The next day.

Bai Jinjin was sitting in the classroom, clutching her sleeves nervously. Seeing this, Bai Jing, who was standing beside her, comforted her, "Don't worry, Jinjin, you will get good grades."

In order to wait for Bai Jinjin to speak, the teacher walked in with a lot of rice paper in his hands. He also took a special look at Bai Jinjin, his eyes revealing disbelief, but more of it was satisfaction that the boy was teachable.

"All the students did well on this test. It's clear that you all put in a lot of effort."

After being scolded by Bai Jing last time, Master Li had restrained himself somewhat. Although he no longer used sarcastic words, the disdain on his face was even more obvious.

"Master, may I ask you if we can know who among our students has the most profound understanding?"

When Bai Jing heard what Master Li said, his brows immediately furrowed. The teacher was very pleased to see Master Li make this request, as it was a good opportunity to praise the new student who had made progress.

"I think this suggestion from Master Li is very good. It will allow everyone to see the progress of the students."

Young Master Li was very confident. He had received praise from the Master on his last test and thought this one wouldn't be much worse. However, the Master picked up a piece of rice paper and said, "This is the Ninth Princess's rice paper. She is the student who made the most progress this time."

Everyone was shocked. How could this be possible? The Ninth Princess knew nothing. How could she be so proficient in just one month?

Master Li looked at Bai Jinjin in disbelief.

"Sir, are you mistaken?"

The Master looked at Master Li with dissatisfaction.

"Do you have any doubts about what Master Li said to me?"

Young Master Li stood up and pointed at Bai Jinjin and said, "Sir, the Ninth Princess clearly wasn't as good as me in the last test, so why is she the one who made the most progress this time?"

The teacher slammed the table in anger.

"Master Li, I think you should be more concerned about your test results than these. If the Ninth Princess has improved a lot, then Master Li, your results have regressed!"

Bai Jinjin covered her mouth and laughed secretly. She looked back and saw that Master Li's face was ashen. He originally wanted to humiliate Bai Jinjin, but he never thought that he would get himself involved.

When Master Li saw Bai Jinjin actually looking at him and smiling secretly, the young man's self-esteem was frustrated and he turned around and left, ignoring the teacher's call and leaving without looking back.

Bai Jinjin looked at Bai Jing with a confused expression. Seeing this, Bai Jing also shrugged like Bai Jinjin, indicating that he didn't know either.

The teacher was so angry that he almost fainted.

"A rotten tree cannot be carved. Never mind, let's go to class."

…

After school, Bai Jinjin rushed out to tell her cheap mother about this matter. She had to let her see her excellent grades.

Seeing her rushing around and almost bumping into someone, Bai Jing quickly grabbed her shoulders and said, "I know you're excited, but you have to be careful. Rushing around will cause you to bump into someone."

Hearing this, the originally excited Bai Jinjin calmed down and said with a chuckle, "Brother, I'm just too impatient. This result is unexpectedly good. I want to go show it to Dad and Mom right now!"

Bai Jing laughed out loud at her innocent look. "Then you should walk slowly. You're not the only one who's nervous today. I believe Concubine Ye and the Emperor are even more nervous than you. They've witnessed all your efforts."

Bai Jinjin's eyes turned and thought about it, then she might as well scare them.

Seeing the look in her eyes, Bai Jing knew that this girl must have some weird ideas again. He smiled and shook his head, and there was nothing he could do about her.

Bai Juncheng went straight to Jinyuan Palace after the morning court session. When he opened the door, he saw Bai Jinjin, who looked a little dejected. Concubine Ye was still comforting her. Bai Juncheng stepped forward and said, "Jinjin, one test doesn't mean anything. We can still work harder."

Concubine Ye secretly exchanged a glance with Bai Jinjin and took the bait.

Bai Jinjin looked very sad and threw herself into Bai Juncheng's arms, curling up into a small ball. Bai Jing, who was standing beside her, turned away in time for fear that she would laugh out loud, but Bai Juncheng thought that Bai Jing was sad for Bai Jinjin again, so he patted Bai Jinjin's back with heartache.

Suddenly Bai Jinjin began to tremble. Bai Juncheng thought Bai Jinjin was crying and didn't know what to do for a moment. Bai Jinjin finally couldn't help laughing out loud.

Bai Juncheng then realized that Bai Jinjin was lying to him. He pinched Bai Jinjin's nose with a little force and said, "Good, Jinjin, now you have learned how to lie to Daddy."

Bai Jinjin rubbed Bai Juncheng's neck and said coquettishly: "Hehe, Daddy Jinjin wants to give you a surprise. Daddy, don't be angry."

Bai Juncheng sat down helplessly, placed Bai Jinjin on his lap, and asked, "Then Jinjin, can you tell Daddy what the result is?"

Bai Jinjin handed the rice paper she brought from the teacher to Bai Juncheng. Bai Juncheng took the rice paper doubtfully and looked at the contents on it, his expression gradually becoming proud.

"Jinjin is so great! I'm going to hold a banquet to honor Jinjin!"

Bai Jinjin suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Dad, this isn't appropriate. Jinjin only did well on this test."

Bai Juncheng patted Bai Jinjin's head without question and said, "This is Daddy's decision. Jinjin just needs to attend the banquet."

Seeing this, Concubine Ye also said, "Please understand your father's feelings. He still hasn't gotten over the fact that you were praised by the teacher."

Bai Jing also agreed, "Yes, Jinjin, it's rare for the emperor to hold a banquet, it's okay."

Seeing that they all said this, Bai Jinjin didn't know what to say. She just sat in the chair with red cheeks and listened to Bai Juncheng arrange the precautions for Eunuch Li's banquet.

Bai Jing laughed silently and walked in front of Bai Jinjin.

"Alright, Jinjin, the palace hasn't held a banquet in a long time. Just treat it as attending someone else's banquet."

When Bai Jinjin heard him say that, the heat on her cheeks subsided a little, but she was still red.

"Well, at least I achieved my goal."

Bai Jing looked at her suspiciously and asked, "What's the goal?"

Bai Jinjin leaned close to Bai Jing's ear and said, "I've grown up so big and never once was I able to make Daddy proud of me. I finally did it in this test. Daddy is proud of me again."

Bai Jing's eyes softened when he heard this and said, "You've always been something I'm proud of. You don't need to prove yourself."

Bai Jinjin felt that what Bai Jing said seemed familiar.

"Brother, why did you say the same thing as mother?"

Bai Jing felt that this was within expectations.

"Because they all see the good in you, and some qualities in you that others don't have, so you are unique and everyone is different."

Bai Juncheng, who was standing by, obviously heard what Bai Jing said.
