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

In front of the Duke Dingguo's mansion, Wei Qing dismounted and took the golden bean. The two of them took two steps into the mansion, and Wei Qing stopped again.

"Why don't you leave, second brother?" Jindou was a little puzzled.

Wei Qing looked down at the big bump on Jindou's forehead and couldn't help but sigh. His mother had thought that he and Jindou had had a fight, so she had left her outside. Now that Jindou came back with another big bump, he didn't know what his mother would think.

"Jindou, follow me and go back to your yard after entering the mansion," Wei Qing thought for a while and said to Jindou.

Huh? Jindou was startled, then looked up to see Wei Qing staring at the bump on his head, and immediately realized what was happening.

Although he applied medicine on the road, Jindou's skin was too tender and he hit the ground quite hard, so the big bump on his head didn't shrink much and it was still quite shocking.

At this time, Jindou understood what Wei Qing said and quickly hid behind Wei Qing. At the same time, he raised his arms and covered his forehead with his sleeves.

The two of them were ready to go in when they heard two calls of "Auntie Jindou". Wei Yizhao and Wei Yizhong ran over quickly, followed by Yang, who kept saying, "Slow down, slow down."

"Aunt Jindou, I miss you so much," Wei Yizhong said, stretching out his arm. Wei Yizhao also grabbed Jindou's clothes with one of his little hands.

"Aunt misses you too," Jindou said, forgetting the big bump on her head. She stretched out her hands and picked up Wei Yizhong.

"Hey, why is there a big bump here, aunt? Did someone hit you?" As soon as Wei Yizhong was picked up, he immediately saw the big bump on Jindou's head and asked in surprise.

When Yang heard her son's words, she also looked at Jindou's face and was immediately shocked: "Jindou, what are you doing..."

Wei Qing took a look and thought, well, he probably can't wash himself clean even if he jumps into the Yellow River.

At night, Wei Qing was in his study, reading over the past few days' official documents, when he heard his mother's voice outside the door: "Qing'er, what did you do to Jindou's face?"

There was really no way to avoid it. In the room, Wei Qing pinched his forehead with his hand in pain.

A few days after returning to the capital, Jindou was invited to the palace by Princess Jing'an again.

As soon as they arrived at Princess Jing'an's Yuxiu Palace, the two of them exchanged greetings, and Princess Jing'an waved her hand and asked everyone else in the palace to leave.

"Jindou, look." Princess Jing'an gently took off the veil covering her face.

"Ah...Princess, your face healed so quickly!" Jindou exclaimed in surprise.

The red birthmark that originally covered half of Princess Jing'an's face was now noticeably smaller and lighter in color, and it barely affected her appearance anymore.

Jindou circled around Princess Jing'an, "tsk tsk," he said, "Oh, look at her figure, and then look at her looks, she's truly the most beautiful woman in Daqing, hard to find!"

The most beautiful woman? Princess Jing'an was stunned for a moment. She thought of Princess Fengyang in the palace. She had always been recognized as the most beautiful woman in Daqing.

Although the two were born in the same year, both in the imperial palace and both were princesses, their lives have been very different over the past decade or so.

Princess Fengyang was high and mighty all day long. At various palace banquets held in the palace, Princess Fengyang's beauty was always sought after by everyone, while she herself could only wear a veil over her face all day long, trapped in her own palace and being laughed at by others.

Princess Jing'an could never forget the contemptuous look on Princess Fengyang's face when they met in the palace one time.

Thinking of this, Princess Jing'an felt a little depressed. She smiled slightly and said, "Jindou, you haven't seen Princess Fengyang yet, right? She is the most beautiful woman in Daqing."

"Yes, I've also heard people say that Princess Fengyang's beauty is comparable to that of fairies in heaven. Oh, the princesses in your royal family are really all beauties." Jindou looked down at his own figure, feeling extremely envious.

"Princess Fengyang will be going to the Kingdom of Yue to marry soon. Now everyone in the palace and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is busy with this matter," Princess Jing'an said again.

The princess's marriage is a major matter concerning the diplomatic relations between the two countries, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs pays close attention to every detail and dares not make any mistakes.

"When Princess Fengyang goes to the Kingdom of Yue to marry a foreign prince, the prince of Yue will not be so lonely anymore." When Jindou heard the word "marriage", he couldn't help but think of Jing Yu, so he said casually.

"Lonely?" This was the second time Princess Jing'an heard the words "Prince of Yue" from Jindou's mouth. For a moment, she couldn't help but become curious. As the Crown Prince of Yue, would he also feel lonely?

"Yes, the Crown Prince of Yue said that if possible, he would rather be born into an ordinary family so that he wouldn't have to live such a tiring life every day."

After a pause, Jindou said sympathetically, "Alas, this palace is truly filled with dangers. You don't know that the Queen of Yue, such a kind person, was nearly murdered a while ago."

"Ah, really?" Princess Jing'an was also shocked.

"Of course it's true. It was a concubine in the palace who poisoned the Empress in order to compete for the position of Empress."

"Was the imperial concubine executed?" Princess Jing'an asked.

"That imperial concubine is as beautiful as a flower. How could the Emperor of Yue bear to let her go? He just banished her to the cold palace. I guess she will be released soon," Jindou said helplessly.

"Then doesn't that mean Her Majesty is still in danger?" Princess Jing'an looked worried.

"Yes, the Emperor of Yue was seduced by beauty and acted on his own. The Crown Prince and the Empress had no choice but to be more careful in the future," said Jindou.

At this time, in the Yue Palace far away from Daqing, everything was just as Jindou had expected. Concubine Ji was used to living a life of luxury and being surrounded by people. How could she be willing to stay in the cold palace so quietly?

Just then, early in the morning, people were sent from the cold palace to Emperor Wu Ren’s palace.

"Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine has caught a cold in the cold palace and is now ill," a eunuch reported to Emperor Wu Ren.

"What? Is this true?" Emperor Wu Ren was anxious upon hearing this. There were many beauties in the harem, but Concubine Ji's charm was unmatched. This was also why Emperor Wu Ren had been obsessed with Concubine Ji since she was banished to the cold palace. Hearing that the beauty was ill, he naturally became anxious.

Emperor Wu Ren hurriedly stood up from the dragon throne and walked out of the hall. The eunuchs beside him also hurriedly followed him.

When they arrived at the cold palace, Concubine Ji was well prepared. She lay on the bed, looking sickly. When she saw Emperor Wu Ren come in, she cried out in a plaintive voice, "Your Majesty!"

This cry immediately made Wu Rendi's bones go limp. He hurried to sit down in front of the bed, took Concubine Ji's hand and asked, "My beloved concubine is ill. Have you called the imperial physician to see her?"

"Your Majesty, since the imperial concubine entered the cold palace, she has missed you day and night. She can't eat or sleep at night. Now she has caught a cold. The imperial physician just came and said that the imperial concubine was too worried and too weak, which caused the cold to invade her body and aggravated her condition," a palace maid next to her said at the right time.

"My beloved concubine has suffered," Emperor Wu Ren said as he stroked Concubine Ji's hand.

"Your Majesty" Concubine Ji pretended to get up, and Emperor Wu Ren quickly reached out to help her up. Concubine Ji took advantage of the situation and fell into Emperor Wu Ren's arms.

"Your Majesty, I miss you day and night in this cold palace, but have you forgotten me long ago?" Concubine Ji looked weak and frail, falling into Emperor Wu Ren's arms, and asked in a voice that was half soft and half charming.

"My beloved concubine, what are you talking about? How could I forget you?" Emperor Wu Ren said as he patted Concubine Ji's hand.

"Your Majesty, please let me out of this cold palace. I am here and can't see Your Majesty. I miss you so much," said Concubine Ji in a delicate voice.

"This..." Emperor Wu Ren hesitated a little. If he released Concubine Ji from the cold palace, he would have a hard time explaining it to the Queen and the Crown Prince. Some old ministers in the court would probably also discuss it.

"Your Majesty" Concubine Ji had finally tricked Emperor Wu Ren here today, and naturally she would not give up until she achieved her goal. Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, and she said sadly: "Your Majesty, if you don't let me go out, I'm afraid that..." Before she finished speaking, Concubine Ji covered her face and burst into tears.

"Your Majesty," the maid who had spoken earlier, upon seeing Concubine Ji crying, hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is weak and cannot stand the cold and gloomy atmosphere of this cold palace. Please, Your Majesty, for the sake of your sincere longing for your Majesty, please allow your Majesty to leave."

"This..." Emperor Wu Ren hesitated for a moment, and finally made up his mind. He said to Concubine Ji, "Don't be sad, my dear. I have agreed to it."
