"The Ministry of Internal Affairs said that the Ninth Princess and Concubine Ye are the ones who use the most Shu brocade every day. How could they like other materials? That's why they didn't make clothes for the Ninth Princess, and even clothes for Concubine Ye were not made." The young eunuch answered Bai Juncheng tremblingly.
The veins in Bai Juncheng's temples bulged when he heard this. "Call the chief steward of the Imperial Household Department!"
Li Ji also agreed angrily and went to the Ministry of Internal Affairs in person with the chief steward.
"Your servant greets the emperor." The chief steward of the Imperial Household Department knelt on the ground and trembled.
"Chen Kang, how long have you been in this Imperial Household Department?" Bai Juncheng asked calmly while sitting on the dragon throne and wiping Bai Jinjin's clothes with a cloth.
Chen Kang raised his head tremblingly, "I have been in the Imperial Household Department for twenty years."
"Twenty years, very good." Bai Juncheng nodded expressionlessly.
He put down the cloth in his hand, looked at Chen Kang and said, "I asked the eunuch to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get the Ninth Princess's clothes. What did you tell me?"
Chen Kang's face turned pale immediately. "Slave, I didn't know that man was sent by the Emperor."
"Why do you still treat people differently in your Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Bai Jinjin asked sarcastically as she sat on the dragon throne with Bai Juncheng.
When Chen Kang saw Bai Jinjin actually sitting in Bai Juncheng's toilet, his legs went weak and he collapsed to the side.
"Chen Kang, did you do something that requires me to remind you?" Bai Juncheng threw the pen holder aside and asked in a sharp tone.
"I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this time, Your Majesty." Chen Kang saw that he could not escape the situation, so he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Bai Juncheng, crying bitterly.
Bai Jinjin sneered, "Master Steward, you weren't like this when I came to see you."
After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Bai Juncheng, "Daddy, Jinjin hasn't come to see you these past few days, so I thought Daddy wasn't interested in Mom and me anymore. He withheld our coal and food. Even Brother Ye was implicated for playing with me."
Bai Jinjin said this while looking at Bai Juncheng with red eyes.
Bai Juncheng rubbed her little face with heartache, and looked at Chen Kang with eyes that seemed to shoot knives, "When did I ever say that Concubine Ye had fallen out of favor? And who said that I no longer love Jinjin!"
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. Please give me another chance." Chen Kang was now speechless and could only kneel down and beg for mercy.
"From now on, everything in Concubine Ye's palace will remain the same. No one is allowed to deduct it. If I knew that you desperate dogs dared to commit treason, I would take you all out and behead you!" Bai Juncheng said to Chen Kang with gritted teeth.
As if he was still not satisfied, he stepped forward and kicked Chen Kang out, "Execute me now!"
Chen Kang didn't dare to cry out in pain after being kicked. He quickly stood up, kowtowed, and tried to crawl out.
"Wait a moment." Bai Jinjin stopped him, staring into his eyes and said, "Send the coal from Young Master Ye to me immediately. If I don't see it, you'd better watch your head."
Chen Kang nodded in agreement and stood up to leave Longqing Palace.
Bai Jinjin's clothes were wet and she felt really uncomfortable. "Daddy, Jinjin is really uncomfortable. I'll go back and change them first."
"Jinjin, you'll definitely catch a cold if you go out like this." Bai Juncheng hurriedly stopped Bai Jinjin when he heard that she actually wanted to go back like this. "Li Ji, go to Jinhua Palace and ask the maid there to bring a set of clothes for the Ninth Princess."
Li Ji responded and went downstairs.
"Jinjin, is your mother still angry with me?" Bai Juncheng asked tentatively.
Bai Jinjin nodded, "Yes, mother thought that the deductions from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were arranged by father."
Bai Juncheng immediately wanted to kill Chen Kang, "Then remember to explain to your mother when you go back that this matter has nothing to do with me."
"Why can't Daddy go by himself?" Bai Jinjin questioned in her soul.
Bai Juncheng cleared his throat and said, "Don't worry about this matter. Just repeat what Daddy said."
Bai Jinjin shrugged, "Okay then."
"Your Majesty, I have brought the clothes." Li Ji walked in with a bundle in his hand.
"Eunuch Li, give it to me quickly. It's too uncomfortable for me to change into this outfit now." Bai Jinjin got down from the dragon throne and went straight to the things on Li Ji's cell phone. After getting them, she went directly to the side hall.
The bun on her head was also a little messed up by the snow. Bai Jinjin put on a light blue embroidered jacket. The palace maid combed her hair into a beautiful bun and she walked out of the side hall slowly.
"Okay, Daddy, I'll leave now." Bai Jinjin said, holding the paper umbrella handed to her by the palace maid.
As Bai Jinjin stepped out of the gate of Longqing Palace, she saw Concubine Rou sitting in a sedan chair passing in front of her. Bai Jinjin gave her a displeased look.
"How could the Ninth Princess do such an indecent thing?" Before Concubine Rou could say anything, the maid Jixiang beside her spoke arrogantly.
Bai Jinjin sneered and looked at Ruyi, "Who the hell are you to yell at this princess?"
"I am wrong. As His Majesty's favorite princess, how come you have never learned any etiquette?" Jixiang said arrogantly when he saw that Concubine Rou did not stop.
Everyone in the palace knows that Concubine Rou is no longer the same as before, and Concubine Ye is no longer a favorite concubine. Bai Jinjin is only favored because the emperor likes Concubine Ye.
"Jixiang, stop talking nonsense." Concubine Rou looked very serious, but there was no reprimand in her tone.
"I am not talking nonsense. The Ninth Princess never bowed to you when she saw you, even though she was once a favored princess. But she is not like that now. She should bow to you like you." Jixiang became more and more excited as he spoke, and his voice became louder and louder.
Bai Jinjin didn't say anything, but walked towards Jixiang with an expressionless face and slapped him without hesitation.
"You!" Jixiang covered his face and looked at Bai Jinjin in disbelief.
"How can a servant like you judge what I am like?" Bai Jinjin said with a faint smile.
Concubine Rou didn't expect Bai Jinjin to take action directly, and was about to speak.
"This princess advises Concubine Rou not to ask for mercy. You have always been unexpectedly gentle and kind, and you may not know the bad nature of this servant." Bai Jinjin stopped Concubine Rou from saying anything with her small hand, and looked straight at Ruyi, "This kind of servant will not be honest unless he is beaten."
"Someone come here!"
Bai Jinjin shouted, and the guards of Longqing Palace rushed out, "What do you want, Princess Nine?"
"Lock up this disrespectful servant for this princess and don't allow her to eat or drink. Release her after two days!" Bai Jinjin ordered.
Jixiang's face turned pale, "Empress Rou, save me!"
As he said this, he was taken away by the guards.
"Your Highness the Ninth Princess, please forgive others when you can." Concubine Rou said.
Bai Jinjin looked at Concubine Rou with clear eyes, "Do you really think so?"
The gaze was too clear, and Concubine Rou looked away unnaturally.
