Because Yun Miao's paintings are not so much paintings as they are masterpieces to them.
Because she reproduced the real objects that they could see directly on paper through color.
It was a brightly lit flower festival, with lotus lanterns adorning the river. Crowds sat in pavilions, watching the spectacle unfold with smiles. Beyond the pavilion, a bright moon cast a brilliant light across the river, its halo seemingly shimmering with life. Beyond the flower festival's sight, on the other side of the river, a magnificent spectacle of mountains and rivers unfolded, and a street of lanterns adorned with joyful gatherings spread out. This painting clearly depicted not only the flower festival but also the prosperity of the Tiansheng Kingdom, where peace and prosperity reigned.
"Good! Very good!" Mulansheng's eyes flickered. He never knew... In addition to her miraculous medical skills and stunning dancing posture, she now also had such astonishing painting skills.
Yang Zhifu stood aside, her smug look frozen.
When she saw Yun Miao's paintings, she knew she had lost.
Mu Linyuan also looked deeply at the woman standing calmly on the stage. At first, he thought she was just an ugly servant with no merit, thinking of climbing up the social ladder and dismissing her. Now he realized that she was a rare genius, not something that ordinary people could compare to.
No wonder she would belittle a group of princes and make them worthless.
"Your Majesty, look, there are two of us in the painting! I really want to preserve this scene. When I look at it in the future, I can recall the days when we enjoyed the flowers together." Jiang looked at Meng Yuqin. They used to be close friends, but since Meng Yuqin entered the palace, they no longer had the opportunity to get along like this.
Meng Yuqin couldn't help but sigh, feeling a little touched.
Gu Yaoqing also smiled and fanned himself, "Wonderful, absolutely wonderful! This is the first time I've ever seen a portrait like this. If this style of painting were to become popular throughout the country, why would we worry about those criminals escaping the wanted list?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone woke up.
Indeed, although the current wanted posters can roughly describe the appearance of the criminal, they can only describe the general features. If you really meet the person in person, you may not be able to recognize him.
"I'm a bit vulgar. I just love this kind of magnificent artificial landscape. Without the prosperous cities that prove a nation's peace and prosperity, how could the people enjoy a leisurely rural life? Our pursuit of ordinary comfort is based on a strong foundation. We must not lose either." Yun Miao said calmly, "Everyone likes to feel free and unrestrained, but as nobles, abandoning their duties and blindly pursuing superficial comfort is also a kind of lazy and selfish idea. We can't just enjoy wealth and luxury while being forced to be noble. Whether ordinary or rich, we should be proud of it instead of competing with each other."
Everyone was awakened when they heard her words.
Although Yang Zhifu's words just now sounded nice, she was also a rich and noble lady who enjoyed wealth and glory. Besides, wouldn't it be hypocritical to say that she wanted to pursue a rural life?
And who among those present could really endure that kind of suffering? It was just nice talk.
Take the royal family for example. They enjoy great power but also have to bear external pressure and the stability of the entire Tiansheng Kingdom.
Power, wealth and ordinariness are all indispensable.
It is not the case that pursuing simplicity alone is pure. They are in high positions and have different statuses, but they have things they need to bear.
Yun Miao's ambition is written so openly on her face, which makes her look genuine.
"Well said." Jiang nodded in satisfaction. "While we enjoy wealth and prosperity, we also have to work hard for the people. Merchants have worked hard to travel to foreign lands and distant seas, encountering all kinds of hardships and dangers to drive business to Tiansheng. The prosperity of our Tiansheng Kingdom should not only be limited to small farmers, but also have the vision and ambition of a great country. Both are important."
Although Jiang had helped Yun Miao before because of his own special reasons, he was now really moved by Yun Miao's words and felt a bit of goodwill towards her.
In fact, the woman in front of her could also obtain the position of Flower Goddess without her help, as her talent was worthy of it.
Meng Yuqin stopped talking. She felt Yun Miao's words were a bit of a slap in the face. After all, she had just praised Yang Zhifu's painting for her good mood. So her expression was slightly grim at this moment, but she quickly calmed down and regained her composure.
Yang Zhifu's face was distorted with anger. Compared with Yun Miao, her emphasis on elegance was seen as hypocritical and petty in everyone's eyes.
Mulansheng smiled helplessly. This girl is quite eloquent.
"It seems that there is no need to compete anymore. The result of this painting competition is obvious at a glance. Is there anyone who still disagrees?" Mu Linyuan said calmly.
There was complete silence.
They were indeed amazed by Yun Miao's painting skills, but...
"How about I compete with you in piano skills?" Suddenly, Mo Lanxin, the young lady from the Minister of War's Mansion who won the first place in piano skills, stood up gently in the corner and looked at Yun Miao with bright eyes.
Mo Lanxin wasn't particularly obsessed with the Flower Goddess. Instead, she felt a surge of competitive spirit in Yun Miao. This woman was so confident she dared to accept the challenge. She must have some talent.
She was curious whether her piano skills could surprise people as much as her painting skills.
Mo Lanxin walked to the high platform in front of everyone. Her personal maid immediately ordered a servant beside her: "Quickly bring the young lady's zither."
Generally, people who play the piano are used to using their own pianos, and Mo Lanxin's piano was made by a famous master.
"Mo Lanxin's piano skills are unparalleled in the world. Yun Miao can't be omnipotent, right?"
"Exactly. How old is she? She can't possibly dance, paint, and play the piano, right? You can't just play the piano casually. It requires talent."
The people below were talking in low voices.
Yun Xian thought so too. It was impossible for Yun Miao to know everything. She was only the same age as them.
Yun Miao stepped aside and looked at Mo Lanxin with a smile: "Would you like to go first?"
"Okay." Mo Lanxin didn't hesitate. After placing the piano stand on the water platform, she sat down directly.
She played the classic piece "Moon Frost Flower", and the pleasant sound of the piano instantly spread throughout the pavilion.
Unmoved by praise or criticism, I leisurely watch the flowers in the courtyard bloom and fall; indifferent to coming or going, I watch the clouds roll and unfold in the sky.
"This song should only exist in heaven, how often can we hear it in the world? Miss Mo is worthy of her name. Today, I am fortunate enough to hear the music of the best zither in the capital." Mu Yeting nodded with satisfaction.
Mulansheng's eyes fell on Yun Miao beside him. He saw that she was calm and composed and didn't seem nervous at all. In this year, she had grown into such a stunning beauty. Even though she was wearing a mask, it did not affect her graceful and elegant temperament.
The little maid who had been so sharp-tongued towards him was gone. When she faced him, she was cold and calm, with no ripples in her eyes. Could it be that she had really forgotten him?
Mulansheng had so many questions to ask, but he had no choice but to wait for the flower show to end.
Mu Linyuan was also curious. Are there really women in this world who know everything?
Mo Lanxin's piano skills have reached the pinnacle, and it is extremely difficult to surpass her.
