Zhulan got up a bit late in the morning; Zhou Shuren had already washed up and changed, and when Zhulan woke up, she saw Zhou Shuren sitting in the chair, watching her. Zhulan felt spirited and touched her face, "Is there something wrong with me?"
Zhou Shuren looked carefully at Zhulan; her complexion was rosy, and her eyes were full of life. He also remembered how well she had slept the night before and withdrew his concern, "Not at all, I just think you've been looking particularly healthy lately."
Zhulan smiled, "I feel that way too, probably because I've been resting well recently."
Zhou Shuren had planned to take Zhulan for a walk nearby after he finished with the dikes, but now with Shi Qing added to the mix, he had to think hard about how to please the Emperor. He touched his hair involuntarily; he felt he had lost a significant amount of hair over the past two years.
