Bai Jinjin always thought that the koi pond was incompatible with her, so she moved to a new place. She was told that there was a lotus pond behind the koi pond, which surprised Bai Jinjin a little because she had never been there before.

But when she arrived at the lotus pond, she saw Bai Yu sitting there in a daze. Bai Jinjin walked up and sat next to him. She didn't say anything, just looked at the lotus pond quietly.

After a while, Bai Yu said sullenly: "Did I really do something wrong?"

"You may have done something wrong due to blood ties, but from the perspective of the world, you did the right thing." Bai Jinjin's soft voice sounded in Bai Yu's ears.

The young man raised his head and looked at Bai Jinjin, "Then how do I know if what I did was right or wrong?"

Hearing this, Bai Jinjin thought for a moment, stood up, and extended her hand to Bai Yu, "I'll take you to a place, and you'll understand."

Bai Yu took Bai Jinjin's hand and followed her.

One day, Bai Yu was on a road he had never been to before. "Where are we going?"

Bai Jinjin turned around and smiled at him and said, "We'll be there soon, don't worry."

There were fewer and fewer trees, and the wind became a little bit stronger. Soon Bai Jinjin brought Bai Yu to the military camp.

Bai Yu looked at everything in front of him in shock, "This..."

Everything in front of him was a world that Bai Yu had never encountered before.

Bai Jinjin pointed at a soldier with a broken leg and said, "If the Prime Minister hadn't embezzled the military pay, he wouldn't be in this state today. But he has no regrets. Even with a missing leg, he will still be loyal to the Qin State."

"The boy over there was only seventeen years old. His right hand was originally only chopped, but due to insufficient medication, the wound became inflamed and a piece of flesh was eventually cut off."

Bai Jinjin looked at Bai Yu's expression and added, "The most important thing is that they failed because they lacked food and military pay."

Bai Yu took a step forward, wanting to see more clearly, but Bai Jinjinque held him back, "These soldiers are still recuperating, don't go over there."

She left the military camp with Bai Yu. On the way back, Bai Jinjin was still explaining to Bai Yu, "If it weren't for the Prime Minister and the Queen, how could they be here, neither human nor ghost?"

"They also have families. Many people join the war not out of willingness, but mostly to risk their lives in exchange for a small salary."

Bai Jinjin stood there, looking at Bai Yu solemnly. "Moreover, after many soldiers died, the money that should have been sent to their families disappeared. This is all what the Prime Minister said. Do you still think you are wrong?"

Hearing this, Bai Yu was filled with emotion, yet he also seemed to be mocking himself, "I don't even see it as clearly as you do."

"There's no such thing as peace in the world. It's just that some people are carrying the pressure and moving forward."

Bai Jinjin's words shocked Bai Yu. He didn't expect that Bai Jinjin knew so much at such a young age.

Then Bai Yu chuckled.

"I see."

Then he placed his big hand on Bai Jinjin's head and said softly, "Thank you for letting me know this."

At this moment, Bai Jinjin felt that there seemed to be something different about Bai Yu. Maybe this was what it meant to grow up.

Bai Jinjin chuckled and said, "Since, Second Brother, you already understand, then do you want to come to my place and take a look at the rare copy?"

How could Bai Yu not hear such obvious words of comfort? Not wanting to refuse her kindness, Bai Yu agreed.

"Then let's go to your palace now."

The two figures walked away, and Bai Jing appeared from the side, looking at Bai Jinjin in the distance with a smile on his face.

"Jinjin's words are truly shocking."

…

Bai Juncheng was very surprised and a little delighted when he heard Bai Jing's words.

"Jinjin really said that?"

Bai Jing nodded without hesitation, "Yes, that's what Jinjin said."

"Great. Jinjin has grown up and his thoughts have become more mature." Bai Juncheng showed a pleased expression like an old father.

Concubine Ye on the side murmured and repeated what Bai Jing had said, and chuckled, "This girl actually knows so much."

On the other side, Bai Jinjin sneezed three times violently, which frightened Zi Ling so much that she poured another bowl of ginger soup for Bai Jinjin. "Princess, you must be cold. Drink more."

"Yes, Jinjin, you should drink more. If you catch a cold, you should take bitter medicine." Bai Yu's words reminded Bai Jinjin, and she quickly drank the ginger soup.

"Okay, okay, stop serving. I'm going to be full soon. Do I still want to eat?" Seeing that Zi Ling still wanted to serve, Bai Jinjin hurriedly stopped her.

Bai Yu was looking at the rare copy from the side, but his eyes kept turning to Bai Jinjin.

Bai Jinjin noticed his gaze and said to Zi Ling, "Zi Ling, go prepare a plate of plum blossom cake for me. I haven't eaten it for a long time and I'm craving it."

"Okay, Your Highness, please wait a moment, I'll go now." Zi Ling then retreated.

"Second brother, is there something wrong with you looking at me like that?" Bai Jinjin looked at Bai Yu with gentle eyes.

This look made Bai Yu want to tell a story more.

"Who taught you that?"

Bai Jinjin thought it was something else and looked at Bai Yu with a smile, "This is what I figured out."

"You are really different from my impression of you." It was the first time in such a long time that Bai Yu looked at Bai Jinjin seriously.

Soon Zi Ling came in with plum blossom cakes. "Your Highness, the plum blossom cakes are here. Do you want to eat them now?"

"Yes, give it to me and I'll eat it now." Bai Jinjin couldn't wait to take one and put it in her mouth.

Bai Yu looked at Bai Jinjin who was eating happily, with a tenderness in his eyes that he himself had not noticed. He walked forward and wiped the residue from the corner of Bai Jinjin's mouth.

The girl looked at him blankly and handed the plum cake in her hand to Bai Yu, "Do you want to eat it too, second brother?"

"I don't want to eat anymore. You eat it yourself." Bai Yu laughed and looked at Bai Jinjin's puffy cheeks.

He now truly understood why his elder brother was so nice to Bai Jinjin.

"His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

A young eunuch outside the door called out to Bai Yu.

Bai Jinjin also followed Bai Yu to look outside the door. The little eunuch looked very unfamiliar.

"What do you want from me?" Bai Yu looked at the young eunuch in front of him calmly.

Unexpectedly, the young eunuch looked at Bai Yu as if he had found a savior, "Your Highness, the Second Prince, the Empress said she wants to see you."

Hearing this, Bai Jinjin also put down the plum blossom cake and walked up to the eunuch and said, "You go back first. This princess and the second prince will be at the queen's palace soon."

When the young eunuch saw Bai Jinjin agreed, he hurried back to report.

"Jinjin, do you think I should go see her?" Although Bai Yu had figured it out, he was still struggling with whether or not to go.

Bai Jinjin stepped forward and patted his shoulder, "Go if you want to."
