The end of the Si hour.

Imperial College, Class D.

"Princess!"

"Princess!"

Seeing that Hua Qingcheng, who was sitting at the end of the table, was actually dozing off, Bai Yuheng threw the book in his hand at her head with a "bang".

"Ouch!" Hua Qingcheng, who almost fell asleep, covered her head and cried out in pain.

Today was Hua Qingcheng's first day back at the Imperial College after the Lunar New Year. Ever since Mu Lige began giving birth, Hua Qingcheng had barely slept, having been by his side. After the birth, she'd been taking care of the child during the day and coaxing him at night, getting very little rest. Consequently, she'd been dozing off during class this morning.

"It's time to have lunch after school, right?" Hua Qingcheng, who was suddenly awakened from her sleep, touched her head and asked in confusion.

"Hahaha……"

As Hua Qingcheng finished speaking, the entire class of Class D burst into laughter.

"Master Bai, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess has just given birth to a pair of twins, so it's understandable that her mind is not on her studies. In my opinion, you should... not be so harsh." The Second Princess Nalan Wansheng (Prince Yu), who was sitting in the same group, stood up from her seat, gently waved the folding fan in her hand, and said sarcastically.

"Prince Yu is right." Nalan Wansheng's sister-in-law Xia Qifeng, the consort of the eldest prince Nalan Lingyun, also echoed.

"Law is nothing more than human feelings. Why should Master Bai be so fussy?" Huangfu Yueshan, the consort of the third prince Nalan Yichen, said with a smile.

Ye Dexian, the consort of the Second Prince Nalan Junhao, also nodded in agreement.

"Hmph!" Bai Yuheng glanced at the few people who were just watching the fun and looking for trouble, and said sternly, "This master doesn't care whether you are the prince consort, the emperor's daughter, or even the princess of the imperial family. Since you have come to the Imperial Academy to study, you are students of the Imperial Academy and must strictly abide by the rules of the academy."

Bai Yuheng paused for a moment, then turned his gaze towards Nalan Wansheng, who had initiated the conversation, and said leisurely, "Prince Yu, this is already your seventh year at the Imperial College. If you can't successfully complete your studies this year, I'm afraid... I'm afraid you won't be able to explain to the Emperor then."

As Bai Yuheng finished speaking, the entire Dizi Ding class fell silent.

Before Hua Qingcheng came to the Imperial College to study, the Second Princess Nalan Wansheng, who had been in the Di Zi Ding class for many years, had always been the "boss" of the Di Zi Ding class. Although her limelight was now tending to be snatched away by Hua Qingcheng, her power was still there after all, and no one dared to laugh at her.

Bai Yuheng cast a sharp glance at Xia Qifeng, Huangfu Yueshan, and Ye Dexian, who immediately lowered their heads, fearing that the conflict would be drawn into them. Although they often spoke without restraint, they were also wary of Bai Yuheng, the famously strict painting instructor at the Imperial College.

Hua Qingcheng, who had seen everyone's reactions to her jokes, let out a mocking smile. She slowly rose from her seat and generously apologized to Bai Yuheng, "Master Bai, I'm so sorry. I haven't been resting well lately, and I couldn't help but doze off. It's not that your lectures were bad."

Bai Yuheng looked at her sincere expression and his expression eased a little.

"Sit down and be more careful next time."

Seeing this, Nalan Wansheng and others could only shut their mouths.

"Ding ding ding", at noon, the morning school bell of the Imperial College rang on time, and students walked out of the classroom one after another.

Just as Hua Qingcheng was about to leave the classroom, Bai Yuheng called her, "My Lady, after lunch, come to Jinyi Hall for extra lessons."

After saying that, Bai Yuheng turned around and left the classroom of Class D with his books in his arms, leaving Hua Qingcheng, feeling upset, standing there in a daze for a moment.

After leaving the classroom and Mingde Building, Hua Qingcheng headed towards the front yard. She secretly wondered which of her husbands would bring her lunch this afternoon...

"Sister Qingcheng!"

"Sister Qingcheng!"

When passing by Yuxiu Tower, Feng Qiyan called her.

"Hehe, you little guy seems to have grown a little taller." Hua Qingcheng raised her hand and gently pulled Feng Qiyan's double buns, and was immediately met with clapping of protest from the other party.

"I'm nine years old now, not an eight-year-old kid anymore. The dragons and phoenixes in your East Palace are the little ones." Feng Qiyan said very seriously.

Hua Qingcheng couldn't help but smile when she heard this. She cleared her throat and said in a serious tone, "Yes, our Qiyan is no longer an eight-year-old child, but a nine-year-old child."

After saying that, she flicked Feng Qiyan's forehead lightly, then strode away.

"Sister Qingcheng, you are so bad!" Feng Qiyan pouted slightly and said angrily, then trotted to keep up with Hua Qingcheng's pace.

"Xiaotian."

"Single left?"

As soon as Hua Qingcheng and Feng Qiyan walked out of the Imperial College, they saw Yu Xiaotian and Shan Zuo standing next to the East Palace's carriage, driven by Feng Wu.

Hua Qingcheng's gaze fell on Yu Xiaotian, while Feng Qiyan looked at Shan Zuo, who was standing beside him. When she saw Shan Zuo holding the black iron dagger she had given him, Feng Qiyan's lips curled up slightly.

"Is your elder brother in good condition today? Are Longlong and Fengfeng behaving well?" Hua Qingcheng pulled Yu Xiaotian's hand and got into the carriage. While looking through what delicious food the young husband had prepared for her, she asked about Mu Lige and the two children.

"My dear wife, my elder brother is doing well. Longlong and Fengfeng are also very well behaved. They have their nanny to help take care of them. You can rest assured." Yu Xiaotian answered Hua Qingcheng's questions one by one according to Mu Lige's instructions.

"Wife, my brother suddenly wanted to eat osmanthus cake this morning, so I made some. This is for you." After arranging the food, Yu Xiaotian opened a food box and handed the osmanthus cake to Hua Qingcheng.
