Qin Zhao caught a glimpse of the expressions of the two people and had to pretend that she didn't see anything, so as not to be nudged by the two girls to compete for their favor.
It's not that she doesn't know how to compete for favor, or that she can't do it well, she just thinks it's meaningless.
If Xiao Ce cares about her, then what's the point of her competing for favor? At least her efforts are worth it.
But to put her own dignity underfoot for a man who doesn't have her in his heart, only she in her previous life could do such a thing.
The loneliness and bravery in her previous life were all left behind, and she would never have such passion again in this life.
This incident was quickly forgotten by Qin Zhao. It was not until three days later that Xiao Ce turned over Cui Jieyu's sign again, and the silent harem began to be lively again.
The day after Cui Jieyu went to bed, many people came to Qin Zhao, and some concubines asked Qin Zhao to take charge of Cui Jieyu.
Looking at these charming guests who didn't mind the trouble, Qin Zhao listened to every word and couldn't help but yawned after hearing it.
Seeing Qin Zhao's lazy look, Li Yunu couldn't help but shook her head: "Sister Qin, please give me some snacks, Sister Cui is almost riding on Sister Qin's head."
She was really anxious for Qin Zhao this time.
If Empress Dowager Guo hadn't sent Cui Jieyu to Jinyang Palace, and if Qin Zhao had been more careful at that time, Cui Jieyu might not be as prosperous as she is now.
"Sister Cui is beautiful, intelligent, and knowledgeable. Not only does the emperor like such a woman, but I also like her." Qin Zhao replied with a smile.
Li Yunv carefully looked at Qin Zhao's expression and knew that this woman was telling the truth, which meant that Qin Zhao really didn't care about Cui Jieyu.
No one cared that they, outsiders, had anything to say. She just stood aside as a spectator and said nothing.
Some people present wanted to see Qin Zhao take action against Cui Jieyu. A few of them were sincerely interested in Qin Zhao, but Qin Zhao smiled and always looked like he didn't care.
Among them, Xu Cairen was undoubtedly the quietest. She only echoed what others said and did not stand out.
Because of this, Qin Zhao specifically named Xu Cairen: "Why is sister Xu so quiet today?"
Xu Cairen deliberately lowered her sense of presence, but did not want Qin Zhao to notice her. She said: "I am listening to the sisters talking, and I feel that each has their own reasons. Everyone's heart is towards Sister Qin, so she deliberately
Take this trip.”
"What do you think of Sister Xu?" Qin Zhao asked with interest.
Xu Cairen looked deep in thought, and then said after a while: "Sister Qin's relationship with the emperor is different from others, so I'm not too worried about Sister Qin. Even though Sister Cui is a bit new to the emperor, after staying for a long time, the emperor is still
I think Sister Qin is the best."
She has seen what Qin Zhao is capable of as a woman. To be honest, she does not agree that Qin Zhao has fallen out of favor now. Since the emperor is still ordering Qin Zhao to sleep with him, it means that Qin Zhao has never fallen out of favor.
It's just that Cui Jieyu just entered the palace. The emperor favors Cui Jieyu more, so that's normal.
For a woman to be favored by the emperor like Qin Zhao and last for a long time, this is her true talent.
"Sister Xu is so good at flattering." Li Yunu sneered.
Xu Cairen did not say anything to Li Yunv: "This is what I say from the bottom of my heart."
Qin Zhao did not comment: "Your Majesty is the Supreme Being and the Lord of Qi. He has thousands of beauties in the harem, so he will surely be affected by the rain and dew. If nothing happens, everyone should leave."
Qin Zhao issued an order to expel guests, so everyone could not stay any longer.
After walking out of Jinyang Palace, Lady Li sarcastically said: "Sister Qin loves face, but Sister Cui is taking advantage of this, and Sister Qin pretends not to care. Do we really want to wait for Sister Cui to become pregnant with the emperor's heir?
Is your sister the only one who is nervous?"
"In my opinion, it's not that I'm not nervous, but that I have no choice. Sister Qin can't influence the emperor's thoughts. The emperor wants to pamper sister Cui. Can sister Qin still murder sister Cui?" The person who answered was Sun Yunu.
Li Yunv heard this and looked sideways: "Sister Yisun, will Sister Qin compete for favor?"
Sun Yunv did not expect Li Yunv to ask such a direct question, she said: "I am not Sister Qin, how can I know what Sister Qin is thinking?"
"Indeed, but you definitely want Sister Qin to fight Sister Cui. It's best to fight to the death, so doesn't Sister Sun have a chance to rise to the top?" Li Yunv said the thoughts of most people, and then
Leave first.
Some of the remaining people were told that they had important matters and did not want to stay outside Jinyang Palace for a long time, so they left separately.
In Jinyang Palace, Qin Zhao saw off all the guests and yawned again: "I finally left."
"If you are still sleepy, would you like to rest for a while?" Baozhu knew that Qin Zhao's favorite thing was to sleep.
Qin Zhao cheered up and said: "No, the matters for the Mid-Autumn Festival are not ready yet. I can't be lazy anymore, otherwise I won't be able to make it in time."
Bao Zhu stopped trying to persuade her. She knew that her master was lazy, but when it came to serious matters, the empress would never be vague or careless.
Nowadays, the empress manages the affairs of the harem in an orderly manner. If the empress trusts someone, the empress is willing to give the people below them the greatest freedom.
Afterwards, Shang Gong, Shang Yi, Shang Shi and Shang Fu all came to report the progress of the Mid-Autumn Festival to Qin Zhao.
After Qin Zhao listened quietly, he put forward some opinions. Everyone felt that the imperial concubine was as meticulous as dust, thoughtful and handled the details extremely well.
After everyone left Jinyang Palace, Qin Zhao took Xiao Atom to have lunch.
But I didn't expect that Zhang Jixiang would suddenly arrive at this moment, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
As soon as Qin Zhao saw his expression, she knew that Zhang Jixiang's visit was up to no good. She said in a good-tempered manner: "If you have anything to do, you might as well just say it."
Zhang Jixiang found it difficult to say it, but he just sent a message: "The weather has been hot recently, and the emperor has a bad taste. He thought he would like to borrow the jade from the imperial concubine."
The food made by Baoyu tastes very good, and the taste is not the same as that made by Yuchu.
"Okay, let Bao Lu find Bao Yu." Qin Zhao deserved to be happy.
Seeing this, Baozhu reminded: "If Baoyu is lent to the emperor, what about the empress?"
I'm afraid that the emperor borrowed the jade and won't return it, what should I do?
"It's okay. The emperor's food is important. Any one of you can take care of my food." Qin Zhao felt that this was not a problem.
Although she was being naughty by Baoyu, it was not a big problem.
"I'm worried that the emperor will be reluctant to let Baoyu come back when he arrives," Bao Zhu said.
Qin Zhao smiled and said: "This is nothing. If you can stay in the Yangxin Hall to serve, it will be Baoyu's blessing."
She felt that Baozhu's worries were justified.
If it were Xiao Ce, he would be reluctant to let him go after eating the food cooked by Baoyu.
Baozhu was silent.
When it comes to this matter, what else can she say?
