"Got it, Miss!" Jinkui walked around curiously. The royal garden was not small, and there were many precious things, but not as many as those in the palace. She forgot the time while playing, and even Baili Yao felt a little hungry. Fortunately, there were servants serving everywhere, and Baili Yao planned to find a pavilion to eat something and drink some tea.

"Aiya!" A voice sounded from not far away, "Where did you come from, you wild girl? You are so impetuous that you broke the imperial meal that the Third Prince was going to use. How many heads do you have to pay for it?"

"Yes... I'm sorry, I didn't mean it..." Jinkui's trembling voice sounded. Baili Yao immediately got up and went over. She saw that the food box in front of a maid was overturned and the food was scattered all over the floor.

The maid pulled Jinkui, as if she wanted her to give an explanation.

"I'm really sorry, sister. I was the one who brought her here. My name is Bai Yao. I'm really sorry for causing trouble." Baili Yao said apologetically. Jinkui was so scared that she was crying. She looked at Baili Yao worriedly, thinking that she had caused trouble for the young lady again. She shouldn't have come out. Now, she was causing trouble again.

When the little maid saw Bai Yao wearing a veil, she was stunned for a moment. She also had an aggrieved face. Bai Yao could not be offended. He was the king's distinguished guest and had made great contributions. "So you are Mr. Bai's maid. Mr. Bai is not a big deal, but... this is for the Third Prince... The fish inside was specially replenished and cooked for a day. Now... there is no way to make it again." She knelt on the ground and said, "Mr. Bai, please come with me to explain to the Third Prince. You are the king's distinguished guest, and the Third Prince will not say anything. But it's different for me. If I spoil the Third Prince's food, I will die."

"Miss..." Jinkui pulled her sleeve, and it was obvious on her face that she wanted Baili Yao to take care of it.

Sometimes Baili Yao really wanted to be selfish and ignore these outsiders...but Jinkui still held her back, as if she felt guilty for having caused trouble and didn't want the maid in the palace to take the blame.

"Okay, please lead the way, sister." Baili Yao had to say this softly, and the maidservant nodded quickly, as if she was saved, and led the way.

Baili Yao's heart was beating fast. Xuanyuan Zhe was not a reasonable man. She still remembered his unreasonable behavior at the Crown Princess' banquet last time.

After walking for a while, they heard the sound of a piano coming from the front. Baili Yao sighed in her heart that her father was so sick, not only did he not go to his bedside to take care of him, but he even had the leisure time to enjoy himself in the palace.

Sure enough, when I got closer, Xuanyuan Zhe was drinking wine in the pavilion. It was already dark, and he looked at the moon gradually appearing in the sky, looking very elegant.

"The third... the third prince..." The little maid was kneeling on the ground. Xuanyuan Zhe turned around and saw the maid kneeling on the ground and Baili Yao following behind her, and he couldn't help but frown.

"What's wrong? Didn't I ask you to prepare dinner? Why is Mr. Bai here?" He said disdainfully, took a sip of wine from the glass in his hand and turned away.

The little maid knelt on the ground and trembled, saying intermittently, "Dinner...dinner...was..."

"Third Prince, I'm really sorry. It's my fault that I didn't discipline my maid well and knocked over the Third Prince's dinner." Baili Yao had no choice but to kneel down. Jinkui was so scared that she also knelt on the ground. She could only keep the lowest posture and try to avoid attracting Xuanyuan Zhe's attention as much as possible.

Xuanyuanzhe turned around again, "Hmph, all the servants go down, including you." He pointed at Jinkui. Jinkui pulled Baili Yao, and Baili Yao held her hand to indicate that she should not worry.

The music of the piano stopped and everyone stepped back. Baili Yao was still kneeling on the ground. Xuanyuan Zhe did not ask her to get up. Instead, he stood up and walked over. He smelled of alcohol, but did not look drunk. He lowered his eyes and looked down at Baili Yao, "I heard that you have made some achievements in my fiefdom, but I didn't expect that you were also someone who wanted to climb up the social ladder. How did you please my mother so much that she wanted me to marry you? Today your maid even knocked over my food. How come? I rejected you in person last time, but this time you come to attract my attention?" He snorted coldly, his eyes full of disgust.

Baili Yao cursed in her heart, how could this bastard feel so good about himself! He didn't even let her get up and attracted his attention. How shameless.

Baili Yao tried to control herself, "Third Prince, you misunderstood. I only met the Empress on the day I entered the palace, and I don't want to climb up the social ladder. I'm used to being idle in Yuncheng, and I like to travel around. Although the Mountain Prince looks as handsome as a god in the sky, I would never dare to covet him. Please rest assured, Third Prince."

"You..." Xuanyuanzhe paused, "What did you say?"

Baili Yao thought about what she said. Did she say anything wrong? No, she said she would not have any desire for him, and she also praised him.

Before Baili Yao could speak, Xuanyuan Zhe suddenly laughed and said, "Get up. I originally thought your voice sounded very much like someone else's and was disgusted. I didn't expect you to be such a discerning person. It seems that I misunderstood you. It's time to have some food together. Someone, tell the kitchen to prepare some food quickly. I want to have dinner with Mr. Bai."

Baili Yao was not given any chance to refuse. People in the royal family are all so selfish!
