Xia Jinwei looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan in surprise: "Why?"

Zhou Xiaoyuan smiled: "Because I know why Ji Yan rejected you. He has a bad background, so he dare not respond to your feelings."

Xia Jinwei sighed: "So that's it."

Zhou Xiaoyuan nodded: "Yes. But you don't have to worry about this. As long as you have more contact with him and let him feel your warmth and care, he will definitely respond to your feelings."

Xia Jinwei thought for a while and felt that what Zhou Xiaoyuan said made sense. So she decided to continue working hard to influence Ji Yan's heart. But before that, she had to go back to Prince Rong's Mansion with Zhou Xiaoyuan.

Zhou Xiaoyuan excitedly took out the snacks she made from the kitchen. Xia Jinwei took a bite and couldn't help but admired: "It's delicious!"

Zhou Xiaoyuan smiled: "Eat more if you like it."

Xia Jinwei was eating snacks and chatting with Zhou Xiaoyuan. But Zhou Xiaoyuan's mind didn't seem to be here, she was a little absent-minded.

Xia Jinwei looked at her doubtfully: "What's wrong with you? You seem a little absent-minded."

Zhou Xiaoyuan came back to her senses and smiled: "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."

Xia Jinwei looked at her worriedly: "If you feel uncomfortable, you'd better go to bed early."

Just then, Nini came back. She saw Xia Jinwei and Zhou Xiaoyuan chatting together, so she came over and teased: "Sister Xiaoyuan is looking forward to daddy's return again?"

Zhou Xiaoyuan blushed with embarrassment: "No."

Xia Jinwei seemed to understand something when she saw Zhou Xiaoyuan's expression. She came up to Nini and pinched her face: "Okay, how dare you

Talk to me and see how I deal with you. "

Nini quickly asked Zhou Xiaoyuan for help: "Mother, help me!"

Zhou Xiaoyuan held Nini in her arms and said to Xia Jinwei: "Okay, don't bully Nini. There seems to be some unrest over the border, so you don't have to worry too much."

Xia Jinwei's expression became serious after hearing this: "I heard that too, it seems that there are some rebels over there who are causing trouble."

"All the princes have gone to deal with this matter, so it's good that Xia Yechen can return home every day."

Zhou Xiaoyuan understood Xia Yechen's busy schedule, but she was not used to not being with him for a long time.

Their lives have also become a little different. They used to eat and chat together, but now she is often alone in the house.

On this day, Xia Jinwei and Nini both left, and Zhou Xiaoyuan was the only one left in the house. She sat in the room, looking at the scenery outside the window, feeling a little lonely.

She knew that Xia Yechen was busy for the country and the people, but she still missed him a little.

Just then, Nini came back. When she saw Zhou Xiaoyuan sitting alone in the room, she asked, "Sister Xiaoyuan, what's wrong with you? You look a little unhappy."

Zhou Xiaoyuan smiled: "It's nothing, I'm just not used to it."

Nini asked: "Aren't you used to Xia Yechen's absence?"

Zhou Xiaoyuan nodded: "Yes, although I know he is very busy, I am still not used to it."

Nini consoled her: "Sister Xiaoyuan, you have to understand Xia Yechen. He is busy for the country and the people now. When he finishes his work for a while, he will definitely come back to accompany you."

After hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyuan couldn't help but feel a little...

move. She knew what Nini said was right, but she was still a little uncomfortable with it.

She sighed: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Do you know where I put the birthday gift I prepared for Concubine Shu?"

Nini thought for a while: "I remember it should be placed in the kitchen."

Zhou Xiaoyuan stood up: "Then let's go to the kitchen and have a look."

The two of them came to the kitchen together. Zhou Xiaoyuan rummaged through everything and finally found the birthday gift she had prepared for Concubine Shu. She breathed a sigh of relief: "Great, I finally found it."

Nini asked: "Sister Xiaoyuan, is your birthday gift for Concubine Shu?"

Zhou Xiaoyuan nodded: "Yes, I want to give Concubine Shu a surprise."

Nini smiled and said, "Then I will also help you prepare."

The two of them started preparing the ingredients for the cake together. Zhou Xiaoyuan is skilled in craftsmanship and quickly prepared all the materials. She and Nini started making cakes together.

They chatted while making and gradually lost track of time.

Finally, the cake is finished. The two of them looked at the beautiful cake in front of them and couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Zhou Xiaoyuan carefully put the cake into the box: "Okay, let's go to the palace tomorrow and give the cake to Concubine Shu."

Early the next morning, Zhou Xiaoyuan and Nini came to the palace with cakes.

They came to Concubine Shu's palace. When the palace maid saw them coming, she hurriedly greeted them: "The princess and the young lady are here? The empress is waiting for you."

Zhou Xiaoyuan and Nini followed the palace maid to the inner room. Concubine Shu saw them coming in, with an expression of surprise on her face: "The princess and the lady are here? It's great!"

Zhou Xiaoyuan walked to Shu

Next to the imperial concubine: "Mother, concubine, I wish you a happy birthday!" With that, she opened the box and presented the cake in front of the imperial concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu looked at the cake in front of her with tears in her eyes: "Thank you princess for remembering my birthday."

Zhou Xiaoyuan held Concubine Shu's hand: "Concubine, what's wrong with you?"

Concubine Shu looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan and said hesitantly: "Xiaoyuan, there is something I want to tell you."

Zhou Xiaoyuan looked at Concubine Shu's expression and felt a little uneasy: "Concubine, what's wrong?"

Concubine Shu sighed: "Xia Yechen was sent out by the emperor to suppress bandits."

Zhou Xiaoyuan was shocked: "What? How could this happen?"

Concubine Shu shook her head: "I don't know the specific reason, but Xia Yechen didn't tell you, right?"

Zhou Xiaoyuan lowered her head: "Yes, he didn't say."

Concubine Shu looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan with some distress: "I know you are worried about him, but Xia Yechen doesn't want you to worry either."

Zhou Xiaoyuan raised her head and looked at Concubine Shu: "Concubine, I'm really worried about him. Is he in danger?"

Concubine Shu comforted her: "Xia Yechen was sent by the emperor, and he will definitely protect himself. And suppressing bandits is not a big deal. When he comes back, he will have good news with you."

Zhou Xiaoyuan sighed: "Okay, I will wait for his news."

The two chatted for a while, then Zhou Xiaoyuan said goodbye and left. She returned to her room, still feeling a little uneasy.

She knew that Xia Yechen was her support and support. If something happened to him, she didn't know what she would do.

But she also knew that Concubine Shu Gui was waiting for her birthday gift, so she didn’t want Concubine Shu Gui to

The concubine is disappointed.

So Zhou Xiaoyuan decided to prepare a special birthday gift for Concubine Shu. She wanted to celebrate Concubine Shu's birthday in her own way and make Concubine Shu happy.

She began to prepare various materials and carefully made the cake. Although her craftsmanship is not exquisite enough, her heart is sincere.
