However, the Maid Lin immediately turned serious and said softly, "What satisfied you? If you're extremely smart, don't even mention it. Just tell the emperor what you saw before your eyes, the empress dowager and esteemed wangfei, all you need to do is to laugh and chat. We came to a conclusion without permission. What if it is different from what the master is thinking? "You also know that the Emperor …"

Zhou Huai nodded repeatedly, and said gratefully, "I still understand in my heart."

The Maid Lin had followed the empress dowager since she was young. She had always been such a simple person, and now that Miss Jiao of the outer sect was the empress dowager, it was fortunate that the emperor was a powerful figure. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to deal with this harem.

Without even looking at the emperor, she calmly walked towards the dining table and set down the clean bowls and chopsticks. These things should have been done by the people below, the Maid Lin and the Eunuch Zhou in front of the door immediately stepped forward to give her a hand.

walked to the side of the table and sat down expressionlessly. He handed over a bowl of soup, but the emperor only glanced at him coldly, and then another person appeared in front of the door. Consort Shu had already changed into a snow-green palace dress and had a gentle smile on her face.

Er Zhen followed beside Consort Shu and set down a cup of soup. The eunuchs who were tasting food outside immediately came in to test for poison, while the Consort Shu bowed to the empress dowager, then walked in front of Xiao Gui.

When she saw the Consort Shu bowing to her, she calmly replied. She knew that there was nothing left for her to do, so she slightly bowed towards the emperor and quietly returned to the side of the empress dowager.

At the dining table, the Consort Shu made dishes and soup for the emperor in a very familiar manner. It was usually the same for the Consort Shu, but the empress dowager couldn't bear to see such a scene today.

The empress dowager frowned, looking at Qi-er, then at the two of them. She knew that her son had done it on purpose, so she reached out her hand and said with a smile, "I'm too happy to eat today. Accompany me to walk under the shade of a tree."

The woman's face was indifferent, but when she heard these words and felt the empress dowager's good intentions, her eyes curved into a lovable smile. She supported the empress dowager outside. When they passed by the dining table, the empress dowager only said, "Let's go out for a walk." She didn't pay any more attention to the two Imperial Concubines.

In early summer, the sun shone brightly, even under the shade of the trees, it was still very hot. The empress dowager timidly looked at the bright sun and sighed, "The Jizhou's summer is just like the spring here. I've been here for three years, I'm not used to it.

"The four seasons are distinct in Yuanzhou, it's about the same as the capital," Yu'er replied.

The empress dowager said, "Jizhou is still the best …" However, she immediately smiled and patted her hand. "These are the words that we, your wife, and my wife said. Don't make others listen to you, it's naturally the capital that's the best. How can you be the emperor in Jizhou?"

"A favor." The empress dowager was used to calling her daughter-in-law by her first name, but the smile on her face lessened as she said helplessly, "The emperor did such a petty thing. I'm sure he doesn't think you're a smart child, so don't bother with him."

The head of the big family was bowed without a word.

The empress dowager said, "The emperor is a righteous and loyal person. Sooner or later, he will know of your good points. Be patient and wait."

Yu'er nodded, "Chenqie will remember."

Her Majesty asked, "Have you heard the story of the Queen Shouan?"

"After chenqie left the capital ten years ago, she did not know anything about the affairs of the world. The Jizhou is so far away, and this chenqie does not even know about the matters of the Mother and the Emperor's past."

The empress dowager sighed. "Should I tell you?"

On the other side, the emperor had already put down his chopsticks. He had an impatient aura around him as he paced back and forth in front of the palace gate.

"Since the emperor is so unhappy, don't let chenqie do such a thing again in the future. I wonder what the empress dowager was thinking just now, and what the empress was thinking, she must have thought chenqie was doing this on purpose."

The Consort Shu suddenly threw down her bowl and chopsticks, and said to the Emperor without any trace of politeness, "Your Majesty, chenqie will take her leave now."
