Shen Yue's expression suddenly darkened. "I didn't expect that Concubine Ye was quite knowledgeable about opera. She could tell what this was at a glance."

"Your Majesty, how could I possibly study opera? I only know a little bit." Concubine Ye glanced at Shen Yue and turned back to the Queen Mother and said, "Your Majesty, this play is a classic. You will definitely like it."

"I must listen carefully to this opera that Concubine Ye praises so much." The Queen Mother responded with a chuckle.

How could the frequent gossips in the harem not reach the ears of the empress dowager?

The Queen Mother picked up her teacup and took a sip of the tea. She asked casually, "I heard that someone in the Queen's palace is practicing witchcraft?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yue paused, "How did your Majesty know about this? I am afraid that it will have a bad influence on the palace, so I have tried my best to suppress it."

"Hmph, when will these rumors in the harem be suppressed?" The Queen Mother snorted coldly, glanced at the Queen and said coldly, "As the Queen, you can't even control your own maids."

Shen Yue immediately stood up from her chair and bowed to the Queen Mother. "This is my son's mistake. I beg you to forgive me for this mistake."

The Queen Mother sighed softly, "Empress, you have been handling the affairs of the harem for so many years and it has been very hard, but you have never made such a big mistake."

"Your son promises that such things will never happen in this palace in the future." Cold sweat appeared on Shen Yue's forehead. The empress dowager usually did not ask about the affairs of the harem, so why today?

The Queen Mother smiled calmly and motioned for Shen Yue to stand up.

"Queen, I won't dwell on this matter too much. You'd better remember what you said."

"Your son will follow your mother's instructions."

Shen Yue stood up sweating and sat on the chair.

The Queen Mother suddenly stood up and said, "I am tired. I will not watch this play anymore."

After saying this, he stood up and was helped by the palace maid as he left.

Concubine Ye stood up and taunted, "Your Majesty, please remember what happened today. After all, Your Majesty has promised that this will only happen this once."

Hearing this, Shen Yue looked at Concubine Ye with a sullen expression, "Concubine Ye, you told the Queen Mother about what happened today."

"Your Majesty, you are joking. The entire harem is under your control. What ability do I have to tell the Queen Mother?" Concubine Ye glanced at Shen Yue sarcastically, stepped forward and stared at her fiercely.

"Chen Yue, I don't care how you manage your harem, but if you set your sights on Jin Jin, I will fight you to the death!"

After saying this, he strode out of the Queen's palace.

Shen Yue sat on the chair with a trembling body. Concubine Ye herself came from a family of generals, and her aura was actually comparable to that of ordinary people.

Caixia, who was beside Concubine Ye, looked at her worriedly, "Your Majesty, isn't it inappropriate for us to openly confront the Empress like this?"

Concubine Ye gently patted Caixia's hand and spoke calmly in a softer tone.

"So what? I can tolerate other things, but she dared to touch my Jinjin. I will not tolerate it either."

…

Bai Jinjin was forced to drink a bowl of medicine again in Ye Jiuge's bedroom.

"Brother Ye, why is there still some? I have already eaten several bowls of medicine."

Ye Jiuge said nothing but handed her two plums and said, "This is the last dose of medicine. You can go out tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jinjin's eyes lit up and her tone became uncontrollably excited, "Thank you, Brother Ye!"

With that, he rushed out and ran towards his bedroom.

Leaving behind Ye Jiuge who was a little confused.

Night fell quietly. Bai Jinjin thought in her bedroom that the factory could produce 100,000 winter clothes in less than ten days at this speed.

Thinking of this, the girl felt relieved, took off her clothes, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

In the past few days, Bai Jinjin has been shuttling between Ye Jiuge's palace and Concubine Ye's palace, and occasionally visits the factory. Perhaps because she was warned by the Queen Mother once, Chen Yue has been calm these days.

Bai Jinjin was wearing a sea-blue winter coat. She looked at the snowflakes falling outside the window, stretched out her hand and let the snowflakes melt on her hand, feeling the cool touch on her hand.

"Your Highness! You're not wearing a cloak again." Zi Ling took out a cloak from the bedroom and put it on Bai Jinjin. "It's really unbelievable that you've only had a cold for a few days, and now you're not wearing one."

Bai Jinjin chuckled as she listened to Zi Ling's chatter, "It feels like Zi Ling is almost becoming a housekeeper."

Hearing this, Zi Ling glanced at Bai Jinjin coquettishly, "If Your Highness had paid attention to keeping warm, I wouldn't have to remind you every day."

"Okay Zi Ling, don't be angry. I don't need to think about it. Just look at the snow scene." Bai Jinjin shook Zi Ling's arm and said coquettishly.

The palace door suddenly opened, and Qingfeng walked in, looking at Bai Jinjin with interest, "Your Highness, those 100,000 winter clothes are ready. Do you want to take them back?"

"Don't take it yet. I'll go report to my father and then arrange for someone to deliver the winter clothes." Bai Jinjin thought for a moment and replied.

Qingfeng nodded, "Okay, then I'll have those women put the clothes on the second floor."

After saying that, he turned and left.

The roads were slippery in winter and walking was inconvenient, so Bai Jinjin could only take a sedan chair to Jinyuan Palace.

Zi Ling supported Bai Jinjin and walked into Jinyuan Palace.

Before Bai Jinjin even entered the house, she shouted, "Daddy! The 100,000 winter clothes Jinjin prepared are ready. When will Daddy arrange for troops to support the general?"

Bai Juncheng thought for a moment and said, "Father prefers General Fuyuan to support General Zhenguo, but today Mo Yunqiu advised that if the winter clothes are completed, he would like to support his father."

The girl shook off the snow on her body and took off her cloak. "Then Daddy, do you feel safe letting him go?"

"It's just delivering some winter clothes, so it should be fine." Bai Juncheng also had some doubts.

Although it was a good thing that Mo Yunqiu was willing to support him, he knew a little about Mo Yunqiu's temper and found that he had no patience at all.

Bai Jinjin knew he was still full of uncertainty when she saw him like this. She turned her eyes and said, "Father, if Mo Yunqiu still makes a complaint tomorrow, then I will give him a chance."

Give him a chance to change his influence.

"Since Jinjin is speaking so much for him, then daddy will give him a chance." Bai Juncheng has always believed in Bai Jinjin. Since Jinjin said so, he has no reason not to give Mo Yunqiu a chance.

Concubine Ye handed Bai Jinjin a bun and said softly, "You've lost weight during the last few days of catching a cold. Eat more to make up for it."

Bai Jinjin's eyes twitched. She had lost weight? She touched her belly and felt that the flesh was so thick that she could pinch it.

"Mom, Jinjin has really gained weight this time, not lost weight."

Concubine Ye's face turned serious and she said, "How could that be? Jinjin must have lost weight after being sick for a few days."
