Lin Jiuqing was stunned for a moment after hearing Yingyue's words, then burst out laughing. "She's got her eyes on the top of her head. Aside from her parents who raised her, she's not close to anyone else, and with me... it's even more impossible for her to be close."

After all, I shattered her girlhood dream and made her experience the first and most painful failure in her life. It would be a miracle if she could get close to me.

Yingyue's head was full of questions: "If she is like this, how can you still be friends with her?"

How could Lin Jiuqing consider a very arrogant person with eyes on top of her head as a friend?

Lin Jiuqing smiled and said softly, "She has many shortcomings, but I'm not perfect either. Everyone has some flaws. I'm willing to associate with her because, although she's arrogant, she's very sincere. Even when she's bad, she's sincere."

Yingyue: "..."

After a moment's silence, Yingyue said, "I understand. What Your Majesty values ​​most is sincerity."

Lin Jiuqing didn't say anything, which was considered as an admission.

Yes, after living again, what Lin Jiuqing values ​​most is sincerity.

No matter how kind and good-hearted a person appears to be, once hypocrisy is mixed in, it makes people feel physically uncomfortable.

People like Lin Qingqing, who are arrogant in an open and aboveboard manner and bad in a self-righteous manner, are less offensive to others.

Moreover, just by the fact that Lin Qingqing was willing to help a starving stranger, we can understand that Lin Qingqing's nature is not bad. Her basic character is good, but she has been spoiled since she was a child, which makes her a little domineering, a common problem among young ladies from wealthy families.

Yingyue thought to herself that the reason His Majesty could win the Queen's heart was probably because of his sincerity.

-

That night, Mo Xiao really didn't come back.

The next day, Yingyue applied medicine to Lin Jiuqing, glanced at the wound, and said softly, "The bruise has faded a lot. It should be unnoticeable tomorrow."

Lin Jiuqing didn't care much about his injury: "Yeah, I don't feel any pain anymore. Doctor Chen's medicine is still very effective."

After saying this, she lowered her skirt and told Yingyue, "Go prepare some water and light the incense. I need to clean my hands and start copying the scriptures."

Yingyue frowned: "Your Majesty's injury has not healed yet. It won't be too late to copy it after you have rested for a few days and are completely healed."

"Oh, my injury is nothing. I don't even feel it anymore." Lin Jiuqing said, "I don't know the exact date when my mother will go to the Huguo Temple, so I'd better finish copying the scriptures as soon as possible to avoid being too late."

Copying it a hundred times is no joke.

Seeing that she insisted, Yingyue didn't know what to say, so she had to prepare everything.

Lin Jiuqing washed his hands, thought for a moment with his brush, and finally wrote a few words on a blank piece of paper: "Yingyue, what font do you think is best for me to use when copying the scriptures?"

Yingyue leaned over to take a look, then pointed at one of them and said, "The hairpin flower small calligraphy is the best."

The Empress usually uses the small regular script with flowers when practicing calligraphy or writing letters. I believe she is best at it and it is the easiest for her to write.

Lin Jiuqing took a look and nodded: "Then the hairpin flower small calligraphy will do."

She took a deep breath and began to copy the scriptures. Yingyue stood by and ground ink for her.

The room suddenly became quiet. No one noticed that there was a figure standing by the window for a long time, and finally left quietly.

When leaving, Yingyue glanced over there, then lowered her eyes and continued grinding.
