Chapter 58
In the evening, Li Yu came to Ruoshui's room with a basin of footwashing water, rolled up his sleeves, gently placed Ruoshui's feet in the basin, and washed her feet carefully.

Because Li Yu's hand was injured during the day, now that he was in the water, the blood overflowed again, staining the water in the basin reddish.

When Ruoshui saw this, there was a look of displeasure in her eyes, and she kicked the basin directly. The footwashing water splashed Li Yu's face, and the hair on her forehead was also wet by the water, but she couldn't say anything, she could only wipe her feet with The cloth wipes the water on the ground.

Ruoshui snorted coldly, and ordered Li Yu to fetch another basin of water.

Just when Li Yu was about to wash Ruoshui's feet again, Ruoshui had already put on her shoes, but let her maid Xiaoqing sit in her place, and said with a smile: "I'm tired, in order not to waste water, Nanny, give this water to Xiaoqing."

Li Yu naturally knew what Ruoshui meant, and after being silent for a while, he said to Xiaoqing who looked proud: "Miss Xiaoqing, please."

Xiaoqing proudly put her feet in the basin, closed her eyes and enjoyed washing her feet by the man who used to be the second-in-command of the business house.

Finally, the night passed and the day came as expected.

Today's Kyoto is very lively, just because the once-in-ten-year election for the saint is today.

The saintesses who participated were all famous nobles, and some were even alluring beauties that no one had ever met face to face, so the high platform of the competition was surrounded by water tight early in the morning.

Ruoshui was also dressed up by the maids early in the morning, and now she was followed by a group of beautiful maids, and she was sitting in the sedan chair that had been prepared.

Just this battle is not comparable to ordinary people.

Meeting countless envious eyes along the way, Ruoshui's sedan chair finally stopped under the high platform. The crowd had already made way for her, and Ruoshui's slender hand opened the sedan chair curtain.

Slowly walking out of the sedan chair, the men present immediately shouted.

I saw her wearing a green smoked sweater, a pleated skirt of water mist and green grass, wearing a thin emerald green veil, her shoulders were cut into a waist, and her muscles were like orchids, charming and boneless. Yan three points.

Ruoshui nodded slightly to the crowd around him, and that alluring smile almost made everyone present faint.

"This is the adopted daughter of Prime Minister Shang, she really has an extraordinary temperament."

"It's like a goddess descending to earth."

"It is estimated that this saint must belong to her."

And Ruoshui walked up to the high platform amidst the praises of everyone, and sat down at the prepared position.

After picking up the tea in front of her and taking a sip, she casually looked at the other ladies, and was relieved to find that they all looked at her with a little jealousy in their eyes. These people were not a threat to her at all.

I just hope the next one doesn't disappoint her.

Gradually, all the contestants have almost arrived, only the seat opposite Ruoshui is still vacant.

At this time, a woman in a purple palace dress walked up to the high platform from behind, glanced at everyone on the field, her eyes paused for a moment in the empty space, and then moved away.

All the ladies present left their seats one after another, saluted the woman in purple clothes and said, "I met Aunt Ziyun."

Ziyun, the popular person in front of the empress dowager, even the empress wants to give her some favors. She is the final decision maker of the saintess election.

Ziyun nodded to everyone, "You ladies don't need to be too polite."

After everyone returned to their seats, Ziyun said: "Now I announce the rules of the election. The election will be held in two days. On the first day, there will be competitions on piano and chess, and on the second day, there will be competitions on calligraphy, painting and dancing. Those who choose will receive a reward of 10 taels, and can enter the palace to face the saint and make a request to the current saint."

When the words fell, the crowd immediately exclaimed. The previous saintess winners did not have a reward of 10 taels. 10 taels is not a small amount, enough for a person with a good family to live for several lifetimes.
