Manbao poked her head out to take a look; it was a jade hairpin, smooth and lustrous, with one noticeably thicker, clearly designed for a man.

He intentionally distanced his connections with Zhou Man; at the beginning of the year, he was eager to announce to the world that Zhou Man belonged to the East Palace.
When she came and went, people from the East Palace escorted her. Every visit to the palace brought rewards, and occasionally, when she didn't visit, if the Crown Princess saw some beautiful flowers, she would have some sent to her.
Her favor was quite apparent.
