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

In the palace, Wei Qing saw Princess Fengyang walking towards him. There was no way to avoid her, so he had to stop.

"Lord Wei," Princess Fengyang bit her lip and called out.

"Your Highness," Wei Qing bowed and stepped aside.

Why doesn't this person like me? Princess Fengyang bit her lips tightly, staring at the face in front of her with infatuated eyes. For a moment, she just wanted to throw herself into this person's arms and let him hug her.

Ever since I was old enough to understand, I have fallen in love with this man and have decided on this man.

For him, I rejected so many princes and generals, and even made myself look like neither human nor ghost in order to avoid the marriage. Isn't what I have done enough?

"Princess" Qingyan saw Princess Fengyang staring at Lord Wei infatuatedly, and couldn't help but remind him in a low voice.

At this time, Wei Qing's face was getting darker and darker as Princess Fengyang looked at him. He was about to leave with a flick of his sleeves when Princess Fengyang was awakened by Qingyan's cry. She called out again, "Master Wei!"

Wei Qing had no choice but to retract his raised foot and said, "Princess, what else do you want?"

"Master Wei, could you please...help me?" Princess Fengyang lowered her stance for the first time, clasping her hands tightly together. "I don't want to marry into the Marquis of Zhaoyuan's mansion. Could you please...help me?"

"How dare this humble official interfere in the princess' affairs?" Wei Qing frowned and said, "Princess, please don't embarrass me."

"Master Wei, you can help me. You are the only one who can help me now." Princess Fengyang finally lost control of her emotions after holding them back for so long. She rushed over and grabbed Wei Qing's clothes, saying urgently, "Go and tell my father that you like me. He will definitely agree to your request!"

"Princess, Princess!" Qingyan and the palace maids beside her saw Princess Fengyang lose her composure and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Princess Fengyang.

Princess Fengyang, however, clung to Wei Qing's clothes tightly and kept saying, seemingly frantically, "Sir Wei, just tell my father that you like me, and he will definitely agree. Sir Wei, go talk to my father! Go talk to my father!"

"It's simply crazy." Wei Qing pushed Princess Fengyang away with disgust, turned around and strode forward without looking back.

"Lord Wei, why on earth don't you like me? Why am I not worthy of you?" Princess Fengyang fell to the ground after being thrown by Wei Qing, and she couldn't help crying out loudly.

"Princess, please get up quickly. It will be troublesome if the emperor sees you." Qingyan and the palace maids persuaded Princess Fengyang as they helped her up.

In Yanghe Palace, after listening to the eunuch's report, Emperor Qingyuan was furious and said, "Princess Fengyang will continue to be confined to her house until her wedding next month!"

In Lezhou City, Jindou and Song Yujiao, dressed in men's clothes, walked around for a whole morning until they felt hungry and found a restaurant to sit down.

The two of them ordered a large table full of dishes and were about to eat when they heard a diner at the next table say, "Last night, I heard that another baby was lost in a nearby village."

Another diner at the next table chimed in, "This is the third one this year, right? Alas, in the past two years, I've lost a few every year."

"Yes, you said that after ten months of pregnancy and the birth of the baby, it was stolen before the baby was even born. Isn't this a life-threatening thing?"

"Yes, it's really a sin!" The diners at the nearby tables echoed.

When Jin Dou and Song Yujiao heard about this, Song Yujiao couldn't help but ask the diners at the next table, "The baby is missing, and the family didn't report it to the police?"

The diners at the nearby tables all looked at the two men, and one of them replied, "We reported it to the authorities, but we still don't have any leads."

Song Yujiao was about to ask another question when she saw a diner at the next table pointing to a carriage outside and saying, "Look, the steward of Prince Zhao's mansion is here to get medicine again."

Another diner at the next table chimed in, "This Prince Zhao truly has a deep affection for his Princess Zhao. It's been over two years since she passed away, and not only has he not remarried, he's also developed a heart disease from missing her so much that he needs medicine every day to alleviate the pain. He's truly a man of deep affection."

After hearing what the diners said, Jindou and Song Yujiao couldn't help but look outside as everyone else did, and saw a carriage flash past outside the restaurant.

Jindou watched the carriage pass by, thought for a while, ran out of the restaurant, and glanced at the carriage going away.

After having their fill, Jindou and Song Yujiao walked out of the restaurant.

"Jindou, these baby stealers are really despicable. If my parents give birth to a child and it is stolen in a few months, they will be worried to death." Song Yujiao couldn't help but said to Jindou as soon as she walked out of the restaurant.

"That's true," Jindou nodded, feeling very angry.

"How about we find out who stole the baby?" Song Yujiao said with her almond-shaped eyes.

"Okay!" Jindou nodded without hesitation. Children are the apple of their parents' eyes, and people who steal children are the most hateful.

"Let me think about where to start the investigation." Song Yujiao walked back and forth on the ground with one hand on her chest and the other supporting her chin.

"Let's start from Prince Zhao's Mansion," Jindou said before Song Yujiao could think of anything.

"Prince Zhao's Mansion?" Song Yujiao was a little surprised.

"Yes." Jindou thought of the carriage he had just seen outside, and what the diners in the restaurant said. He suddenly had an intuition that the Prince Zhao's Mansion might be related to the case of the missing baby.

Prince Zhao's mansion was located in the suburbs of Lezhou City. When Jindou and Song Yujiao went there, they saw some young girls queuing at the gate of Prince Zhao's mansion and walking in one by one.

The two of them quickly asked around and found out that Prince Zhao's mansion was looking for a few more maids.

Jindou and Song Yujiao looked at each other and hurriedly ran to a nearby alley. When they came out, they had both changed into women's clothes.

Following the girls queuing outside, they entered the mansion together. A plump maid glanced at them and asked, "Are you here to be maids too?"

"Yes, Madam, we two have fled here from famine. Now we are all alone and helpless. We thought of becoming a maid in the mansion so that we can have a place to stay."

The fat nanny nodded, looked at the two of them again, and said to a maid next to her, "Take them and change their clothes first, and then lead them to Princess Xiyue's courtyard."

"Yes, Ma'am," the maid agreed, and led Jindou and Song Yujiao to change into the maid's clothes in the mansion, then walked through the corridor and entered an elegant courtyard.

As soon as they followed the maid into the yard, they heard beautiful piano music coming from the room.

The maid led the two into the room, where they saw a woman sitting in front of a zither with her back to them, playing it quickly with her hands.

Looking at the woman's back, she has a slender waist and a graceful figure, which shows that she must be a beauty.

When the song ended, the woman turned around, and Jindou couldn't help but widen his eyes. Although he had a premonition that she would be a beauty, he didn't expect her to be so beautiful.

She is truly a beauty with lips as red as cinnabar, skin as white as cream, delicate eyebrows and bright eyes like water.

The maid who brought Jindou and the other two in said to the woman, "These two people were assigned to the courtyard by the housekeeper to serve you."

"Okay, you can go down," Princess Xiyue nodded.

"What are your two names?" asked Princess Xiyue.

"My name is Jindou," Jindou spoke first.

"Slave... My name is Yujiao." Song Yujiao was obviously not used to the words slave and servant, and she sounded a little stiff when she said them.

"These are two really nice names, one is gold and the other is jade," Princess Xiyue said with a smile.

Jindou and Song Yujiao looked at each other. Haha, why didn’t they realize before that one was Jin and the other was Yu.
