It's just that Zhang Jixiang, Baozhu and others didn't expect that the two masters in the study would spend so long together.
In the study, Qin Zhao was extremely hungry, and Xiao Ce himself was also hungry, and the two finally stopped playing around.
As a result, when Baozhu prepared the meal and went in, he saw the emperor holding the concubine in his arms, kissing the concubine's face from time to time, and his expression was not as serious as usual.
The imperial concubine's face was pink and she seemed shy.
Not only was Baozhu dumbfounded, Zhang Jixiang, who entered later, was also secretly shocked when he saw this scene.
Only then did Qin Zhao notice something strange. When she looked up, she saw Baozhu and Zhang Jixiang looking at her and Xiao Ce stupidly.
Afterwards, she realized that she was still sitting on Xiao Ce's lap. She quickly stood up and presented the imperial concubine's clothes: "Serve the food. I and the emperor are both hungry."
Xiao Ce's arms were suddenly empty. Although he was dissatisfied with Qin Zhao's leaving without authorization, he still retained some sense and did not pull Qin Zhao back into his arms.
During the meal, Qin Zhao secretly looked at Xiao Ce more than once, and Xiao Ce looked at her more than once. Their eyes met and then hurriedly looked away.
Qin Zhao had never been as devoted to Xiao Ce as he was today in his entire life. He was sweet at one moment and a little flustered at the other.
In the previous life, she was the one who chased Xiao Ce every time. Xiao Ce had a cold temper and would occasionally tolerate her patiently. How often had he ever had such a sweet entanglement like today?
He was very hungry, but when he thought of the bad things in his previous life, Qin Zhao suddenly lost his appetite.
"My dear concubine is thin, eat more." Xiao Ce said as he prepared food for Qin Zhao, and his other hand quietly held Qin Zhao's under the table.
Qin Zhao turned to look at Xiao Ce. Seeing her stupid look, Xiao Ce was a little confused for a moment: "But you are tired?"
He had indeed been too rude before, and it was no wonder she was tired, after all, she was so delicate.
Qin Zhao shook his head: "Your Majesty, eat more."
She found that she was being hypocritical again and worrying about gains and losses.
It would be fine if Xiao Ce didn't come. In the past ten days without him, she had lived a carefree life, so how could she be so uneasy like now?
Xiao Ce didn't notice anything strange about Qin Zhao. He only thought that Qin Zhao was caring about him. Thinking of the tenderness and affection before, the corners of his lips also rose unconsciously.
Before Xiao Ce left, he gave Qin Zhao a passionate kiss.
It was too late for Qin Zhao to avoid him, but the man who valued rules the most seemed to have changed his temper.
The attendants who were waiting on the side were all stunned, and after reacting, they all turned their backs.
Xiao Ce didn't know how long they kissed, until he reluctantly let go of Qin Zhao, and then strode away without looking back.
Qin Zhao watched the man's figure in the sunset getting further and further away, feeling inexplicably reluctant to leave.
Even though they were in the same palace and the Yangxin Palace was not far from the Jinyang Palace, she felt reluctant to leave. She even wanted to stop this man and ask him to stay.
When did she become so obsessive?
Qin Zhao felt that he was really boring like this, as if he couldn't live without Xiao Ce, and he felt tired just looking at him.
She also told Xiao Yu not to focus entirely on men, but to have her own space and life, and to love herself more. So what was she doing with such a loving relationship?
She despised herself in her heart and turned around to go back to the study.
But as soon as she stood at the door of the study, she remembered all the ridiculous behaviors she had done with Xiao Ce before, and her face became hot for a moment.
At this time, Xiao Atom came over. Seeing that his mother-in-law was in disbelief, he simply hugged her thigh and said, "Concubine, give me a hug."
Qin Zhao picked up the child and went to the dormitory. He played small games with the child to pass the time, temporarily forgetting about Xiao Ce.
On the other side, after Xiao Ce returned to Yangxin Hall, he concentrated on handling government affairs. However, occasionally he would be distracted and think of the warm and fragrant soft jade in his arms.
In the past, he was determined to be a good emperor and spent all his energy on handling government affairs. But now that he had a woman in his heart, he suddenly felt that handling government affairs was meaningless. It was better to be intoxicated when he was with Qin Zhao.
He was thinking that the way he was now was probably the so-called foolish king's behavior.
In the past, when I heard stories about foolish emperors who perished because of evil concubines, I always felt that these emperors who perished were stupid. Now all he could think about was Qin Zhao. How was he different from those foolish emperors?
At night, Xiao Ce subconsciously wanted to see Qin Zhao, but his reason stopped him from this ridiculous idea.
He must restrain himself and not waste his sleeping time because of women.
With the influence Qin Zhao's body had on him, he might be entangled with her all night long...
Zhang Jixiang watched Xiao Ce pacing back and forth in the room. He stood there in shock for a while, then suddenly smiled, and for a while his face was filled with frost.
After about half an hour, he couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, do you want me to fetch the imperial concubine?"
Anyway, the emperor is thinking crazy about whether the imperial concubine is here or not, so why not take her over?
Xiao Ce looked at Zhang Jixiang coldly, "Shut up!"
Zhang Jixiang thought to himself, isn't it the imperial concubine that the emperor is thinking about? But according to the emperor's temperament, it is really not appropriate to go to the imperial concubine at this time.
Otherwise, if this matter spreads, the reputation of the imperial concubine will not be good.
"It's all my fault for talking too much. Why don't the emperor arrange it earlier?" Zhang Jixiang looked at Xiao Ce eagerly.
That night, Xiao Ce had an uneasy sleep. In his dream, there was also a charming scene of him and Qin Zhao fighting to death...
When he went to court, Xiao Ce saw Zhao Yu's face at a glance.
Logically speaking, he already knew that Zhao Yu and Qin Zhao had a marriage, and he had also met Yue Qing. Zhao Yu should not have any inappropriate thoughts about Qin Zhao.
But every time he saw Zhao Yu's face, he felt uncomfortable.
Zhao Yu used to be his confidant. If Zhao Yu had a beauty he liked, it wouldn't matter how many he rewarded her with. But now when he sees Zhao Yu's face, he will think of the fact that Qin Zhao was Zhao Yu's first wife.
After the dynasty dispersed, Xiao Ce specifically called out to Zhao Yu, "Zhao Aiqing, stay here."
Zhao Yu had been stared at by Xiao Ce all morning, and even had a broken heart. When he heard that Xiao Ce had left him alone, he did not dare to neglect him at all.
Seeing that Xiao Ce had left Zhao Yu alone, other officials had no idea what they meant, but they did not dare to stay longer and hurriedly left the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Xiao Ce stood up from the dragon seat and walked slowly towards Zhao Yu.
When Zhao Yu heard his heavy footsteps, his heart felt like a big stone was weighing on him.
In fact, Mingzhe's best way to protect himself is to resign, but he is reluctant to leave officialdom. Only by constantly climbing up and becoming a powerful official can he have the opportunity to get close to Qin Zhao. This is his opportunity, how could he resign?
"I heard that Aiqing only has a concubine at her knees, and there are many people around her to serve her, so I prepared a gift for Aiqing."
Xiao Ce waved his dragon sleeves, and two young and beautiful girls appeared.
