Baozhu remembered that when the emperor saw the empress in the past, he would naturally get close to her. It was a common thing to hold hands, and the look in his eyes when he looked at the empress was different from usual, very gentle.
Now when the emperor looks at his empress, he is no longer as tender as before, but more... restrained.
Yes, it means restraint, as if suppressing something.
"I don't know what to do in the future." Qin Zhao murmured to himself.
Sometimes she also wants to directly ask Xiao Ce the question that has been hidden for a long time. Did he have a little love for her in his previous life?
But when facing Xiao Ce, she was more "cowardly in close proximity to home".
If we were to say that the biggest knot in her heart was that she had never received a response from Xiao Ce during her passionate love life.
It would be fine if Xiao Ce had no memory of his past life. Now that Xiao Ce remembered his past life, how could she not care?
Qin Zhao smiled, knowing that he was still unwilling to do so in the end.
She clearly loved that man so much in her previous life, but until his death, she didn't even know how he felt about her.
"The Emperor may be too busy. Don't worry, Your Majesty. When the Emperor is not so busy, he will have more time to spend with His Majesty. Your Majesty must care about Your Majesty, otherwise he would not be so eager to make His Highness the Crown Prince."
Baozhu subconsciously comforted Qin Zhaodao.
Qin Zhao smiled and said, "You don't understand."
No one understands, maybe Xiao Ce is the only one who understands her best, and she is the one who understands Xiao Ce best.
The two of them seemed to be the most closely connected people in the world, but she didn't dare to get closer, always fearing that she would accidentally fall back on the old path of her previous life.
Over the next few days, everything returned to normal.
Xiao Ce was still the busy person. He couldn't see each other for several days, and she was also busy dealing with harem affairs. Coupled with Xiao Atom's company, all the emotions slowly settled down.
In fact, it would be a blessing if the rest of their lives could be spent in such a respectful manner. She had no extra expectations, she only hoped that Xiao Ce could live in peace until old age.
Xiao Ce already has the memory of his previous life, so he can naturally avoid the risks in his previous life, and can also prevent unknown things that may harm him in advance. In this way, he can naturally prevent the conquest from King Dayuezhi in advance.
That day, Qin Zhao saw the brochure presented by Shang Gong. She was a little surprised after reading it: "Why did you suddenly start a large-scale construction project and plant a garden?"
She didn't give such an order either.
March is the season when peach blossoms are in full bloom. If there is a peach forest in the palace, it will definitely be a good sight to watch.
But there is indeed no such ornamental garden in the Daqi Harem.
"It's an order from the emperor." Shang Gong answered truthfully, and asked curiously: "Didn't the emperor mention this to your empress?"
Normally, the imperial concubine takes care of these matters in the harem, but the emperor went over the imperial concubine's side and asked her to do this. She was also curious about the reason.
"No." Qin Zhao frowned slightly, feeling that this was not something Xiao Ce would do.
He was busy with government affairs all day long, and things like planting peach trees were just trivial matters to him, but why didn't he notify her and instead directly gave the order to Shang Gong?
Shang Gong was afraid that Qin Zhao would be angry and did not dare to continue this topic.
After reporting other matters to Qin Zhao, Shang Gong left Jinyang Palace.
Qin Zhao hesitated to ask Xiao Ce why he wanted to plant a peach grove and build a large construction project, which was a waste of money, but she still held back.
Unexpectedly, three days later, Xiao Ce came to Jinyang Palace in the morning and said he wanted to take her to a place.
Qin Zhao didn't understand why: "Your Majesty, don't you want to deal with government affairs today?"
He is usually very busy and rarely walks around the harem during the day.
"I'm done." Xiao Ce said concisely.
Qin Zhao thinks that people who can chat to death easily are probably people like Xiao Ce.
For a moment, she also fell silent.
Xiao Ce saw Qin Zhao being quiet and looked down at her. He only saw her glowing white side face and her thick, curled eyelashes.
He wanted to say something, but found that he didn't know what to say.
I used to love holding her hand while walking, but now I find it difficult to even do such a simple action.
Looking at her fingers as white and tender as bamboo shoots, he tried to hold the hand. Unexpectedly, before he touched her hand, her hand happened to brush the broken hair beside her cheek.
Xiao Ce took a deep breath and could only pretend to be nonchalant.
"Where is the emperor taking my concubine?" Qin Zhao followed Xiao Ce in silence for a while, a little curious.
Xiao Ce met her bright eyes, with pure confusion in her eyes.
"We'll be there soon." Xiao Ce opened his lips calmly.
Qin Zhao curled his lips and stopped asking.
When she reached a garden, she slowed down and fixed her sight on the word "Ming Yuan" with dancing dragons and phoenixes.
And she recognized this word, it was written by Xiao Ce.
I don’t know if she was overthinking it, but the word “明” that she immediately thought of was split into “sun” and “moon”. When she introduced herself to Xiao Ce, her name was “日月 Zhaozhao”.
Zhao"...
Thinking of this, her heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously looked at Xiao Ce.
The man still looked dignified and indifferent, as if no one or anything could interest her. She thought it was just that she thought too much, or that she was too passionate.
"Go in and take a look." Xiao Ce looked over with charming eyes.
Qin Zhao nodded and followed him into Mingyuan.
As soon as you enter Mingyuan, you will see a large peach blossom forest. It is the season when peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the peach blossoms in the garden are in full bloom, like a pink sea wave.
When the wind blows, the petals fall from the branches, like rain or snow, and it is so beautiful and dreamy.
Qin Zhao remembered what Shang Gong reported to her three days ago. At that time, she still couldn't figure out why Xiao Ce planted a peach grove, but now -
She looked at Xiao Ce, who was looking at her intently, "I remember you said that the palace is very boring. If you can enjoy the flowers when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, you will have a different mood."
Qin Zhao was stunned, had she said these words?
After she thought about it carefully, she remembered that she had complained to Xiao Ce in her previous life. However, she mentioned it casually at the time and didn't take it to heart, but she didn't want Xiao Ce to remember it.
So Xiao Ce went to great lengths to plant this peach grove just to please her?
"Do you like it?" Xiao Ce's voice rang in Qin Zhao's ears.
Qin Zhao looked at the peach blossom forest in front of her, and then at the man in front of her who didn't seem to know how to be romantic. She nodded slowly: "I like it."
Xiao Ce stared at Qin Zhao for a long time. Her reaction was very dull. Could it be that she didn't like it?
"If you don't like peach blossoms, then what kind of flowers do you like? I asked someone to change them." Xiao Ce asked cautiously.
Qin Zhao hurriedly said: "The peach blossoms are very beautiful. I like them very much, so there is no need to change them. At this time of the year, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, which is the best scenery. I can bring other sisters here next time..."
"This is your garden, why would you bring outsiders to do it?!" Xiao Ce was displeased and his face darkened.
