The next morning.

Bai Jinjin got up on her own. Zi Ling looked at her in surprise. "Your Highness, you don't have anything to do today. Why are you up so early?"

"Today is the day for my brothers to go shopping with us." Bai Jinjin was very happy, not only because of this, but also because Bai Jing and Bai Yu seemed to have accepted the villain.

The weather is nice today, and the temperature is starting to warm up, perhaps because it is the beginning of spring.

"Brother, where are we going today?" Bai Jinjin asked in a good mood.

Bai Jing looked at Ye Jiuge holding Bai Jinjin's hand and felt for the first time that Ye Jiuge was truly an eyesore. "Today is the Donglan Festival, which is unique to the capital."

As he said that, he silently pulled Bai Jinjin over. Ye Jiuge raised his brows, thinking that he had monopolized Bai Jinjin for many days, so he controlled his hand and tried to pull Bai Jinjin back.

"So what exactly are we going to do?" Bai Jinjin had never heard of such a new festival.

"It's actually similar to the Lantern Festival, but people can only wear purple or red clothes on this day," Bai Jing explained.

Bai Jinjin understood. The emperor must have been bored to death and came up with this festival.

Only Ye Jiuge looked out the window silently, recalling that her biological mother knew about this festival and was very proud of it. She might have to look it up in the historical records.

"Don't worry about it. There will be plenty of fun things today." Bai Yu didn't care about those things. When he arrived in the capital, he jumped off the carriage first and carried Bai Jinjin down.

Bai Jinjin looked at Ye Jiuge, who had been silent in the back, and felt a little worried. "Brother Ye, can you accompany me to buy some fresh sugar-roasted chestnuts?"

"Okay." Ye Jiuge came back to his senses, looked at Bai Jinjin's worried eyes and responded with a chuckle. He got off the carriage, took Bai Jinjin's outstretched hand and walked like a small vendor.

Seeing this, Bai Yu was about to follow, but was stopped by Bai Jing, "What are you doing?"

"I'm just worried that Jinjin will be taken advantage of." Bai Yu explained in confusion as he looked at Bai Jing who was looking at him.

Bai Jing's eyebrows jumped. "This matter is between the two of them, and I believe Jinjin will not suffer any loss, right?"

Even though Bai Jing explained this to Bai Yu, Bai Yu still felt that Bai Jinjin was the little white rabbit who would be eaten.

"Brother, I didn't even have the chance to pamper Jinjin before she was taken away by this pig." Bai Yu explained to Bai Jing with tears in his eyes.

"But Ye Jiuge was the one who discovered Jinjin's shining points earlier than any of us." Bai Jing ignored Bai Yu and said to Bai Jinjin with a gentle expression.

This sentence made Bai Yu silent for a moment.

"Even so, he is still a bastard who wants to kidnap Jinjin!" Bai Yu was sad for only three seconds.

"Brother Ye, do you miss your mother?" Bai Jinjin asked after a moment of hesitation.

The book does not focus on Ye Jiuge's royal background.

Ye Jiuge didn't expect that Bai Jinjin actually knew this, and looked at her in surprise.

"Remember the time when Bai Lingling tried to seduce you?" Bai Jinjin looked at Ye Jiuge cunningly.

Ye Jiuge suddenly realized that he had forgotten such an important thing.

"Yes, after seeing this Donglan Festival, I am even more convinced that my mother is from the Qin people."

"Isn't she in Lan Country?" Bai Jinjin was very confused.

When Ye Jiuge mentioned this matter, he had actually almost figured it out. This time, it was probably because his unscrupulous parents saw that he had a cold face every day and were worried that he would not be able to find a wife, so they lied to him that his mother was missing.

"Is it that simple?" Bai Jinjin looked at him in surprise. Please, she had read the book. The main reason why the villain became bloody and ruthless was that he was locked in a house by a woman and whipped for two days.

Ye Jiuge nodded calmly, "It's that simple."

"Okay, okay." Bai Jinjin could also understand why he kept it a secret from her. After all, it was better not to talk about such a dark past.

"Jinjin, we are going to buy some snacks. Do you want to come with us?" Bai Yu stepped forward and asked, separating Bai Jinjin and Ye Jiuge.

Bai Jinjin thought about what Ye Jiuge liked to eat and agreed, "Then let's go to the dim sum shop."

In fact, Bai Jinjin has always felt that the biggest difference between this world and the modern world is that there are no cars, no electricity, and no mobile phones. Everything else, like snack shops, is still there.

"I didn't expect that there are crab roe pastries." Bai Jinjin looked at the dim sum on the counter in surprise.

Bai Jing tapped her head and said, "These things are all available in the palace, but you've been eating lotus root powder and osmanthus sugar cakes, and you don't pay attention to the others."

Hearing this, Bai Jinjin stuck out her tongue, packed a portion and placed it in Ye Jiuge's hand, "Here you go, I saw you eat a lot of this snack last time, you must like it."

Ye Jiuge thought that he was too busy playing and joking with Qingfeng to notice it, but he didn't expect that she had remembered it in her heart.

Suddenly, Ye Jiuge's heart was opened up again by Bai Jinjin.

After eating and drinking for a whole morning, in the evening, many people put on masks and walked on the streets.

"Isn't this just like the Chinese Valentine's Day?" Bai Jinjin asked while wearing a cat mask.

Ye Jiuge was also forced to wear a fox mask. "This kind of thing should be that if there are destined people, the two of them should become inseparable friends."

"The risk is too great." Bai Jinjin's mouth twitched. "What if I run into someone with that kind of shifty look?"

"Jinjin, you can't just look at people's faces." Bai Yu tried to correct Bai Jinjin's thoughts.

Bai Jinjin shrugged, "But there's also a saying that appearance is determined by the heart."

Bai Yu was left speechless.

"Don't worry, everyone who wears a mask has to pass the abbot's test in the temple before they can put on the mask." Bai Jing explained with a chuckle.

Bai Jinjin exclaimed in amazement, "Then I'm afraid Bai Lingling can't be brought along."

"Bai Jinjin, what are you talking about?!" As soon as Bai Jinjin finished speaking, Bai Lingling's sharp scream came from behind her.

Bai Jinjin was so frightened that she threw herself into Ye Jiuge's arms in panic. She turned her head and saw that it was Bai Lingling, then she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Just say what you want to say. Do you have to say it behind my back?" Bai Jinjin glared at Bai Lingling through the mask.

Bai Lingling snorted coldly when she heard this, "If you hadn't done anything wrong, why would you be so scared?"

"You reminded me, have you ever dreamed of ghosts at night?" Bai Jinjin looked at Bai Lingling mysteriously, her tone changing several times. "For example, who took your missing jade pendant?"

Bai Lingling's heart skipped a beat, and a sense of panic surged in her heart.

She looked at the person next to Bai Jinjin and saw that the person was also looking at her with cold eyes, the same eyes that Shen Yue had used to look at her that day.
