A Shame

Before Zhou Siming could answer, there was a sound of ritual music from outside. The Emperor had arrived. Zhou Siming breathed a sigh of relief.

He looked at Qin Miaomiao who was on the side, then withdrew his gaze and went out to greet the royal family members.

The Emperor and the Queen arrived at the Duke Qin Mansion together, and the Zhou family and all the guests saluted them.

The Queen stepped forward and held Old Madam Zhou's hand, "Mother."

Old Madam Zhou couldn't see her daughter often, so now her eyes were red. "Come on in, the dishes are already served. You came all the way here from the imperial palace. Don't get a cold."

The Emperor and the Queen sat on the table of honor and Old Madam Zhou sat beside the Queen. Most of the people present were envious of Old Madam Zhou for having a queen as her daughter.

There were very few people in the world whose birthday the Emperor would personally congratulate.
