"The things sent from the Western Regions are already precious, and the fireworks are even more so. Now that the eldest prince has said this, it must be that the matter has really been resolved."
"If it is true that every household in the Qin State can set off fireworks from now on, it will be amazing." Bai Juncheng did not expect that these two people could bring him such a big surprise in just a few days.
As soon as he finished speaking, some mages appeared outside.
The Queen Mother looked at the monks who came in one by one and smiled kindly, "Emperor, this must be what you prepared, right?"
"My queen mother is right. You recite scriptures and worship Buddha all day long. These monks are here to pray for you." Bai Juncheng also smiled knowingly.
Shen Yue also spoke at this time: "Mother, let's see what this mage is famous for."
Some of these mages have been bribed by Shen Yue, and she must make these mages expose Bai Jinjin's true identity on the spot!
"These are the highly accomplished monks in the Great Qin. I believe that with these monks praying for the Empress Dowager, everything will go smoothly for the Empress Dowager." Concubine Ye added.
These mages only appeared at the Empress Dowager's banquet after Concubine Ye had thoroughly investigated them one by one.
"This humble monk greets the Queen Mother." The leading monk bowed slightly to the Queen Mother.
"Greetings, venerable monk." The Queen Mother showed great respect to the leader.
The order of arrival of the monks in the temple is based on how many years they have stayed in the temple. This person is so young but can stand in the front. He must have great skills.
As they spoke, several monks performed some magic for the empress dowager.
But Bai Jinjin had seen all these spells before, like the one where paper was burned and could float and then disappear completely as long as the monk raised his hand. Isn't it just that there's something wrong with the paper?
While everyone was still shocked by the monk's skills, Bai Jinjin quietly took the empty seat next to Ye Jiuge.
"Why did you come down? Aren't you afraid that the Queen Mother will blame you?" Ye Jiuge asked jokingly.
Bai Jinjin rolled her eyes at him and said, "Don't worry, Grandma Huang is just being fooled by this so-called enlightened monk. She has no time to care about me."
Bai Jinjin was right. Every time the monk demonstrated his skills, the Queen Mother became more respectful to him.
"This monk is really powerful." Shen Yue said to the Queen Mother with a gleam in her eyes.
The Queen Mother nodded slightly. "Yes, I never thought that there would be such a powerful and accomplished monk in our Qin territory. I am truly amazed."
Then, the monk seemed to have received some guidance and took out the Buddhist scriptures from behind him, which caused an uproar again among the people present.
"Could this really be a high-ranking monk?"
"Could it be true that the emperor personally ordered it to be found?"
"Look, there's a ray of light behind that monk!"
Bai Jinjin saw this scene, but she just couldn't believe that this was some high-ranking monk. "Brother Ye, do you see a fishing line tied around his waist?"
Ye Jiuge just looked at Bai Jinjin and said "hmm" without even looking at her.
"Brother Ye, please take a look and don't just give me a perfunctory response." Bai Jinjin pushed his shoulder dissatisfiedly.
"I'm not trying to be perfunctory with you, but this kind of trick is the most common among the people in our country. Even if I don't see it, I know what it's all about."
Bai Jinjin nodded, "How do we expose this kind of thing?"
"Why should you expose it? Today is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. Just take it as a pleasure to see some folk tricks." Ye Jiuge propped up one leg and casually moved his arm. Such a casual and lazy movement made the women around him excited.
"Brother Ye, you are really good at attracting bees and butterflies. Look at the women around you, every one of them is staring at your face." Bai Jinjin could clearly tease the girl who appeared next to Ye Jiuge last time.
But for some reason this time she just couldn't stand the fact that some girl was staring at Ye Jiuge.
"Jinjin, are you jealous?" Ye Jiuge was very happy with this realization and asked with a smile.
Bai Jinjin turned her head away and said stubbornly, "Who's jealous? I don't have the time to be jealous of you."
Although Bai Jinjin kept denying it, Ye Jiuge felt that Bai Jinjin was shy.
Then he chuckled and put his head on hers, "Don't worry, my Brother Ye is only yours, no one else can take him away."
"That's more like it." Bai Jinjin said, but she couldn't help but smile.
This is what the wizard on the stage has demonstrated.
"Your Majesty, I have something to tell you, but I'm not sure if I should tell you."
The Queen Mother gave him a false support and said, "Master, please speak frankly."
"The Qin State has been in turmoil in the past few months, all because of the appearance of evil spirits in this palace." The wizard said firmly.
Upon hearing this, everyone at the banquet seemed to hold their breath, fearing that the man would fall on them.
The Queen Mother had long believed in the magic displayed by the wizard, so when he mentioned the existence of a demon, the Queen Mother seemed very anxious.
"I wonder if the Master could investigate whether this evildoer is in this palace?"
Bai Jinjin saw that the mage's eyes were always fixed on her, "Brother Ye, do you think this mage was sent by the Queen?"
Ye Jiuge also noticed the mage's gaze, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. "Maybe. He only started this topic after seeing the Queen nod to him. I guess this matter is directed at you."
"Humph, I really didn't expect that they would find a few pretentious liars to play the fool here and take advantage of the situation." Bai Jinjin almost wanted to applaud Chen Yue. She had only been under confinement for a few days, and she was already causing trouble.
"Don't worry, Empress Dowager. Let me calculate it carefully."
After saying that, the monk walked towards Bai Jinjin with something in his hand.
Bai Jinjin watched the monk getting closer and closer to her, but she was not panicked at all.
Everyone present was indeed in a panic and moved their bodies slightly, trying to avoid the monk's hand.
After the monk walked around the venue, he returned to the stage and said to the Queen Mother, "Your Majesty, the evildoer is at the banquet."
"Master, please let her reveal her true form as soon as possible." The Queen Mother stood up anxiously.
When the monk pointed his finger at Bai Jinjin, everyone present moved away from Bai Jinjin, only Ye Jiuge was still sitting next to Bai Jinjin.
"The monk said that I am a monster. Can you tell me what bad things I have done?" Bai Jinjin asked with a raised eyebrow.
The monk looked at her seriously, "You evil monster! The Ninth Princess once escaped death, but you took over her body. Come out now!"
"Yes, mother, Bai Jinjin has become different since the lychee incident. Many things have changed dramatically since she woke up." Shen Yue reminded the queen mother as if she suddenly remembered something.
