing a rose-red padded jacket over a peach-red brocade long skirt embroidered with peach blossoms. Her waist was tied with a milky white silk sash, which made her waist look slender and fit in one hand.

She wore a colorful gem hairpin with a long pearl string hanging from it, a gold flower ornament on her forehead, and her eyebrows and eyes were delicately drawn, making her look affectionate and charming.

Lin Fang on the side seemed much more reserved, wearing a proper plain silk dress, a pearl and jade hairpin, a pair of gilded earrings, and nothing else.

Lin Yushu was the last one to arrive at the gate of the mansion. When she walked up to the three people, Lin Qingrou, the other two, and several servants were stunned for a moment.

Lin Yushu, who was considered vulgar by everyone for wearing gold and silver, was wearing a plain white brocade long skirt with a water-red silk belt around her waist, making her waist even slimmer than Liu Mei's.

She wore a seven-treasure hairpin inlaid with gold and jasper on her head, and the glass jade earrings on her ears swayed with light. Her simple and exquisite outfit, coupled with her peerless beauty, made her whole body elegant and dignified, as if she was a fairy who had descended to earth.

Lin Yushu's extraordinary attire makes Lin Qingrou look vulgar, Liu Mei look frivolous, and Lin Fang look reserved.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yushu was dressed so dazzlingly. Lin Qingrou and Liu Mei's faces immediately darkened. Only Lin Fang smiled and saluted Lin Yushu.

"If I were you, I would dress more modestly, so as not to make a fool of myself and be remembered by others."

Liu Mei spoke in a haughty tone, raising her eyebrows and mockingly.

"Why do you sound so sour? Cousin Liu, are you jealous that my elder sister is prettier than you? I advise you to focus on getting the top spot, so as not to fail like last year."

Lin Qingrou has always been hostile to Liu Mei and never tried to hide it.

Liu Mei gritted her teeth in anger when she heard that. She had just entered Lingjiu Hall last year and had become a little famous in the hall with her soft and boneless colorful feather dance.

Unfortunately, I sprained my ankle before the quiz and missed out on the top spot.

Instead, Lin Qingrou won the first prize with a painting of peonies in full bloom.

She stole the show at the spring banquet in Pingyang City and from then on she was known as the most beautiful woman in the capital.

If Liu Mei had not lost the top spot, how could the hypocritical and shallow Lin Qingrou have gotten this title? Whenever Liu Mei thought of this, she felt filled with resentment.

"Well, whoever gets the top spot will bring honor to the General's Mansion. Don't start an argument with your sisters."

The second wife came from afar and heard the argument between Liu Mei and Lin Qingrou, and she was unhappy.

How could Liu Mei compare with her own daughter? She was so arrogant. She even dreamed of marrying into the royal family and competing for the position of queen. She could only wait to be stepped on by Rou'er.

The wheels turned round and round and soon arrived at Lingjiu Hall. Along the way, Lin Yushu closed her eyes and rested in the carriage, ignoring the eye contact between Lin Qingrou and Liu Mei beside her.

Lingjiu Hall was more lively than usual. Many students from the Imperial College and noble sons of officials came to watch the fun, and the entrance of Lingjiu Hall was surrounded by layers of crowds.

In the center of the main courtyard of Lingjiu Hall, there is a huge round platform ten feet high, and in front of the platform there is a row of sandalwood armchairs.

Standing on both sides of the round platform were the beautiful young ladies from official families who were taking part in the test today. They were dressed up beautifully and the whole courtyard was filled with fragrance.

After a while, Master Wei, Master Yang and other masters from Lingjiu Hall came and sat on the armchairs, leaving four seats in the middle empty.

"Huh? In previous years, at most people from Pingyang were invited to rate the score. This year, four seats are vacant. Did they invite four distinguished guests?"

"It would be great if Prince Jin could come!"

"Although the Prince of Jin is handsome, he is too cold. With your timidity, you wouldn't dare to look at him even if he came."

"You're dreaming. The Prince of Jin is in charge of the Imperial Guards and is very busy. He usually only sees His Majesty and important officials in the court. How could he come to watch the competition of a girl?"

Several students from the Imperial College sneaked into the Lingjiu Hall. At this moment, they were craning their necks to look around curiously. When they heard the girls around them talking about Nan Rongjing, they couldn't help but interrupt.

Every year, the Lingjiu Hall would open its doors wide for the Xiaoce ceremony, and would not deliberately stop the nobles who came to watch the fun.

It was Sun Miaomiao who mocked the young lady next to her for being "timid". She rolled her eyes at several students from the Imperial College.

They are just a few poor students. Even if they get into the top three, the heights they can reach in their lifetime cannot be compared with that of the Prince of Jin. Nan Rongjing is a royal relative!

Unfortunately, Nan Rongjing has always kept strangers away.

Once, there was a young lady from a minor official's family who was bewitched by him. She pretended to fall and threw herself into Nan Rongjing's arms. However, Nan Rongjing quickly stepped aside and the girl fell directly into the lake and almost drowned.

This did not stop the daughters of officials in the capital from throwing themselves at Nan Rongjing, but what happened next was like a basin of cold water poured over their heads, extinguishing the excitement of the girls.

Not long after, the father of the young lady who threw herself into his arms was found to be guilty of corruption and rape of women. He was arrested by the Yulin Guards and thrown into prison. He was sentenced to confiscation of his property and exile.

Since then, no one has dared to provoke this living devil.

Lin Yushu stood at the edge of the stage, quietly waiting for the test to begin.

The quiz is divided into two rounds, and each person can sign up for two subjects at most. Lin Yushu only signed up for painting and did not sign up for chess.

Her chess skills are much better than her painting skills, but she has only been in school for three months. For Lin Yushu, chess is more difficult than painting, and getting the top spot in chess skills may easily arouse suspicion.

She is not afraid of anyone causing trouble, but she would still like to avoid unnecessary trouble if possible.

Today is the first round of assessment. For the painting skills assessment, those who register will be randomly divided into ten groups. The first place from each group will be selected to participate in the final assessment on the second day.

Lin Qingrou and Lin Yushu were not assigned to the same group. Lin Yushu was happy for her, and Lin Qingrou was also happy for Lin Yushu.

The four seats remained empty until the end of the first round of assessment, and no one came to sit there.

"Don't you know? Oh, you're new this year. Those four seats will only come for the assessment tomorrow. The people invited are all nobles of extraordinary status."

Lin Yushu also asked someone and found out that in the past only one or two nobles came back every year, but Pingyang *** came every year, but for some reason there were four this year.

All the rich girls were like chickens with their blood pumped up, trying their best to compete for the top spot.

After all, this is a matter of competing for face in front of four nobles, and this year's top spot is of extremely high value!

Lin Yushu didn't think about anything else. It didn't matter to her who came. She only focused on the paper and ink in front of her.

"The painting skills test begins!"
