next day
The second prince and the third prince got together to discuss how to avenge Bai Lingling's anger from yesterday. The third prince just took out the itching powder he had secretly collected.
He was told by the eunuch beside him that his father had summoned him, so he hurriedly stuffed the thing in his hand into the arms of the second prince and left in a hurry.
Only the second prince was left looking at the object in his hand. He raised his eyebrows and put the thing into his arms.
Bai Jinjin was woken up by the maids before she had enough sleep. She let the maids dress her up with sleepy eyes.
When I was fully awake, I saw myself in the bronze mirror wearing a royal blue top with plum blossoms on it and a white pleated skirt underneath, which made my skin look crystal clear. I had a double bun on my head with a pink floral glazed hairpin with a small diamond tassel in the middle.
Bai Jinjin sighed that she was so beautiful that the palace maid beside her covered her lips and laughed.
At this time, the maid announced that the second prince came to apologize for what happened yesterday. Bai Jinjin looked surprised and confused. She nodded and was led by the maid to the main hall.
Before I even stepped into the door of the hall, I heard the second prince Bai Yu complaining about this and that.
Bai Jinjin felt ashamed after hearing this. "Then you don't have to come! Who begged you to come?"
Bai Yu glanced at Bai Jinjin who came in and immediately smiled and said, "Ninth sister, you are here."
Bai Jinjin nodded stiffly. Bai Yu felt a heat on his hand. He turned his head and saw that the "gift" in his hand was wet by the hot tea!
She quickly wiped the gift with her hand. When Bai Jinjin saw the milk tea spilled on the table, she immediately asked the palace maid to wipe the water off her hand as soon as it touched her.
Her hands began to itch unconsciously. Although she tried her best to hide it, Bai Jinjin still noticed it. She didn't say anything and quietly told the maid to call Bai Juncheng.
Bai Yu packed up the "gift" and looked up, only to see Bai Jinjin staring at him with an unclear look, and he couldn't help feeling guilty.
"Okay, Ninth Sister, this is my apology gift to you. Open it and see if you like it."
Bai Jinjin signaled to the maid beside her to give her the gift. Seeing this, Bai Yu became anxious and yelled at the maid.
"Get out of here! This prince made this gift himself. Do you think a maid like you can touch it?"
The maid was so frightened that she stepped back and knelt down to beg for mercy.
Bai Jinjin now dared to conclude that there must be something wrong with the gift. Just when Bai Jinjin was about to touch the gift.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Bai Yu was so frightened that his heart trembled. Seeing this, Bai Jinjin took this opportunity to knock over the gift and blow the silk inside on his face.
Bai Juncheng, who was outside the hall, heard the shouting and rushed in. He saw his precious daughter hiding in the arms of a maid, while Bai Yu stared at Bai Jinjin with gritted teeth.
His hands kept scratching his cheeks, and there were already blood on many places on his neck, but Bai Yu still didn't stop.
Bai Juncheng quickly stepped forward, picked up Bai Jinjin, looked at her with concern, and asked, "Jinjin, what happened? Are you hurt?"
Bai Jinjin's emotions were already brewing and tears were falling.
"Wuwuwu Daddy, Jinjin accidentally knocked over the gift that Second Brother gave her, and then Second Brother became what he is now. Jinjin is so scared."
Bai Juncheng was like an angry lion at this time, scolding Bai Yu harshly.
"Second Prince! I think you are tired of living. Don't think that I was being merciful by sparing you yesterday!"
He gently placed Bai Jinjin on the seat and told Bai Jinjin with a gentle expression.
"Don't be afraid, Jinjin. Daddy will help you solve it."
Bai Jinjin nodded with tears in her eyes, which made Bai Juncheng's heart soften.
He turned around and stood with his hands behind his back, staring at Bai Yu with sharp eyes. At this time, Bai Yu was already trembling with fear at Bai Juncheng's aura, but he still pretended to be calm and stood upright in the center of the hall again.
Seeing Bai Yu didn't say a word, he shouted in a cold and piercing tone: "Immediately! Summon the Queen!"
Bai Yu looked at the man in front of him in disbelief.
"Your Highness, I was just joking with Bai Jinjin. Why would you do this?"
Seeing that Bai Yu dared to talk back, Bai Juncheng was so angry that his whole body was shaking.
"This is my precious daughter! How can you just call this a joke?"
The queen, who had hurried over, quickened her pace as she heard Bai Juncheng's words and walked into the hall.
"Good luck to the Emperor."
Bai Juncheng snorted coldly when he saw the queen rushing over.
"How lucky I am to have such a son!"
The queen glanced at her son's face and her pupils shrank.
"Yu'er, what's wrong with your face?"
When Bai Juncheng heard the Queen's question, he turned around to look at Bai Jinjin, whose eyes were swollen, and quickly asked someone to bring ice to apply.
Bai Jinjin sighed in her heart. She was crying so hard that her eyes hurt!
Then he turned around and scolded the emperor loudly.
"Queen! This is the son you taught! How dare he attack the real Jinjin!"
The queen was shocked when she heard this and was about to refute it.
"Your Majesty, although Yu'er has a naughty temperament, this kind of thing was definitely an unintentional mistake by Yu'er."
Bai Juncheng raised his voice slightly and pointed at Bai Yu's face and said, "An unintentional mistake? Queen Huang, are you really getting old? If it had fallen on Jinjin's face, she would have been in danger of being disfigured!"
The queen was speechless after being confronted by Bai Juncheng and could only scold Bai Yu.
"Yu'er! How can you make such a joke? If you really make your joke come true, how will the Ninth Princess face the public and go out with her friends?"
Bai Jinjin heard it clearly from the back. This queen is really powerful. Bai Jinjin still doesn’t have a single friend. This is a physical attack and cannot be converted into a magic attack.
Although the queen scolded Bai Yu, her eyes were wandering to the scene where Bai Juncheng helped Bai Jinjin wipe her eyes, and she had a plan in her mind.
Seeing that it was almost time, the Queen said to Bai Yu, "From now on! The Second Prince is under house arrest for a month and no one is allowed to take him out!"
Bai Yu looked at the Queen in astonishment and said anxiously, "My Queen Mother, the autumn hunt will begin in two days. Please forgive me this time."
The queen's eyes were filled with disappointment. She gritted her teeth and said, "Someone, take the Second Prince away!"
In the end, Bai Yu’s resistance was ineffective and he was taken away, and the hall suddenly became quiet.
Seeing that Bai Juncheng had no intention of saying anything, the Queen bowed with a dark face and retreated.
Bai Jinjin patted Bai Juncheng's hand and said with a choked voice, "Daddy, what's the matter with the autumn hunt?"
Bai Juncheng hugged Bai Jinjin lovingly and explained softly, "Autumn hunting is when many people from the mansion go hunting together. Whoever kills the most small animals will be the champion..."
On the way back, the Queen thought to herself that anyone could see that Bai Juncheng favored Bai Jinjin.
But it is hard to say whether Concubine Ye will become more prestigious because of her daughter.
