Chapter 309: Strange bedfellows
Xiao Ce pointed at Qin Zhao's mouth: "You can even hang an oil can on your mouth." It was so obvious that he couldn't see it unless he was blind.
Qin Zhao went to lie down on the couch and crossed his legs: "I suddenly want to know why Your Highness brought me into the East Palace?"
Do you just feel pity for her?
In other words, he never doubted her?
"You were in poor health at that time and had nowhere to go. You spoke so pitifully that I felt soft-hearted for a moment. Plus..." Some old things were not honorable after all, and Xiao Ce didn't want to mention them.
In the past, he was open-minded, but later, after Qin Zhao became his concubine, he began to care about the existence of the Zhao family and Zhao Yu.
"In addition, His Highness has ruined my reputation. His Highness thinks that he is the culprit who caused my concubine's divorce, and His Highness feels that His Highness should be responsible for my concubine. Is that so?" Qin Zhao instantly understood that Xiao Ce had not spoken.
What do you want to express?
Xiao Ce did not deny it: "Gu has always felt that you are very close to Gu."
When he first saw her, she was thin, small, and featureless, but he just felt familiar with her.
He didn't resist her closeness, and this was the fundamental reason.
"At that time, I had already left the palace, and the remaining poison on my body had been almost cleaned up. Why did Your Highness still bring me back to the palace? At that time, I felt that leaving the palace would calm down many disputes. When I was the empress, Shu Fei
When I wanted to marry my concubine out of the palace, I thought it would be a good idea to leave the palace. His Highness probably also felt that I was a big trouble. After the trouble was gone, why did Your Highness insist on bringing me back to the palace and making me your concubine?
?" Qin Zhaoming's eyes were like water, and he looked at Xiao Ce like this.
If he wanted to marry, she knew that the fundamental reason was that he needed a wife, and Daqi would also need a mother of the country in the future.
So what does she mean to him? Is it just responsibilities and obligations?
People are still greedy animals, and just because Xiao Ce treats her unconditionally, she looks forward to other things, such as love...
"Gu has a responsibility to you, and I don't want you to live outside the palace. If you become Gu's Liangdi, you can stay in the East Palace justifiably. So isn't Gu's decision the best choice?" Xiao Ce replied as a matter of course.
Qin Zhao lowered his head and looked at his toes: "His Highness is indeed a responsible man. It is my honor to be taken care of by His Highness."
This was his original intention for letting her enter the palace, and this was also the reason for making her his good wife. What else was she looking forward to?
"Zhao Zhao, don't pay attention to the rumors in the East Palace. Gu will not get married for a while, and there will be no crown princess in the East Palace." Xiao Ce thought that the reason why Qin Zhao asked these questions was because of the rumors in the East Palace that he wanted to marry the crown princess.
Grapevine.
Qin Zhao looked up again and had regained his composure, with no abnormality in his expression.
"Your Highness does not need to delay your marriage for the sake of me. Your Highness is the prince, and there is no prince without a crown princess. Your highness has already fulfilled his responsibilities to me. I hope that your highness can get married as soon as possible. If your highness has a crown princess,
I will definitely respect the princess sister very much." Qin Zhaocheng said sincerely.
At this moment, she didn't care about anything.
Xiao Ce only has responsibilities towards her and towards Da Qi. How can she tie him down and prevent him from getting married and having children?
"Zhao Zhao, you..." Xiao Ce was surprised that Qin Zhao would say these words.
He thought that no woman would want to see her man marry someone else, but Qin Zhao actually approved of him marrying someone else.
What does this mean?
"I do not hope that one day the Emperor and Concubine Shu will blame me for delaying His Highness's beautiful marriage." Qin Zhao added with a smile.
Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao solemnly, but found that Qin Zhao was not unhappy in any way, and she looked particularly sincere.
For a moment, the room became quiet.
Several attendants standing not far away heard the conversation between the two masters and looked at each other.
They could see that something was wrong in the atmosphere, but no one dared to stand up to ease the atmosphere. Finally, they exited the room with a tacit understanding, and there was no room for them to interfere in this matter.
Although Xiao Ce stayed at Wangyue that night, he had no further communication with Qin Zhao.
The two slept on the same couch, but they had different dreams.
Qin Zhao was calm and didn't feel there was anything wrong with the atmosphere. She fell asleep early.
Xiao Ce didn't fall asleep for a long time. Listening to the steady breathing of the people around him, he sighed softly...
Qin Zhao woke up early the next morning, and Xiao Ce was no longer around.
"It's still early, Liangdi, would you like to sleep a little longer?" Baozhu heard the movement on the couch and knew that his master was awake.
"When did His Highness leave?" Qin Zhao asked.
Baozhu was silent for a moment before replying: "I didn't pay attention."
Qin Zhao understood as soon as he heard Baozhu's words that Xiao Ce probably left Wangyue Residence after she fell asleep, and he was trying to vent his anger on her.
"I'll sleep a little longer." She turned around without asking any more questions, and soon fell asleep again.
In the next few days, Xiao Ce did not come to Wangyue Residence again.
Qin Zhao was also happy and did not have any unhappy emotions.
Si Bao couldn't guess what his master was thinking. When he first learned that His Highness the Crown Prince was going to get married, Liang Di was obviously unhappy. But at night, Liang Di actually offered to let His Highness get married. His Highness had obviously said it, but there was no chance for the time being.
Although Liang Di was planning to get married, he still said those words which made His Highness unhappy.
His Highness did not come to Wangyue Residence for several days, and Liang Di did not look disappointed, which made them unable to figure out what Liang Di was thinking.
Empress Qin Zhao realized that Si Bao was not in a high mood these days, and everyone was cautious when they saw her.
She simply called everyone to her: "I know you are worried about me, don't worry, I'm fine."
"His Highness clearly said that night that he would not get married for the time being and told Liang Di not to worry. Why did Liang Di still say those words to spoil the mood?" Baoyu had been holding these words in his heart for several days, and now he couldn't bear it anymore.
"It will be a matter of time for Your Highness to get married. Your Highness also said it, but not for the time being. You have to think about it, Your Highness is already twenty years old. He is the Crown Prince of Da Qi. He has no children yet. His Highness usually treats me very well."
Well, I don't want to hold His Highness back, nor do I want His Highness to postpone the marriage because he cares about my mood." Qin Zhao had no reservations about the Four Treasures, this was what she was thinking.
Xiao Ce couldn't give her what she cared about most, and she couldn't afford things like the title of wife, so she could only recognize the reality and bow to it.
No matter what, she can't escape the reality of sharing a man with many women in the East Palace. What difference does it make to have one more princess?
Even though the women in the East Palace are just decorations, their existence is an indisputable fact.
