Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao's coquettish and innocent look, and felt so soft-hearted. Recently, it seemed that he had been a little too harsh. She had always been coquettish, but he couldn't control it when he saw her...
"If anyone makes you unhappy, tell me and I will vent your anger for you." Xiao Ce pinched Qin Zhao's soft chin.
Qin Zhao understood Xiao Ce's meaning this time. She yawned and said inarticulately: "It's nothing. I'm the only one who makes others unhappy. Who else should mess with me? I'm fierce."
The new people who have recently come to Kunning Palace to serve are all people sent by Xiao Ce. This group of people must be reliable. But there is a disadvantage. If there is any trouble in Kunning Palace, someone may snitch in front of Xiao Ce.
Xiao Ce clearly knew that Yun Ran was here today, and also knew that there was a verbal dispute between them, so Xiao Ce mentioned this matter just now, clearly wanting to help her teach Yun Ran a lesson.
"I am your man, and I can't bear to bully you. If anyone else dares to make you unhappy, I can kill her nine tribes!"
Xiao Ce's tone was very calm, but when he talked about the Zhujiu Clan, he seemed to be discussing what the weather was like today.
Qin Zhao did not dare to be careless. She hugged Xiao Ce's arm and rubbed it: "If the emperor is such an indiscriminate emperor, then he is not the man I like. Don't worry about the emperor, I will not
Not even the emperor can be bullied by others."
Xiao Ce's heart beat faster because Qin Zhao said "the man I like", and his eyes gradually deepened: "The man you like?"
Qin Zhao blushed for a moment. She didn't want to say the word "like" on her lips because she loved face. Besides, Xiao Ce didn't confess his love to her, so she suffered a loss.
"Stop talking, go to sleep." Qin Zhao simply hid in Xiao Ce's arms.
She heard Xiao Ce's steady heartbeat, and just as she was gradually falling asleep, Xiao Ce's warm and sweet voice sounded in her ears: "Zhaozhao, my heart is happy for you."
Qin Zhao's heart skipped a beat and he lost all sleep.
This was the first time in his two lives that he had confessed his love to her so formally. She even thought that because of his temperament, he would never be able to say the words "I love you" to her in this life.
Xiao Ce knew that Qin Zhao was not asleep, so he hugged her tightly, the tips of his ears turning red quietly.
Qin Zhao was also blushing and heartbeating. She was so happy that she wanted to knock down Xiao Ce and express her joy, but she felt that she was an adult woman and was embarrassed to be too out of touch.
She is still the Empress of Daqi, and she cannot be as childish as before, but her heart is beating like it's about to jump out of her mouth.
She kept digging into Xiao Ce's arms, but she forgot that Xiao Ce was a young man with a strong temper and could not withstand her pushing.
Xiao Ce turned over and threw Qin Zhao under him.
The two people's eyes met, and they didn't know who kissed whom first. The moment their lips touched, it seemed that even the air was on fire...
The sequelae of indulgence was that Qin Zhao got up the next night.
When she was having breakfast, she was still thinking about all the sweet moments she had with Xiao Ce last night, and laughed out loud as she ate.
Everyone who was waiting nearby looked at each other, thinking that the Queen looked very silly.
Not to mention that Qin Zhao looked stupid in the eyes of everyone, even the officials in the court noticed that Long Live Lord Chunfeng Buddha had a smile on his face.
Even when facing Zhao Yu, Long Live Jade had a tender look on her face.
Everyone felt like they had seen a ghost. Is this the same evil spirit from before?
Recently, everyone is afraid of Xiao Ce, just because Xiao Ce disowns him as soon as he goes to court, like a Shura who came out of hell. If he makes any mistakes, Xiao Ce will be beaten to death.
It's really unprecedented for someone to be so friendly and cheerful today.
Later, several ministers went to Xinuang Pavilion to discuss matters and found that Long Live Lord's good mood continued.
Among these ministers was Zhao Yu.
After the discussion, Xiao Ce asked Zhao Yu to stay.
Zhao Yu was still a little uneasy because this was the first time he had been left behind by Xiao Ce since he joined the cabinet.
"I wonder what the emperor's orders are?" Zhao Yu took the initiative to break the silence.
Xiao Ce went to the side and sat down, calling Zhao Yu to sit down as well.
Zhao Yu was a little scared by Xiao Ce's attitude, but he didn't think too much.
"I heard that you and your wife had a conflict?" Xiao Ce went straight to the point.
Zhao Yu didn't expect that Xiao Ce was concerned about his own family affairs. He thought of how many concubines he had taken recently, and his heart trembled: "Wei Chen will take care of the family affairs well."
"You and Mrs. Wu are a young couple. We have known each other for a long time. I think you are a good match. Originally, I didn't want to interfere with your housework, but you are my close minister. I don't want anyone to use your housework to hinder you.
"The reason. Zhao Qing, do you understand?" Xiao Ce said sincerely.
He and Zhao Yu have always had a friendship. If Qin Zhao hadn't been Zhao Yu's first wife, he and Zhao Yu wouldn't have become more and more familiar with each other.
He had been optimistic about Zhao Yu's talents before and knew that Zhao Yu would be a good minister.
But recently there has been a lot of rumors about Zhao Yu's backyard affairs. If a minister cannot even handle household affairs well, how can we expect him to handle state affairs well?
"I am ashamed of myself." Zhao Yu looked ashamed.
Xiao Ce's words made him wake up from a dream. Now that he was Xiao Ce's right-hand man, his private life had to be such that no one could find fault with it.
Otherwise, if it continues to ferment and is dismissed by the imperial censor, Xiao Ce will not be able to protect him.
"As long as you have an idea. I still have things to deal with, so please step aside." Xiao Ce stopped talking and said no more.
Zhao Yu resigned as he was told, and the moment he walked out of the Yangxin Hall, he let out a long breath.
He just understood one thing, Wu Xiyu would be involved with him for the rest of his life, unless Wu Xiyu died one day.
Otherwise, he would be a heartless man who dotes on his concubines and destroys his wife. Even if it is for his own future, he cannot continue to imprison Wu Xiyu.
He actually made such a stupid mistake.
Zhao Yu returned to the Zhao Mansion with a lot of worries. He felt very uncomfortable when he thought that he would continue to live with Wu Xiyu from now on and maintain superficial harmony.
But for the sake of the overall situation, he still had to let Wu Xiyu go, and in the future he should not pamper other concubines just because he disliked Wu Xiyu.
Wu Xiyu, who was under house arrest, did not expect to see Zhao Yu again so soon.
She was really scared during these days of confinement. Not only could she not get out of the villa, but her servants also acted against her, adding insult to injury, and even their food and clothing expenses were deducted.
The moment she saw Zhao Yu, she immediately stepped forward and said: "I will never make trouble unreasonably again. My cousin will give me another chance."
Zhao Yu looked at Wu Xiyu steadily for a while and then said: "You are my wife. As long as you live in peace, I will give you the dignity and respect you deserve. If you don't repent, I can only send you to the temple..."
"Don't worry, cousin, I will never be like this again." Wu Xiyu was so frightened that she hurriedly responded.
