Immediately, the poems of the three individuals were selected, and the judges were asked to critique them before announcing the rankings.
The female teacher took the poems and insisted that the elegant lady should comment first. The elegant lady, however, turned to Bai Ruozhu and said, "Lord Bai is from Zhongyuan, and comes from a scholarly family, so let's have Lord Bai critique first."
Bai Ruozhu stood up, "I will respectfully comply."
The Kui Shou beside her had a slightly somber expression, feeling that Bai Ruozhu should concede to him. Was Bai Ruozhu completely disregarding him, the Kui Shou of Fusang?
Bai Ruozhu took the poems and glanced through them. Although she wasn't proficient in poetry, she had been influenced enough to critique them.
"This poem 'Floral Elegance' fits the theme well, expressing the prosperity of blooming flowers and the helplessness of their fading. From the brilliance to the subtle sadness, the emotions are very sincere, good work."
