"Third Eunuch, you must tell His Majesty that the princess cannot be allowed to develop the habit of skipping classes!!"
"Don't worry, Grand Tutor Situ, it won't happen."
"well"
"Grand Tutor Situ, His Majesty sent the princess to the palace school primarily hoping she would make friends and have a good time. Her studies are secondary. However, the princess is only three years old now, and the minimum age for formal students at the palace school is five."
Situ Junwen was very dissatisfied with Sanhezi.
"This servant takes his leave."
After Sanhezi finished speaking, he left the palace school.
Hiding behind the door, Bai Tangyan and Qin Jingke heard that Xiao Xi'er wasn't coming to the palace school today, and the two of them walked dejectedly to their seats.
"Young Miss, what's wrong? Why do you look so worried first thing in the morning?"
You wouldn't understand even if I told you.
How am I supposed to understand if you don't tell me?
"..."
Bai Tangyan didn't want to talk to Wei Yuanxuan anymore, so she climbed onto the table.
Seeing that Bai Tangyan was ignoring him, Wei Yuanxuan turned his attention to Qin Jingke.
"Fifth Prince, what happened between you and Bai Tangyan?"
"The Third Eunuch just told Grand Tutor Situ that my sister won't be coming to the palace school today."
After saying that, Qin Jingke turned around, looked for his textbook, and waited for the teacher to start the lesson.
Wei Yuanxuan then turned to look at Fang Zixu, who was absent, clicked his tongue, and slumped onto the table.
Wei Yuanxuan had barely slumped onto the table when he saw Bai Tangzhi outside the window and poked her with his finger.
"What are you doing? Don't touch me!!!"
"Young Miss, please don't be so agitated. Look, that's your sister."
Bai Tangyan heard Wei Yuanxuan's words and looked out, only to see Bai Tangzhi and Qi Sinan talking.
Qi Sinan also handed Bai Tangzhi something.
A short while later, Qi Sinan left, and Bai Tangzhi returned. Bai Tangyan looked at Bai Tangzhi with a gossipy expression.
"Xiao Zhi, what did Prince Qi just give you?"
"..."
"Turn off that gossipy look in your eyes!"
Bai Tangzhi felt quite helpless seeing Bai Tangyan's gossipy gaze.
"Xiaozhi, I'm really curious. You two aren't even that close. Why did he give you that?"
Bai Tangyan braced herself against the table and leaned towards Bai Tangzhi.
Bai Tangzhi took the pearl hairpin in her hand and placed it on Bai Tangyan's table.
"He actually gave you a beaded flower?!"
Why does this beaded flower look old?
"Don't you think she looks familiar, young lady?"
Wei Yuanxuan, who was sitting behind Bai Tangyan, also came over to join in the fun. Seeing the beaded flowers on the table and remembering Bai Tangyan's attire yesterday, he started talking.
"You know what, now that Wei Yuanxuan mentioned it, it really does look familiar."
Bai Tangzhi fell silent, unsure of what to say.
"Young Miss, this is your hair ornament. You wore it in your hair yesterday. Have you forgotten?"
"mine?"
Upon hearing Wei Yuanxuan's words, Bai Tangyan pointed to the beaded hairpin on the table, picked it up in disbelief, and looked at it, remembering the beaded hairpin she had worn yesterday.
"Okay, it really is mine."
"How did your hairpin end up with Prince Qi?"
Wei Yuanxuan asked the question that had been on his mind.
How would I know?
"Yesterday before we left, Yan'er and you were playing around, and the pearl hairpin fell off. We were both in the carriage leaving at that time, so he picked it up. This morning when he saw me, he gave it to me and asked me to give it to Yan'er."
"So that's how it is."
"You're really absent-minded; you didn't even notice your pearl hairpin fell out."
Upon hearing what Bai Tangzhi said, Wei Yuanxuan understood and then turned to look at Bai Tangyan.
"Hmph, isn't that all because of you?"
"Why is it my fault again?"
"Didn't you say yesterday that my clothes were covered in watermelon juice and didn't look good?"
Isn't that the truth?
"How dare you say that?!"
Bai Tangyan slapped Wei Yuanxuan, who was standing next to him, across the back.
"Cough cough... Can't you be a little gentler? A little more tender?"
"Want some gentleness? Sure—"
Bai Tangyan twirled his wrist and looked at Wei Yuanxuan with a friendly smile.
Upon seeing Bai Tangyan's chilling expression, Wei Yuanxuan immediately ran away, but Bai Tangyan wasn't about to let him escape. She gave chase.
Bai Tangzhi smiled when she saw the two of them start playing around again, and stood next to her seat watching them.
——————
Xiao Xi'er from the Hall of Mental Cultivation has finally woken up.
Rubbing his glasses, he stumbled outside and saw Qin Jue eating. He ran straight to Qin Jue's legs and hugged them.
"Daddy, I want to eat too!"
Chunhe gave Qin Jue an outer robe, which Qin Jue then put on Xiao Xi'er.
After giving Xiaoxi'er the warm water that Xiaju brought over, he started to give her flavors.
"Did you wake up to the smell of food?"
Hmm...maybe.
So, he got up without putting on shoes.
Upon hearing Qin Jue's words, Xiao Xi'er stopped eating and hid her toes behind her back.
"Still hiding it, or I'll see?"
"We've already seen it."
"hey-hey"
Hearing Qin Jue's words, Xiao Xi'er simply stopped hiding and even picked up her foot to tap Qin Jue's other leg.
"You really don't hold back."
"Laughing"
"You're my father, why should I be so polite?"
"Yes, remember, I will always be your father, and you never need to be polite with your father."
"Uh-huh"
After Qin Jue finished feeding Xiao Xi'er, he carried her to the bedroom inside and changed her clothes.
While changing clothes, Qin Jue noticed that Xiao Xi'er had bruises all over her wrist.
