The next day.
Bai Jinjin was woken up before dawn. "As a princess, shouldn't I just sit there and wait for the banquet to begin?"
"Your Highness, you also need time to dress up." Zi Ling helplessly helped Bai Jinjin's fallen body up.
"Then won't I have enough time to get dressed at noon?" Bai Jinjin said as she broke free from Zi Ling's hand that was supporting her back.
Seeing this, Zi Ling retorted, "It was the princess who said yesterday that she would go out with Young Master Ye this morning. Why did Her Highness change her mind?"
Hearing this, Bai Jinjin raised her hands in surrender, "I admit defeat, dress me up."
Why does it seem like I have less time now that I have a boyfriend? Bai Jinjin pondered expressionlessly until Zi Ling finished dressing her.
"Your Highness the Princess is indeed a walking clothes rack." Zi Ling praised from the side.
Bai Jinjin smirked and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Ziling."
After saying that, he walked out of Jinhua Palace. Ye Jiuge had been waiting outside the palace gate for a long time. "Did you oversleep today?"
"Brother Ye, I found that my sleep time has been greatly shortened after we were together." Bai Jinjin complained.
Ye Jiuge looked at the girl's resentful eyes and laughed, "What's so difficult about this? Just go to my place and have another sleep, won't it be fine?"
How can this be the same? Bai Jinjin stared at Ye Jiuge with dead eyes, "Forget it, Brother Ye, just accompany me to visit Grandma Huang."
Although he didn't understand, Ye Jiuge still accompanied her to the Queen Mother's palace.
Unexpectedly, when Bai Jinjin came in, Bai Lingling was actually talking to the Queen Mother. What’s more important is that the Queen Mother was looking at her happily?
"Grandma Empress." Bai Jinjin said with a smile looking at the empress dowager.
The Queen Mother was even happier when she saw Bai Jinjin. "Jinjin, come quickly. The Sixth Princess brought something that you might need after you come of age."
Bai Jinjin's heart skipped a beat. "What important thing?"
"It's a list of names of princes' children." Bai Lingling looked at Bai Jinjin with a strange smile on her face and deep eyes. "Jinjin, you are the emperor's favorite princess. Your husband must be the most outstanding man in the Qin Kingdom."
The Queen Mother nodded in satisfaction, "Yes, I think General Fuyuan's family is doing well without Lin Shuzhan."
"Grandma Empress, the general who guards the country is coming back today, why are you worried about the weather?" Bai Jinjin tried to change the subject.
"Jinjin, I think Mo Yunqiu is a good kid too." The Queen Mother had one more candidate after being reminded of this.
Bai Jinjin was numb, and she chuckled softly as she hugged the empress dowager's arm, "Grandma, Jinjin hasn't stayed in Daddy's heart long enough, and it took a lot of effort to ease the relationship with Grandma."
The Queen Mother thought so too, and touched Bai Jinjin's head lovingly, "Okay, okay, then Jinjin will stay for a few more years."
After getting the Queen Mother's affirmation, Bai Jinjin glanced at Bai Lingling imperceptibly when the Queen Mother turned her head to drink tea.
You little trash, you dare to go against me and try to make things difficult for me. It's so ridiculous.
"Grandma, remember to dress up for today." Bai Jinjin said to the Queen Mother coquettishly, "Today is a very important day. We must give the General the full respect."
The Queen Mother chuckled and rubbed Bai Jinjin's head. "Okay, Grandma, I will definitely dress up as Jinjin asked today."
…
Bai Jinjin sat in her seat, bored as she watched everyone come in one after another. "Brother Ye, isn't this too boring?"
"Weren't you very excited this morning?" Ye Jiuge looked at Bai Jinjin with a smile, "Why do you look so listless now?"
"Don't mention it. I almost got arranged to marry someone when I went to the Empress Dowager's palace this morning." Bai Jinjin said this without any preparation.
The moment she finished speaking, Bai Jinjin froze and slowly turned her head to look at Ye Jiuge.
As expected, Ye Jiuge's face turned gloomy.
"Jiuge, calm down, I have pushed it back." Bai Jinjin grabbed Ye Jiuge's hand and said hurriedly.
Damn it, I’ve been spoiled by the villain for so long that I’ve forgotten that he’s a man who kills without blinking an eye!
"Besides, this is a party, calm down."
Only then did Ye Jiuge calm down.
"Let's raise our glasses to celebrate. The general has eliminated the hidden danger for my country." Bai Juncheng raised his glass while sitting on the dragon throne.
The ministers in the audience stood up and raised their glasses, "Your Majesty, congratulations!"
"General Zhenguo, I am deeply shocked by your performance in this battle." Bai Juncheng raised his glass to General Zhenhun alone.
Bai Jinjin sighed deeply as she watched the ministers toasting and chatting with each other. "This banquet wasn't hosted by my eldest and second brothers. It looks so boring."
"Father, today is a good day for the general to return. I heard that my ninth sister has prepared a dance and wants to show it off." Bai Lingling did not miss any opportunity to humiliate Bai Jinjin.
Bai Juncheng's smile faded slightly when he heard this. "Jinjin, your wound hasn't fully healed yet. If you're forcing yourself, you don't need to perform."
"I didn't expect that Sixth Sister would tell you all the surprises I prepared." Bai Jinjin patted Ye Jiuge's hand soothingly, then slowly stood up and said.
The ministers looked at each other in bewilderment. The Ninth Princess had never learned anything a woman should learn, and no one would force her to learn such things.
"I think that the Ninth Princess may not be fully recovered yet, so it may not be appropriate for her to dance." General Fuyuan said with a bow.
Bai Juncheng nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, "I think General Fuyuan..."
"But the Ninth Princess has already said it. It would be bad to go back on your word, right?" For the first time, Bai Lingling mustered up the courage to interrupt Bai Juncheng.
Hearing this, Bai Jinjin chuckled, "It seems that Sixth Sister is not going to let me go after I perform this dance today."
A teasing remark made everyone point the finger at Bai Lingling.
"Sixth Princess is really asking too much."
"Princess Nine, what you said sounds so sad."
"She's not even healed yet, and yet she wants the Ninth Princess to dance?"
“It’s incredible.”
"Since ancient times, the relationships between royal sisters have always been very strange."
Bai Yan frowned when he heard this. "Bai Jinjin said it, so we have to do it. Otherwise, isn't that just going against one's word?"
Bai Jinjin stood up, looked at her clothes, and stood in the middle of the hall. "Since everyone wants to see my dancing ability, then I will let you see it."
He glanced at the musician, who nodded and tapped his instrument gently.
Bai Jinjin slowly raised her arm and shook it gently, exposing the wound on her arm to everyone.
As the hem of her skirt swayed, the light reflected by Bai Jinjin's body swayed, making her look like a broken elf, appearing and disappearing.
The music ended and Bai Jinjin stood up, panting slightly.
