But the day the lockdown is lifted is almost here.

After swallowing the last bite, the female protagonist put down her chopsticks.

A hint of satisfaction crossed his face.

I don't know if it's because the imperial kitchen staff have improved their skills, or what, but these dishes are so delicious.

"Your Majesty, the day of your release is fast approaching, and we will be able to arrange for you to serve me in bed. You cannot eat like this now," Qin Yin said with concern.

The female lead's expression turned somewhat unpleasant after hearing Qin Yin's words.

"Qinyin, how can you make decisions about Her Majesty's affairs?"

"Your Majesty just used a couple more chopsticks, and you're still spoiling the mood," Qinzhi retorted to Qinyin.

"Besides, Your Majesty is in good health now, so please stop saying such useless things."

"You! Qinzhi, I only spoke up to remind Her Majesty because I was doing it for her own good," Qinyin said unwillingly.

"You don't need to say more, Her Majesty already knows everything." Qinzhi said, adding a compliment to the female lead.

The female protagonist's expression softened after hearing Qinzhi's words.

She had worried before that she might have gained weight, but from Kotoe's words, she realized that her worries were unnecessary.

She's just a bit voluptuous.

"Alright, Qinyin, you should say less." The female lead interrupted Qinyin.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Qin Yin then shut her mouth.

This kind of situation had happened several times before, but she was just not good with words and couldn't speak as well as Qinzhi, so she kept giving in.

Although I was worried about the Empress, she had gained some weight compared to before, but it was alright, so I stopped trying to persuade her.

Ten days later,

That is, the day the female lead is released from confinement.

Early in the morning, the female protagonist led her entourage to Kunning Palace to pay her respects to the Empress.

After arriving at Kunning Palace, most of the other concubines had already arrived.

Even Mo Qian, who usually arrives late, came early.

The main reason is to see the female lead after the ban is lifted.

Amidst the laughter and chatter of the crowd, the female protagonist walked in.

When everyone saw the female lead, their eyes widened and a hint of astonishment flashed across their faces.

It seems they never expected the female lead to turn out this way.

Mo Qian's face flashed with satisfaction after seeing the female lead.
