When passing by Zhou Xi, Lu Yu paused again, turned sideways and said, "Where is Concubine Zhou still here?"

Zhou Xi pinched her fingers. Her nails that were carefully maintained in the past seemed to be torn off by her. The ceremonial guard was not put down. Zhou Xi looked at Lu Yu high above, knowing that he was just watching her jokes, and he didn't want to pay attention to him. He gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, Go slowly!"

Lu Yu felt bored, and his hands were folded behind his head, as if he sighed, and left.

That sigh made Zhou Xi frown and stare at Lu Yu's back...What does he mean?

Zhou Xi suddenly remembered Lu Yu's seemingly protective measures for him in the past. Last time, he clearly thought it was Luo Ran who was pushed by him, but he still pleaded for her. Suddenly, his anger swept across his chest and glared at Lu Yu in disgust, but his cheeks turned red.

"Empress, what's wrong with you?"

Zi Fu's voice came from below, and Zhou Xi came back to her senses, but she was still upset because of the thought just now, and waved her hand, "It's okay, let's go back."

"Then... can't we go?"

Zhou Xi looked at the pavilion, and the two of them were still sitting there, without any intention to leave. Zhou Xi bit her lips slightly, feeling sour and jealous. The emperor used to say that political affairs were busy, and when would she spend so long with her?

As soon as he thought about this, he saw the two of them standing up and walking out with each other. Seeing the direction they were going, Zhou Xi's hands suddenly tightened. It was the imperial study room! He once said that he didn't like the harem women going to the imperial study room. She had been there occasionally, but she left after delivering the meal, which was already a great honor.

"I saw you like to eat the glutinous rice pipa glutinous rice yesterday. Today, I asked the imperial kitchen to make it again." Lu Chen held Luo Ran's hand and said casually. When he was with her, he seemed to have endless things to say. Even these small things would be something to say.

Luo Ran bent his eyelashes and looked at Lu Chen, with a hint of shyness in his eyes, and said shyly, "Thank you, the emperor."

"Nothing happens. You are weak..."

While they were talking, the two arrived at the imperial study room. During this period, Luo Ran often came, sitting next to Lu Chen, quietly not talking. Lu Chen ordered someone to set up a chaise long behind the screen and let Luo Ran sit there. Occasionally, after a long time, she could not hear her voice. Lu Chen stood up to look at it, but she saw that she was still holding a book in her hand, but her mouth was slightly opened, and she fell asleep with her eyes closed.

The same is true today. A screen passed by Luo Ran looked at Lu Chen, who was busy, and lay horizontally on the imperial chaise longue, with a smile on his face.

"Qi'er, check the scene."

"Currently, the role is 50."

Luo Yungong, Qingru walked in with a pastry, picked up one, and placed it lightly in front of Luo Ran, "Empress, try it."

After taking the pastry, Luo Ran did not taste it. Instead, he thought that in the original text, the relationship between Zhou Xi and Lu Chen was not natural. There was the figure of the idle king Lu Yu. Lu Yu liked beauty and felt pity for beauty, so he would go into the water to save himself that time.

Even if he thought Zhou Xi pushed her into the water, he would still plead for her, but it was just because of the beauty skin.

In the original text, Luo Ran did not have the courage to hook up with Lu Chen. Once she was bullied, she ran out, but ran into Xianwang. After that, Xianwang looked for her and found Zhou Xi to ask for someone. Zhou Xi was happy to see that it was successful, so she sent Luo Ran into Xianwang Mansion.

In the original text, Luo Ran only appeared these two times, once to reflect the heroine's truth, goodness and beauty, and once to use her to make a fuss with Xianwang.

Lu Yu is also an important role in the book. If it weren't for his several rescues, Zhou Xi might not have been able to win Lu Chen's sincerity.

Luo Ran pursed her lips and put the piece of pastry into her mouth.

Qing Ru, who was standing beside her, looked at her distracted appearance and was a little confused, "Empress, what are you thinking?"

Luo Ran came back to his senses, "No, I just suddenly thought that Concubine Zhou seemed to be very quiet recently?"

"That day I saw the emperor accompanying the empress to visit the imperial garden, and there was no movement after I went back."

Luo Ran held her chin with one hand, supported her delicate face, and asked with a smile, "Do you think it's normal?"

Qing Ru looked at the smile on her face, frowned and thought for a while, and hesitated, "Now the emperor spoiled you, even if Concubine Zhou wanted to do anything, she couldn't."

Qing Ru is right, but Zhou Xi, as the heroine of the original text, would never give up so easily.

"Empress, Eunuch Zhang from the Office of the Interior is here."

Luo Ran paused the movement in his hand and chuckled, "Please go to the main hall."

Luo Ran walked out and saw Eunuch Zhang standing there with a sad face. When he saw her coming out, he immediately bowed.

Luo Ran sat down and asked him, "Eunuch Zhang is here today, is there something wrong?"

"Empress, last month, when you checked the fees of each palace, you said that you would let each palace follow the rules."

Luo Ran's eyebrows and eyes were soft, and he looked at him quietly, puzzled, "Well, what's wrong today? Someone is dissatisfied?"

Eunuch Zhang paused and said hesitantly, "Today, the people in Zhou Concubine Palace said that our Interior Affairs Office is greedy for their expenses in the palace."

"What's going on? But there are fewer things sent to Liuli Palace?" Luo Ran bit her lips and asked quickly, as if she was a little nervous.

Everyone in this harem knew Luo Ran’s origin, so they naturally knew the grudge between Luo Ran and Zhou Xi. Eunuch Zhang lowered his head and said, “Empress, how dare we? The cost of delivering to Liuli Palace is in accordance with the rules, but…”

Luo Ran frowned and said, "It's just what?"

"But when Concubine Zhou was in charge of the business, the cost of sending it to the Liuli Palace would always be 20%. Now these two layers have been subtracted."

"Is this true?" Luo Ran pursed her lips, as if she was a little embarrassed, "Does Zhou Fei know about this situation?"

"How dare I say that?" When she said this, Eunuch Zhang was a little complaining. When Concubine Zhou was in charge of the affairs, she was filial to her. Now it took so long for her to see the Shengyan. She still wanted so many Yuefengs, and even didn't give him face, so she let a little eunuch scold him so much that she blushed.

"Okay, I know, don't miss the cost of the Liuli Palace. I will deal with other matters."

Seeing that Luo Ran was responsible for his work, Eunuch Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Okay, I know."

"Yes." He lowered his head, not seeing the smile flashing in Luo Ran's eyes, and the embarrassment on his face was careless.

After Eunuch Zhang left, Qing Ru asked her, "Empress, what are you going to do about this?"

"What should I do?" Luo Ran covered her mouth and chuckled, "Do not care what she is doing, let her make trouble."

Qing Ru was a little worried, "If she went to sue the emperor."

"Hey!" Luo Ran interrupted her, looking innocent and confused, "I did nothing, I just followed the rules."

Qing Ruran looked at the deep meaning in her eyes and felt a chill in her body and lowered her head.

The Empress is waiting for Concubine Zhou to file a lawsuit.
