Sitting on the new inkstone, Xu Zekun recalled Yao Susu's calligraphy lessons. He couldn't help but become interested. He spread out the paper and asked Yao Susu to write a few lines.
He originally thought that without his supervision, Yao would definitely neglect to practice. After all, human laziness is the most difficult to overcome, and Yao did not feel any pressure to write well.
But unexpectedly, Yao Susu's handwriting was more than ten times better than before.
Suddenly, Xu Zekun's expression changed, his eyes became deep, almost sucking Yao Susu into his eyes.
Yao Susu blinked and said, "Master, why are you looking at me like this?"
"Nothing." Xu Zekun retracted his gaze and praised: "You write very well."
He had to admit that he liked Yao a little. This liking came from her beauty, her gentleness, and her superficial qualities.
But it wasn't her heart.
But now, he had an inner feeling that shocked Yao. He suddenly realized that in addition to her beauty, her inner self was also shining.
After all, it takes hard work to improve one's handwriting to such a level in such a short period of time, and behind the hard work is a tenacious character.
"Ding, favorability increased by 5%, current favorability is 50%."
Yao Susu was stunned. She didn't expect that writing a word could increase her favorability so much. It was worth her hard work of practicing three big characters every day.
She had long realized how difficult it was to win over Xu Zekun. Relying solely on beauty and temperament could indeed temporarily attract him, but to open his heart and truly enter his heart, she had to rely on her inner self.
He was such a proud man, and she was of such a humble status, a concubine who was found by her mother to bear children.
Whether Xu Zekun did it intentionally or unintentionally, he would unconsciously look down on her.
But what if there was something about her that he truly admired?
Then everything would be different.

Xuanwu was torn. He'd gone out with Master Yao today, and nothing serious had happened. It was just that several men had been seduced by Master Yao. Was that a big deal? Should he report this to the Crown Prince?
Xuan Qing was surprised to see his brother's usually expressionless face suddenly showing a troubled look. He stepped forward and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you? Why do you look like that?"
Xuanqing and Xuanwu are twin brothers, but they don't look alike and their personalities are very different.
Xuanwu is steady and reserved, or to put it bluntly, a little dull, while Xuanqing is much smarter. Both of them are extremely talented. They have been following Xu Zekun since childhood and have first-class martial arts skills.
Xuanwu was reluctant to talk about this with his brother, but when he heard his brother's question, his icy expression returned and he said, "Nothing."
Xuan Qing looked disappointed, as he had thought there was something interesting. However, the prince took him out with him today instead of his brother, and he was very happy.
His martial arts skills are not as solid as his brother's, and his temperament is not as calm as his brother's, but this time the prince came to Wuzhou for an important matter, but he brought him with him instead of his brother.
What does this mean? It means the prince trusts him!
He is willing to stay with the prince. He is happy that the prince chose him!
＊
Xuanwu thought about it carefully all night and finally decided to tell the prince about this matter.
It was the hottest time of the year, but Xuanwu felt a chill on his back. As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that the prince's body immediately became cold, and his eyes became deep and dark, emitting a cold light.
"Scholar? Stunned? Ha." Xu Zekun felt his heart filled with boredom again. Although he didn't see it, he could imagine it just by hearing Xuanwu say so.
It feels really bad to have your woman coveted by other men.
Even if Yao is innocent.
"Master, calm down. Aunt Yao is just following the rules and is just dressed normally."
Xuanwu regretted what he had said at this moment. He really didn't expect the prince to react so strongly. Just now, the prince crushed a teacup with his bare hands, right? Right?
He was afraid that Xu Zekun would vent his anger on Yao Susu, so he spent his entire life organizing this sentence, but it seemed to have no effect.
Xu Zekun's face was still as dark as the bottom of a pot, and there seemed to be two flames burning in his deep eyes, which seemed like they would burst into sparks soon.
He bent his fingers and tapped the table. The sound was not loud, but it reached Xuanwu's eardrums directly, and he felt his scalp numb.
"Get out." It was a long time, or perhaps just a moment, before Xuanwu heard these words.
He quickly retreated, not daring to say another word.
Xu Zekun tried his best to suppress his anger, but when he saw Yao Susu dressed like a fairy and about to go out with Yuping, he could no longer hold back.
Yao Susu was far away at first and didn't notice Xu Zekun's displeasure. She even said happily, "Master, we plan to go to the Wangyue Restaurant in the city today. I heard that the drunken duck there is very famous."
When she got closer and saw Xu Zekun's cold face, the smile on her lips froze.
What happened to this man?!
She raised her fair face, her eyes cautious, but with a little hook in them: "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Little did she know that this exciting look made Xu Zekun even more furious. Whenever he thought of her appearance being seen by other men... he... he was about to explode!
He pinched Yao Susu's chin and said, "The makeup doesn't look good. Wash it off. The clothes are too bright. Change into something plain and wear a veil when you go out."
Although Yao Susu has a good personality, she is not made of clay!
The makeup doesn’t look good? Wash it off?! She’s not wearing any makeup at all!!
What the hell is this bastard doing?
"Master, what's wrong? Don't you want me to go out? Master clearly said that I can..."
"Just do what I tell you to do. Why are you talking so much!" Xu Zekun gradually became impatient. He didn't want to admit it. Because he didn't want Yao Susu to be coveted by other men, he had the terrible idea of keeping her by his side all the time. He didn't want to face himself who was so worried about gains and losses, so he used his irritability to cover up his inner thoughts.
But Yao Susu didn't know that from her perspective, Xu Zekun was moody. He clearly told her that she could come and go as she pleased, but he poured cold water on her when she was dressed and about to leave!
It's simply incomprehensible!
Yao Susu was really angry. She quickly bowed and said politely, "Susu will listen to the prince and go back immediately!"
After saying this, he returned to the house without turning around, with the sound of the bead curtain being lowered.
Xu Zekun got what he wanted, but he still felt unhappy. Was Yao angry? Was she throwing a tantrum at him?!
Yao Susu was really angry, Xu Zekun was sure of that, after all, she had always treated him with care and consideration, treating him like a spring breeze.
But now the spring breeze is gone, and even the affectionate eyes no longer linger on him.
The prince felt upset and angry.
The two of them were cold and hardly spoke a word. Although they slept in the same bed at night, they were on opposite sides of each other. Xu Zekun closed his eyes, but felt very annoyed.
