Chapter 533 Taking advantage of the situation
As soon as Qin Zhao heard this, he knew that the Queen Mother was lying to him: "Your Highness would not do such a thing. It must be that the Queen Mother felt sorry for me, so she gave Her Majesty the Prince a step down, and told me not to blame me, so I lied."
According to her understanding of Xiao Ce, it is impossible for Xiao Ce to do such a thing.
The Queen Mother was happy when she heard this: "It seems you know A Ce very well."
"I know what kind of temperament His Highness the Crown Prince has." Qin Zhao said and smiled: "It is rare for the Queen Mother to come to Wangyue Residence, so why don't I take you to the East Palace?"
"You're such a ghost." The Queen Mother tapped Qin Zhao's nose, pleased with her intelligence and agility.
In this way, the Empress Dowager repeated her old tricks, and just like she took Wu Xiyu out of Wangqiu Pavilion last time, she also took Qin Zhao out of Wangyue Residence, thus easily breaking the so-called grounding.
Qin Zhao accompanied the Queen Mother around the East Palace. When he went to Tingfengxuan where Qin Shuang lived, Qin Zhao deliberately slowed down.
The Queen Mother was a little curious when she saw this: "Where is this?"
"This is Tingfengxuan where Qin Chenghui lives. Today, Qin Chenghui specifically told me in front of Wangyue Residence to ask me to come out and play with her." Qin Zhao smiled.
Hearing this, what else does the Queen Mother, an old harem member, not understand?
Qin Chenghui was probably the daughter of Qin Zhao's stepmother. On the first day that Qin Zhao was banned, Qin Shuang couldn't wait to add insult to injury.
Qin Zhao is also a vengeful person. What Qin Shuang did made Qin Zhao unhappy. Wouldn't this bring trouble to Qin Shuang?
Qin Shuang knew something was wrong when he heard that the Queen Mother had come to Tingfengxuan, and Qin Zhao was also traveling with her.
She hurriedly left Tingfengxuan and paid her respects to the Queen Mother and Qin Zhao.
The Queen Mother did not exempt her from the courtesy, and Qin Zhao naturally did not exempt her from the courtesy.
After that, Qin Zhao talked and laughed with the Queen Mother, seeming to have forgotten her as a person.
About a quarter of an hour later, Qin Zhaocai said: "How about I accompany the Queen Mother and go to other places?"
The Queen Mother happily agreed.
Qin Shuang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he could be freed.
Unexpectedly, Qin Zhao quickly turned back to look at her and said: "My sister has just entered the palace, and she didn't learn the court etiquette well. It's because of the magnanimity of the Queen Mother that she won't argue with you. If it falls into the hands of others, it will definitely not happen."
I will let you off easily. For the sake of my sister, I will stay in this position for two hours, and then get up after learning how to do it."
Qin Shuang's face changed slightly, she didn't expect Qin Zhao to be so cruel.
The Queen Mother did not say anything, clearly acquiescing to Qin Zhao's approach.
After that, Baoyu stayed, claiming that he was supervising Qin Shuang to learn etiquette, but in reality, he was simply monitoring her to prevent her from being lazy.
As soon as Qin Zhao walked away, he burst into laughter.
Seeing her bright smile, the Queen Mother couldn't help but smile: "You are stingy."
"I clearly taught Qin Chenghui the rules for her own good. If it were anyone else, I would not have such a leisurely attitude." Qin Zhao had his own set of fallacies.
The Queen Mother could not say anything to Qin Zhao, "That's all, you are right."
Fortunately, this girl is not evil-minded or unreasonable. Qin Shuang provoked her, so she took the opportunity to retaliate. Such a temperament is suitable for survival in the harem.
Qin Shuang also deliberately stayed at Wangyue Residence for dinner before sending the Queen Mother away.
If it weren't for the Queen Mother, she would still be detained in Wangyue Residence. Before leaving, the Queen Mother spoke to her sincerely, just to tell her not to get angry with Xiao Ce.
Although Xiao Ce did something wrong, she was angry and said that she did not want to be a good concubine, and it was even wrong to leave the palace privately.
Qin Zhao understood that the Queen Mother's words made sense. But she still couldn't do it if she asked Xiao Ce for peace.
During this time, Qin Zhao accompanied the Queen Mother around the East Palace, and Wu Xirou did not miss the opportunity to show her face to Xiao Ce.
When she learned that Qin Zhao was banned by Xiao Ce, she knew that the two had a conflict. Although the Queen Mother intervened and easily allowed Qin Zhao to lift the ban, she thought that both Qin Zhao and Xiao Ce were proud people. Since they had a conflict,
, they won’t reconcile so quickly.
This is a good opportunity for her to take advantage of the situation.
She took the sachet she had sewn overnight and sent it to Xiao Ce.
The moment Xiao Ce saw the sachet, he pursed his lips.
When Wu Xirou saw this, her heart tightened: "Is it because I didn't do a good job?"
What Xiao Ce thought of was the sachet made by Qin Zhao. It was supposed to be a birthday gift for him, but he was delayed by other things that day, and the birthday gift she prepared was gone.
Now that she was at odds with him, judging from the past situation, it was unlikely that she would bow to him.
If he were asked to seek peace with her, he wouldn't be able to do it.
Thinking of this, he put the sachet back into Wu Xirou's hand: "Take it back, this thing is not suitable for an orphan."
Wu Xirou did not expect to be rejected by Xiao Ce. She thought that she might be disliked because of her poor embroidery skills, but she did not think about whether the sachet was suitable for His Royal Highness.
"How about I make a set of clothes for His Highness?" She was unwilling to give up and looked at Xiao Ce expectantly.
Xiao Ce wanted to refuse, but suddenly he remembered Wu Xirou's tearful eyes in his dream.
If the people and things in his dream had really happened, if he really owed Wu Xirou something...
He finally nodded: "It's up to you."
When Wu Xirou saw Xiao Ce's promise, she was immediately filled with joy: "I will make it as soon as possible. Your Highness may like it."
Xiao Ce saw the joy on Wu Xirou's face and suddenly felt that Wu Xirou was not like Wu Xiyu, Wu Xirou looked more real.
These two nights, he still dreamed of Wu Xirou.
It is strange to say that it has been so long since he met Qin Zhao, but Qin Zhao has never entered his dreams.
"As Your Highness, will I serve the pen and ink?" Wu Xirou's voice awakened Xiao Ce's thoughts.
He didn't stop Wu Xirou, so Wu Xirou knew that he acquiesced.
Wu Xirou is as meticulous as dust. After a short period of observation, she discovered some of Xiao Ce's preferences. She can always give Xiao Ce what he wants when he needs it. Even Xiao Ce is surprised that Wu Xirou can be so good.
Cooperate with him as much as possible and won't disturb him from doing his business.
Wu Xirou is very happy that she can be used by Xiao Ce and is not disliked by Xiao Ce.
It was almost midnight when Xiao Ce's busy schedule came to an end.
Only then did Wu Xirou realize that it was already late at night, and she suddenly felt sorry for the man next to her.
Before she entered the palace, she only knew that he was the crown prince and the future emperor of Qi. She thought that he had the power that all men in the world wanted to have, but she never thought that the burden on his shoulders was heavy.
Coupled with his sense of responsibility, diligence and love for the people, such a man will definitely become a good emperor respected by the people in the future.
At this moment, Wu Xirou's admiration for Xiao Ce gained another layer of respect.
"It's late at night. Your Highness should take a rest early, and I'll go back to have a rest." Wu Xirou said to Xiao Ce with a gentle look on her face.
Because she knew that Xiao Ce did not regard her as a woman for the time being, and she did not dare to expect that she could sleep with her now. She could only manage it slowly, hoping that one day Xiao Ce would fall in love with her for a long time.
