She dug out another piece of jerky from another pouch. “And this is also made by Sister MO Yuan. Her jerky is the best.”

The sweet taste spread in her mouth. Xiao Ruoshui pinched a piece of jerky and muttered, “Forget it, I forgive you.”

Little Jiajia covered her mouth and giggled. She untied the two bulging pouches. Just as Xiao Ruoshui thought that she was going to give them to her, she turned around and stuffed the two pouches into Song Jingchen’s hand. “Studying takes a lot of brainpower and makes you hungry easily. These are all for you.”

Xiao Ruoshui was speechless. What kind of candy was this? It was so sour. She couldn’t forgive this. She definitely couldn’t forgive this!

“I’m focused on studying. How can I…” Song Jingchen wanted to teach her a lesson with a straight face, but when he met the little girl’s eyes that reflected his image, he couldn’t say anything harsh. “Forget it, I’ll help you keep it for now. I’ll return it to you later.”

“There’s no need to return it to me. Sister MO Yuan was afraid that I’ll be hungry, so she made a lot.” As if afraid that he wouldn’t believe her, Little Jiajia took out three similar pouches.

They were dressed thickly in the winter, so it was impossible to tell anything from the outside even if she stuffed a few more pouches.

Song Jingchen was speechless.

Putting aside the fact that men and women studied different things, there were two different classrooms in the palace.

The men’s classroom was in Mingde Court, which was close to the royal court, while the women’s classroom was in Huilan Court, which was right next to the harem.

Song Jingchen frowned as he watched the sedan chair carry Little Jiajia towards the back palace.

He felt that he was not the kind of person who liked to poke his nose into other people’s business. Apart from his blood relatives, he could even be considered cold to others. However, for some reason, he kept making exceptions when facing this little girl.

If it was someone else who clung to him like her, he would have thrown her out on the first day. There wouldn’t have been anything else after that.

“Your Highness, are we leaving?” The young eunuch carrying the palanquin asked carefully.

Song Jingchen lowered his eyes and tried his best to ignore the inexplicable worry in his heart. He said calmly, “Let’s go.”

The sedan chair stopped at the entrance of Huilan Court. Palace maids were waiting there to bring the two of them to the spacious and bright classroom.

There were eight tables for two in the classroom. The tables were very short and were divided into two columns. There were four rows.

Apart from the table on the left of the first row, which was only occupied by one person, and a table in the last row, which was empty, the rest of the seats were already filled.

As soon as the two of them appeared, everyone in the classroom looked over.

The self-proclaimed bold Xiao Ruoshui was inexplicably a little nervous. The people sitting here were either royal relatives like princesses or noble ladies from noble families. With the current status of the Xiao family, they were far from being able to reach this level. Moreover, her father was a general, and her usual circle of friends did not include these people.

Little Jiajia didn’t think too much about it. She brought Xiao Ruoshui straight to the last row.

When she passed by the first row, she clearly sensed a malicious gaze. She stopped and turned around. It was the noblewoman sitting alone at the long table. She looked a few years older than her.

Liu Siyao didn’t have time to look away. Their eyes met and she turned her head away in a panic.

Little Jiajia tilted her head and walked over. “Who are you?”

She had to know who had ill intentions towards her.

Liu Siyao trembled. She did not expect Little Jiajia to be so direct. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at her.

“Who are you?” Little Jiajia asked again. Her voice was soft, but it sounded like a demonic voice from hell to Liu Siyao.

She had seen the injury on Ling Hui’s face with her own eyes. She heard from her aunt that her face had almost been disfigured.

“She’s Prime Minister Liu’s granddaughter, Liu Siyao, Linghui’s cousin. She’s also Linghui’s study companion. Because Linghui is still grounded, she didn’t come to school.” A gloating voice sounded from behind.

Little Jiajia looked in the direction of the voice. The young lady who spoke stuck out her tongue. “I’m Chang Le. The Eldest Princess is my mother. Princess, you can call me Chang Le.”

Little Jiajia nodded and looked at Liu Siyao in confusion, as if she didn’t understand why she was looking at her like that since she was so timid. “Princess, do you want to sit with me? Let the two of them sit in the back.”

By “them”, Chang Le was referring to Xiao Ruoshui and her own study companion.

“No need. I want to go with Sister Ruoshui.” Little Jiajia refused.

What was so good about sitting in front? It was so close to the Headmaster that it was inconvenient to sleep.

The smile on Chang Le’s face froze and she did not say anything else..
