Chapter 652: Pull her into the water
Wu Xirou did not believe Liuli's promises.
It was only because she thought of Liuli's kindness in serving her since childhood that she decided to give Liuli a chance.
Liuli had served her for so many years, how could she be willing to kick Liuli away?
Afterwards, Liuli also discovered that although she returned to serve Wu Xirou, Fangruo had also been brought up and had the same status as her.
She knew that it was she who had made Empress Xiu Rong feel cold, and she did not dare to complain at all, hoping that one day she could make Empress Xiu Rong trust her as before.
Whether the movements in Zhongcui Palace are big or small, anyone who is interested can find out.
Baoyu happened to be this caring person and told Qin Zhao about Fangruo and Liuli.
"Wu Xirou is not stupid, but there is a time bomb like Liuli around her that can explode at any time. If I were her, I wouldn't want an arrogant minion like Liuli to ruin my own good." Qin Zhao expressed understanding after hearing this.
"Liu Li finally returned to serve Empress Xiu Rong. Does this mean that Empress Xiu Rong is nostalgic for an old relationship?" Baoyu asked.
"After all, it's the love that I've had since childhood. It's different from others. If you want me to send you away, I won't be able to part with you." Qin Zhao smiled.
Baoyu hummed softly: "A slave will not be as arrogant as Liuli."
"That's right, our Baoyu is very sensible." Qin Zhao pinched Baoyu's face and made Baoyu very happy.
In the blink of an eye, it's August 15th. This day is the first Mid-Autumn Festival since the new emperor ascended the throne, a good day for family reunion.
Since Empress Dowager Guo was honored as the Queen Mother, the power of the harem fell into her hands. And the Empress Dowager also enjoyed her leisure time. Of course, the Empress Dowager Guo took care of all the big and small things on big festivals like the Mid-Autumn Festival.
During the daytime chrysanthemum viewing party, all the concubines in the harem were invited by Empress Dowager Guo, except Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao himself was not surprised that the Queen Mother Guo would do such a thing, and the Queen Mother Guo had a name to do such a thing. After all, she had not been canonized.
The Empress Dowager Guo showed kindness to her before, but she just wanted to put on a show for Xiao Ce, and did not really change her opinion of her. Before she left Cihe Palace last time, she also said that the Empress Dowager Guo would die early. With the temperament of the Empress Dowager Guo, how could she not
Take the opportunity to take revenge on her?
"Actually, this Mid-Autumn Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet is nothing interesting. It's just about appreciating flowers. It's not like the girl has never appreciated flowers before." Baoyu said in a nonchalant tone because he was afraid that Qin Zhao would be sad.
Baozhu echoed from the side: "Yes, what's so beautiful? The flowers in the small garden of Jinyang Palace are more beautiful than those in the imperial garden."
Qin Zhao saw them singing in harmony and knew that they were worried about him.
Qin Zhao didn't take the matter of flower appreciation to heart. She was only concerned about whether Princess Yongning was among those invited this time. If Empress Dowager Guo invited Princess Yongning to enjoy flowers in the Imperial Garden, would Princess Yongning do it?
How about going to the Royal Garden to enjoy the flowers?
Coincidentally, she just remembered Princess Yongning, who came to Jinyang Palace with Princess Yongchun.
When Princess Yongchun saw her, her nostrils were still upturned, and she looked down on her. Princess Yongning saw this and gently tugged on Princess Yongchun's sleeves: "Don't be rude to Miss Qin."
"I am the eldest princess, she should salute me." The eldest princess of Yongchun glanced at Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao was a dishonest person and never talked to her. She was just curious about why the two eldest princesses did not go to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers, but why did they come to Jinyang Palace?
"Weren't the two eldest princesses invited by the Queen Mother to appreciate the chrysanthemums?" Qin Zhao asked in doubt.
The eldest princess Yongchun was dissatisfied that Qin Zhao ignored her. She said coldly: "Ms. Qin, you haven't saluted me yet!"
Qin Zhao heard this and looked at Princess Yongchun, "It's so troublesome to go around. Princess Yongchun is a generous woman, why should she be stuck in small details?"
Princess Yongchun felt that she was really generous, so she responded: "This is also reasonable."
Princess Yongning pursed her lips slightly, naturally realizing that Yongchun was easily tricked by Qin Zhao.
"Yongchun and I came here to ask Miss Qin to go to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers. I wonder if Miss Qin can give me a favor?" Princess Yongning explained her intention.
Qin Zhao's eyes flashed slightly and he didn't answer immediately.
Princess Yongning must also know that Queen Mother Guo did not invite her to attend the chrysanthemum viewing party, but Princess Yongning specially invited her to enjoy the flowers in the Imperial Garden. Isn't this using her to slap Queen Mother Guo in the face?
Perhaps it was because the eldest princess Yongning knew that she wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone, so this time the eldest princess Yongning deliberately dragged her into the water, not wanting her to be alone.
"Qin Zhao, let's go, don't drag your feet and interfere with my flower viewing." Princess Yongchun urged impatiently when Qin Zhao didn't reply.
If Yongning hadn't come to Qin Zhao specifically because he felt pity for Qin Zhao, she wouldn't have bothered to deal with Qin Zhao.
"Yes, let's go together." Princess Yongning and Qin Zhao looked at each other.
The eyes of the two conveyed information that only the two of them knew.
Qin Zhao hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed: "The two eldest princesses invite you kindly. If I don't agree, it will seem disrespectful."
"Then hurry up. I heard that there are many young and beautiful ladies here. Maybe it is the Queen Mother who wants to find a wife for the emperor brother." Princess Yongchun couldn't hide something.
The eldest princess Yongning coughed lightly and said to Qin Zhao: "Yongchun has such a temper, she is unintentional."
Qin Zhao smiled and said, "Her Royal Highness Princess Yongchun is straightforward and quick to talk to others. I know that."
At least it's not that tiring to deal with people like Princess Yongchun.
"What riddles are you two playing?" Princess Yongchun looked at Princess Yongning and then at Qin Zhao, but she still didn't realize that she said something wrong.
"Nothing, let's go." Princess Yongning changed the subject.
In this way, Qin Zhao and the two eldest princesses went to the imperial garden.
In fact, Qin Zhao also wanted to see how Queen Mother Guo would react when she saw her and Princess Yongning walking together.
Princess Yongning must have figured out her thoughts, so she made a special trip to Jinyang Palace.
No matter what happens in the future, she and Princess Yongning have the same goal, and they both point to Queen Mother Guo.
When Empress Dowager Guo, who was originally surrounded by stars, first saw the scene of Qin Zhao and Princess Yongning walking together, a flash of sharpness flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
Qin Zhao took this small detail seriously.
At this time, Princess Yongning and Princess Yongchun came forward to greet Queen Mother Guo. Princess Yongning also said to Queen Mother Guo: "My son met Miss Qin by chance on the road, so he invited Miss Qin to come and enjoy the flowers together."
Queen Mother Guo was unhappy, but she didn't show it on her face.
She glanced at Qin Zhao briefly, then shifted her gaze and ignored Princess Yongning and Qin Zhao's plans.
Qin Zhao's attention was on the many noble ladies around him. They were all young and beautiful, and each had their own merits. Looking at this posture, noble ladies from all over Kyoto gathered here.
