Chapter 360 Jealousy
"Okay!" Qin Zhao said happily.
Now she doesn't even dare to leave the East Palace, nor does she dare to go to Cihe Palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager, just because Concubine Wu is eyeing her in the harem.
To be on the safe side, it's better to stay in the East Palace for safety.
Seeing that Qin Zhao liked her, Xiao Ce asked Zhang Jixiang to go to Yonghe Zhai and invite Princess Yonghe over.
Qin Zhao took the opportunity to sit on Xiao Ce's lap. Xiao Ce didn't notice this detail at first. By the time he realized something was wrong, the girl had been sitting for a while.
"Sit down or not?" Xiao Ce put Qin Zhao back on the edge of the couch and sat down.
Qin Zhao hummed and glanced at Nian Su, who was standing at the door. She was so close to Xiao Ce just now. Nian Su must have been jealous and crazy, just like how she was jealous of Nian Su being Xiao Ce's personal attendant in her previous life.
In fact, Qin Zhao did understand all of Nian Su's mental processes.
Although she had been mentally prepared, the facts she saw and heard at close range made her feel sour.
Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in his previous life was special to Qin Zhao, he would never indulge Qin Zhao unconditionally.
But His Highness the Crown Prince in this life is just the opposite. His Highness the Crown Prince will give Qin Zhao whatever he wants, without any bottom line.
Now he actually allowed Qin Zhao to sit on his lap in broad daylight and was reluctant to criticize Qin Zhao even a word. How could he still be the cold and ruthless king she knew?
She was sad inside, but she still pretended to be expressionless and said she didn't care. In fact, her heart had long been eaten away by jealousy...
When Princess Yonghe arrived, she saw Nian Su standing at the door from a distance, with an expressionless face, which was inexplicably eye-catching.
She glanced at Niansu one more time when she passed by Niansu. Niansu woke up from a dream and hurriedly greeted Princess Yonghe: "I respectfully greet Princess Yonghe!"
"No gift." Princess Yonghe looked at Niansu again before entering the room.
Qin Zhaozheng was leaning on Xiao Ce's shoulder and talking. The scene was very warm. Seeing her coming, Qin Zhao immediately jumped up and said, "Princess is here? I'll take the princess to Wangyue Residence for a walk."
After saying that, she left Xiao Ce and walked away holding Princess Yonghe's hand.
Xiao Ce couldn't help but shake his head when he saw this scene. This girl really forgot about Yonghe's existence after she had him. He didn't know whether to be grateful that she didn't cling to him, or to lament that in her heart, he was not that important.
After walking out of Wangyue Residence, Nian Su, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "Why do you think Qin Liangdi likes Princess Yonghe more than His Highness?"
Xiao Ce slowed down after hearing this and looked at Nian Su.
Nian Su hurriedly added: "This slave is just telling you nonsense. Your Highness, please don't take it seriously."
Xiao Ce frowned slightly and said nothing.
Niansu peeked at Xiao Ce's expression, but couldn't see any clues. She didn't know if His Highness the Crown Prince had heard what she just said. As long as His Highness believed that Qin Zhao didn't care about His Highness the Crown Prince, he could probably provoke a fight between Qin Zhao and His Highness.
conflicts between.
After returning to the main hall, Nian Su found that Xiao Ce was not paying attention, apparently affected by her intentional words.
She was happy and sad at the same time.
It is precisely because he cares about Qin Zhao that His Highness the Crown Prince cares that Qin Zhao does not care about him that much, and His Highness was not a man who loved his children before.
I don’t know since when, Qin Zhao has become a particularly important woman in the life of His Royal Highness.
Qin Zhao, who lives in the house of Wangyue, has no idea that Nian Sushuang is trying to instigate a relationship between her and Xiao Ce.
She took Princess Yonghe around the Wangyue Residence, and then asked, "Would the princess feel bored?"
Princess Yonghe smiled: "Of course not! I'm always so happy when I'm with you. No wonder the prince likes you, and I like you too."
Qin Zhao was very happy when he heard this: "I also like the princess, and I also like His Highness the Crown Prince, and I also like the Queen Mother."
As for the emperor who only doted on Concubine Wu, forget it.
At first hearing Qin Zhao mention the Queen Mother, Princess Yonghe hesitated to speak.
Qin Zhao immediately understood that he and the princess wanted to ask her if she had mentioned the death of Concubine Wan to the Queen Mother.
She pretended not to know what Princess Yonghe was thinking, and quickly diverted Princess Yonghe's attention with other things.
There are no witnesses to Concubine Wan's death, only the square handkerchief, but the evidence from the handkerchief points to the Queen Mother. Although they suspected that Concubine Wu had killed Concubine Wan, they could not accuse Wu because there was no other more practical evidence.
Royal concubine.
The Queen Mother has recently been looking for the palace servants and chamberlains who served Concubine Wan in the past, but most of those people are dead. They may have been silenced, or they may have escaped from the palace.
As long as we can find a valet who has served Concubine Wan, we may be able to find a breakthrough.
Before that, they couldn't alert Concubine Wu and make her suspicious.
Princess Yonghe saw that Qin Zhao wanted to learn female beauty, so she spared no effort to teach Qin Zhao.
Although Qin Zhao does not have any talent in this area, he is better than having an open mind to learn.
As a result, Princess Yonghe stayed in Wangyue Residence for a whole day before leaving the East Palace. Qin Zhao was sore all over and felt that embroidery was not a job for humans. She now particularly admires those embroiderers who can sit still.
That night, Xiao Ce came to Wangyue Residence again. He worked very hard, hoping that a miracle would happen and that Qin Zhao could be pregnant with a child and relieve the East Palace's worries.
Of course, Qin Zhao also knew why Xiao Ce worked so hard. It was precisely because of knowing that she felt tired both mentally and physically.
This matter of giving birth to a child really cannot be done in a hurry. She couldn't bear to throw cold water on Xiao Ce, but suddenly she hoped that Xiao Ce could marry the crown princess as soon as possible.
In this case, he doesn't need to place his hopes of having children on her.
She was afraid that her body had been damaged irreversibly and that she would never be able to give birth to a child.
But she also had to admit that she couldn't bear to see Xiao Ce get a wife, let alone other women giving birth to children for him...
The next day, Baozhu found that Qin Zhao's mood was even lower than the previous day. She volunteered: "Slave, please go and invite Princess Yonghe to come and play?"
Qin Zhao stopped her: "I just came yesterday, let her have a quiet day today. Maybe I didn't sleep enough, so I'm not in good spirits."
She was thinking that it would have been better if Xiao Ce had not insisted on keeping her in the East Palace. In this case, she would not have to face such a predicament now, and Xiao Ce would not have to count on her.
She had never thought that women were tools for carrying on the family line before, but now it was tragic that a woman who could not give birth to a child had become a problem for everyone.
She sharply noticed that Baoyu wanted to slip away again, and raised her lips and said: "Baoyu, if you dare to talk in front of His Highness, you will serve His Highness from now on!"
Baoyu suddenly stopped carrying her out, and she hurriedly returned to Qin Zhao, "I don't dare to do it anymore."
There was no smile on Qin Zhao's face: "You have advantages, but you also have a big shortcoming, that is, you are self-righteous. Next time you make your own decisions like this, leave Wangyue Residence!"
