Bai Jinjin heard what Concubine Ye said and responded leisurely.

Then he followed Bai Jing and the other two out.

"Jinjin." Bai Yu suddenly called out Bai Jinjin.

Bai Jinjin knew what he wanted to say when she saw his eyes. She shook her head gently and said, "I didn't want you to know about this."

"This kind of thing can't be kept secret." Bai Yu patted Bai Jinjin's head and said.

Bai Jing, who was watching the two of them talking in secret, chuckled and said, "It seems that during the time I was away, you two siblings have developed your own little secrets."

"Of course. Big brother, you haven't shown up for such a long time. Where have you been?" Bai Jinjin looked at Bai Jing in confusion.

Bai Jing chuckled, "I'm dealing with the mess left behind by the Prime Minister. All that money needs to be given to the families of those who died on the battlefield."

Upon hearing this, Bai Yu's expression flickered and he lowered his head with some guilt.

"Second brother, after the empress dowager's birthday banquet is over, follow me to give money to those people." Bai Jing naturally saw the knot in Bai Yu's heart.

Bai Jinjin also patted Bai Yu's hand and said, "Second brother, don't worry. With Big Brother here, you won't make a mistake in your calculations."

Bai Yu burst out laughing, "Don't worry, I won't make a mistake in my calculations."

"Then what do you have to worry about? I trust you very much." Bai Jinjin looked at him confidently.

The man flicked Bai Jinjin's head, "You speak so confidently, are you going to settle the score?"

"Forget it, forget it, I don't want it." Modern mathematics is already difficult, and I don't even understand ancient money. Wouldn't it be like asking Bai Jinjin to do the accounting?

Seeing Bai Jinjin was so afraid of settling accounts, Bai Yu asked in confusion, "Jinjin, are you afraid of settling accounts?"

"Actually, second brother, I haven't figured out how to use money yet." Bai Jinjin lowered her head and flicked her fingers.

Bai Jing stared at Bai Jinjin with wide eyes, "You said you couldn't even recognize your own money. That's impossible."

"Oh, Brother Ye calculated the money for me during the flood and for my winter clothes." Bai Jinjin smiled embarrassedly.

"Let's not dwell on this issue anymore. Let's discuss how to hold the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet successfully?" Bai Yu asked the key question.

Bai Jinjin touched his chin and said, "You two did this yourselves. I just came to take a look."

"Then what are you here for?" Bai Yu asked hurriedly when he saw Bai Jinjin turning around and about to leave.

The girl looked back at them and said, "I'm going to go talk to Grandma Huang. You don't have to worry about me."

Phoenix Heart Palace.

The Queen Mother was copying Buddhist scriptures and looked with satisfaction at the rice paper next to Fangxin, which was densely covered with Sanskrit.

When Bai Jinjin came in, she couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "Grandma Huang, you are truly amazing. You can even write such a difficult Sanskrit."

"This is something that comes with practice. If you write quietly every day, you can do it too." Although the Queen Mother worshipped Buddha all year round, she still felt uncontrollably happy when others praised her Buddhist scriptures.

"Grandma Empress, you know Jinjin can't sit still, so it's really impossible for her to do such a quiet thing." Bai Jinjin moved closer to the Empress Dowager, stood beside her and said coquettishly.

Bai Jinjin was full of the vitality that a young girl should have. The Queen Mother liked Bai Jinjin being close to her. She smiled kindly and said, "How can you possibly calm down if you jump around all day long?"

Hearing this, Bai Jinjin squatted beside the Queen Mother and placed her hand on her leg. "Grandma, are you looking forward to this birthday banquet?"

"Every year's birthday banquet is almost the same. Although I know the emperor has put in a lot of effort, it is really boring." The empress dowager stopped copying Buddhist scriptures when Bai Jinjin approached, and said in a calm tone.

Bai Jinjin smiled at her and said, "Grandma, let me tell you, this banquet was organized by my eldest and second brothers."

"The emperor actually entrusted such a matter to them?" The empress dowager was obviously a little surprised.

"Yes, father said that although this is very risky, judging by the performance of their last banquet, this time it won't be too bad either." Bai Jinjin said hurriedly when she saw that the empress dowager was worried.

The Queen Mother put down the pen in her hand, looked at Bai Jinjin and said, "You have been with the Emperor for so long. Have you ever heard that the Emperor has the intention of appointing a crown prince?"

"Father is still young. Maybe he has this idea but wants to train them." Bai Jinjin said after carefully choosing his words.

The Queen Mother sighed slightly, "I know that the Emperor can't make a decision right now, but it seems that the Emperor may be willing to choose between the First and Second Princes."

Bai Jinjin is numb. Why are you telling me this? I just came to talk to you about the birthday party.

"Grandma Empress, don't worry about this. My four brothers are all outstanding people with their own strengths. I believe that father will make the right choice." Bai Jinjin thought about it and decided to adopt a roundabout tactic.

Seeing the Empress Dowager's expression ease, Bai Jinjin quickly changed the subject, "Now that Jinjin has told you, do you have any expectations?"

Hearing this, the Queen Mother chuckled, "No matter how this banquet is held, it will follow the traditional old path. There won't be any major changes."

"Oh, Madam Empress, please look forward to the banquet of my eldest and second brothers." Bai Jinjin said as she gently shook the Empress Dowager.

Perhaps because Bai Jinjin had worn her out, the Queen Mother stroked her hair and said, "Okay, since Jinjin has said so, I'll just look forward to it."

"Grandma, your grandson is here to see you." A sudden voice sounded, and the Third Prince walked in from the door with a smile on his face, holding a lunch box and his cell phone.

The smile on the third prince's face faded the moment he saw Bai Jinjin.

Bai Jinjin was also angry with the Third Prince. She put her little head on the Queen Mother's lap and refused to look at the Third Prince.

When the Queen Mother saw the two of them like this, she knew that they must have had a conflict.

"Why do you two look like this when you meet?"

Bai Jinjin didn't want to say it, but seeing the Third Prince's expression, she immediately became angry.

"A few days ago, Jinjin was in the palace trying to weave a box out of bamboo strips. But just as she picked up the strips, the Third Prince rushed in and grabbed her, demanding she go apologize to Sister Ling."

When she heard that this matter was related to Bai Lingling, the smile on the empress dowager's face disappeared completely.

"Yan'er, what's going on?" The Queen Mother looked at the Third Prince seriously.

The third prince felt a little ashamed of what he had done that day, but he always believed that Bai Lingling was right.
