Xiao Ce's eyes flashed slightly when he saw Qin Zhao's sleepy look, and he suddenly changed his mind: "My beloved concubine, follow me to the practice room."
Qin Zhao was about to yawn, but was stunned when he heard this.
She just wanted to go back to Jinyang Palace to catch up on her sleep, so why did she follow Xiao Ce to the practice room and waste precious sleep time?
But when the emperor has spoken, can she say "no"?
"Yes, Your Majesty." Qin Zhao couldn't help but yawned again.
When Zhang Jixiang saw this scene, he couldn't figure out what was going on. Just before today, the emperor didn't like the imperial concubine, so why could he suddenly be inseparable from the imperial concubine?
The practice room is the emperor's private place and no ordinary people can enter it. However, the emperor asked the imperial concubine to follow him there. This is strange no matter how you look at it.
Zhang Jixiang couldn't figure out the reason and quickly followed him.
When he arrived at the practice room, Qin Zhao immediately found a comfortable chair.
She just sat down when she heard Xiao Ce ask: "Is this how my beloved concubine serves me?!"
If he pointed out something, he glanced in the direction where the chamberlain and maids were.
Qin Zhao then remembered that there were outsiders here, so he decided to continue the show.
She had no choice but to get up and stand aside, waiting for orders at any time, but she had never tried to get up so early before. She usually slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up, and she was very sleepy now.
She yawned again and again, feeling like she could fall asleep just standing here.
Zhang Jixiang watched clearly from the sidelines.
I saw Qin Zhao yawning repeatedly and unable to close his mouth, but the emperor was in high spirits and had an obvious smile on his lips.
He suddenly wanted to understand something. It turned out that it was the imperial concubine who pleased the emperor.
Qin Zhao herself didn't know Xiao Ce's bad taste. She yawned nonstop and just wanted to find a place to sleep for a while. However, Xiao Ce was always acting like this. While she was sleepy, she had to pour tea and water. She even suspected that Xiao Ce was
He was deliberately torturing her.
After Xiao Ce finished practicing the sword, she thought she was finally free. Unexpectedly, Xiao Ce asked her to have breakfast with him again.
"I don't want to have breakfast yet," Qin Zhao said with a bitter face.
She just wanted to find a bed to lie down for a while, she was really sleepy.
Xiao Ce walked slowly to Qin Zhao and held her wrist: "My beloved, stay with me for a while longer."
Qin Zhao looked at Xiao Ce's big palm on his wrist, then looked at Xiao Ce's focused eyebrows, and remembered that he was still playing tricks with Xiao Ce.
"I, my concubine, will obey the emperor's will." Qin Zhao felt that he should cooperate well.
It's rare for Xiao Ce to be so dedicated in his acting, and since it's to deal with the people behind the scenes, there's no reason for her to be so careless.
"I made my beloved concubine too tired last night." Xiao Ce's gentle voice sounded in Qin Zhao's ears.
Qin Zhao couldn't help but shudder when he heard this voice that was so gentle and almost numb.
Xiao Ce's plays turned out to be so good. If he were not an emperor, he would probably have a future as an actor.
In this way, Qin Zhao followed Xiao Ce to have breakfast.
During the meal, Qin Zhao stopped yawning. After all, he only had to stay up for a while to catch up on his sleep. Unlike Xiao Ce, who had to go to court later.
Compared with Xiao Ce's series of restrained lives, she is already too happy.
She was busy feeding Xiao Ce and was very attentive.
Xiao Ce felt bored when he saw Qin Zhao smiling, which was so different from when he was in the practice room. He still preferred to see Qin Zhao's stupid look when he clearly wanted to sleep but was still struggling to hold on.
Qin Zhao didn't know Xiao Ce's bad taste. She happily finished her breakfast. Before sending Xiao Ce to the morning court, she suddenly stood up on her tiptoes and gave Xiao Ce a bite on the face.
Xiao Ce, who was unprepared, did not expect that Qin Zhao would suddenly attack him. He was petrified for a moment, the tips of his ears felt a little hot, and then he walked away with a straight face without looking back.
Zhang Jixiang carefully observed his words and expressions, and looked at his master's expression from time to time. Apart from his confusion at the beginning, he really couldn't tell whether Long Live Master was angry or not.
After all, the imperial concubine was so bold that she dared to belittle the emperor in public. No other woman would have such courage.
On the way to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Xiao Ce thought more than once of the scene when Qin Zhao kissed him, and there was still the soft touch left by that woman on his face.
He didn't know if all women's lips were as soft as hers, or if it was just hers. In the past, he would have felt dirty, but now he felt it was somewhat useful.
During the morning session, when Xiao Ce saw Zhao Yu's face, he immediately poured a basin of cold water down, which chilled Xiao Ce's heart.
He almost forgot that Qin Zhao had been married before, and her ex-husband was an official in the court. He could see Zhao Yu's face as soon as he went to court.
Zhao Yu was also very uneasy. There was a lot of rumors about Qin Zhao's disconnection with him. His grandfather even scolded him severely last night and told him not to come to court this morning.
But he felt that during this extraordinary period, he had to go to court early, otherwise he would be telling the world that he had a guilty conscience.
It was precisely because of the openness between him and Qin Zhao that he came to the morning court.
When Xiao Ce's eyes were fixed on his face, his heart felt cold. Fortunately, Xiao Ce didn't say anything, he just stared at him for a while and then started to discuss the matter.
He breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had passed this level.
After Qin Zhao went to court with Xiao Ce, he was sent back to Jinyang Palace by the attendants of Yangxin Palace.
She was in a good mood and began to catch up on her sleep when she returned to Jinyang Palace.
As if he knew that she needed to catch up on her sleep, as soon as she woke up, Zhang Jixiang ordered someone to carry the reward into Jinyang Palace.
Qin Zhao is not very interested in rewards, but these are valuable things and she doesn't want them too much.
When she saw Zhang Jixiang, she expressed her confusion: "Do you know why the emperor doesn't let Qiu Shui be on duty in front of the emperor?"
"It seems that last time Qiu Shui spoke for the concubine, the emperor was transferred away from the imperial court. Later, I mentioned that Qiu Shui should come back to serve, but the emperor was unwilling." Zhang Jixiang answered truthfully.
"So that's it." Qin Zhao also specially gave Zhang Jixiang a reward, and Zhang Jixiang thanked him and left.
Regarding the fact that Qin Zhao was sleeping with him, everyone except Qin Zhao and Xiao Ce thought it was true, and the news spread throughout the harem.
When Wu Baolin heard the good news, he came to Jinyang Palace with Li Yunu, Xu Cairen and Sun Yunu to congratulate Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao just smiled: "Originally, someone threw dirty water on me in order to ruin my reputation and keep the emperor away from me. Who knows that it actually contributed to my sleeping in the palace? Speaking of which, I want to
Thank you to that person. Without that person to add fuel to the flames, I would not have regained my favor so quickly."
Her words were naturally meant for Xu Cairen.
Although she still doesn’t know who the master behind Xu Cairen is, Xu Cairen and that person are in the same group. This group of people tried their best to plot against her, but this time they kicked the iron plate. You can know that their mood will not be the same.
Very good.
Xu Cairen's expression didn't look strange and he didn't answer.
