After hearing Linglong's words, the queen could only wait for a while longer. She couldn't destroy her son's filial piety.
"Okay, in that case, I'll wait for the gift Yu'er wants to give me!"
Bai Jinjin looked at Bai Juncheng who was trying to make her happy and her eyes gradually became firm. No, she couldn't lose Bai Juncheng's face. He was so good to me, she couldn't let him go back empty-handed.
With such thoughts in mind, Bai Jinjin jumped out of Bai Juncheng's arms.
"Dad, Jinjin has something else to do, so she won't be with you and mom for now."
Bai Juncheng waved his hand in understanding.
"Go ahead, Jinjin. Play however you want as long as you're happy."
When Concubine Ye heard this, she nodded to Bai Jinjin, obviously supporting Bai Juncheng's statement.
Seeing this, Bai Jinjin walked out of Jinyuan Palace without any pretense. When the palace maids along the way saw Bai Jinjin, they suddenly stopped muttering.
This made Bai Jinjin very confused. Why did the group of palace maids kneel in the corner and tremble like mice seeing a cat when they saw her?
When passing by the rockery, the hairpin on Bai Jinjin's head suddenly fell off for some reason. Bai Jinjin bent down to pick it up, but before she stood up, she heard a few lazy palace maids discussing her.
"Have you heard about this?"
"What's the matter? Don't speak halfway."
"That's right, it's really annoying to say half of what you want to say."
"Oh, I haven't finished yet. Listen to me."
"Okay, okay, just tell me quickly."
"The story of the Ninth Princess is circulating in the palace."
Bai Jinjin was about to leave, but when she heard her own name, driven by curiosity, Bai Jinjin did not move, but sat there.
One of the palace maids clapped her hands and said, "Ah, I see you're talking about the Emperor withholding the teachers' salaries because of the Ninth Princess, right?"
The second maid nodded and said, "Not only that, I also heard that the Ninth Princess was thrown into a well that night because the maid got the wrong dress she wanted to wear."
"Oh my god, this is too horrible. How could this Ninth Princess, who looks so delicate and weak, act so cruelly?"
Palace Maid A nodded in agreement.
"Yes, one of the palace maids who got along well with me now works in the Ninth Princess's palace. She also said that the Ninth Princess treats the palace servants very well."
Palace Maid B waved her hand dismissively and said, "If he was truly kind to the palace maids, how could he have made up groundless accusations that the Ninth Princess was arrogant and domineering?"
Palace Maid C nodded in agreement and said, "I agree with her. I also heard that the palace maids who were punished by the Ninth Princess disappeared, so there is always a shortage of palace maids in the palace."
Palace maid Ding hugged her arms in fear.
"Oh my God, where did you hear this?"
Palace maid B looked at Palace maid D with a look on her face as if she was a foreigner.
"I heard that everyone in the imperial court and harem is buzzing about this matter. Do I still need to ask?"
"Then why hasn't the Ninth Princess shown her power yet?"
"Tsk, who in the palace dares to mention this matter in front of Her Highness the Ninth Princess? Just say that if Her Highness is in a good mood and forgives you, what about the Emperor?"
"Yes, the emperor has no limit to his favor towards the Ninth Princess. Be careful or he will beat you to death."
Bai Jinjin was completely bewildered by what these maids said. When had she ever punished the maids and kicked them out of the palace? Who had spread these rumors? It was too outrageous!
Bai Jinjin couldn't stand it anymore and prepared to get up and leave, but because she had been sitting for too long, her legs were numb and she only remembered sitting on the ground. The frightened palace maids hurriedly looked towards where Bai Jinjin was hiding.
Palace Maid A bravely walked to Bai Jinjin's side and saw Bai Jinjin's face clearly. She was so scared that she trembled all over and knelt down.
"Your servant, your servant pays homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
When the other palace maids heard that it was Her Royal Highness the Princess, they ran over in panic and knelt in front of Bai Jinjin.
"This servant pays homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Bai Jinjin was speechless for a moment. Please, before you salute me, can you please take a look at what posture my master is in?
Seeing several people's heads almost hitting the ground, Bai Jinjin said helplessly: "Hurry up and help me up."
When several palace maids heard Bai Jinjin say this, they hurried forward to pull Bai Jinjin up, cleaned the grass and dirt off her body, and then stood aside respectfully.
"Princess, please let us go."
"Yes, Princess, I heard it from hearsay."
"We servants will not talk nonsense anymore. Please forgive us, Your Highness."
Some even fainted. Bai Jinjin stared at the fallen palace maid with wide eyes.
I haven't even done anything yet, and you fainted? Is this a common practice in the imperial palace?
"I didn't say anything, why are you so scared?"
When several palace maids heard this, they knelt down with a thud.
"Thank you, Princess, for not killing me."
Bai Jinjin I touched my hair in confusion.
"So this is what the palace maids and eunuchs were whispering about all the way here."
Bai Jinjin brushed off the grass debris on her hands and said, "Where did you hear these rumors?"
Maid B bravely said, "We heard it from a young eunuch. He said he saw you slap the Sixth Princess in the Imperial Garden."
Did he slap Bai Lingling? In the Imperial Garden? Ah, now I remember, wasn't it that time when I saw clearly that she was a Black Lotus? I didn't expect someone to see it.
"You have no evidence to prove that I did these things, yet you are making random speculations in the palace and even spreading false accusations. What crime should you take?"
Is Bai Jinjin angry? Of course she is angry, just like a badger that can't find a melon, and when it finds one, it turns out to be its own melon.
When the palace maids saw that Bai Jinjin was angry, they all kowtowed and admitted their mistakes. Seeing how scared they were, Bai Jinjin sighed, waved her hand and let them go.
She continued walking towards Ye Jiuge's palace, leaving several palace maids looking at each other in bewilderment.
"This Ninth Princess seems to be different from the rumors."
"Yeah, she was very angry but she still let us go."
"Yes, it seems that the rumors in the palace are wrong. Someone must be maliciously trying to destroy the reputation of Her Highness the Ninth Princess."
When the palace maids heard this, they thought it made sense.
Bai Jinjin pushed open the door of Ye Jiuge's palace with anger, sat down beside Ye Jiuge angrily and sighed.
Ye Jiuge knew why Bai Jinjin was like this, but he put down his teacup and pretended not to understand and asked, "Why are you so angry?"
Bai Jinjin felt a little aggrieved.
"Don't mention it. I don't know what I did wrong. Now the whole palace is saying that I'm arrogant and domineering."
