Chapter 289: Leaving the Cold Palace
Qin Zhao saw everyone's smiling faces and joked: "People who don't know think you are celebrating the New Year."
But she was in a good mood. It was better than when she was in the cold war with Xiao Ce and her life had no focus. Now that she is reconciled with Xiao Ce, she has no reason to be decadent.
She will continue to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Learning knowledge is always useful anyway, and it may come in handy in the future.
"I want to eat everything, I'm hungry." Qin Zhao was not polite.
When Baoyu heard this, he immediately ordered a bowl of beef noodles and added two chicken drumsticks to Qin Zhao.
The four treasures surrounded Qin Zhao, chattering and smiling.
When Zuo Liangyuan came in, this was what she saw.
She smiled and said, "It's because my sister is sleeping with me. Everyone is happy, right?"
This matter also spread in the East Palace. Everyone knew that Qin Zhao stayed in the main hall last night and did not come back until midnight.
In addition, news came from the main hall, and it was very certain that Qin Zhao slept with him last night.
Others found it incredible that Qin Zhao returned to the throne, but she thought it was reasonable. She had long seen that Qin Liangdi was different from anyone else to His Highness the Crown Prince.
"Sister is here, please take a seat." Qin Zhao greeted her warmly.
Zuo Liangyuan's face was full of smiles: "I came here to enjoy my sister's happiness. I know that my sister and His Highness have reconciled. I am happy for my sister."
Qin Zhao smiled and said: "I had a quarrel with His Highness that day. Yesterday I did clarify the misunderstanding with Your Highness, and His Highness forgave me a lot."
"That's because His Highness already dotes on his sister, so how can he be willing to vent his anger on her?" Zuo Liangyuan said, handing over the gift she had prepared.
Of course Qin Zhao accepted it with a smile.
Zuo Liangyuan sat in Wangyueju for half an hour and then left. Qin Zhao's smile faded and he asked: "Do you think Zuo Liangyuan can be trusted?"
There were many people hiding knives in Donggongxiao. She was afraid that the authorities would confuse her and not be able to see what kind of face was hidden behind Zuo Liangyuan. She also hoped that Si Bao could help her see clearly.
"There is no rush to make a final decision on this matter. I currently think Zuo Liangyuan is good. What will happen in the future remains to be confirmed by time," Baozhu replied truthfully.
Zuo Liangyuan gave her a good feeling, at least not as disturbing as Wu Liangyuan. But it takes time to see a person's true face clearly.
"That makes sense. That's all. What I'm worried about right now is that the Queen Mother will remember what I said yesterday. If only I could turn back time, I would definitely not make the same mistake." Qin Zhao regretted.
Extremely.
Baozhu just wanted to laugh when he heard this: "That's not what Liangdi said yesterday."
Qin Zhao glared at her and simply hid aside to think about his thoughts.
She had offended the Queen Mother yesterday, and Princess Yonghe had yet to contact her. She was wondering, is there any possibility of reconciliation between Princess Yonghe and the Queen Mother?
After all, Princess Yonghe’s biological mother has passed away, and the only thing the Queen Mother dislikes is Concubine Wan. What could Princess Yonghe do wrong?
If Princess Yonghe could be reconciled with the Queen Mother, it would be considered a merit of hers, and she would have one less enemy and two more helpers in the harem, so why not do it?
Just when Qin Zhao was thinking about the possibility of this matter, she heard that Concubine Wu was released from the cold palace.
"Seriously?" When Qin Zhao heard this, he felt bad.
"It's absolutely true. At present, Concubine Wu has returned to Jinyang Palace. Liangdi must be careful that Concubine Wu will come to take revenge." Baozhu said seriously.
It was Baoyu who heard the news. Actually, there was no need to ask, as it spread throughout the East Palace.
Qin Zhao went to bed last night. How many people were waiting to see Qin Zhao fall from a high place? As a result, Concubine Wu left the cold palace. With Concubine Wu around, even if Qin Zhao was hiding in the East Palace, he could not live a good life.
So, everyone can just watch the fun next time.
Of course, Qin Zhao also knew that she would be the target of public criticism, but she was not afraid at all. In the past, she always looked forward and backward, afraid of this and that, and she was also worried that she would be a target.
Facts have proved that it is useless for her to keep a low profile. Didn't she almost die at the hands of Concubine Wu that day?
Concubine Wu is like a centipede, dead but not stiff, but she will be able to get rid of Concubine Wu one day.
"Can you find out who released Concubine Wu from the cold palace?" Qin Zhao felt that this question was crucial.
"Is there any difference who released it?" Baoyu was puzzled.
"It's the Emperor, not the Queen Mother." Baozhu understood Qin Zhao's thoughts best and hurriedly replied.
Qin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay that it's the Emperor. This proves that it wasn't the Queen Mother who held a grudge against me for releasing Concubine Wu."
Judging from her three interactions with the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother did not seem to be a completely unreasonable person. And she could tell that Xiao Ce respected the Queen Mother, and the person Xiao Ce could respect must not be too bad.
.
"Does Liangdi want to go to Cihe Palace and take a walk?" Baoyu asked hurriedly.
"Forget it, I really want to go to Cihe Palace, but it will make the Queen Mother think that I am greedy for life and afraid of death. It is better to wait and see what happens. As long as the Queen Mother does not look down on me, it will prove that the Queen Mother has calmed down." Qin Zhao
Have your own opinion.
No one else had any opinions at the moment.
That night, Qin Zhao ran to the main hall to find Xiao Ce again.
As a result, when Xiao Ce saw her, he just gave her a cold look. Where was the burning enthusiasm when he was on the couch?
She even wondered if the people on the bed and under the bed were two completely different people.
"Why is Your Highness like this? How can you not treat me as one of your own when you get out of bed? And I have already apologized. Your Highness is so unkind." Qin Zhao was a little depressed.
She thought she had reconciled with Xiao Ce, but now it seemed that she was just being sentimental.
Xiao Ce didn't know how to control his expression for a moment, he scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Qin Zhao sat down next to him, "How can I talk nonsense? Just now, His Highness looked at me like a cat or a dog."
Xiao Ce coughed twice and explained: "You are not a cat or a dog."
He just felt that this was an important place in the study. He was dealing with political affairs and she suddenly came over. He was afraid that something would get out of control. So he had to let her understand that he was the prince and she couldn't be arrogant in this place.
In the end, she felt aggrieved?
"Then what does Your Highness think of me as a concubine?" Qin Zhao asked, blinking his bright eyes.
Xiao Ce thought to himself, what else could he think of her? Of course she was his woman and the mother of his future child.
"I'm doing business, don't keep talking." As soon as Xiao Ce finished speaking, Qin Zhao stood up, turned around and left.
He said helplessly: "Qin Zhao, come back!"
Qin Zhao didn't want to talk to Xiao Ce, she wasn't a doll that he could come and go when he called her.
If you don't want to listen to her, then she can just go further away, right?
After she left the main hall, she wandered around the East Palace, and soon she arrived near Wangqiu Pavilion. Wu Xiyu happened to come over, and the two met each other.
