Bai Jinjin sighed softly, rubbed her forehead, looked at the people kneeling down, and raised her hand helplessly, "Get up."

"Now that you know that I hired you to do this work, you should stop being cunning and stop cutting corners."

"If I find out..."

If they came down quickly, they would understand even if Bai Jinjin didn't say anything else.

"Please rest assured, Princess. I and others will do our best to do our job well."

The matter was finally resolved, Bai Jinjin got up and left with Ye Jiuge.

"The princess's authority is really strong, Your Highness." Ye Jiuge teased Bai Jinjin as soon as he left the carpenter's hall.

The girl punched Ye Jiuge in anger, "You're still laughing at me. I didn't want this to happen, but now everyone knows it."

Taking her punch effortlessly, Ye Jiuge advised her to be more open-minded, "Everyone in the capital knows your reputation as the Ninth Princess. It's only a matter of time."

Bai Jinjin said that Xie Xie was comforted, "Okay, let's move on to the next one."

"Anything else?" Ye Jiuge handed her a string of candied haws.

"Do you want the loom to move by itself?" Bai Jinjin rolled her eyes at him and took a bite of the candied haws.

Ye Jiuge laughed dumbly, "I am stupid, then where are we going?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Jinjin's eyes turned and she smiled, then took Ye Jiuge to a familiar direction.

…

Bai Yu had been in a trance and actually walked into Bai Jing's palace. Peach blossoms were planted on both sides of the palace. Compared with the luxury of his palace, Bai Jing's palace was unique.

He patted his face and walked in, "Brother! Are you there?"

Bai Jing, who was studying in the room, of course heard Bai Yu's voice. He put down his books and walked out, "Second brother, I'm here. Come in and talk."

Bai Yu tried to look normal. "I haven't been to Big Brother's palace for a long time. Why is it full of peach trees?"

"Jinjin likes to drink fruit wine, but I didn't let her. She said she wanted to drink the wine I brewed, and now the crops are full."

Thinking of the scene at that time, Bai Jing couldn't help laughing, "This little girl is unexpectedly stubborn sometimes."

Bai Yu listened quietly to Bai Jing talking about Bai Jinjin.

"Brother really likes Bai Jinjin."

"Yeah, we really misunderstood Jinjin before. Many things were not as we thought." Bai Jing chuckled. "What's wrong with you? Even though you came to chat with me, why are you always distracted?"

Bai Jing saw that he looked a little depressed, so he patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay, second brother. Don't worry about what happened in school. I think my brothers are just worried because they see that I am on Bai Jinjin's side and you are praising Jinjin."

I thought that if I comforted Bai Yu, he would be more cheerful, but he didn't look like he was upset because of this incident.

"Second brother, what happened to you today?"

Bai Yu sighed and didn't know how to tell Bai Jing about this.

"Don't worry. If you can't tell me, then let's not talk about it for now. Go read my book."

She stood up and patted him on the back, "Let's go."

He walked into the room first, and Bai Yu followed behind him. Many of the books on the bookshelf were rare copies.

Bai Yu looked closely and saw that there was a copy of the Lone Swallow. He walked over and took it out and said excitedly, "Brother, you actually have this book!"

The man smiled gently. "If you want it, take it. I've copied out all the books on this shelf. If you find anything you like, take a few more."

"Haha, thank you, big brother. I won't be polite then." Bai Yu felt much better and carefully selected the rare books on the bookshelf.

“This is a wild goose!”

“This is actually Jidu.”

Bai Yu almost wanted to move Bai Jing's entire bookshelf, "Brother, I want them all so much."

"That's not possible, but you can come and see it anytime you want. Just remember to return it."

Although Bai Jing has always been very generous to his brothers, he also signed many unequal treaties in order to collect so many rare books.

"Most of these rare books were stolen from Jinjin's bookshelf by me." Bai Jing was unusually embarrassed. "So I promised Jinjin that she could have some fruit wine."

Bai Yu was a little surprised, "Were these rare copies given to you by Bai Jinjin?"

Seeing the man nodded, Bai Yu silently put the notebook back and said, "Then I can't borrow these books anymore?"

"How is that possible? These are all my only copies and I can read them anytime." Bai Jing was caught off guard by Bai Yu's innocent question and had to explain hastily, "Even if you go to Jinjin Palace to borrow them, she won't object."

After sitting at the desk and flipping through the books for a while, Bai Yu's previous passion faded. He liked these books very much, but he really couldn't hide something in his heart.

Soon, he frowned again and sat at his desk, clearing his mind. Bai Jing sighed and rubbed his head as if to comfort him when they were children. "Since when did the second brother have a secret with the eldest brother?"

The familiar action made Bai Yu's eyes red, "Brother, I think this matter is very serious. I don't know how to tell you."

"But if it's a serious matter involving a lot of people, or if it's hurting a lot of people, then if you don't speak out you'll hurt even more people."

Seeing him like this, Bai Jing knew it must be because of the Prime Minister's matter. He should know about it for both public and private reasons. "We brothers haven't talked for a long time. Now is the perfect time."

"Go make two cups of tea for the Second Prince and ask for the Snow-top Melted Green Tea, and then bring the bean cakes."

Bai Jing mentioned all the things Bai Yu liked to drink and eat. The bean cake melted in his mouth and Bai Yu relaxed.

"I was at the lotus pond and saw my mother and the Prime Minister talking in the pavilion."

Bai Jing's heart skipped a beat. "Then why is the Empress meeting the Prime Minister in the pavilion this time?"

The young man hesitated for a moment before finally speaking out, "I heard the words Ye family and blaming others, but I didn't hear them all."

After hearing Bai Yu's words, Bai Jing was shocked. What he thought might be true.

"What do you think it means, second brother?"

"I always feel that my mother might be in the pre-cholera era, but she loves me so much, I really don't want to believe it."

Bai Yu told Bai Jing everything he knew.

"Perhaps your idea is correct, second brother, but don't tell this matter to anyone except me, and your mother is not allowed to tell anyone else either."

Bai Yu looked confused and nodded, "I know, big brother. The less you know about this matter, the better."

"It would be best if this thing is fake, but if it is true..."

"If it's true, what should I do?" Bai Yu covered his eyes.
