Bai Yaoyu is the Third Young Master, his father is a Prince, and his uncle is the Emperor.
His status is naturally noble.
Because of his arrival, at the gate of Mingyang Academy, the Master, Second Master, and Third Master along with a group of teachers stood outside to welcome him.
Bai Zhi’er jumped off the carriage with a small book basket made by Qingmei.
Bai Yaoyu followed her down.
Their eyes moved from the delicate little girl to Bai Yaoyu.
"Greetings to the Third Young Master." The Master led the gesture of clasping hands in respect.
Bai Zhi’er’s large spiritual eyes swept over everyone.
She was truly obedient, a tiny figure standing beside Bai Yaoyu, carrying her book basket on her own.
As a result, several masters couldn’t help but cast glances at her repeatedly.
"Your Highness, who is this..." the Master asked respectfully.
Bai Yaoyu recalled his sister’s instructions.
He paused for a moment and said, "This is a child of one of my father’s guests."
"She is at the right age to begin learning, so I brought her to study for a few days."
Uncle, forgive his words, it was all to cooperate with his sister!
Oh, just a guest’s child.
The masters breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, a little child who could stay by the Third Young Master’s side might have an unusual identity!
Suddenly, Bai Zhi’er felt the attention focused on her diminished.
The masters surrounded Bai Yaoyu and walked inside.
Bai Yaoyu originally wanted to hold Bai Zhi’er’s small hand, but the little fellow quietly avoided it.
Bai Zhi’er, with her watery eyes, sent a signal to her silly brother.
Brother is really silly! Can’t hold hands!
Since she’s a guest’s child, how could they be so close!
Mingyang Academy is vast, with a strong scent of books.
Curious students have already gathered in threes and fours under the corridors or in the courtyards, looking in Bai Yaoyu’s direction.
They occasionally whispered, not knowing what they were discussing.
In Mingyang Academy, students are divided into classes of Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow based on age.
At Bai Yaoyu’s age, he should enter the Earth Class for study.
While Bai Zhi’er went to the Yellow Class.
Before they separated, the academy only allowed one master to lead Bai Zhi’er to the Yellow Class.
All others surrounded Bai Yaoyu.
Bai Yaoyu turned his head, watching his sister joyfully follow that master with her little book basket, turning away at the other end of the long corridor.
She didn’t even look back at him.
Bai Yaoyu, who extremely disliked new environments, hesitated for a moment.
It seems that his little sister adapts even faster than he does.
The master led Bai Zhi’er into the Yellow Class.
Here, most were children aged five to eight.
There weren’t many people, only twelve in a class.
Including Bai Zhi’er, it made thirteen.
"Miss, I haven’t asked your last name yet," the master asked Bai Zhi’er, lowering his head.
The little one replied in a childish voice, "My surname is Jing."
As soon as she finished, the whole class burst into laughter.
"Seems like she’s still breastfeeding!"
"She’s too young, probably can’t recognize all words yet."
"Master, why did you accept such a young peer?"
The master gestured for everyone to quiet down.
"This student was brought by the Third Young Master and is a child of a guest from Prince Kang’s Mansion."
"From now on, she will be your fellow student."
After saying this, the master led Bai Zhi’er to her seat.
"Wait a moment, Ma Fuzi will be here soon. Review your books first," the master said and then left.
Immediately, the surrounding classmates started to chat noisily.
They scrutinized Bai Zhi’er.
The little one, as if nothing was happening, took out the prepared ink and Xuan paper.
At this moment, an overbearing female voice sounded beside her.
"Did you come with the Third Young Master? So, are you very close to him?"
