Back in the palace, Bai Lingling got off the carriage and left without a word. Bai Jinjin chuckled and turned to Ye Jiuge and said, "Well, I guess she probably won't come back to bother you for a long time?"

Ye Jiuge laughed silently and covered his mouth with his slender fingers, making a muffled sound.

"Thank you so much, Jinjin. You saved me from some trouble."

Hearing this, the girl raised her chin proudly and said without any modesty, "That's right. After all the trouble we've had today, I don't believe Bai Lingling would still have the nerve to come to you."

He turned around and walked out. Seeing Ye Jiuge still standing there, he waved at him and said, "Brother Ye, where are you and what are you doing now?"

What else could Ye Jiuge say? He could only follow silently to help digest his food. When Bai Jinjin took the lead in pushing open the door of Ye Jiuge's palace, he happened to see Qingfeng and Lou Jingyue in the middle, both of them looking at each other awkwardly.

Qingfeng looked Bai Jinjin up and down and said sarcastically, "Your Highness, Princess, you still haven't remembered that you should knock on the door before entering someone else's palace."

This matter happened once, and Bai Jinjin would not let Qingfeng bully her a second time. She could pretend that she didn't know the first time, but this time she was definitely looking for trouble.

Ye Jiuge had just walked to the door of his palace when he heard Bai Jinjin say, "You'd better watch your words. You are now on the land of Qin State. This is the Qin State's palace. There is no place in this palace that I, Bai Jinjin, cannot go to!"

Bai Jinjin looked at Qingfeng with sharp eyes, and the latter was also shocked by her eyes.

"This Qingfeng is warning you. I am the treasure held in the palm of my father's hand. You cannot scold me at will. Ye Jiuge didn't say anything, so why are you barking like a dog?"

Qingfeng was speechless until Ye Jiuge appeared from behind Bai Jinjin. Only then did Qingfeng bow to Ye Jiuge and say, "Your Highness."

Ye Jiuge ignored her and walked straight into the room. Qingfeng's face turned green and she stood there in a daze. When Bai Jinjin passed by her, she snorted coldly but didn't say anything else.

Lou Jingyue sighed and walked forward to pat Qingfeng on the shoulder.

"Qingfeng, don't be so against the Ninth Princess. She is right. If she really wanted to target us, we would have been imprisoned by now."

Qingfeng then realized what he had done. He almost sent Lou Jingyue and himself to jail. Qingfeng's face turned pale in an instant.

"Miss, she won't tell the Emperor of Qin about this, right?"

Lou Jingyue shook her head and said, "No, if she really wanted to, I wouldn't be in the prince's palace."

Qingfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Lou Jingyue say this, and followed Lou Jingyue into the room with some trepidation.

Bai Jinjin was drinking milk tea in the room. She was really impressed by the food at Yu Shi Lou. The food was delicious, but why was it always so salty? Thinking of this, she took another sip of milk tea.

Ye Jiuge saw Qingfeng coming in a little nervously, and looked at her with empty eyes but a smile on his face.

"Qingfeng, do you know you are wrong?"

Seeing this, Lou Jingyue placed it in front of Qingfeng, cupped her fist towards Bai Jinjin and said, "Your Highness, Qingfeng's words offended you. Please forgive me."

Bai Jinjin was still angry. She snorted coldly and turned her head away. She would not accept it. Qingfeng did not have the mindset of a maid at all. She responded to Lou Jingyue in a sarcastic tone.

"I dare not ask Miss Lou to apologize to me. If I ever behave unruly like today and get ridiculed and scolded again, I will not be able to bear it."

As soon as Ye Jiuge heard this, he knew that Bai Jinjin was not really angry, she just wanted to teach Qingfeng a lesson, so he no longer cared about the matter. Even though Lou Jingyue looked at him as if asking for help, Ye Jiuge remained indifferent.

Qingfeng saw that Lou Jingyue actually apologized in person on her behalf, and her eyes were full of guilt. It was all because of her that she made me, the young lady, grovel before this princess. She stepped forward, lowered her head to Bai Jinjin, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, Princess Nine. Qingfeng was rude."

Bai Jinjin had been waiting for Qingfeng to speak. Seeing her apologize, she calmly put down her teacup, leaned back in her chair, and said lazily, "I didn't hear what you were mumbling about."

Qingfeng's temples were throbbing as he spoke in a louder voice, "Qingfeng was rude! Please forgive me, Princess!"

After hearing what she wanted to hear, Bai Jinjin rubbed her ears and said calmly, "I heard it, but there's no need to shout so loudly."

But don't push me too far. Qingfeng is so fun that my future life won't be boring. Qingfeng's eyes were red with anger but he said nothing.

Lou Jingyue frowned and said to Bai Jinjin, "Since Qingfeng has already apologized, please don't hold it against me, Your Highness."

Seeing that Bai Jinjin had almost finished playing, Ye Jiuge said calmly, "Didn't I tell my cousin to go back? Why are you still in the capital?"

Lou Jingyue looked at Bai Jinjin awkwardly. Bai Jinjin understood immediately, raised her hand, shrugged, and said, "I understand. I can't listen to the next topic, right? I'm leaving."

As she stood up and was about to leave, Ye Jiuge grabbed her hand and pressed her down on the chair. He looked at Lou Jingyue and said, "Cousin, just say whatever you want to say. There's no need to avoid mentioning Princess Nine."

Hearing this, Lou Jingyue knew she had lost the battle, so she forced a smile and said, "It's not a big deal. I suddenly thought of a solution. No need to talk about it."

Ye Jiuge nodded and said, "Since you have nothing else to do, please go back, cousin. I need to rest."

He just asked Lou Jingyue and Qingfeng to leave but didn't let Bai Jinjin go out. How could Lou Jingyue not understand such different treatment? She could only leave Ye Jiuge's room with a pale face.

After the two walked away, Bai Jinjin looked at Ye Jiuge mysteriously and said, "Brother Ye, I felt it last time. This Miss Lou seems to like you very much."

Ye Jiuge really didn’t know what was going on in this little girl’s head every day, so he could only explain to her his relationship with Lou Jingyue.

"Ms. Lou's full name is Lou Jingyue, and she's my cousin."

Bai Jinjin nodded to show that she understood. This was called "Sister Out of Nowhere". She was also confused as to how these two people got in.

"Brother Ye, they returned the badge to me, so how did they get in?"

Ye Jiuge looked at her mysteriously and smiled without saying anything.

The girl pouted and said, "Well, then it's not good to go without telling me. I'll tell my father to strengthen the security in the palace."

Even though Bai Jinjin could be considered a half-threat to Ye Jiuge, Ye Jiuge just smiled and said nothing.
