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

Yue State, in the imperial study.

Jing Yu held the memorial in his hand, but at this moment he couldn't read a single word.

"Knock knock knock..." There was a knock on the door outside. Jing Yu quickly put down the memorial in his hand and said, "Come in."

A secret guard walked in, bowed and clasped his fists, and said, "Your Highness, the convoy has arrived at the Beijing Inn."

This time when they went to pick up the golden beans, in order to avoid being discovered, the group dressed in casual clothes and stayed in inns along the way, and did not stay at any government post station.

Hearing that the convoy had arrived at the Beijing Inn, Jing Yu hurriedly ordered, "Have them change into guard uniforms and enter the palace immediately!"

"Yes," Yin Wei clasped his fists and accepted the order. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Jing Yu hurriedly stopped him and ordered, "After entering the palace, bring Miss Jindou directly to me."

"Yes," the secret guard agreed without hesitation, but thought to himself: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is really special to Miss Jindou. This is the imperial study, where the emperor reviews memorials. Even the empress has never come in here.

Jing Yu, seeing the secret guards retreat, no longer had the heart to review the memorials. When he thought about meeting Jindou soon, his heart began to beat wildly. He simply stood up from the dragon chair and paced back and forth in the room, waiting anxiously.

At this time, in the bedroom of the Crown Prince and his wife, Princess Jing'an knew that the golden beans would arrive in Yue State today. She was also filled with joy and had been waiting in the palace.

About an hour later, Princess Jing'an heard Yingxiang knocking on the door and calling out, "Crown Princess, I'm back."

"Come in quickly," Princess Jing'an said hurriedly.

When Yingxiang opened the door and entered the room, Princess Jing'an quickly looked behind her, but she didn't see Jindou. She couldn't help but ask, "Yingxiang, why can't I see Jindou?"

"Princess, the golden beans were taken directly to the Crown Prince by the guards," Yingxiang replied.

"That's it," Princess Jing'an murmured, the joy on her face slowly faded away, she held Xiaobai in her arms and sat down on the chair silently.

In the imperial study, Jing Yu was waiting anxiously when he heard a knock on the door. Jing Yu hurriedly said, "Come in!"

After the door opened, a man dressed as a guard walked in and called out cheerfully, "Your Highness!"

Looking at the living Jindou standing in front of him, Jing Yu felt his heart pounding as if it was about to jump out of his chest. He took a few quick steps and came to Jindou. With a slightly trembling voice, he asked, "Jindou, are you okay?"

"Okay, I'm fine," Jindou answered while looking around. Seeing that Princess Jing'an was not in the room, she asked in some confusion, "Your Highness, where is the Crown Princess?" Originally, when the guards led her here, she thought Princess Jing'an was here too.

Seeing Jindou coming, he began to look for the Crown Princess. Jing Yu felt a little lost for a moment, forced a smile and said, "The Crown Princess is in the East Palace now."

"Oh," Jindou nodded, then with a smile on his face, he bowed and said, "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on his wedding. I am here to congratulate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Jing Yu felt that Jindou's congratulations were like a basin of cold water, which instantly cooled his eagerness to see Jindou.

Looking at the smiling face in front of him that he had been thinking about day and night, and listening to her congratulations, Jing Yu felt a mixture of emotions in his heart.

Jing Yu smiled but did not respond to Jin Dou's congratulations. He just said, "You've worked hard all the way. Come sit down and take a rest."

Jindou didn't sit down, but waved his hands anxiously and said, "Your Highness, I'm not tired. I want to go see the Crown Princess as soon as possible."

"Okay," Jing Yu agreed, trying hard to hide the disappointment in his eyes.

In the Eastern Palace, in the bedroom of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, when Princess Jing'an saw Jindou running towards her with a bright smile on his face, she felt that all her previous guesses and thoughts about Jindou had suddenly disappeared.

"Princess... no no no, you have to call me Crown Princess now." Jindou released their hands from the embrace and looked up and down at Princess Jing'an.

"Oh, she's still so beautiful. But how come she's become the Crown Princess and has lost so much weight?" Jindou asked Princess Jing'an with concern, "Why? Did you come to Yue Kingdom and can't get used to the food here?"

"No, no," Princess Jing'an smiled and pulled Jindou to sit on the chair. She also looked at Jindou and said with a smile: "I see that you have gained a lot of weight."

"Yeah, I also feel that I have gained a lot of weight." Jindou lowered his head, looked at himself, and said, "No, I can't eat so many cakes when I go back."

"Oh, you don't know," Jindou frowned and continued, "Second brother knows that I love to eat cakes, so he specially instructed the chef of the Duke's Mansion to make different kinds of cakes for me every day. Moreover, when Second brother comes back, he often brings me cakes."

No, no, Jindou thought to himself, I must not eat so many pastries when I go back. I am short to begin with, and if I eat so much and gain weight, I will look ugly.

Princess Jing'an, seeing Jindou constantly calling her "Second Brother," had an idea in mind and asked with a smile, "Does Lord Wei agree with you coming out this time?"

"I agree, I agree. Don't worry, no matter what I do, my second brother will never kill me," Jindou said confidently.

"Kill him?" Princess Jing'an became confused again. Could it be that all her previous guesses were wrong?

"Yes." Jindou thought about how he had angered Wei Qing to death time and time again, and how he had escaped from Wei Qing's clutches time and time again. He felt that he finally understood one thing.

"I know now. No matter what I do, my second brother will not kill me." Jindou looked like he finally figured it out.

"Kill you?" Princess Jing'an felt that she was becoming more and more confused.

"Oh, you don't know, when my eldest brother and second brother and I became sworn brothers, the three of us agreed to die on the same day of the same month of the same year. So, now I understand that my second brother will never really kill me," Jindou said proudly.

"You..." Princess Jing'an was about to say something else when she was stopped by Jindou, "Okay, okay, stop talking about me and talk about you first."

"Well, am I right?" Jindou looked at Princess Jing'an with a smile: "Your Highness the Crown Prince's appearance is not inferior to my second brother, right?"

When Princess Jing'an heard Jindou's words, her face flushed. She just smiled shyly and said nothing.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak," Xiaobai, who had just been put on the bed by Princess Jing'an, screamed loudly at this time.

Oh, how could I have forgotten it? Jindou rushed to the bed and picked up Xiaobai with both hands. Xiaobai snuggled up to Jindou tightly in his arms, as if they were meeting an old friend again.
