Bai Jinjin rubbed her face a little embarrassedly and hugged the empress dowager's arm like a spoiled child.
"Grandma, please stop praising me. Jinjin is already feeling a little embarrassed."
The Queen Mother chuckled upon seeing this, with a lovely smile on her face.
"Jinjin knows she's a grown-up girl now that she's embarrassed."
After saying that, he looked at Bai Jinjin hesitantly.
"Jinjin, do you still remember that you promised Grandma Huang to keep an eye on you three and not let him get close to Bai Lingling?"
How to say it, Bai Jinjin had forgotten it completely. She had been busy recently and had completely forgotten about this matter. She could only cough lightly to cover it up, and smiled at the empress dowager with a guilty look on her face.
The Queen Mother could tell at a glance that Bai Jinjin might have forgotten about this matter, and shook her head helplessly.
Bai Jinjin felt that she could defend herself.
"Grandma, you saw it today. Third Brother didn't even give me a chance to persuade him. Even if I did, he would just think Jinjin was trying to sow discord."
How could the Queen Mother not see that Yan'er was really stubborn and that her request was unreasonable? She sighed deeply.
"Forget it. After all, this matter is too much for the Empress Dowager to force."
Seeing that the Queen Mother understood, Bai Jinjin said that she suddenly felt relaxed and as if she could ascend to heaven.
"I hope you understand, Grandma."
The woman stood up, her elegant and luxurious clothes making her look even more majestic. Since this matter could not be resolved, it could only be left unresolved.
"Okay Jinjin, the Empress Dowager is going back. It's an exception for her not to go to bed tonight."
The girl took two steps back and bowed.
"Farewell, Grandma."
The Queen Mother nodded and walked out of the banquet hall.
Bai Lingling had been looking for Mo Yunqiu since a while ago. Now that most people had left, she finally found Mo Yunqiu.
With a smile familiar to Mo Yunqiu on her face, she walked up to Mo Yunqiu and said, "Mr. Mo? So you're here?"
Mo Yunqiu, who was already preparing to go back, turned around and looked at Bai Lingling with some joy when he heard his goddess calling him.
"Your Highness, is there anything you need from me?"
Although he was very excited, Mo Yunqiu tried his best to look normal.
The girl in light blue clothes covered her face and smiled gently.
"It's nothing. I just saw that Master Mo looked in good spirits today. I guess he must have recovered well."
The goddess cares about him! This realization made Mo Yunqiu very happy. Ever since Bai Lingling secretly came to see him that day, Mo Yunqiu never saw Bai Lingling again. He thought that his fate with the goddess ended there.
I had hoped to have a few words with Bai Lingling at today's banquet, but I didn't expect that there were so many people around her, and I had no way to get in. I felt a little disappointed.
"Yes, I'm feeling much better now. I have to thank the Sixth Princess for saving me."
Bai Lingling accepted the favor without a trace of guilt, lowered her eyebrows slightly and said softly, "This is just what Lingling should do. Mr. Mo, please don't take it so seriously."
Then he sighed softly and looked at Mo Yunqiu apologetically as if he was being rude.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Mo, I'm being rude."
Even beauties have worries, and this person is his favorite goddess. Mo Yunqiu would naturally be concerned. He said worriedly, "I wonder if the princess has any worries. If you think I can trust you, you can tell me."
The girl looked at Mo Yunqiu as if in embarrassment, pursed her lips, and said hesitantly, "Actually, I'm a little worried about Ninth Sister's behavior at the banquet, and I also feel a little sorry for the Grand Tutor."
When Mo Yunqiu heard that this matter was actually caused by the Ninth Princess, his dislike for Bai Jinjin turned into disgust. It's not that he hadn't seen the poems Bai Jinjin wrote, but what could he do? He shouldn't have made the old tutor faint.
"Princess, why worry? I will tell the Ninth Princess about this matter."
Bai Lingling looked at Mo Yunqiu with a wide smile, and said gratefully, "In that case, Master Mo has been a great help. Ninth Sister never listens to me, otherwise I should have been the one to do this."
The Third Prince and the others had had enough of the praises of Bai Jinjin from the people around them at the banquet. When the three were thinking about how to comfort Bai Lingling, they saw Mo Yunqiu step forward and block Bai Jinjin's way.
Bai Jinjin was so sleepy that she was seeing stars. There was someone blocking her way. She frowned and wanted to push the person away, but she couldn't move him away at all.
Suddenly, half of the sleepiness disappeared. What was looking at her? When she saw it was Mo Yunqiu, Bai Jinjin was a little confused. The general had already left, so why did Mo Yunqiu stay?
"May I ask why Master Mo stopped me here?"
"I heard that the Ninth Princess made the old tutor faint from anger?"
One sentence made Bai Jinjin understand that this guy was here to cause trouble, especially when Bai Jinjin saw Bai Lingling behind her, she was even more certain.
"I don't know why Mr. Mo asked this?"
Mo Yunqiu snorted coldly and said, "This old tutor is the teacher of the current emperor. Is it right for you to make him faint in anger today?"
Bai Jinjin stared at Mo Yunqiu in shock. Is he sick? What is he talking about?
"But what does this have to do with Master Mo?"
Mo Yunqiu was suddenly stunned by the question. It was indeed inappropriate for him to suddenly step forward and question Bai Jinjin.
"If we don't care about his business, then we can at least take care of it, right?"
The Second Prince walked up to Bai Lingling and said, "Since you said that the Grand Tutor shouldn't speak harshly to Father and Concubine Ye, then can you use that harsh tone to criticize the Grand Tutor?"
Bai Jinjin is really sad. What kind of monsters are these?
"This attitude is also biased against my mother's family. Are you blind?"
It would be a miracle if he could still keep his composure. Anyway, most people in the banquet had already left, so he didn't have to consider the royal family's reputation.
The Fourth Prince stepped forward and said coldly, "Is this the tone you use to treat your brother?"
Bai Jinjin fought back without showing any weakness: "So your tone is the same as how you would talk to your sister?"
The atmosphere seemed a bit tense, but the girl in the maroon dress was not afraid of the five people opposite her at all.
"It's been so long, is your attitude towards me what a brother should be like?"
Seeing that no one spoke, Bai Lingling said with tears in her eyes and a trembling voice: "Jinjin, you have big brother to help you now, what else are you dissatisfied with?"
The Third Prince said angrily upon hearing this: "I don't know what methods you used to make Big Brother stand on your side and even make him defend you."
When the girl heard this, she looked at Bai Lingling with a look of anticipation, and said sarcastically, "Sister Ling, I think you know best why Big Brother is drifting further and further away from you, right?"
