"Mother thought that Dad withheld her food, clothing and other expenses because they had a quarrel." Bai Jinjin placed her cold hand in Bai Jing's hand.

Bai Jing rubbed her hands distressedly, "Why is it so cold?"

The girl's nose flushed as she stared at the mirror. "Today was supposed to be the day the palace maids went to fetch coal, but you just saw that bastard trying to fool me!"

Bai Jinjin didn't feel wronged, but she was angry. These fence-sitters were really hateful.

"Brother will help you solve this matter. You should go to my palace to warm up now." Bai Jing took Bai Jinjin's little hand and walked towards his own palace.

Bai Jinjin hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Brother, didn't you take out the charcoal brazier from your palace to practice willpower?"

"Don't worry, it's warm." Bai Jing lowered his head and looked at Bai Jinjin and said with a smile.

As expected, Bai Jing was not lying and it was really warm. Bai Jinjin shivered and quickly squatted beside the charcoal brazier to keep warm.

"Don't get too close, or you'll get hurt." Bai Jing took off his cloak, walked forward, and pulled Bai Jinjin away and said.

Bai Jinjin rubbed her hands and said, "Isn't it warm? I don't want to, but I'm so cold."

"Then I can't. I can move the chair closer but you absolutely cannot squat here."

Bai Jing really brought a chair and asked Bai Jinjin to sit down.

It took Bai Jinjin a long time to warm up, and the girl breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally, I'm warm."

"So you and Concubine Ye have not used coal in the past few days?" Bai Jing looked at Bai Jinjin in surprise.

"That's right. There's not much coal left this month, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs hasn't delivered it yet. Who would have thought it was because of this reason?" Bai Jinjin explained angrily.

Bai Jing frowned, "I think I should tell Father about this."

"That's what I planned too, but I have a plan that I want to implement before going to find my father." Bai Jinjin said with a turn of his eyes.

If everything in the Ministry of Internal Affairs tomorrow is the same as before, then they can just ignore it. But if there is still no change, then they should be prepared to pay the price.

Bai Jing patted Bai Jinjin's forehead and said, "Why don't you tell me what your plan is? Are you going to hide it from me too?"

"I will go to have dinner with my father tomorrow. If they really give me everything, then there will be no problem. But if it remains like today, then they will pay the price." Bai Jinjin clenched her fists and said to Bai Jing.

Bai Jing couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, if you have any difficulties during the process, you can always come to me."

"Don't worry, big brother, I will." Bai Jinjin stood up, put on his cloak, and walked out.

She suddenly remembered that she had always asked people to deliver things to Ye Jiuge every month. The situation was already like this on her side, and she didn't know what the situation was like on Ye Jiuge's side.

Everything was just as Bai Jinjin had imagined. Ye Jiuge's palace was extremely deserted. Qingfeng shuddered unconsciously, "What's going on? We've run out of coal for today?"

Ye Jiuge also looked a little annoyed. He must be like this because something happened to Bai Jinjin.

"Brother Ye." Bai Jinjin pushed open the door of the palace and looked at Ye Jiuge. Seeing that there was not even a pot of coal in his hall, her anger level rose rapidly.

"Jinjin, what happened?" Ye Jiuge's cold hand touched Bai Jinjin's hand, and his hand actually needed Bai Jinjin's warmth.

Ye Jiuge's expression suddenly changed, and he took her into the palace.

"Why are your hands so cold?" Ye Jiuge asked while holding her hands and rubbing them.

Bai Jinjin shivered when she entered the hall, and her warm body temperature from Bai Jing cooled down again.

"I'm fine, at least there's some coal in the house. Why don't you have anything here?" Bai Jinjin asked after looking around.

Qingfeng rubbed his hands and said, "We don't know if a group of palace servants broke in this morning and took away all the coal."

Upon hearing this, Bai Jinjin's disgust was clearly revealed on her face, "What a bunch of fence-sitters."

This matter should probably be resolved now, otherwise not only her but also the villain will be frozen.

"I want to ask you, what happened? Why did you embezzle things?" Qingfeng asked while sitting on a chair nearby.

Bai Jinjin looked at Qingfeng with a sour expression, "Don't mention it, I will solve this matter quickly, just wait."

After saying that, he walked out. There was no need to give the Ministry of Internal Affairs a chance. He should solve the problem right away. He was almost frozen to death, Bai Jinjin thought.

"Li Ji, the weather is getting colder. Add some coal to each palace." Bai Juncheng said as he looked at the heavy snow falling outside.

Li Ji agreed. This was not coal for each palace family, but a special portion of coal for Concubine Ye.

"Daddy." Platinum Jigsaw walked into Longqing Palace with thick snow on his head.

Seeing Bai Jinjin like this, Bai Juncheng hurried forward to wipe the snow off her head and asked, "Why didn't you ask the palace maid to hold an umbrella for you?"

As he spoke, he took Bai Jinjin's hand, which was also extremely cold. "Where's your hot water bottle?"

Bai Jinjin laughed in her heart. What about the hot water bottle? She almost froze to death on the way here.

"Everything is gone, even the coal in the palace is gone." Bai Jinjin said in a low voice.

Bai Juncheng saw that she was wet and must have caught a cold. "Li Ji, go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and get the Ninth Princess a new set of winter clothes."

"Yes." Li Ji hurriedly asked the eunuch to run to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, while he made a cup of milk tea for Bai Jinjin.

"Your Highness, please drink some tea to warm yourself up." Li Ji trotted and placed the teacup on the small table next to Bai Jinjin.

Bai Juncheng frowned, "Jinjin, what's going on with the maids from Jinyuan Palace? Aren't they coming out with you?"

Bai Jinjin hadn't had milk tea for a few days. She picked up the teacup with her hands without fear of the heat, blew away the hot steam, and drank it.

"Go slower, I'm afraid you'll get burned." Bai Juncheng looked at Bai Jinjin worriedly.

The girl shook her head and held out her hand, which was already red from the cold. "It's okay, Daddy, it's just right for you to warm my hands."

"What's going on with you?" Bai Juncheng sat next to Bai Jinjin and asked.

The young eunuch came in and reported, "The Imperial Household Department said that the Ninth Princess' winter clothes are no longer being made. They simply haven't made any new winter clothes for her."

"What!" Bai Juncheng immediately slammed the table and stood up when he heard this, "What the hell is going on?"

The young eunuch was a newcomer to Longqing Palace, and the people from the Imperial Household Department didn't recognize him. They thought he was a young eunuch from Jinyuan Palace, so they spoke rudely and sarcasticly to him.
