Chapter 1034: Gradually becoming colder
This time, not only Bao Zhu said nothing, but Bao Hong did not dare to say another word.
They have served Qin Zhao for a long time, and they know Qin Zhao's temper to some extent. If the other concubines in the harem all respect the emperor, the imperial concubine is very assertive. Even when facing the emperor, she will say whatever she wants.
The first priority of the imperial concubine is not to allow herself to be wronged, even if she offends the emperor.
With such a master, I don't know whether to feel proud or afraid.
Fortunately, even if the imperial concubine falls out of favor one day, she will still have her little highness with her. Perhaps this is the reason why the imperial concubine is so confident?
Bao Zhu was afraid that others would talk nonsense, so she simply let everyone else do other things, while she never left Qin Zhao's side to serve him.
Anyway, she figured it out, it didn't matter what other people thought, as long as the imperial concubine was not wronged.
Every time the emperor vented his anger with the empress, the empress finally took the initiative to make peace with the emperor. This time it was just the opposite, the empress broke up with the emperor instead, and she, a maid, also felt relieved.
Why would the emperor definitely cooperate when the emperor decided to reconcile? The empress also had tempers and her own ideas, and there were times when she didn’t want to cooperate with the emperor.
Anyway, the empress is used to being alone, and now she has to take care of the harem. The empress is very busy, so she doesn’t have so much time to think about messy things.
After thinking about this, Baozhu became more convinced that Qin Zhao had done the right thing. As long as Qin Zhao was happy, she, a close servant, would unconditionally support her master's decision.
Compared with the relaxed atmosphere of Jinyang Palace, the atmosphere of Yangxin Palace is much more tense.
First, Xiao Ce's status as an emperor made everyone nervous, and no one dared to say anything, including Zhang Jixiang and Qiu Shui.
The two stood in the same position as Baozhu, and of course they overheard the conversation between the two masters. It can only be said that there are still people in this world who are as courageous as the imperial concubine, who dare to say that they are romantically involved with the emperor, and have nothing to say.
.
At this time, both of them regretted that they shouldn't have been meddlesome, otherwise there wouldn't be this scene today.
Not only did the two masters fail to reconcile, but their relationship became even more tense. It was unclear when there would be a chance for reconciliation. Looking at the tough attitude of the imperial concubine, it seemed that she did not want to reconcile with the emperor at all.
The two looked at each other from time to time, and then took a moment to meet outside and discuss quietly how to handle the matter.
"It mainly depends on the attitude of the imperial concubine. In the past, the imperial concubine took the initiative, but now the imperial concubine's attitude is so tough that she is not even willing to talk to the emperor. What can we do?" Qiu Shui sighed.
Zhang Jixiang was also at a loss: "Are we just going to watch the emperor and the imperial concubine getting further and further apart?"
"What else? Originally, the two of us could maintain the status quo today without getting involved. The reason why we are causing such an ugly commotion is because we are so troubled." Qiu Shui felt uncomfortable.
Their intentions were good, but the result was like this. This time, the emperor and the imperial concubine may not be able to reconcile for a long time.
"I just don't understand why the imperial concubine is holding back. The emperor has obviously taken the initiative to show his kindness, so why can't the imperial concubine just take advantage of the situation? There are many masters in this harem. If the imperial concubine pushes the emperor away, she is not afraid of the emperor's empathy.
Don’t fall in love?” Zhang Jixiang complained.
Qiu Shui sneered when he heard this: "If the imperial concubine cared, she would not be so cold to the emperor. The emperor does have three palaces and six courtyards, but has the empress ever cared about it? Perhaps it is because there are too many women in the emperor's harem that the imperial concubine gradually becomes cold-hearted.
Bar."
"There are so many women in the emperor who have never ordered you to treat the imperial concubine wholeheartedly. Isn't this enough? If the imperial concubine is not satisfied like this, then she is too heartless." Of course, the person Zhang Jixiang was protecting in his words was Xiao.
Policy.
"The emperor has never given orders to other concubines, but has the empress suffered less frame-ups? You only see the beauty on the surface of the imperial concubine, but how many frame-ups and hardships has the imperial concubine experienced along the way? The emperor always cares about what happens to the imperial concubine.
I won’t talk about it, but when the imperial concubine encounters something, she will solve it alone..."
"You said that the empress can solve the problem alone, that's because the empress has never given the emperor the right to know." Zhang Jixiang said bluntly.
"The Emperor is usually so busy. When the Emperor is in trouble, the Emperor has no time..."
Qiu Shui's words suddenly stopped, because at some point, Xiao Ce was standing not far away, and he didn't know how much he heard.
Zhang Jixiang also belatedly discovered that Xiao Ce was coming. He glared at Qiu Shui, blaming her.
Qiu Shui stared back, feeling that it was Zhang Jixiang who made her speak indiscriminately, and she was also bumped into by the emperor. Now she was in big trouble.
"Qiu Shui, do you think it's my fault?" Xiao Ce's voice sounded from the front.
Qiu Shui's face turned pale, and after a while she thought about it and said: "I just think that the imperial concubine is not wrong. It has not been easy for the imperial concubine in the harem these years. Even if the imperial concubine has stood in a high enough position, this cannot erase the achievements of the imperial concubine.
years of hard work.”
"Then do you think the relationship between the imperial concubine and me is indeed established?" Xiao Ce asked again quietly.
"I don't know, this slave." Qiu Shui said with sincerity and fear.
The question of whether the relationship between the emperor and the imperial concubine is genuine has to be asked by the two parties involved. How can she, a maid, have any room to comment?
"Jixiang, tell me!" Xiao Ce looked at Zhang Jixiang.
Zhang Jixiang quickly knelt down and said, "I don't know."
You have to ask the imperial concubine.
Today, the imperial concubine left after seeing the emperor and was not willing to talk to the emperor. This shows that the imperial concubine is unwilling to deal with the emperor.
It's just that he couldn't tell such a big truth, otherwise the emperor would pick off his head in anger. What would he do?
Xiao Ce looked at the top of Zhang Jixiang's head coldly, making Zhang Jixiang break into a cold sweat.
It wasn't until Xiao Ce entered the room that Zhang Jixiang got up tremblingly.
Seeing his cowardice, Qiu Shui shook his head and said, "Why are you so cowardly?"
"When the emperor is staring at you, he wants to see how courageous you are!" Zhang Jixiang didn't want to talk to Qiu Shui anymore: "Stay away from me, I don't want to be killed by you."
It was because Qiu Shui's voice was too loud just now that the emperor came out to see what was going on.
Qiushui gave him a fake smile: "I don't want to be killed by you either. From now on, don't ask me to do anything, just do useless things."
After saying that, she went to the imperial court to wait on him.
However, the emperor seemed to be dealing with political affairs, but he was actually distracted. If nothing unexpected happened, the person who distracted the emperor was the imperial concubine.
In the past, when the emperor and his concubine had quarrels, they would soon reconcile.
But this time the problem lies with the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine is unwilling to take the initiative anymore, or even talk to the emperor. The emperor is also taciturn. How easy is it for the two to reconcile?
