That day, after Zhou Ruo returned from Yinghua Palace, the emperor sent many rewards.

Zhou Ruo looked at the dazzling array of jewelry displayed in the yard and didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a moment.

His Majesty the Emperor is really attentive and knows that she likes power and money, so every reward is real gold, silver and precious jewelry, without exception.

However, she has collected enough gold and silver treasures. Now when she looks at these things, she no longer has the same affection as before.

Zhou Ruo lost interest and threw back a string of extremely fine pearls in his hand, and said to the people waiting next to him: "Carry it down and put it away carefully after checking."

The man looked at Zhou Ruo cautiously and asked softly: "Concubine Shun, don't you want to take another look?"

In the past, she would stay by her side to watch His Majesty's rewards many times. In the eyes of these people below, they thought she loved His Majesty the Emperor so much that she couldn't put it down for some rewards. Little did they know that she just simply loved money.

Zhou Ruo showed no interest and said calmly: "There's nothing interesting to see, just take it back."

The man didn't dare to say anything, and immediately carefully checked the number of these things and put them into Zhou Ruo's small warehouse.

Cuiping next to her looked at Zhou Ruo's face and said softly: "Empress, His Majesty still has you in his heart, and you are still pregnant with his child."

This child is of great significance. He is the first legitimate child after Mo Xiao ascended the throne.

Zhou Ruo said calmly: "What's wrong with the child? It's not like your Majesty doesn't have children."

Cuiping said subconsciously: "Then how can it be the same? Although that little highness is favored, he is still a child with an unknown biological mother and an unknown origin. He is not like the one in the mother's belly."

Zhou Ruo's expression changed, he reached out and covered Cuiping's mouth, and said sternly: "Are you crazy? Do you know that trouble comes from your mouth?"

Cuiping didn't think much when she said it, but now she realized it was inappropriate when she said it, and her face turned pale in an instant.

Zhou Ruo took a deep breath and lowered his voice: "Be careful with your words and deeds from now on. Don't say everything. If you don't control your mouth, if you offend someone you can't afford to offend in the future, even the gods can't save you."

"Also, don't say such words again."

That little Highness... is not someone whose biological mother is unknown. His biological mother is someone whom His Majesty holds dear to his heart.

If Cuiping's words spread even a little bit, her life would be in jeopardy.

Cuiping nodded quickly and lowered her voice and said, "Yes, I remember. I will never talk nonsense again."

Zhou Ruo glanced at her, sighed, and said to Cuiping: "I know you are complaining for me and wish me well... But with my status, it is very rare to be in the position I am today. Satisfied."

She didn't dare to think about other things, for fear that she wouldn't have the life to endure them.

Cuiping pursed her lips and said nothing more.

Her concubine Shun was good at everything, but her birth was a dark history that she could never wash away in her life.

She was born as a concubine, and even if she became a concubine, she was always criticized by some people behind her back.

Fortunately, Zhou Ruo didn't pay too much attention to these. The gossip she heard when she was young was much more poisonous than these. If she had paid attention to it, she might not be alive now.

Zhou Ruo walked into the room and asked calmly: "Have the regulations from the Ministry of Rites come out? When will the beautiful ladies enter the palace?"

She will always complete the tasks assigned by His Majesty.
