As the main person investigating this matter, Bai Jing also had complicated feelings, "Second brother..."
…
Bai Jinjin went to the village that was hit by the flood, and the villagers flocked to her when they saw her.
"Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess is here!"
"Your Highness!"
Mo Yunqiu, who was following not far away, looked at the scene in shock. It turned out that the flood control was real.
"Actually, I need your help with something today."
"Your Highness, you said that we will definitely help you as long as we can."
Bai Jinjin felt warm in her heart. "I want to make some winter clothes for the 100,000 soldiers on the border. I need a lot of people to help me because I have to finish it within ten days."
"So that's how it is. Don't worry, Princess, we will definitely help." The woman spoke first, and everyone echoed her.
"Thank you so much, everyone. But just you guys are not enough, so please invite your friends to come along, and I'll take care of the rest."
Because of Bai Jinjin's previous good deeds, many men volunteered to join in, but were blocked by the woman, "Why don't you stay home and look after the children?"
"Please collect goose and duck feathers, which will be used to make winter clothes."
These words made the women look at each other in confusion, but they nodded in agreement. "Don't worry, Princess! I promise it will be done!"
"Thank you so much, everyone."
"We should be thanking Princess. You saved us and are here to help the soldiers on the frontier. You are truly merciful!"
Sure enough, Bai Jinjin still couldn't accept the flattery. She smiled at the woman and ran away.
"It seems that Jinjin still finds it difficult to accept compliments?" Ye Jiuge saw her running towards him and knew that it must be the villagers praising her.
Bai Jinjin chuckled, "Part of it has been solved now, but there's still one more part left."
After saying that, he got on the carriage and returned to the stall where he had first painted sugar figures. "Hey, do you still recognize me?"
"Why are you here again?" The vendor looked at her in horror.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to do business with you. Can you draw?"
The vendor rolled his eyes at her and said, "Drawing sugar figures requires a prototype. Do you think I can draw one?"
Bai Jinjin coughed awkwardly. "How about this, I'll give you a silver ingot and you help me draw a picture?"
Of course the merchant would take such a good deal. He picked up the paper and pen below and said, "You'd be a fool not to make money. What's the plan?"
The girl smiled slyly, "Then listen carefully..."
Soon, the vendor put down his hand and said, "Come and see if this is the case."
"Very good! You did a great job!"
The vendor collected the silver on the table and said, "We exchange money for goods. It's a pleasure to work with you."
After taking a satisfied look at the blueprint, Bai Jinjin said, "Well done. I'll come to you again if something like this happens next time."
"No problem." The vendor bowed and looked very happy.
Ye Jiuge took the blueprint and looked at the structure, then smiled. "I didn't expect that you have such a clever idea in your little head."
Hearing this, Bai Jinjin said proudly: "Of course I can use my brain to think about it."
The two of them walked to the front of the Imperial Food Hall. The inside had been opened up and could accommodate everyone. The second floor was also very large. They walked in and saw rows of brand new looms.
Bai Jinjin looked at the old man standing at the door in shock, "Oh my god, old man, you guys are so fast!"
"These are the fastest. You can check the quality."
"No need!" Bai Jinjin took out the rice paper from her arms and handed it to the old man. "Go to the Dali Temple and give it to the Shaoqing there. He will give you the money."
"Thank you, Your Highness." Seeing the seal on the rice paper, the old man felt relieved and walked out slowly with his cane.
Bai Jinjin picked up the gongs and drums beside her and said, "Brother Ye, just watch!"
As he spoke he went out, and there was a banging of gongs, "Everybody! Come and see!"
Her grand appearance made everyone look at her.
"Look, isn't this the Ninth Princess?"
"That's right, why is Her Highness the Ninth Princess not in the palace but here?"
"Everyone! I'm here today for the 100,000 soldiers on the frontier. Winter is almost here, and they still don't have any winter clothes! So I'm asking all the women here to make cotton-padded clothes for you. I'll pay you accordingly!"
Many women rushed over and surrounded Bai Jinjin after hearing the news.
Bai Jinjin put the thick rice paper aside and said, "Everyone, just write your name on it and you can help make winter clothes!"
Many ministers’ wives and daughters were also there. They were all the wives of ministers that Bai Jinjin had rescued from prison before.
"Of course we have to support the Ninth Princess in this matter! She's also doing this for the soldiers on the frontier!"
Because of their words, more people came forward actively.
Many ministers' wives came forward to help remember the names, and Bai Jinjin went in to explain the procedure to them. She then told everyone not to throw away the duck feathers and goose feathers in their homes.
A series of assembly lines were arranged until it could operate normally.
After finishing these tasks, Bai Jinjin slumped down in a chair. "Ah, I didn't expect so many people to come. It was truly unexpected."
Ye Jiuge acted as a tea boy on the side, "Have a drink of water, we can go back to the palace soon."
Bai Jinjin nodded and gave the blueprint to Ye Jiuge, "Brother Ye, please help me to complete the last step."
The man nodded. "Then wait for me here."
Soon Ye Jiuge came back. Bai Jinjin stood up tiredly. Ye Jiuge sighed, walked forward and squatted. Bai Jinjin's eyes lit up and she pounced on him.
"Thank you, Brother Ye!" Bai Jinjin tried her best to make her voice sound normal, but her fatigue still showed through.
Ye Jiuge hid the pain in her eyes and said, "As a princess, I told you not to get involved in government affairs, but you didn't listen. Do you regret it now?"
"I won't regret it. It's such a good thing." Bai Jinjin was so sleepy that she fell asleep on his back.
“Good things don’t happen in a day…”
There was a soft breathing sound coming from behind. Ye Jiuge pursed his lips and said softly: "I really can't do anything about you."
The setting sun cast its shadow, merging the two figures into one.
"Jinjin, Jinjin?"
Bai Jinjin vaguely felt someone calling her in her sleep and opened her eyes reluctantly, "Who is it? I haven't slept enough."
"You need to go back to the palace. Go back and sleep."
"But I'm so sleepy." Bai Jinjin fell asleep without waiting for the person opposite to answer.
Bai Jing and Ye Jiuge were left looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Since Jinjin has fallen asleep, leave her to me. I will send her back."
Ye Jiuge was very reluctant but still put Bai Jinjin in his arms.
"Excuse me, Prince."
