Chapter 745 Cool down
"From today on, I can live a leisurely life." Qin Zhao's lips curved slightly.
At least you don’t have to worry about anything before the Chinese New Year. This way you can calm down and your children will naturally grow up steadily.
For this child, she embarrassed Xiao Ce more than once, but she was sure that it was all worth it.
After Xiao Ce returned to Yangxin Hall, he still couldn't figure out what went wrong.
Although he was dissatisfied with Qin Zhao's rude words to the Queen Mother, he didn't say anything wrong with her at the time. Why did she punish herself instead?
Under the circumstances at that time, even if he believed in the Queen Mother more, it would be reasonable. Why would she punish herself and think about her mistakes behind closed doors out of anger?
There are still some days when the New Year is coming, and then it is his birthday. He also hopes that Qin Zhao can prepare a birthday gift for him. At this time, no one can see it, let alone a birthday gift.
Could it be that he went at the wrong time?
Perhaps it was because the Queen Mother had said something before that angered Qin Zhao that Qin Zhao suddenly got angry and said those disrespectful words to the Queen Mother.
"Jixiang, do you think Qin Zhao is an unreasonable person?" Xiao Ce ran out of ideas and asked Zhang Jixiang instead.
Zhang Jixiang replied cautiously: "Miss Qin has always been reasonable. Today, she is uncharacteristically uncharacteristic. Maybe she has some hidden agenda."
Based on his understanding of the emperor, this must be what the emperor wants to hear.
As expected, the emperor nodded and said, "I thought of it together."
Zhang Jixiang lowered his head and smiled bitterly.
The emperor is too partial. He clearly heard what Miss Qin said to the Queen Mother with his own ears, but the emperor's heart is still towards Miss Qin. He can only speak of Miss Qin's ability.
However, Miss Qin today is indeed a little weird. Miss Qin, who has always been unwilling to suffer losses, actually punished herself in isolation and thought about her mistakes. According to Miss Qin's temperament, it is normal to argue with the emperor to the end.
"Miss Qin is very angry right now. Wait until Miss Qin calms down in a few days. Then Miss Qin will come out on her own. Your Majesty, don't worry." Zhang Jixiang took advantage of the situation and said some more words that suited his master's wishes.
Xiao Ce thinks Zhang Jixiang's words make sense.
Maybe Qin Zhao will calm down in two days, and since she wants to punish herself behind closed doors, just let her find the steps.
This matter can only be put aside for the time being and we will see Qin Zhao's reaction in a few days.
In Zhongcui Palace, Wu Xirou also knew what happened in Jinyang Palace.
"This is strange. With Sister Qin's intelligence, it is not difficult to face the Queen Mother's difficulties, so how can she punish herself in isolation and think about her mistakes?" Wu Xirou looked at Liuli and asked, "Is what you heard about the whole truth?
"
"The slave is not in Jinyang Palace. I don't know the specific situation. Anyway, the news from Cihe Palace is this. There were many people at the scene at that time." Liuli felt that this was not false news. After all, she bought it with money.
information.
"If it's true, that would be strange." Wu Xirou thought for a moment and suddenly said: "Have you noticed that your sister doesn't like to go out and walk around recently?"
Wu Xirou's words made Liuli stunned for a moment, and then she said: "If the Empress Xiu Rong didn't say anything, none of the servants would have noticed this little detail."
I don’t know since when, Qin Zhao rarely left Jinyang Palace. This time, it was even more outrageous. He actually punished himself by shutting himself up and thinking about his mistakes. In this way, Qin Zhao would probably miss this big festival of the New Year.
After the New Year, it’s the emperor’s birthday again. Such a big day is also celebrated by the whole country. If Qin Zhao won’t leave Jinyang Palace by then, won’t he have to miss this big day?
"I also suddenly remembered that Sister Qin had not stepped out of Jinyang Palace for some days before she closed her door to think about her past. When this happened, it was the Queen Mother who went to Sister Qin first." Wu Xirou felt that she might have missed something important, but she thought about it for a while.
If I don't get up, I'm missing something.
"I just thought about it carefully. It seems that Miss Qin had a quarrel with the emperor two months ago. Miss Qin doesn't like to go out of Jinyang Palace. Is it because the emperor has chilled Miss Qin's heart?" Liuli said her guess.
.
Hearing what Liuli said, Wu Xirou felt that she was overthinking.
On the surface, Qin Zhao seems to have a temper, but after dealing with Qin Zhao for a long time, you know that Qin Zhao is a very proud woman and very independent.
If Xiao Ce hurt Qin Zhao's heart and made Qin Zhao discouraged and didn't like to go out and walk around, that would be reasonable.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it. Jinyang Palace has closed its door, and I won't be able to pay my respects to Sister Qin for some days." Wu Xirou said with emotion.
She was used to greeting Qin Zhao every day, and she was really not used to it when she was suddenly spared such a big thing.
"Isn't it good that Empress Xiu Rong doesn't have to work as hard as before? Besides, Miss Qin won't leave Jinyang Palace anymore, so that's her chance." Liuli said, glancing at her master secretly.
Wu Xirou smiled when she heard this: "You are wrong. Sister Qin has not seen the emperor recently, but the emperor has not ordered other concubines to sleep with him. This shows that the emperor does not order anyone to be lucky, and there is no inevitable connection with sister Qin."
"This... in short, Empress Xiu has more opportunities, which is a good thing." Liuli said.
"For me, it is very happy to see the emperor from time to time. I can't think too much about other things." Wu Xirou said softly: "I have always been mindful of Sister Qin's life-saving grace."
If it weren't for Qin Zhao, she might have died that time. Since then, she felt that Qin Zhao was an open-minded woman. Perhaps this was the reason why Xiao Ce liked Qin Zhao.
So she also wants to be the kind of woman Xiao Ce likes...
Time passed day by day, and it was late December in the blink of an eye. The harem was still deserted. Even though the door of Jinyang Palace was closed, Qin Zhao never left Jinyang Palace. It seemed that there was no Qin Zhao in the harem, and the harem was still deserted.
It wasn't lively just because Xiao Ce was busy with political affairs and wouldn't walk around the harem.
This scene made Queen Mother Guo feel worried.
If Xiao Ce doesn't move around the harem, how can he contribute to the royal family? Xiao Ce will soon be twenty-one years old, and it seems that men at this age already have many children.
As an emperor, Xiao Ce had no children, which was criticized.
Every day, courtiers criticize this matter. In the past, she could blame Qin Zhao, but now Qin Zhao stays behind closed doors, and Xiao Ce still refuses to walk around in the harem. Can she still blame Qin Zhao for seducing Xiao Ce?
?
She worried about this matter every day and tried to persuade Xiao Ce more than once, but Xiao Ce couldn't listen and nothing she said was of any use.
"Your Majesty, please don't worry. Please try to persuade the Emperor again." Nianyun saw Empress Dowager Guo sighing sadly and consoled her.
Empress Dowager Guo couldn't help but sigh again: "The Ai family's biggest wish now is to see the emperor flourish, but the Ai family cannot force the emperor. The Ai family can't understand why the emperor's temperament is completely different from that of the late emperor.
Same."
The late emperor was a womanizer, but Xiao Ce was just the opposite.
