After Zhao Feng walked out of the palace, he couldn't help but sigh softly. Looking at the heavy cake in his hand, he couldn't help but feel doubtful in his heart.
If it was just because she helped Zhou Tong take care of his fiefdom, the Empress should not be so kind to her.
Zhao Feng really couldn't figure out the thoughts of the Queen and Zhou Zhen. He said that the king's mind was unpredictable, but he didn't expect that the Queen's mind was even harder to guess than Zhou Zhen's!
With this thought in his mind, Zhao Feng raised his head and looked at the sky, only to find that it was already dark, so he hurried back home.
Back home, Chen Rou and Shen Chuchu asked with some confusion when they saw that Zhao Feng had brought back so many pastries.
"Husband, why did you buy so many pastries? There are still a lot of pastries at home that we can't finish!"
Zhao Feng smiled slightly and pointed at the pastries.
"I didn't buy this. It was given to me by the Queen when I went to the palace to meet His Majesty today. Try it, it tastes really good!"
Chen Rou and Shen Chuchu suddenly showed surprised expressions. Looking at those exquisite pastries, they felt that they were indeed items from the palace.
"Husband, you said you went to meet the Queen?"
Zhao Feng smiled and nodded, washed his hands a little before praising Chen Rou and Shen Chuchu.
"I guess the cosmetics you gave me before were delivered to the Queen's heart. This time she let me into the palace mainly to let me introduce how to use those cosmetics."
"It seems that our beauty salon's business is stable this time, and we can slowly promote these things to ordinary people's families, so that we can make more money!"
Shen Chuchu and Chen Rou looked at each other and nodded happily.
After following Zhao Feng for a long time, they became less concerned about the royal power and other common etiquette. If before, the two of them would have wanted to offer all these cakes and would not be willing to eat them.
But now, Chen Rou and Shen Chuchu picked up the pastries, tasted them lightly, and suddenly showed happy expressions.
"As expected, it was made by the pastry chef in the palace. It tastes really good!"
Seeing that Chen Rou and Shen Chuchu liked both, Zhao Feng said with a smile.
"If you think it tastes good, I'll hire a pastry chef for the house!"
Chen Rou and Shen Chuchu quickly shook their heads. They didn't want Zhao Feng to spend money randomly.
At this moment, Chen Rou suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, husband, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince sent someone here today. He heard that your husband had returned to the capital, so I specially wanted to invite him to come to the house. I said that my husband had gone to the palace, and the man said that he would come back tomorrow."
Zhao Feng was a little surprised, touched his chin and thought for a while, and then said.
"Have there been any changes in the capital recently? Why did the Fourth Prince suddenly invite me there?"
Chen Rou shook her head in confusion.
"It seems like nothing has changed, otherwise it would have been reflected in the newspapers."
Many officials have contributed articles to Chen Rou's newspaper and earned a lot of money, and this is all reasonable and legal income, so Chen Rou cannot hide anything in the court.
Even if these manuscripts were not published in the newspaper, she would give those officials a large sum of money to attract them to continue to submit manuscripts, which would allow Chen Rou to keep track of changes in the court.
After hearing Chen Rou's words, Zhao Feng touched his chin and shook his head.
"There are a lot of things that officials won't let on the surface. They are very thoughtful."
"That's all, I'll go to the fourth prince's house tomorrow morning to ask about the situation!"
Zhao Feng said this and saw that Chen Rou and Shen Chuchu were also full, so he smiled evilly.
"Two ladies, when I left the capital before, you promised me something. Do you still remember it now?"
Chen Rou and Shen Chuchu's faces suddenly turned red with embarrassment. Of course they knew what Zhao Feng was talking about. Ever since the last time Zhao Feng pretended to be hit and asked the two of them to serve Zhao Feng together, Zhao Feng seemed to have opened up a new world. Same as the gate.
Chen Rou spat softly and said.
"Husband, please stop talking, it's so embarrassing!"
Zhao Feng laughed twice, hugged Chen Rou and Shen Chuchu in his arms, and walked towards the bedroom together.
After not seeing each other for half a year, Zhao Feng missed Chen Rou and Shen Chuchu very much. Moreover, after so many struggles, they showed no signs of pregnancy. This made Zhao Feng a little confused and wanted to try a few more times.
After a night of ups and downs, Chen Rou and Shen Chuchu were exhausted, but Zhao Feng was very happy.
After getting up and washing up, Zhao Feng simply ate something and went directly to Zhou Kang's mansion.
The doorman informed him, and soon he heard a sound of surprise coming from the mansion.
"Mr. Zhao, you are finally here!"
"I haven't seen you for such a long time. Mr. Zhao didn't even know he was looking for me when he returned to the capital!"
Zhao Feng raised his head with a smile and saw Zhou Kang walking out. Although Zhou Kang had not changed his previous elegant temperament, his clothes were more noble than before.
This surprised Zhao Feng, but Zhou Kang didn't feel anything at all. He walked down quickly and grabbed Zhao Feng's arm.
"Mr. Zhao, do we still need these false courtesy? Next time you come, just walk in."
"You don't need to report when you see Mr. Zhao in the future. Mr. Zhao will be a distinguished guest of the house anytime he comes!"
Seeing Zhou Kang's furious look, Zhao Feng couldn't help but smile and asked.
"Your Highness, I haven't seen you for such a long time. How are you doing?"
Zhou Kang nodded and held Zhao Feng's arm all the way to the main hall.
"It's okay, but Mr. Zhao came too timely this time!"
Zhao Feng raised his eyebrows in surprise, but Zhou Kang did not explain any more, but took Zhao Feng and sat down respectively.
"Your Highness, seeing how anxious you are, has something happened?"
After Zhou Kang sat down, the smile on his face slowly faded, but he still showed a very happy expression when he looked at Zhao Feng.
"Mr. Zhao, let's not talk about these things for now. Tell me, will you not leave when you return to the capital this time?"
Seeing Zhou Kang's expectant eyes, Zhao Feng became even more convinced that something must have happened in the capital.
"Your Highness, the matter with the Princess is not over yet. I have to deal with it again, but Your Majesty gives me half a year. It is estimated that I will officially return to the court in half a year!"
After hearing this, Zhou Kang's eyes showed a look of disappointment, and then he shook his head slightly and smiled bitterly.
"That's all. Since Mr. Zhao will not be able to return to the court for half a year, I won't bother Mr. Zhao by talking about these things."
