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

In the palace, Princess Fengyang changed her usual dignified demeanor and walked forward quickly. Her personal maid Qingyan followed closely and kept advising her: "Princess, you'd better go back first and think of other ways. If you go there directly, what if you make the emperor unhappy..."

"Don't say anymore, I know what to do!" Princess Fengyang said coldly.

Just now, Princess Fengyang received the news that the Kingdom of Yue had sent a letter today and would send an envoy in three months to discuss the marriage.

Princess Fengyang knew that after receiving the letter, the emperor would immediately discuss the selection of a relative with his ministers, and she was undoubtedly the most suitable candidate in her father's mind.

She couldn't wait any longer. Once she was confirmed and written into the list, there would be no possibility of changing it. Princess Fengyang was anxious and hurried towards the palace where her father was.

Inside the Yanghe Palace, Emperor Qingyuan was reviewing memorials when the chief eunuch bowed and walked in: "Your Majesty, Princess Fengyang is outside requesting an audience."

Emperor Qingyuan looked at the memorial in his hand and said casually, "Let her in."

Princess Fengyang came in, knelt down and said, "Your son pays homage to the emperor, father."

Putting down the memorial in his hand, Emperor Qingyuan looked at Princess Fengyang and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, I heard that Daqing is going to send a princess to the Kingdom of Yue to marry a princess. Is this true?" Princess Fengyang raised her head and asked.

Emperor Qingyuan looked at Princess Fengyang, nodded and said, "It is true."

"Is Your Majesty willing to have me go with you to marry into the royal family?" Princess Fengyang asked anxiously.

"That's right," Emperor Qingyuan nodded again.

Princess Fengyang bit her lip and said, "Father, please don't send me to the Kingdom of Yue to marry."

"Fengyang!" Emperor Qingyuan said with some displeasure, "As my daughter, you should prioritize state affairs! You know, you and Jing'an are the only two princesses waiting to be married in the palace. Jing'an's condition makes her unable to marry. Right now, you are the only one in the palace who can take on this important task."

Slowing down his tone slightly, Emperor Qingyuan continued, "What's more, the person you want to marry into the Kingdom of Yue this time is the Crown Prince. After you marry him, you will be the Crown Princess and the future Queen of Yue. What else can you be dissatisfied with?"

"Your Majesty, I don't want to leave the capital and become a crown princess." Princess Fengyang looked at Emperor Qingyuan's slightly unhappy face and said desperately.

"Nonsense!" Emperor Qingyuan slammed the table, stood up, and scolded: "The marriage between the two countries is a military and national affair. How can you, a girl, do whatever you want?"

"As my daughter, you should help me solve my problems," Emperor Qingyuan said angrily. "Besides, your father is not asking you to jump into the fire pit. Marrying the Crown Prince of Yue is the future Queen. She will be the mother of the country and enjoy endless wealth and glory. You should be thanking me now!"

Princess Fengyang gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I and Lord Wei, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, have long been in love with each other. Please, Your Majesty, grant us both our blessing!"

"Huh?" Emperor Qingyuan was stunned. "Why have I never heard of this?"

Staring intently at Princess Fengyang, Emperor Qingyuan asked, "You said that Lord Wei and you have long been in love. Lord Wei is already quite old. Why have you never mentioned this to me in all these years?"

"Your Majesty, you also know that Lord Wei suffers from a headache. Perhaps he's afraid of burdening me." Princess Fengyang was afraid that Emperor Qingyuan wouldn't believe her, so she continued, "Your Majesty, if you still don't believe me, you can ask people outside the palace. It's common knowledge that Lord Wei likes me!"

After hearing what Princess Fengyang said, Emperor Qingyuan really hesitated for a moment.

"You go down first. Let me think about the marriage again," Emperor Qingyuan said to Princess Fengyang.

"Yes, I'll take my leave." Princess Fengyang stood up and turned around, her eyes dark, and she walked out quickly.

In front of the Jinyiwei office, Wei Qing dismounted, handed the reins to the Jinyiwei beside him, and walked into his own yard.

He first looked in Jindou's room and found no sound at all. Had he not returned yet? Frowning, Wei Qing entered his room, sat at the table, poured a cup of tea, and drank it.

Wei Qing had been living in the Northern Pacification Office since the last full-moon night. He had only seen the golden beans once in Pei's mansion on the day Pei Shaofeng's eyes recovered. In the blink of an eye, another five or six days had passed.

As the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Wei Qing has always been able to plan and act calmly.

But in recent days, Wei Qing felt that he was in a state of confusion and restlessness all day long.

Standing up, Wei Qing paced back and forth in the room restlessly for a few steps. Finally, he couldn't help it, opened the door and walked out.

When Wei Qing arrived at Pei Mansion on horseback, it was already dark. After being welcomed into the mansion by the servants, he had just walked to the front of Pei Shaofeng's house when he heard Jindou's laughter.

"Hahaha... I won, I won again." In the room, Jindou looked at the remaining cards in Pei Shaofeng's hand and couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha... Pei Jiang Xiaojun, you actually... you actually held the king in your hand."

When Wei Qing stepped into the room, this was the scene he saw: Jindou was sitting on a chair in front of the bed, his face clean. Pei Shaofeng, who was sitting on the bed, looked much worse, with seven or eight pieces of paper stuck on his face.

At this time, Jindou was holding a piece of paper in his hand. He dipped it in his saliva and put it to his mouth, then stuck it on Pei Shaofeng's forehead with a "pa".

This scene was seen by Wei Qing who walked into the house. He felt that Jindou's behavior towards Pei Shaofeng was too intimate.

Without a second thought, Wei Qing strode over and shouted, "Jindou, don't be rude to General Pei!"

At this moment, Jindou and Pei Shaofeng realized that Wei Qing had arrived. Jindou hurriedly called out, "Sir!"

Pei Shaofeng also waved his hand and said: "No problem, no problem, this general is willing to accept the loss of the bet."

Jindou shuffled his homemade playing cards and looked up at Wei Qing, saying, "Sir, come play with us."

Wei Qing looked at the thing in Jindou's hand and felt that he had never seen it before. He shook his head and said to Pei Shaofeng, "Shaofeng, it's getting late. I will take Jindou back first. You should go to bed early too."

Pei Shaofeng felt that time passed very quickly these days with Jindou's company, especially the poker game that Jindou taught him, which made him addicted and unable to extricate himself.

When Wei Qing said he was leaving, he felt very reluctant to let him go. However, he also knew it was getting late, so he had no choice but to tell Jindou, "Jindou, come early tomorrow."

Jindou nodded and patted Pei Shaofeng on the shoulder: "General Pei, don't lose so miserably tomorrow!"

"How could that be? This general will kill you without leaving a single piece of armor behind tomorrow," Pei Shaofeng said proudly.

How long has it been since they started dating? They've already become so familiar with each other. Wei Qing watched them talking, feeling a mixture of emotions.

Jin Dou was about to enter the Jinyiwei office when he heard Wei Qing say behind him, "Remember to come back early next time so as not to disturb General Pei's rest."

Huh? Jindou was startled and turned around, only to see Wei Qing had already turned and gone into his room.

Thinking about myself these past few days, I came back late, but it’s not my fault. Every time I wanted to leave, General Pei always tried to keep me, and it would be disrespectful for me to refuse, Jindou muttered to himself.

At this time in Pei Mansion, Pei Shaofeng had been lying in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep after Wei Qing and Jindou left.

During the day, Jindou's every smile and frown always flashed in his mind. When the two were close to each other, the faint fragrance he smelled between his nose seemed to still linger around him, unable to be shaken off.

Oh, what happened to me? Pei Shaofeng pounded the bed hard with his hand in annoyance.
