The headmaster of the academy knelt on the ground, his face pale.

He never imagined that the five brothers of the Ye family who came to study at the academy were actually the legendary family that adopted the princess.

Isn’t the Ye family too low-key?

If they had just said that their family was related to the princess, the academy would never have allowed other children to bully them like that.

He wanted to explain something, but after opening his mouth several times, he didn't know what to say.

"Everyone, stand up!"

Qingtian had just left the palace and went straight to the academy after receiving the news, so he was still wearing the formal dress for the enthronement ceremony, which looked extremely expensive.

Especially her face that looked more and more like the Princess of Rui. It was hard for anyone to say with a clear conscience that she was not the child of the Prince of Rui and his wife.

After everyone stood up, they looked at the young Qingtian and began to rack their brains to think of an excuse, hoping to quickly get the matter over with.

The woman who had just pushed Ye Changrui spoke first, "Your Highness, today's incident was actually a misunderstanding.

"Children of their age are naughty and active, so it's normal for them to have some conflicts.

“Although the five Ye brothers were the first to attack, the children from our families were not seriously injured, so we will not pursue the matter.

"We all study in the same academy, so maybe we'll become good friends after a fight!"

Before she finished speaking, the parents of the other children nodded repeatedly.

Originally, it was the kids from those families who bullied and oppressed others, but when she spoke of it, it sounded like they were magnanimous and didn't care.

Ye Changnian was the first one who couldn't stand it any longer. He jumped up and down and yelled, "I don't want to be friends with these bad kids!"

When the lady heard this, her expression twisted for a moment, but for the sake of Qingtian, she managed to suppress it.

Qingtian had already seen through her insincerity, and her face was tense.

But she was too young and didn't know how to deal with such a complicated situation.

Logically, the kids on the other side should have apologized to their brothers, but then what?

Brothers, do you want to continue studying here?

Although Qingtian was here for the first time, he didn't have a very good impression of this academy.

She pursed her lips in thought and didn't speak for a long time.

The lady opposite thought that Qingtian did not agree with Ye Changnian's words, and immediately became excited again.

"Princess, my husband is the Minister of Revenue. He has been busy with the autumn harvest and grain tax collection with Prince Rui lately..."

She originally wanted to bring up her husband to build a relationship with the princess.

Unexpectedly, Qingtian turned around and shouted outside the door before she could finish her words: "Father, who has a higher official position, you or the Minister of Revenue?"

As soon as Qingtian said this, the wife of the Minister of Revenue's face turned pale in an instant.

She looked up at the door and prayed in her heart that the father Qingtian was calling at this moment was the Ye family's adoptive father and not Prince Rui.

But the reality did not go as she expected.

"Silly child, do you even need to ask this?"

As the voice came, Prince Rui walked in from outside with square steps.

Ye Qingshan and Wei Yan also came with him.

The moment the president of the academy saw Wei Yan, he knew that he was completely finished this time.

It’s not that he is not afraid of Prince Rui, but given Wei Yan’s status and connections among the literati, he is afraid that he will not be able to continue to stay in this circle in the future.

The parents of several other students finally felt panicked as if a disaster was about to happen, and once again pulled their children to kneel down and pay their respects to Prince Rui.

This time, no one made any excuses and everyone rushed to apologize.

"Your Highness, this is all my son's fault. We will punish him severely when we return so that he will never dare to do it again."

"I beg Your Highness to show some leniency online for the child's youth. I will teach him a lesson strictly when I return."

The more timid ones said directly: "We will drop out of school now and never appear in front of the princess and the Ye brothers again."

Qingtian was very confused by these people's inconsistent attitudes.

She looked up at Prince Rui and asked, "Father, I'm already a princess personally appointed by my uncle the Emperor. Why do these people speak and behave differently to me than to you?"

The people kneeling below broke out in sweat after hearing Qingtian's words.

Prince Rui squatted down and said to his daughter with a smile: "That's because these people are snobbish!

"From their performance just now, we can see that these people are accustomed to doing this kind of thing of flattering the powerful and bullying the weak.

"Today, Dad is here to support you. If you go out on your own in the future and encounter such blind people again, don't let yourself be wronged.

"The guards Daddy assigned to you aren't there to eat for nothing."

"But shouldn't good children hit others casually?"

"Dad believes Qingtian is not a kid who would bully others, but if someone provokes you or bullies you, you can't let yourself down.

"Don't worry, fight boldly. Even if you hit someone, your father will back you up."

Prince Rui spoke in a soft voice, as if he was telling a story to comfort a child.

But when the other people in the room heard it, they all shuddered.

Prince Rui's words clearly told them that Qingtian had the support of Prince Rui's Palace and was not someone they could easily provoke.

Then, Ye Qingshan on the side also spoke up: "Your Majesty, no matter what, I am grateful to the princess for calling me uncle.

“As for the princess’s safety, we should still do our part.
