Because of Xiu Mu, Xiao Ce remembered Qin Zhao and returned to Jinyang Palace.
At that time, Qin Zhao was reading to her children. Her ups and downs voice was like jade hitting each other, falling in Xiao Ce's ears, which was pleasant to the ear.
Qin Zhao had known that Xiao Ce was coming, so he kept silent, and she just pretended not to know. However, Xiao Ce's footsteps were brisk, and it didn't look like he was looking for trouble for her.
When others paid their respects to Xiao Ce, Qin Zhaocai pretended to be surprised and said: "Is the emperor here again?"
She put down the little atom and stepped forward to say hello to Xiao Ce.
Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao with a heavy gaze, like a thousand-year-old ancient well with no bottom.
Qin Zhao was stunned by Xiao Ce's eyes: "What's wrong with the emperor?"
This man was obviously so handsome, but being stared at by him so urgently at this moment made it impossible for her to breathe freely.
Could it be that he still suspected that Yue Qing was her substitute?
Xiao Ce pinched Qin Zhao's delicate and small chin, looked at it carefully and looked at it again, and said, seemingly true and false: "My beloved concubine is good-looking."
He just wanted to see if there was any similarity between this face and Yue Qing.
Qin Zhao is obviously so good-looking and has no resemblance to Yue Qing. How did the rumor about Yue Qing being Qin Zhao's stand-in spread?
Qin Zhaocai didn't believe his nonsense. She held Xiao Ce's hand holding her chin, gently moved it away, and played with his slender fingers just like Xiao Ce played with her fingers.
"I heard that there is a person in the palace who looks like me. When will the emperor let me take a look at that beauty?" Qin Zhao's beautiful eyes were as bright as spring light, and he glanced sideways at Xiao Ce, half bright and half pure.
Xiao Ce was a little confused: "What did my concubine say?"
"Ako." Qin Zhaocai was too lazy to answer riddles.
Xiao Ce didn't expect that Qin Zhao would suddenly mention A'kou. He was speechless for a moment and felt a little guilty for no reason.
"When the emperor was angry with me, he found a beauty who looked exactly like me to stay by his side. Sometimes I was thinking that the emperor was more interested in my face than my body.
Maybe, you have more face?"
Qin Zhao's voice was pleasant. She was not playing with Xiao Ce's fingers, looking careless, but the words she spoke made Xiao Ce unable to resist.
Logically speaking, Xiao Ce is an emperor, and no one can care about how many women there are around him, but Qin Zhao is different.
When she asked, he seemed to be wrong.
"I asked A'Kuo to leave the palace." Xiao Ce didn't want to say more.
"Why can Ako leave the palace?" Qin Zhao blurted out after hearing this.
Why is it so easy for others to leave the palace? She just mentioned it, and he wanted to send her to be his sister-in-law.
Xiao Ce heard the mystery behind her question.
She asked why Ah Kou could leave the palace, which meant why she, Qin Zhao, could not leave the palace?
He half-squinted his eyes, looking at Qin Zhao's eyes filled with frost and snow.
Qin Zhao was frightened by Xiao Ce's gaze, and finally realized that there was something wrong with what he just said.
"My beloved concubine also wants to leave the palace, right?" Xiao Ce stared intently at Qin Zhao's eyes, and his breath seemed to have a chilling air.
Qin Zhao replied without hesitation: "Yes, I haven't left the palace to play for many days."
Xiao Ce was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes.
Great, this woman is playing word games with him.
Qin Zhao didn't wait for Xiao Ce to attack, and turned the question back: "The emperor hasn't told me yet, why is he so kind to Ako? By the way, does the emperor like my face or my body?
"
This man is obsessed with the fact that Yue Qing may be her substitute all day long, but what about him, isn't he so special to a palace maid who looks exactly like her?
This is a typical example of how only state officials are allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps.
No one has ever dared to be so presumptuous towards Xiao Ce or question him face to face.
"Is the concubine's problem so difficult? If the emperor doesn't say anything, let me do it. When the emperor ignored me, I suddenly felt that this harem is not just a concubine. The emperor does not have to be a concubine, as long as I
The emperor is pleased that there are many beauties in the harem for the emperor to choose from, and he can even find a woman like Chen Concubine under his nose, so Ako was born, right?" Qin Zhao opened his lips indifferently.
Xiao Ce's face darkened when he heard this: "What do you really want to say, my beloved concubine?"
"There was a rumor in the past that Yue Qing was similar to Chen Concubine, but Chen Concubine didn't take it seriously at all. There are so many similar people in the world? Even if Yue Qing is really similar to Chen Concubine, it probably can't be the same as Ako and Chen Concubine.
Isn't it similar? But now that Yue Qing is dead, someone still deliberately brought this matter to the emperor, so the emperor started to wonder if Yue Qing was the concubine's substitute. Is that so?" Qin Zhao revealed Xiao Ce with one sentence.
thoughts.
Xiao Ce's face looked ugly because Qin Zhao's first sentence hit the point.
"Actually, I was also curious about how much Ako looked like me, which made the emperor feel pity for me and sent him out of the palace." Qin Zhao made another stab at this time.
There was a deathly silence in the room, Xiao Ce didn't speak, and Qin Zhao didn't speak either.
Sometimes she talks too much, and every word she says makes Xiao Ce unhappy. Even though she is surrounded by dangers, she still angers Xiao Ce.
She wasn't as restless before, and she wasn't as jealous as she is now. She must look ugly now, right?
Qin Zhao didn't know when Xiao Ce left, but she didn't regret what she said today.
It's just that he is obsessed with and cares about, and that's why he is entangled with the women in his name.
In the Yangxin Hall, Zhang Jixiang waited carefully.
It was rare that he had free time, and the emperor finally had time to spend time with the imperial concubine. However, the imperial concubine's mouth was full of words that the emperor did not like to hear.
"Xian Fei is quite capable!" Just when Zhang Jixiang was in a daze, Xiao Ce suddenly slapped his palm on the desk.
Zhang Jixiang hurriedly knelt on the ground: "I also think that Concubine Xian deliberately mentioned Yue Qing's death in front of the Emperor today. I think she is jealous of Concubine Xian's favor. Although Concubine Xian spoke more today, it is also because she cares about the Emperor.
Because of this, I became jealous, but the imperial concubine had never been jealous before."
This is the conclusion he came to after careful consideration.
In all the years since the imperial concubine has been in the palace, has she ever questioned the emperor in front of him like she did today? The reason is simply because she cares about the emperor.
"The imperial concubine has never been jealous before?" Xiao Ce thought thoughtfully.
It's been a few years since Qin Zhao entered the palace, right? According to Zhang Jixiang's words, didn't Qin Zhao care about him before?
"No, the empress has always kept a good sense of proportion." Zhang Jixiang said.
Xiao Ce's heart sank and he said nothing.
In the following time, Xiao Ce wanted to read a book to pass the time, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't concentrate.
