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

The day of marriage to the Kingdom of Yue finally arrived. Early in the morning, the Yuxiu Palace became busy. The palace maids and nannies were busy shuttling back and forth.

Unlike the lively scene in Yuxiu Palace, Princess Fengyang's Changle Palace was silent and deserted at this time.

Qingyan stood aside with her head lowered, and from time to time she secretly looked up at Princess Fengyang who was sitting in front of her dressing table and looking at herself in the mirror.

Listening to the noisy sounds coming from the Yuxiu Palace outside, Qingyan couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart: Alas, if the master she serves didn't make trouble, it would be the Changle Palace that would be lively today.

I don't know what her master is thinking. It's obvious that Lord Wei has no interest in her, but she still insists on sticking to him.

What's wrong with going to the Kingdom of Yue to marry? The one she's marrying is the current crown prince, the future emperor. Wouldn't it be nice to be the empress of the Kingdom of Yue? But now, that face is in such a mess, it's really scary.

"Qingyan, look at my face. Is it better now?" Princess Fengyang, who was sitting in front of her dressing table, suddenly asked while looking at her face in the mirror.

Although Princess Fengyang had a face full of rashes and her face had become ugly these two days, she was in a very good mood. When she thought about the marriage issue that had troubled her for several months and had been resolved, Princess Fengyang felt extremely relieved.

After a month, when my appearance has recovered, I will have to think of a way to plan how to get my father to grant me a marriage. It is no longer possible to wait for that person to marry me on his own initiative. I can only force him to marry me!

Princess Fengyang thought about this and looked at her face in the mirror again. Suddenly, she remembered that Qingyan had not yet answered her question, so she raised her voice and asked again: "Qingyan, I am asking you a question. Do you think my face is better?"

Qingyan was thinking about something with her head down when she was startled by Princess Fengyang's voice. She raised her head hastily and agreed, "Yes, Princess, I feel much lighter."

"I think so too," Princess Fengyang nodded with satisfaction.

At night, Duke Dingguo’s Mansion.

Jindou was walking back and forth in his room. When he thought of Princess Jing'an who had gone to the Kingdom of Yue to marry, Jindou felt very bad.

Alas, I finally made a friend whom I could talk to, but he went to such a faraway place.

Jindou suddenly felt a little regretful that he had forgotten to go to Yue Kingdom with Princess Jing'an for a few days.

However, considering that Princess Jing'an is going to marry the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace this time, the royal rules must be complicated. I am afraid that she will not have any free time within a month.

Forget it, I'll just wait for a while and then find a way to go to Yue State to visit her.

After walking around the room boredly, Jindou thought for a while, picked up a deck of cards on the table, pushed open the door and ran out.

At this moment, in Wei Qing's room, Wei Qing was sitting on the bed, gritting his teeth, covering his head with his hands, enduring the waves of severe pain in his head like a surging sea.

That’s right, tonight is the night of the full moon, and the headache came as expected, like a tide, again and again, leaving no chance to breathe.

Wei Qing was lying on the bed, covering his head with one hand and clenching the other into a fist. His clothes were soaked with cold sweat.

When another wave of severe pain came, Wei Qing finally couldn't bear it anymore. He got out of bed and staggered forward a few steps, but stopped abruptly when he was about to reach the door.

I can't go. Things are different now. I can't sneak into Jindou's room again.

In the past, when he was in the government office, the two of them were in the same yard, and there was no one else in the yard. When he had a headache, he could sneak into Jindou's room.

But now, there are two maids in Jindou's courtyard. More importantly, when he was in the government office, he didn't know that Jindou was a girl. Now that he knows, if he sneaks in again, wouldn't he be like a lecher?

Wei Qing staggered around and sat down on the chair beside the table, ready to grit his teeth and endure this long, purgatory-like night, just like he did before Jindou came.

Just as Wei Qing covered his head tightly and gritted his teeth to endure it, suddenly, there was a sound of "thump thump thump" of running feet outside, followed by a knock on the door.

"Second brother, are you asleep?" Jindou shouted outside the door.

As if hearing the sound of nature, Wei Qing, who was suffering from a headache that was worse than death, seemed to have seen a savior. He hurriedly replied from inside the room: "I'm not asleep yet, come in."

"Second brother," Jindou said, pushing open the door and rushing in. He placed the playing cards in his hand on the table and said, "Second brother, I can't sleep tonight. Can you play poker with me?"

As soon as Wei Qing came in from Jindou, his eyes were fixed on Jindou's hands. Another severe headache came over him, and Wei Qing's hands stretched out uncontrollably and suddenly grabbed Jindou's hands that were shuffling the cards.

The intense pain suddenly disappeared like the receding tide, and Wei Qing's mind became clear in an instant. He raised his head and looked at Jindou, but found that Jindou was staring at the table with his mouth wide open, head lowered.

Wei Qing followed Jindou's gaze in confusion, and when he saw the table, his head suddenly buzzed. He saw that Jindou's two hands holding the cards were tightly clenched by his own hands.

Wei Qing's face turned red in an instant. He didn't know when he stretched out his hands. Perhaps it was because his headache was too severe, and his body reacted instinctively and reached out to hold Jindou's hand.

"Second brother, what are you doing..." Jindou looked at Wei Qing holding his hands and asked stutteringly.

Wei Qing abruptly retracted his hands, quickly changed the subject to conceal his mistake, and said, "Jindou, don't you want to play poker?"

"Oh, yes, right." Jindou's attention was instantly diverted, and he quickly shuffled the cards with both hands.

Here, Wei Qing let out a long breath, but in his heart he couldn't help but recall the delicate and soft touch when he just held Jindou's hands.

In the room of Duke Dingguo's mansion, Duke Dingguo and his wife were not asleep at this moment. Duke Dingguo was pacing back and forth in the room, while his wife Xu was sitting on a chair, covering her face and crying quietly.

Nanny Chen, who was standing next to Madam Xu, carefully advised, "Madam, please stop crying. You might hurt yourself."

"Madam," Madam Xu cried softly, "When I think of Qing'er suffering from a headache right now, my heart aches like a knife!"

"Madam..." Nanny Zhen wanted to persuade Xu again, but she didn't know what to say.

"Madam," Madam Xu thought for a moment, wiped her tears with her sleeve, stood up, and said to Madam Chen, "Madam, please come with me to Qing'er's yard to take a look. I'm really worried about Qing'er."

"Yes," Nanny Zhen agreed, quickly holding one of Xu's arms and walked out.

Duke Dingguo, who was in the room, looked at his wife Xu's back and sighed deeply.

Xu and Nanny Chen came to Wei Qing's yard and found that the candle in Wei Qing's room was still brightly lit.

"No, I must win today!" A voice came out. Wasn't it Jindou's voice? Xu and Nanny Zhen stopped and listened carefully. Then they heard Jindou say from inside the room: "Second brother, if I don't win you tonight, you won't be allowed to sleep."

"Okay, I'm willing to accompany you to the end." Wei Qing's voice also came out.

Xu and Nanny Chen looked at each other. From Wei Qing's voice just now, not only did he not sound like he was enduring pain, but from his voice, it seemed that he was in a very happy mood at the moment.

Xu's worried heart was instantly put at ease. She turned and left the yard. She couldn't help but put her hands together and said, "Amitabha."

"Madam, is it true that the Second Young Master's headache won't recur as long as he stays with Jindou?" Nanny Chen asked in a low voice.

"That should be the case." Xu nodded and thought to herself: Maybe Jindou is really the benefactor of her youngest son and will protect him throughout his life.
