After Zhou Yitong heard what the Zhong Miao Yi said, she covered her mouth and laughed: "It is because of little sister Zhou Xu that big sister came so early, no wonder, little sister is being pampered, don't you want to celebrate?"

When she said those words, although she was smiling, Zhong Miao Yi could tell that her gaze was very cold.

If it was said that Zhou Yijin did not mind, then Zhong Miao Yi would definitely believe it a little, but for Zhou Yitong's words, she would definitely have an idea in her heart.

In the Zhou family, she was the first wife and daughter, so she was naturally more noble than Zhou Xu, the second wife and daughter.

When they were at home, Zhou Xu had been soft and weak, looking harmless. Zhou Yitong did not expect her to be so ambitious, to reveal her true nature after entering the palace.

In the eyes of the empress dowager, they were merely pawns who had consolidated the Zhou family's influence. In the eyes of the empress dowager, they were merely pawns who had consolidated the Zhou family's influence.

At that time, Zhou Yitong had already admired and wanted to go to the capital to see what it looked like.

However, her father had said that the Zhou family could not enter the capital. Even if they wanted to go, they had to have an imperial edict or an edict from the empress dowager.

But this empress dowager had never wanted to meet anyone from the Zhou household. They were related by blood, but not by blood.

Zhou Yitong often envied Yun Mengqi. She obviously thought that this princess, whose entire life had been ruined by the fall of her mother, had actually entered the eyes of the empress dowager and became extremely spoiled. Now that she was sitting on the empress dowager's throne, Zhou Yitong did not feel that her position in the empress dowager's heart was any higher than Yun Mengqi's.

This complicated board game made Zhou Yitong's head hurt.

Zhou Xu did not move, and did not take the bait from Zhou Yitong's provocation either. She smiled lightly, and looked past Zhou Yitong's shoulder.

Following that were shouts and kowtows, Su Zeyi's lineup was huge, and could be seen from afar.

The Zhong Miao Yi followed Zhou Yitong to the place beside Zhou Xu and bowed, lowering his head as much as possible.

Su Zeyi first passed by Yun Mengqi. He was in an exceptionally good mood today, and even specially extended his hand to pull Yun Mengqi up before walking towards Zhou Xu.

This action was nothing to Su Zeyi, but Yun Mengqi's heart was already overturned with joy.

Su Zeyi leaned over, and Zhou Fu smiled especially sweetly: "The emperor is here, Fu Er pays his respects to the emperor."

Su Zeyi answered absent-mindedly. Just a moment ago, he saw Zhong Miao Yi from afar.

She only used a single white jade hairpin and wore simple green clothes. Amongst the beautiful women with the radiance of spring, she was still the most eye-catching.

It was just that … Su Zeyi frowned, he stepped over Zhou Xu and pulled on Zhong Miao Yi: "Wearing such thin clothes and coming out, are you alright? The servants below are also not diligent. "

When these words came out, the Ah Jiu, who had just stood up, kneeled down once again.

Being ignored, Zhou Xu's smile immediately froze on her face. She stood up, but neither did she stand up, and Yun Mengqi, who had followed Su Zeyi over, looked at Zhou Xu proudly. In these many days, she had never seen Zhou Xu lose face.

Zhong Miao Yi gently pushed Su Zeyi's hand away. "Your Majesty has forgotten, today is Imperial Consort X's birthday."

Finished speaking, Su Zeyi was startled, he turned his head, and saw Zhou Xu still kneeling by his side.

All of a sudden, his heart softened. He knew that Zhou Xu was a good and obedient girl.

"Why are you still kneeling? Don't your knees hurt?" Su Zeyi softened his voice and helped Zhou Xu up. He then looked at Zhong Miao Yi and saw that she was only smiling at him and Zhou Xu, as if they were outsiders.

Su Zeyi was suddenly angry, but felt that he did not have the qualifications to be angry, the more he thought, the more useless he became.

Zhou Yitong was right beside Zhong Miao Yi, looking at Su Zeyi and Zhou Xu's backs, she said: "Looks like Big Sis is still more important in the Emperor's heart, after all, Big Sis has followed the Emperor for so many years, so there is always friendship."

Zhong Miao Yi turned her head and glanced at Zhou Yitong, who was standing beside Zhou Yitong without saying a word. "Don't speak nonsense at the side of the palace, you must remember."

After he finished speaking, he followed her to the seats, where Ah Jiu held onto Zhong Miao Yi, and quietly reminded her where her seat was.

Because today was Zhou Xu's birthday, the first seat on the left side that was originally leaning on Su Zeyi should have been given to the Zhong Miao Yi. After making an exception and giving it to Zhou Xu, the Zhong Miao Yi sat on the right side, next to Yun Mengqi.

It had been a while since she and Yun Mengqi had seen each other. Yun Mengqi's attitude towards the Zhong Miao Yi was slightly better than before, and this time, she had suppressed Zhou Xu's anger.

It was probably because of this release that Yun Mengqi took the initiative to ask Zhong Miao Yi: "Are you willing to come out?"

Zhong Miao Yi was startled for a moment, then looked at Yun Mengqi. She smiled and nodded: "Come out for a walk, it's already spring."

"That's right, it's been a long time since we've seen each other during the spring. You should always walk around often in the future. Otherwise, you'll miss out on a lot of good scenes around the palace." Yun Mengqi now also unconsciously put on the airs of a queen when she spoke. It seemed that sitting in this position was very comfortable for her.

The Zhong Miao Yi remained silent. She naturally would not miss the upcoming show. She just hoped that this step would not lead to too much trouble.

Just as Su Zeyi was speaking to Zhou Xu in a low voice, he did not know what he was talking about, but Zhou Xu suddenly laughed bashfully. He looked at Su Zeyi reproachfully, causing Su Zeyi to smile as well.

The actions of the two naturally affected the hearts of everyone present. Zhou Yitong could not sit still and stood up to toast her. Su Zeyi glanced at her and said softly, "We remember that your name is Zhou Yi."

It was hard to tell whether it was a copper or a brocade, but Zhou Yitong didn't mind at all. She smiled generously: "Chenqie Zhou Yitong, here is to offer a cup to Your Majesty and Little Sister Xu, to celebrate Little Sister's birthday."

After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp. It was a rather heroic look, causing Su Zeyi to look at her twice.

Thinking about it, Su Zeyi already had a good impression of him in Su Zeyi's heart.

She didn't plan to toast, nor did she plan to say anything. The reason she sat here today, in the end, was also to see how many concubine s came from the side of the palace.

But now it seemed that Su Zeyi did not care about Zhou Xu as much as Zhong Miao Yi thought he would. The soft corners in his heart were not many to begin with, and there were even less that could be separated out.
