Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao: "Does it look like I'm blaming my beloved concubine?"
If she hadn't said something treacherous yesterday, he wouldn't have told her to get out. Today, he asked her to come over to serve on the pen and ink, just to tell everyone in the harem that Qin Zhao was not abandoned by him, and those people could stop spreading rumors.
"Isn't it?" Qin Zhao was startled: "Then why did the emperor bring his concubine here?"
Xiao Ce was speechless for a moment.
He just heard that what the palace maid said was not true, so he asked Qin Zhao to come over to serve as a pen and ink. Of course, he also wanted to clarify for Qin Zhao.
Since Qin Zhao is the person he promised to take care of for the rest of his life, he must match his words with his actions, right?
"Your Majesty?" Qin Zhao saw that Xiao Ce was in a daze and wondered what he was thinking.
Xiao Ce came back to his senses and said casually: "The rumors in the harem are not good to hear, my dear wife, don't you intend to deal with those people?"
Didn’t everyone say that Qin Zhao was arrogant, domineering, vicious and autocratic? In that case, those minions who gossiped should be dealt with.
Qin Zhao couldn't help laughing: "What's so easy to deal with? Half of the entire harem is discussing this matter. I've heard these words too many times. If you really want to start arguing, then the entire harem will have to be dealt with."
Seeing Qin Zhao's indifferent expression, Xiao Ce couldn't help frowning: "My beloved concubine is still too weak after all."
The smile on Qin Zhao's face gradually faded: "The emperor has been the proud son of heaven since he was born. He also occupies a high position, has power, power, and is surrounded by the royal family. If anyone talks nonsense about the emperor, the emperor can deal with it with just one mouth.
Those people. But I am just an ordinary person who climbed from the bottom of society to where I am today. If I care about everything, I am afraid that there will be no such person as Chen Concubine in this world."
Not everyone can become a strong person, and not everyone can handle problems from a strong position.
Even if she became a noble concubine, she would still have the emperor Xiao Ce and the Queen Mother Guo eyeing her.
Xiao Ce met Qin Zhao's peaceful eyes and suddenly felt a little upset and agitated: "Well, this is my concubine's business. It's my concubine's business how to deal with it, but my concubine can't always expect me to vent my anger on my concubine.
"
Qin Zhao felt dumbfounded when he heard this familiar old saying: "I don't expect the emperor to vent my anger on me."
Xiao Ce said this sentence more than once in her previous life. She has always kept it in her heart and dare not forget it until this life.
Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao steadily for a while: "Are you sure you don't need my help?"
"No need." Qin Zhao straightened his spine and looked firm.
Xiao Ce's expression turned cold: "Back off."
Since she doesn't know what's good for her, why should he go to extra trouble and think that he can save some face for her in this way?
Qin Zhao followed the instructions and stepped back without looking back.
Looking at her straight back, Xiao Ce frowned.
Zhang Jixiang heard the conversation between Xiao Ce and Qin Zhao from the side. He just lamented that Qin Zhao didn't know how to judge the situation. He was obviously a smart man. Why couldn't the imperial concubine show weakness in front of the emperor?
Since the imperial concubine can forgive those who make rude remarks, why is she so strong when facing the emperor?
The emperor actually said that since he said that he would take care of the imperial concubine for the rest of his life, he should keep his word, and the emperor was trying to do so. So when he heard the harem talking about the imperial concubine, the emperor called the imperial concubine to the front of the emperor.
Waiting for pen and ink, such rumors will naturally be self-defeating.
The imperial concubine, on the other hand, made the emperor very angry and pushed him away at the same time.
The emperor said that the imperial concubine was too weak, but he felt that the imperial concubine was too strong.
If the imperial concubine had shown weakness to the emperor, she would not have made the situation so ugly.
After Qin Zhao returned to Jinyang Palace, he found that the atmosphere in Jinyang Palace had changed. Maybe it was because she went to the Yangxin Palace, and everyone thought she had stood up again. When the servants in the East and West Side Palaces saw her,
The attitude became more respectful.
Qin Zhao knew that they did not respect her as a person, but Xiao Ce.
For her, this is not something to be happy about.
In the blink of an eye, the weather is getting hotter and it will soon be June.
There is only one month left for Xiao Atom's first birthday. This is what Qin Zhao values most, but she feels there is no need to make a big deal about it.
On the contrary, the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival is a big festival, and we need to put in some effort to make everyone celebrate the Reunion Festival happily.
During this period, Xiao Ce occasionally walked around the harem. He had visited every palace, including Zhongcui Palace. Only Jinyang Palace had not been there once.
However, none of the concubines had the opportunity to sleep with her, except Cui Jieyu.
Although the noble concubine Qin Zhao was not in the cold palace, it was no different from being in the cold palace. She was completely ignored by Xiao Ce.
This is a result that everyone is happy to see. Even though Qin Zhao once had the opportunity to sleep with him, the era of Qin Zhao's favor in the harem is gone forever.
Just like this time, all the concubines in the harem had the opportunity to meet the saint, but Qin Zhao did not even have the chance to meet the saint. Such Qin Zhao was no longer a threat to anyone.
Everyone was happy to see this scene, and the happiest person was Wu Xirou.
What she fears most is that Qin Zhao takes power, but now it seems that Xiao Ce has been very cold towards Qin Zhao after he had the memory of his previous life, and Qin Zhao's decline will not be reversed anytime soon.
Therefore, there is no need for her to be too anxious. Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, and she still has the rest of her life to slowly spend the rest of her life with Xiao Ce.
When she was not pestering Xiao Ce, when Xiao Ce came to walk around the harem, the first person he came to was Zhongcui Palace. This meant that Xiao Ce remembered her, and that was enough.
Because Qin Zhao is not favored, he will naturally not become the focus of public opinion.
On the contrary, because Cui Jieyu went to bed once and was the woman who slept with her the most in the past few months, Cui Jieyu was the one who talked about the most.
In the east side hall of Jinyang Palace, Xiao Luzi was talking about this matter: "Everyone is jealous of the master. Many people have set their sights on the master. The master should be careful."
Cui Jieyu's mood was not high, because after she reached an agreement with Xiao Ce, although she had the opportunity to "stay in bed", she had not actually made any progress.
Every time she entered Xiao Ce's palace, everyone else would be sent away. In the end, she could only sit there for half an hour before being sent to the west room, or she would go back to Jinyang Palace at that time.
Now she has become the target of public criticism, but she doesn't even have a chance to sleep with her. Is there anything more tragic than this?
"Master, are you in a bad mood?" Xiangtan asked tentatively, noticing that Cui Jieyu was not in a high mood.
Cui Jieyu opened her lips indifferently: "Is there anything that makes you feel good?"
Although she is still valuable for the time being, if one day the Queen Mother's aunt finds out that she has not had a chance to sleep with her yet, she will probably be abandoned by the Queen Mother Guo.
Xiao Luzi was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer the question.
