Chapter 1037: Both sides
"It may be that the Emperor and Sister Qin have been venting their anger for a long time, which makes Sister Qin feel resentful. Another possibility is that Sister Qin is tired. The Emperor might as well let Sister Qin calm down before going to find Sister Qin." Wu Xirou frowned.
Looking at Xiao Ce tenderly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. Sister Qin is a sensible woman, and she will definitely not be willing to stay angry with the Emperor for too long."
Xiao Ce felt that Wu Xirou's words were reasonable, so he exposed the matter.
After dinner, Xiao Ce left Zhongcui Palace.
Wu Xirou wanted to keep Xiao Ce overnight, but she was too thin-skinned to do so, so she could only watch Xiao Ce walk away.
She felt that it was good to maintain the status quo. At least when Xiao Ce had nowhere to go, he would still think of coming to her palace to sit for a while. Isn't this good?
Liuli, on the other hand, was extremely anxious, "Why didn't your Majesty stay with the Emperor just now?"
"How do you want to keep me?" Wu Xirou was also a little annoyed. She couldn't speak, and she was also afraid that she wouldn't be able to keep Xiao Ce, so she might as well let nature take its course.
Fangruo was also anxious: "Next time there is a chance, I must stay with the emperor. I must take advantage of the conflict between the imperial concubine and the emperor and seize any opportunity to sleep with him."
Concubine Wu passed away, and Concubine Xian could only rely on herself from now on.
The most urgent thing is to have the opportunity to sleep with him, so that he can have the chance to conceive the emperor's heir.
If you can be as lucky as the imperial concubine and have a son, it will be a gift from God.
Concubine Xian didn't know how to seize such an excellent opportunity like today, and they were extremely anxious.
"Going to bed? Easier said than done." Wu Xirou sighed softly. She was not as optimistic as Fangruo and Liuli.
Xiao Ce was a very principled man. Even when he was having conflicts with Qin Zhao, he would never order her to sleep with him just to anger Qin Zhao.
What if she had stayed with Xiao Ce just now? Xiao Ce could only stay overnight in Zhongcui Palace at most, and it was impossible to order her to sleep with her. Fangruo and Liuli thought that as long as Xiao Ce stayed, she would have the opportunity to sleep with him.
, is too naive.
"Your Majesty is as beautiful as a flower, and she is considerate. The Emperor also likes your Majesty, so it is only a matter of course for you to sleep with her. Your Majesty, don't take advantage of yourself. This harem is really looking for someone to compete with the Imperial Concubine, and it must be your Majesty."
Fangruo is outspoken and quick-hearted. If you have anything to say, you will speak it outright.
Liuli stood aside, not daring to say this. She had been disliked by the Concubine Xian more than once because of Qin Zhao.
It was Fangruo who said this today, not her.
"You are thinking too much." Wu Xirou said seriously: "Sister Qin's abilities are far more than what you think. When I was still worried about not having the chance to sleep with you, Sister Qin was already pushing the emperor away. This is Sister Qin.
The confidence is also the gap between me and Sister Qin. What can I do to compare with Sister Qin?"
It's funny that Fangruo and Liuli didn't see the current situation clearly, thinking that Qin Zhao would have a chance to rise to power if she had an quarrel with Xiao Ce.
Liuli and Fangruo looked at each other and fell silent at the same time.
Maybe the Concubine Xian is right, but if you don't fight for it, how do you know that the Concubine Xian can't beat the Concubine?
After that, they didn't dare to mention this topic again, and they all felt a little heavy.
On the other side, Zhang Jixiang also had the same questions as Liuli and the others. He simply asked: "It is rare for the emperor to come to Zhongcui Palace. Why don't you stay in Zhongcui Palace for the night and accompany the Concubine Xian?"
Xiao Ce slowed down and looked at Zhang Jixiang with a strange look in his eyes.
"Did I ask the wrong question?" Zhang Jixiang didn't know why.
Now that I have come to Zhongcui Palace, I must of course cultivate a relationship with the Concubine Xian. I cannot hang myself on the tree of the Concubine Xian.
Xiao Ce curled his lips indifferently: "Why do you think I should stay overnight in Zhongcui Palace when I come to Zhongcui Palace?"
"Because the Emperor and Concubine Xian are in good terms, and Concubine Xian can also relieve the Emperor's worries. In addition, Concubine Xian is infatuated with the Emperor, so this slave thinks so." Zhang Jixiang thought his idea was normal.
The Emperor and Concubine Xian had so much in common, and Concubine Xian treated the Emperor so well. He couldn't understand why the Emperor never asked Concubine Xian to sleep with him.
"I thought you were looking for Zhaozhao." Xiao Ce said after a long while.
Not wanting Zhang Jixiang to be so fickle, just before that he had sent Qiu Shui to Jinyang Palace to inquire about the news, and in the blink of an eye he and Concubine Xian were paired up.
"A slave is only loyal to the emperor. Whoever treats the emperor well will be followed by that person. The imperial concubine does not cherish the emperor, so why should the slave be loyal to the imperial concubine?!" Zhang Jixiang felt that the most indispensable thing in the harem was women, which made the emperor sad.
Concubine Qin is naturally not the one he wants to be loyal to.
"What kind of fallacy are you talking about?!" Xiao Ce couldn't believe that he would hear such words from Zhang Jixiang's mouth.
"My slave is still saying the same thing, the only one who owes allegiance is the emperor, not anyone else." Zhang Jixiang was stubborn.
Little did he know that Qin Zhao had just left Jinyang Palace and was pulled out by Qiu Shui.
Qiu Shui asked her to go out for a walk. She was very enthusiastic, and then she walked near Zhongcui Palace.
When she heard the conversation between Xiao Ce's master and servant, she finally understood why Qiu Shui was so enthusiastic. Qiu Shui just wanted to create a chance for her and Xiao Ce to meet by chance.
But before they met him by chance, she heard these truths from Zhang Jixiang.
I have to say that Zhang Jixiang's remarks shocked her.
She thought that after such a long time, Zhang Jixiang was still loyal to her. If she hadn't heard Zhang Jixiang's remarks today, she would not have known that Zhang Jixiang's loyalty to her was actually her self-righteousness.
"Why don't you leave?" Qiu Shui was a little anxious when he saw Qin Zhao stopped and refused to leave.
Qin Zhao turned to Qiu Shui: "What do you think of Zhang Jixiang?"
"Just like that." Qiu Shui didn't know why Qin Zhao suddenly asked this question. She just hoped that the empress could meet the emperor by chance, so that the emperor and the empress would have a chance to reconcile.
"What's that like?" Qin Zhao asked.
"I can't tell." Qiu Shui didn't know how to answer.
"Then is he loyal to me?" Qin Zhao suddenly asked.
This confused Qiu Shui.
Zhang Jixiang is loyal to the emperor, but the attitude of the concubines in the harem is inconsistent. In short, Zhang Jixiang treats the concubine which the emperor values more. Even for a person like the imperial concubine, Zhang Jixiang is not necessarily very loyal.
Zhang Jixiang repeatedly encouraged the emperor to go to Zhongcui Palace to find out what happened.
But can she tell these truths to the imperial concubine? If the imperial concubine knew it, wouldn't she be heartbroken?
Just when she was hesitant, she heard the imperial concubine say: "According to my speculation, Zhang Jixiang can only be loyal to the emperor. He is very cunning. Which concubine in the harem is valued by the emperor, Zhang Jixiang will be loyal to."
, Such people are the most unreliable."
