After waiting quietly for Xiao Ce to finish his work, Cui Jieyu followed Xiao Ce into the dormitory, and everyone else was dismissed.
This time she summoned up the courage to go to Xiao Ce and said: "Let me wait for the emperor to go to bed..."
Xiao Ce looked at Cui Jieyu's face and felt that Cui Jieyu was not as good-looking as Qin Zhao. Looking at Cui Jieyu's hands, they were not as delicate and fair as Qin Zhao's. Even her voice, Cui Jieyu couldn't compare to Qin Zhao.
Maybe it was because Cui Jieyu was not as good as Qin Zhao in everything. Even if Cui Jieyu was so close to him, he had no interest at all, let alone the idea of ordering her to sleep with her.
It doesn't matter, he still refuses Cui Jieyu to come close to him.
"You will go and stay in the west room in half an hour." After Xiao Ce finished speaking, he took a book to pass the time.
Cui Jieyu looked at Xiao Ce, who was thousands of miles away from her, and wanted to ask him why Qin Zhao could sleep with him but she couldn't. In the end, she didn't ask anything and stood silently for half an hour before going to the west room.
.
The moment she lay on the bed, she suddenly regretted her proposal to make a deal with Xiao Ce that night.
If she hadn't taken that step, she wouldn't be riding a tiger now.
She told a lie, and she would have to use many lies to cover up the first lie. Not long after she started, she felt tired.
Xiao Ce was so cold to her and didn't even want to say a word to her. There was no way she could let Xiao Ce change his mind about her.
Early the next morning, Cui Jieyu was invited to Cihe Palace by Empress Dowager Guo, and Luo Qing was also asked to diagnose her pulse.
She knew that Luo Qing had superb medical skills, but she was afraid that Luo Qing would find out that she never slept with him.
Luo Qing didn't know that Cui Jieyu was afraid of her, so she took her pulse and said to the Queen Mother Guo: "Cui Jieyu is in good health, and there is nothing wrong with her at the moment."
"But there has been no movement from her bed these days. What's going on?" Queen Mother Guo asked worriedly.
"This... ordinary people don't know. Judging from the pulse, there is indeed nothing wrong with Cui Jieyu's body." Luo Qing replied sternly.
Luo Qing's words made Cui Jieyu feel relieved.
She was also stupid. No matter how superb Luo Qing's medical skills were, it was impossible for her to diagnose that she was still innocent, so it was impossible for the Queen Mother's aunt to know that she was still unable to sleep with her.
After that, Empress Dowager Guo dismissed everyone, leaving only Nian Yun waiting in front of her, and then chatted with Cui Jieyu about home affairs.
"The Ai family only hopes that you will be pregnant as soon as possible. Originally, the Ai family wanted to have a master in the middle palace as soon as possible, but later they hoped that you would be pregnant with the emperor's heir, and then you would be able to compete for this position. The issue of the establishment of the queen cannot be delayed like this.
Your belly needs to be strong..."
Queen Mother Guo said a lot, and Cui Jieyu responded one by one. She did not dare to tell the truth at all.
She was unable to sleep with him, and of course she could not be pregnant with the emperor's heir. The hopes of the Queen Mother's aunt would definitely be disappointed.
If the Queen Mother's aunt knew the truth one day in the future, she would probably die.
Time passed quickly to the end of June, and more than half a month had passed since the last time Qin Zhao went to bed.
Baohong, on the other hand, was counting the days and wondering every day why there was no sign of her master at the Yangxin Hall.
Qin Zhao was so annoyed by her words that she couldn't stand it anymore, so he simply moved Bao Lu to the front, while Bao Hong went to the kitchen to help.
Unexpectedly, when they arrived at the small kitchen, Baohong was still talking to Baoyu: "The Imperial Concubine is so good, why has the Emperor not ordered her to sleep with her? Is there any master or mistress in the entire harem who is as outstanding as the Imperial Concubine?"
Beautiful..."
Qin Zhao only hated that his hearing was so good that he could still hear Baohong reciting sutras when he was so far away from him.
That night, when Qin Zhao had dinner, Zhang Jixiang came and said that Xiao Ce had cheated on her.
Bao Lu was quite surprised when she heard this, and immediately went to tell Bao Hong the good news.
Qin Zhao felt funny when he heard Baohong's footsteps running towards him.
In order to prevent Zhang Jixiang from seeing the joke, she asked Bao Lan to accompany her while Bao Zhu stayed in Jinyang Palace to help her take care of the baby.
Although no evidence was found for the last incident, she still felt that Bao Lan was the one who spread the news.
Little Atom needs to be protected by a careful girl like Bao Zhu, and if Bao Lan is suspicious, she should keep Bao Lan by her side and keep an eye on her under her nose, so that she can feel at ease.
When Baohong hurried over, only Baozhu was left holding Xiao Atom, and Xiao Linzi was also left behind by Qin Zhao.
"The empress left like this without even changing her clothes?" Baohong asked anxiously.
"Your Majesty told us before she left that we should protect your Highness, and you don't need to worry about other things." Baozhu shook his head, not worried at all that His Majesty would be left out in the cold.
She spent the most time with the imperial concubine, and of course she knew that the emperor treated the imperial concubine differently.
No matter how harsh the emperor is to the imperial concubine, he is very interested in her body, which makes the imperial concubine very tired every time. Based on this alone, she knows that no one can match the imperial concubine's abilities.
That day Qin Zhao went to the Yangxin Hall and was taken into the study by Zhang Jixiang.
She saw that Xiao Ce was busy and Zhang Jixiang left with the others, so she went to Xiao Ce's side and planned to serve the pen and ink.
Zhang Jixiang said before that it was Xiao Ce's wish and she could not make her own decision, and then Zhang Jixiang took her to the study.
Xiao Ce is really strange. Since he doesn't like her, he simply doesn't look for her. But Xiao Ce takes pleasure in tormenting her. At this moment, when she comes, he pretends not to see her. He doesn't know what An is thinking.
.
By the time Xiao Ce finished his work, it was already half an hour later.
Xiao Ce didn't even look at Qin Zhao after he finished his work. He stood up and said, "Follow me."
Qin Zhao knew that he was talking to him, so he followed him out of the study.
She saw that Xiao Ce was taking her to the back hall.
When Xiao Ce went to the clean room, he also called her in.
Although he is such a serious person, he was dishonest when she was bathing. Later, he also brought her into the bathtub, which was called washing together to save water.
Of course, the nature of this bathing later changed, and Qin Zhao was tortured for half an hour before he was taken to bed and started a new journey of sleeping.
This time, I don’t know if Xiao Ce has been away for a long time, or if her body is a bit attractive to Xiao Ce, but she was tortured to death.
When she was drowsy, she heard Xiao Ce scold her for being "squeamish".
She remembered that this was Xiao Ce's dormitory, and he didn't like sharing his private residence with women, so she wisely got up and planned to go to the west to rest.
"My beloved, you can return to Jinyang Palace." Xiao Ce's emotionless voice awakened Qin Zhao's confused thoughts.
Qin Zhao was too tired to move, so she wanted to rest in the west, but Xiao Ce, an inhumane man, asked her to go back to Jinyang Palace to sleep. It was really inhumane.
She yawned and said inarticulately: "I leave you, my concubine."
After that, she left the Yangxin Palace, sat on the chariot, and dozed off on the way back to Jinyang Palace...
