Zhou Xu's favor was within expectations.
The patience and novelty of Su Zeyi towards her had reached an unbearable point.
No one would have thought that Su Zeyi would be so fond of a girl, to the point that he almost had to comply with every request he made.
However, Zhou Xu knew her limits very well. She would never want to go to something that did not belong to her.
She had already lost control of her heart because of Su Zeyi's gentleness and was no longer able to avoid falling in love with him.
This was a dangerous signal, but Zhou Xu did not notice anything. She was like a little girl who had just started her first love, meticulously dressing up every day, waiting for her lover.
When Zhong Miao Yi saw Zhou Xu again, she had already been pampered for a week.
Compared to the first time they met, her face was filled with a sense of pride and self-confidence that came from the bottom of her heart.
This was different from the others. She had a feeling from the bottom of her heart that Su Zeyi had a place for her.
Zhong Miao Yi still did not care about worldly affairs. It was already March and the weather was warm.
Zhou Xu had come for his birthday.
Su Zeyi wanted to host a banquet with six palaces for her, but unfortunately, he had granted the right to not go to Zhong Miao Yi.
Zhou Xu felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart, she did not want to think too much about Su Zeyi's feelings for the Zhong Miao Yi.
Even if he didn't see her, he would absolutely not allow the servants below him to bully the Chang Mu Pavilion.
Zhou Xu viewed this as a form of guilt, a remedy for the lost children of Zhong Miao Yi. No matter what, she was unwilling to admit that Su Zeyi had a Zhong Miao Yi in his heart.
Every woman in love likes to deceive herself, inevitable law.
The Zhong Miao Yi knew why Zhou Xu had come. Logically, she should have been able to avoid him.
But when the Zhong Miao Yi saw her, the time she locked herself up, accurately speaking, it should also be close to two months.
If he didn't go out and walk around, he wouldn't feel refreshed at all.
Zhou Xu did not leave Su Zeyi with a few words. From his eyes, from his limbs, there was nothing that did not express the admiration and adoration he had for Su Zeyi.
The Zhong Miao Yi listened silently and maintained her proper smile. She didn't reveal any expression that was envious or unbearable in the slightest.
She had always been calm, and regarding Su Zeyi, the Zhong Miao Yi was everyone's senior. She knew about it the most, and also endured the most.
For example, during the period when she had a child, she was so foolish that she believed that Su Zeyi would let her go just because he owed her and liked her a little.
The current Zhou Xu would not understand what kind of person Su Zeyi was.
That look of his, Zhou Xu might not be able to see it for the rest of her life, and she would never be able to understand Zhong Miao Yi's feelings.
All she could see was a tiny bit of kindness that could not even be considered as true love.
"Sister's birthday is coming up, and the emperor appreciates sister, but sister still wants to invite sister to go with him. Sister should go out and take a walk to get some fresh air. Maybe it will be faster to meet someone?" Zhou Xu's tone of voice carried a trace of coquettishness.
Zhong Miao Yi didn't know if she would speak to Su Zeyi in such a manner, and if she did, she also didn't know if Su Zeyi liked it or not.
However, these were not that important anymore. The Zhong Miao Yi was waiting for Zhou Xu to come and invite her, and she should indeed go out and take a walk: "Since you have already said so, I will naturally go."
Zhou Xu was stunned for a moment. She never thought that Zhong Miao Yi would agree so readily.
However, since Zhong Miao Yi had agreed, Zhou Xu curled her lips. When she had the shadow of Zhong Miao Yi on her body, this matter had always been a thorn in her heart.
She wanted to prove that the Emperor already likes her, and that Zhong Miao Yi is already in the past.
"It's great that big sister's willing to honor the emperor. Recently, little sister has been pampered by the emperor. The empress doesn't seem too happy, so little sister's heart is filled with fear." Zhou Xu frowned slightly, patting her chest.
The Zhong Miao Yi smiled, "Why would the empress be angry with you? "As long as you serve the emperor well, the empress won't be angry."
It was strange that Yun Mengqi was not angry, but Zhong Miao Yi obviously knew that Yun Mengqi was angry. Not only was she angry, she was also aggrieved.
In the past when she was at the mansion, whatever she did was just a family matter, it didn't matter if others knew about it.
But now, she was the empress. Whatever she wanted to do, it would be under the heavens, and it also involved the empress dowager and the Zhou family. So Yun Mengqi could only endure.
Based on Yun Mengqi's personality, being able to endure till now was already a huge improvement.
Su Zeyi now wanted to give Zhou Xu his birthday and the Zhong Miao Yi also wanted to come and join in the fun. It would be weird if Yun Mengqi didn't explode this time.
Zhong Miao Yi felt that her smile had already begun to disobey her heart. She hated Yun Mengqi, and she also hated Su Zeyi.
Her warmth and sincerity were truly few. They had all been used up in the long past.
The current her, was already a person without a heart.
"Really?" Zhou Xu blinked her watery eyes and deliberately let out a long sigh. "That's good over there. I thought the empress was angry with me. That would really be my fault."
Zhong Miao Yi stood up, she walked to Zhou Xu's side and took down the pair of jade bangles on her hands: "I don't have anything valuable, I think the Emperor has given you a lot of things, better than the ones in my palace, although these bangles are not valuable, but I have worn them for many years, you keep them first, on the day you were born, I will give you some other things."
Zhou Xu's eyes flickered, no one knew what she was thinking, but she quickly smiled and took the bracelet from Zhong Miao Yi: "Thank you, Big Sister. Actually, whatever this Big Sister wants to give you, I like it."
The Zhong Miao Yi smiled and nodded, the pair of bangle were given to her by Su Zeyi all those years ago, and she had actually not worn them for a long time.
He never thought that she would wear it right in front of him, Zhong Miao Yi heaved a sigh of relief. He would definitely be able to recognize her.
Zhou Xu sat down again for a while, then quickly left after mentioning that the soup she made for Su Zeyi was almost ready.
Zhong Miao Yi watched her leaving and unconsciously clenched her fists.
