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

Lin Yushu's brushstrokes are light and her brushwork is smooth. In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a vivid picture of early spring appears on rice paper, which is in tune with the scene and neither outstanding nor wrong.

Sure enough, several teachers hesitated for a while between Lin Yushu's painting and another person's painting, but as Lin Yushu expected, she was still first and qualified to participate in the final assessment tomorrow.

Lin Qingrou's painting of a crabapple blossom sleeping in spring was vivid and gorgeous, as if the crabapple blossom had just woken up, with dewdrops on the petals about to fall, and its lazy blooming was endearing.

The teachers praised Lin Qingrou's painting highly and immediately gave her the first place. They all expressed approval in their voices, as if they had already regarded Lin Qingrou as the number one.

Lin Yushu was not surprised at all. The old lady and the second lady had spent a lot of money to cultivate Lin Qingrou since she was a child, and all the teachers who taught her to paint were famous artists.

Lin Yushu started learning seven or eight years before her death in her previous life. Fortunately, as the prince's consort, she still had some power, and the teachers she invited were all high-class teachers that the general's mansion could not afford. In addition, Lin Yushu had a very high level of comprehension, and after seven or eight years of hard study, she achieved this little success.

When Lin Yushu was studying, she was as eager as a student who studied hard in a cold classroom. She worked hard every night, hoping that her change could win Nan Huaishuo's love.

Therefore, it is not that Lin Yushu is arrogant. Lin Yushu's small achievements are a height that many ladies from wealthy families can never reach.

The first round of assessment is over, and Lin Yushu is selected for the final assessment tomorrow.

Except for Master Wei, everyone was shocked by the result.

"Whose family is she from? Why have I never seen her before?"

"She is the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion, Lin Yushu. She has only been here for three months."

"What? She is the daughter raised in the other courtyard of the general's mansion? I heard that she can't even read a few characters, but her painting skills are so outstanding?"

"I heard that she was accepted as a disciple by Master Wei. Master Wei is stubborn and old-fashioned, so he must have disciplined her a lot."

Lin Qingrou came down from the stage in a daze, and was about to accept the praise from other ladies. After all, it was like this every year, but she kept hearing people mention Lin Yushu.

"What's going on? Why is everyone suddenly talking about that idiot?"

Lin Qingrou's painting was completed last, so she didn't know yet that Lin Yushu had already entered the final review tomorrow.

"Of course it's because your stupid sister took first place in the group. Tomorrow you two sisters can compete for the top spot in painting skills."

Sun Miaomiao said this with a smile on her face. She had always been inferior to Lin Qingrou in everything, but Lin Qingrou's father was of a high official rank, so Sun Miaomiao had to please her against her will. Today, it was a rare opportunity for her to see Lin Qingrou suffer a setback, and Sun Miaomiao felt relaxed both physically and mentally at the moment.

What the hell is the most beautiful and talented woman in the capital, but she is on the same level as the stupid sister she has always despised, how ridiculous!

Sun Miaomiao was very proud in her heart, and couldn't help showing it on her face.

"What did you say?" How could Lin Yushu be able to enter tomorrow's assessment? How is it possible? She can't read a single word, and it's only been a few months, how could she have such a good result? !

Lin Qingrou stared in disbelief at Lin Yushu, who was calm and composed in the crowd. For the first time, she could not hide the jealousy in her eyes. Lin Yushu's appearance far surpassed hers. If she had more talents to show off, the title of the most beautiful woman in the capital would go to Lin Yushu!

No, Lin Qingrou must not let this happen! She worked hard to practice etiquette and painting skills, taking tonics every day, and dressing up, to have the reputation she has today, how could she give it up to others!

Lin Yushu felt a sharp gaze directed at her. She turned around and saw Lin Qingrou staring at her closely, with the unwillingness on her face still not gone.

Lin Yushu sneered in her heart. No matter how good Lin Qingrou was at disguising herself and forbearing, she was just a sixteen-year-old girl, and there would always be a time when she could no longer endure.

Lin Yushu has lived two lives and is now an old woman of nearly fifty years old. It is wishful thinking for Lin Qingrou to plot against her based on her current situation!

Completely unconcealed by Lin Qingrou's ill-concealed hatred, Lin Yushu walked leisurely to the seat at the back, sat down calmly to drink tea, and waited quietly for the next small test.

Next up was the most exciting dance and piano performance contest. Unlike poetry, chess and painting, which only displayed the final products, one could not see the process of the ladies demonstrating their skills.

Dance and piano can directly show the graceful grace of graceful ladies, attracting the attention of a large number of young men, so they have the largest number of participants every year.

The first thing that started was the piano performance, with clear and melodious piano sounds like pearls falling on a plate, one song after another echoed in Lingjiu Hall, and the lingering sound lingered for a long time.

In Lingjiu Hall, the sound of piano and cheers came one after another, making it very lively.

Lingjiu Hall is worthy of being the best girls' school in the Great Zhou. The daughters of officials in the capital are extremely good at various skills, and are not inferior to ordinary teachers at all. Lin Yushu was fascinated by the lectures and even the tea and snacks at hand became tasteless.

When Lin Fang came on stage, she plucked the strings of the zither with her jade fingers. The melodious sound showed that Lin Fang had mature skills, but the music was a bit too stable, without ups and downs. She only got second place in the group and missed the chance to compete for the top spot.

Even so, Lin Fang, who has always been introverted, sat in the corner with her head down, as quiet as usual, with a very low sense of presence.

But when Lin Yushu saw Lin Fang’s tightly clasped hands, she felt unwilling!

The Second Madam's jealous nature must have made her warn Lin Fang before the test. At least before Lin Qingrou got married, Lin Fang must not strive for the top spot and steal Lin Qingrou's limelight.

After the piano skills assessment, the next step is dancing skills.

More and more young men gathered in the audience, and there were even servants from high-ranking officials guarding the stage. It was thought that they were young men in the palace who were waiting to get married, and they came to inquire about the news. If there was a young lady with suitable family background and talent at this time, it would make for a good story.

Layers of colorful tulle like shadows are decorated around the round platform, floating in the wind like a fairyland. Further in, there are small and exquisite lanterns one after another, in red and gold, as dreamy as a life of luxury.

Dancing skills are the most gorgeously decorated of all the tests, and all the ladies waiting to be tested are dressed in extremely gorgeous costumes, some are enchanting and some are charming, which make everyone stare in amazement.

And Liu Mei is undoubtedly the most charming and coquettish one among them.

She had already taken off the padded jacket she had worn in the morning, leaving only the peach-red Shu brocade long skirt embroidered with peach blossoms. A milky white silk sash was loosely draped around her waist, and she wore only a milky white short shirt on her upper body, a thin layer that faintly revealed the aqua-red undershirt underneath.

It was early spring, and the weather was still cold, but Liu Mei showed her arms as white as lotus roots. Her shirt was extremely short, and her slender waist could be vaguely seen when she moved her hands and feet. Her neckline was loose, and when she danced, one could definitely see her round and petite shoulders, as well as a small snow-white peak.

This outfit alone attracted the attention of almost everyone in the audience. Many of the other ladies on the stage blushed and couldn't help but whisper that Liu Mei was a vixen.

Liu Mei held her head high and didn't care. She didn't want to dress like this, but the appearance of the prince disrupted her plan. If she didn't make a name for herself in the capital as quickly as possible and hook up with the second prince or the fifth prince, she would be sent to the East Palace as a bride for good fortune!

Liu Mei was smart. She knew that even though the old lady was her grandmother who loved her the most, she could never be compared with the future of the General's Mansion and Lin Minglang. If the prince really asked for her, she would be completely sent to hell and would never be able to turn over!

A hint of ruthlessness flashed across Liu Mei's charming eyes. She can only rely on herself to fight for her own destiny!
