The second prince punched him and scolded him with a smile: "You little bastard, where is your marriage? Your brother is more like a peach blossom disaster."
Suddenly, both of them were patted on the shoulders. They were so frightened that they punched behind them, but the startled Fourth Prince caught their punches.
"Wow, what are you two doing? I just came to say hello."
When the Third Prince saw that it was the Fourth Prince, he breathed a sigh of relief and punched the Fourth Prince.
"You scared me to death."
The second prince standing aside had a face full of resentment.
"It's obvious that I'm the one who suffered the most, being frightened by you two in turn."
The three of them got along quite well. Bai Jing was watching their conversation from a distance. It seemed that he had to find a time to let them know that Bai Lingling was different from her previous life, otherwise he was afraid that these brothers would be pushed out by Bai Lingling.
Bai Jinjin searched everywhere for Bai Jing, and finally found him in one place. She walked forward lightly and pounced on him when the opportunity arose.
"Brother! What are you doing?!"
Bai Jing, who was thinking, was startled. He relaxed when he heard the familiar voice. He chuckled and grabbed Bai Jinjin's butt.
"Jinjin, you scared big brother."
Bai Jinjin lay on Bai Jing's back, rubbing her pink cheeks against Bai Jing's neck.
"Hey, big brother, Jinjin hasn't changed her clothes yet, go pick one for me, quick."
Her feet were still shaking unruly, and Bai Jing had no choice but to carry her to her bedroom.
The third prince saw this scene clearly. He looked at it in amazement and wondered if he was dazzled. He rubbed his eyes and looked over there, but the two people had disappeared.
He took a deep breath. It turned out that he had misjudged his elder brother. Why was he carrying Bai Jinjin on his back?
Bai Jinjin was drowsy on Bai Jing's back, and her little head hit Bai Jing's back with a "bang", and her confused mind suddenly became clear.
Feeling the impact on his back, Bai Jing turned his head to look at her in confusion.
"What happened to Jinjin?"
The girl looked at Bai Jing with a hazy look in her eyes and said in a soft voice, "I seem to have fallen asleep."
Seeing that the girl was still a little dazed, Bai Jing laughed and shook the little man behind him.
"Don't sleep, you are the protagonist today. We need to change clothes now."
Bai Jinjin patted her cheeks and shook her head from behind, saying, "I'm not sleepy! I'm not sleepy at all!"
The maid brought out three sets of clothes, one in maroon, one in light blue, and one in goose yellow.
When Bai Jinjin saw the goose yellow color, she thought of goose eggs, so she decisively gave up the goose yellow color and chose maroon. The maid left the maroon color and put the other two sets into Bai Jinjin's wardrobe.
When Bai Jinjin finished dressing up and came out from behind the screen, Bai Jing was dazzled.
The long skirt was a maroon color with pale golden peonies embroidered on the cuffs, a few auspicious clouds outlined with silver thread, and a row of blue sea and cloud patterns densely packed on the hem.
She had a heart-shaped face, a small and straight nose, willow-like curved eyebrows, thin lips, and thick black hair that fell softly outside the bucket. Her face had a comfortable expression, and at the corner of her mouth there was a bright smile that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.
Bai Jinjin looked at herself in the bronze mirror excitedly, and couldn't believe that it was herself.
"Oh my god, brother, am I so beautiful?"
Seeing Bai Jinjin's love of beauty, the young man walked forward with a smile in his eyes and said, "Yes, yes, Jinjin is the most beautiful. Shouldn't we hurry up and go to the banquet?"
Only then did Bai Jinjin come out of her narcissistic mood, and hurriedly picked up her skirt and was about to run out.
"Then let's hurry up."
Seeing the girl about to run out in panic, Bai Jing quickly held her shoulders and said, "Don't run, don't run. The clothes you're wearing won't allow you to run away."
This reminded Bai Jinjin and she quickly slowed down her pace, but it was really too cramped and too slow!
As expected, Bai Jinjin was a lady for only three seconds. She looked at Bai Jing as if asking for help. Finally, Bai Jing compromised, put his arms around Bai Jinjin's waist, and used light skills to reach the door of the banquet.
After putting Bai Jinjin down, he tidied her clothes and hairdress, and only after everything was tidy did he take Bai Jinjin into the banquet.
Bai Juncheng sat on the dragon throne, waiting for Bai Jinjin to come but she still hadn't shown up. He was getting anxious. Concubine Ye made an exception and sat next to him. She said, "Don't worry. Jinjin needs to dress up. It always takes time for a girl to dress up. Why are you in such a hurry?"
This made the man on the dragon throne quiet down. He looked at Concubine Ye with joy and whispered, "Jinjin hasn't dressed up for a long time. I'm looking forward to seeing her."
Concubine Ye glanced at him coquettishly and said, "Just wait. I haven't seen Jinjin dressed up in a long time, and I'm looking forward to it just as much as you are."
Just as the two were talking, Bai Jing appeared from the door with Bai Jinjin.
"The Ninth Princess has arrived!"
When the people at the banquet heard that Bai Jinjin had arrived, they all looked at her curiously. Perhaps they were used to being stared at in front of the refugees, so they were not overly nervous now.
"This is the Ninth Princess."
"Wow, Princess Nine is so beautiful."
"Tsk, what's so beautiful about her? How is she beautiful? She's not even as good as me."
A man said, "You? You're not even as good as a hair of the Ninth Princess."
"Hey? Who are you looking down on?"
"What's there to compare with? This Ninth Princess is the apple of the Emperor's eye. Are you tired of living if you want to compare yourself to her?"
The woman stopped talking indignantly after hearing this. It was true that the Ninth Princess was the apple of the Emperor's eye, and she could never compare to her.
Of course, Bai Lingling heard everyone praising Bai Jinjin. She clenched her fists. "Bai Jinjin! Everyone's talking about Bai Jinjin! No one's paying attention to me, the Sixth Princess! I won't accept this!"
Then he folded his hands and placed them on his belt, with a suitable smile on his face, and said casually: "Ninth sister is so beautiful today."
This statement really caught everyone's attention. Many men turned around to look at Bai Lingling. Seeing that Bai Lingling's clothes looked decent and generous, they all developed a liking for such a gentle girl. However, it also aroused the jealousy of many women.
"Who is this? Why are you standing here? How rude!"
Bai Lingling didn't get annoyed when she heard this, and replied with a smile, "You've misunderstood. I've always been here, but you just didn't notice me."
This gentle voice made many people feel more favorable towards her, and some even stepped forward to help Bai Lingling.
"Yeah, maybe I didn't realize it. You're also a woman, so why are you so aggressive?"
This sentence triggered the sense of justice of the people around her and they blamed the woman. The woman was also raised in the palm of her parents' hands and had never suffered such grievances. She ran out with red eyes.
"Humph, only country bumpkins like you would like such a hypocritical woman."
