Shangguan Ruixi, carrying a scroll, returned to the pavilion on the other side. He presented the painting for everyone to see, making many unable to believe their own eyes.

"I have heard that Rui'an County's ruler has an amazing knack for remembering details, yet I didn't expect she would remember such minute things. That day, I found the mung bean cake too sweet, took a bite, and put it back on the plate without eating anymore. Look, she even drew the partly eaten mung bean cake."

This painting deepened everyone's admiration for the talents of the ruler of Rui'an County.

Shangguan Xuanyi glanced at his own image in the painting. He knew there was something Xiao'er had painted incorrectly, which was the look in his eyes. His gaze towards the maid was anything but calm, it was filled with deep affection.
