"So this is the reason why Jinjin hasn't come for so long?" Bai Juncheng patted Bai Jinjin's head.

Bai Jinjin raised her chin proudly, "Of course, I haven't come to see Daddy for a long time."

Then he looked at Bai Juncheng with resentment, "In the end, Daddy still doesn't understand my good intentions."

"It's Daddy's fault." Bai Juncheng put Bai Jinjin on his lap and apologized.

Li Ji also walked in at this time. He was also surprised to see Bai Jinjin. He placed the tea bowl in front of Bai Juncheng and bowed to Bai Jinjin, "Your Highness the Ninth Princess."

"Eunuch Li, I haven't been here for a long time. Do you have any new gossip to tell me?" Bai Jinjin said to Li Ji while looking at him with her eyes rolling.

Bai Juncheng, after receiving Bai Jinjin's revelation, couldn't wait to go to Jinyuan Palace. "Jinjin, do you want to go back to Jinyuan Palace and wait for your father?"

"No, I smell of ambergris. If I go back, mother will know that Jinjin informed you." Bai Jinjin shook her head and said while sitting on a chair beside her.

"Then you wait here?" Bai Juncheng asked.

Bai Jinjin nodded in agreement, "Daddy, you can take Xiao Lanzi with you, and leave Li Ji to listen to the interesting stories of the palace."

The man nodded and walked out with Xiao Lanzi.

"Ninth Princess, will your plan work?" Li Ji asked after a moment of hesitation.

Bai Jinjin also paused for a moment, "Actually, I don't know either, but it's been over half a month now. Mother's anger should have subsided, so she should be feeling better, right?"

Li Ji served Bai Jinjin a cup of milk tea and asked, "Why do I feel that this plan might not work?"

"I've already said this, it's up to Daddy." Bai Jinjin shrugged and said.

Concubine Rou waited in the side hall for a while, and when she saw no more sound from the front, she walked towards the main hall with a smile, "Your Majesty..."

"What emperor?" Bai Jinjin said arrogantly to Concubine Rou while sitting on the dragon throne.

Suddenly, Concubine Rou's pupils dilated. "This is the Dragon Throne, Your Highness the Ninth Princess, even if the Emperor dotes on you, you can't do this."

"Is there something wrong with Concubine Rou's eyes?" Bai Jinjin straightened her clothes and said, "Couldn't you see when Daddy placed me on this throne last time?"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Rou's face darkened. "But how can this be compared? Back then, it was the Emperor who placed you on the Dragon Throne himself, and now it's Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess who's sitting on it herself. How is that the same?"

"Empress Rou, I wonder if your personal maid is doing okay?" Bai Jinjin said softly, leaning on the dragon throne.

Concubine Rou knew that she could not argue with Bai Jinjin, and since the emperor was not in Longqing Palace, she might as well go back to her own palace.

Then he turned and left.

Bai Jinjin got down from the dragon throne after seeing that Concubine Rou had left. "Eunuch Li, you can come out now."

Li Ji walked out from behind the pillar and looked at Bai Jinjin worriedly, "Your Highness the Ninth Princess, is it really okay for you to confront Concubine Rou so blatantly?"

"Tsk, what am I afraid of? I'm just a princess and I won't compete with them for the throne." Bai Jinjin said bluntly.

Li Ji's legs went weak after hearing this, "Auntie, please don't say such nonsense."

Bai Jinjin was amused. "What are you afraid of? It's not you who said it, what's the big deal?"

Li Ji felt that meeting Bai Jinjin was the Waterloo of his career as a slave. He was scared to the point of his legs going weak, but she thought it was normal.

"Okay, I guess Daddy should have met Mommy by now. Let's go and see them." Bai Jinjin said to Li Ji.

…

Bai Juncheng had already reached the gate of Jinyuan Palace, but he didn't dare to enter. Xiao Lanzi, the eunuch who had been with Li Ji the longest, saw this and said softly, "Your Majesty, you can't go back the same way now that you've come here."

"I know." After hearing this, Bai Juncheng could only muster up the courage to push open the door.

Concubine Ye thought it was Bai Jinjin, and looked at the book in her hand and asked, "Jinjin, did you take anything from your eldest brother today?"

There was no movement behind her. Concubine Ye turned around and saw Bai Juncheng behind her.

Bai Juncheng felt distressed when he saw Concubine Ye's pointed chin, but Concubine Ye in front of him became angry when she saw the anger in his heart.

"Your Majesty is not in Concubine Rou's palace at this time. Why is he coming to my Jinyuan Palace?" Concubine Ye turned her head and said sarcastically.

Bai Juncheng wanted to say something, but when he heard this, the stubbornness in his heart arose, "I was just passing by here and came in to take a look."

Hearing Bai Juncheng dare to call himself "I", Concubine Ye's anger flared up, "As you can see, thanks to you, you let the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs target me, and also caused Jinjin to masturbate in the winter. Now other concubines dare to ride on my head, and you are still not satisfied!"

Bai Juncheng looked at Concubine Ye, whose eyes were red, and the pain in his heart was about to overflow. "When did I ever let them target you?"

"You still dare to call yourself 'I' in front of me. You promised me that you would not say 'I' in front of me. Now it seems that your promise is nothing more than this!" Concubine Ye said to Bai Juncheng angrily.

Bai Juncheng also looked at Concubine Ye with a frown and anger.

"What? It's my fault that I contradicted the emperor. There's no room for a big Buddha like you here. You'd better leave quickly!" Concubine Ye came up to Bai Juncheng and said.

"I think Concubine Ye has gone crazy. Let's let the imperial physician take a good look at her!" Bai Juncheng's tone was unstable, but it was his fault and he didn't want to say anything to Concubine Ye that would make her sad.

Finally, he snorted coldly and left Jinyuan Palace and went to Concubine Rou's palace.

Concubine Rou returned to the palace in a rage. Seeing Concubine Rou's unprecedented anger, the Fourth Prince stepped forward and asked, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"

"Mother is fine. Hui'er, go ask the kitchen to make me a bowl of tortoise jelly." Concubine Rou said to the Fourth Prince with a turn of her eyes.

The fourth prince agreed and turned to leave.

Concubine Rou calmed down the anger in her heart and let out a long sigh.

"The Emperor has arrived!"

Concubine Rou was stunned. She didn't expect that Bai Juncheng would come here so soon.

Before she could go forward to greet him, Bai Juncheng walked into the palace angrily.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Concubine Rou asked softly.

Bai Juncheng sat on the chair and said, "I just went to see Concubine Ye, but she drove me out."

"I guess Concubine Ye is still obsessed with what happened that day?" Concubine Rou gently rubbed Bai Juncheng's shoulders.

Bai Juncheng sighed upon hearing this, "It's been so long, and she actually said that I had the Imperial Household Department target her?"

At this point, Bai Juncheng couldn't help but pound the table, "Will I retaliate against her for this matter? I am the emperor!"
