After Zhou Lean received the Queen's gift, he personally went to the Cheng De Palace to thank the Queen.

Qiu Rong smiled as he invited her to sit down, ”I still remember how your sister used to like bringing you to find me to play. At that time, you were still young, but who would have thought that we would be together in the palace serving the emperor.”

Zhou Lean said, ”Chenqie never thought that such a day would come. Now that I have entered the palace, I would have to seek the guidance of Empress in a bad place.”

She used to love to cry, but wherever Zhou Leping went, she would follow. She was obedient, did not have a temper, and was also timid.

After chatting with the Queen for a while, the two of them continued with their interactions. Seeing that the Queen was getting impatient, Zhou Lean got up and took his leave, ”It's getting late, so I won't be staying here to disturb the Queen. The Emperor still needs to go to De An Palace for his meal.

The empress had a very appropriate smile. ”Your majesty is more important. Since that's the case, I won't keep you any longer.”

After seeing Zhou Lean out, Qiu Rong was so patient that he even sent him away. Finally, he couldn't hold his temper anymore and started smashing things.

”Who does she think she is? She's only been in the palace for a few days and she's already showing off in front of me. What qualifications does she have to be a small benefactor?”

”Don't be impatient, Empress is fond of you, the Emperor doesn't necessarily love you because she likes you. The Master Lin is famous in the imperial court, you are also a noble empress, and even Miss Xia Fu had entered the imperial palace, these things made the Emperor wary of you, and she is Zhou Leping's younger sister. If the Emperor wants to use Zhou Leping to deal with the Empress, he naturally has to give her some sweets for Zhou Family.”

”I know, but I just can't stand her complacent expression.” Qiu Rong stood up while holding Zizi Bai's hand, ”What do you want to say in the honorable room?”

”Last night, he shouted at the emperor three times and was scolded to leave in the end. The emperor is staying at De'an Palace. There's no need to go to court today, it's almost noon before he leaves.”

”Leaving at noon?”

Every time he came to her side, he would be eager to sit down for a while before leaving. He actually stayed in De An Palace until noon.

”Pay careful attention to the movements in De An Palace. I don't want anyone to be over there.”

”Yes.”

The empress couldn't come out, and the imperial concubines' children couldn't be kept either. It wasn't hard to guess the reason after thinking about it.

The harem was a place where a mother could rely on to gain a foothold. Having a prince was better than anything, but the emperor had never given her the chance to do so. Since she couldn't have it, no one else could.

That night, the emperor arrived as promised. Zhou Lean placed the good wine and good dishes on the table.

Zhao Shiqian took her hand and sat down on the table, he looked at the dishes on the table and said, ”I was delayed by a temporary matter, I did not ask you to wait for a long time did I?”

Zhou Lean shook his head, ”As long as I can wait until I come to the Emperor, this concubine will be willing no matter how long I have to wait.”

She lowered her head with a blush, her shy and timid look pleased Zhao Shiqian. He waved his hand to dismiss the palace maid and pulled her into his embrace, ”I heard that you went to see the empress today?”

”Chenqie has been bestowed with a noble title and the Empress has sent a congratulatory gift. Chenqie should be thanking you.”

”Alright, if you have nothing else to do, then walk around with the empress.”

This sentence seemed to have a deeper meaning.

The emperor favored her and even allowed her to walk around with the empress. It was probably to increase their relationship, but it was actually to anger the empress.
