Seeing Bai Jinjin shyly running back to the carriage, the people around her laughed kindly.

Ye Jiuge was originally guarding the personnel of the Grand Canal to prevent casualties. When he turned around and saw Bai Jinjin enter the carriage, he followed her.

"What's wrong?"

Bai Jinjin said she didn't want to answer Ye Jiuge's question.

Ye Jiuge didn't care and just said

"We will return to the palace in a moment. Everything has been arranged here, and the follow-up has also been arranged."

Bai Jinjin nodded and suddenly thought of something. When she was checking the Grand Canal, she vaguely saw Bai Lingling distributing porridge on the other side of the river. She wondered how she was doing now.

Ye Jiuge looked at Bai Jinjin's puzzled eyes and said calmly, "I noticed that her porridge stall seemed to be unable to make ends meet and was overturned by the victims."

Oh, huh? Bai Jinjin smiled. This Bai Lingling really wasn't going to cry until she saw the coffin. She had the audacity to open a porridge stall when food was scarce.

People are selfish. When people who have been hungry for a long time are running out of food, they only think about whether they can eat enough.

If I hadn't brought so many people with me today, I would probably have been pushed down by these refugees like Bai Lingling.

Bai Jinjin leaned against the side, feeling that her energy was about to reach its limit. She said to Ye Jiuge tiredly, "Brother Ye, let's go back."

Seeing Bai Jinjin looking tired, Ye Jiuge nodded and asked the coachman to take her back to the palace.

On the way, Bai Jinjin slept uneasily as her head swayed with the shaking of the carriage. Seeing this, Ye Jiuge supported Bai Jinjin's shaking head and placed it on his legs. Bai Jinjin struggled to get up.

But Ye Jiuge covered his eyes and held his head down.

"We haven't reached the palace yet, so you can just sleep like this for a while."

After hearing this, Bai Jinjin stopped struggling and fell asleep on Ye Jiuge's legs. After a while, a long sound rose, and Bai Jinjin had fallen asleep.

Ye Jiuge gently stroked the girl's cheeks, which were flushed due to hard work, and then held the girl's pink little hand and kissed it on his lips.

Bai Lingling in the bedroom thought of Bai Jinjin rescuing the victims. Everyone around her was helping her, and everyone only had Bai Jinjin in their eyes.

Bai Jinjin angrily threw the teacup on the table to the ground. Bai Jinjin, Bai Jinjin, everything is Bai Jinjin. Her current status is actually because of her.

She was unwilling to give up, and she would never let Bai Jinjin have an easy time. Then she sat down at the desk, picked up a pen and wrote a letter, her fingers lightly tapping the water stains on the ground.

He lightly nodded at the end of the letter, then gently called Linlang outside.

"Linlang, please help me clean up. I accidentally knocked over the teacup."

Linlang said yes and started to pick up the debris on the ground. When Linlang was about to go out, he handed her the letter and asked her to deliver it to the eldest prince, and also stuffed her with a bracelet.

Linlang immediately took the letter with a smile on her face.

After watching Linlang leave, Bai Lingling's smile gradually widened and even became a little weird.

Linlang put away the letter and was about to leave when she was stopped by Ruyi, the palace maid beside the queen.

"What are you trying to do sneakily at this hour?"

Obviously, this was the first time Linlang had done this.

She immediately knelt down in panic and said, "I just want to go to the toilet. I will be back soon."

Ruyi obviously didn't believe it. Seeing her tightly covering her sleeves, she scolded, "What's in your sleeves? Give it to me immediately."

The sudden scolding scared Linlang so much that she subconsciously handed the letter over. Ruyi took the letter, took a look at the content, and glanced at Linlang who was kneeling on the ground.

"Let's go, the Queen wants to see you."

Linlang trembled uncontrollably, but had to follow Ruyi to the bedroom. The queen, sitting on the phoenix chair, looked at the letter in her hand and laughed out loud.

He had indeed been right about Bai Lingling. This girl was as ruthless and cruel as any of the concubines who had just entered the palace.

He then had Ruyi return the letter to Linlang and said in a long voice, "Since your master asked you to deliver it, then go ahead and do it. Do you know what to say and what not to say?"

Linlang nodded rapidly.

"I know. I didn't see the Queen today. I just delivered the letter."

The queen nodded with satisfaction and let Ruyi take Linlang away.

After Ruyi and Linlang were out of her sight, the Queen said in a deep voice to another maid, "Tell the Second Prince to stay away from Bai Lingling from now on."

The maid looked at the queen's expression, replied calmly, and then disappeared from the queen's sight.

On the other side, Ye Jiuge and Bai Jinjin returned to the palace, but Bai Jinjin was still asleep. Seeing that Bai Jinjin was still asleep, Ye Jiuge wanted to send her back to the bedroom, but it was too late for them to be alone.

Bai Jinjin was bound to be talked about, so he had to wake her up.

Bai Jinjin opened her eyes hazily and stretched.

"You're back to the palace so soon."

Then he turned around and looked at Ye Jiuge, and saw that Ye Jiuge was still maintaining the same posture as when he was sleeping.

"Ah, Brother Ye, your legs must be numb, why didn't you wake me up in the middle?"

Seeing that Bai Jinjin was about to help Ye Jiuge massage his legs, Ye Jiuge hurriedly stopped her.

"Okay, I didn't wake you up because you were sleeping so soundly."

Bai Jinjin scratched her hair embarrassedly.

"Next time if something like this happens, just wake me up. It's so embarrassing that you're already numb."

Ye Jiuge looked at Bai Jinjin curiously.

"You held my jade pendant without blushing or fluttering your heart, so why do you feel uncomfortable just sleeping on my lap?"

Bai Jinjin crossed her waist and said, "Hmph, don't think I don't know. That jade pendant was originally a gift you wanted to give me. What's wrong with me taking it directly?"

Ye Jiuge laughed out loud immediately.

"You're making a false argument. How could a girl accept a gift from a strong man?"

Bai Jinjin said, "I don't care. I don't want to listen."

"Anyway, they're already hanging around my waist. If you want to take them back, you'll have to untie my belt first. If you're willing to take them, I'll return the jade pendants to you."

Faced with Bai Jinjin's rogue behavior, Ye Jiuge seemed helpless but actually enjoyed it very much. Bai Jinjin had never been so intimate with any man except Ye Jiuge.

Then he patted Bai Jinjin's shoulder and said, "Okay, now that the flood problem has been resolved, Your Highness, please let me go back and rest early."

Bai Jinjin looked at Ye Jiuge with amusement as he jokingly called her "Princess Highness". This person was moody and called her "Princess Highness" when he was joking.

Even when she is angry, she calls him "Your Highness the Princess", which makes it really hard to tell.

"Alright, alright, considering that our brother Ye has worked hard all day, this princess will mercifully let him go back and rest."

After saying this, the two of them smiled at each other and returned to their bedrooms.

Bai Jinjin said no one could stop her from sleeping in.
