Qin Zhao was speechless for a moment and wanted to say that happiness alone is not as good as happiness among everyone, but seeing Xiao Ce's gloomy face, she couldn't say anything.
"Tell the truth, do you like this garden?" Xiao Ce got to the point.
"I like it." Qin Zhao replied.
This is the first time Xiao Ce has done something like this to please her, so naturally he likes it. How can he not like something given by the man he likes?
"But don't do such a thing next time. It's not good to let people know about it. The emperor is a wise king, but you can't..." She was talking endlessly, but she met Xiao Ce's eyes that disagreed.
"You are my woman, what do I want to do depends on other people's faces?" Xiao Ce said and changed the subject: "I will take you for a walk in the garden."
Qin Zhao looked at his tall and slender figure, and the corners of his lips curved upward unconsciously.
"Follow me!" As soon as Xiao Ce opened his mouth, he felt that his tone was not good, so he lowered his voice: "Zhaozhao, come here to me."
Qin Zhao smiled and followed Xiao Ce.
Xiao Ce looked at her little hand, which was as soft as white jade. After struggling several times, he tried to hold her hand again.
At first he only touched her fingers, but she didn't dodge. Then he tried to lift her fingers, but she still didn't dodge. Then he simply held her whole hand.
Qin Zhao pursed his lips and snickered. This time, he could clearly see that he was testing him bit by bit. How could there be such an awkward man? It took so long to even hold hands and test?
Xiao Ce finally took Qin Zhao's soft little hand. He breathed a sigh of relief and was very satisfied at the same time. This kind of satisfaction could not be expressed in words. He unconsciously clenched that smooth little hand, as if he was holding the whole world.
…
Qin Zhao's attention seemed to be focused on the peach blossom forest where the fallen flowers were blooming, but the presence of the man beside her was so strong that her mind was always troubled and she would look at him again unconsciously.
He looked serious as before, with a cold expression on his face, but the heat in his palms made her unable to ignore it.
In fact, she didn't quite understand why he suddenly built such a peach blossom forest. He never liked to waste time on such trivial matters. To him, doing such a thing for a woman was absolutely meaningless.
He just did this meaningless thing, wasting energy and money. Does this count as trying to please her?
While Qin Zhao was peeking at Xiao Ce, Xiao Ce suddenly looked over and asked, "Does the peach blossom look good?"
Qin Zhao nodded lightly: "It looks good, Your Majesty took the trouble."
"As long as you like it." It was the first time for Xiao Ce to do something to please a woman, and he was actually scared because he was afraid that she wouldn't like it.
"I will bring you over to see the flowers tomorrow." Xiao Ce said again.
Qin Zhao slowed down and said, "It doesn't matter. If I want to come, I can come alone. The emperor is busy with business."
How can I keep him by my side all the time?
Xiao Ce frowned and looked at her, wishing she was like that in her previous life.
It was all because of him that she became like this. It was because he did not give her enough confidence, and it was also because he had reprimanded her again and again in her previous life, which made her become so stable.
He wanted to ask her if she was complaining about him, but he couldn't ask her.
Qin Zhao considered his words and then said after a while: "What I said is psychological. The emperor's diligence and love for the people are the blessings of the people. In the past... I was ignorant, and I only pretended to be affectionate for my children. I also brought a lot to the emperor.
trouble--"
"Qin Zhao, you didn't cause me any trouble." Xiao Ce interrupted Qin Zhao: "I once thought that there was still a lot of time and I could take my time, but on the contrary, a person's life is not that long. I will wake up later.
By that time, it was already too late.”
Now he wants to do something that he never did for her in his previous life when it's too late.
There are so many things she likes, but he is a busy emperor and can give her too little time.
"I have always been sorry for you." Xiao Ce's voice was hoarse.
Qin Zhao hurriedly shook his head: "Of course not, the emperor has never sorry for my concubine."
Apart from her face, Concubine Qin in her previous life didn't have much that made a man like her. If Xiao Ce didn't have a romantic relationship with her, it can only be said that she wasn't to his liking.
Apart from that, he never owed her anything. He gave her glory, wealth, and such a good child.
It's just that he died young and when she first knew he would never come back, she complained about him and had some regrets.
"I like the new and dislike the old. Although the peach blossom forest is beautiful, there is no need to see it every day." Qin Zhao meant that there is no need to take time to come to the peach garden to accompany her tomorrow.
"But the peach blossom period has passed quickly. If you don't look now, you have to wait until next year." Xiao Ce's eyes were lingering.
"That's okay. There are other flowers besides peach blossoms. What's the point of looking at peach blossoms every day?" Qin Zhao said and smiled: "Anyway, I really like the surprise prepared by the emperor."
The most important thing is Xiao Ce's intention.
She always wondered if Xiao Ce in the previous life also had feelings for her. Now that she thinks about it, this is for sure, right? It's just that he is so slow to warm up, and he might not even know that he has feelings for her.
She couldn't remember what she said in her previous life, but he still remembered it after a lifetime, so he prepared the garden in just a few days.
Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao's smiling brows and felt that she was more dazzling and brighter than the burning peach blossoms on the branches.
The big stone hanging in his heart was relieved. He was so afraid that she would never smile at him again.
"You really like it?" Xiao Ce picked off the petals from Qin Zhao's hair, his brows and eyes couldn't help showing tenderness.
"I like it very much, I don't like lying." Qin Zhao said, suddenly standing on his toes, and without warning, he pressed a kiss on his Adam's apple.
She had wanted to do this for a long time and had been holding on, and finally got the chance today.
After pressing a kiss, she quickly pulled away, took her hand out of his palm, and ran to the foot of the peach blossom tree.
Xiao Ce stood there, and when he touched his neck, he felt that the soft touch of her lips was still there, soft and numb.
Qin Zhao had already run away, walking forward lightly under the rain of flowers, like a fairy among the flowers, which was fascinating.
"Didn't the Emperor say that he would accompany his concubines to enjoy the flowers?" Qin Zhao smiled brightly and waved to Xiao Ce under the flowers.
Only then did Xiao Ce react. He took three steps and two steps at a time, and soon arrived in front of her. He grabbed the back of her head with his palm, pressed her against the peach blossom tree, and poured hot kisses on her face like rain...
…
It seemed like a century had passed before Qin Zhao could breathe freely. She leaned weakly in Xiao Ce's arms, her face flushed and she was panting.
The way he kissed her just now was as if he wanted to swallow her whole. It was so scary.
She just leaned on his chest and could hear his frantic heartbeat.
So isn't the answer obvious?
He liked her very much, just like she liked him.
