Qin Zhao smiled and said, "I don't do this often. I saw Sister Wu here today, so I learned from her."
Xiao Ce looked at Wu Xirou after hearing this, with no warmth in his eyes: "If Wu Cairen is too busy, he can find someone else. There is no need to come to Kunning Palace to disturb the Queen."
Wu Xirou, who was peeking at Xiao Ce, suddenly lost her smile. She explained in a low voice: "Today all the sisters are coming to pay their respects to the Queen, and I just came here..."
"I don't want to hear excuses!" Xiao Ce interrupted Wu Xirou impatiently.
At this moment, Wu Xirou didn't know what to say.
It's because Xiao Ce doesn't like her, so whatever she does is wrong. Qin Zhao is favored, so doing nothing is right.
Qin Zhao also didn't expect Xiao Ce to be so ruthless.
Wu Xirou seemed to have nothing wrong with her on the surface, but she definitely felt uncomfortable inside.
"Your Majesty, it was my concubine who asked Sister Wu to come here." Seeing the ugly scene, Qin Zhao took the initiative to help Wu Xirou step down.
Xiao Ce glanced at Qin Zhao with a solemn expression.
When Wu Xirou saw that something was wrong with the atmosphere at the scene, she also knew that she was spoiling the fun. She just didn't expect that Xiao Ce already disliked her to such an extent that he didn't even want to see her again.
"I will come back another day to pay my respects to the Queen, but I will take my leave." Wu Xirou found a step by herself and stepped down respectfully.
After Wu Xirou walked away, the atmosphere in the room was a little awkward for a while.
Qin Zhao gently pulled Xiao Ce's sleeve and asked, "Did something happen in the court?"
Otherwise, why would Xiao Ce be angry for no reason?
Xiao Ce had returned to normal at this time and replied with a gentle expression: "No, everything is fine."
"Really?" Qin Zhao felt unbelievable.
Xiao Ce never showed his emotions openly, and even if he didn't like someone, he wouldn't just accuse others casually.
But when he was dealing with Wu Xirou just now, Xiao Ce's impatience was clearly written on his face.
Xiao Ce glanced at the direction Wu Xirou left, and then said after a while: "Don't see Wu from now on, I don't like it."
As for why he was unhappy, he couldn't tell.
It was as if Qin Zhao's attention was all on Wu Xirou just now, which made him very unhappy.
Qin Zhao said that the change in her fate was related to Wu Xirou's fate change, which also made him uneasy.
"But she is also one of the concubines in the harem. I am the queen, how can I not see her? What's more, she has been very contented recently. I can see that she is not like before." Qin Zhao felt that Xiao Ce's suggestion was a bit incredible.
.
"I know people well but don't know their hearts. I'm afraid she has bad intentions when approaching you!" Xiao Ce insisted.
"But I've only seen her twice this month. The first time was on the first day of the new year. It's the day I stipulated that all the sisters would pay their respects to me." Qin Zhao felt it was necessary to explain that it was not Wu Xirou who came to see her on her own initiative.
She has a clear grudge. In the past, when she and Wu Xirou were at odds with each other, she never wronged Wu Xirou. What's more, she and Wu Xirou have resolved their grudges.
"I am worried that you are being deceived by others because of your kindness and simplicity. Wu Cairen is not a good person at first glance. If you stay away from her, at worst, I will give you an order to tell her not to step into Kunning Palace again in the future." Xiao Ce
The words are sincere and sincere.
Qin Zhao blinked and said uncertainly: "Are you serious?"
What on earth did Wu Xirou do to make Xiao Ce dislike her so much?
"You have nothing to say." Xiao Ce said seriously.
Qin Zhao suddenly laughed out loud: "The emperor should not interfere with the affairs of the harem. The emperor should be more tolerant to Wu Cairen. After all, General Wu is still guarding the border for Da Qi. We cannot let General Da Qi feel cold."
Xiao Ce was silent for a moment: "There is not only one General Wu in Daqi!"
When Qin Zhao heard this, he felt more and more that something was wrong. Xiao Ce had always been a calm person, so why did he do something that chilled the generals of Qi because of Wu Xirou?
"Your Majesty, please don't say negative things. General Wu is an upright man, and he has dedicated himself to Da Qi, and Wu Cairen is General Wu's sister." Qin Zhao said and suddenly changed the subject: "I feel that something is wrong with the Emperor."
Xiao Ce has never been one to show off his anger. What happened to him today?
"That's all, I'll listen to you." Xiao Ce avoided Qin Zhao's eyes.
It’s okay if Wu Xirou really wants to be honest. If he knows that Wu Xirou is harmful to Qin Zhao, he will definitely not forgive her lightly!
After that, Xiao Ce returned to normal, and Qin Zhao no longer mentioned Wu Xirou. However, before going to bed that night, Qin Zhao still felt that Xiao Ce's reaction when he mentioned Wu Xirou today was particularly strange.
The next morning, Qin Zhao was taken to the shooting range by Xiao Ce again.
Qin Zhao is very interested in archery. Although this was her second practice, she hit the target, which made her very excited.
"Sooner or later I will become a woman with all-round talents in both civil and military affairs!" Qin Zhao grinned happily at Xiao Ce.
Xiao Ce was infected by her smile and touched her head.
Qin Zhao felt that he particularly liked doing this action, and she was not his puppy.
Qin Zhao is indeed talented in archery. After one arrow hit the bull's-eye, he often hit the bull's-eye later, which gave Qin Zhao a special sense of accomplishment.
Qin Zhao's archery skills were so good that Xiao Ce, the teacher, also felt a sense of accomplishment.
Just when she was grinning from ear to ear with joy, Zhang Jixiang came to Xiao Ce and reported: "Prince An and Princess An have come to pay their respects to the Emperor and the Empress."
Qin Zhao was stunned and remembered Xiao Yicai's wedding. According to the rules, King An and Princess An were supposed to enter the palace yesterday to pay their respects, but it seemed normal to postpone it until today.
There was no expression on Xiao Ce's face. When Qin Zhao almost thought that Xiao Ce didn't want to see Xiao Yi and his wife, Xiao Ce finally said: "Let Prince An come over."
Zhang Jixiang left in response, and soon Xiao Yi and Princess An came to Xiao Ce and Qin Zhao.
Princess An's surname is Yu, and she is the legitimate daughter of the Yu family. Although the Yu family is in decline, the Yu family is more beautiful than ever.
Even Qin Zhao felt that for such a rare beauty like Yu, he didn't know why Xiao Yi would leave the bride unfavored on the wedding night. Isn't this a disgrace to Xiao Ce's face?
Xiao Yi's marriage was ultimately given by Xiao Ce himself.
Mrs. Yu looks well-behaved, she doesn't look like she was left out in the cold after a wedding, she looks dignified and virtuous.
But Qin Zhao could feel that Mrs. Yu was secretly looking at him.
Xiao Ce and Xiao Yi were chatting here. Qin Zhao felt bored, so he simply took out an arrow and shot it towards the target.
The attention of the Xiao brothers who were chatting was instantly diverted by Qin Zhao. Seeing Qin Zhao hit the bullseye, Xiao Yi's eyes lit up, and Xiao Ce even smiled at the corners of his lips.
Qin Zhao turned back to look at Xiao Ce, obviously asking for credit.
Xiao Ce naturally knew Qin Zhao, and he praised it generously: "Not bad."
"You are the teacher who teaches well." While Qin Zhao was joking, he accidentally saw Xiao Yi and met Xiao Yi's overly eager eyes.
She moved her eyes away without any trace, and found that Yu was standing quietly aside, seemingly watching the scene quietly.
