Concubine Ye picked up the teacup and looked sideways at Bai Jinjin's seat. Sure enough, it was empty again.
He shook his head and said, "He said he would sit here all the time, but he disappeared in a moment."
Seeing this, Bai Juncheng smiled and said, "Jinjin is already at an active age. There's no danger here, so let her go and play."
When Concubine Ye heard Bai Juncheng say this, she didn't say anything more. There was no danger anyway.
Bai Jinjin here found the two little rabbits. It turned out that gossip does not discriminate between genders or races.
Rabbit Two, holding a piece of grass in his mouth, said, "That little deer at Auntie Deer's house is really useless."
Another one asked curiously, "What's wrong? I just heard that Aunt Lu's son said he wants to be an elephant in the future."
Rabbit Two clapped his little paws and said, "That's right. He hangs out with the elephants every day and sometimes doesn't come home for days."
The other rabbit exclaimed in surprise.
"Is this true? Aunt Lu will be furious."
Rabbit Two spat out the grass in his mouth and said, "That's right. Aunt Deer has been angry for days now because she didn't dare to take action against such a precious thing."
The other rabbit sighed and said that life is so unpredictable.
Bai Jinjin was stunned when she heard this. Could animals even gossip about other species?
Bai Jinjin decided to go back. She felt that the more animal gossip she heard here, the more likely she would be attacked by small animals.
…
Ye Jiuge looked at the prey in the bag and thought it was enough, so he went back with the prey. He happened to meet the eldest prince who decided to take a look deeper.
When the two met, the atmosphere was not tense like in the palace. Instead, they ignored each other tacitly. Overall, the eldest prince was calmer than his other brothers.
As the two crossed paths, the eldest prince said in a deep voice: "A proton is a proton. Don't dream of something you won't get."
Ye Jiuge scoffed at this and said, "You mistook fish eyes for pearls, and you won't allow me to discover the real pearls?"
The eldest prince looked at Ye Jiuge with a complicated expression. The man who had killed them in the previous life said, "You won't succeed."
Ye Jiuge's eyes were filled with black mist, and he looked at the eldest prince with an empty and ruthless look.
"Don't speak too soon."
Seeing this, the eldest prince said nothing, slapped his horse and ran over. After running far away, the eldest prince's stiff back finally relaxed.
He didn't expect Ye Jiuge to have such a great influence on him, nor did he expect that Ye Jiuge was so ambitious that he actually wanted the throne. Now that he has found out, it seems that he has to consider the follow-up matters.
Ye Jiuge had no idea about this matter. He thought the eldest prince was talking about Bai Jinjin, so he reacted so strongly.
After the eldest prince left, Ye Jiuge clenched his hands on the reins tightly and galloped out on his horse. He needed to relieve the morbidity in his heart, but not now, as it was too early.
By the time the four princes gathered together, the total amount of prey in the bags was only half of one bag. This realization made the third prince feel a little frustrated.
I don’t know what happened to the animals in this forest. It was as if they knew that I would go hunting and hid without a trace. These few of them finally discovered a few rabbits in the tree holes by themselves.
He thought he had found the animals' hiding place, but the animals all disappeared as if they had received a command.
The eldest prince obviously had not yet recovered from what Ye Jiuge said, and he perfunctorily answered all of his brothers' questions.
The fourth prince looked at the eldest prince in confusion, walked up to him and patted his shoulder, but the eldest prince rebounded by slapping his hand away.
"Brother, what's wrong with you? Why are you so absent-minded? And you only shot three eagles."
The eldest prince came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Sorry. I was lost in thought. I found this prey with great difficulty deep in the forest."
Seeing that the Fourth Prince wanted to ask something, the Second Prince interrupted him and said, "Fourth brother, I think my elder brother was a little distracted while searching for prey. Why are you asking so many inquiries?"
Seeing this, the Fourth Prince had no choice but to give up. As time was running out, the four of them had to rush back to the camp. When they put down the prey and went back to the tent, Ye Jiuge had been waiting there for a long time.
Seeing the four princes finally emerge from the forest, Bai Juncheng said jokingly, "You've exceeded the time limit, so you'll have to count the prey tomorrow morning."
Bai Lingling was a little worried. She watched Ye Jiuge release his prey one after another, and decided to wait until midnight to burn Ye Jiuge's prey.
The eldest prince smiled when he heard Bai Juncheng say this, "It is my fault that I came back late and made you wait so long."
The Queen then spoke up, "Well, well, Your Majesty, it's getting late, and the children have been tired all day in the forest. Why don't you have dinner first?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Jinjin followed the Queen's lead and said, "Yes, yes, Daddy Jinjin is hungry too. Let's eat quickly."
Bai Juncheng laughed out loud when he heard Bai Jinjin say this and said, "Jinjin, you've already had snacks all afternoon, why are you still hungry?"
Bai Jinjin looked around awkwardly and found Ye Jiuge looking at her with a smile in his eyes. She awkwardly tugged at Bai Juncheng's sleeve to signal him to stop talking.
Concubine Ye caught a glimpse of Bai Jinjin's little action and found it amusing in her heart. She said to Bai Juncheng, "Your Majesty, I'm sure everyone has been waiting here all day and must be very tired. This snack is really not filling. Let's go and have dinner."
Bai Juncheng heard Concubine Ye say this and said, "Concubine Ye is right. Let me prepare dinner."
Upon hearing this, Bai Jinjin saw Ye Jiuge blinking at her, indicating that she would go back to have dinner with him later. Ye Jiuge looked at the girl's little action with amusement and nodded to indicate that he understood.
Sitting in the tent, Bai Jinjin said that she wanted to eat by herself in the tent. Bai Juncheng knew exactly what his precious daughter was going to do, and also knew that she had been holding it in for a whole day, so he agreed.
Bai Jinjin returned to the tent and saw the palace maids setting out the meal, then she waved her hand.
"Take these meals to Ye Jiuge's tent. This princess wants to dine with him."
So Bai Jinjin brought a few palace maids to Ye Jiuge's tent. Seeing that Ye Jiuge was indeed having his meal alone, she ran and jumped to Ye Jiuge.
"Brother Ye! I'm here!"
Ye Jiuge looked at Bai Jinjin outside the tent and the palace maid holding the food box behind her, then looked at the food on his table. It seemed that today's dishes were very rich.
Bai Jinjin unceremoniously sat down opposite Ye Jiuge and asked the palace maids to place the food in the food box on the table. After the palace maids left, Bai Jinjin excitedly asked, "How was it? Brother Ye, did your hunting this afternoon go well?"
