Xue Ganggang, Xue Ningzhi, and the others were still studying at Shengming Academy. Thankfully the Academy was closed today, so they did not have to rush back to the academy… But they did skip their classes yesterday…
This had already become a custom in their family. They would skip class for a day when it was the birthday of anyone in the family.
Fortunately, everyone had witnessed their results and performance in the Academy. Coupled with their status, no one would say anything in private even if they skipped class.
The children were all up, and Xue Shi led the cousins to play eagle-catching the chicks in the courtyard.
Knowing that Prince Shou was lazy, Xue Shi arranged for Prince Shou to be the old hen, protecting a bunch of chicks behind him. In any case, they were trying to get Prince Shou to not be lazy.
Even though this game was already childish for them, they still chose to play it. It was just to kill time.
