The Empress Dowager felt bad, and she wanted to explain: "The Ai family just can't bear to see the emperor's heirs wither. King An is in his twenties and has no children. As for you, you only have A Yuan. King Kang is far away in the fiefdom and is still young.
As for the princes of your father's generation, they are all old and do not have enough heirs..."
The ones in her heart are for the Xiao Ce brothers, to be precise, they are for the royal heirs.
Of course Xiao Ce knew what the Empress Dowager knew and thought, but knowing was one thing, and agreeing with it was another. Neither of them could convince the other.
The Empress Dowager also knows that talking more is useless.
She should have known that returning Xiao Yi to Kyoto would chill Xiao Ce's heart, but she did it anyway. And if she did, she would have to suffer the consequences.
Xiao Ce went to Kunning Palace in the evening.
"Zhao Zhao is still sleeping?" Xiao Ce was a little surprised when he heard this.
Although Qin Zhao has the habit of taking a nap, he wouldn't be still awake at this hour, right?
"Yes, I've gone to see you a few times, but I haven't woken up yet." Bao Zhu actually found it strange.
My Majesty has been taking a nap for two hours today and she still hasn’t woken up yet. My Majesty is such a good sleeper.
Xiao Ce was worried about Qin Zhao and went to the inner room to see what was going on.
Just as Qin Zhao yawned and sat up, the corners of her eyes were reddened by physiological tears, which made her look very pitiful. Her face was rosy and her lips were delicate and delicate, probably because she had had enough sleep, which made her look absolutely beautiful.
Xiao Ce couldn't help but take a second look, and automatically stepped forward to help her undress.
Qin Zhao glanced over, charming and unaware: "Your Majesty, do you think I am disabled?"
After saying that, she opened her hands so that Xiao Ce could help her change her clothes.
"Do you know how long you have been asleep?" Xiao Ce pressed a kiss to the corner of her eye.
Qin Zhao looked out the window and saw that it was already dark. She was very surprised: "Is it already dark?"
Then she slept for two full hours, right?
Xiao Ce looked at her speechlessly: "What's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine, but I'm hungry." Qin Zhao quickly dressed up and wanted to fill his stomach.
She was walking in front, and suddenly remembered Xiao Yi's terrible incident. She turned around and asked Xiao Ce, "Has the Imperial Grandmother returned to the palace?"
"I'm back." Xiao Ce didn't want to say more.
"It's okay, Grandma Huang is with Prince An, and I am with you. It's enough for you to have the love of me and Xiao Atom!" Qin Zhao said and kissed Xiao Ce hard on the face twice.
Xiao Ce's suppressed mood all day disappeared just because of Qin Zhao's words.
Yes, he has Qin Zhao and Xiao Atom, what is there to be unhappy about?
As soon as Qin Zhao saw Xiao Ce's relaxed eyebrows, she knew that this person had listened. She simply held his arm with a smile on her face: "Just be content, you got such a good thing from me, and other people and things will not be the same."
You need to worry."
Xiao Ce was comforted by Qin Zhao's few words.
"Yes, I got the best you in the world." When he said this, the tenderness in his eyes seemed to overflow.
Qin Zhao was amused and leaned on his arm happily, as if he was a boneless person.
Xiao Ce also liked having her leaning against him like this, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.
"It doesn't matter if Prince An returns to the capital, the emperor will let him watch under his nose. If there is any change in Prince An's palace, the emperor will know immediately. I think this is a good thing." Qin Zhao mentioned business again.
Xiao Ce's eyes flashed slightly and he agreed, "Everything you said is right."
After this battle, Xiao Yi was afraid that he would not be able to sit still.
Judging from the fact that Xiao Yi did not hesitate to pretend to be ill and return to Beijing, the battle between him and Xiao Yi may break out soon.
On the other side, Prince An's Mansion.
After Xiao Yi returned to the palace, he took a shower and changed clothes immediately.
Mrs. Hu did not bring anyone to greet him, and his return home was very low-key.
But as soon as he came back, all the beauties in the palace began to make moves.
Sai Qing also knew about Xiao Yi's return to the palace, but her health had deteriorated since she had been ill and she had no energy to do anything. Even if she knew that Xiao Yi had returned to the palace, she had no idea of competing for favor.
Xiao Yi doesn't like her, and she doesn't like Xiao Yi either. The man she likes will always be Xiao Ce.
Now she thinks of Xiao Ce, that cruel man, and feels both love and hate.
She didn't care if Xiao Yi came to visit her, but the maid on duty at her side did. Until it got dark, Xiao Yi didn't come to visit her, so they started talking again.
After Xiao Yi returned to the palace, everyone hoped that they would be lucky.
Even a beauty like Luo Shang is no exception.
Although she was the most beautiful woman in the entire palace, she found that Xiao Yi was not the most special to her.
She waited for a long time before getting the news that Xiao Yi actually went to Lu He's room.
Luo Shang felt a little angry in her heart. Although Lu He was not ugly either, he was still far behind her.
Even on the night when Sai Qing married into the palace, Xiao Yi stayed overnight in Lu He's house. She really couldn't understand why this happened.
Just when she was feeling resentful, Mrs. Hu suddenly came.
The two of them were wearing the same pair of trousers. After chatting for a while, Mrs. Hu said, "Shang'er, do you know why the prince treats Mrs. Lu differently?"
Luo Shang became interested immediately: "Sister, do you know the reason?"
"I know that. Lu and Zhuang Qing are close, and Zhuang Qing is good friends with Empress Qin in the palace. Doesn't the prince always have ill intentions towards his imperial sister-in-law?" Mrs. Hu sneered and raised her lips.
.
Luo Shang's eyes widened, and he didn't expect this to be the reason.
"Is the prince crazy?" Luo Shang said in disbelief.
Just because of this, Xiao Yi treats Lu He differently?
"The prince is romantic and sentimental, and he thinks he is an infatuated person. In my opinion, he is just obsessed with it because he can't get it. If he really gets it one day, then Queen Qin will no longer be special." Hu said sarcastically.
Luo Shang felt uncomfortable. She always thought that Xiao Yi didn't love anyone, so he treated everyone the same, so he was always looking for new things and there were always new people.
But now I know that Xiao Yi actually had such thoughts towards Queen Qin.
She had never met Empress Qin, so she naturally had no idea how beautiful Empress Qin was.
But this is treasonous. How can the emperor let Xiao Yi go if he knows this?
Although she had heard some rumors, she never expected that they were all true.
"Is the Queen beautiful?" Luo Shang asked unable to hold back.
Mrs. Hu thought about Qin Zhao's face and couldn't deny that Qin Zhao was not beautiful. She gritted her teeth and told the truth: "Queen Qin is not only beautiful, but also has a good temperament. Her methods are also powerful, and her methods of seducing men are even more powerful.
"
Otherwise, why would all the good men of Daqi fall in love with Qin Zhao?
When Luo Shang heard Hu's angry tone, she knew that Hu didn't like Empress Qin very much.
She always thought that the Hu family was powerful, but if the Hu family met Empress Qin one day, she didn't know whether she would be able to gain the upper hand.
