Bai Zhi'er bit into a pastry, her soft voice very childish, yet the words she spoke were like those of a little adult.
She hummed: "I should have never agreed to find study companions when I was young! Always having to mediate the little friends' conflicts, Zhi Bao is so tired!"
Qingmei couldn't help but let out a low giggle.
She whispered, "Princess, you're still young, if you don't like them, I'll speak to the Emperor about it when it's over."
Bai Zhi'er patted the crumbs off her small hands: "No rush, let's see how it goes. I don't have anyone to play with usually anyway, might as well pass the time!"
Just then, Guan Yue let out a short shriek from behind.
"Ah! I just finished writing, what are you doing!"
Bai Zhi'er turned around and saw Guan Yue gave Liu Yingnan a shove.
Liu Yingnan was forced to sit on the ground, her thin face full of panic.
She stammered an apology: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
