It was dark before the Fu family's carriage entered the capital.
As soon as they entered the city gate, the Fu family's carriage stopped at the edge.
Fu Zhao suddenly opened his eyes.
It's really not peaceful today. Could it be that something else happened? Or maybe Pingle County Lord had another trick to force their carriage to stop?
Fu Zhao's heart tightened.
Cong and Fu Wan knew nothing about Pingle County Lord.
Cong was confused and wanted to go out to take a look, "Why did you stop?"
Fu Zhao grabbed Cong and said expressionlessly: "Sister-in-law, don't go out."
Looking at Fu Zhao's face, Cong was surprised.
Infected by Fu Zhao's nervousness, Cong also sat back, suddenly feeling a little uneasy.
Fu Wan keenly felt the abnormal atmosphere in the carriage. She shrank her neck and huddled in the corner of the carriage like a quail.
In the carriage, no one spoke for a moment.
The movement outside the carriage was particularly clear.
Fu Shaonian seemed to say a few words, then walked to the carriage and asked the people inside, "Why don't you come out?"
Fu Shaonian's tone was relaxed and a little joyful.
Fu Zhao then opened the curtain at the car window and looked out.
Fu Shaonian was seen standing and said with a smile: "Zhao Zhao, come down quickly and see who is coming."
There was a trace of confusion on Fu Zhao's face, but seeing Fu Shaonian's look, it seemed like something bad had happened to him.
Fu Zhao got off the carriage and was startled again when he saw the tall man standing in front of the carriage.
Didn't you say that you were busy with official duties? How could you come to pick her up at the city gate?
Chen Feng smiled, stretched out his hand, and spread his palms.
Fu Zhao's face turned red. He glanced at Fu Shaonian and then glared at Chen Feng.
Fu Shaonian is still here, why is Chen Feng so careless?
Mrs. Cong didn't know when she got off the carriage and said with a smile: "Zhao Zhao, please go with the Crown Prince quickly. The Crown Prince has been waiting for you for I don't know how long."
When Fu Zhao thought about how long Chen Feng had been waiting at the city gate, his heart softened.
She couldn't care less about her shyness, walked up to Chen Feng in small steps, and placed her hand on Chen Feng's generous palm.
Chen Feng closed his fingers and wrapped them around Fu Zhao's little hand.
Chen Feng nodded slightly to Fu Shaonian and Cong, and left with Fu Zhao.
Fu Shaonian and Mr. Cong smiled happily.
Riding on the horse, with Chen Feng's warm embrace behind him, Fu Zhao felt that his fatigue had been swept away.
She turned her head and tried her best to look at Chen Feng, but she could only see Chen Feng's chin.
She asked: "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
I was supposed to return to the capital before dark, but because I was delayed by matters related to Pingle County Lord, I arrived after dark.
I don’t know how long Chen Feng waited.
Chen Feng smiled and said nothing.
Seeing that Fu Zhao was still looking at him, he gently turned Fu Zhao's face to another direction with his fingers and whispered: "Look, the lantern parade has begun."
Various lanterns formed the parade, which was very lively.
Fu Zhao's eyes lit up. She hadn't seen such a lively and festive scene in many years.
Because I was riding a horse, it was inconvenient to go over and watch.
Chen Feng then hugged Fu Zhao off the horse and led Fu Zhao to watch the lantern parade.
Seeing Fu Zhao's smile that never faded away, Chen Feng felt that it was worth waiting no matter how long.

Mother Ji took a carriage and rushed to the Hou Mansion.
She waited at the door for a while, and the concierge let her in.
Under the leadership of the servants of the Hou Mansion, she went to the He family.
Mr. He looked unhappy and seemed to be still angry. When he talked to Aunt Ji, his anger had not dissipated.
"Mommy, why are you here?" He asked.
"The County Lord is missing. Do you know where the County Lord has gone?" Mother Ji asked anxiously.
In front of Mr. He, she had nothing to hide.
After all, Pingle County Lord and the He family talk about everything.
He couldn't believe his ears and frowned, "What did you say? Who is missing?"
"My county boss disappeared. When we were in the suburbs, he left with a man who looked like a skinny monkey, and then disappeared." In front of Mr. He, Mother Ji told everything.
Mr. He knew the plan of the Pingle County Master tonight. He also accidentally took a look at the skinny monkey-like man that Mother Ji mentioned. He was the person brought by the Pingle County Master.
He thought for a moment and guessed: "Maybe Pingle is not lost, but he has other things to do."
Nanny Ji was so anxious that she told Mr. He every word that Princess Pingle and the thin monkey said.
"Although I'm a servant and can't say much, I have to say one more thing about the county lord. The people on the carriage are Mr. Song and the young lady from the Hou Mansion. My county lord should be with the carriage.
She left. If it was my county owner’s idea, how could she get in the carriage?"
He's face darkened.
Also, according to the temperament of Pingle County Lord, he should leave after seeing the excitement.
He suddenly had an idea, "You mean, it was the thin monkey who captured Pingle?"
Mother Ji lowered her head, "Old slave, this is just a guess."
He didn't say anything to Nanny Ji, but asked Yinxiang to find out if Fu Zhao was back.
Yin Xiang came back soon, "I haven't come back yet, the yard over there is dark."
He raised the corner of his mouth, it was already this hour and Fu Zhao still hadn't come back. It seemed that the Lord of Pingle County had succeeded this time.
Mother Ji didn't expect that He could still laugh at this time. She couldn't help but said: "Mom, don't worry. Maybe Pingle has other arrangements? What's wrong with Pingle's temper?
Might I be at a disadvantage?"
Mother Ji was stunned.
He continued: "By the way, who else knows about Pingle's disappearance?"
"Our wife also knows."
He said dissatisfiedly: "What did you tell Madam about? Aren't you doing a disservice? When Pingle comes back, he will definitely be unhappy."
After what He said, Ji's mother also began to wonder if she was having random thoughts.
He told Yin Xiang, "Bring me a red envelope and let Aunt take it back. Aunt, don't worry. You can go back and tell Madam not to worry either. Pingle has a big idea."
Mother Ji was so dizzy from what Mr. He said that she somehow stumbled out of the Marquis' Mansion. When she was sitting on the carriage, she looked at the red envelope in her hand in a daze.
Was she really the one making the fuss?
If it were true, Pingle County Lord would definitely not be able to spare her afterwards.
She couldn't help but shudder.
Hou Mansion.
Yinxiang couldn't help but ask: "Do you think the county master is really okay?"
He thought of the tricks used by Lord Pingle and said with a smile: "Of course it's okay. I grew up with her, don't I know her well?"
Yin Xiang pursed her lips and looked in the direction of Fu Zhao's courtyard.
It was dark and very quiet over there.
Mr. He also looked in that direction, feeling particularly good.
Finally, that annoying person was taught a lesson. Let’s see how she can continue to stay in the Hou Mansion!
