They both knew in their hearts that a rift had formed, but they were just saving face.
Therefore, despite the Empress Dowager's repeated invitations, she only went once or twice occasionally.
However, she has been feeling unwell lately, probably because her period is about to start. Since her rebirth, she has suddenly become sensitive to cold, often experiencing cold hands and feet, which has led to irregular periods and a frequent feeling of heaviness in her lower abdomen.
This has led to her eating less and going to bed earlier these past two days.
Zhou Xuance wanted to have the imperial physician examine her, but was refused.
"It's just an old problem, nothing serious."
"The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is in a few days. You need to attend, but I'm worried about you in this condition."
"It's fine."
As the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet approached, Zhou Xuance helped her prepare a lot of jewelry and dresses.

Shen Zhiyi was naturally pleased to hear this.
Shen Qi'an just pursed his lips. He was used to the free life on the frontier, and he couldn't adapt to spending all his time in a private school.
"Father, Mother, can I not go to school?"
“Then please invite the tutor home so he can teach you one-on-one,” Xu Yunyi said.
"this……"
Shen Qi'an wanted to say something, but was scared back by his father's cold glare. He only dared to stay close to his sister, looking humble and pitiful.
Shen Zhiyi just smiled and patted her younger brother's head.
