After Li Jing left the palace, he came to Wuyi Lane.

She hadn't been here for a while. She walked to the gate, raised her hand and was about to knock on the door, but suddenly she thought of something and her hand stopped.

Then, she went around to the back of the house, tiptoed, and jumped onto the roof.

After carefully identifying the sound, she came to the main room and gently lifted the tiles on the roof.

In the room, Li Qingfeng, wearing a gray and white cross-collared long coat, stood behind the table, painting with a paintbrush in his hand. His black hair was casually tied up with a wooden hairpin and draped behind his head, looking lazy and casual.

On the drawing paper was a courtyard with elegant landscape, with pavilions, towers, and flowing water. On one side of a row of houses, there was a three-story wooden attic with carved railings and flying eaves, and green bricks and tiles, which looked very majestic.

Li Jing picked up a stone from the tile, aimed it at Li Qingfeng, and gathered strength.

At this moment, Li Qingfeng's hand holding the pen paused.

Li Jing frowned.

Did he find out?

Li Qingfeng paused for only a moment, dipped the brush in ink, and continued painting.

Li Jing stared at the people in the room with sharp eyes and continued to test them.

She adjusted the angle of her fingers, aimed at the target, and threw the stone in her hand out instantly.

The stone flew out quickly.

A brush fell from the pen holder in front of Li Qingfeng and broke into two pieces with a crisp sound.

The hand holding the brush paused, and he looked curiously at the brush that was broken into two pieces on the ground.

It seemed to be thinking, why did it fall to the ground and break into two pieces?

He put down the pen in his hand, walked to the table, bent down to pick up the brush that was broken into two pieces on the ground, placed it casually on the table, and picked up the brush to continue painting.

Li Jing's brows gradually relaxed a little.

The stone just passed by Li Qingfeng's head, using 70% of her strength. If it was an inch off, Li Qingfeng would have died suddenly.

If he were a martial artist, he would subconsciously dodge based on instinct.

Li Jing put the tiles back in place and jumped off the roof.

After a while, Li Jing walked to the gate of the yard and knocked on the door as usual.

"Boom, boom, boom"

After knocking three times, she stood there waiting.

It didn't take long before the gate opened.

Li Qingfeng opened the courtyard door and showed a warm smile on his face, "Come in!"

He opened the door and moved his body to the side to leave a way for Li Jing.

Li Jing looked up at Li Qingfeng.

Li Qingfeng looked back at her with a casual and gentle smile.

Nothing else.

Li Jing withdrew her gaze and walked into the yard. Li Qingfeng closed the gate.

"Why haven't you come these days?" Li Qingfeng took a few steps forward and followed behind Li Jing.

Li Jing walked towards the main hall and said calmly, "There is unrest in the capital, we have to protect the princess."

After a moment of silence, Li Qingfeng asked, "How are Prince Su and Princess Wang treating you?"

"Well, very good." Li Jing stepped over the threshold and said lightly.

When she entered the room, she saw the brush she had just broken on the table.

The pen holder is made of white jade and doesn't look cheap.

Li Jing felt a little guilty.

It should have been half an inch off.

Seeing that Li Jing's eyes were fixed on the broken pen, Li Qingfeng walked over to her and said, "You didn't put it down firmly just now, and it broke when it fell to the ground."

Li Jing picked up the broken half and asked, "It looks expensive?"

Li Qingfeng smiled and said, "It's a pity to lose the white jade wolf-hair brush."

Li Jing felt even more guilty.

She was not very knowledgeable about literature, but from the words "white jade" and "wolf hair", she knew that this pen must not be cheap.

He should be compensated with one.

Li Jing thought about what Su Lingyue said to her before she left.

Go and ask later. If it is too expensive, go to Butler Wu to withdraw money.

Thinking of this, she felt much better.

Li Jing turned around and looked at Li Qingfeng, who was two heads taller than her, and said with a slightly raised corner of her mouth: "You have invited me to dinner many times, so I will give you one as a thank you gift."

Li Qingfeng smiled and said, "White jade wolf-hair brushes are extremely rare. If you really want to give me one, you can give me a goat-hair brush."

Li Jing played with the corner of her mouth and said, "No, just wolf hair."

There is always enough jade, so if she lacks wolf hair, she can just go hunt a wolf. It's not a difficult task.

Seeing her so happy, Li Qingfeng curled his lips and said: "Okay, as you say, I'll use the wolf hair."

She would come back for him.

There is a solution to the problem, and Li Jing's mood improved a lot. She looked at the painting on the table.

"It's beautiful!" She couldn't say too many words of praise, she just felt that looking at the painting was like seeing a real house.

"Which courtyard is this painting of?" she asked Li Qingfeng indifferently.

"A wealthy businessman went there several times and thought the yard was nice, so he wanted to paint it."

"Indeed, it is very grand, not inferior to the royal palace."

Li Qingfeng looked at the unfinished painting, then looked at Li Jing and asked, "There are still some unfinished paintings. Can you help me grind the ink?"

Grinding ink is not a difficult task. Li Jing agreed, "Okay."

So she ground the ink and Li Qingfeng picked up the brush to paint.

Seeing the peaceful time when Li Jing was grinding ink, Li Qingfeng couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.

After about half an hour, the painting was finally finished.

After letting the ink dry for a while, Li Qingfeng rolled it up, took it back to the room, and threw it into the big vase.

After patting his sleeves, he asked Li Jing: "How do you want the chicken for lunch? Braised or stewed?"

Li Jing immediately refused, "No."

Li Qingfeng looked at her in confusion.

Li Jing frowned and explained, "The dishes that the palace sent her recently are all chicken cooked in various ways, steamed, braised, stewed, stir-fried, and deep-fried. I'm tired of them all."

She thought of Su Lingyue's words again, "Don't be fooled by men."

Her goal was achieved.

Li Qingfeng frowned, "I'll buy some more ducks and geese to raise tomorrow."

Suddenly, a woman's low laughter was heard in the room. Li Qingfeng moved his gaze over and saw Li Jing leaning against the table, trying to hold back her laughter.

The delicate and cold face now smiles like a flower, like a summer hibiscus, delicate and bright, truly beautiful.

Li Qingfeng was stunned by what he saw.

Even though we have known each other for such a long time, Li Jing has never laughed heartily. Her face is always cold and even when she is in a good mood, she is still indifferent.

He had never seen Li Jing laugh like this before.

"Aqing, you look so beautiful when you smile!" Li Qingfeng praised with a smile.

After hearing this compliment, Li Jing paused in laughter and her face quickly turned cold, but her ears still betrayed her.

"I'm tired of eating chickens, ducks and geese in the future. Do you want to raise pigs, cattle and sheep?" Li Jing asked coldly, but with a light tone.

"That's a good suggestion, but the yard for raising pigs, cattle and sheep needs to be expanded."

"Don't touch this yard!"

"Okay, don't move."

Lai Fu found out quickly and came back before noon.

"Princess, I have inquired and found out that Miss Wang went to Prince Jing's mansion early in the morning. Prince Jing is also in the mansion and has not left."

Wang Yirong, King Jing.

What do they want to do at the last critical moment?

Su Lingyue frowned. It seemed that she had to ask Li Jing to make the trip at night to avoid any unnecessary trouble.
