Chapter 1036 Creating Opportunities for Concubine Xian
Baoyu felt that Baozhu's words were reasonable, so he echoed: "Yes, the empress is such a good-tempered person. If she suddenly alienates the emperor, it must be that the emperor has done something wrong. Forget it, this is not something I can interfere with. I still have more to do.
Make some delicious food to make the queen happy."
Bao Zhu smiled and felt that it was still necessary to remind Bao Yu: "Qiu Shui is here to talk to you today, so don't be stupid and ignore it."
After saying that, she took the meal and left.
Baoyu was left standing there in shock, and it took a while before she received the message from Baozhu. After being reminded by Baozhu, she realized that Qiu Shui had indeed been tricking her before, and it was ridiculous that she didn't notice it at all.
Thanks to Baozhu's reminder, she remembered that Qiu Shui didn't come here just to accompany her.
This can only mean one thing. The people in the palace are very complicated, and their motives are not pure. Fortunately, Qiu Shui is from the Yangxin Palace. Even if he is trying to make excuses, he may be under the instructions of the emperor.
Qiu Shui came back empty-handed and did not bother to hang out in front of Xiao Ce.
She took some time off, found Zhang Jixiang, and asked her when she would be able to return to the imperial court to serve him.
"I don't dare to guess the emperor's thoughts. It's a good thing that you don't show your face in front of the emperor recently. At least nothing will go wrong." Zhang Jixiang comforted Qiu Shui.
"That's true. You have to be more careful when serving in front of the emperor. Don't let the emperor catch you where it hurts. Otherwise, you will be exiled like me and it will be hard for you." Qiu Shui did not ask any more questions and decided to follow the trend.
"It seems that if the emperor does not reconcile with the imperial concubine, we must be more careful when serving in front of the emperor. Did you go to Jinyang Palace today to find out any information?" Zhang Jixiang asked bluntly.
Qiu Shui smiled bitterly and said: "I asked Baoyu for information, but Baoyu didn't know anything about it. It's impossible for me to ask the imperial concubine. This time I feel that the breakthrough is not with the imperial concubine, but with the emperor."
If the emperor still has the same attitude as before, then the relationship with the imperial concubine will always be like this.
"With the emperor's temperament, how could he be so shameless as to seek peace with the imperial concubine? Moreover, the imperial concubine's words were so unpleasant, and the emperor has a strong self-esteem. How could the emperor take the initiative in this situation?"
Even if she really takes the initiative, it is unlikely that the imperial concubine's temperament will be promoted or demoted by the emperor, so she will fall into an endless cycle.
"The Emperor trusts you the most. You might as well persuade the Emperor. Maybe the Emperor will..."
Zhang Jixiang interrupted Qiu Shui: "Instead of letting the emperor lower his face and seek peace with the imperial concubine, it is better to bring the emperor and the concubine Xian together. The concubine Xian has a good temper and is the emperor's interpreter. The emperor is our top priority at all times. We
You can create opportunities for the Concubine Xian and the Emperor."
Qiu Shui laughed angrily when he heard this: "So you are just a grassroots, falling wherever the wind blows. I am not like you, who recognizes a master when he sees a concubine!"
Zhang Jixiang was so embarrassed by Qiu Shui that he said: "Am I wrong? The emperor is the king of Daqi, who doesn't support him? Only the imperial concubine is not on the right path, but is looking down on the emperor. This harem is also
There is not just one concubine, as long as the emperor is willing, the harem will be filled with gentle and caring flowers!"
Qiu Shui seemed to know Zhang Jixiang for the first time: "So that's what you think. In my opinion, there is only one mistress for me, and that is the imperial concubine. Apart from the imperial concubine, I cannot have any other concubines.
Loyalty. As for you, you are always different, which really makes me admire you."
She was so angry that she walked away.
Zhang Jixiang does not feel that he is wrong.
There is only one person he wants to be loyal to, and that is the emperor. Except for the emperor, no one else can be his true master.
Although he often admired the imperial concubine, it was her fault if she made the emperor unhappy.
In his view, the harem is not just the imperial concubine. In addition to the imperial concubine, other concubines also have a place on the stage. Even if there are not enough concubines in the harem, the emperor can still draft a selection, and there will always be someone who can replace the imperial concubine.
Zhang Jixiang is a man of action. He feels that the master cannot continue like this, and plans to use the virtuous concubine to divert the emperor's attention.
In the evening, Xiao Ce had just finished his work when he heard Zhang Jixiang say: "The Emperor has not been to Zhongcui Palace for several days. I wonder if Concubine Xian is feeling better. Does the Emperor want to go to Zhongcui Palace for dinner?"
Xiao Ce remembered that he hadn't seen Wu Xirou for a few days. He thought about it and felt that Zhang Jixiang's proposal was not a bad idea.
In this way, Xiao Ce drove to Zhongcui Palace.
In Zhongcui Palace, Wu Xirou was reading a book. She didn't expect Xiao Ce to come over suddenly. She stepped forward to say hello to Xiao Ce. Xiao Ce spared her courtesy and looked her up and said, "How are you?"
"If I get back to the emperor, everything is fine with me." Wu Xirou showed a gentle smile.
Seeing that she was in good spirits, Xiao Ce was very satisfied: "You are still young, so you can't let the root cause of the disease fall into your trap. I am relieved that the disease is cured."
Wu Xirou said playfully: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will take good care of myself. In order not to become a burden to the Emperor, I will definitely take good care of myself and not let the Emperor worry."
Looking at her playful look, Xiao Ce remembered that Qin Zhao was also like this when she was having sex. Wu Xirou was usually more steady and rarely playful.
"Who is the emperor thinking of when he looks at this concubine?" Wu Xirou approached Xiao Ce and asked.
Xiao Ce looked at the face in front of him and felt a little uncomfortable for a moment. He stepped away a little and then answered: "It's nothing."
Wu Xirou looked at Xiao Ce's expression carefully and understood one thing: "I understand, the emperor is thinking about Sister Qin."
Xiao Ce didn't answer, immersed in his own thoughts.
He could discuss things that happened in the court with the ministers, but he didn't know who to discuss with the harem matters, especially the conflicts between Qin and Zhao.
"The emperor doesn't have to keep everything in his heart, you might as well speak out. Although I am not smart, I can act as an audience, and maybe I can give the emperor some advice, provided that the emperor wants to speak out." Wu Xirou was not discouraged and encouraged.
Looking at Xiao Ce, I hope Xiao Ce can talk to her about his feelings.
Xiao Ce met Wu Xirou's gentle eyebrows. Even though he had no idea, he still told some things about Qin Zhao.
For example, Qin Zhao felt that he had nothing to say to him, and he didn't know what to do in the face of Qin Zhao's change.
After Wu Xirou listened quietly, she felt very complicated.
She couldn't understand why Qin Zhao would say such hurtful words to Xiao Ce. If it were her, she would be reluctant to say a harsh word to Xiao Ce.
"She took the initiative in the past. Even if I had a conflict with her, she would take the initiative to reconcile with me. This time she said she saw me but didn't know what to say..." Xiao Ce felt that it was nothing if he said it.
Unspeakable things.
