Butler Zhou chased after Qin Chuan all the way to the door of his room before stopping.
“…Dad…Dad…”
Xiao Ba was clearly starving, barking energetically at the door of Qin Chuan's room.
Butler Zhou was anxious, but dared not make a sound, afraid of disturbing Qin Chuan's sleep.
At this moment, in the side room next to Qin Chuan's room, the Empress heard birds chirping, got up, put on her maid's clothes, and hid behind the window lattice to listen carefully to the sounds outside.
Hearing only the parrot, Hachiko, chirping, she assumed no one was outside, so she opened the door and went out.
Unexpectedly, Butler Zhou was standing outside Qin Chuan's room with a lantern in his hand...
Seeing that the woman in front of him was dressed as a maid, Steward Zhou assumed she was a palace maid that Qin Chuan had secretly hidden away, so he said, "Little Eight has come to disturb the Prince's rest, so I'll chase it away right away..."
The Queen Mother shook her head: "Little Eight is hungry and has come to ask the Prince to feed him. Leave this to me."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, young lady."
After finishing his sentence, Steward Zhou picked up his lantern, turned around, and left.
Once they reached a secluded spot, she muttered to herself, "Didn't His Majesty recall all the palace maids? Should I report this to His Majesty...?"
After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, "It's just hiding a maid; we mustn't offend the prince over such a trivial matter..."

Qin Chuan was only wearing a single layer of clothing, exposing his chest. He picked up the birdcage, poured some bird food into a small porcelain bowl, and then poured some water into another small porcelain bowl.
After the little pheasant was put into the cage, it pecked at the food with great effort, as if it were starving.
"You silly bird, you can't be chased away, you've stuck with me now, haven't you?"
Qin Chuan really intended to release the budgie, but unexpectedly it flew back.
The queen did not leave in a hurry, but instead stroked Qin Chuan's lower garment, her tone teasing and her eyes alluring: "What this servant means is, master, your bird is hungry, it should be fed..."
Qin Chuan removed her hand. "I'm not in the mood right now."
The queen stood up, took off her clothes, and said coquettishly, "Was my work not meticulous enough, not good enough?"
Qin Chuan reacted somewhat.
The queen whispered in his ear, "...Master...my body belongs to you, not just my mouth, but my whole body. I only want your favor..."
