2. [Task Completed]
Jin Lanyue circled around the princess, counting on her fingers.
The princess looked just like her—she had eyes, a nose, a mouth, two hands, and two feet… well, the princess was complete.
So she reached out her arms and hugged the princess.
The two little bundles of joy were pressed together like that, and the princess looked at her in shock: "W-what are you doing?"
“I want to be your friend,” Jin Lanyue said earnestly as she let go of her. “We will become very, very good friends in the future.”
She couldn't understand some of what the strange voice was saying, but she did understand the words "close friend".
Her mother had told her that a close friend is a very, very good friend.
[Task Completed]
Amidst the blood-red rain, you stitched up the princess's body, carried her to the burial ground you had chosen for yourself, and laid her to rest.
At this moment, you are in unbearable pain, and the flames of revenge burn in your heart. You vow that you will make your enemy pay for this pain a thousandfold, no matter the cost.
[Reward Awarded: Mastery of Early Learning Knowledge (Literature Edition)]
The voice started saying strange things again.
Can't understand.
Jin Lanyue shook her head and looked at the princess in front of her.
To show her sincerity, she decided to give her her favorite gift.
She took one last, reluctant look at the pastry box, then handed it to the princess: "You can have all my pastries!"
"Who wants to befriend you..." The princess's voice grew softer and softer, and finally she turned her head and took the pastry box. "Alright, for the sake of how delicious it is, I'll reluctantly agree."
"Great! You're the first friend Yue'er has ever made!" Jin Lanyue happily took the princess's hand. "From now on, I'll share all my delicious food with you!"
"Hmph, I'm a princess, I don't need you to share with me," the princess said haughtily. "I should be the one sharing with you."
“Okay,” Jin Lanyue nodded, “From now on, you give me half, and I’ll give you half.”
The two little bundles of joy, one tall and one short, held hands. The princess looked down at Jin Lanyue, who was a head shorter than her, and all she could see was her fluffy head.
She instinctively reached out to touch it, but stopped halfway through, displaying a reserved demeanor.
No, she's a noble little princess! She needs to carefully observe this new study companion!
However……
Jin Lanyue blinked, watching her movements.
Then, she suddenly realized.
"Do you want to touch me?" She happily leaned her head closer. "Touch me, you can touch me..."
Her parents and brothers all love to pat her head!
Now the little princess is her friend, and the princess can pat her head!
The princess unexpectedly touched her little head.
With soft, fluffy hair, Jin Lanyue's eyes curved like crescent moons, and her smile was sweet. She looked adorable and harmless.
picture……
The little princess touched it again instinctively.
Like some kind of soft, squishy little animal cub.
"So cute..." Even though it was also a dumpling, the big dumpling couldn't help but exclaim this to the little dumpling.
"What are you doing?!"
A cold shout came, and the two little dumplings were startled.
Jin Lanyue's big eyes widened suddenly. She turned her head and saw a fierce-looking person striding towards them.
He shouted, "Both of you are late on the very first day of school! Do you want a spanking?!"
Slap, slap the palm?
Jin Lanyue trembled and subconsciously took small steps to the princess's side, clutching her clothes with her little hands: "We...we're not going to get beaten, are we?"
But before the princess could answer, that strange voice echoed in her mind once again—
You have once again encountered Qu Zijin, the tutor who instructed you and the princess.
You never imagined that this person, who had always despised you and the princess, would ultimately choose to stand by your side without hesitation when you were at your lowest point, repeatedly petitioning on your behalf.
He believed in your innocence and that the princess was framed—but it was all in vain. It was futile; all his efforts were futile and only brought him death.
He was sentenced to immediate execution. You saw him, barely alive, in the prison van transporting the criminals.
You've made a rebellious decision—you're going to storm the execution ground and save him!
[Mission: Rescue Qu Zijin from the execution ground.]

[Reward: Amulet (can block one fatal attack)]
Huh? Is this adult also her friend?
But he looks so fierce.
But it sounds so pitiful...
Before Jin Lanyue could even process what was happening, she heard the sounds of arguing—
The princess glared angrily at Qu Zijin: "I'm a princess! What right do you have to tell us what to do?!"
Even when facing a five-year-old child, Qu Zijin argued firmly: "I am the Grand Tutor, how can I not control you?"
"I'll have my father replace you tomorrow!"
"Ridiculous! His Majesty's words are law, and the imperial edict has been issued. How can it be changed so easily?"
"What are you babbling about? I can't understand a word!"
Jin Lanyue looked at this person and then at that person, her little mouth opening and closing several times as if she wanted to mediate the fight but couldn't get a word in edgewise.
She watched helplessly as the Grand Tutor grew angrier and angrier, and a terrifying ruler was raised in his hand.
She was so nervous that she stomped her feet on the spot.
Stop arguing!
Finally, the argument ended with Qu Zijin shouting angrily: "What kind of behavior is this! As a princess, you have no respect for your teachers, you are willful and capricious, and you have no manners whatsoever..."
"I told you I don't understand!" The little princess said smugly, hands on her hips. "Anyway, you can't argue with me, hmph."
Jin Lanyue, standing beside the princess, felt her heart pounding and couldn't help but poke her with her little hand: "Th-that..."
He couldn't win an argument with the little princess, but...
He could slap our hands!
On the other side, Qu Zijin closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
It's like a scholar encountering a soldier—you can't reason with him.
He repeatedly warned himself not to argue with a five-year-old child. When he opened his eyes again, he saw the shorter little dumpling trying to tug at the princess, struggling to stand on tiptoe to whisper to her.
"And you?" he asked abruptly.
Jin Lanyue shuddered, nervously turning to look at Qu Zijin, and said with a fawning smile, "Grand Tutor... what are you babbling about..."
Oh no, I'm so nervous I can't even speak properly!
Jin Lanyue silently shed tears in her heart.
"What I mean is, do you think the same way as the princess?"
"Of course, just like me!" The princess protectively shielded Jin Lanyue behind her. "Don't threaten her. If you have the guts, come at me!"
"Let her say it herself!"
"Letting her say it herself is the same!"
The two of them turned to look at Jin Lanyue.
Jin Lanyue... Jin Lanyue's mind went blank.
