Chapter 973 Become friends
Qin Zhao was used to this and was not surprised.
Xiao Ce's reaction is only natural. After all, he has an old-fashioned temperament and indulged himself during the day. It seems reasonable that he cannot accept his change.
She didn't believe it anymore, and he didn't plan to see her on New Year's Day, which was a day for family reunion.
"If the emperor doesn't come, it seems that the empress will not be unhappy." Bao Lan whispered to Bao Hong: "The empress is really open-minded."
If it were other concubines in the harem, they would probably be sad again?
"Why is your Majesty unhappy? Your Majesty is a very busy man, and rarely walks around the harem. Occasionally, he gives your Majesty a little free time. This time the Emperor was angry, and your Majesty also said it. As long as the Emperor wants to understand, he will
It's the same as usual." It was Bao Zhu who answered.
She didn't understand what was so difficult about this kind of thing. The empress was not like other concubines in the harem who only relied on the emperor to survive, and the empress was not the kind of woman who could not live without the emperor.
The empress is very independent and will find her own fun.
"Your Majesty is the most special woman I have ever seen. Your Majesty will never let go of your Majesty." Baohong looked towards Qin Zhao in her heart, and naturally felt that Qin Zhao was good at everything.
Baolan echoed: "Yes, the emperor sees the empress being nervous today, which means that in front of the empress, the emperor is just an ordinary man."
It is precisely because the emperor regards the empress as one of his own that he has the joy, anger, sorrow and joy of ordinary people.
Qin Zhao saw that the three treasures were discussing this matter, and felt that women were still gossips after all.
Inside the Yangxin Hall.
It was rare to find time at the end of the year, and he had already taken a break. Xiao Ce, who had been busy for a whole year, finally had some free time. But he didn't want to find Qin Zhao, so besides Jinyang Palace, he didn't know where else to go.
It was Zhang Jixiang who made the suggestion and asked him if he wanted to go to Zhongcui Palace.
Xiao Ce didn't say anything, and went directly to Zhongcui Palace.
When Wu Xirou heard that Xiao Ce was coming, she was overjoyed. She stepped forward to pick him up and then led Xiao Ce inside: "Your Majesty has arrived just in time. I have just made a pot of hot tea."
Xiao Ce smelled the aroma of tea and immediately knew that it was his favorite: "Longjing before the rain."
I didn't expect Wu Xirou to make this pot of tea, as if she knew he would come.
He looked at Wu Xirou and met Wu Xirou's gentle brows and eyes.
"I thought that if the emperor was free, he might come to my place for a walk, so I made this pot of tea in advance. Just as I was thinking this, the emperor came."
It was as if there was a connection between her and Xiao Ce.
Xiao Ce sat down alone, took a sip of tea, and felt the taste of tea lingering on his tongue: "Good tea."
"As long as the emperor likes it." Wu Xirou smiled with satisfaction.
She really doesn't want much. As long as Xiao Ce comes to see her when he thinks of her occasionally, and has the opportunity to sit face to face with him and talk, she will be satisfied for the rest of her life.
Xiao Ce didn't say anything after that, but occasionally poured himself a glass of wine, as if he had something on his mind.
What a shrewd woman Wu Xirou is? She can see through Xiao Ce's absent-mindedness at a glance.
"The Emperor is thinking about Sister Qin, right?" Wu Xirou broke the silence and felt her heart tightening in an instant.
The man she loved most was right across the street. He was right in front of her, but she was thinking about another woman. She knew this deeply, but she was powerless.
Xiao Ce waited for a while before saying: "It's just that there are some things that I can't figure out."
He couldn't figure out why he was so rational and fell into Qin Zhao's gentle land. If Qin Zhao was a legendary witch, he would probably become a faint king who only valued beauty. Fortunately, Qin Zhao was not.
"Just put aside the things that you can't figure out for the time being. I know, my concubine, that the things that the emperor can't figure out actually have something to do with my sister, right?" Wu Xirou said in a brisk tone.
Xiao Ce glanced at Wu Xirou, but did not deny it.
"The emperor devotes all his attention to state affairs, and occasionally gets troubled by private matters. It must be because of Sister Qin." Wu Xirou added firmly.
In this regard, Xiao Ce is not good at hiding himself, or in other words, Xiao Ce has never thought of hiding his feelings for Qin Zhao.
"Really?" Xiao Ce murmured silently.
If Wu Xirou hadn't said anything, he wouldn't have noticed this.
So apart from state affairs, he was only interested in Qin Zhao, and only Qin Zhao could affect his emotions. As a king, he felt that this might not be a good thing, but if that person was Qin Zhao, he felt that there was no need to be too entangled.
"The Emperor always has Sister Qin in his heart, which is actually a good thing. With the Emperor's temperament, if he doesn't meet someone as transparent as Sister Qin, the Emperor may not open up to him." Wu Xirou said this with emotion.
Because in the previous life, Xiao Ce had similar interests as her, but he was too cold-hearted and did not have the warmth of an ordinary person like he does now. This is Qin Zhao's ability to make people like Xiao Ce more humane.
It was because of her past life memories that she had seen Xiao Ce at his most ruthless, so she knew how good Xiao Ce was now.
"What you said makes sense." Xiao Ce looked at Wu Xiju and said, "Qin Zhao told me that feelings should be one-on-one, so I will never have feelings for other women except her."
The way Wu Xirou looked at him told him that he had to say something clearly.
"I don't want to get involved between the emperor and Sister Qin, but I can't control the fact that I like the emperor. There is no need for the emperor to feel pressure. This is just my personal matter. The emperor will not be sorry for sister Qin, nor can I.
I will not be sorry to Sister Qin, but I will not be sorry to myself either." Wu Xirou said firmly: "I feel very lucky to be able to drink tea with the emperor like this. Otherwise, the emperor will treat me as a friend, so
The emperor will no longer have any pressure."
Xiao Ce was speechless for a moment.
Wu Xirou was stubborn. He wanted to persuade her to turn back in time, but she was full of nonsense.
However, Zhong Cuigong still gained something this time. Wu Xirou's words made him think about one thing. It was a good thing that Qin Zhao had a great influence on him. There was no need for him to resist too much and just let nature take its course.
"The emperor's heart is not here. Let's do this. I just want to go to Jinyang Palace, and the emperor will accompany me." Wu Xirou suggested again.
Since Xiao Ce's heart is not here, it is better to take Xiao Ce to where he wants to go and meet the people he wants to see.
Xiao Ce happened to want to see Qin Zhao, and after hearing what Wu Xirou said, he hit it off with her.
In this way, the two of them left Zhongcui Palace and went directly to Jinyang Palace.
Qin Zhao was still indoors when he heard the footsteps of the two people approaching. Not long after, Zhang Jixiang's sharp voice rang out: "The Emperor has arrived!"
Zhang Jixiang's voice was so loud that Qin Zhao had no choice but to lead the crowd to come out to greet him.
As soon as she bent down, Xiao Ce took her hand and said, "No need to be polite."
"When the emperor was in Zhongcui Palace, he kept thinking about Sister Qin, so I accompanied the emperor here and had a meal here. Sister won't dislike it, right?" Wu Xirou joked.
