Princess Wanhe smiled lightly, not expecting Yueyao at such a young age to be devoid of any competitive edge. Thinking of the Guanyin image, Wanhe continued Yueyao's humble words, "Miss Lian is too modest, I think you and Miss Mu are evenly matched in your scholarly pursuits." Mu Qinglian was indeed remarkable, but in these three competitions, she was outshone by Yueyao.
Lu Yanfan chimed in from the side, "The Commandery Princess speaks the truth."
Mingzhu curled her lip, to say Yueyao was on par with Mu Qinglian really flattered the latter. Fortunately, Mingzhu still retained some sense and dared not voice these thoughts.
The competition had officially come to an end, and Mingzhu led everyone to sit in the garden. Over thirty young ladies chatted away, and Yueyao felt her head buzzing from the side. Finding an excuse to elude the crowd, she found a secluded spot to sit down.
