Princess Yongan's Mansion.

Backyard side hall.

Li Wuji put his hands behind his back and looked up to admire the calligraphy hanging on the wall. Sometimes he smiled, sometimes he nodded frequently.

Ling Yuyan followed Li Wuji silently, her eyes wandering back and forth on Li Wuji's body involuntarily, as if she was extremely curious about Li Wuji.

After reading all the calligraphy on the wall, Li Wuji discovered the unfinished calligraphy on the desk. He couldn't help but nodded in approval. After taking a look at Ling Yuyan, he smiled knowingly.

"Does the young master usually like to look directly at others like this?"

Ling Yuyan coughed awkwardly, avoided Li Wuji's unscrupulous gaze, and spoke slowly.

She was just a little shy at first, and wanted to remind Li Wuji not to be presumptuous, but after she said it, she began to regret it, because the more she heard her words, the more she sounded like she was being coquettish.

"It's never happened before, just because it's you."

Li Wuji was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became serious and spoke word by word.

After hearing Li Wuji's answer, Ling Yuyan couldn't help lowering her head and her face turned red.

Xia Qiu and Jian Shi, who were standing outside the door, were secretly looking inside. They were almost dumbfounded when they noticed that Ling Yuyan looked shy like she had never done before.

"I think the girl is really good at handwriting."

"The ancient ink is lightly rubbed with a few fragrances, and the new inkstone bath shines with light, which may be vigorous or gentle, or like a graceful beauty, or like a vigorous and brave warrior, or like the spring breeze blowing in the face of flowers, or like the north wind entering the pass.

Deep and cold!"

"Good words, good words!"

Li Wuji smiled, looked at the unfinished calligraphy on the desk again, and couldn't help but say.

Hearing Li Wuji's kind words, Ling Yuyan slowly raised her head and looked at Li Wuji with a red face, a trace of fear flashing in her eyes.

"I have long heard that the young master shocked the envoys of the Qian Kingdom in the Xuanhua Palace. He has been famous for a long time. I have long wanted to see it with my own eyes. Now that the young master is here, would you be willing to leave the calligraphy treasure for Yu Yan to appreciate?"

Ling Yuyan hesitated for a moment and said slowly.

"You don't mean what you said at all. I'm afraid all you heard were some people talking behind my back about how I only won with my thoughts, not my words, right?"

"It doesn't matter. My handwriting is as scrawled as a snail's crawl. No wonder others laugh at me."

Li Wuji couldn't help but shook his head and said helplessly.

To be honest, he didn't do much writing in the Xuanhua Palace that day, because Li Guo had already won by the end, so he just wrote a few strokes casually.

"How many people in the world can fight against the four sons of Manjusri alone and win all four battles in the end?"

"How can such a young master not even know how to write?"

Ling Yuyan smiled and said seriously.

After hearing Ling Yuyan's praise, Li Wuji felt very happy, even more comfortable than when he defeated the four sons of Manjusri that day.

"Okay, since the princess thinks so highly of me, I will show my shame and give the princess four words."

Li Wuji paused for a moment, and as he spoke, he picked up the pen, found a blank copybook, brushed the inkstone with ink, and with a flick of his wrist, he wrote the first stroke.

Ling Yuyan was curious and approached slowly, watching with concentration on her face.

After a while, Li Wuji put away his pen and left the case, nodding with satisfaction.

On the copybook, there are four large characters written in a wonderful stroke: The best is as good as water.

"It seems that Yu Yan's guess was indeed correct. The young master did not fully respond to the challenge that day."

"A good person is as good as water, his words are good, and his meaning is even better!"

"With one stroke, it looks like a horse that has escaped from the reins soaring into the sky and then flies away from the dust, or like a dragon flying into the sky and moving around, coming from nothingness and returning to the void again. The idea contains almost crazy primitive vitality, and the impulse is full of energy.

Contains the energy of heaven and earth!"

"Yu Yan is willing to surrender!"

Ling Yuyan looked at the four big characters on the copybook and couldn't help but say.

After listening to Ling Yuyan imitating his own behavior and praising his own words, Li Wuji couldn't help but stare at Ling Yuyan again, feeling an indescribable warmth rising in his heart.

"Master, can you keep this calligraphy as a souvenir? Yuyan will treasure it carefully."

Ling Yuyan shyly avoided Li Wuji's gaze and asked softly.

"certainly."

"This book is for you."

Li Wuji replied without hesitation.

"Thank you, sir."

Ling Yuyan bowed and said gratefully.

"You can make friends with words, no need to say thank you."

"It's getting late, it's time for me to say goodbye."

Li Wuji smiled, waved his hand, and said slowly.

"Yuyan is going to see the young master off."

Ling Yuyan nodded and said.

"No need, a sudden visit is already an offense. Princess, please stay."

"But I still have to remind the princess that someone really wants Ling and Li to go to war!"

"I have said this, the princess will cherish it."

Li Wuji looked at Ling Yuyan, said something sincerely, then clasped his hands and fists, turned around and walked out of the side hall, leading Lu Yuan straight away.

"Princess, I have gone far."

Xia Qiu and the sword attendant slowly walked into the side hall, looked at Ling Yuyan who had been standing for a long time, looking in the direction of the front yard, and said hesitantly.

Hearing Xia Qiu's voice, Ling Yuyan came back to her senses. She hid her embarrassment and turned back to the desk, only to be attracted by the calligraphy again.

"The best thing is like water?"

"Is this the calligraphy written by Marquis Liyang? It looks worse than the calligraphy written by Princess Liyang."

Xia Qiu also looked at it and said with a pout.

"What do you know? Even if we gather all the literati from all over the world to compete with this kind of word, I'm afraid it will be difficult for anyone to be able to match it."

Ling Yuyan glanced at Xia Qiu helplessly and said sincerely.

"Then what do these four words mean?"

Xia Qiu was surprised and asked curiously.

"Water is good for all things and does not compete with it. It is what everyone hates, so it is close to the Tao."

"He is reminding me to continue to hide my edge and not compete with others to avoid getting into trouble."

Ling Yuyan thought for a moment and said slowly.

"Is he caring about you?"

Xia Qiu understood and asked doubtfully. The original dislike for Li Wuji in her heart also faded a lot.

Ling Yuyan said nothing, silently blew the copybook and put it away carefully.

What surprised her was not the word "Li Wuji" which is unique in the world, but the meaning contained in the word. Unexpectedly, she had spent seven years pretending to be a weak, taciturn and unconcerned person, but she was caught by it with just one glance.

He sees through it.

...

Xiao Mansion.

In the second-bedroom courtyard, two maids had just walked out of a side room, with disgust on their faces and whispers.

"You've become so sick, why don't you die? You have to eat and drink all day long, and we have to take care of you all the time. I'm really fed up with it!"

"That is, if the Yun Family Master hadn't been kind, he would have driven the mother and son out of the Xiao Mansion long ago!"

The two of them complained as they walked to the front yard, one holding half-left food and the other holding a basin.

"shut up!"

At this moment, a cold voice sounded, and Xiao Hongxing appeared behind the two of them.

The two maids were startled and turned around to take a look. When they found out it was Xiao Hongxing, the nervousness that appeared on their faces quickly disappeared, and they seemed not to take Xiao Hongxing seriously.

"Who told you to speak arrogantly! When did the Xiao family become so unruly?!"

"Apologise to my mother! Otherwise I will ask the head of the family to take care of you and your family!"

Xiao Hongxing's eyes widened and he scolded dissatisfied.

He had heard all the conversation between the two of them just now. It didn't matter that he was humiliated, but he would not allow others to curse his mother like this.

"Second Young Master, you don't have to scare us. The Yun Family Master will not interfere with your second wife's affairs."
