Yueyao's days at the manor were leisurely, as news in the countryside was somewhat insular. Since Yueyao hadn't participated in the competition and was in the countryside, she didn't pay much attention to this competition.
However, during this period, the Qingfeng Bookhouse had organized an art contest that was exceptionally lively. This competition had minimal requirements, allowing for broad participation.
Within ten days, Qingfeng Bookhouse received thousands of paintings. These would first go through a selection process, followed by preliminary and semifinal rounds, eventually narrowing down to fifty paintings. Finally, three top masters of the painting circle would determine the top three among these fifty.
Unbeknownst to Yueyao, the competition had reached its final stages, and the judges were indecisive between two paintings, unsure of which to declare the first.
