Bai Jinjin agreed, then turned behind Bai Jing and threw herself on him with a smile, "In that case, carry me on your back, big brother~"
The young man helplessly lifted Bai Jinjin's small buttocks and said gently, "Jinjin is still a child. Then I will take the place of father and carry our Ninth Princess on his back."
Bai Jinjin swung her legs and said to Bai Jing with a sly look in her eyes, "In that case, I'd like to trouble His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to carry me to dinner."
The third prince stood not far away and watched his eldest brother carry Bai Jinjin away with a gentle expression, with a complicated expression. After chatting with his eldest brother that day, his opinion of Bai Jinjin was much less, but not completely gone.
She pursed her lips and finally turned away without following him.
When they were not far away, Bai Juncheng looked back at Bai Jinjin, only to see her bullying Bai Jing. He scolded her with a smile, "You little bastard! You've just left school and you're already bullying your big brother like this."
Bai Jinjin pinched Bai Jing's ear, raised her chin, and said, "Daddy, what do you know? I'm just trying to connect with my brother and sister."
The man raised his eyebrows and asked Bai Jing in a joking tone, "Jing'er, is this how you guys usually connect with each other?"
The girl lying on Bai Jing's back pressed down Bai Jing's head when she saw this. "Of course, Daddy, look, my brother is nodding."
Bai.Toolman.Jing could only nod helplessly, "Yes, Father Jinjin is trying to connect with me."
Soon they arrived at the palace, and Bai Jinjin slid down from Bai Jing's back, "Daddy! Jinjin wants to eat Eight Treasure Duck today!"
Bai Juncheng tapped her little nose and said, "Alright, Jinjin, go talk to the palace maid yourself."
Bai Jinjin wanted to say something, but Li Ji hurriedly brought the memorial and knelt in front of Bai Juncheng.
"Your Majesty! Border battle report."
Hearing this, Bai Juncheng didn't care about Bai Jinjin and the others, and strode into the palace. He solemnly opened the letter, but the content inside was not what he wanted to see.
Bai Juncheng threw the memorial in his hand away. "How could a general like him make such a low-level mistake? Even if we've fought against the grassland tribes before, we shouldn't underestimate the enemy!"
In this battle, Qin could have attacked and even forced them to retreat step by step. Even if they could not kill everyone, they could at least save a large number of soldiers. How could they be forced to retreat?
At the hour of Si, Bai Juncheng put on his court robes and sat on the dragon throne. He told the ministers about the incident, "The border has been lost! How could a general behave so recklessly?"
Bai Juncheng threw the teacup away fiercely, the veins on his neck bulging. "Now the border has fallen! The general who defends the country has an unshirkable responsibility!"
Mo Yunqiu, who was standing by, heard his father being insulted like this and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty! Isn't this situation caused by the court's failure to provide timely supplies? When the General Guardian of the Nation left, he only took away 6,000 elite soldiers! Is this the General Guardian of the Nation's fault?"
Bai Juncheng originally just wanted to reprimand the general, but Mo Yunqiu actually openly contradicted him. The man, who was already angry, became even angrier, and his face flushed with approval.
Like an enraged lion, "Mo Yunqiu! Who gave you the guts to contradict me? As a general! You acted recklessly, causing the people to be displaced! Is this because the court is short of supplies?!"
After these words were spoken, all the officials in the court fell silent, but Mo Yunqiu continued to speak for his father, "In military affairs, there are winners and losers. Father only lost a city, and there is still room for recovery!"
"A city?! You think you only lost a city! Do you know that the things in the city were plundered? Even if they took it back, it would still be a powerful crossbow! The city that could have been defended was lost because of his mistake. Where will you let those people live?"
Bai Juncheng's anger had reached its peak at this point. "Come here! Mo Yunqiu openly contradicted me and has no ability to distinguish right from wrong! Send all the personnel of the Zhenguo Mansion to the Heavenly Prison!"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please think twice!"
"Yes! Your Majesty, the general is very important to the Qin State, not to mention that the general is away on a campaign!"
An official walked up to Mo Yunqiu and said anxiously, "Hurry up and admit your mistake to His Majesty!"
But the stubborn Mo Yunqiu just stood there in a daze, "I didn't say anything wrong, why should I admit my mistake!"
The official frowned and pointed at Mo Yunqiu with a distorted expression, saying, "You! You thought you were helping the general, but you're actually harming him by doing this!"
Bai Juncheng's chest rose and fell dramatically. He was furious when he heard Mo Yunqiu's words. "Take Mo Yunqiu away now! Exile all the people from the Zhenguo Mansion! Execute now!"
Upon hearing this, the guard at the door rushed into the hall, clamped Mo Yunge's arms and pressed them on his back.
Seeing Mo Yunqiu being suppressed, Bai Juncheng stood up angrily and left with a flick of his sleeves. Li Ji on the side hurriedly shouted, "Withdraw from the court!" and followed closely behind Bai Juncheng.
The officials were helpless. The emperor had already issued the imperial edict, and there was no reason to retract it.
Just when the officials were at their wit's end, one of them patted his head and said with some joy, "Ninth Princess! There is still a Ninth Princess!"
The officials who had been saved by Bai Jinjin all smiled with joy upon hearing this. "Yes, we still have the Ninth Princess! The Ninth Princess can still help!"
The Prime Minister said disdainfully: "The Ninth Princess is just a child, what abilities can she have?"
If this national general died, it would be a good thing for him, and then he walked out of the hall.
The officials found a way to contact Bai Jinjin. Bai Jinjin, who was about to take a nap, was a little confused when she saw the official, "What does this gentleman want to talk to me about?"
"Your Highness! This is bad! The Emperor wants to imprison the entire Zhenguo Mansion in the Heavenly Prison because Mo Yunqiu contradicted him in court!"
Hearing this, Bai Jinjin suddenly perked up, "What did you say? Sending all the people from the Zhenguo Mansion to the Heavenly Prison?"
His tone was quite excited. Seeing the official nodded, Bai Jinjin asked anxiously, "Did Daddy say when it will be carried out?"
The official was also very anxious, "Your Highness! The Emperor carried out the imperial decree immediately."
Bai Jinjin quickly ran out, "Send someone to stop the people who are being exiled to Zhenguo Mansion! This princess will be there soon."
The official nodded and ran out without paying any attention to etiquette. Bai Jinjin hurriedly found a carriage, not even bothering to change her clothes. "Hurry up! This princess needs to leave the palace! To the General's Mansion!"
The driver, Bai Jinjin, looked anxious and whipped the horse's butt hard, and the carriage sped away.
Many imperial guards surrounded the Zhenguo Mansion, and the people around were talking about it.
