”Let's go.” Zhou Leping waved his hand to chase them away.

When Zhu Guanliang went out, he even considerately closed the door.

He wanted to see how long Zhou Lean could last before he ran out again.

”Le An, you …” You can leave now. With my current state, I will … It'll scare you. ”

Last time when Zhou Lean ran off, although she didn't say anything, she was still feeling very sad in her heart. After all, she was her own little sister.

Zhou Lean pulled her hand down, ”Sis … Are you still mad at me? ”

Without cover, Zhou Leping hurriedly lowered her head, ”No, how could big sister blame you? I'm not angry.”

Zhou Lean held her face and looked straight into her eyes, his expression guilty and sad, ”I didn't do it on purpose that day, I … It has been a long time since I've seen you. When I saw that you have changed your appearance, I found it hard to accept that. I am sad that you have become like this for our family, and not because I dislike you. ”

Since childhood, the two of them had been together. Her mother passed away early, and she was the one Zhou Lean stuck to the most.

Zhou Leping had not cried for many years, but after hearing Zhou Lean's words, his eyes suddenly turned red.

”I heard from my brother that you entered the palace today. Has the emperor seen you before?”

”Yes.”

Zhou Lean held her hand. ”Your majesty must be very sad as well, right?”

”He …”

Perhaps he just couldn't bear to see her standing there. With how much she had changed, even his own siblings would find it hard to accept it, let alone him.

Zhou Lean waited for her to continue speaking, but Zhou Leping didn't know what to say.

”Didn't the emperor hold a banquet for you tonight? Can I come with you? ”

”You?”

Zhou Leqi was the assistant minister for Ministry of Rites, and since she was a Chief General that the Emperor had just bestowed upon her today, it wouldn't be excessive for her to bring Zhou Lean to the Wind Receiving Banquet.

However, considering the Emperor's current attitude and the fact that it was a welcoming banquet, it would be difficult for her to bring Zhou Lean along without an explanation.
