Concubine Ye was holding a food box and standing at the door, looking at the two of them with a friendly smile. Bai Jinjin felt something was wrong and whispered into Bai Juncheng's ear.
"Daddy, do you think Mommy's smile seems unusually kind?"
Bai Juncheng nodded in agreement and whispered, "Yes, Daddy also thinks your mother is a little too amiable today."
The girl got down from the dragon throne, ran to Concubine Ye and asked with a smile, "What did mother prepare for Jinjin to eat?"
She wanted to open the food box to see what was inside, but Concubine Ye moved her hand away and said, "Jinjin, this is for your father. You can't eat it."
Bai Jinjin suddenly realized that only her father was in trouble. She then turned around and looked at Bai Juncheng with a gloating look.
"Daddy, Mommy said this is for you, Jinjin, so don't eat it, Daddy, eat it quickly."
What a wonderful story of a loving father and a filial daughter. Bai Juncheng forced a smile and took a mouthful of the soup brought by Concubine Ye. His face turned green after one mouthful. He was about to spit it out, but when he met Concubine Ye's eyes, he swallowed it back.
Bai Jinjin looked at Bai Juncheng with a gloating look and said, "Daddy, is the soup made by Mommy delicious?"
Seeing this, Bai Juncheng forced a smile and gave Bai Jinjin a mouthful of soup in a flash.
Bai Jinjin's face wrinkled immediately and she swallowed.
"Mother, you are so jealous! Come on, Eunuch Li, I want a cup of tea."
Li Ji, who was trying to hold back his laughter, nodded hurriedly upon hearing this and walked out with trembling shoulders. After a while, he walked in with a calm expression and handed the tea to Bai Jinjin.
Bai Jinjin drank it in one gulp without caring about anything else.
"puff-"
The girl spat out the tea in her mouth.
"Oh my god, I'm so burned!"
Seeing this, Li Ji quickly knelt down.
"Princess, please spare me. I forgot to add warm water."
When Concubine Ye saw her precious daughter was burned like this, she hurried forward to check Bai Jinjin's mouth.
"Jinjin, quickly stick out your tongue so I can see if there are any blisters."
Bai Juncheng, who was standing by, looked at Li Ji angrily and said, "Li Ji! What's wrong with you today?!"
Li Ji, who was kneeling on the ground, was trembling and begging for mercy. Seeing this, Bai Jinjin hurriedly stopped Bai Juncheng.
"Dad, don't blame Eunuch Li. What else can this tea use instead of hot water? I didn't pay attention."
Bai Juncheng then let Li Ji go and said, "This is the Ninth Princess pleading for you. There can't be a next time!"
Li Ji nodded hurriedly, stood up and said, "I will go prepare milk tea for the Ninth Princess."
Seeing Bai Juncheng nodded, Li Ji ran out quickly.
…
Bai Lingling was sitting on a chair with the Empress above her. She felt somewhat uneasy. Seeing this, Shen Yue asked, "How did this matter get to the Emperor?"
Seeing that she actually questioned herself, Bai Lingling said with a bit of disdain in her eyes: "Shouldn't you ask the nanny beside the queen about this? Once you enter my room, take away all the valuables."
Shen Yue gnashed her teeth as she looked at Bai Lingling and said, "I told you to stay away from Yu'er, don't you understand?"
Having said that, Bai Lingling snorted coldly and said, "Then please, Your Majesty, keep an eye on the Second Prince. Lingling has never disobeyed Your Majesty's order."
Bai Lingling was already in a desperate mood, and without waiting for the Queen to say anything, she walked out. As she reached the door, she tilted her head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, you have seen what happened today. If your servant still wants to continue like this, I'm afraid I will have to see my father again."
Shen Yue looked at Bai Lingling in shock. She dared to threaten her without even finding her.
"Bai Lingling, don't forget that you can live your current life because of me."
Upon hearing this, Bai Lingling walked out of the Queen's bedroom without saying anything, leaving Shen Yue alone with a gloomy face watching her leaving.
"Did Ruyi Li Ma Ma say anything?"
Ruyi, who had been silent on the side, spoke up: "Madame Li is too old to bear the whipping and has passed out now."
Shen Yue snorted coldly, and gently placed her hand on the phoenix chair and said, "She has been by my side for so long, yet she has learned to pretend to obey me but actually disobey me. I will definitely not let her go."
Then he looked at Ruyi with sharp eyes.
"Beat her to death, and make her wish she were dead."
Ruyi nodded silently and retreated.
Bai Lingling felt that her plan could not be delayed any longer. She had already offended the Queen today. If she didn't quickly get Ye Jiuge to join her camp, she was afraid that she would not be able to live in the future.
She carefully opened the jewelry box left to her by her mother and picked out a night pearl. The quality of this night pearl was just average at best, but it was already the best thing in the entire jewelry box.
She pursed her lips and went to the imperial kitchen to get some cloth and cakes before heading to Ye Jiuge's palace. Along the way, Bai Lingling was already exhausted from carrying those things by herself.
When she arrived at the gate of Ye Jiuge's palace, she saw a group of palace maids and eunuchs bringing things that she had never used in her life into Ye Jiuge's palace.
"Hurry up, hurry up. This is something the Ninth Princess gave to Young Master Ye. No mistakes can be made."
The palace maid looked at the cloth in her hands with envy.
"My God, the Ninth Princess is so kind to Master Ye! This cloth is Shu brocade, and the princess only kept two pieces."
"Yes, yes, look at these things, they are all valuable."
Bai Lingling gritted her teeth at the door, but still took her things in. However, before she could see Ye Jiuge, she was stopped by the eunuch at the door.
The young eunuch took a look at what Bai Lingling was holding in her hand and looked at her with disdain.
"Which palace are you from? How dare you come here with such a simple thing?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Lingling's face turned pale and she put the thing in her hand on the ground.
"I am the Sixth Princess. Which palace do you think I belong to?"
The young eunuch looked down on Bai Lingling even more after hearing this, but he still gave a perfunctory salute with a look of disdain on his face.
"So it's the Sixth Princess. I wonder why she came to our hostage palace?"
Bai Lingling obviously understood what the young eunuch meant, so she angrily threw the thing in her hand to the ground and turned to leave the palace. The young eunuch kicked the thing away without even looking at it.
"Be careful when you take things so you don't break them!"
Ye Jiuge saw it clearly from the upstairs window. Bai Lingling still refused to give up. Looking at the things she took, she didn't think that she was living the same life as her, right?
He sneered and turned to walk downstairs. When the eunuch saw Ye Jiuge coming down, he walked towards him flatteringly.
