Chapter 639 Is there any hatred?
"I didn't take yesterday's rumor to heart. After all, the rumor was contradictory. Whoever believed it would be stupid. If the emperor really gets enlightened one day, it will also be a blessing for the harem sisters." Qin Zhao responded with a faint smile.
Zuo Zhaorong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "After I heard the news last night, I was afraid that my sister would be unhappy, so I came to Jinyang Palace to see her. My sister didn't take it seriously, so that's the best thing."
Qin Zhao later specially invited Zuo Zhaorong to have lunch. Zuo Zhaorong was full of praise for Baoyu's cooking skills and joked that he would move in with Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao welcomes it, but she has no such right. She has to ask Xiao Ce for instructions on moving.
When Zuo Zhaorong saw what she said, he couldn't help but laugh: "Sister, it's true. I just said it casually, but sister takes it seriously. Sister, let's take a nap, I'll go back first."
She said and walked away with a smile on her face.
Baozhu looked at Zuo Zhaorong's back and couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately, the girl has someone to talk to in the palace, so she won't be so bored usually."
"Life in this palace is indeed a bit boring. There is no one to even fight in the palace." Qin Zhao smiled.
The current harem is too peaceful, and the tranquility is too unreal.
She would rather believe that this is just the calm before the storm.
Wherever there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and there will be disputes. She feels that the current harem may be just a false peace.
"The Queen Mother targets the girl in everything. The masters of other palaces in the harem regard the girl as a thorn in their side. The girl still feels that she has no one to fight with in the palace? It's just that those people don't dare to act rashly. Everyone is thinking of ways to get rid of the girl and get away with it. Maybe some people
They have taken action in secret, but the girl didn't notice it." Baoyu hummed softly.
When Qin Zhao heard this, he looked at Baoyu and suddenly felt that Baoyu's words made sense.
Maybe someone had taken action before, but she just didn't notice it.
Could it be that what she thought was calm was not calm?
But looking at the entire harem, she really couldn't think of anyone who would secretly plot to harm her. After a while, she remembered two people, one was Princess Yongning and the other was Princess Yongchun.
These two eldest princesses were promoted to the title of eldest princess after the death of the late emperor.
Especially Princess Yongchun, with the words "hate her" written all over her face, it makes sense that she might be dealing with her secretly.
"Let's go to Yongningzhai tomorrow." Qin Zhao quickly made a decision.
Instead of thinking wildly here, it is better to take the initiative and test Princess Yongning.
Qin Zhao is a man of action and went to Yongningzhai the next morning.
Coincidentally, the eldest princess Yongchun was also in Yongningzhai. When she saw Qin Zhao coming, she sarcastically said: "Isn't this Miss Qin? Why are you coming to Yongningzhai if you don't stay in Jinyang Palace?"
Qin Zhao smiled slightly: "I pass by occasionally and come in to see if Princess Yongning is okay. I don't want Princess Yongchun to be there too."
"Miss Qin, please take a seat." Princess Yongning said, ordering Ju Yun to serve tea.
After Qin Zhao took his seat, he asked with a smile: "How are the two eldest princesses doing recently?"
The eldest princess Yongchun couldn't hold back her anger. She opened her lips coldly: "I am a very good eldest princess, so I won't bother you!"
Qin Zhao lowered his head and took a sip of tea before saying, "Did Princess Yongchun eat explosives early in the morning?!"
Princess Yongchun was a hot-tempered person. When she heard this, she burst out in anger: "Qin Zhao!!"
"I know my name is nice and I don't need you to repeat it. By the way, your imperial brother would not be as rude as you when he calls me Zhao Zhao." Qin Zhao intended to anger Princess Yongchun, and he did not spare any effort at this moment.
Princess Yongchun was once again so angry that Qin Zhao turned livid, but Xiao Ce's name obviously had the effect of atoning for forgiveness, and she couldn't get angry at this time.
It is not a secret in the harem that Xiao Ce executed a group of guards on the second day after he ascended the throne. It was all because those guards blocked Qin Zhao's way into the East Palace that night.
Xiao Ce killed all those people the next day as a warning to others.
Because of this, she knew that Qin Zhao was not someone to be trifled with. If Qin Zhao had failed to be canonized and became the laughing stock of the entire harem, she would have watched Qin Zhao's jokes as soon as possible.
Because she knew that Qin Zhao was highly valued by the emperor, she did not dare to provoke Qin Zhao easily.
Who would have thought that if she didn't go to trouble Qin Zhao, Qin Zhao would come to seek trouble for her.
Princess Yongning saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so she changed the subject and said, "I wonder why Miss Qin came to me?"
Qin Zhao took another sip of tea slowly and asked, "Can't you come and play with the eldest princess if you have nothing to do?"
Princess Yongning was a little surprised that Qin Zhao spoke as if he had eaten gunpowder. She replied warmly: "Of course you can, it's my honor."
Qin Zhao was very satisfied with Princess Yongning's attitude. She ate tea and snacks as if she regarded Yongningzhai as her own home.
The eldest princess Yongchun was angry when she saw Qin Zhao like this, but she couldn't control it. How could Qin Zhao, a dead woman with no status, still be domineering in the harem, comparable to Concubine Wu of the previous dynasty.
"Actually, there is something I have wanted to ask Princess Yongning for a long time. I wonder if Princess Yongning can help me answer my question?" Qin Zhao played Tai Chi for a while and then got to the point.
Princess Yongchun immediately pulled Princess Yongning's sleeve nervously, sensing the smell of conspiracy.
Qin Zhao couldn't help but laugh when he saw this small detail.
Except for her bad temper, the Princess of Yongchun is quite good in other aspects. She is not so scheming, which is better than some people who appear to be kind on the surface, but are actually full of bad water in their belly.
Princess Yongning ignored Princess Yongchun's pull and smiled calmly: "Girl, just ask if you have anything, I will tell you everything I know."
Qin Zhao was waiting for her words, and then asked rudely: "When the Empress Dowager violated the peace and could no longer raise the eldest princess, did the eldest princess resent the Empress Dowager?!"
She thought about this question many times.
If she stood in the position of Princess Yongning, she would most likely hate the Empress Dowager.
Just because the Empress Dowager had raised her for a few years, but later abandoned her like everyone else, which further strengthened the rumors that she was an unlucky person.
If she were Princess Yongning, she might also hate the Empress Dowager. She felt that this was human nature.
Princess Yongning did not expect Qin Zhao to ask such a question.
After a while, she said: "Why would a girl ask such a question?"
Qin Zhao discovered that Princess Yongning had a very profound moral character. When she asked this question, Princess Yongning did not change her expression.
"I'm just curious. I wonder if the eldest princess can give me an answer?" Qin Zhao looked at the eldest princess Yongning intently.
Princess Yongning pondered for a moment and then said: "I was a little sad at first, but I also knew that the emperor's grandmother was in poor health and had no energy to support me. Sadness could not change the result, so I decided to live alone, like Yonghe.
Good."
