Chapter 1926: Chapter 659: 657: Is it worth your praise like that? _1

“You may get away with that temper in the south because you have your father’s protection, but you’ll definitely suffer if you stay in Capital City for too long.”

He Biqiu trembled in fear and advised earnestly, “The noble ladies in Capital City are very cunning. You’ll suffer if you’re not careful.”

“Hmph, I’m not afraid. If I can’t stand it here in Capital City, I can just return to the south.”

Princess Huimin pouted stubbornly, “Anyway, I don’t like the weather here. It’s freezing cold in winter and my skin gets chapped.”

“Ahem.”

A soft cough interrupted the private conversation of the three young ladies.

Helplessly rubbing his brow, Ji Liuyun rose from his chair with resignation and handed the exam paper in his hand to Lin Qingluo.

“I’ve already looked at last year’s County Examination paper. There are slight changes to the answers, so you can take a look again.”

“Alright.”

Lin Qingluo had been listening to gossip with great interest and was hooked. Upon seeing Ji Liuyun approaching, she quickly collected her thoughts.

She took the exam paper, laid it flat on the table, scanned it rapidly, raised her eyebrows and showed a hint of surprise.

The exam paper was given to her by Su Zixuan. It was a paper personally answered by the first place winner of the County Exam.

The answers had been revised by Master, and were almost considered the standard answers.

However, Ji Liuyun merely skimmed through it once and offered different insights.

The slight modifications to certain answers made the meanings even deeper and more impressive.

What was even more memorable was his handwriting.

Smooth and elegant, his brush strokes were like wisps of clouds, each line exuding tranquility and ease.

Just like him, gentle and refined, indifferent, and untainted by worldly desires.

The Qi Kingdom’s number one young master and his grandfather’s protege truly lived up to his reputation.

“Senior Brother Ji deserves to be the student that Grandfather values the most. Your literary talent is outstanding and I am impressed.”

Lin Qingluo was naturally open-minded. Since she admired him, she didn’t hide it and spoke her mind directly.

“Miss Lin is too kind.”

Ji Liuyun’s eyes flickered with a smile, “It’s just an exam paper, nothing worth mentioning.”

“What kind of exam paper is it that you praise so highly?”

Princess Huimin and the other two leaned in, their eyes full of expectation.

“This is the exam paper my brother took in last year’s County Exam when he ranked first. The answers have been modified by Senior Brother Ji, making them even more convincing.”

Lin Qingluo didn’t keep it a secret, smiling as she handed the exam paper to Princess Huimin, letting them pass it around.

“Wow, Young Master Liuyun’s handwriting is beautiful.”

“Beautiful handwriting, even more beautiful person.”

“This must be the handwriting of immortals, how can it be so beautiful?”

The three young ladies’ current level of knowledge was not enough to understand the essence of the answers, so their focus was on the exquisite handwriting.

Soon, Lin Qingluo sensed something was wrong. The more the three praised, the more outrageous their compliments became, and they were leaning towards being infatuated fangirls.

“Ahem.”

She had to cough to break the train of thought of the three girls.

“Hehe.”

The three young ladies came back to their senses, embarrassedly touching their noses and avoiding her teasing gaze.

“Alright, let’s continue with yesterday’s unfinished policy essays.”

Ji Liuyun smiled indifferently, observing the interaction of the four young ladies, a dazzling light flashing in his eyes.

“Oh, more policy essays!”

Princess Huimin felt a headache coming upon hearing about policy essays, her delicate face fell, and she slumped dejectedly.

Li Mulin and He Biqiu didn’t fare much better, their heads drooping so low they almost touched the table.
