Chapter 696: Infatuated Man
"Sister looks a little weak, but she needs to take good care of herself." Qin Zhao said with concern.
"If it hadn't been for my sister's help this time, I might not have been able to survive. I came here specifically to thank my sister for saving my life." Wu Xirou said and looked at Liuli.
Liuli immediately presented an exquisite hand warmer: "This is the hand warmer carefully selected by Empress Xiu Rong. The weather was getting colder, and Empress Xiu Rong knew that Miss Qin was afraid of the cold, so she gave her this hand warmer in case of emergency.
need."
Baozhu stepped forward and took the hand-warming pot and handed it to Qin Zhao.
After taking a closer look, Qin Zhao felt that it was delicate and cute, which suited her well: "Then I will be disrespectful."
Wu Xirou felt slightly relieved when she saw that she had accepted the gift.
Because her body had not fully recovered, Wu Xirou had already been exhausted after standing for about three-quarters of an hour. She sat for a while and then left Jinyang Palace accompanied by Liuli.
"This servant looks at Xiu Rong. She seems to be much calmer than before." Baozhu said thoughtfully.
Qin Zhao agreed with Baozhu's point of view: "Maybe it's just because Sister Wu is sick and looks a little weak that this misunderstanding is caused. It's also possible that Sister Wu has really changed."
Wu Xirou's previous calmness was only on the surface. Looking at Wu Xirou this time, I always felt that she was plain and kind from the bottom of her heart, which she couldn't pretend to be.
This is not only revealed by some of Wu Xirou's body language, but also the hand warmer given by Wu Xirou also proves some of Wu Xirou's peaceful mentality.
She remembered the white jade chessboard Wu Xirou gave her last time. It looked exquisite, noble, delicate and elegant, but it was only superficially beautiful, while the hand warmer was a practical item.
As for whether Wu Xirou has really figured it out, or whether Wu Xirou is just waiting for an opportunity to make a change, time will tell everything.
After Wu Xirou left the Jinyang Palace, she went to the Yangxin Palace.
When the guard saw her, he blocked her way again as before. She just smiled and said, "I will stand here for a while and I will leave soon."
When the guard saw her saying this, it was hard to chase her away.
Fortunately, Wu Xiurong did not embarrass him. As expected, he just stood there for two quarters of an hour before Wu Xiurong left the Heart Cultivation Hall.
From this day on, Wu Xirou would go to greet Qin Zhao every day. She usually did not sit for too long, and would only sit for a short time before leaving.
After leaving Jinyang Palace, she would wait outside the Yangxin Palace for two quarters of an hour, hoping to see Xiao Ce.
After a few days like this, the news about Wu Xirou waiting outside the Yangxin Hall every day also spread in the harem. Some people said unpleasant things, but when Wu Xirou heard it, she was not angry.
She still went her own way, going wherever she wanted and meeting whomever she wanted to see.
After Qin Zhao heard the news, he felt that Wu Xirou had really changed.
This change may be a good thing. As long as Wu Xirou does not come to trouble her, she will not come to trouble Wu Xirou. It would be best for her to coexist peacefully.
Bao Zhu saw that his girl was cheerful and reminded: "Girls must also be more careful. Even if Empress Xiu Rong has changed, she goes to the Yangxin Palace every day to wait for the emperor. She still must not let the world think that she is infatuated with the emperor? Servant
I'm afraid that one day the emperor will be moved by Empress Xiu Rong..."
"The Emperor is not such a person." Qin Zhao interrupted Baozhu.
With Xiao Ce's temperament, how could Wu Xirou look at Wu Xirou in a different light because of his deep affection?
She would rather believe that if Wu Xirou really falls into Xiao Ce's heart one day, it will only be because of Wu Xirou's powerful heroine aura.
After all, in the original book, both the male protagonist and the male supporting actor serve the female protagonist.
Seeing that Qin Zhao believed in the emperor so much, Bao Zhu didn't know whether to be happy or relieved.
On that side, Wu Xirou didn't care about other people's opinions and went to wait outside the Yangxin Palace on time every day. Even the guards guarding outside the Yangxin Palace looked at Wu Xirou differently when they saw her.
I don’t know why the emperor didn’t like Wu Xiurong and actually blocked Wu Xiurong from the Yangxin Hall. After such a long time, the emperor still had no idea of seeing Wu Xiurong.
He didn't know that Xiao Ce was very busy, and he had no idea that Wu Xirou was waiting for him outside the Yangxin Hall every day.
On this day, when Xiao Ce came out from Xinuang Pavilion to deal with political affairs, he heard several palace people whispering.
"Empress Xiu Rong is really infatuated with the emperor. She waits outside the Yangxin Palace every day. It rained today, and Empress Xiu Rong is here too." One of the palace ladies sighed.
Zhichun echoed: "Yes, there are rare women in the world as infatuated as Empress Xiu Rong, right? Empress Xiu Rong was seriously ill a few days ago and almost died. I heard that if it hadn't been for Miss Qin's help, Empress Xiu Rong would have only
I’m afraid…”
As if she knew what she said was disrespectful, she stopped speaking abruptly.
One of the palace ladies was the first to notice Xiao Ce approaching, and she hurriedly stepped forward to say hello to Xiao Ce.
Zhichun and the other two palace ladies also came forward to pay their respects.
"What happened to Wu Xiurong?" Xiao Ce asked.
No one dared to answer, but Zhichun was brave enough to step forward and tell her about Wu Xirou's frequent visits to the Yangxin Hall recently.
After Xiao Ce heard this, he went outside the Yangxin Hall.
From a distance, he saw Wu Xirou standing in the rain. Liuli was holding an umbrella for her, but the rain was heavy and the corners of her skirt were stained with raindrops.
We haven’t seen each other for a few days, and Wu Xirou seems to have lost some weight.
When Wu Xirou saw Xiao Ce appear, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she stepped forward to salute Xiao Ce and say hello.
"No courtesy, come in." Xiao Ce turned around and returned to the Yangxin Hall.
After that, Qiu Shui came forward to serve Wu Xirou and helped dry Wu Xirou's wet skirt. Xiao Ce, who rarely had any leisure time, read a book aside.
Wu Xirou sat aside and looked at Xiao Ce from a distance, unwilling to disturb the tranquility.
It had been a long, long time since she had seen Xiao Ce. When she saw him again this time, apart from the initial surprise, she was now left with peace and gratitude.
Xiao Ce watched with rapt attention. When his neck felt slightly tired, he raised his head and met Wu Xirou's focused eyebrows.
"The emperor looked at it very seriously." Wu Xirou revealed a quiet smile.
Xiao Ce felt that her smile gave him a strange sense of familiarity. He had never dreamed of Wu Xirou recently, but in his dream, he had seen the same smile on her face.
"Just passing the time. How are you feeling?" Xiao Ce opened his lips indifferently.
"I was very ill a few days ago. It was Sister Qin who helped me and brought me back. I am already well." Wu Xirou said in a dignified manner.
Xiao Ce nodded and didn't chase anyone away. He continued to read. Wu Xirou sat aside and took out a book to read.
This scene looked very harmonious. Qiu Shui frowned when he saw it from a distance.
She only recognized Qin Zhao as her mistress, but she didn't want Wu Xiurong to take over one day.
I don’t know if she should tell Qin Zhao about this matter. A person like Miss Qin must have known that Wu Xiurong came to Yangxin Hall every day, but Miss Qin has not done anything yet, which only means that Miss Qin did not tell this matter.
Keep it in mind.
