After traveling through time, the adults were completely in my hands

In the Kingdom of Yue, in the Queen's bedroom.

The Queen Mother looked at Jing Yu and Princess Jing'an who walked out and couldn't help but sigh softly.

Upon hearing this, Nanny Li, who was serving beside her, hurriedly whispered to her, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. The Crown Prince is in his prime, and the Crown Princess is so beautiful. I believe it won't be long before good news comes from the Eastern Palace."

"Alas, I know my son best," the Empress shook her head and said, "If he has someone else in his heart, I'm afraid he would turn a blind eye even if a fairy appeared."

"Your Majesty, do you mean that the prince has someone else in his heart?" asked Nanny Li in surprise.

"I'm afraid it's too late," the Empress said sadly, "Alas, it's also my fault. I've been with Jindou for so long, but I didn't realize she was a girl."

"Jindou is a girl?" Nanny Li was surprised at this moment.

"Well, I just found out about this too. The Crown Prince told me this after hearing it from the Crown Princess. I never even noticed it when I was with Jindou before," the Queen said with some self-blame.

"Your Majesty, you were too weak at that time and didn't notice it. That was inevitable. Not only you, but even I, an old servant, didn't notice it at all," Nanny Li comforted.

After thinking for a while, Nanny Li asked worriedly, "Then... Madam, what if the prince really likes Miss Jindou?"

"Alas, this is what worries me the most," the Empress said with a worried look on her face. "According to the news from the Eastern Palace, the Crown Prince hasn't rested in his bedroom for several days."

"How could this happen?" Nanny Li was also surprised and said, "Your Majesty, it's only been a few days since the wedding, and the Crown Prince has already left the Crown Princess alone in her empty room. I'm afraid this will embarrass her."

"Who says it's not? But I have no other options right now." The Empress sighed again, "Alas, if things continue like this, I don't know when I'll be able to hold my little grandson."

In the imperial study, Jing Yu had just sat down when a guard knocked on the door and walked in, bowing and clasping his fists, saying: "Your Highness."

Jing Yu nodded and instructed, "Lord Zhao, the commander of the Imperial Guards, is on duty in the palace tonight. You should sneak into his mansion tonight and investigate to see if there is anything suspicious."

"Yes, Your Highness," the secret guard took the order and retreated.

Sitting on the dragon throne, Jing Yu looked at the pile of memorials that had not been approved on the dragon table. He rubbed his forehead tiredly and closed his eyes to rest for a while. Jing Yu was about to take the memorials to read when he heard another knock on the door.

Jing Yu casually said, "Come in." After seeing the secret guards coming in from outside, he hurriedly asked, "How are they? Have they set off yet?"

"Your Highness, news has come from the capital of Daqing that a group of people have set off early this morning," the secret guard bowed.

"Okay." Jing Yu felt his mood improve instantly, and he quickly ordered: "Convey my order to them, and make sure to ensure Miss Jindou's safety. If Miss Jindou gets into trouble in the slightest, let them bring their heads to me!"

"Yes, Your Highness," the secret guard agreed with a fist salute, turned around and left.

Watching the secret guard leave the room, Jing Yu couldn't help but pick up the book on the table again.

Jing Yu had been reviewing memorials in the imperial study these days, so he brought this book to the room. When he opened the pages, golden sunflower petals immediately caught his eye.

Jing Yu seemed to see Jindou’s bright smile again, and said to himself: Your Highness, sunflowers represent light, love and pursuit!

"Love... and pursuit" Jing Yu murmured and closed the book. For a moment, he felt that the previous tiredness had been swept away. He carefully put the book aside, Jing Yu took a memorial and began to review it attentively.

In the Eastern Palace, the bedroom of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess.

After Princess Jing'an asked the palace maids and maids to leave, she sat alone on a chair in the room.

Looking at the bright red wedding quilt on the bed and then at the various festive decorations in the room, a sense of uneasiness gradually welled up in Princess Jing'an's heart.

After their wedding, the prince only slept with me in bed for a few days before leaving me alone in the empty room. Was it because I did something wrong, or was it because the prince had someone else in his heart?

Princess Jing'an sat in a chair and pondered, thinking about the time since she told the prince that Jindou was a girl, the prince's face changed color and he said he had something to do and went to the study. Since then, he never set foot in the bedroom again.

Could it be...? Princess Jing'an was shocked. However, when she was with Jindou, although Jindou praised the prince highly, she didn't feel that Jindou had any romantic feelings for him.

But what if the prince likes Jindou? Jindou is her benefactor and the only friend in the world with whom she can confide her true feelings. She cannot lose her.

Princess Jing'an sat on the chair, her mind in a mess. She shook her head and thought to herself that Yingxiang had been gone for several days, and Jindou and the others should be on their way back.

In the carriage heading to Yue State, Jindou asked Yingxiang with a smile, "How are the Crown Prince and Crown Princess doing now? Are they inseparable every day?"

"How could that be?" Yingxiang frowned and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hasn't gone to his bedroom to rest for several days."

"No way, the Crown Princess is so beautiful, how could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bear to let her go?" Jindou said with a smile.

"Oh, I don't know what's going on. Maybe it's because the emperor is seriously ill and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in a bad mood," Yingxiang said.

"Yes, that must be the case." Jindou nodded and said, "Think about it, all the affairs of the court are now weighed down on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Now that the Emperor is seriously ill, the court will be in chaos. I'm afraid His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already busy and overwhelmed, so it's understandable that he can't take care of the Crown Princess at this time."

"Well, that's true," Yingxiang nodded. However, she remembered Princess Jing'an's appearance and couldn't help but say, "But the Crown Princess looks very unhappy."

"Don't worry, I will go this time and will definitely make the Crown Princess happy," Jindou said, patting his chest.

"Jindou, now that you're in Yue, please don't go back to Daqing, okay?" Yingxiang looked at Jindou and pleaded, "The Crown Princess and I are so lonely in the palace. It would definitely be much more lively if you were here."

"This..." Jindou hesitated for a moment, his grandmother, his second brother, and several people from the Dingguo Mansion flashing before his eyes. After thinking for a while, he said, "No, if I stay in Yue State, my grandmother will definitely not agree."

Seeing Yingxiang's disappointed look, Jindou quickly said, "Don't worry, I will visit you in Yue Kingdom often in the future."
