A few days later, the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet was finally ready.

During the day, Bai Jinjin was being dressed up by the palace maids. She changed into several sets of clothes and finally decided on a sea-blue long dress. She wore a double-bun hairpin on her head that Ye Jiuge gave her.

"Although I am very happy about the Empress Dowager's banquet, these red tapes are really tiring." Bai Jinjin was forced to get up early and yawned loudly.

Zi Ling put the Yingluo around Bai Jinjin's neck and said, "Princess, please bear with it for a while. After all, this is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet."

"Then let's go quickly and take a look at the Empress Dowager's palace." After Bai Jinjin finished dressing up, she couldn't wait to go to the Empress Dowager's palace.

"Your Highness, please wait for me. I want to stay by your side today." Zi Ling saw Bai Jinjin as if she was not restrained at all and hurriedly chased after her.

As soon as she left the Jinhua Palace, she saw Ye Jiuge wearing a purple dress with a green hairpin in her hair. Bai Jinjin was once again amazed by Ye Jiuge's outfit.

"Brother Ye, you are so handsome." Bai Jinjin walked forward and took Ye Jiuge's hand and said.

Ye Jiuge nodded her head gently, "You, I've told you once, you can praise a man for being handsome, but you can't praise me for being pretty."

"What's the big deal? It's beautiful, and I just like to praise you for being beautiful." Bai Jinjin said jokingly, looking at Ye Jiuge.

As he said this, he took Ye Jiuge's arm and walked forward.

Zi Ling behind her had become accustomed to Bai Jinjin's intimacy with Ye Jiuge, and followed Bai Jinjin quietly.

But the closer they got to the banquet, the more people talked about them.

"How could this woman be so shameless as to link arms with a man in such a public place?"

The lady beside him patted him and said, "Stop talking. What does this have to do with you?"

The man felt embarrassed when he saw his wife scolding him, but he didn't say anything because he was well-known for his love for his wife.

Bai Jinjin then remembered that she was still holding Ye Jiuge's arm, and quickly offered his arm to him.

"Brother Ye, let's go." Bai Jinjin loosened her arm and walked ahead.

Ye Jiuge looked at his loosened arm, touched his arm with deep eyes, and looked at the man's figure with some grimness.

When Bai Jinjin stepped into the banquet, she saw Bai Yu arranging the final procedures and pulling the large red and pink flower to the center of the banquet.

"Second brother, why haven't you finished this yet?" Bai Jinjin asked.

Bai Yu chuckled and said, "Yes, this is the last thing to do. As long as we put this flower on it, it will be done."

The girl glanced around the banquet hall and nodded with satisfaction, "That's right, it's exactly what I imagined."

"I didn't expect that this banquet also had your contribution." Ye Jiuge followed and said.

"Don't look down on me. I have a very good ability in color matching." Bai Jinjin glared at Ye Jiuge and said.

Bai Jing also appeared from the side and chuckled, saying, "Young Master Ye, you underestimated Jinjin. This banquet was really arranged by her."

The girl raised her nose proudly when she heard Bai Jing explain for her.

"Okay, Jinjin, you'll be busy today," Bai Jing patted Bai Jinjin's head and said softly.

Bai Jinjin was stunned. "Wait, why am I so busy?"

"My brother and I can't welcome the guests today, so we need your help, Jinjin." Bai Yu explained.

Bai Jinjin was so frightened that she hugged Ye Jiuge's arm and said, "Can I take Brother Ye with me?"

"Those who came today are all important officials of the court, and there are also many princes. Is it really okay for you to bring him with you?" Bai Yu did not say whether he agreed or not, but instead asked back about this matter.

The girl rolled her eyes at Bai Yu. She was determined to take Ye Jiuge with her. "I can't do that. I've never entertained guests before. Brother is a prince after all. I bet he has more experience than me."

Because Bai Jinjin had never welcomed guests before, Bai Jing could only nod in agreement, "In that case, Jinjin should bring Ye Jiuge along."

"Brother, won't this damage the reputation of the royal family?" Bai Yu was a little worried.

Bai Jing waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, my father has always doted on Jinjin, she will be fine."

"Since big brother said so, I feel relieved." Bai Yu also felt that there was nothing wrong with what Bai Jing said, so he could only agree.

As soon as the words fell, Bai Jinjin took Ye Jiuge out and said, "Okay, brothers, I'm going to greet the guests."

Ye Jiuge was taken away without saying a word. He only spoke after they left Fenghua Palace, "Are you really going to take me with you?"

"Of course. It's good for Brother Ye to accompany me even if he doesn't say anything." Bai Jinjin is now accustomed to dragging Ye Jiuge to various important occasions.

"Aren't you afraid that I have some plans?" Ye Jiuge asked Bai Jinjin seriously.

Bai Jinjin thought for a moment, "If you really had some ulterior motive, you would have asked me for something long ago since I'm so kind to you. So you wouldn't do that."

Ye Jiuge smiled happily when he heard Bai Jinjin's words, "Let's go, I'll accompany you to welcome the guests."

After arriving at the place, Bai Jinjin suddenly felt that her social anxiety seemed to have occurred.

"Brother Ye, why do they seem a little scary to me?" Bai Jinjin swallowed and quietly moved behind Ye Jiuge.

Ye Jiuge dodged Bai Jinjin's retreat and pushed her forward, "Jinjin said that I only need to accompany you."

Unexpectedly, Ye Jiuge was so disloyal. Bai Jinjin snorted, "Well, then come by yourself."

Bai Jinjin dealt with all kinds of people with a suitable smile on her face.

The man who just said Bai Jinjin was shameless also appeared in front of Bai Jinjin.

"Why are you here?" The man looked at Bai Jinjin in confusion, while Bai Jinjin glanced at the list in her hand. This was Prince Dun.

"Prince Dun, thank you for your courtesy. Please come in." Bai Jinjin's face was almost frozen with smile.

He still didn't come in after being called, and Bai Jinjin's tone was a little impatient, "Prince Dun, is there anything else?"

"What's going on? You, a shameless woman, are welcoming us here. Is there no one in the palace?" Prince Dun snorted coldly.

Prince Dun was the Queen Mother's adopted son. Because he had no intention of competing for the throne, Bai Juncheng rewarded him and sent him away as soon as he left his fiefdom, so he did not know Bai Jinjin.

Bai Jinjin took a deep breath and said, "I wonder what Prince Dun meant by this?"

"Hmph, when I came here, I saw you arguing with a man. How can a woman like you come to welcome guests?" Prince Dun said, ignoring the pulling of his wife beside him.
