Time Travel: The Noble Family

Mingzhu looked at the expressions of everyone around her with great pride, her lips involuntarily curling into a smile. However, upon seeing Yueyao’s indifferent demeanor, her face fell once again.

In the end, it was Lu Yanfan who broke the eerily silent atmosphere, saying, "We’ve strayed off topic. Now, we should critique the two pieces of calligraphy. Which one do you all think is the best?"

Guan Qiong and An Ning simultaneously said, "I think Qinglian’s calligraphy is slightly better, what do you all think?" Both pieces were beautiful, akin to blossoming plum flowers. Therefore, unable to discern which was superior, they favored Mu Qinglian, hence they praised her work.

Princess Wanhe smiled and asked Mu Qinglian, "Miss Qinglian and Miss Yueyao, what do you yourselves think?" The two pieces appeared rather similar to her; thus, she found it difficult to pass judgment.

With a smile, Mu Qinglian said, "Naturally, Sister Yueyao’s is better, for I am two years her senior." What Mu Qinglian meant was, being older, if their calligraphy were similar, she had already lost the competition.

In her heart, Mu Qinglian was actually quite annoyed. She thought Yueyao had used some tricks to win unfairly, and felt quite frustrated by her loss.

Yueyao, however, shook her head and said, "In the realm of skills, age does not matter. On the surface, the two pieces may look similar, but in essence, Miss Mu’s characters are elegant and lively, capturing the essence of plum blossom calligraphy style; mine are too strong and stable, so I have lost this competition."

Princess Wanhe furrowed her brows, feeling that Yueyao’s statement was incorrect. She intuitively believed Yueyao’s calligraphy was better, but she could not articulate the reason.

Miss Nan Shuang, sitting next to Princess Wanhe, explained, "Cousin, Miss Lian is mistaken. The essence of plum blossoms is purity, not elegance and liveliness. Miss Lian, your characters have grasped the essence of plum blossom calligraphy style, which makes yours better than Miss Mu’s."

Yueyao had already been curious about this Miss Nan Shuang, and now, her curiosity grew. She couldn’t help but look towards Miss Nan Shuang. Who was this girl, to be so knowledgeable?

The girl named Miss Nan Shuang gave Yueyao a kind smile. Princess Wanhe’s expression towards Yueyao also improved significantly.

After examining Yueyao’s writing carefully, Lu Yanfan then said, "Sister Yueyao, if I am not mistaken, the characters you wrote on the statue of Buddha were in the Wang calligraphy style, and now you have written in the plum blossom calligraphy style? Miss Lian, you have learned two types of calligraphy styles?"
