Chapter 787 The List of Extraordinary People Revealed
"pock?"
Is it really appropriate to say in public that a beautiful woman has a face full of pockmarks?
Countless curious eyes stared at Meng Qingge, trying to find the pockmarks hidden under the watercolor powder.
Meng Qingge's pretty face was redder than a sunset, filled with not only anger but also curiosity.
"How do you know about Ma Zi? Could you be Young Master Lin?" Yun'er asked excitedly.
Meng Qingge has been beautiful since she was a child, and no one has ever said that she has freckles on her face.
Only in the letter she sent to the Prince of Wu a few days ago was there a photo of a face full of pockmarks, so Yun'er concluded that the other party was Lin Ping.
Not only Yun'er, but Meng Qingge was also extremely excited.
She didn't care what Lin Ping looked like, only his superb medical skills, and besides, he had the refined and elegant face of a scholar.
"Xu Congcong, don't be rude!" Xia Yeran shouted angrily, then quickly put on a smiling face for Meng Qingge, "I apologize to the young lady on his behalf."
Xu Congcong was just a student at Huiwen Academy. If it weren't for Lin Ping's connections, he would never have been able to join the delegation. Naturally, he didn't dare to disobey Xia Yeran's wishes and hurriedly apologized to Meng Qingge.
He was a smart man and shouldn't have been so rude, but he couldn't resist his curiosity.
After all, Meng Qingge is too beautiful; she looks completely different from the one in the photos.
Upon hearing Xu Congcong's name, Meng Qingge felt somewhat disappointed. She bowed slightly in return and turned to walk towards Bai Tiantian.
She was indeed somewhat angry, but dared not make things difficult for the Wu Kingdom delegation, especially since she still needed them to find information about Lin Ping.
"I wonder what the relationship is between Miss Meng and Lin Ping?" Xia Linglong suddenly asked.
A woman's sixth sense is an absolute ability to foresee the future, and you have to admit it.
Meng Qingge turned her head and realized that Xia Linglong was a woman. She smiled slightly and said, "It's an admiration relationship."
"You, Lin Ping! All your worries about you have been for nothing. I never expected you to come here just to flirt with other women." Xia Linglong clenched her little fists in anger, ready to smash his head in.
Xia Yeran couldn't help but feel a chill for Lin Ping, sympathizing with his plight.
Within the inner circle, all were royalty and nobility. Meng Qingge's appearance was somewhat abrupt, and she didn't know where to place herself.
"Please offer Miss Meng a seat." Just when she was at a loss for what to do, Bai Tiantian offered.
The general offered her a seat, leaving Meng Qingge even more bewildered.
In the end, I reluctantly sat down.
This scene, witnessed by everyone, filled them with envy, their eyes reddening with envy.
The Meng family is just a second-rate family; what merit do they have to be Bai Tiantian's honored guest?
Only Fan Li gave a cold smile, even casting a contemptuous glance at him.
"Bai Tiantian is really desperate. She can't win over any first-rate family, so she's choosing a second-rate one to put on a show. Isn't she afraid she won't be able to keep up the act?"
Through the grain tax incident, Bai Tiantian realized the importance of winning over wealthy merchants.
But he shouldn't try to win over the Meng family; that would make Fan Li look down on him.
"Young Master Lin, would you mind coming in?" Bai Tiantian took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
Meng Qingge was taken aback. She knew that the "Young Master Lin" Bai Tiantian mentioned was Chen Zhaoxu, not Lin Ping, the young master of Wu Kingdom.
She immediately understood why Bai Tiantian was asking her for help; it turned out that Chen Zhaoxu had an intricate relationship with him.
“Young Master Lin left not long ago,” Meng Qingge answered truthfully.
She didn't want to use Chen Zhaoxu's connection to climb the social ladder.
"Oh? You left?" Bai Tiantian pondered for a long time before nodding and saying, "It's good that you left. A real man should take it upon himself to make achievements and establish a career. Miss Meng, you don't need to go looking for him."
Although they had only met a few times, Bai Tiantian had already discerned that Lin Ping was a sentimental man who was likely burdened by his emotions.
Meng Qingge was actually a burden to him.
As everyone was talking, three white figures, like streaks of light, suddenly appeared in the center of the hall.
The once noisy hall fell silent, and they could naturally guess the identities of the three people.
The diplomatic missions from various countries also became nervous, hoping to glean the information they desired from the list of extraordinary individuals.
The three stood side by side, with Li Hai in the middle and Jiang Mo and Du Yitong on either side.
Chiyang Pavilion is known for its otherworldly nature, with everyone wearing a cold expression.
They don't give long introductions; they go straight to the point.
Du Yitong held a scroll in both hands and slowly unfurled it, revealing a name and lines of small characters.
"Ranked tenth on the list of extraordinary people, Fan Li, the chief minister of the Daye Dynasty."
Du Yitong read it out word by word.
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone held their breath and stared at Fan Li with envious eyes.
The list of extraordinary people only has ten spots, and even the last one is a highly sought-after figure in the world.
Unfortunately, Fan Li, as the chief minister of the Daye Dynasty, was wholeheartedly loyal to the emperor, and the other princes had no chance to win him over, so they could only watch with envy.
Fan Li wore a happy expression, yet feigned seriousness, displaying a formidable and authoritative demeanor.
He was overjoyed. This proved his ability, and the emperor would surely trust him even more, perhaps even granting him higher rank and titles.
"Congratulations, Your Excellency! Congratulations, Your Excellency!" The wealthy merchants of Kyoto offered their fawning congratulations.
Not long ago, Fan Li lost a game against Bai Tiantian, but now she has won back her losses with interest.
Once the news spreads, the emperor will surely move to Fan's residence and personally invite him to court.
At that time, Bai Tiantian will inevitably be slandered, and the emperor can only say, "Yes, yes, very well, my dear minister, you are right."
The small print on the scroll simply described how amazing Fan Li was, how well he governed the country, and how he brought about tremendous changes to the Daye Dynasty, increasing its national strength.
These words are not unfounded. If Fan Li had no ability at all, he would not have become the chief minister of the Daye Dynasty.
Bai Tiantian looked somewhat embarrassed. He knew he had lost with that sentence, but didn't know how to make amends.
Could it be that you secretly told the emperor that the list of extraordinary people was worthless and had no reference value?
I'm afraid this will anger the emperor, and I might even be accused of being jealous of talent and ability.
The announcement of the tenth place winner only served to boost the atmosphere, since no short-sighted ruler would try to win over Fan Li.
After everyone quieted down, Du Yitong put away the scroll, and Jiang Mo took over.
According to the rules of the list of extraordinary people, five names will be announced at a time, with a half-month interval between announcements.
In other words, this time the ranking will be announced up to sixth place.
The moment he opened the scroll, Jiang Mo revealed a cryptic smile.
When everyone saw what was written on the scroll, they were all greatly surprised.
There is only a name on it, without any related description.
"Ninth on the list of extraordinary people, Prince Xia Yeran of Wu Kingdom!" Jiang Mo announced loudly.
The voice shocked everyone once again. For most people, the name Xia Yeran was unfamiliar, and even he himself was somewhat confused.
"Ye Ran, it's actually you?" Xia Linglong gasped, casting a surprised glance at him.
