"I used to be more willful. After becoming a mother, I have to consider many things. Naturally, I can no longer ignore everything as before." Qin Zhao only told half the truth.
When she faced another Xiao Ce, because that person indulged her unconditionally, over time, she became pampered and arrogant.
But she also paid a price for it.
Now that the facts have been established, she must become more stable and not make the same irreparable mistakes as before.
Overall, she feels that she has made progress than before, which is a good thing.
"I don't remember what my beloved concubine looked like before. What did my beloved concubine mean by being willful?" Xiao Ce thought thoughtfully.
Could this be considered a pity?
"It is always bad to be willful. The emperor does not remember it, but it is a blessing for the concubine." Qin Zhao felt that this topic was boring, and then thought of another serious matter: "By the way, what kind of woman does the emperor like?"
Xiao Ce didn't understand Qin Zhao's intention for a moment.
"The Empress Dowager has specifically told me that during the draft, we must select some beautiful girls that the Emperor likes. Because I am not sure about the Emperor's preferences, I want to ask." Under Xiao Ce's gaze, Qin Zhao added calmly.
She really didn't understand what kind of woman Xiao Ce liked. He had a slow and hot temper. It seemed that no woman could catch his eye, and it was even more difficult to win his heart.
If she hadn't been proactive enough, she might not have had the chance to get close to him.
Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao with a half-smile, and the corners of his lips curved in a sarcastic arc: "My beloved concubine is really dedicated."
"Since the Emperor and the Queen Mother have entrusted this important matter to my concubine, I will naturally do my best to fulfill my responsibilities..."
Before Qin Zhao finished speaking, he was suddenly picked up by Xiao Ce and carried to the couch.
She met Xiao Ce's dark eyes, which seemed to have no emotion, but contained a storm, and seemed to be able to sweep her into a violent storm in the next moment.
Only then did she remember that she was here to serve as a bed attendant. Wouldn't it make Xiao Ce lose face if she asked Xiao Ce what kind of pretty girl he liked?
Realizing that he had made a small mistake, Qin Zhao tried to make up for it by being more attentive than usual when sleeping. This made Xiao Ce Longyan very happy, but it ended up being a pain for Qin Zhao himself.
As a result, she was half exhausted and very sleepy. She endured her sleepiness and quickly dressed up.
Xiao Ce saw her busy and showed a rare kindness: "My beloved concubine can stay at the Nourishing Heart Hall tonight."
Qin Zhao was fully dressed at this time, and she replied: "I'd better go back to Jinyang Palace. I'm a little worried about Xiao Atom, so I'll feel at ease after going back and taking a look."
Her words not only rejected Xiao Ce's proposal, but also did not make Xiao Ce lose face.
Xiao Ce didn't say much. He watched Qin Zhao walk away, and his previous good mood disappeared inexplicably.
Logically speaking, Qin Zhao is considerate and sensible, does everything he wants, won't cause him trouble, and won't pester him. Isn't this great?
Unexpectedly, he felt that this kind of Qin Zhao was not real at all. At this time, Qin Zhao should act coquettishly towards him and stay overnight in Yangxin Palace.
Zhang Jixiang soon discovered that his master had not slept well at night. He tossed and turned and finally fell asleep after midnight.
He knew what kind of temper his master had. He usually had little rest time. The emperor was also used to going to bed early at night and getting up early in the morning, so the quality of sleep at night was particularly important.
It happened that the imperial concubine left the Yangxin Hall early and did not disturb the emperor. The emperor still did not sleep well. This cannot be blamed on the imperial concubine.
In the morning, Zhang Jixiang was trembling when he stood up to serve Xiao Ce, because Long Live Master's face was a bit gloomy, comparable to the dark sky outside.
He was afraid that if he could not serve him well, Xiao Ce would give him dozens of big boards.
When he went to the practice room, Zhang Jixiang clearly felt that Xiao Ce's sword was filled with murderous intent. However, after experiencing the sword practice to vent his anger, the master's mood improved a lot.
In fact, he couldn't understand why the emperor couldn't sleep.
Where can I find a master as considerate and capable as the imperial concubine in this harem? If the emperor is not satisfied with the imperial concubine like this, it will only make the imperial concubine feel cold.
On the other side, Qin Zhao got up a little late because he went to bed last night.
After casually eating some breakfast, I took some snacks made by Baoyu and headed to Shoukang Palace.
When she first entered Shoukang Palace, she did not hear Xiao Ce's voice. When she heard Xiao Ce's voice suddenly sounded, she realized that Xiao Ce was also in Shoukang Palace.
Normally, she would deliberately avoid the time when Xiao Ce came to pay his respects, and staggered her time with Xiao Ce to avoid meeting each other. But today she got up late and came at the same time as Xiao Ce came to Shoukang Palace to pay his respects.
"Why doesn't the empress leave?" Bao Zhu asked curiously when he saw Qin Zhao hesitated.
Qin Zhaoqiang braced himself, there was no way he could avoid it at this time: "I just got distracted."
Baozhu didn't believe Qin Zhao's story, but didn't ask any more questions.
When Qin Zhao entered, Xiao Ce was talking to the Empress Dowager.
As soon as she saw her coming, the Empress Dowager smiled and narrowed her eyes: "Here comes Zhao Yatou. Today, A Ce finally met Zhao Yatou. Usually your schedules are always staggered."
When talking about the latter part, the old man spoke with regret.
Qin Zhao didn't want to continue this topic, so he deliberately showed the snacks in his hand: "I specially asked Baoyu to make the snacks. They are still warm. Would you like to try them?"
When the Empress Dowager heard that Baoyu made the snacks, how could she remember what happened before?
She couldn't wait to take a piece to try. It was fragrant, soft and glutinous, and the ingredients were suitable for an old person like her. There was Miss Zhao taking care of the food, so she didn't need to worry.
The Empress Dowager has a great appetite due to her recent recovery. She wanted to eat two more snacks, but Xiao Ce stopped her: "Grandma, that's enough."
The Queen Mother knew that Xiao Ce had good intentions, and she really couldn't eat too much to avoid accumulating food and affecting her appetite.
"Our girl Zhao is so kind. Every time she comes here, she brings delicious food to the Ai family. The Ai family is very lucky..." The Queen Mother was full of praise for Qin Zhao.
Xiao Ce glanced at Qin Zhao, who was sitting quietly aside, and felt that what the emperor's grandmother said made sense. He was smart and capable, and even the attendants around him were capable.
It's just that his temperament is not very lovable. When I saw him, he looked like a wooden man, but he was more lively when I served him last night.
In this short time, Xiao Ce found many shortcomings in Qin Zhao.
How did Qin Zhao know that Xiao Ce was burying himself in his heart again?
She sat quietly for a while and then stood up to leave. The Queen Mother knew that she was busy recently, so she said to Xiao Ce: "Ace, it's rare for you to meet Zhao Yatou. Why don't you go and send her back to Jinyang Palace?"
When Qin Zhao heard this, he declined politely: "No need, the emperor takes care of everything, I can go back by myself."
"I will send my beloved concubine back." As soon as Qin Zhao finished speaking, he heard Xiao Ce say.
Xiao Ce, the emperor, opened his mouth. Naturally, Qin Zhao had no objection: "Then I would like to thank the emperor."
