Chapter 53 Who is the Leader?
Just as the atmosphere between the two was at a stalemate, the nanny beside the old lady spoke up, "Princess, the old lady has just ordered someone to verify that Miss Lin did use sumac to dye the mesh."

"This is not within the scope of the rules, and Ms. Lin has not violated any regulations."

No one questioned what she said because everyone knew that this represented what the old lady meant.

Princess Pingning's heart sank to the bottom, but she still had a glimmer of hope. Before the last moment, no one knew who the winner would be.

However, this scene was really not a good look.

Miss Hua's eyes flickered between Lin Zhiqing and Princess Pingning, and finally she chose to ask about the ready-made clothes:

"Miss Lin, why is this... this garment so unique?"

It's no wonder she was curious. The mesh looked really nice after being dyed, and it gave off a fluttering and solemn feel when worn over the inner skirt.

Unlike the ruqun, although this mesh gauze is cheap, the garments made from it do not seem suitable for everyday wear. Instead, they are suitable for attending banquets or other important occasions.

Lin Zhiqing smoothed the wrinkles on the mesh and said, "Miss Hua, this dress is called a wedding dress. It can be worn at weddings, and it can also be worn on ordinary days for important occasions."

"I once heard some interesting stories from my mother, and I modified this wedding dress based on the pictures she described in my memory."

"It seems that the effect is quite good."

More than good!
Everyone present praised it highly.

"This wedding dress has bold colors, simple materials, and a very precise sewing technique that I have never seen before."

"Who said Miss Lin is stupid? I'll be the first to disagree. How could someone who can come up with such ready-made clothes be stupid?"

"But can I really wear this kind of clothes outside? It looks awkward to me."

The few words of "awkwardness" were quickly drowned out by the praise from the crowd.

Seeing this, Lin Shian, who was extremely nervous, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He admitted that he was heartbroken when he first saw the "wedding dress" that was not yet fully put together.

He had never seen ready-made clothes made of mesh, so he was always nervous.

But I didn’t expect the finished product to be so amazing.

To put it simply, Lin Zhiqing made the mesh look so unaffordable.

Lin Shian asked himself honestly that he couldn't do it.

"Lin Zhiqing, you did a great job." Before leaving the stage, he praised dryly and quickened his pace.

When Lin Zhiqing heard this, he was slightly stunned, and then smiled.

But the smile didn't reach his eyes.

She knew very well that Lin Shian was so kind to her because she performed well.

If he had brought shame to the Lin family, his attitude today would definitely have changed 180 degrees.

Fortunately, I had a trick up my sleeve and didn't take out the wedding dress first. The first piece of clothing I made was an unusual item, which would definitely be difficult for everyone to accept.

Lin Zhiqing put aside all distractions and only thought about one thing, which was the position of the leader.

There were still two people behind her who had not yet performed. She touched her skirt and slowly walked out.

Jiang Liuyun's gaze followed the overly thin figure, and he himself did not even notice the smile in his eyes.

Lu Huai glanced at him, turned and walked out of the crowd.

"Where are you going?" Jiang Liuyun reacted.

Lu Huai shrugged: "The winner has been decided, there is no need to waste any more time."

After he finished speaking, he left the garden without looking back. His words were not without reason. Under Lin Zhiqing's perfect performance, the clothes made by the last two people were somewhat mediocre.

By the time everyone finished their race, the atmosphere in the garden had changed significantly.

Looking at the yard full of flowers, the old lady felt much more relaxed.

She discussed it in low voices with the people around her. Just as she picked up her teacup, Miss Hua couldn't help but come over and urge her:
"Grandma, just tell me, who won the championship?"

"Is it Miss Lin or the Princess? Or is it Prince Jiang or Master Lu?"

The old lady took a sip of tea and gently slapped Miss Hua's hand: "You naughty monkey, waiting for a while won't make you lose a single layer of skin!"

The two of them sang in unison and made a few jokes before getting to the point.

"This year's spring banquet is even more exciting than previous years. Our Shengjing City has produced many wonderful people. Let's present today's prizes." The old lady waved her hand, and someone immediately came up with a tray.

When the red cloth covering the tray was lifted, the filigree ruby-wrapped branch headpiece suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

Princess Pingning stared at the ruby ​​headpiece, her eyes full of desire.

She had many headpieces, but none of them were the ones she won at the Spring Banquet.

Many years ago, her elder sister won the first prize, which raised her chances and enabled her to enter the palace as a concubine.

Now, she just wants to win the first place and have a good discussion with her father about her marriage with Jiang Liuyun.

It is precisely because he has Lin Zhiqing as his fiancée that Princess Pingning needs this bargaining chip.

Thinking of this, she looked at Lin Zhiqing with deep hostility in her eyes.

Lin Zhiqing had no intention of paying attention to Princess Pingning at all. All her attention was on her head.

Even though she was not interested in jewelry, she thought the ruby ​​headpiece was really beautiful.

At a glance, she could tell that the material of the gem was not ordinary. The entire headpiece was made from a single piece of raw stone, and the carving was extremely delicate.

Even if it were placed in her original world, such workmanship would be extremely rare.

Moreover, if I can get this set of headgear, I can get the old lady's support to open a psychology clinic and make money.

Lin Zhiqing was happy from the bottom of his heart when he thought that he was much closer to his goal.

The prize has been announced, and everyone can't help but start speculating who will win the championship.

"It must be Princess Pingning. Did you see it? That moon-shadow veil is so flowing, it makes the princess look like a fairy from heaven."

"I think Lin Zhiqing's skirt is better looking. The red color is festive and elegant. It's much better than that sick Xishi who falls down at the slightest push."

"What kind of taste do you have? Don't you think that the suits worn by Prince Jiang and Master Lu are better? That cat slave is so lifelike."

"I support Princess Pingning. Her sister won the championship before, so she will definitely not be far behind."

……

Hearing that there were more people supporting her, Princess Pingning smiled provocatively at Lin Zhiqing.

He was just the descendant of a criminal, yet he dared to compete with her. He was overestimating himself...

Princess Pingning turned her gaze to the old lady's face, hoping to hear her name from her mouth.

How could the old lady not feel the nervous and eager gazes? She checked with the others with her eyes before speaking under the watchful eyes of everyone:

"This Spring Banquet was truly wonderful and truly opened my eyes. Since you don't want to hear any unnecessary nonsense, I, an old woman, will just speak frankly."

"The winner of this Spring Banquet should be——"
