those that the Emperor had eaten the most in her memory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In addition, she ordered some light dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She heard that the Emperor ate such dishes at Lady

instructed the interior to be meticulously arranged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Incense for accounts, bedsheets and quilts neatly prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every detail was attended to with great care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noble Concubine Shih silently resolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, she must reclaim cousin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The humiliation suffered at that harlot Lady Xia’s hands would be returned tenfold someday soon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d let that harlot taste the fall from grace too!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No rush, she’ll take her time, match by match!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The meal was set.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After carefully dressing up, Zhao Junyao indeed came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Emperor!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She busied

a casual glance at her, his eyes unfathomably indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noble Concubine Shih didn’t mind and simply smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Emperor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, she rose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Serving tea and water, setting meals, and arranging dishes, she was cautious and displayed great obedience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Junyao smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inwardly, he couldn’t help but reflect:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We are cousins, grew up together, not without affection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If only you had been quiet and obedient like this earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wouldn’t have ignored you; amidst the harem, would it hurt to favor you more?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sadly... you let me down too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crucially, I met her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’When one meets someone like a rainbow, only then does he realize!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once your heart is set on someone, it cannot accommodate anyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is pure instinct, not desire, nor a fleeting whim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He likes her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liking seeing her smile, seeing her play, seeing her get angry, seeing her eat, seeing her lazing around... seeing her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, whatever she does, he likes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could she be so lovely, make him want to cherish her so?:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply thinking thus, tenderness and affection overflow uncontrollably from his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overflowing,
