Once Li Hua play music no one pay attention to her, only her father applause not like Yuer before all people cheer her. "First Round winner is Lady Bai Yuer" said head eunuch. Li Hua gritting her teeth, "i will not let you win" said Li Hua angry. The second round is art so they will painting, this easy to Yuer since she self drawing her restaurant and cloth.
