The general's eldest daughter has a spatial ability
Chapter 771 Anonymous Voting
Looking at the painting and the poem, Chu Lingtian couldn't help but feel that these two were doing it on purpose. Weren't they trying to pierce his heart? Knowing he couldn't go back, they still gave him a poem like "Quiet Night Thoughts."
But seeing everyone present praising the poem, he could only swallow his anger.
"What a wonderful painting! The painting is exquisite and the artistic conception is profound! The poem is also excellent! What a beautiful line: 'I look up at the bright moon, then lower my head and think of my hometown!' I imagine that travelers far from home, without family by their side, can better understand the meaning of these two lines! I really like this painting!"
After Chu Lingtian finished speaking, he instructed Zuo Lu, "Keep this painting safe and secure!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zuo Lu stepped forward and carefully rolled up the dried painting.
"Damn it! Those two bitches have stolen the show again." Bai Yunxia clenched her right hand so tightly that her nails almost dug into her palm!
Prime Minister Lin and Chen Ting sat facing each other. Chen Ting raised his teacup and nodded to Prime Minister Lin. Prime Minister Lin also smiled and raised his teacup. In each other's eyes, they both believed that the title of Flower Goddess this time belonged to their Lin family.
Lin Miao stood behind the Imperial Preceptor, looking at Nangong Li and Li Liuyun with a smile on her face. These two sisters had brought her so many surprises. She hadn't expected that they were not only talented and beautiful.
Moreover, their manners and etiquette were impeccable, as if they came from a prestigious family, which made her wonder if these two people were really from the countryside.
Chen Ting turned his head and saw them staring at the two of them: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with those two?"
Lin Miao then came to her senses: "No, I just didn't expect these two sisters to be so outstanding, both beautiful and talented! Father has really struck gold this time!"
"Weren't these two the ones you recommended to your father?" Chen Ting picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea.
Lin Miao shook her head: "That's not the case! Yesterday, on my way back, the carriage suddenly malfunctioned, and Xiaodie and I were injured. Just then, Father sent guards to pick us up, but none of them brought a carriage. Xiaodie had to support me while we waited for the guards to return to the city to catch the carriage."
The two women had come to seek refuge with their second uncle, but he had drowned a few days earlier. Because of their outstanding looks, they were framed and then chased by bad guys!
The guards who brought them to visit relatives were in a panic and drove the carriage up the mountain, where they happened to run into us! I saw through the old woman's wicked scheme and saved them. To thank me, they escorted me down the mountain.
By the way, that younger sister also knew a little about medicine. When the carriage overturned, I was hit hard on the head and felt dizzy, nauseous and wanted to vomit. Fanghua gave me a pill, saying that it was given to her by her master. After taking it, my headache and dizziness were relieved.
After they escorted me home, I thought that the government had not yet closed the case and might summon the two sisters, so I thought I would take them in and let them stay in my house for a few days!
Unexpectedly, my father, longing for his daughter, waited for me at the door upon hearing that I had returned home injured! By sheer coincidence, I met Fangfei and Fanghua, the two sisters!
It was Father who suggested that she and her sister represent our Prime Minister's family in the competition for the Flower Goddess. If you don't believe me, you can always ask Father!
After Lin Miao finished speaking, she lowered her head and stopped talking. Seeing this, Chen Ting took Lin Miao's hand and held it in his: "I didn't say I didn't believe you. If you say it again, why make such a fuss over such a small matter!"
These two becoming members of the Prime Minister's household is entirely beneficial to us, so why not? The only question is whether they'll obediently follow orders and become pawns of the Prime Minister's household!
Lin Miao looked up at Chen Ting and said, "Father promised the two of them that he would take them in as goddaughters after the flower goddess competition for our Prime Minister's Mansion, and would arrange a marriage for them and give them a generous dowry!"
Chen Ting nodded: "What's so difficult about that? With their looks, their impressive talents, and their status as adopted daughters of the Prime Minister's family, after this palace selection, they'll be able to choose from powerful families, nobles, and aristocrats!"
Lin Miao smiled and nodded: "You're right, but I'd appreciate it if you could help them choose a suitable meal. After all, they saved my life, and I will always remember their kindness."
"Sure!" Chen Ting said, releasing Lin Miao's hand.
At this moment, all the participating women in the main hall had finished their performances. Chu Lingtian looked at the Minister of Rites and said, "Please, all ministers and officials, vote. By the way, please also count the two votes for Lady Liu and Headmaster Mo. The one with the most votes will be elected as this year's Flower Goddess. In addition, each of the goddesses selected in this palace selection will be awarded 200 taels of silver and two bolts of brocade!"
As soon as Chu Lingtian finished speaking, the Minister of Rites stepped forward: "Gentlemen, the goddesses who are participating in the selection have finished their performances. Now, please vote for the goddesses who have performed their talents!"
Furthermore, the voting results were conducted anonymously, as Your Majesty stated, meaning that everyone wrote down the names of those who were the most beautiful and talented in their minds.
Here is a box. Once you've written your answers, please put them directly into this box. Before you vote, please, ladies, introduce yourselves to the officials!
This voting method was Chu Lingtian's idea. Bai Yunxia's lips curled up when she heard about anonymous voting. She was the niece of Consort Bai and the daughter of the Duke's mansion. Surely some people present, eager to curry favor with them, would vote for her!
Li Liuyun had been keeping a close eye on Bai Yunxia's every move. This woman dared to poison her zither; she needed a good opportunity to teach her a lesson!
When Li Liuyun saw the pleased expression on Bai Yunxia's face after hearing about anonymous voting, he chuckled inwardly. Was this person stupid? Did she really think that anonymous voting would make people vote for her?
Chu Lingtian proposed anonymous voting because he was afraid that the people present would be afraid of offending Consort Bai and the Duke's Mansion, and therefore dared not vote for others. That's why he made it an anonymous vote.
I don't know what this woman is thinking, what's she so happy about? She'll be crying when the voting results come out!
After the judges had prepared paper and pens, they waited for the goddesses present to introduce themselves.
A woman performing a dance slowly stepped forward, bowed to the crowd, and said with a smile, "My daughter, Hime Kiyoyu, is participating in the election on behalf of the Hime family!"
"My daughter, Luo Nianxi, is running for election on behalf of the Luo family!"
"My daughter, Feng Jinxiu, is here to represent the Feng family in the election!"
When it was Bai Yunxia's turn, she stepped forward with a smile and said, "Greetings, esteemed gentlemen. I am Bai Yunxia, the niece of Consort Bai and the legitimate daughter of the Duke's mansion! I am representing the Duke's mansion in this selection."
Sure enough, after Bai Yunxia finished her self-introduction, the expressions of everyone present changed! Wasn't this Miss Bai blatantly using the Bai Guifei Duke's Mansion to intimidate them?
