"Others go so early, it's not good for us to go late. We wouldn't want others to think that we're taking advantage of the royal power." Xiao Bei said with a grin.
Song Xi chuckled, "Don't worry, even if you do rely on the royal power, no one dares to say anything to you."
Looking at him, Xiao Chai Huo asked, "When are you planning to earn your official rank?"
Song Xi shrugged, "I'm not in a hurry. I'm not you."
His tone carried a hint of schadenfreude.
Xiao Chai Huo gave him a chilly glance, ignoring him.
Ah Guai, somewhat puzzled, tugged Xiao Chai Huo's sleeve, "Uncle Xiao Nan is leaving. Mother asked me to tell Uncle Xiao Nan to study hard and aim for the scholar's exam three years from now."
Xiao Chai Huo patted her head, "I know."
Only then did Ah Guai break into a smile, "When you visit next time, remember to bring me some candy figurines."
Then she lowered her voice, "But keep it a secret."
