Seeing Mo Yunqiu stand up, Bai Jinjin said calmly, "Whatever Mr. Mo thinks I mean, that's what I mean."

Sure enough, Mo Yunqiu's face turned red but he couldn't say a word for a long time. Seeing this, Bai Lingling pulled Mo Yunqiu onto the chair.

"Sister Jin, why are you so aggressive? I just want to remind you that there is a difference between men and women and you should be careful about the boundaries."

Hearing Bai Lingling say this, Bai Jinjin chuckled and said, "I will naturally remember your advice, but shouldn't you pay attention to yourself when you give her advice?"

Mo Yunqiu finally lost his temper and stood up to question Bai Jinjin.

"Her Highness the Ninth Princess heard that you would go to the proton's palace for meals every day, and even had a lot of fun playing with the proton outside the palace."

"Is this the quality a princess should have?"

Before Bai Jinjin could say anything, a cold voice came from the distance, saying, "Mo Yunqiu, you never learn your lesson. If your words get out, you'll be insulting the princess!"

Mo Yunqiu didn't need to turn around to know who it was. He looked at Lin Shuzhan with gritted teeth and said, "Lin Shuzhan, how are you better than me?"

Lin Shuzhan replied with a frosty expression, "Whatever I do, at least I won't openly lose my temper with the princess and insult her reputation! It seems I have to report this matter to the general."

Everyone's eyes were focused on Mo Yunqiu. Bai Jinjin stood near the edge of the pool. Bai Lingling silently approached Bai Jinjin and pretended to slip.

“Ouch!”

Bai Jinjin felt as if she was flying. She stared blankly at the water surface getting closer and closer to her. Her waist suddenly tightened and then Bai Jinjin felt herself back on the ground.

Ye Jiuge looked Bai Jinjin up and down with worry. Bai Jinjin was a little dazed by the shaking and broke free from Ye Jiuge's grip and said, "I'm fine, I just got a fright."

When Bai Lingling saw that she didn't fall into the water, she felt a little regretful that she wouldn't be able to see Bai Jinjin make a fool of herself today.

She wanted to make Bai Jinjin lose face in front of Ye Jiuge. As long as Ye Jiuge could despise her, she would have an opportunity.

"Hey, sister Jin, are you okay? I slipped and almost hurt you. It's my fault."

Bai Jinjin was amazed at Bai Lingling's acting skills. How come her acting skills improved so much suddenly today?

"Sister, please remember to change your shoes. If you accidentally slip, it will be a disaster."

Bai Jinjin probably didn't have much to say today, but there was still a long way to go. Bai Lingling did shudder suddenly.

Lin Shuzhan sneered and said, "Sixth Princess is so powerful that she actually fell onto Ninth Princess from three steps away! Were you pushed by someone?"

Hearing this, Bai Lingling's face turned pale. She forced a smile and said, "What are you talking about, Master Lin? If you fall, who will count the steps?"

Ye Jiuge looked at Bai Lingling fiercely and said, "Fortunately, I caught her in time. If Her Highness the Ninth Princess had fallen into the lake, the Sixth Princess would have been to blame."

Bai Lingling's face turned pale. The lychee-eating incident had nearly cost her her head, but Mo Yunqiu thought Bai Lingling was threatened by Ye Jiuge and said with a threatening look in his eyes, "You're just a hostage from a neighboring country. How can you have a say?"

Bai Jinjin was truly speechless. Wasn't her expression obvious enough? The entire palace knew about her defense of Ye Jiuge. What was wrong with Mo Yunqiu's brain?

"Mo Yunqiu, watch your mouth! Ye Jiuge is my friend, and this is known to the entire palace. How dare you scold the person I'm protecting!"

It was the first time Mo Yunqiu had seen Bai Jinjin's fierce eyes. He was stunned for a moment and wanted to say something, but Bai Jinjin turned her back and said, "From now on, Mo Yunqiu will not set foot in any place in the harem except for the Emperor's Xuanzheng Hall!"

Bai Lingling opened her eyes wide and looked at Bai Jinjin. This was the first time she had seen Bai Jinjin like this. She said, "Sister, this is just a quarrel. Why are you making such a fuss?"

Bai Jinjin felt that she had been patient enough with Bai Lingling. She looked at Bai Lingling with deep eyes and said in a calm tone, "Bai Lingling, do you think that if I don't do anything to you, you will take advantage of me?"

Bai Lingling was so frightened that she didn't dare to move at all. Bai Jinjin like this made her feel unfamiliar.

Ye Jiuge actually liked Bai Jinjin who stood up for him like this, but he just stood aside silently. Bai Jinjin felt that the whole day was just another farce.

"Mr. Mo, please go back. I will punish you one by one for your actions today!"

Then she looked at Bai Lingling and said, "And you, from now on you will be confined to your bedroom for three days! This princess will report this to father!"

No one present had expected that Bai Jinjin would have such a frightening side. The atmosphere was tense. Bai Jinjin took the lead and left the koi pond with Lin Shuzhan and Ye Jiuge.

Mo Yunqiu and Bai Lingling were left behind in silence.

Seeing this, Bai Lingling stepped forward, grabbed Mo Yunqiu's sleeve and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Mo, I've caused you trouble."

After saying this, he sighed. Mo Yunqiu came back to his senses and looked at Bai Lingling, who looked apologetic, and said comfortingly, "Your Highness, it's okay. We can still have a good chat about academic issues in the academy."

Bai Lingling forced a smile and said, "In that case, Lingling will go back to her house arrest. We'll see each other later."

On the other side, Bai Jinjin felt like her lungs were about to explode and kept gasping for breath. Lin Shuzhan, who was standing next to her, could tell at a glance that Bai Jinjin was gasping for breath because of Mo Yunqiu.

"Your Highness, I will tell the general about Mo Yunqiu in detail. Your Highness, don't worry."

Bai Jinjin was not angry about this matter. She was shocked by herself just now. As expected, she scared the two of them with just a casual bluff.

"In that case, thank you, Brother Zhan."

Ye Jiuge had been listening for a long time, and only when he heard the words "Brother Zhan" did he look at Bai Jinjin. The girl's scalp tingled when she saw him looking at her.

He quickly said to Lin Shuzhan, "In that case, please go ahead, Brother Zhan."

After Lin Shuzhan walked away, Bai Jinjin turned around, glared at Ye Jiuge, and said, "Don't be jealous next time! He is my little brother."

Ye Jiuge said with a stiff mouth: "Who is jealous? I would never do such a thing."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jinjin was so angry that she almost lost her temper.

"Since Master Ye isn't jealous, did you squeeze my wrist until it's red and swollen on purpose?"

As he spoke, he showed his wrist, which had already subsided in swelling.
