The prince's son, Du Beichen, was a complete popinjay.

Once this matter was settled, it would basically be none of Ye Jinsu's business. She could be at ease with Little Red's conduct of business. Only the small matter outside the mansion made Ye Jinsu unable to calm down.

However, Ye Jinxiu was able to sit still.

He would sit in the pavilion and admire the plum blossoms and practice his swordsmanship. Just when Ye Jinsu was thinking whether it was the old lady who first came to find him to deliver the woman to Ye Zhenzi, or whether Ning Yunqi's side had sent him news, new news finally came from the outside.

Ye Jinsu was looking forward to it. No matter which one of them it was, they would have something to do.

But neither.

It was the eldest princess' youngest son's third birthday, so Ning Yunyin had invited him over.

The court had not been peaceful recently, and the Grand Princess didn't have a grand feast either. She only invited her bros and friends. There were only one or two ministers in the court who had a good relationship with each other, but the rest of the officials were not invited.

Ye Jinsu had become the only beast in the world.

Other people were all clansmen, so why would a vassal girl like her join in the fun?

Moreover, the Grand Princess didn't like him. Wasn't he the one who added fuel to the fire?

Ye Jinsu rubbed between her brows. Just by imagining it, one could tell how awkward the situation was.

"I'm not going. Reject the post."

Meng Lan smiled. She wasn't surprised by Ye Jinsu's reaction at all. She only thought to herself that Ning Wang really did understand her. He was even able to guess her reaction.

"But His Highness the Prince of Qi will also be attending this banquet. "Since Your Highness Ning Wang has said that other misses can choose to stay, we must definitely go to the banquet." Meng Lan blinked her eyes and told him exactly what Ning Yunyin had said.

Although she didn't understand what he meant, her expression changed when she saw that Ye Jinsu was deep in thought after hearing his words.

It worked.

Ye Jinsu was secretly wondering what Ning Yunxiao meant by this. Could he be hinting at something?

However, there was no news from Ning Yunqi's side either …

After thinking it over, Ye Jinsu still accepted the invitation and accepted the banquet.

The banquet of the three days later was about to begin. As expected, Ning Yunyun came back in the carriage to pick him up. With the experience from last time, Ye Jinsu had calmed down a lot. Once she got on the carriage, she kept her distance from Ning Yun.

She was already dressed up as a good woman today. Firstly, it was her child's birthday banquet, which was too seductive and bad for her. Secondly, she still remembered Ning Yunyin's words last time. She couldn't help but think, Ning Yunqi actually likes this sort of thing?

However, she didn't have the heart to think about this after getting on the car.

"Does the Grand Princess know about us?" Ye Jinxiu asked doubtfully. If the Grand Princess didn't know, wouldn't she hate him even more if she put on an act in front of her?

Ye Jinxiu was always very nervous about the Eldest Princess.

He'd never been this perturbed even when he saw the Emperor Ye Jinsu.

Ning Yunyin laughed inwardly, intentionally asking, "What are we doing?"

Ye Jinsu was stunned for a moment before her face flushed red. She couldn't help but feel slightly annoyed.

He spoke as if there really had been something between the two of them.

"Speak properly!" Ye Jinshu angrily warned.

The horse carriage had just begun to move and there was still a long way to go before they entered the palace. Ning Yunyin continued to speak calmly, "What exactly are we two doing?"

He looked serious, as if he didn't have any bad intentions.

However, if it had been another sentence, Ye Jinsu would have believed it even more.

"It's about our act!" Ye Jinxiu said snappily.

"I know, so you don't have to worry about it later." Ning Yunyin looked at the blushing red face of Ye Jinsu and spoke in a good mood.

Ye Jinsu rolled her eyes.

"Today, the protagonist is the young royal grandson. Even if you go, you don't have to worry too much." Ning Yunyin dispelled the worry in Ye Jinsu's heart.

Even if Ye Jinxiu went, she would at most only have a background.

However, Ning Yunyin was insistent on asking him to go, which obviously meant that she had other intentions.

"Could it be that the Qi King is causing trouble with this banquet?" Ye Jinxiu suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked Ning Yunyin.

She had heard Ning Yunyin talk about those barbarians before. Ning Yunqi had been investigating this matter for half a month and had only caught a few not-so-serious people. He hadn't been able to get rid of every single one of them.

And when the Prince of Qi captured that group of people, it was only when someone tried to enter the palace to investigate that he was caught.

This group of people had been in the capital for a long time, trying to sneak into the palace. There were many citizens in the capital, so he did not dare to cause too much of a commotion.

Therefore, Ning Yunqi had been unable to catch any key figures after pursuing the investigation for so long. She was currently in a terrible state of anxiety over this matter.

What Ye Jinsu had said to Ning Yunqi was to set up a trap to invite the Emperor into it.

Could it be that this guy was using his grandson's birthday banquet as an urn?

Ye Jinsu panicked, "Then what about my grandson?"

Was there any danger?

A three year old child who was happily preparing for his birthday, yet it was destroyed just like that?

What if it left a psychological shadow?

On the other hand, Ning Yunxiao remained calm and collected. "It's fine, we'll protect him." "This is a rare opportunity, I must ensure that no mistake happens ever again!"

These words were reasonable but cold-blooded. Ye Jinsu felt extremely uncomfortable listening to them.

"What about the Grand Princess? Does she know about this?" Ye Jinsu opened her mouth again and tried to start with something else.

"Got it."

Ye Jinxiu choked, unable to speak.

The Grand Princess didn't mind using her son's birthday as bait. She was worrying about nothing. Curling his lips, Ye Jinsu dejectedly asked, "Then what do you plan to do?"

Ning Yunyin looked at Ye Jinxiu and suddenly felt unhappy. She didn't know what she had said wrong. Initially, he wanted to tease her a little, but he could only rub his nose and say, "The Qi King has deployed quite a few elite soldiers outside."

"But there are barbarians among those sharp soldiers." Ning Yunyin spoke slowly, as if she was talking about something trivial.

This way, things would get out of hand.

Ye Jinsu pursed her lips and thought for a moment, "What if we can't control the situation?"

"There are imperial guards in the palace, and the Grand Princess is protected by secret guards. General Qi is present at the banquet as well." The scene would only blow up, and he could still clean up the mess.

However, he couldn't do it himself.

Therefore, he and Ye Jinsu had come to watch the show.

Ye Jinsu nodded helplessly. Suddenly, she felt that the atmosphere had changed. Didn't he say that he would help Ning Yunyin? Why didn't I seem to do anything? The most important thing was that Ning Yunyin did it.

Furthermore, he had so much more information than her …

Ye Jinxiu hesitated for a moment before she suddenly thought of something. She raised her head to look at Ning Yunxiao and asked, "Why haven't I heard anything from the Qi King's side in the past few days?"

Had he been stopped?

Ning Yunyin smiled as she looked at Ye Jinsu's slightly gnashing teeth expression. He had only wanted Ye Jinsu to do this, so he would have a better solution to the problems in the future.

"You can leave now."
