Chapter 638: A kick in the face
Qin Zhao, who was in Jinyang Palace, did not expect that Empress Dowager Guo would never forget her. She had finished bathing early and was about to go to sleep, but she found Baoyu hesitant to speak.
"Come on, don't be like this. If you have something to say, just say it directly." Qin Zhao knew that it was Baoyu who had inquired about something again.
This girl can't hide her thoughts, and she won't feel comfortable if she doesn't tell her.
"I'm afraid that if I tell you, the girl won't be able to sleep tonight." Baoyu hesitated slightly.
"Why don't you tell me and take a look?" Qin Zhao said in a good voice.
When Baoyu saw Qin Zhao looking at her curiously, she finally couldn't hold back and finished speaking in one breath.
The general idea is that Wu Xirou and Xiao Ce went to Cihe Palace for dinner. Later, Xiao Ce sent Wu Xirou back to Zhongcui Palace. During this period, the two were reluctant to leave. Wu Xirou was the first to return to Zhongcui Palace, and Xiao Ce turned back in three steps.
Already.
After hearing this, Qin Zhao couldn't understand: "Since you are reluctant to leave, why doesn't the emperor simply go to Zhongcui Palace and sit for a while? Don't tell me that the emperor is busy. If you really want to be reluctant to leave, why don't you go to Zhongcui Palace and sit for a while?
There is still time, right?”
Isn't this a contradiction?
Anyway, she felt that the person who spread the news had no brains, or that this person was not thoughtful enough, and it was obvious that he was contradicting himself as soon as he heard it.
"What the girl said seems to make sense." Baoyu looked at Qin Zhao with admiration and asked, "What does the girl think is going on?"
"Maybe everyone is too free to think about these messy things. Wu Xirou is the emperor's concubine. Isn't it normal to have a meal or see each other off? There is no need to make a big deal about it. I won't talk about it anymore, I just want to sleep.
"Qin Zhao no longer thinks about these unnutritious problems.
She got into bed and soon fell asleep soundly.
When Baoyu saw this, he could only lament that his master was generous.
It seems that everything is a trivial matter to a girl, unless it is a matter of life.
After that, Bao Zhu called Bao Yu out and confessed in a low voice: "Girl knows better than you. The Emperor does not belong to girl alone. Even if he is close to other concubines in the harem, it is normal. You are the only one who makes a fuss and specifically treats girl with you."
A mouthful."
"But I always feel that the emperor belongs to the girl alone. Forget it, it's all my fault." Baoyu was also a little depressed: "I'm going to bed first, and you can go and rest too."
Bao Zhu watched Bao Yu walk away and thought to herself, what's the use of their feelings?
The most important thing is that the emperor is the king of a country, and there are countless beauties in the harem. This is an iron-clad fact. Girls know this in their hearts, so how can they imagine that the emperor will be the only woman in his life?
For Qin Zhao, this episode was not worth mentioning at all.
When she woke up, she also forgot about the episode that Baoyu mentioned last night.
It wasn't until Wu Xirou came to say hello to her that she remembered what Baoyu said last night.
At first glance, Wu Xirou's face is full of spring breeze and her face is rosy, like a delicate and blooming flower. No matter how you look at it, she looks good.
Qin Zhao remembered what Baoyu said to her last night, and combined with Wu Xirou's good mood today, she smiled and said: "Sister Wu's face is really good, you had a good rest last night."
"Fortunately, my sister is worried about me."
As soon as Wu Xirou finished speaking, Qin Zhao heard familiar footsteps approaching. It was Zuo Zhaorong.
After a while, Zuo Zhaorong came to the main hall and saw that Wu Xirou was also there. She smiled and said, "What a coincidence, sister Wu is here too?"
Wu Xirou saluted Zuo Zhaorong, and Zuo Zhaorong habitually saluted Qin Zhao before taking his seat.
Several women sat together and chatted, of course, about some gossip about the harem.
But there is really nothing to say about the harem, because Xiao Ce has never walked around the harem since he ascended the throne, with the exception of Jinyang Palace.
While talking, Zuo Zhaorong mentioned the little gossip he heard last night about Wu Xirou and Xiao Ce.
"It is said that the emperor is reluctant to leave Sister Wu. Everyone spreads the rumors vividly. Sister Wu happens to be here. Can I ask my sister if what happened last night is true?" Zuo Zhaorong said quickly and went straight to the topic.
Wu Xirou didn't expect that Zuo Zhaorong would bring the topic to her. She subconsciously glanced at Qin Zhao, who was drinking tea, and there was nothing wrong with his expression.
She shook her head slowly: "Since it is a rumor, there is no need to take it seriously. The reason why I was brought to Cihe Palace by the Queen Mother yesterday was to copy Buddhist scriptures. Liuli didn't know why, and thought that the Queen Mother was making things difficult for me, so she went to find the emperor. After that,
The Queen Mother asked the Emperor to see me off, so the Emperor sent me to Zhongcui Palace. The Emperor is not a man who loves his children, so I don’t know why the rumors turned out to be like that."
"It turns out that what happened was like this, and I actually took it seriously and thought that the emperor had changed his gender." Zuo Zhaorong joked.
Qin Zhao glanced at Zuo Zhaorong and felt that Zuo Zhaorong specifically mentioned this matter in front of Wu Xirou to relieve her worries.
The actual situation is that she did not take the rumors last night seriously.
"The emperor is the king of a country, and it is normal no matter who you are close to. Sister Wu is very talented, and the emperor is a person who loves and cherishes talents. It is normal for him to look at sister Wu differently." Qin Zhao said slowly, she was only speaking official words.
.
But when Wu Xirou heard these words, it was a different feeling, because Xiao Ce also told her last night that he only valued her talent and it had nothing to do with romance.
Qin Zhao's words undoubtedly stepped on her face hard again.
"My sister doesn't look good, but what's wrong with her?" Zuo Zhaorong was the first to notice that something was wrong with Wu Xirou's face.
Wu Xirou quickly returned to normal, smiled slightly and said, "Sister Lao, I'm sorry, I'm fine."
How could she let herself get into trouble?
Qin Zhao glanced at Wu Xirou. Although Wu Xirou managed her expression well, she could also see that Wu Xirou was not in the same good mood as when she first came to Jinyang Palace.
It was obviously something they said just now that made Wu Xirou unhappy?
"My sister has a rosy face and a pretty face. She looks really nice. According to me, the Emperor has nothing to say about him. He is very ignorant of taste. He doesn't pay much attention to so many beauties in the harem and is immersed in political affairs all day long...
…”
Qin Zhao paused for a moment, then saw that Wu Xirou's face turned even more ugly as he wished, so he stopped talking: "It's okay not to talk about it, let's talk about other interesting things."
After that, everyone tacitly talked about some trivial matters about sesame seeds and mung beans, and then Wu Xirou sat there for half an hour before leaving.
As soon as she left, the smile on Zuo Zhaorong's face faded: "Sister, you still have to be careful about Sister Wu. Although Sister Wu seems to be harmless and easy-going now, I always feel that she is not simple. Just take last night.
Regarding the rumors, I think it was Sister Wu who released the news herself, with the purpose of hurting her heart and affecting the relationship between her and the emperor."
