Queen Zheng learned the news yesterday and specially prepared a reward.

"Madame Zheng, give the reward I prepared to the wife of Marquis Qin."

"Your Majesty, the Queen, would like to thank you for your reward."

The Empress Dowager looked at Gu Zhao deeply and was about to speak when the voice of Eunuch Hai came from the door.

"The Emperor has arrived."

All the concubines stood up and walked towards the door.

Gu Zhao stood up and retreated to the edge.

"I have met the emperor."

Looking at the large group of concubines in front of him kneeling down to pay their respects, Gu Zhao also knelt down.

The emperor walked straight past these people and headed towards the empress dowager.

"My son has met his mother."

After the Empress Dowager called out, the Emperor stood up and looked at the concubines.

"Flat body."

The Emperor said to the Empress Dowager with a smile.

"Mother, I just finished talking to Lord Qin and his son, and I came to pay my respects to you. Then I remembered that his wife is here today as well."

The emperor's gaze fell on Gu Zhao who was not far away.

"Your Majesty, long live the emperor."

When Gu Zhao knelt down, his voice trembled a little. Although his etiquette was very good, it still looked a little strange.

"Flat body."

The emperor glanced at Gu Zhao, asked her to get up, then looked at the empress dowager and said.

"What does your mother think of the wife of the Marquis Qin?"

When the Empress Dowager heard the Emperor's words, she said with a faint smile on her face.

"Mother, I think this child is pretty good."

Queen Zheng heard what the emperor said and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I think it's good too. My mother and I just gave some gifts to the wife of the Marquis Qin."

Gu Zhao stood there listening to them talking. Gu Zhao felt the emperor's gaze on her several times. It was the kind of scrutinizing and suspicious look. She kept her head down, pretending to know nothing.

"You all stand down."

The emperor ordered them to leave.

"Chen and concubine retire."

Gu Zhao also followed suit and bowed. After the concubines left, she followed them out.

Many concubines left in sedan chairs. When Gu Zhao arrived at the gate of Shoukang Palace, Concubine Duan had not left yet.

"The wife of the Marquis Qin."

Hearing Concubine Duan's voice, Gu Zhao raised his head and saluted Concubine Duan.

Gu Zhao did not address Duan Bin. Duan Bin looked at Gu Zhao for a long time. After seeing that Gu Zhao was a little shaky while performing the salute, Duan Bin asked Gu Zhao to stand up.

"When I first saw you, I felt close to you. Your sister is my sister's daughter-in-law, so we will be relatives in the future. I am Duan, and we can interact more often in the future."

"Madam Duan."

Gu Zhao did not respond to Duan Bin's words.

Seeing that Gu Zhao was silent, Duanpin did not say anything more. Now they were at the gate of Shoukang Palace. If there were too many people and if other concubines knew that she and Gu Zhao chatted a lot, there would be trouble again.

Concubine Duan walked towards the sedan chair. When she sat on it, she looked back and saw Gu Zhao standing there with his head down.

Concubine Duan snorted coldly and lowered the curtain.

Gu Zhao walked towards the sedan chair and arrived there soon.

"Please get into the sedan chair, wife of the Marquis Qin." Eunuch De was still standing here. When he saw Gu Zhao, he bowed to him.

Gu Zhao said with a smile.

"Thank you, Master De."

Gu Zhao took out a purse and handed it to Eunuch De.

There were ten taels of silver inside.

After taking the purse, Eunuch De smiled even more.

"Thank you, Madam Qin, for the reward."
