Chapter 736 The second best option
Xiao Ce looked back in the direction of Jinyang Palace. There was no place for him to go in this harem except Jinyang Palace, and there was also Zhongcui Palace that he would not exclude.
He didn't hesitate for too long and walked towards Zhongcui Palace.
Wu Xirou did not expect that Xiao Ce would suddenly come to Zhongcui Palace. She was surprised and happy, and a bright smile instantly appeared on her face, and she did not hide her joy: "I respectfully welcome the emperor!"
As an outsider, Zhang Jixiang can see how much Empress Xiu Rong likes the emperor, but as a person involved, can the emperor see that Empress Xiu Rong loves the emperor?
Xiao Ce saw the bright smile on Wu Xirou's face and suddenly felt that he should not come to Zhongcui Palace.
Wu Xirou has expressed her love for him more than once, and every time she sees him, she makes no secret of her admiration for him, just like at this moment. Anyone who is not blind can see how happy Wu Xirou is to see him.
.
"No courtesy." Xiao Ce excused himself from Wu Xirou and took his seat directly.
Wu Xirou then made the tea herself. She was a daughter-in-law raised by a famous noble family. She was good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting. Even her movements when making tea were very graceful and pleasing to the eye.
Wu Xirou made tea, and as soon as she raised her head, she met Xiao Ce's focused eyebrows. She smiled gently: "Is the Emperor worried?"
Xiao Ce shook his head. Apart from state affairs, Qin Zhao also made him feel puzzled.
When he sees Wu Xirou, he always thinks of that woman Qin Zhao. Qin Zhao obviously treats him with kindness, and Wu Xirou looks like a woman. It makes him feel comfortable to look at such a lady, but he always misses Qin Zhao.
He looks like he has rough hands and feet when making tea.
"Is it sister Qin who makes the emperor unhappy?" Wu Xirou suddenly had an idea and thought of Qin Zhao.
People like Xiao Ce would worry about nothing except state affairs, that is, Qin Zhao. Xiao Ce is absent-minded right now, and the only reason she can think of is Qin Zhao.
Xiao Ce glanced at Wu Xirou and didn't understand why Wu Xirou guessed what he was thinking.
"The only things that can bother the Emperor are state affairs and Sister Qin. If state affairs don't bother the Emperor, then only Sister Qin has the ability to make the Emperor unhappy. With all due respect, I say frankly that Sister Qin has a straightforward temperament, and sometimes her words are off the mark.
Listen, but it is undeniable that what my sister said makes sense. The Emperor has known Sister Qin for such a long time, so he should also understand her temperament, right?" Wu Xirou said softly.
Xiao Ce thinks Wu Xirou's words make sense.
It was precisely because he understood Qin Zhao's temperament that he felt that Qin Zhao today was a little unreasonable. Since she was his woman, she didn't want to sleep with him, but she actually asked him to get out?
"You don't understand." Xiao Ce felt that it was a bit strange to talk about Qin Zhao to Wu Xirou: "It's okay not to mention her."
Wu Xirou smiled and dropped the topic about Qin Zhao.
But without mentioning Qin Zhao, Xiao Ce seems to be in low spirits. Therefore, Qin Zhao is related to Xiao Ce's happiness, anger, sorrow, and Xiao Ce is related to her happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy.
Although this was a sad thing for her, she was very happy. At least Xiao Ce remembered to come to her when he had nowhere to go. Even if she was just his second best choice, to her
Also lucky.
Xiao Ce sat in Zhongcui Palace for two quarters of an hour and then returned to Yangxin Palace. Soon he focused all his energy on government affairs and left Qin Zhao, a troublesome woman, behind.
In Jinyang Palace, Qin Zhao drove away Xiao Ce, and Baozhu looked worried.
"Is this really okay, girl? I'm afraid that the emperor will lose his heart and go to other palaces to find other masters, and then fall in love with other masters. How can we do that?" Bao Zhu saw that Qin Zhao was not nervous at all, so he couldn't help but say.
own worries.
Qin Zhao raised his eyebrows lightly and said: "The emperor asked me to sleep with him, so do you think I can sleep with him in this situation?"
"Isn't the little prince more than two months old? Maybe it would be easier to let the emperor know that the girl is pregnant with the emperor's heir?" Baozhu asked.
Qin Zhao was silent for a moment and then said: "I thought so at first, but later I thought we should wait a little longer."
That's why she deliberately angered Xiao Ce away.
Even though she knew Xiao Ce was the emperor, she still told him to get out of Jinyang Palace. She couldn't stand it for any man, let alone a man like Xiao Ce?
But she doesn't regret doing it.
There were so many women in the harem who hated her. If they knew she was pregnant, who knows what kind of bloodshed would be caused.
If Xiao Ce could have a passionate relationship with other women in such a short period of time, then he wouldn't be the Xiao Ce she knew.
She would rather believe that no matter how unreasonably she makes trouble, Xiao Ce will tolerate her.
Seeing Qin Zhao being so calm, Bao Zhu said nothing.
Even so, Qin Zhao could also see that Baozhu was still worried. She was lost for a moment and touched her belly.
Although she has been concentrating on having a baby recently, she still worries about this and that. She does not allow any mistakes to happen to this child that she finally conceived.
She always had troubles with Xiao Ce, and she was afraid that if she was too emotional, it would affect the pregnancy. It can only be said that Xiao Ce can affect her emotions, and she would get a little emotional when talking to Xiao Ce.
Because she didn't want to take risks, she changed her mind temporarily and pissed off Xiao Ce, thinking it would be easier.
It's just that she couldn't speak these truths, and she couldn't comfort Baozhu at this moment.
Baoyu inquired about Xiao Ce's visit to Zhongcui Palace, but she was very shrewd this time and did not tell Qin Zhao about it. No matter what, the emperor could not affect the girl's mood, and the girl's pregnancy was more important.
Qin Zhao lay down early that night, but still couldn't sleep. Whenever she closed her eyes, Xiao Ce's face appeared in front of her, so she couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried.
She finally fell asleep in the middle of the night, but she still had an uneasy sleep.
When Qin Zhao woke up the next morning, he felt a dull pain in his abdomen. Baozhu immediately found Baoping, who frowned slightly after taking Qin Zhao's pulse.
"Miss Luo left two doses of medicine when she came back last time. I'll go and get through it first and give it to the girl. Don't be impatient, she may be feeling unwell because she hasn't had a good rest." Baoping comforted Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao felt a little more at ease when Baoping said this.
She waved her hand and signaled Baoping to boil the medicine.
Bao Zhu was not at ease, so he waited on the side, ready to be dispatched at any time.
It's not just the girl who's nervous, she's also nervous. She's most afraid of what she should do if something happens to her child.
No wonder the girl drove away the emperor yesterday. It seemed that as soon as the emperor came, the girl became too excited and didn't even get a good rest last night.
The girl obviously took good care of herself before meeting the emperor, so why did the emperor affect her emotions as soon as he came?
When Wu Xirou came over, she found that Qin Zhao's face was a little pale and he didn't look well.
"Is sister okay?" Wu Xirou asked with concern.
