Xuan Mo stood up. He seemed not to notice anything unusual and blocked the sound waves without making a sound. He slowly walked to Lan Ning's side and lowered his eyes to see the calligraphy on the table. The girl's hands were paler and she was holding a wolf-hair brush.

But the handwriting... is still unsightly.

Lan Ning carefully observed Xuan Mo's expression. Seeing a hint of helplessness in the man's eyes, she couldn't help scratching her head. She also knew that her handwriting had not improved.

"I... I really wasted such a good thing." Lan Ning's cat ears drooped down, and his beautiful face was twisted into a ball because of self-blame, and the word guilt was almost written on his face.

Xuan Mo's breathing stagnated. He knew how hard Lan Ning had worked during this period, so how could he blame her for her poor handwriting?

"How can we waste something we can use?" Xuan Mo sat down on the other side of Lan Ning. He gently took Lan Ning's pen, found a clean spot among the pile of scribbles, and wrote a beautiful word.

"No matter what happens in the world, you start from scratch. I am not born with the ability to write neat characters. Just practice slowly, stroke by stroke." Xuan Mo instructed, and changed another piece of paper. He handed the pen to Lan Ning, "Your Highness, why don't you try again?"

Otherwise, why do many girls have no resistance to gentle, noble and handsome men?

Lan Ning felt that Xuan Mo was like a snow lotus walking in the world, holy and beautiful, not affected by any worldly troubles. Her pair of light brown eyes seemed to have seen all the ups and downs in the world, and were always calm and peaceful.

And when he feels pity for something, his eyes will be filled with irresistible tenderness and compassion, which is different from Xuan Heng's overbearing and straightforwardness. That kind of gentle breeze and drizzle feeling makes Lan Ning's heart move.

She didn't know that her cheeks and ears were dyed pink because of Xuan Mo's tenderness, which made Xuan Heng's expression change again and again when he saw her.

But what was rare was that Xuan Heng did not do anything extreme this time. He just stared at Lan Ning's profile, wondering how many men would be attracted by this face when it was restored soon.

"You practice on your own first. I have something to say to Lord Xuan." Xuan Heng was silent for a moment. He signaled Xuan Mo to go out with him with his eyes.

Lan Ning nodded and watched the two men walk out one after another.

Her beautiful jewel eyes rolled around, she carefully put down the pen in her hand, stood up and leaned in front of the window to look at the pool in the palace.

She was still thinking about the beautiful little mermaid. That delicate, pretty, yet fragile face really made her maternal love burst out, but it was a pity that she didn't see it.

Instead, I found many puppet palace maids standing in the pool, busying themselves with something.

Lan Ning looked for a long time but couldn't find it. She curled her lips and had to sit back down with her skirt lifted up and continue writing with a pen.

-

"What does the prince want to say?" Xuan Mo followed Xuan Heng to the palace where the mermaid was imprisoned. Standing here, they could hear the noise inside the palace more clearly.

Xuan Heng knocked on the window with his hand, "Your Crane tribe is near the sea, send this thing away. Lord Xuan doesn't want any more people to fight for Lan Ning. You and Jing Ye are my limit. If there is one more, I will kill him."

Xuan Mo was silent. He looked at the window meaningfully. He just heard the puppet palace maid say that this was sent by Furou.

"The mermaids live in the deep sea. They have the most beautiful faces and the most beautiful voices in the world. They never appear on land." Xuan Mo sighed, "But they can bewitch creatures on land."

Xuan Heng nodded, "Since Lord Xuan knows it, I'll leave this matter to you."

He threw away this hot potato without hesitation.

Xuan Mo smiled and said, "Your Majesty, aren't you worried that the princess will be angry about this?"

Xuan Heng glanced towards the palace where Lan Ning was, and saw the cat ears flash by. "It's just a little thing she only saw once, she won't take it seriously."

It just happened that this mermaid was so beautiful that I was bewitched by him at first sight.

As long as they don't meet again in the future, Lan Ning will be fine, and will not be bewitched by that little goblin again.

The mermaid who was separated from them by a wall heard the entire conversation. His pretty face was distorted. That bastard actually imprisoned him and wanted to send him away just to monopolize the little kitten? !

The mermaid scratched the door in a frenzy.

They didn't let him get close to Lan Ning, but he insisted!

The mermaid shook his tail and jumped into the pool to recuperate, his lake blue eyes staring at the door sealed by magic. One day he would find a way to get out.

Furong Palace.

Furou sat on the bed holding the baby. She felt Hengyue's breath and said, "You're back. Are you done?"

"The person I choose will meet your highness' expectations." The person who spoke was not Heng Yue, but the person on the inside of Furou's bed. He reached out and poked the cheek of the baby in Furou's arms. The softness and warmth made him feel very novel.

Heng Yue looked at the man who was so beautiful that he seemed to be out of this world, and a trace of displeasure flashed in his eyes, "Chao Xi, you are not His Highness's husband yet, come down quickly."

Chao Xi stared at him with a half-smile, then turned around and hugged Fu Rou's waist, "The people around His Highness are so fierce." He was also handsome, even more handsome than Heng Yue, and his voice was gentle and made people feel pity.

"Of course your choice is good, but sending him to Tinglan Palace like this, don't you worry about his comfort? After all, he is your own brother." Furou handed the child to the puppet palace maid and reached out to gently stroke Chaoxi's golden hair.

Chao Xi chuckled and said, "The mermaids give birth to dozens of children in one litter, all of whom are useless like him. It would be worthwhile to raise him if he can be used."

Just as he said, he chose that fish simply because it had the best appearance, the sweetest voice, and was most likely to capture the heart of a woman who had never seen a man.

Even if this one is killed, he still has many more.

"When I am out of confinement, we will go to hold the bond ceremony." Furou said slowly, "And thank you for this matter."

Chao Xi felt her tenderness and rubbed her neck affectionately, "I like you. I will not allow any things or people that make you unhappy to exist."

He kissed the back of Furou's hand, "Please believe me, I will let that woman die in Tinglan Palace."

Lan Ning knew nothing about these plots. She had just finished practicing calligraphy with great difficulty, and then was dragged by Xuan Heng to learn chess from Xuan Mo. Such advanced things really required her to use her brain.

Even if Xuan Mo let her do it on purpose, she couldn't win.

"I'm not going to play anymore." Lan Ning had lost so many games and was in a bad mood. She put down the chess piece angrily and snuggled in Xuan Heng's arms.

Xuan Heng pinched her nose and said, "Then let me do it."

In this regard, the two were evenly matched. After an hour, the winner was still undecided, and Jing Ye came instead.

The task of the military officers was not as easy as that of the civil officials. After leaving court, they had to patrol Wanjing City. Just after he finished a circle, he was stopped by a servant of the Xuanmang clan.

Said Lanning wanted to see him.

Jing Ye struggled for a long time. He packed up and hurried to Tinglan Palace.

As soon as he entered the palace gate, he keenly smelled a strange smell coming from the deep sea.
