Chapter 235: Darkening...
Concubine Shu did not expect that Concubine Wu would take the initiative to show weakness. She soon figured out that the Wu family was now weak, and Ah Ce was so tough that even Concubine Wu was frightened. Otherwise, Concubine Wu would not have come over and said these words.
"That's what my sister said." Concubine Shu replied humbly.
Concubine Wu showed weakness to her, which saved her a lot of trouble, but if she and Concubine Wu were asked to be truly good sisters, she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to do it.
No matter who takes the position in the East Palace, it would be better than Wu Xiyu taking the position.
From the current point of view, Wu Xiyu has indeed been favored recently. As a mother and concubine, she sees it, and others even see it.
Maybe this is the main reason why Concubine Wu showed weakness to her?
She thought it was too early to make a final decision, and the beauties in the East Palace were not yet the most competitive. In the future, when A Ce ascends the throne, there will be countless beauties in the harem. By then, no matter how beautiful Wu Xiyu is, what will it matter?
She didn't believe that Wu Xiyu could have the last laugh and become A Ce's queen. Before that, she would also find a princess for A Ce, so that she could end Wu Guifei and Wu Xiyu's dream of becoming queens.
Concubine Shu and Concubine Wu each had their own concerns, but they did not criticize each other.
Compared with the strange atmosphere in the Changqiu Palace, the situation in the East Palace is much clearer.
Qin Zhao couldn't even remember how long it had been since she had a good word with Xiao Ce. The last time was when she was sleeping with him for the second time. Later, she was called to the Yangxin Hall for questioning by the emperor, and Xiao Ce never saw her alone again.
she.
Occasionally, twice, she went out for a walk in Wangyue Residence and met Xiao Ce from a distance. At that time, Wu Xiyu was standing next to him.
She hoped that Xiao Ce would stay as far away from her as possible, so as not to let the emperor remember her existence again and call her to the Yangxin Hall for questioning.
However, Xiao Ce took Wu Xiyu and walked up to her. She said hello, but Xiao Ce just looked at her intently and said nothing.
After that, she made an excuse and quickly returned to Wangyue Residence.
Another time when she met Xiao Ce, Li Chenghui suddenly invited her to visit the Royal Garden. Because Concubine Wu was on lockdown at that time, she also wanted to know what Li Chenghui was playing, so she agreed.
Just when she and Li Chenghui were halfway through the garden, Xiao Ce appeared again accompanied by Wu Xiyu.
At this time, it was a long time before the meeting with the saint. Qin Zhao was not so nervous and was very calm. Later, she and Li Chenghui accompanied Xiao Ce for a while.
Until Wu Xiyu said she was tired, acted coquettishly to Xiao Ce, and wanted to look back at Qiuge to rest.
Xiao Ce, who responded to Wu Xiyu's requests, of course readily agreed and walked away with Wu Xiyu.
She didn't take this matter to heart at first, but when Wu Xiyu left, he looked back at her with a complex and difficult look. She didn't understand whether Wu Xiyu's look had any special meaning. She had a vague intuition in her heart that Wu Xiyu
Like in the darkening.
Since Wu Xiyu is so favored by Xiao Ce, why would Wu Xiyu turn into a black man? This doesn't make sense.
Now that Concubine Wu has returned to the harem, Qin Zhao feels that he cannot step out of the East Palace easily if it is not necessary, otherwise Concubine Wu will capture her and take her to Jinyang Palace, and she will have to shed her skin even if she does not die.
Qin Zhao was thinking about Concubine Wu when he saw Baoyu coming in with a dark face.
"Just now, I heard that His Highness the Prince gave Wangqiuge a lot of rewards, and that little bitch Luoxia deliberately came to show off to me. I wish I could slap her proud face to pieces." Baoyu grinded his teeth in hatred.
"If you really hit someone, it's Wang Yueju's fault. Don't act impulsively in the future. This is not a joke." Qin Zhao said seriously.
Baoyu nodded and changed the unpleasant topic: "I know this. The Mid-Autumn Festival will be in ten days. I heard that the palace will hold a Mid-Autumn Flower Appreciation Banquet. It would be great if Liangdi could attend."
The first thing Qin Zhao thought of was what happened at the Dragon Boat Festival. She felt troublesome just thinking about it: "Forget it, it's better to stay in the East Palace for safety."
"This is not certain. If His Highness goes to the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet and only Liang Di is left in the East Palace, the imperial concubine may take this opportunity to take Liang Di away..."
Qin Zhao heard this and looked at Baoyu. Baoyu showed timidity under Qin Zhao's glare and said, "This slave is just talking casually."
"Wu Xiyu is favored recently. According to common sense, Concubine Wu will not bother to deal with me. Although this possibility is very small, we still have to be careful of Concubine Wu's dirty tricks." Qin Zhao said thoughtfully: "You have reminded me.
I, Concubine Wu, am ruthless and ruthless. I have been used to living a leisurely life recently and have relaxed my vigilance. This is not a good sign."
And Wu Xiyu's complicated eyes made her feel that Wu Xiyu was no longer the novice Gong Dou Bai she used to be.
Did Wu Xiyu discover that Xiao Ce was doting on her and was actually trying to flatter her?
If this is the case, it makes sense for Wu Xiyu to suddenly turn dark.
At that moment, Qin Zhao called the Four Treasures to him and explained them carefully. The Four Treasures responded in unison, feeling very energetic and ready to face the possible changes.
The Mid-Autumn Flower Appreciation Banquet is approaching, and the list of people accompanying Xiao Ce to attend the Mid-Autumn Flower Appreciation Banquet has also come out.
One is Wu Xiyu, who has been in the limelight recently. This list has no surprises and is within everyone's expectations; the other is He Liangdi, who has also been very low-key recently.
Since there was no crown princess, it was understandable that Xiao Ce chose these two people to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
Of course, there are also people waiting to see Qin Zhao's jokes.
Originally, after Qin Zhao entered the East Palace, he was the focus of everyone's attention. Qin Zhao's favor was unmatched by anyone.
However, since Qin Zhao came out after the confinement was lifted, it was obvious that he was ignored by His Royal Highness. Everyone felt that this was related to the rumors that Qin Zhao had been kidnapped by thieves.
If this is the case, Qin Zhao will have a slim chance of ascending to the throne in the future, so what if he becomes more beautiful? What the Crown Prince cares about is that Bang Zhao has lost his reputation. As long as His Highness cares about this matter, Qin Zhao will not pose a threat.
All the beauties in the East Palace were discussing this matter privately, but Qin Zhao, the person involved, only cared about his own personal safety.
At first she was still worried that she would be pregnant, especially since her period had not come for more than a month, which made her heart hang in the air.
Facts have proved that she thought too much. One and a half months after coming to Guishui for the first time, her good days finally came.
She didn't know whether to be disappointed or relieved.
After taking her pulse, Baoping shook his head and said: "Although the remaining poison has been completely cleared, Liangdi's foundation is damaged and she has a yin-cold constitution. It is difficult to conceive with such a constitution. Liangdi will have to take good care of her body in the future..."
"Adjust it slowly, don't be in a hurry." Qin Zhao whispered.
There is no need to eat any child-avoiding soup, and according to the physiological structure of the human body, it is beneficial for women to have children later.
The dust has settled on this matter, and she is relaxed anyway. If she is pregnant at this time, she will definitely be pushed to the forefront, so this is a good thing.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xiao Ce took Wu Xiyu and He Liangdi to the flower-viewing banquet.
