Lin Jingyuan yawned as he dragged his feet, and endured the dread of going to school. Looking at the high-spirited Fifth Princess, he said gloomily, “I don’t know what’s so happy about going to school.” He sighed, “You don’t know what you’ve lost.”
Lin Feilu smiled happily with her small school bag on her back, “It’s very fun to go to school. I can read and write, answer questions and solve puzzles, and also make many new friends!”
Lin Jingyuan suddenly woke up, “What new friends? It’s just a bunch of spoiled brats just like me! You better stay far away from them and sit right next to me!”
“…”
You do know yourself very well.
When they arrived at the imperial school, the expressions of the young people dressed in splendid clothes were indeed in dreadful pain. It seemed like the habit of dreading school periods was a disaster that did not change no matter the era nor time.
Since servants could not enter the hall, thus Songyu went into the side hall to await after going up the steps. Lin Jingyuan held Lin Feilu’s hand, his back straight as he glared back at the curious eyes around them, “What are you looking at!”
Compared with the Eldest Prince and Crown Prince, the people were more afraid of the playful and reckless Fourth Prince, and they quickly averted their gazes.
Lin Feilu thought that if he was born in the modern times, he would definitely be a school bully.
News spread quickly among the palaces, and everyone already knew that the Fifth Princess had obtained a royal favor and was granted the permission of entering the imperial school. They had seen the cheerful and adorable little princess who was always hanging around together with the Fourth Prince last year, and had a good impression of her.
It was just a little heartbreaking to see that she was like a hostage held captive by a big bully.
Everyone who studied in the imperial school were all royalties or relatives of the royalty, and some of them were the children of the courtiers who were especially valued by Emperor Lin, but the seats in the school were not arranged according to their status.
The seats at the back of the class were extremely wanted. Except for a few who were extra studious, no one was willing to sit in the front row. For example, Lin Jingyuan and Xi Xingjiang were always in the second row from the last, while Lin Qing and Lin Ting were always in the first row.
It was not yet time for class, the bell had yet to ring, and the hall was buzzing with chatter, just like a classroom after the winter vacation.
As soon as Lin Jingyuan entered, he moved all the things from Xi Xingjiang’s table to the vacant space on the other side. Then he placed Lin Feilu on Xi Xingjiang’s original seat. “You will now sit here!”
Lin Feilu looked around, and she was probably the youngest and shortest in the imperial school. The desks in ancient times were unlike those of the present. They were all low desk tables, and one would kneel on the cushion. She was like a little bundle when she sat down and the desk was almost taller than her, completely blocking her vision.
Lin Jingyuan was very glad, “That’s great, you can eat or sleep as you wish, and the mentor wouldn’t be able to see a thing.”
“…”
This boy is both a school bully and also a hopeless student!!!
Lin Qing who just happened to enter the class from outside, heard everything that transpired. He chided politely, “Don’t fool around! Fifth Sister is all set in her heart to learn, unlike you!”
He knew that his Fifth SIster was eager to learn and was well-read in classic literature. He leaned down and picked up Lin Feilu from the cushion and carried her small school bag. “Come to the front.”
