Chapter 930: Chapter 930: Don’t Bully Girls

Yun Jiao had no choice but to coax her, "Stay away from them in the future. However, if they go too far, tell the tutor."

"And don’t just casually start fights with others."

Ruru nodded, "But I made a friend today too."

Yun Jiao laughed, "Is it the Third Princess?"

Ruru nodded, "The Third Princess is so pretty. She can also kick shuttlecock, and I like playing with her."

"But there’s also a brother. When the Fourth Prince was being a nuisance, that brother told him off, telling him not to bully girls."

Yun Jiao asked with a smile, "Who is the brother? What’s his name?"

Ruru shook her head, "I don’t know."

"But the brother is also good-looking. To thank him, I gave him one of the leaf vein bookmarks that sister-in-law made yesterday. He really liked it."

Yun Jiao pulled Ruru into her embrace, "Hmm, that’s nice."

"Ruru needs to understand that in this world, no matter where you are, there will always be people you like and people you dislike, so Ruru must learn how to deal with both kinds of people."

She gave Ruru a kiss, "Ruru is already doing very well."

The next day, Ruru returned home quite happily.

"Sister-in-law, I found out what that brother’s name is. He’s Xie Heng, Grand Tutor Xie’s grandson."

Yun Jiao felt relieved upon hearing that he wasn’t a Prince.

Ruru continued, "Brother Xie Heng asked me how the leaf vein bookmark is made. He wants to make one himself."

"I told him I don’t know, it’s sister-in-law who makes them."

Yun Jiao said, "You tell Brother Xie Heng tomorrow, when you have a day off, he can come here, and I’ll show him how to make it."

Since Xie Heng helped Ruru, she naturally wanted to be kind to this child. Ruru should have a few friends in the palace so she won’t get bullied.

Ruru happily replied, "Great, great, I’ll learn together too."

Early the next morning, Ruru went to the Royal Academy again.

The Royal Academy is set in the east of the Imperial Palace. Several palaces here were originally prepared for the future Crown Prince. Now without a Crown Prince, His Majesty designated one of the courtyards here as the academy for Princes and Princesses.

The Eldest, Second, Third, and Fourth Princes can attend school—Fifth Prince is only two years old, and Sixth Prince is still nursing, neither can attend school.

There are three Princesses: the Eldest Princess born to Consort Xian, who is eleven; the Second Princess born to Lady, who is ten; and then the Third Princess born to the Empress.

Xie Heng is the Second Prince’s study companion. As soon as Ruru entered, she went straight to Xie Heng’s seat, smiling brightly, "Brother Xie Heng, my sister-in-law said when we have a day off, you can come to our house, she’ll teach you how to make leaf vein bookmarks."

As they were talking, the Fourth Prince passed by, stretching out his hand to tug at the silk ribbon tied with pearls on Ruru’s head.

Ruru’s head jerked back from the pull, her eyes widened, and she turned angrily to look at the Fourth Prince.

The Fourth Prince looked provocatively at Ruru and reached out to tug at another ribbon on her head.

Xie Heng stood up, grabbed the Fourth Prince’s wrist, and said calmly, "How many times have I told you, don’t bully girls."

"Do you want to be punished to write lines again?"

The Fourth Prince impatiently flung away his hand, "What does this have to do with you? Don’t think just because you’re taller than me that I’ll be afraid of you."

"Just try not to tattle to Grand Tutor Xie!"

As soon as the words fell, Ruru’s little fist landed on the Fourth Prince’s face.

It’s well known that Ruru’s martial arts talent is more terrifying than Lady Wu’s. Qi Er is more than a year older than her, but when they practice together, Qi Er often can’t beat Ruru.
