The nuns set down their pens and watched, Bai Li's eyes neither avoided nor conceded, while Zhu Lingyun's gaze gradually faltered.
Zhu Lingyun turned her face aside, stubbornly clutching the green words in her hand: "Sister, when we were having vegetarian meals earlier, there were clearly seats available, but she deliberately didn't let us sit. She insisted that we wait until they were done eating before we could eat. Now I'm steward, what's wrong with having her write me green words?"
Bai Li stared at Zhu Lingyun: "Father taught us, do not impose upon others what you do not wish for yourself."
Zhu Lingyun hesitated on how to respond, as the nun Du Miao rose to support her: "Princess Bai Li, do you know why this nun was banished to Jingyang Palace?"
Zhu Lingyun asked puzzledly, "Why?"
