Novel Full Chapter 89.9 - Don’t Think That She Would Lower Her Noble Head! [2]
Shangguan Lingluo was secretly happy. Last night, Taizi gege gave her a welcoming autumn qilu. This was Taizi gege helping her win.
Shangguan Lingluo shyly looked once at Taizi. She leaned down and unhurriedly wrote. When she finished she saw Zi You still fighting with the brush. She smiled proudly.

Plum Blossom Seal Script was the epitome of the country’s ancient calligraphy.
Taizi actually could not read all of what Zi You wrote. But he could not admit that he couldn’t recognize the characters. Therefore, he pretended to consider for a long time. He sighed, “Ai… this is hard for this Taizi to judge. In regards to calligraphy, Mu Xiaojie’s is more exquisite than fourth meimei’s. But fourth meimei only used one-third of Mu Xiaojie’s time to create a welcoming autumn qilu. If fourth meimei lost, there would be some injustice? Ai…”
