The whole family is reborn, and their five-year-old child becomes the darling of the entire capital.

"A secret base?" Xiao Yuxi tilted her head, looking at Potato Brother with a puzzled expression.

Mu Yunchen pointed tragically to the ground in front of him and said, "There should have been a few huge rocks here that would have allowed me to climb over this wall, but now they're gone!"

Xiao Yuxi blinked, looked around, tugged at Potato Brother's sleeve, and pointed inside.

"We can drag the table out, put the chair on it, and then we can climb over," Xiao Yuxi said earnestly.

Mu Yunchen's eyes suddenly lit up. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he grabbed Xixi's hand and ran into the house, handing her a chair, "You carry this lighter one."

After saying that, he used all his strength to lift the wooden table and carried it, panting, to the wall.

Xiao Yuxi had only taken a dozen or so steps with the stool she was pulling when she looked at Brother Potato with a pitiful expression.

Mu Yunchen ran over, hoisted a stool onto his shoulder, and quickly ran over to set it up. He then climbed up the wall using both hands and feet, sat down, and looked at the table below the wall with a headache.

Xiao Yuxi ran over, looked up at him, and tentatively climbed onto the table, mimicking his posture.

Mu Yunchen's eyes flickered slightly, and she said with a smile, "Xixi, Sister Xi, can we talk about something?"

Xiao Yuxi tilted her head, looking somewhat puzzled.

"I'll go out first today. You put the table and chairs back. If the teacher asks, just say I didn't come today."

"My aunt said we can't lie to the teacher!" Xixi was very obedient!

"Okay then, when the teacher asks about me, just shake your head. I won't let you lie. Be good, and remember to put the table back in its original place." Mu Yunchen blinked and disappeared from Xiao Yuxi's sight.

"Who wants to come to class when they're already an adult? He doesn't want to!"

Xiao Yuxi stood blankly on the table, looking in the direction where Brother Potato had disappeared. She remained quiet for a long time before slowly climbing down from the table.

Then, he used both hands to drag the chair down and pulled it forcefully into the house.

"Miss Mu."

As Xiao Yuxi was walking forward, she suddenly felt an obstacle blocking her path. She stopped, puzzled, and slowly raised her face, looking at the person blocking her way with a confused expression.

Xiao Yuxi felt that the woman looked familiar; she seemed to be the older sister who had been standing next to Yan Shanshan at the plum blossom viewing banquet that day…

I think her name is Ning something.

Oh, Ning Xiaohe.

"Is there anything I can help you with, sister?" The Imperial Academy has always prohibited children from bringing maids and servants, so those who enter the Imperial Academy are all children from prominent families.

Yesterday, Fengyue's godmother taught her to be kind to others and not to tolerate others causing trouble first.

She remembered it clearly.

Ning Xiaohe's lips curled into a slight smile. She secretly rejoiced; after all, the third daughter of the Mu family was only a concubine's daughter, of low status, and had no chance of entering the Imperial Academy. Recalling the trick she had secretly played on her last time, she wondered if this person still hadn't realized who was plotting against her behind her back.

"What are you... moving a chair?" Ning Xiaohe looked at the wooden table against the wall with a puzzled expression, then shifted her gaze to the little girl's small hand tightly gripping the wooden chair, becoming even more curious.

Xiao Yuxi nervously gripped the wooden chair in her hands, hesitated slightly, then nodded vigorously, subconsciously covering for Potato Brother, "Yes, it was Xixi who moved it."

Seemingly afraid that Ning Xiaohe would continue to press for answers, Xiao Yuxi quickly spoke again, "That wooden table was also moved by Xixi!"

Ning Xiaohe watched her struggling to move the wooden chair and said with a smile, "No need to move it. Although the Imperial Academy does not allow servants, there are already people serving here. Let them move it."

Xiao Yuxi blinked and immediately put the chair down.

Xi Xi is so tired.

Ning Xiaohe looked at Xiao Yuxi, whose expression was written all over her face, and chuckled softly, asking seemingly casually, "Is the Third Miss from the plum blossom banquet still being punished with confinement?"

Third Sister?

Xiao Yuxi thought about it carefully and realized that it seemed to be the daughter of the aunt who always followed behind her grandmother.

"She didn't come when my second sister went to war; she must still be in solitary confinement, right?"

Of course she couldn't go; she was just a concubine's daughter, what right did she have to see the general off?

Thinking this, Ning Xiaohe smiled even more. She had specially arranged for her family to enroll her in the introductory class in order to gain the trust of this cousin from the Mu family.

Ye Shuyin and Yan Shanshan, those from prestigious families, are not in this primary school. Thinking about it this way, it seems that the right time, place, and people are all in place.

What she needs to do now is to make her adoptive mother see her worth.

Looking at the extremely kind older sister in front of her, Xiao Yuxi felt that something was strange, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.

Seeing her reach out to pull her to class, he obediently took her hand and slowly followed behind her.

Ning Xiaohe was stunned when she stepped into the room. The young prince was sitting there quietly, wearing a golden python robe, reading a book attentively.

Ning Xiaohe was somewhat surprised; she had never imagined she would see the young prince here.

No wonder her mother was so eager to facilitate the change of classes when she mentioned it to her; it turned out that the Crown Prince was involved.

Ning Xiaohe looked at Xiao Yuxi with a somewhat subtle expression. This time, the emperor suddenly said that he would personally lead the expedition. Perhaps the empress dowager in the palace was thinking about how to tie the Mu family to the royal family again?

The young prince heard the sound and looked towards Xiao Yuxi.

He was a crown prince in name only; if the emperor returned safely, he would be dealt with as quickly as possible.

If the emperor doesn't return, he will only become a puppet emperor of the empress dowager.

He will never have any chance of gaining real power.

So he always pretended to be weak and stupid in front of the Empress Dowager, just in order to survive smoothly.

If we're talking about his early education, his mother had specifically taught him when she was still alive. However, after his father passed away and his older brothers died one after another, Song Qiyuan inexplicably ascended the throne.

Meanwhile, the concubines in the palace who had offended the Empress Dowager all died suddenly for various reasons. Among them was his mother.

The Mu family was the biggest contributor to Song Qiyuan's ascension to the throne.

If he wants to save his life and maintain his position, he must have a powerful patron to rely on.

However, he was restricted in every way in the palace and could not contact anyone. The only person he could contact was this cousin from the Mu family.

Moreover, the Empress Dowager was very happy to let him have contact with her.

The young prince walked up to Xiao Yuxi with a wooden box and handed it to her. "Little sister Yuxi, Her Majesty the Empress asked me to take good care of you. This is a pen holder that I carved myself. See if you like it."

Xiao Yuxi glanced at the pen holder in his hand, then at her own little bag. Yesterday, Brother Xiao Xian made her a jade pen holder.

After thinking for a moment, Xiao Yuxi accepted the gift with both hands and said in a soft, sweet voice, "Thank you, Crown Prince Brother."
