Lin Xiafu felt ashamed that he had been scolded by the Queen in front of Zhou Lean, hence he retreated back in embarrassment and bowed, ”My respects to Empress.”

Zhou Lean did a good job with the rules and also bowed to the empress. He was extremely respectful and didn't show the slightest bit of dissatisfaction towards her.

Qiu Rong laughed, ”In the future, we will be sisters. I am old friends with your sister, I will definitely take care of you.”

Zhou Lean smiled brilliantly, ”Thank you Empress for your appreciation.”

Zhou Leping was waiting for Zhou Lean at the entrance of the palace.

After the final judgement, the beautiful girl who was chosen by the Emperor would still have to live in the palace for a period of time. After the final judgement, the beautiful girl who was selected by the Emperor would still have to live in the palace for a period of time.

The result was something that could already be expected from the beginning, and it was only unexpected that Zhou Lean would lose.

She stood in her original position for a long time, dazed. Finally, Chang Feng came to call her, saying that Zhao Deng was looking for her.

Zhao Deng spent every day doing nothing. He was either looking for fun or on his way there, and since his reputation was not good, he had the emperor and empress dowager backing him up anyway. He would do whatever he wanted, doing proper work every hundred years, busily doing whatever he wanted to do when he saw the servants around him looking at him and feeling terrified.

Looking for the hundred and eighty craftsmen, a line of shops, a few days have already begun to take shape.

Unfortunately, Zhou Leping was not doing well today. After he spoke for half a day with a dry mouth, she was distracted the entire time.

Zhao Deng knocked on the table, and said unhappily, ”What are you thinking?”

Her soul returned to her body, and she stammered that it was nothing.

”People have already entered the palace, everything is certain now. What you are thinking now is useless.”

Zhao Deng stared at her and sighed, ”Did you really not realise it earlier?”

”Found what?”

It seemed like he didn't notice anything.

”Le An likes the Royal Brother. I thought you could see something.”

Zhou Leping was startled, ”You know about this?”

”Do you remember the past? Even before you joined the army, when Royal Brother was still the crown prince, on one of the horse races, Royal Brother fell down from his horse and broke his leg. Le An, who was initially afraid of horses, rushed up first. ”

She had some impression of this matter, she was by Zhao Shiqian's side when he fell off the horse, and some people later on said that she deliberately bumped into Zhao Shiqian's horse in order to win, causing him to fall off. She thought Zhou Lean was afraid that she would be implicated.

”Also, that year during the Spring Festival Gala, Le An followed behind you guys. His eyes were always looking at the Royal Brother, and he had never seen anyone else.”

He could give many similar examples, but at that time, everyone treated her like a child. Even if someone saw her, they wouldn't think about it.

Only Zhao Deng would think like that, he just couldn't understand why he was such a handsome, elegant, and elegant person, and why all women liked people like Zhao Shiqian to do that.

”Don't even think about it. Everyone has their own good fortune. I know you are worried about her, but this is her own decision. In the future, you can't blame anyone else.”
