Chapter 544: Gradually Becoming Distraught
Qin Zhao is very sure of one thing. Wu Xirou died early in her previous life. At least when she passed through, there was no such person as Wu Xirou. It is precisely because of her early death that she left an indelible mark on Xiao Ce's heart.
So no matter how she pursued Xiao Ce, Xiao Ce remained indifferent.
She appeared earlier than Wu Xirou in this life, so Xiao Ce was special to her.
Now Wu Xirou has entered the palace again and has become Xiao Ce's good wife. Will she go back to the old path of her previous life, where she is still cannon fodder, and the heroine is not Wu Xiyu, but Wu Xirou?
Such a situation may happen, but she may also become the ultimate winner and move to the position of Queen Mother, just like in her previous life.
She had no other extravagant thoughts in her life, nor had she ever thought about Xiao Ce's love. She just wanted to renew the bond between mother and son with Xiao Atom, and that was enough.
"Your Highness, please be busy, I have gone back." Qin Zhao said, pushing Xiao Ce away and smiling at him: "I have decided to send Ruxi out of the palace."
She hoped that Ruxi's life would be different from her previous life, at least she wouldn't need to be surrounded by palace walls.
"It's up to you to decide." Xiao Ce responded.
He could see that after this battle, Qin Zhao was no longer as close to him as before. He also had to face one thing, Qin Zhao and him were gradually estranged and drifted apart.
Until Qin Zhao left, Xiao Ce's expression was still a little dazed.
When Wu Xirou came in, she saw that Xiao Ce was distracted, clearly disturbed by Qin Zhao.
"Your Highness has returned to his senses. There are still so many official matters to deal with, so Your Highness needs to focus more." Wu Xirou stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Xiao Ce.
Xiao Ce turned to look into Wu Xirou's eyes, and Wu Xirou smiled: "Your Highness is still thinking about Sister Qin, right? If so, you have to deal with business quickly so that you can have time to spend time with Sister Qin."
Xiao Ce thinks this makes sense.
At this time, I heard Wu Xiju say: "I sincerely regard Sister Qin as a good sister, and I hope to work with Sister Qin to serve His Highness well in the future."
Xiao Ce felt that Wu Xirou was sensible and felt that there was nothing wrong with her words, but he remembered something Qin Zhao said. She said that in this era, men and women are in unequal positions. Men can have three wives and four concubines, but
Women are required to stick with it until the end.
Wu Xirou may be right, but is Qin Zhao wrong?
"Although Sister Qin is good, she is still in bad health. His Highness always needs a woman to inherit the heirs for His Highness, and I hope to be that person." Wu Xirou looked at Xiao Ce with gentle eyebrows.
This was the first time Xiao Ce heard a woman be so straightforward. He still couldn't find anything wrong with Wu Xirou's words, but he was certain that Qin Zhao would not be happy to have another woman give birth to a child for him...
"Wu Liangyuan, please go back." Xiao Ce looked indifferent and gave an order.
Wu Xirou lowered her eyebrows and said, "Although what I said is a bit more straightforward, it is the truth. I sincerely hope that one day when Your Highness wants to have a child, you will consider me first, because I truly am happy for Your Highness."
I have never liked someone so much, and His Highness is the only one."
After she finished saying what she wanted to say, she bowed and walked away.
Xiao Ce was lost in thought for a moment before he managed to gather his energy to deal with official matters.
After Qin Zhao returned to Wangyue Residence, he immediately told Ru Xi about the matter.
"Your Highness doesn't care about this, so you can go wherever you want." Qin Zhao said with a smile.
Ruxi did not expect that it would be so easy for her to leave the palace.
"Your slave status has been eliminated long ago. Besides, you are my wife. If I say you can leave the palace, you can leave the palace. You help me at Yongxin Garments, and I will have another excuse to leave the palace in the future." Qin Zhaoyi
He hugged Ruxi and said, "After you leave the palace, if you don't want to stay at the Yongxin clothing store, you can go wherever you want."
If possible, she also hopes that Ruxi can find a good man to marry. Of course, such a thing is hard to come by. Instead of marrying someone like Fan Yuan, it would be more comfortable to live alone.
Ruxi waited for a while before saying: "I just want to go to the clothing store to help."
And she won't go far, she just hopes that she can still be of use to Qin Liangdi.
"Let's go out and take a look first." Qin Zhao didn't say much.
Instead, she hoped that Ruxi would have a broader vision and be able to live a life as she pleased without focusing on her.
When helping Ruxi pack her clothes, Qin Zhao was still a little sad. She knew it was a good thing for Ruxi to leave the palace, but she still couldn't bear it.
"Liangdi, don't be like this. The palace is so close. When I miss Liangdi, I will come to the palace to have a look. Maybe Miss Zhuang doesn't need me anymore, so I will come back." Ruxi saw that Qin Zhao was reluctant to leave, and hurriedly
comforted.
Qin Zhao shook his head: "It's better not to come back to this place, there's nothing good about it."
Ruxi originally wanted to ask Qin Zhao and His Highness the Crown Prince whether they shook hands and made peace, but in the end she asked nothing.
A smart woman like Qin Liangdi can handle her own emotional affairs well. She is an outsider and cannot interfere.
Qin Zhao finally escorted Ruxi out of the palace and delivered her to the Yongxin clothing store.
Zhuang Qing was overjoyed to learn that Qin Zhao had found a good helper for her.
After that, Qin Zhao discussed some things about running the shop with Zhuang Qing. Qin Zhao's idea was that if he wanted to make batches, he could use another method. At present, there are not so many manpower, so he might as well make high-quality products.
People say that scarcity makes things more valuable, so first let the reputation of Yongxin Clothing Store be known. Moreover, the money they earn comes from the upper class circles of Kyoto and women from the harem. These people are not short of money, so there is nothing wrong with charging a higher price.
The two quickly reached an agreement that they should make high-quality products first, so as to relieve the dilemma of lack of manpower first.
When there is no shortage of manpower in the future, we can also open branches and take other civilian routes.
After chatting with Qin Zhao for an hour, Zhuang Qing also benefited a lot.
"Don't worry, sister, I know what I am doing. From now on, I will never be sad for a man who doesn't like me. As my sister said, women should love themselves more, so that they can have the strength to love others.
." When Zhuang Qing saw Qin Zhao out of the door, she took the initiative to mention her emotional affairs.
Seeing her open-minded look, Qin Zhao thought of the depressed Zhuang Qing in his previous life, and finally decided on one thing.
Although she could not change Zhuang Qing's fate of marrying Fan Yuan, Zhuang Qing in this life has become very good and powerful, which is enough.
"Just look away. Women shouldn't always be confined to the back house. Although this era is not unfair to women, I think we can still live a colorful life." Qin Zhao finished speaking and went up.
After getting off the carriage, she waved to Ruxi and Zhuang Qing: "You two should take care of yourselves. If you miss me, come to the palace to see me. I am a shareholder of this store."
Ruxi's eyes turned red.
Since entering the palace, she has never cried again, and there is no one she can't bear to part with like Qin Zhao.
