Chapter 856: Feelings for Xiao Ce
Seeing everyone disperse, Xu Cairen felt that it was not interesting. She looked back at Jinyang Palace and remembered that the former Concubine Wu once dominated this palace.
Today's Qin Zhao is more and more as powerful as Wu Taifei back then, but Qin Zhao is luckier than Wu Taifei.
After all, Concubine Wu is also a loser, otherwise she would not have only one concubine after the death of the late emperor. Concubine Wu will become a loser. The ultimate fault is that Concubine Wu cannot give birth to children.
Qin Zhao was just the opposite. She entered the palace as a second cousin. She was unremarkable at first, but she behaved well. When the emperor first came to the throne, she lived in the harem with no name and no status. She was criticized by others, but now she has become the only one to give birth to a child.
The women in the imperial harem.
If nothing unexpected happens, Qin Zhao will be canonized next, because it is a matter of course. The emperor only has one child, how can he be willing to let his child's biological mother suffer?
In addition, the emperor had already intended to canonize Qin Zhao, and now he was just waiting for an opportunity.
After sighing with emotion, Xu Cairen also left the lively and festive Jinyang Palace.
Qin Zhao was in Jinyang Palace and heard everyone's conversation.
Everyone was congratulating her on giving birth to a little prince, but the excitement only belonged to Jinyang Palace. Apart from Jinyang Palace, how many people sincerely wished her well?
Her rise represents the downfall of others. No matter how broad-minded, no one can really like her and her children, right?
She suddenly felt that there was a serious problem. Even if the child was born safely, she could not take it lightly, because many people in the harem could not tolerate her child.
Even the Queen Mother Guo wanted to take away her child, and her enemies were everywhere in the harem.
If she wants to protect her children, she must have enough ability to protect herself.
In a blink of an eye, Qin Zhao looked at Xiao Ce, and Xiao Ce also happened to look over. She smiled, which was rare and gentle.
Xiao Ce never forgot Qin Zhao's gibbering when she activated it. He remembered that she said she was sorry several times and even shouted to kill in her sleep. She was also very emotional in her dream.
If he remembered correctly, she also said in the dream that Seth should die.
There were some details when she was talking in her sleep, and he kept them all in his mind. Maybe after she finished her confinement, he could ask her what was going on.
The Empress Dowager stayed until the end, holding the lovely child in her arms and reluctant to let go. Not to mention that the Empress Dowager Guo wanted to take the child into Cihe Palace to raise her, even she had such evil thoughts.
It is true that there are too few children in the palace, and Xiao Atom is the first prince of A Ce, and he is so handsome, just like A Ce when he was born.
It was not until after dinner at Jinyang Palace that the Queen Mother returned to Shoukang Palace.
After dinner, Qin Zhao went to bed early to rest under the supervision of Xiao Ce. Of course, she was not allowed to hold the child anymore, just because Qin Zhao was in confinement, and Xiao Ce was worried that Qin Zhao would have a sore back if he held too many children.
Painful problem.
When Qin Zhao heard what Xiao Ce said, he knew that he had done a lot of homework during this period.
Of course, you need to rest a lot during the confinement period. You should not be exposed to cold wind or too tired. If you do not sit properly during the confinement period, you will suffer from many problems in the future.
Qin Zhao saw Xiao Ce talking and listened attentively.
Seeing Qin Zhao being so quiet, Xiao Ce turned his eyes and found that she was looking at him absentmindedly.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Ce is not used to Qin Zhao like this. It seems that she has a lot of things on her mind.
Qin Zhao smiled and shook his head. She moved two steps closer to him and listened to his steady heartbeat, so steady and powerful.
She couldn't forget the scene where Xiao Ce died on her shoulder in her previous life. She once suspected that it was her own selfishness that had harmed Xiao Ce in her previous life. If she had given Xiao Ce a little reminder, wouldn't he have had to die in battle?
"If you have anything on your mind, you can tell me." Xiao Ce was rarely gentle.
Qin Zhao shook his head: "Little Atom was born successfully. I can't even be happy. How can I be worried?"
She just couldn't understand one thing.
She clearly loved the Xiao Ce in her previous life, so why did she choose to remain silent for the sake of Xiao Ce in this life?
Is it her selfishness that is at work, or is this Xiao Ce in her heart better than the Xiao Ce in his previous life?
It is the nature of people to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. She didn't know whether her choice was purely human, or whether her heart was towards Xiao Ce.
Maybe they are the same person and she has never stopped liking Xiao Ce?
"You don't look very happy." Xiao Ce said seriously.
Maybe it had something to do with what happened in her dream.
She rarely sheds tears in front of him, but that day she cried heartbreakingly in her dream. That kind of Qin Zhao was too unfamiliar, making him feel that she was far away.
"Your Majesty, you think too much. A lot of things have happened recently, and I just thought that I should cherish the people in front of me." Qin Zhao nuzzled into Xiao Ce's arms: "Your Majesty, you must be well."
Xiao Ce wants to live well, live a long life, and make up for the regret of dying early in his previous life.
"You said something stupid again." Xiao Ce patted Qin Zhao on the back.
Qin Zhao leaned into Xiao Ce's warm embrace, and the scene before her eyes was still the scene of Xiao Ce dying on her shoulders.
She wanted to tell herself that she was the winner in life now. With Xiao Ce being so tolerant to her and her child so well-behaved and sensible, she should look forward and stop thinking about the life that was a foregone conclusion.
Not to mention that Xiao Ce saw that Qin Zhao was worried, even Baozhu found that Qin Zhao was not that happy after giving birth to the child.
But with the emperor in front of her, she couldn't express the questions in her heart. She could only ask the emperor after he had gone to court early.
"The girl was previously worried that there was something wrong with His Highness's refusal to cry. Yesterday, when the Queen Mother hugged His Highness, His Highness cried violently. This shows that the girl is overthinking." Baozhu probed.
Qin Zhao looked at the sleeping little Atom beside her and said softly: "It's strange to say that the child doesn't cry or fuss. As soon as Queen Mother Guo hugged him, she cried heartbrokenly. People who didn't know it thought he didn't like it.
Where is Queen Mother Guo?"
Baozhu felt the same way: "The Queen Mother was so embarrassed yesterday. She actually wanted to snatch the custody of His Highness from the girl. The girl must not be careless. The Queen Mother will not give up and will definitely make suggestions to the Emperor."
"Don't worry, the emperor will not give the child to Queen Mother Guo to raise." Qin Zhao was not worried about this.
Baozhu looked at Qin Zhao's smiling face absentmindedly, wondering if he was overthinking it. The girl looked normal at the moment.
"Girl, if you have something on your mind, you might as well talk to me. Although I am stupid, I can be a listener." Baozhu couldn't help but say.
After all, she just gave birth to your little Highness, and the girl is in confinement. If she does not do well during confinement, she will suffer from diseases in the future.
Only then did Qin Zhao realize that Baozhu was worried about him.
It's a pity that she can't tell anyone what's on her mind, whether it's Baozhu or anyone else, no one can be a listener.
Some things can only be figured out by yourself.
