Qui Gon hard in denial, giving a confused and full of mixed feelings Vader secret force lessons. Palpatine, knowing his apprentice is fragile in that area, lets it slide when he notices, not wanting to deal with a whiney Anakin again after calming him down about the Padme thing.
Which was also part of the reason he didn’t say anything about Vader’s many apprentices; partially because he hoped Vader would train his own replacement, partially because if Vader didn’t think he had to keep it secret, he’d complain Palpatine’s ear off about it like he used to do as a Jedi. It was fun while he was manipulating him towards the dark side but just annoying now that the honeymoon phase was over.
