Chapter 160 Preparing for the Competition
Su Yueyao woke up slowly and wanted to sit up with sleepy eyes. She rubbed her eyes and found Lu Yuanyi sitting next to her, reading a book quietly.
The sunlight from outside shines in through the window, bringing a touch of warmth and brightness to the room.
"My dear wife, you are awake. Do you want some water?" Lu Yuanyi asked as his first reaction when he found Su Yueyao woke up.
"What time is it now?"
"It's been a while since the Si hour, and it's almost noon."
"It's so late, and I still need to practice calligraphy and play the piano!" Su Yueyao said as she wanted to get out of bed.
Lu Yuanyi immediately hugged Su Yueyao who had hurriedly gotten out of bed and said, "My dear wife, take a rest today. The wound on your hand from playing the piano has not healed yet."
"I...."
Lu Yuanyi looked at Su Yueyao's pale face and tired expression, and his heart ached. He knew that she had put in a lot of effort for this competition, but now seeing her working so hard, he really couldn't help it.
He gently stroked Su Yueyao's cheek and said softly: "My dear wife, we will feel bad if you are like this. In fact, you don't have to work so hard. You have to believe in your own strength."
Su Yueyao raised her head and looked into Lu Yuanyi's firm and warm gaze, feeling a warm current in her heart.
She knew that Lu Yuanyi and the others had always been her most supportive people, and they always gave her help and encouragement when she needed it most.
"Yuan Yi, I'm just afraid that I won't perform well that day. If I pass the evaluation of the Literary Hall with my own efforts this time, firstly, I can protect Qian Qian's position as the master, and secondly, my strength will be greatly improved. For a female painter who can pass the evaluation of the Literary Hall, those who want to do bad things will have to think twice."
"Even if His Majesty grants me a marriage later, no matter who the marriage partner is, I have the right to treat them as I please without being influenced by the family behind them." Su Yueyao said in a firm tone.
"My dear wife, you have done very well. As a woman, you shouldn't work so hard. As long as you give the score to the musician at the Literary Museum, the music will definitely pass. As for the other categories, we have already said that there will be no problem. So, don't worry too much."
"My dear wife, you treat us like this. We don't deserve it." Lu Yuanyi said while hugging Su Yueyao tightly.
"You all deserve it, you deserve it." Su Yueyao looked at Lu Yuanyi with a smile.
She could feel the sincerity and love of Lu Yuanyi and the others, the kind of people who only wanted her to be well. She cherished such feelings, and she also wanted to repay them.
In her opinion, any relationship must be mutual, so that it can last a long time.
Finally, Su Yueyao got up, had a meal, and started another day of study, but it was obvious that her condition was much better and she looked much more relaxed.
In a blink of an eye, it was the day of the evaluation of the Writers' Hall.
Early in the morning, after breakfast, everyone got on a carriage and went to the House of Scholars.
The Literary Hall was built at the foot of a mountain east of Fengdu. Those living on the east side were all the big aristocratic families of Fengdu, such as the residence of Prime Minister Li, the mother's family of the Queen, the residence of the General and Duke, and the Yang Mansion. Almost all the officials of the third rank and above in Kyoto had their residences here.
When Su Yueyao and the others arrived, the foot of the mountain was full of people. When they just got off the carriage, the people who were surrounding them were already looking at them and whispering.
"Do you think that's Mr. Yang, who was previously the top talent on the list?"
"It seems so. The person next to him is his wife, Miss Su?"
"That should be it! Didn't the female ruler who was kicked out of the Zheng family publicly state that she deliberately ruined Young Master Yang's reputation?"
"Yes! I have read the open letter, but don't you find that his wife is very beautiful?"
"All the husbands of Lady Su are very handsome!"
"This Lady Su is a painter specially recruited by His Majesty from Yi County to participate in this competition. A friend of mine in Yangfu City said that Lady Su is friendly and even taught them painting skills. I didn't expect her to be so beautiful when I saw her today."
"Are you serious?" the people around him immediately asked when they heard the man speak.
"Of course it's true. Not long ago, Lady Su was assassinated in Laifeng. My friend said that all the scholars in Yangfu City collectively wrote to His Majesty asking him to severely punish the murderer."
. . . . . . .
While people were discussing below, Su Yueyao had already walked up to the person who was in charge of checking the information for this evaluation with her household registration information.
"Are you Miss Su? Take the corresponding number plate and register for the subjects! Your main purpose is to participate in the painter evaluation, which will be held tomorrow. The evaluation of the other seven subjects will be announced today." The man who checked the information said respectfully.
"Thank you for letting me know. I'll go in first."
The man nodded and asked the guard to let him pass.
Su Yueyao and Yang Qian followed them into the Hall of Literature.
