Chapter 475 Private Meeting in the Royal Garden
Concubine Wu looked at the cold and noble prince. This man was very good-looking, but cold-blooded. When the prince ascended the throne and she became the concubine, her life would not be easy.
She really hopes that the emperor can live a long life, and she doesn't want the country of Qi to change hands.
Today is Xiao Ce's birthday, and many ministers propose toasts to Xiao Ce. Those who can recommend Xiao Ce do so, but there is nothing Xiao Ce can do about those who cannot.
Zhang Jixiang was also very anxious when he saw this scene: "Your Highness can't drink anymore."
He has served His Highness the Crown Prince for many years and knows that His Highness the Crown Prince is not a good drinker and will definitely get drunk if he drinks any more.
Of course, Xiao Ce also knew that his ability to drink was average, but he couldn't avoid these social events.
As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Qin Zhao sitting far away from him across the crowd and fireworks. He couldn't get drunk today. He hadn't received the birthday gift she prepared yet, although her birthday gift was not
It was a bit of a surprise, but he was still looking forward to it.
At this time, Master An, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, also came to Xiao Ce to propose a toast. His daughter Anya was lucky enough to be the candidate for the Crown Princess this time. Of course, he hoped to show his face in front of His Highness, so that His Highness would remember him as his home.
As a result, before he could make a toast, Xiao Ce's body swayed.
Zhang Jixiang's face changed slightly, and he helped Xiao Ce sit down: "Is your highness okay?"
Xiao Ce looked at Zhang Jixiang with drunken eyes: "It's okay to be alone..."
"He said he was fine, but he clearly drank too much." Zhang Jixiang didn't care that Mr. An was still there, and said hurriedly: "I will help you go back to the East Palace to rest."
Today's dinner party is almost here. Qin Liangdi hasn't celebrated His Highness the Prince's birthday yet, so His Highness's precious time has been taken up by these people.
"No, no, the dinner is not over yet." Xiao Ce leaned back on the chair: "Just sit here alone for a while."
He was worried that his father would be in charge of such an overall situation by himself, and he would not dare to leave until the dinner was over.
Zhang Jixiang persisted when he saw that the situation was not good.
Master An heard the conversation between Xiao Ce's master and servant. Although he was unwilling to do so, he could not force a toast any more, otherwise he would leave a bad impression in front of His Highness the Crown Prince and the gain would outweigh the loss.
After that, people came forward one after another to toast Xiao Ce, but Zhang Jixiang blocked them all.
Qin Zhao saw Xiao Ce surrounded by crowds from a distance, and secretly thought that being a prince would not be easy. The emperor was in poor health, so everyone focused on Xiao Ce.
She felt tired for Xiao Ce just looking at him.
She sat for another two-quarters of an hour before leaving the Baohe Hall.
She originally wanted to go back to the East Palace to wait for Xiao Ce, but she didn't expect that after just a few steps, a young eunuch blocked her way: "I want to invite Qin Liangdi to watch a good show..."
"If you invite me to watch a play, do I have to give you face to go there?" Qin Zhao interrupted the little eunuch's self-righteousness.
The young eunuch didn't seem to expect Qin Zhao's reaction. He was a little stunned for a moment. It took him a while to realize it and said: "This servant sincerely invites Qin Liangdi to watch the show. Of course, it is Liangdi's freedom whether Liangdi will show her favor or not."
"It's getting late, Liang Di, why don't you go back and rest early? You don't have to go to the theater today, you can also go to another day." Baozhu answered in time.
Qin Zhao thinks this makes sense.
How boring would it be if you watched a movie and saw that your own life was on the line in the end?
At that moment, she ignored the little eunuch and went on her own.
The little eunuch didn't expect such a result. Now that he hasn't completed his errand, doesn't that mean he can't get any money?
Qin Zhao was far away this time, and she whispered to Baoyu, "Did you remember the little eunuch's face just now?"
Baoyu shook his head blankly: "I can't remember this."
Qin Zhao chuckled: "My expectations for you are too high."
Baoyu still didn't know what Qin Zhao meant.
Then Qin Zhao returned to Wangyue Residence and used her super memory to draw the face of the little eunuch. Although she was not very good at drawing, she asked Ruxi to modify it after she finished the drawing.
Soon Ruxi finished the painting and handed it to Qin Zhao. Qin Zhao's eyes lit up: "That's the person!"
"It was all in vain just now, how could Liangdi remember the face of the father-in-law at just one glance?" Baoyu expressed his confusion.
"Who said I only took a look?" Qin Zhao handed the painting to Baoyu: "Go check this person's details tomorrow and see who he has close contacts with."
Baoyu was speechless for a moment.
She actually didn't understand what Liang Di meant. She thought Liang Di was just casually asking about the young eunuch's appearance, but she didn't expect there would be more to it.
"My servant will go and inquire tomorrow." Baoyu responded hurriedly.
Qin Zhao felt that it was getting late, and she would usually have taken a break. But today was Xiao Ce's birthday, and her birthday gift had not been sent out yet. Of course, she had to wait until Xiao Ce came and give Xiao Ce her birthday gift.
She was reading a book to pass the time. Just when she was reading intently, light footsteps came from outside. If nothing unexpected happened, the person who came was Zuo Liangyuan.
"Why is my sister here at this hour?" Qin Zhao couldn't hide his surprise when he saw Zuo Liangyuan.
"It's like this. When I came out of Baohe Hall, someone asked me to watch a good show. Driven by curiosity, I went there, and the result was..."
Zuo Liangyuan wanted to speak but stopped. But if she didn't say it out loud, she felt unhappy.
When Qin Zhao saw this, he knew that the little eunuch had his mind set on Zuo Liangyuan. The person behind the little eunuch must have known about Zuo Liangyuan's relationship with her, so he turned to Zuo Liangyuan.
"Sister, if you have any questions, just tell me." Qin Zhao looked at Zuo Liangyuan encouragingly.
Zuo Liangyuan hesitated for a moment, but still did not complain: "I saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Nian Su meeting alone in the Imperial Garden."
Nian Su had been kicked out of the East Palace long ago, but he still kept close contact with the Crown Prince, especially at this time. It was the middle of the night, and he was still in the Imperial Garden.
At this time, there was no one else in the Royal Garden, so she was afraid that something uncontrollable would happen.
"So that's it." Qin Zhao suddenly understood.
It's Nian Su who's up to no good again.
Now there is no need for Baoyu to find out who the young eunuch belongs to. Basically, he is definitely sent by Nian Su.
"How can sister still sit still? Nian Su called His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the Royal Garden at this time, and chose this time today, and also called me over to watch a play. Wasn't it just for me to tell you that he wanted to annoy sister?
Huh?" Zuo Liangyuan naturally saw clearly the twists and turns.
"It's true that Nian Su wants to antagonize me, but she may not be able to do it. Don't worry, I won't be angry about this kind of thing. His Highness the Crown Prince is an adult. Wherever he wants to go and whoever he is with, he is the Crown Prince.
I also understand His Highness’s freedom and Nian Su’s scheming.” Qin Zhao responded with a faint smile.
Zuo Liangyuan was stunned for a moment, and then she laughed dumbly: "My sister is still open-minded."
Qin Zhao should be the most favored, simply because Qin Zhao has a broader mind than ordinary people, and his thoughts are not limited to a small area.
