On the first day of the first day of April, a round of red sun was released, so that the people of the imperial capital who had suffered from more than ten days of rain were happy, and the dignitaries and dignitaries had more good luck to offer their birthday to the saint.

However, in a palace in the capital, Zhou Caiwei, the well-dressed princess of Linchuan, looked at the blue sky outside the window that finally cleared, and her heart became heavier and heavier.

Because of her husband, Qin Fei, the king of Linchuan, did not keep his agreement with her and rushed back to her before the first day of the fourth month.

Originally, she was full of confidence that Qin Fei would come back on time, and she had been a husband and wife with him for a few months, and after seeing his various methods and experiencing that life and death tribulation with him, she felt more and more that His Royal Highness the King of Linchuan was extraordinary, and subconsciously felt that no matter how difficult things were in his hands, they were not worth mentioning, and no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were, he could also make them disappear in the middle of talking and laughing. Although she knew that the big thing Qin Fei was going to do at sea was extremely dangerous, she never thought that he would not succeed, or even the possibility of not coming back.

Because of this confidence in Qin Fei, that is, he failed to return to the capital on the last day of March, Cai Wei was still not panicked at all, and returned to the Linchuan palace with great fanfare, preparing to enter the palace early the next morning to celebrate Emperor Linde's birthday.

Because the Linchuan concubine Jin was afraid that she would leave one step further, her uncle was seduced by those young and beautiful goblins again, so he still guarded the Chengen Mansion every inch.

As for Concubine Jinci, I heard that although she has stopped vomiting centipedes in the past few months, she has a strange disease that does not wake up, and she lies groggily in bed to meet Zhou Gong except for being awake for an hour or two every day. At the beginning, Concubine Jin said that she wanted to hand over the power of the palace to her, but she had been sick, so naturally she couldn't manage the family and couldn't take care of things.

Since this Mama Feng is Qin Fei's person, she naturally obeys the words of the princess Caiwei, and as soon as she heard that the princess was going to go back to the house first, she cleaned up the Changning Courtyard where the princess lived early, cleaned up the new one, and sent a carriage to pick up the princess back to the house in person.

Cai Wei came back at the right time, she just entered the gate of the Linchuan Palace, and the little eunuch sent by Emperor Linde entered the door, saying that she was ordered by the Holy Father to see if the King of Linchuan had returned to Beijing.

Cai Wei had already thought about how to deal with such a thing, and said calmly: "My Royal Highness has been looking for a birthday gift that is different and can not be put down at first sight, and has been looking for a month outside. It's bothering my father-in-law to make a special trip, this is a little bit of my heart to my father-in-law on behalf of His Royal Highness, and I ask my father-in-law to smile and accept it, don't dislike it! ”

The little eunuch took the purse handed over by Mama Du, touched it twice, and immediately smiled with joy: "The princess is too polite, the slave will go back to the palace to return the words of the mother to the saint, and let the saint have a good time!" ”

Even at that time, she still firmly believed in her heart that Qin Fei would definitely appear in front of her at night, with his usual slightly mocking look on his face, and said something unserious to her with a hippie smile.

But until the first hour of the first day of the fourth month, he was still nowhere to be seen. But the time has come to this, Cai Wei can't wait any longer, she puts on the crown of the princess, and plans to go to the palace alone to congratulate Emperor Lin De on his birthday.

She got into the carriage and leaned against the wall with a heavy heart, she wanted to force herself to think about it, but when she entered the palace and was asked about Qin Fei by Emperor Lin De, how would she continue to make up a lie. But he always couldn't help but guess what happened to Qin Fei, whether he was injured or sick again, or encountered some other accident, which made him unable to come back in time, where is he now, is he safe and sound or-

She suddenly didn't dare to think about it anymore, closed her eyes, buried her face in her hands, and tried to suppress the fear that rose from the bottom of her heart. At this moment, she suddenly heard a slight noise, and she hurriedly opened her eyes to see that the curtain of the car was swaying, and there was already one more person beside her.

The man was like a puddle of soft mud on the chair cushion, without the elegance of the prince and grandson, but in Cai Wei's eyes, not only did he not feel dazzling, but he felt indescribable joy, because this person was her husband, and her Royal Highness finally did not break his promise and returned to her side.

"Your Highness!" She whispered with some excitement, "You, you're finally back!" ”

Qin Fei closed his eyes and said for a long time: "This king has always been a man of his word, and when has he never done what he promised you!" ”

Cai Wei had a lot of things to say to him in her heart, but after a closer look, she saw that his face was full of wind and frost, his face was pale and haggard, and there were two deep blue and black marks under his eyes.

She felt a slight pain in her heart, so she didn't say anything more, only said, "It will take more than half an hour to arrive in the palace, Your Highness will take a nap for a while!" ”

She didn't know if Qin Fei heard her words, although he didn't say anything more, but his snoring gradually started. He had slept on the cushion of the chair, but as he fell asleep, his head unconsciously slipped onto Cai Wei's shoulder.

Cai Wei was hurt in his left shoulder, gently pushed his head away with both hands, and muttered in a low voice: "Don't panic!" She grumbled, hesitated slightly, but didn't have the heart to push him back onto the cushion, half-supporting and half-hugging his body and letting him slowly rest on her lap. He only had half an hour to rest, and he had to sleep as comfortably as possible.

The carriage had already driven into the first palace gate, and Qin Fei was still asleep on Cai Wei's lap. Cai Wei wanted to call him up, but seeing that he was sleeping soundly, she thought about it and held back, seeing that he was so tired, it would be good to let him sleep a little longer.

When the carriage drove into the second palace gate, they had to get out of the carriage and walk, and they had to call him. Cai Wei looked at Qin Fei's tall nose bridge, and stretched out two fingers to repay him with the method he had used to wake her up after the wedding night.

As soon as her fingers touched the bridge of Qin Fei's nose, people opened their eyes and grabbed her.

Cai Wei laughed a little embarrassedly, "Your Highness is awake, I was just about to call you, it's really time for you to wake up!" ”

She was about to quietly withdraw her hand, but was grabbed by Qin Fei, and asked her with a smile in her eyebrows, "Is the princess taking advantage of this king's nap to do something to this king?" ”

"Well, it's just that there is a little dust on His Highness's face, and I want to help His Highness wipe it off." Cai Wei was in a hurry.

"Since the princess cares so much about the king's appearance, then Princess Lao will apply some more grease powder for me to make the king's complexion look better!"

As he spoke, he took Cai Wei's hand and reached into his arms, touched a small box, and came out.

Seeing that this box was familiar, Cai Wei immediately recognized that this was the homemade jade powder she used every day, and was a little speechless. I don't know when this guy stole it out of her bedroom, but when he saw the heavy blue and black under his eyes, his uncle Emperor Lin De saw it, and he would have thought that he didn't return home at night, and ran out to be a thief for several days.

She sighed, but still resigned herself to open the jade box, dipped her little fingertip in some jade powder and gently wiped it under his eyes, covering up the blue and black a little, and after thinking about it, she also applied a little thin layer to his face.

This is the first time Cai Wei has helped a man apply grease and powder, and when she saw her homemade jade face smeared on Qin Fei's face, it immediately had an immediate effect, making his originally pale face look much brighter, and the blue and black under his eyes also lightened a lot, and the whole person's complexion suddenly looked much better, no longer like the dead man he looked like when he first got into the carriage.

Seeing Qin Fei with his eyes closed and motionless, she was afraid that he would fall asleep again, so she hurriedly called softly: "Your Highness, Your Highness!" ”

If it weren't for the fact that there wasn't much time to delay him at this time, Qin Fei really wanted to lie on Cai Wei and enjoy this moment of warmth again. It was already comfortable on her lap, and then the dark fragrance of her body lingered in it, and her fingers caressed his face so softly. The numb and crispy feeling passed from her fingertips to her face, and then flowed all the way to his heart, making him feel a little itchy and want to dodge, but he coveted the slight warmth and tenderness of her fingertips, and finally obediently leaned back, motionless by her to fiddle with her face, and for the first time in his heart gave birth to a sense of peace and affection.

"Can't this birthday feast be held later?" He muttered indistinctly, and suddenly got up from Cai Wei's lap, and while sorting out his clothes, he whispered in her ear what Cai Wei wanted to know.

"The big deal at sea has been negotiated, Zheng Yihu has cleared his grievances, and after taking Xu Hai's head to the tomb of the chief helmsman, he was embraced as the new chief helmsman of the Sea Eagle Society. It's just—"

"What, but what's wrong?"

"An Chengxu is back." Qin Fei said lightly, frowning slightly.

"The leader of the black-clothed guards, the eunuch An Chengxu!"

Cai Wei once heard her father talk about the most famous eunuch in the world, it is said that the Empress Dowager Sun had great trust in this Gonggong An, who had served her from the beginning, and it can be said that she was obedient, not only made him the chief eunuch of Ciqing Palace, but also handed over the special function of the black-clothed guard directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor of the Yan Qin Dynasty to him for more than 20 years, monitoring the courtiers for the Empress Dowager Sun, fabricating charges, and punishing dissidents.

"But His Highness's whereabouts have made him suspicious?" Cai Wei asked with some concern, otherwise how could Qin Fei suddenly mention this person at this time.

Qin Fei nodded, stared at Cai Wei and said: "Now that time is pressing, I will go back and tell you in detail, I only know that he is suspicious of me now, and today's birthday banquet is waiting for us, I am afraid that it will not be as simple as drinking wine and eating food and saying some auspicious words." ”

Cai Wei immediately understood what he meant, "Your Highness, don't worry, I know what to do." ”

Qin Fei smiled slightly, stepped out of the carriage first, and used to jump directly from the carriage without pedaling, and stretched out his right hand to Cai Wei who walked out of the car.

Cai Wei looked at the smile in his eyes, couldn't help but smile at him, put her hand in his palm, and let him help her step down, and walked towards Shou'an Hall hand in hand.

Although they didn't know what was waiting for them at this birthday banquet, what they saw in each other's eyes was not the slightest fear, only the joy of reunion after a long absence.
