"I will look at my beloved concubine's brand tonight." Xiao Ce quickly made his decision.
Qin Zhao didn't expect Xiao Ce's thinking to be so fast.
One moment, Xiao Ce was discussing Xiao Atom's character traits with her, and the next moment, he actually wanted to flip her sign in front of her. So, should she thank him?
For a moment, Qin Zhao was a little embarrassed.
"I turned over my concubine's sign, and this is how my concubine reacted?" Xiao Ce expressed confusion when he saw Qin Zhao didn't move.
Shouldn't she be grateful and grateful?
There are many women in this harem who want to be copied by him. He doesn't mind that she was Zhao Yu's first wife and is willing to copy her. She should be grateful and shed tears.
"The emperor is a busy man, and there is no need to act with his concubines all the time. The drama he performed that night was enough to slap the person behind the scenes in the face." Qin Zhao was silent for a moment, and decided to tell the truth.
Xiao Ce didn't expect her to answer like this.
It was really just a superficial effort for him to copy her brand. He just felt that he had done some good work in giving birth to the little atom and should give her enough dignity.
But he didn't expect that this woman would actually think that he was still making superficial efforts to deal with what happened last time.
"That's all." Xiao Ce didn't say any more and decided to go back to Yangxin Hall.
He glanced at the little Atom who was playing with him, and suddenly stepped forward to hug the child.
The little guy didn't seem to expect that he would suddenly take action, and looked at him stupidly, looking amused.
"You are allowed to sleep with my father tonight." Xiao Ce looked at the child's pink cheeks and kissed the child on the face out of nowhere.
Only then did Xiao Atom realize that he could not sleep with Qin Zhao tonight, but would sleep with his boring father. He stretched out his little hand towards Qin Zhao: "I want my mother..."
He doesn't want to sleep with his father. His body is tied up hard, man!
Qin Zhao wanted to reach out and hug the child back, but when she remembered that it was Xiao Ce, she restrained her hands and did not step forward to snatch him.
"Little Atom, you sleep with your father tonight. You must be obedient and don't make any noise. Your father will attend court tomorrow, do you understand?" Qin Zhao said seriously.
Xiao Atom was still struggling, but when he heard what Qin Zhao said, he had no choice but to retreat into Xiao Ce's arms and decided to accept his fate.
At this moment, Xiao Ce had to admit that the child was indeed sensible and Qin Zhao could indeed teach the child.
He carried Xiao Atom and left the dormitory. Qin Zhao was reluctant to leave Xiao Atom and followed him out.
After walking out of the eaves, Xiao Ce looked back and saw Qin Zhao standing in front of the door curtain. The afterglow of the setting sun reflected on her face, making her eyebrows particularly gentle and beautiful.
Somehow, his heart moved slightly.
He has never enjoyed maternal love and has never had expectations for Queen Mother Guo, but his children have a very good mother.
Xiao Ce carried Xiao Atom and walked away, and Xiao Atom waved to Qin Zhao from time to time.
Qin Zhao was relieved but also a little disappointed. She didn't go back indoors until she watched Xiao Ce and his son go away.
"Your Highness just went to the Yangxin Hall to stay for one night, and your Majesty couldn't bear to part with it?" Bao Zhu joked upon seeing this.
She thought this was a good thing.
Although the empress and the emperor are no longer as loving as before, there is always an unbreakable bond between the two masters with the bridge of Your Highness.
"I just couldn't bear to part with him." What Qin Zhao didn't say was that she almost went to the Nourishing Heart Hall just now.
But the child will always grow up, and she cannot stay with her child all the time, especially with a special status like Xiao Atom.
Cui Jieyu and Anya had been waiting outside early in the morning. When they saw Xiao Ce finally coming out of the main hall, they waited outside.
It's just that Xiao Ce didn't look directly at them when he passed by them, and just walked away with Little Atom in his arms.
When the royal team walked away, Anya said in a bad mood: "The emperor stayed in Jinyang Palace for a whole afternoon, but when he saw my sister and me, he didn't even stop for a moment."
During the days she lived in Jinyang Palace, every time she saw Xiao Ce, she would taste despair.
Cui Jieyu is okay, at least she still has a chance to sleep with her, but what about her? Nothing.
What hope does she have in this life?
Cui Jieyu was also in a bad mood. She whispered: "Go back."
Only she knew that she was in a similar situation to Anya. Fortunately, as a chess piece, she could still hide her from others and pretend that she slept with him.
In this way, Queen Mother Guo will feel that she is still useful and will not waste her chess piece easily.
Cui Jieyu had just returned to the East Wing Hall and was about to have dinner when someone from Cihe Palace sent a message asking her to go to Cihe Palace to have dinner with Queen Mother Guo.
After hearing this, Cui Jieyu deliberately took care of herself and looked energetic before heading to Cihe Palace with her chamberlain.
After greetings, Cui Jieyu took a seat.
Queen Mother Guo chatted with Cui Jieyu for a while before asking about the business: "The emperor stayed in Jinyang Palace for half a day today, did he come to your place to sit for a while?"
"No, I am incompetent." Cui Jieyu said hoarsely.
"You are just too thin-skinned. Now that the emperor has gone to Jinyang Palace, that is your opportunity. This is also the reason why the Ai family arranged for you to live in Jinyang Palace." Empress Dowager Guo said seriously: "The Ai family can only
I’ve helped you get here, but now it’s up to you to see how you perform.”
Cui Jieyu responded one by one.
If Queen Mother Guo knew that she had never slept with her, I'm afraid she wouldn't talk to her in a nice manner, right?
"It seems that the influence of the Qin family is still there. The Ai family has to find a way to get rid of the Qin family." Empress Dowager Guo continued to think to herself.
Cui Jieyu raised her eyes slightly: "I will obey the instructions of my aunt the Queen Mother in everything."
"You can't get your hands dirty. You have just entered the palace. I don't know how difficult the Qin family will be to deal with. The Ai family will take action by then, so just stay out of it." Queen Mother Guo's eyes flashed slightly.
Last time, the Empress Dowager should have been allowed to leave the palace with Qin Zhao. Only then could the order in the harem be restored.
Because the matter of establishing a queen should not be rushed, she thought it was not appropriate to delay the draft. However, when new people enter the palace, Cui Jieyu will have fewer opportunities to meet the emperor.
If it is a draft, Cui Jieyu will definitely have no chance to rise to the top. For now, there is no need to go to that step.
After Cui Jieyu left Cihe Palace, Queen Mother Guo sighed softly, feeling obviously tired.
After she was poisoned, although Luo Qing helped her to recuperate her body every day, in the end, her roots were damaged, and she would be unable to do her job if she was just a little tired.
Luo Qing said that she needed to rest for her illness so that she could prolong her life. But with the harem in such a situation, how could she rest?
If this trend continues, Qin Zhao will turn over sooner or later, and she has to nip this trend in the cradle.
"Nian Yun, you are always smart. Help the Ai family find a way to get Concubine Qin to leave the palace. If possible, it would be a good idea to let her become a nun." Empress Dowager Guo said in a deep voice.
"This...servant is stupid and can't think of a good way." Nianyun said.
After all, Qin Zhao is also a noble concubine of the dynasty and is in charge of the management of the harem. How easy is it to touch Qin Zhao?
The emperor had neglected Qin Zhao a few days ago, but now he is gradually treating Qin Zhao differently. Even the Empress Dowager Guo would be hard-pressed to remove such an opponent.
