Xiao Ce frowned slightly and said impatiently: "I thought you were a woman who understands the general situation and knows the priorities of things."
In his memory, Wu Xirou always guarded him silently and never made excessive demands. Just now he had made it clear, but she was still willful. What was the reason for this?
Wu Xirou met Xiao Ce's cold eyes, and suddenly a cold feeling hit her heart.
This was Xiao Ce in the previous life. She thought that she was different from others in Xiao Ce's previous life. She was a special existence. Qin Zhao was in the cold palace at that time, and she even appeared earlier than Qin Zhao.
She clearly had the right time, location and harmony this time, so why was Xiao Ce still so cold to her?
She couldn't figure out what went wrong. She should have occupied the most special place in Xiao Ce's heart this time.
The moment she walked out of the Yangxin Hall, the coldness in Wu Xirou's heart still couldn't go away.
Liuli noticed that she was absent-minded and comforted her: "My Lady, don't be anxious. I believe that your Majesty will be able to sleep with you soon."
When the empress goes to bed, everything will be different.
By the way, she can ask Zhang Jixiang for help and ask Zhang Jixiang to facilitate this matter. Empress Xian Fei once helped Zhang Jixiang. As long as Zhang Jixiang has a little gratitude, he should help the empress sleep with her.
After Wu Xirou left Yangxin Hall, Xiao Ce took a bath and went to bed.
Zhang Jixiang looked at the hourglass and found that it was exactly Hai hour.
To be precise, since the emperor was injured by the imperial concubine and woke up, the emperor has gone to bed on time every night.
If there is no accident, the emperor will get up at the beginning of Yinshi the next day. The quarter of Yinshi is the time for the emperor to practice martial arts, and the third quarter of Yinshi is the time for the emperor to have breakfast. By Mao, the emperor has appeared in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, ready to attend the morning court.
The emperor is such a self-disciplined person. He has a time plan and will not change it because of anyone or anything.
He didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
It was still dark the next day, and just as Zhang Jixiang expected, Xiao Ce got up when he arrived at Yin. After washing, he went to the training room to practice martial arts, and then had breakfast.
By Mao hour, Xiao Ce had appeared in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and everything was proceeding according to his time plan.
For Zhang Jixiang, it was no surprise at all.
After the court, Zhang Jixiang was called by Queen Mother Guo for questioning. Zhang Jixiang answered honestly and told the truth about Xiao Ce's situation.
After hearing this, Queen Mother Guo was furious: "Don't you know how to persuade the emperor to go to the harem for a walk?!"
Wu Xirou is also useless. She had the opportunity to show her face in front of Xiao Ce, but she didn't have the chance to sleep with him. If Wu Xirou had half the ability of Qin Zhao, she wouldn't have been unable to sleep with him until now.
"This...servant can't persuade me." Zhang Jixiang was frightened.
A light flashed in the eyes of Queen Mother Guo, and she said in a deep voice: "Since the Concubine Xian cannot seize the opportunity to sleep with her, then you should find a way to lure the Emperor to Jinyang Palace!"
Since Xiao Ce is not interested in Qin Zhao at all now, he can create a chance for Cui Jieyu to meet the saint. Jinyang Palace is a good place to go.
Zhang Jixiang did not expect that Queen Mother Guo would issue such an order.
He is just a slave, how can he influence the emperor's thoughts? Besides, even if he persuades him, will the emperor listen to him with his temperament?
That night, Wu Xirou came to Jinyang Palace again, and her excuse was still to play chess with Xiao Ce.
Xiao Ce did have some interest in playing chess. Wu Xirou made suggestions, and he played a game with Wu Xirou. The game only took two and a quarter of hours, and Xiao Ce won the game cleanly, which Wu Xirou had not expected.
Somehow, Xiao Ce's chess skills seemed to be better than yesterday, otherwise how could she lose so quickly?
After Xiao Ce won this game, he issued an eviction order just like yesterday.
Wu Xirou did not dare to propose another game like yesterday, so she had to leave the Yangxin Palace silently.
Liuli winked at Zhang Jixiang, but Zhang Jixiang pretended not to see him, which made Liuli's teeth itch with hatred.
After Wu Xirou's master and servant left, Zhang Jixiang suddenly thought of a way to lure Xiao Ce to Jinyang Palace. He seemed to say casually: "When it comes to chess skills, compared with the noble concubine, the Concubine Xian is still a little behind."
He was only responsible for luring the emperor to Jinyang Palace. As for whether the emperor went to the west side hall, the east side hall or the main hall of Jinyang Palace, it was not within his control.
Xiao Ce looked at Zhang Jixiang after hearing this.
In his memory, Qin Zhao didn't know how to play chess. What stupid thing did Zhang Jixiang say?
"Really, even the emperor may not be a match for the imperial concubine in terms of chess skills." Under Xiao Ce's close gaze, Zhang Jixiang said bravely: "If the emperor doesn't believe it, you can have a game of chess with the imperial concubine.
"
"Did the imperial concubine give you any benefits?" A cold edge bloomed in Xiao Ce's eyes.
Zhang Jixiang was so frightened that he fell to his knees: "I was wronged. Last time, my head was broken by the imperial concubine. How could I be bribed by the imperial concubine? Besides, the imperial concubine's temperament would not allow me to do such a thing."
Xiao Ce looked down at Zhang Jixiang suspiciously. Zhang Jixiang looked frank and did not look like he was lying: "Is the imperial concubine's chess skills really that good?"
"In the past, the emperor rarely won when playing chess with his concubine." Zhang Jixiang told the truth.
Xiao Ce took a look at the hourglass. Logically speaking, it was not appropriate to leave the Yangxin Palace at this hour, but he still decided to go to the Jinyang Palace.
"Show it in Jinyang Palace." Xiao Ce gave an order in a low voice.
Zhang Jixiang was overjoyed when he heard this. At least he had completed the task assigned by the Queen Mother. What happened next was beyond his control.
In this way, the imperial team arrived outside Jinyang Palace.
Zhang Jixiang ran into Jinyang Palace early in the morning and announced that Xiao Ce, the emperor, had arrived.
Everyone in Jinyang Palace received the news and all went out to pick him up.
Qin Zhao was playing games with Xiao Atom and was too lazy to move when he heard the news that Xiao Ce had arrived at Jinyang Palace.
"Aren't you going to pick him up?" Bao Zhu was a little worried when he saw Qin Zhao not moving.
"The emperor doesn't like to see my face. It would be better for me not to touch the emperor's frieze." Qin Zhao said and picked up the little Atom: "Son, I will give you a bath for my mother."
This was just in case that mean Xiao Ce saw her not picking up the driver and causing trouble for her.
"Baozhu, you go and pick him up. I can give Little Atom a bath alone." Qin Zhao did not dare to gamble with Baozhu's life, so he ordered Baozhu again.
"Yes, empress." Baozhu did not dare to neglect and immediately took the others who were waiting in the main hall to pick him up.
Xiao Ce looked at the people who were picking up the driver and looked around. He didn't see Qin Zhao, so he was a little surprised: "Why doesn't the noble concubine come to pick up the driver?"
"When I get back to the emperor, the imperial concubine is taking a bath for the young highness and can't get out of the bath." The truth that Baozhu dared not tell was that the imperial concubine did not want to come to pick him up.
Xiao Ce thought of Xiao Atom's irritating temperament, and felt that Qin Zhao's "inability to get away" was justified.
Without thinking any more, he went to the main hall.
