The days of studying at Guozixue passed quickly, and now it was almost May, and the spring was deep and the grass and trees were in full bloom.

Liu Li completely took off his thick jacket and cape, and put on a newly cut spring outfit.The material was bestowed by the emperor, tailor-made by the master tailor in the palace, and it complemented her exquisite figure.

During this period of time, she had lunch with Ning Zisheng every day, studying and gaining favorability while studying.

The 10 o'clock rise on the first day was extremely easy, and at the same time successfully brought Liu Li's luck value back to a positive number.

But since then, Ning Zisheng has been stingy, and his favorability has increased by 1 point at most, sometimes even as low as 1.So Liu Li has been brushing for almost a month, and now his favorability is only 0.5.

But overall it was going upwards, and she didn't have any complaints.

It's just that Liu Li is living a comfortable life, so there are naturally people who don't like her and plan to punish her.

After what happened last time, the eighth princess, Ning Zichun, had a grudge against Liu Ruyun. She coaxed her for a while before her attitude improved.

It was also fortunate that the eighth princess was simple-minded and did not tell her mother Li Jieyu about this, otherwise Liu Ruyun would not be able to eat and walk away.

Liu Li, it was all Liu Li's fault!

Liu Ruyun gritted her teeth with hatred, and at the same time, she also hated Ning Zisheng who was beside her.

From Liu Ruyun's point of view, Liu Li and Ning Zisheng were deliberately slapping her face when they got close.After all, the Ninth Princess has to come to pamper Liu Li, but she can only circle around the Eighth Princess to see people's faces!

Concubine daughters are natural enemies, the relationship between them doesn't need much provocation, it's already on the line and has to be launched.

Under Liu Ruyun's jealousy and resentment, some shady schemes are secretly taking root.

Inside the gazebo, Ning Zisheng casually flipped through a page of "Book of Changes": "If you go up, you will be trapped, so you will be trapped."

Liu Li thought for a while, and replied fluently: "Those who are trapped on the top will definitely go down, so I accept it as a well." [Note 1]

"Yeah." Ning Zisheng put down the book, and said in a calm tone, "I have recited it all."

"Of course, His Highness ordered after all." Liu Li smiled and rolled his eyes.

"Could it be that you used to pretend?" Ning Zisheng squinted at her, hiding a bit of obvious temptation, "It doesn't look like you have never read a book."

Naturally, Liu Li couldn't admit it, and scratched his head pretending to be stupid: "Your Highness praised me, so why should I pretend that my level is not good enough for His Highness?"

Ning Zisheng's slender fingers flipped through the paper that Liu Li copied, glanced at it, and twitched his brows slightly.Although the memorization is good, the characters are crooked and unsightly, and the writing is not as good as that of a five or six-year-old child.

Ning Zisheng thought that he couldn't write like this with his left hand, it seems that Liu Li really didn't practice calligraphy very much.

"Your Highness, teach me how to write, will you?" Liu Li naturally did not miss the flash of disgust in Ning Zisheng's eyes, and suddenly had a whim.

"Have you seen my handwriting?"

"The writing is like a person, why don't you show me your highness?"

After getting along with Ning Zisheng for a period of time, and observing the fluctuation of favorability every day, Liu Li also probably knew what Ning Zisheng liked.

She likes smart people who are straightforward, and hates awkward idiots.

Liu Li originally planned to be as gentle and tactful as possible, but seeing Ning Zisheng like this, she also gave up her pretense.

Ning Zisheng took out a small book bound with bamboo rope from the book bag, and handed it over.

When I opened it, I saw that the handwriting was beautiful, and it was a very beautiful lower case script, but it was too soft and had no character at all.

Liu Li glanced at it, then looked up at Ning Zisheng: "This doesn't look like His Highness's writing."

"Oh? How is it not like it?"

Liu Li thought that because I clearly remembered that your characters in the original book were cursive script, in the blink of an eye, he thought of a wording: "I just feel that this character is too elegant and smooth, and His Highness gives me the feeling that it is more angular than that. Writing this Xiaokai, I'm afraid I'm very tired."

Ning Zisheng couldn't see any emotion on his face, he just said: "Really."

There were some turmoil in my heart.

At first, Ning Zisheng thought that Liu Li was a complete idiot, but later he found out that she was a little clever. Although he overturned the previous thought in his mind, he still didn't pay much attention to it.

The other princesses who listened to lectures at Guozixue all wrote lower script. Although Ning Zisheng preferred running script to be fluent and free, but in order to restrain his sharpness and stand out from everyone, he naturally had to pretend.

Little did he know that Liu Li was as wise as a fool, and so transparent, he could tell at a glance that the lower script was deliberately practiced by her.

"[Ning Zisheng]'s favorability towards you is +10. The current favorability is 25 (mere acquaintance)."

Liu Li accepts it as soon as he sees it, and avoids the topic: "Today I brought a new pastry, Your Highness, do you want to try it?"

"You figured it out by yourself again?"

Liu Licheng said: "No, but it's also quite delicious. Your Highness will know after tasting it."

This basket of dim sum was specially ordered by Liu Li from the Imperial Dining Room, and it was supposed to be delicious.

After the two ate separately, Liu Li was about to take out a handkerchief to wipe his lips, but found nothing.It seems... I forgot my handkerchief.

She remembered that she got up late today and was afraid of missing the lecture, so she hurried out and forgot in the hall of smoke.

Liu Li had some dessert residue on his lips, and he was too embarrassed to wipe it with his hands in front of Ning Zisheng. After thinking about it, he asked, "Your Highness, how many handkerchiefs did you bring?"

Ning Zisheng was startled: "What?"

Liu Li said in a low voice: "If you have more, let me wipe your mouth."

Ning Zisheng pursed her lips and remained silent. She had a calm temperament and was well-prepared no matter what she did. As for handkerchiefs, she naturally brought two of them.

On the palm, the handkerchief with a white background is plain and soft, with something dotted on one corner, I don't know if it is a pattern or a word.

"You want my handkerchief?" Ning Zisheng asked.

"Yeah." Liu Li was a little ashamed. Ning Zisheng didn't get any of it on her face when she ate snacks. In comparison, her eating was really indecent, "Is it okay?"

At that moment, Liu Li was surprised to find that Ning Zisheng's favorability value began to fluctuate rapidly, jumping sideways repeatedly, up to 100 and down to -100 in just a few seconds.

The system prompts that only she could see were overwhelming, and finally settled on a number.

"[Ning Zisheng] Current favorability: 50 (friend of gentlemen)."

...There is such a good thing?It took such a long time to brush 25 points, but Guan Ning Zisheng asked for a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, so his favorability was doubled.

As expected of you, Ning Zisheng, you are such an incomprehensible woman.

Ning Zisheng stretched out his hand towards her silently, allowing Liu Licong to take away the extra handkerchief.

The wide sleeves slid down slightly, revealing Ning Zisheng's white but too slender wrists, Liu Li caught a glimpse and said, "Your Highness is too thin, you can just eat the cakes I brought."

She originally thought that such words would have no effect on Ning Zisheng, but she saw that Ning Zisheng's cheeks flushed suddenly, he coughed lightly, and turned his head away in a concealed manner.

Shy?Liu Li was puzzled, and could only attribute it to the fact that although Ning Zisheng was young and mature, he was only 12 years old after all, and he was still at an age where he needed to make friends.

Perhaps she reacted this way because she had never experienced friendship with her peers.

After wiping her mouth as gracefully as possible, Liu Li folded the handkerchief and tightened her embrace: "Thank you, Your Highness."

Naturally, the dirty handkerchief couldn't be returned to Ning Zisheng like this. After she went back to wash it, it would be returned to the original owner.

Ning Zisheng didn't speak, and suddenly couldn't see through the girl in front of him even more.

How could she ask for a handkerchief so recklessly?

In Daning, a handkerchief is extremely important and should never be given to others lightly.If someone is ashamed to express his heart to his sweetheart, but can't bear to miss it, he will implicitly ask his sweetheart for a handkerchief.

If you don't give it, it means rejection; if you give it, it means that the two hearts are happy.

In some places, giving a handkerchief can even be regarded as a life-long commitment.

Ning Zisheng came to his senses, only annoyed that he didn't know why, thinking that Liu Li asked for a handkerchief too naturally, she was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously gave it out.

Liu Li had already put him in his arms, so it was too late for Ning Zisheng to come back now.

"you……"

Liu Li didn't notice that Ning Zisheng hesitated to speak, but saw that it was almost time, and he should go back to the palace to do his homework: "Then, Your Highness, I will take my leave first."

She laughed happily, a faint dimple looming on her face, which made Ning Zisheng swallow what she wanted to say, and returned to her usual expression.

"Ah."

Ning Zisheng looked at Liu Liyuan's back, and unconsciously touched a string of Buddhist beads on his wrist with his left hand.

It was worn by Chu Cainu on her hand when she was born, and she has been wearing it for 12 years. Whenever Ning Zisheng felt uneasy, as long as he touched this bead, he would quickly calm down and calm down.

But this time, Ning Zisheng sat alone in the gazebo for two sticks of incense, walking the beads around his wrists again and again, but his thoughts were still confused.

Hovering in his mind was the name of Princess Chunning.

——Liu Li.

Liu Li knew nothing about Ning Zisheng's thoughts.

It's not her fault, there is no emotional line in the original book, so she didn't know the meaning of the handkerchief.

After all, in ancient times, there was a "handkerchief exchange" between boudoir daughters, and it is similar here.

After Liu Li returned to the Hall of Yanluo, he handed the handkerchief to Yan'er: "My dear Yan'er, wash this up."

"Isn't this the princess's handkerchief?"

Yan'er took the unfamiliar handkerchief, surprised and suspicious, and looked at the embroidered "nine" character on the lower right corner of the handkerchief.

"Yeah." Liu Li changed his clothes, lay down on the couch with his eyes closed, and was about to take a nap, "It belongs to His Highness Ninth Prince, so don't let it be damaged by washing."

Yan'er was shocked: "His Ninth Highness's handkerchief, how did the princess get it back?"

"I don't care what she wants." Liu Li said casually, "Okay, I'll sleep for a while, don't make noise."

Yan'er obediently went to wash her handkerchief, while digesting Liu Li's words just now.

She naturally knew what asking for a handkerchief and giving a handkerchief meant.

In Daning, regardless of gender, anyone can marry.Although same-sex love marriages are always a minority, they are tolerated and accepted by the world.

I didn't expect my princess to ask His Royal Highness Ninth Princess for the handkerchief so directly. The key is, His Highness Ninth Returned it? !

Yan'er was thinking with a complex expression, could this be considered as her princess and His Highness the Ninth Prince had made a private appointment for life?
