Concubine Ru blushed, and she pulled the emperor to sit at the top seat. She sat next to the emperor.
"Ru'er hasn't told me yet! What were you talking about just now?"
Concubine Ru was stunned and said awkwardly, "What I'm talking about is a distant relative of mine in the past. He has a weird personality and always likes to live in the deep mountains and valleys."
“Everyone thinks he looks like a rat.”
The emperor frowned and nodded.
He looked at Ju'an who was standing aside and still bowing, smiling.
"You're exempt from the formalities."
"Since we are already in the palace, let's have lunch at noon."
He didn't even refuse.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
The emperor nodded and asked curiously, "Why haven't you seen Madam Gao come into the palace these days?"

Zhao Zecheng was not arrogant at all. He would pick up food for Concubine Ru from time to time and even felt that she ate too little.

"I really can't eat any more."
"If you keep eating, you'll become a pig."
The emperor touched her little face and said, "It doesn't matter, my beloved concubine, no matter what you become, I still like you."
Concubine Ru blushed and lowered her head.
After dinner, Concubine Ru suddenly said to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, tomorrow I would like to go to Hanshan Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings."
"I wonder if Your Majesty can go with me."
