Xie Jue spent his days in the Prince Manor very comfortably. When the manor was first established, he had to manage the household affairs, but now he has handed everything over to Mingzhu. Mingzhu is also starting to manage the assets of the Prince Manor, so Xie Jue can now relax without any worries, nurturing flowers, playing chess, accompanying Ruyi in calligraphy practice, and teaching Mingzhu to paint. Mingzhu, as a Beiman Woman, is not fond of the Northern Pavilion Women's embroidery and painting. There are nursing nuns in the manor, who sometimes firmly compel her to learn. Although Mingzhu is unwilling, she is influenced by her environment. Her friends at the Imperial College, who also practice martial arts, engage in feminine crafts, so she is forced to learn as well.
Xie Jue looked at Mingzhu's uniquely drawn paintings and recalled Fengyu's paintings, unable to suppress his laughter. Mingzhu's temperament made painting more unbearable than drinking medicine.
