"Jinjin, what happened between you two?" Bai Yu asked, unable to suppress his curiosity.
Bai Jinjin shrugged, "It's a long story."
Ye Jiuge sat opposite Bai Jinjin, and the rules of Qin State seemed particularly strange at this moment.
The princes and princesses sat in one row, and on the other side were the concubines and Ye Jiuge.
"Send this plate of crab meat to Brother Ye." Bai Jinjin handed the plate to Zi Ling and asked her to pass it over.
Ye Jiuge chuckled after receiving the crab meat. This little girl really treated everyone equally.
"You can try this." Bai Yan picked up a piece of his favorite fried bamboo shoots with pork and gave it to Bai Jinjin with chopsticks.
Bai Lingling, who was sitting across the table, knew that she had lost another brother. This Bai Jinjin was really good at taking advantage of others.
"This dish is surprisingly delicious." Bai Jinjin took a bite and said to Bai Yan with shining eyes.
This made Bai Yan a little overwhelmed. He had never been looked at like this before.
"Eat more if you like it." Bai Yan pushed the plate in front of Bai Jinjin in panic.
Bai Juncheng looked towards Bai Jinjin in surprise, then turned his head and looked at the empress dowager and instantly understood.
"It seems that our Jinjin has another brother who dotes on her?" Bai Juncheng looked at Concubine Ye beside him with a leisurely look.
Concubine Ye raised her eyebrows when she heard this, "Even without him, it's enough."
She holds a grudge, and every time Jinjin is picked on, the third prince always gets involved.
"You can't say that. Jinjin has been working hard to be accepted by her brothers." Bai Juncheng gave Concubine Ye a glass of fruit wine.
The place where Concubine Ye sat was the Queen's phoenix chair, but Concubine Ye cared more about Bai Yu's thoughts, so she never took the imperial edict.
"Empress Ye, it's time to make you the queen." The Queen Mother suddenly mentioned this.
These words silenced all the concubines, as they did not want Concubine Ye to sit on the phoenix throne.
"Empress Dowager, you should think twice before doing this." Concubine Kang suddenly said.
With this person taking the lead, the other concubines also began to speak.
"Let's examine it."
"I'm afraid this is against the rules."
"Then according to what you said, what do you want to do?" Bai Juncheng looked at the concubines jokingly and spoke.
Concubine Ye glanced at them and drank her soup calmly. What good is this queen doing to a bunch of fools?
"At least we should rely on the strength of our family." Rongpin said calmly.
What a bullshit! Even though she looks like she has no desires, she still has some desire for the position of queen, Bai Jinjin thought to herself unkindly.
But everyone looked at Rongpin as if she was a fool. Everyone knew that Concubine Ye's family was prominent, so comparing herself with her was just courting death.
puff.
Bai Jinjin grabbed Bai Yan's sleeve and held it in front of her in an attempt to stop her from laughing.
"What are you doing?" Bai Yan looked at Bai Jinjin in surprise.
Bai Jinjin rolled her eyes at him and said, "Isn't it just borrowing your sleeve? Don't be so stingy."
That's not what he meant. Bai Yan looked at Bai Jinjin helplessly and put his hands in front of her.
"Is Princess Nine feeling unwell?" Rongpin's family may not be as powerful as Noble Concubine Ye's, but they are at least equally powerful. "Your face is so red."
"Thank you for your concern, Concubine Rong. I'm just a little hot, that's all." Bai Jinjin adjusted her facial expression and responded with a smile.
"That's good. I thought the Ninth Princess laughed out loud because of this solemn occasion." Rongpin smiled and told what Bai Jinjin had done.
Concubine Ye put down the bowl in her hand heavily and asked, "Have you finished writing the Buddhist scriptures, Concubine Rong?"
To directly expose the weakness, Rongpin's family instructed the girls to focus on learning needlework and did not let them get involved in poetry and songs.
"Your Highness, I still have a lot to learn." She was embarrassed by having exposed Rongpin's secrets in front of so many people. "I'm almost done writing the Buddhist scriptures."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother nodded in satisfaction, "Princess Rong, please study the Buddhist scriptures carefully. I have benefited greatly from them."
"Third brother, don't you want to try the corn pancakes made in the imperial kitchen?" Bai Lingling didn't have time to see what was happening in the hall. She just wanted Bai Yan to eat what was on his table.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yan picked up a piece of corn pancake and was about to put it into his mouth.
"Third brother, why don't you let Sister Ling try it? After all, there is nothing like this on her table." Bai Jinjin stopped Bai Yan who was about to eat and reminded him.
Hearing this, Bai Yan put down the corn pancakes and handed a plate to Bai Lingling.
Bai Lingling's face turned pale and she forced a smile, "Thank you, Third Brother, but I don't really like sweet things."
"It's okay, Third Brother, I have corn pancakes here too. Believe me, they're delicious." Bai Jinjin picked up a piece and handed it to Bai Yan, knocking his chopsticks to the ground as if accidentally. "Zi Ling, quickly ask the palace servant to change a pair of chopsticks."
"Jinjin, you are too careless." Bai Yu patted Bai Jinjin's head and said with a chuckle.
Zi Ling really wanted to slap Bai Yu's claws from behind. Princess, this is saving his life!
"If you can't say anything to refute Concubine Ye's taking the throne, I think this matter can be put on the agenda." Bai Juncheng looked at Concubine Ye gently and said.
For a moment, the concubines were speechless. Concubine Lin then stood up and said, "Your Majesty, we have no objection. However, the Empress passed away not long ago. Is it really a good idea to be so hasty in appointing a new Empress?"
Seeing everyone's eyes focused on her, Concubine Lin paused, "And isn't Your Majesty afraid that the Second Prince will be upset by doing this?"
Bai Yu, who was suddenly called out, looked confused. Isn't this a discussion about who will be the queen?
"Father, this matter means nothing to me." Bai Yu quickly stood up and distanced himself from the matter.
He would miss his queen mother, but he didn't miss the queen mother who had always been sitting on the phoenix throne.
After being touched on the face, Concubine Lin's face turned pale. She didn't expect that the second prince would be so tactless.
"Since the second prince has no objection, Concubine Lin, don't worry too much." The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Lin with sharp eyes and spoke lightly.
Seeing this, Concubine Lin could only sit down awkwardly.
"Then after the Three Kingdoms Banquet, I will officially enthrone Concubine Ye as the queen." Bai Juncheng chuckled and said to the speechless crowd.
Bai Jinjin was choked and patted her chest hard. Finally, Bai Yu handed her a glass of fruit wine and helped her swallow it.
"Second brother, what did you give her to drink?" Bai Jing looked at Bai Jinjin, whose face was flushed, and looked at Bai Yu in confusion, "Why does she look a little strange?"
Bai Yu looked stiffly at the fruit wine in his hand, "Brother."
Seeing Bai Jinjin lying on the table, Bai Jing frowned and looked at the wine glass in Bai Yu's hand, "How could you give her fruit wine?"
"It was an emergency, so I just handed her a cup..."
