Chapter 878: Clinging to the Legs (2)
However, before the army arrived, the Dunzhu sisters came to the door first.
After a night of careful consideration, the two sisters decided to go back to Lingbei. Although there were nightmare memories there, it was the place where they were born and raised after all. Their parents and relatives were there. For them, there was their root and the place they were most attached to!
Caiwei was not surprised at their decision at all. She just told them to stay in He's roast duck and take them back to Lingbei after she came back from Beijing.
Mrs. Cui is now the only one in charge in the Shen Mansion. The concubines in the family have been dispersed by County Magistrate Shen. Not only that, Lord Shen was also very careful in front of her, fearing that he would do something to make her unhappy.
Early in the morning, Mrs. Cui gave an order, and the cooks in the mansion showed their magical powers and carefully cooked a table of breakfast with good color, fragrance and taste. After the breakfast was ready, Lord Shen followed the lady's short order and stayed in the mansion to wait for the arrival of His Royal Highness the King of Qin.
Soon, the King of Qin came uninvited. When the doorman came to report, he looked trembling. Although Nangong Yi was traveling incognito and did not report his real name, his strong aura and innate nobility still made the guards and doormen guarding the door feel pressured, and they went in timidly to report.
When Lord Shen heard that the King of Qin had arrived, he hurried to the door in person and invited the King of Qin to the flower hall in the mansion, and respectfully performed the etiquette of monarch and subject.
Nangong Yi had no mind to pay attention to him. As soon as he entered the flower hall, his charming eyes were fixed on Caiwei, and he could not pull them away.
After not seeing her for a night, he missed his little girl so much. In the past, when they didn't sleep together, he missed her, but he could still suppress it. But since he slept with her during this period, he has been accustomed to the days of two people being together and leaning on each other, inseparable. Last night, he was suddenly glimpsed by Dan'er, which made him feel empty and lonely. He tossed and turned all night. After getting up early in the morning, after teaching Chaoyang a lesson, he told his generals and rode into the city in a hurry to see the little girl he had been thinking about all night.
The moment he saw Caiwei, his empty heart suddenly became full, as if it was filled up, and the feeling of loneliness and helplessness disappeared instantly. He looked at Caiwei and smiled silently, as if he was satisfied to see her.
Caiwei was stunned for a moment, then glared at him, indicating that Lord Shen was still being polite.
Nangong Yi then remembered County Magistrate Shen who was kneeling on the ground. He realized that he was emotional and impolite, so he hurriedly asked County Magistrate Shen to stand up, walked to the table with a smile, and asked everyone to sit down.
County Magistrate Shen was very good at judging and appropriate. Seeing that the future of King Qin was brilliant, he wanted to make friends with him, so he also asked his wife and daughter to join the table. Mrs. Cui was an open-minded and generous woman. Although she was sitting at the same table with the prince, she was not restrained at all. Juhua was a little nervous at first, but because she knew that this noble prince was Caiwei's future husband, she was not so scared!
The guests and hosts had a great meal. After eating, Nangong Yi took Caiwei to say goodbye to them. The army had arrived in Qing County and would continue to travel south immediately. As the commander-in-chief of the three armies, Nangong Yi had to stay in the army and could not leave for long. The family of Sheng did not dare to keep them, and diligently sent the two guests out the door, reluctantly parting.
As soon as he got back to the carriage, Nangong Yi couldn't wait to hold Caiwei on his lap and buried his face in her neck. After a while, he whispered, "My lady, we will never live apart again."
