"Why Qingfeng, this is what Sister Lou bought. Isn't it delicious?"

Ye Jiuge stood up and patted the non-existent dust, "Okay, stop bullying her. Aren't we going to the Zhenguo Mansion? Why don't you hurry up?"

Bai Jinjin immediately jumped up from the stool and walked out first, "Then let's go quickly, we can't delay this."

"Why is this matter so important that it can't be delayed?" Ye Jiuge raised his eyebrows and pressed Bai Jinjin's shoulder with one hand, while wiping the residue from the corner of Bai Jinjin's mouth with the other hand.

Bai Jinjin's expression froze slightly as she hugged Ye Jiuge's arm, trying to get away with it. "Oh, it's getting late, let's go quickly."

As the two walked away, Qingfeng looked at the sun hanging high in the sky. He took a bite of his cake and mumbled, "Her excuse is really lame, isn't it?"

Lou Jingyue took a sip of tea and smiled: "The reason is not important, what matters is that someone believes in her."

Seeing Ye Jiuge pretending to be ignorant even though he knew the truth, it was obvious that he was enjoying it. Since he was willing to believe it, what else was there to say?

Qingfeng nodded in agreement, thinking that what he said made sense. He then sat down on a chair next to Lou Jingyue and drank tea together. The years were quiet and good, but it was a little sunny.

Bai Jinjin already had a rough outline of a plan, but she just wanted to bring Mo Yunqiu along. After all, his father had made him her bodyguard, so there was no other way but to call him. It was just a formality.

Ye Jiuge, who was standing by, looked at the pensive Bai Jinjin and suddenly said, "You've become very different."

Bai Jinjin was so frightened that she paused and pretended to be calm and asked, "Huh? What's different? I'm still me, right?"

Don't tell her that the original owner had seen Ye Jiuge when he was a child. It seems unlikely that he is from a neighboring country.

Ye Jiuge didn't intend to give up and looked at her with interest. "I had heard of you before I came to this country. Now it seems that you do not just eat and sleep?"

Haha, if the original owner hadn’t choked to death on lychees, it wouldn’t have been her turn.

"Something changed after something happened."

He briefly explained his change, but Ye Jiuge clearly wanted to ask more, "What kind of thing is it?"

Bai Jinjin looked at him seriously, "Of course it's because I almost choked to death on lychees."

Bai Jinjin was not lying. It was because of that damn expensive fruit called lychee. Ye Jiuge raised his eyebrows and his intuition told him not to ask.

Soon we arrived at Bai Jinjin's palace. Why do we have to change clothes in Bai Jinjin's palace every time?

Of course it was because Bai Jinjin wanted to send ordinary people's clothes to Ye Jiuge's palace, but he didn't want them, so he simply came to Bai Jinjin's palace to change every time.

The two of them boarded the carriage and headed for Zhenguo Mansion.

Mo Yunqiu has received the imperial edict from Bai Juncheng. Although he has avoided punishment, he is not without any punishment. If he does not punish, he will release Bai Jinjin's guards.

Butler Zhao, who was standing by, breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the imperial edict and spoke softly, "Master, this punishment is already very light. I am truly grateful to Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess."

Mo Yunqiu clenched the imperial edict tightly. He might as well be punished. Bai Jinjin always held grudges and would definitely take revenge on him. How could this job be so easy to do?

"Grandpa Zhao, I'm hungry, let's have dinner."

Butler Zhao nodded and retreated. Mo Yunqiu had just finished his meal when Xiao Si came in and told him that the Ninth Princess and Ye Jiuge had arrived.

This instantly made Mo Yunqiu stiffen up, and he hummed, "Bring them in."

Soon, Bai Jinjin's chattering voice was heard.

"Wow, Brother Ye, look, there's a bamboo forest over there. Is it for the convenience of digging bamboo shoots?"

"...Is there a bamboo forest that might be used for sword practice?"

“…”

Bai Jinjin was silent. How could the bamboo forest in the general's mansion be for food? She really wanted to slap herself. What nonsense was she talking about?

It's so embarrassing.

Ye Jiuge could accept Bai Jinjin's unconventional thinking. He reached out and rubbed her head. "I don't blame you for thinking of eating. It's good enough that you can come up with something."

Xiao Si, who was leading the way, had red cheeks and was almost at the limit of his endurance. Bai Jinjin rolled his eyes at Ye Jiuge and said, "Yes, yes, you are the best. You can guess everything."

Bai Jinjin glanced and saw Mo Yunqiu standing not far away with a sullen face. A sly look flashed across Bai Jinjin's eyes. Ye Jiuge tapped her forehead with his folding fan and said, "Don't go too far."

"Oh, don't worry, I wouldn't have any bad intentions, right?"

Mo Yunqiu, who was not far away, shuddered. Seeing Bai Jinjin approaching him, he said in a stiff tone, "Greetings, Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess."

Bai Jinjin ignored him and walked past him to the back, sitting on the stone bench. "Mr. Mo, you are too polite. I came here to see your family laugh, and before anything happened. I can't bear it."

Mo Yunqiu's face darkened when he heard this. This vengeful woman knew this was the beginning of the story. "I was wrong to doubt the princess's good intentions. Please don't take it to heart, Your Highness."

"It just so happens that this princess has to make a fuss about it. This princess hasn't done many good things, but she also knows what is important and what is not. I came to help the Zhenguo Mansion only for the sake of the Zhenguo General's face."

Mo Yunqiu did not refute Bai Jinjin's words because she saved the face of the Zhenguo Mansion. He just lowered his head and remained silent.

"Also, you haven't learned a thing from the General, yet you act so recklessly in the court! Do you really think your father won't kill you?"

Ye Jiuge, who was standing by, saw Bai Jinjin like this for the first time. Every word she said was deadly.

"How dare you contradict the Emperor in the court without even thinking? If it weren't for those colleagues who have a good relationship with the general, it would have been too late by the time I received the news!"

Bai Jinjin originally wanted to scold Mo Yunqiu, but she actually became angry as she spoke.

Butler Zhao listened to Bai Jinjin's words from the side and did not step forward to speak for Mo Yunqiu. He knew better what the young master lacked and believed that this incident would definitely help him grow.

Mo Yunqiu knew he was in the wrong and just said dryly, "Yunqiu knows his mistake." No more words were said.

Bai Jinjin didn't know what to say anymore. She stood up and walked over to him. "I accept your apology, but next time you're challenged, think twice before you act. I'll ask my father to assign you to me as a guard. Do you have any objections?"

"Yun Qiu has no problem and is willing to protect the princess."

Ye Jiuge, who was standing by, said jokingly, "Can his mediocre skills really do the trick?"
