By the time they arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Qin Zhao's mood had calmed down as usual.
Maybe he can't stop what's coming, and it's useless for her to mind. Now she can only take advantage of it.
Because with a big shot like Xiao Ce, even if she wanted to keep a low profile, it would be impossible.
Fortunately, after taking the next step, Xiao Ce finally let go of her hand.
Xiao Ce arrived early, and there were not too many people in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but Concubine Shu arrived early in the morning.
When she saw that the woman following Xiao Ce was actually Qin Zhao, her expression changed slightly.
But what surprised her was that when a mediocre woman like Qin Zhao stood next to such an outstanding Ah Ce, she didn't show any timidity at all. Whether it was her walking pace or her calm temperament, she was on par with Ah Ce.
It seems that Qin Zhao should have stood by A Ce's side, they were born as a couple.
Concubine Shu was surprised to have such a strange illusion suddenly arise.
She shook off her thoughts and became more determined to get Qin Zhao married as soon as possible. Only when Qin Zhao got married and left the East Palace, A Ce would not ruin his reputation because of such a woman.
Qin Zhao herself also sensed the obscure look that Concubine Shu cast towards her. She could guess what Concubine Shu was thinking at this moment. She probably wished that she could get married immediately and stay away from the palace and Xiao Ce.
She suppressed the turbulent emotions in her heart and went with Xiao Ce to pay her respects to Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu was unhappy, but she would not express her dissatisfaction with Qin Zhao in front of Xiao Ce. She spared Xiao Ce's courtesy, but did not look at Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao stood aside silently without saying a word.
Xiao Ce paid his respects to Concubine Shu, and then took Qin Zhao to his place.
As the prince, Xiao Ce's position is of course the most conspicuous position besides the current emperor, and Qin Zhao is sitting next to Xiao Ce.
"No need to be nervous." Xiao Ce found that Qin Zhao was quieter than ever and was not as lively as before, so he thought she was nervous and reassured her.
Qin Zhao nodded in agreement, having nothing more to say.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Ce pushed the fruit in front of her: "Zhaozhao, are you unhappy?"
Qin Zhao turned to look at Xiao Ce, and when she met his cold eyes, she shook her head: "No."
She just remembered a lot of things from her previous life, and was afraid that something might happen if Seth showed up later. But she was not unhappy, but a little confused and uneasy.
"You can just sit back and relax later. If anything happens, I will take care of you." Xiao Ce softened a little when he saw her well-behaved appearance.
"Your Highness is the Crown Prince, and it is such a grand occasion. If something happens, Your Highness does not need to take care of the women of the people. Women of the people are not important. What is important is His Highness the Crown Prince and the national prestige of our Da Qi Kingdom." Qin Zhao replied softly.
In the face of national interests, personal honor and disgrace are trivial, and she still has this understanding.
Xiao Ce's lips curved slightly, "You are a sensible child."
Qin Zhao complained silently in his heart, this person is here again, shouldn't he treat her as his daughter?
After that, people came in one after another from the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
When Wu Guifei arrived, the formation was very grand and full of style. She was dressed in a grand Zhai suit with vivid embroidered Zhai bird patterns. It was originally a solemn dress, but when she wore it on Wu Guifei, she still couldn't hide her romantic look.
Charm.
Wu Xiyu, who followed Concubine Wu, completely inherited Concubine Wu's charming style.
She was wearing a light blue cross-neck skirt. It looked like it was tailor-made for her. It flattered her slender waist. The skirt was very long, dragging out her graceful figure wherever she passed.
Her beautiful curves are as gorgeous as her person, making people unable to take their eyes away.
Concubine Shu couldn't help but look at Wu Xiyu a few more times.
Although Concubine Wu is also very beautiful, compared with the young Wu Xiyu, she is still far behind.
As a woman, she couldn't help but take a second look, but she didn't know that A Ce...
Concubine Shu looked at Xiao Ce and saw that Ce was talking to Qin Zhao. Qin Zhao was nodding with his lips pursed. It seemed that neither of them noticed that Concubine Wu came with her young and beautiful niece.
This made her feel a little relieved. At this time, Qin Zhao also had some effect.
When the charming Concubine Wu and Wu Xiyu saw Xiao Ce and Qin Zhao whispering to each other, they were not in such a good mood.
Concubine Wu's plan was to take advantage of a grand occasion like today to develop a relationship with Xiao Ce before Wu Xiyu entered the East Palace.
She even thought about it, if there was a woman sitting next to Xiao Ce, that woman would have to be Sister Xi.
She never expected that she would see such a scene when she came to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
If Qin Zhao sits next to the prince, then where should Sister Xi, the future Liang Di, sit?
Wu Xiyu was stunned the moment she saw Qin Zhao. She never expected that Xiao Ce would bring Qin Zhao with him on such a big occasion today. The imperial concubine's aunt had clearly made arrangements with her and asked her to sit in Xiao Ce's chair when attending.
Choose the position around you.
Her position was taken by Qin Zhao again, so what should she do?
"Aunt Concubine Wu..." Wu Xiyu subconsciously looked to Concubine Wu for help.
Concubine Wu's red lips curved in a cool arc: "I have said that you should fight for and grab what you want, rather than others helping you."
Even if she can help, she can't help her for a lifetime. Sister Xi should understand this.
Wu Xiyu bit her lower lip lightly, and she responded softly: "I understand. But I still need to trouble my aunt, the imperial concubine, so that I can sit next to His Royal Highness."
It would be best if the imperial concubine's aunt ordered Qin Zhao, a pariah, to leave that position!
Concubine Wu was very satisfied with Wu Xiyu's understanding. She raised her lips and said, "Qin Zhao, come here. I have something to tell you."
Qin Zhao heard Concubine Wu's voice and realized that Concubine Wu and Wu Xiyu were coming.
Wu Xiyu is the heroine, so she has to give up her place next to Xiao Ce for Wu Xiyu, which is roughly like this.
She couldn't refuse in such a public occasion, and Concubine Wu would not kill her in public.
Qin Zhao was about to get up when Xiao Ce suddenly spoke up: "If you have anything important to discuss with Qin Zhao, just tell me if you have any questions."
For a moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao couldn't sit or stand, so he was a little passive for a while.
Xiao Ce saw her stiff posture and pulled her to sit down: "Sit down and don't move. What I have to explain is not over yet!"
Qin Zhao couldn't stand up now, so he could only smile apologetically at Concubine Wu.
After all, Concubine Wu is someone who has experienced storms. Although her expression was a little stiff at first, she soon returned to normal.
"That's all, Sister Xi, go over and have a few words with Qin Zhao." Concubine Wu said, and personally led Wu Xiyu to Xiao Ce, and asked Wu Xiyu to sit in another empty seat next to Xiao Ce.
"Sister Xi, please enter the East Palace soon. Qin Zhao has been staying in the East Palace for a while. If you have any questions, you can ask Qin Zhao for advice. Remember, you must serve the prince well." Concubine Wu's last words seemed meaningful.
