When Zhao Zilan saw Chu Qi looking at Shen Qingxi, a trace of strangeness slipped through her heart. For some reason, she always felt that although Chu Qi married Shen Qingrou, she didn't seem to really like Shen Qingrou. Thinking of all the things she married Chu Qi, Zhao Zilan still had a thorn in her heart.

Zhao Zilan smiled and said, "Does Your Highness and the eldest lady of the Shen family be familiar with you?"

Chu Qi didn't expect Zhao Zilan to ask this question, and immediately said, "I'm not very familiar, what's wrong?"

Zhao Zilan smiled slightly and said, "Your Highness takes a concubine, and he is the second lady of the Shen family. In my opinion, this young lady seems to be much better than the second lady. She is both beautiful and talented. Why didn't your highness take a fancy to the young lady at the beginning?"

Chu Qi felt a little uncomfortable. Although Zhao Zilan didn't mean that, he knew that Shen Qingxi didn't like him at all. As a result, Shen Qingrou's words seemed to be a bit ridiculous. Chu Qi pursed his lips slightly and sighed, "I didn't think about taking a concubine at the beginning. It was arranged by the Queen. The Queen liked you and I also liked you. Of course, there was nothing else. Even if she had a good appearance and talent, she was just a lie."

When Zhao Zilan heard this, she felt that she was full of joy for a moment. Chu Qi was used to disguising her. This sounded particularly beautiful, and his expression was even more tender. Even though Zhao Zilan had lived for two lifetimes, she could not tell the truth for a while.

Zhao Zilan couldn't help but clench Chu Qi's hand under the table, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Chu Qi was a little stiff. Because in terms of appearance and talent, Zhao Zilan was one level behind Shen Qingxi. If he could get married with Shen Qingxi, how could he choose Zhao Zilan! As soon as this thought fell, Chu Qi said, "Don't think about those things. Even the second lady of the Shen family is also because of an accident. Since you followed me, I will naturally not let you suffer any losses."

The more Zhao Zilan heard it, the sweeter he felt, and naturally he would not doubt anything else, but when he didn't see Chu Qi looking at Shen Qingxi, he almost looked unwilling.

Shen Qingxi sat in place but didn't feel the eyes of many people. The one who was most eye-catching today was Chu Ye. Naturally, everyone else looked at Chu Ye. She sat there quietly. Chen Yuechan arrived soon. As soon as Chen Yuechan arrived, she naturally sighed at the lively night banquet today. Shen Qingxi talked and laughed with Chen Yuechan, and the emperor and empress arrived soon.

The emperor and the empress were dressed up today. Even the concubines in the harem were dressed up in a magnificent manner. As soon as the banquet started, the emperor began to praise Chu Ye. When the court officials heard Xian Zhiya, they naturally understood that the emperor wanted to praise Chu Ye. The concubine Shu looked calm, but the queen's expression was not good. Soon, the emperor gave him wine and the banquet reached a climax. The court officials lined up to toast Chu Ye. For a moment, Chu Ye seemed to be the prince with the highest status.

The prince and the third prince looked at this scene with a look of something wrong. Chu Qi also felt a little strange when he looked at it, so he couldn't help asking Zhao Zilan, "What did your father tell you?"

Zhao Zilan was stunned and then said, "My father didn't say anything else, he just said... You should know what happened to the Seventh Prince in his early years, and you said you don't have to take the Seventh Prince to heart."
