The day of Concubine Shu's birthday finally arrived. Zhou Xiaoyuan came to the palace with a cake she made.

When she came to Concubine Shu's palace, the palace maid saw her coming and rushed to greet her: "Princess is here? Your Majesty is waiting for you."

Zhou Xiaoyuan followed the palace maid to the inner room. When Concubine Shu saw Zhou Xiaoyuan coming, her face showed an expression of surprise: "Xiaoyuan, are you here?"

Zhou Xiaoyuan walked to Concubine Shu: "Concubine, I wish you a happy birthday!" With that, she opened the box and presented the cake in front of Concubine Shu.

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

Zhou Xiaoyuan held Concubine Shu's hand: "Concubine, you are my relative, how could I forget your birthday?"

Concubine Shu nodded: "Good boy, thank you."

The two chatted for a while, and then Zhou Xiaoyuan began to sing happy birthday. Although her singing voice was not beautiful, her intentions made Concubine Shu feel very warm.

Accompanied by Zhou Xiaoyuan, Concubine Shu spent an unforgettable birthday.

On the other side, Concubine Jia found Prince Jing. She looked at Prince Jing: "My lord, please don't let Xia Yechen's suppression of the bandits be too successful. It's best to let him die on the road in an accident."

Zhou Xiaoyuan accompanied Concubine Shu to wait for news about Xia Yechen. The news in the valley was worrying for a while, but Concubine Shu did not believe that something would happen to Xia Yechen easily.

She firmly believed in Xia Yechen's ability and wisdom, and believed that he would be able to return safely.

"Concubine, don't worry." Zhou Xiaoyuan comforted Concubine Shu, "Xia Yechen will definitely come back."

Concubine Shu sighed: "I know he is very powerful.

But this bandit suppression mission is also very dangerous. What should we do if something happens to him? "

Zhou Xiaoyuan held Concubine Shu's hand tightly: "We will always be with you, you, me, and Nini."

The two depended on each other and prayed for Xia Yechen's safe return every day. A month passed, and Xia Yechen and his party finally returned from suppressing the bandits.

Their return aroused everyone's shock and cheers, but Zhou Xiaoyuan and Shu Guifei still had doubts.

"Is he really back?" Concubine Shu couldn't believe it.

Zhou Xiaoyuan smiled: "Yes, concubine. Xia Yechen is really back."

They quickly arrived outside the main hall of the palace, waiting for Xia Yechen to appear.

Not long after, Xia Yechen walked into the hall with a victorious smile on his face, and behind him were the trophies he brought back.

After seeing Xia Yechen, the emperor showed a happy expression on his face: "Xia Qing, you did a good job!"

Xia Yechen knelt down and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty."

The emperor waved his hand: "The trophies you brought back are very good, I will reward you well."

Xia Yechen smiled: "I don't want to accept the emperor's reward."

The emperor looked at the trophies and then at Xia Yechen: "These trophies are all your fault. I will reward you well."

Xia Yechen only got some fine fabrics among the trophies rewarded by the emperor. This made Prince Jing and others feel a little guilty, because they originally wanted to gain more power by giving Xia Yechen a stumbling block.

However, their conspiracy was discovered by the emperor, and Prince Jing and others had to leave in a hurry.

Xia Yechen looked at Prince Jing's back and felt a little uneasy. He knew that Prince Jing and others would not give up and would definitely

Will try every means to frame him.

However, he didn't want to tell Zhou Xiaoyuan and Concubine Shu about these things, because they were already troubled enough.

Xia Yechen came to Concubine Shu's palace and saw Zhou Xiaoyuan making snacks for Concubine Shu. Nini was also here. When she saw Xia Yechen coming, she ran over very happily: "Daddy!"

Xia Yechen picked up Nini and said, "Nini, be good, daddy is back."

Nini happily kissed Xia Yechen's cheek, then ran back to Concubine Shu to continue playing.

Concubine Shu finally felt relieved when she saw Xia Yechen's safe return.

She knew that Xia Yechen had been thinking about Zhou Xiaoyuan, so she decided to take Nini elsewhere to give Xia Yechen and Zhou Xiaoyuan space to be alone.

"Xia Qing, you are back." Concubine Shu said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work."

Xia Yechen saluted and said, "Thank you for your concern."

Concubine Shu looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan: "Xiaoyuan, you have worked hard all day. You should go back and have a rest first."

Zhou Xiaoyuan nodded: "Okay, concubine."

After Zhou Xiaoyuan left, Xia Yechen looked at Concubine Shu: "Your Majesty, thank you."

Concubine Shu waved her hand: "No need to thank me, I just hope you can be happy."

Xia Yechen hugged Concubine Shu and said, "I will cherish you."

Concubine Shu patted Xia Yechen's hand tenderly: "Okay, you go and take a rest first. You have worked hard these days."

Xia Yechen came to Zhou Xiaoyuan's room and saw her preparing snacks. He hugged Zhou Xiaoyuan from behind and buried his head on her shoulder.

Zhou Xiaoyuan was startled and the snack in her hand fell on the table: "Xia Yechen!"

The two of them got tired of it, Xia

Yechen finally let go of Zhou Xiaoyuan. He looked at Zhou Xiaoyuan and Nini: "Okay, let's go back home."

The three of them left Concubine Shu's palace together and came to the entrance of the palace. At this time, a woman suddenly came up to him.

Zhou Xiaoyuan was a little confused when she saw this woman: "Who is this girl?"

Liu Ran took the initiative and said, "I am the woman who was saved by General Xia when he suppressed the bandits."

Zhou Xiaoyuan said oh and didn't ask any more questions. But Nini was a little unhappy. She pulled Zhou Xiaoyuan's hand: "Mother, let's go back."

Zhou Xiaoyuan nodded, she knew that Nini didn't like strangers. So, she followed Xia Yechen and Nini back to the house.

After returning to the house, Zhou Xiaoyuan asked Xia Yechen to deal with Liu Ran's affairs. Xia Yechen knew what Zhou Xiaoyuan meant, so he asked the housekeeper to put Liu Ran in another room, and then returned to Zhou Xiaoyuan's room.

Zhou Xiaoyuan was giving Nini homework and ignored Xia Yechen.

Xia Yechen gently rubbed Zhou Xiaoyuan's shoulders from behind and whispered nice words: "Madam, don't be angry when I'm back."

"You know, I've suffered a lot along the way, and I just want to come back and see you."

Although Zhou Xiaoyuan felt a little happy, she still pretended to be angry: "Who asked you to come back? I didn't ask you to come back."

Xia Yechen smiled: "I know Madam didn't ask me to come back, but I just can't help but want to come back to see you."

Zhou Xiaoyuan turned around and looked at Xia Yechen: "Okay, stop talking nonsense. You said you suffered a lot along the way, but what about now? Are you okay?"

Xia Yechen nodded: "Yes, I'm fine.

The suppression of bandits went really smoothly this time. Although it was a bit dangerous, we have arrested all the bandits. "
