Chapter 977 Taking over the harem
"Everyone, please continue to sit down. I'm going to have lunch." Qin Zhao saw that no one showed any signs of getting up and leaving Jinyang Palace, so he was too lazy to deal with it anymore, but he did not issue an eviction order.
She said before that she prepared gifts for these people who came just to let them leave voluntarily. Since everyone didn't follow the trend, she didn't have to be polite. It was more important to fill her stomach first.
These people don't understand the truth. The decision whether Xiao Ce can see them or not is not hers, but Xiao Ce's.
"Farewell to my sister." Everyone said in unison, hoping that Qin Zhao would go to have lunch so that they could go their separate ways.
Whoever meets the emperor first later will be blessed.
Qin Zhao had just left, and everyone split up, planning to go around Jinyang Palace and try their luck.
When Qin Zhao entered the dining room and saw a table of delicious food, he was instantly cured.
"It's not easy for me either." Qin Zhao shook his head and sighed.
Xiao Ce's plan is to let her cover up while he returns to the Yangxin Palace. These are obviously his women, so why does he need her to be the villain?
As soon as she walked away, those uncontrollable bees and butterflies should have been looking for Xiao Ce in Jinyang Palace, right?
It is a pity that Xiao Ce left early in the morning and there is no way he is still in Jinyang Palace, waiting for these women to surround him.
The current situation is a bit like a male star that everyone loves is surrounded by fans, and she plays the role of the male star's manager, responsible for covering up the male star.
"It's really not easy for me, I have worked hard just now. Please eat more, my empress." At this time, Qiu Shui came in and stepped forward to help Qin Zhao make food.
Qin Zhao looked at the graceful Qiu Shui and secretly wondered if Qiu Shui would hate her to death if he knew that she had changed her fate as a concubine.
"You are a famous person in front of the emperor, how can I let you serve..."
Before Qin Zhao finished speaking, Qiu Shui said: "Your Majesty's words are embarrassing to me. The Emperor said when he left Jinyang Palace that the Imperial Concubine is the hardest working person in the entire harem. Not only does she have to take care of His Highness, but she also has to protect the Emperor. Now she still has to
I want to help take care of the emperor's harem..."
Hearing this, Qin Zhao felt something was wrong: "What do you mean by this?"
Why does she want to help take care of the harem?
"Didn't the emperor tell the empress? Originally, the empress dowager was taking care of the affairs of the harem, but the empress dowager had to take care of her health, so these important tasks could only be handed over to the imperial concubine. Although the emperor could not bear it, but the empress has such ability, the entire harem will no longer be able to do so.
I can't find a more suitable candidate than your empress." Qiu Shui responded quickly.
Qin Zhao didn't know what to say for a moment.
She knew what she was capable of, and she also knew that Xiao Ce's current harem was not good enough, but it was really tiring for her to take care of the harem.
"Has this matter been settled?" Qin Zhao asked with a frown.
"It hasn't been decided, but the emperor can't find a better candidate than the empress at the moment. The emperor said that he will respect the empress's wishes." Qiu Shui said.
The emperor always thinks about his empress, so he has this concern, of course, because he is afraid that his empress will be too tired.
But overall, there is really no one more suitable to manage the harem than the empress. Of course, a virtuous concubine is also possible, but the emperor still prefers a noble concubine.
"Will the Emperor come to Jinyang Palace tonight... Forget it, let's wait until after the New Year to talk about this matter. I can also think about it again." Qin Zhao looked at Qiu Shui: "You should communicate with me in advance.
This is your kindness. Qiushui, thank you."
"I deserve it. If I hadn't been promoted by my empress, I wouldn't be where I am today. It's all because of my empress that I can become the emperor's righteousness. I'll keep it in my heart." Qiu Shui said sternly.
Qin Zhao shook his head when he heard this: "You are wrong. What you are today is the result of your own efforts. If you had not seized the opportunity that day, you would not have today. I am just making a suggestion. Everyone
Man-made creation depends on each person’s practice.”
Qiu Shui went to Qin Zhao and performed a standard court etiquette: "In short, the empress has given me the kindness of knowing and meeting you, and I will never dare to forget it for a moment."
Qin Zhao smiled and finally dismissed the topic.
After Qiu Shui left, Qin Zhao had also finished eating.
Bao Zhu accompanied Qin Zhao for a walk and asked curiously: "Don't you plan to take care of the harem?"
The empress is in a high position and will reach this point sooner or later.
"If you really have to manage the harem, there are many things and people are tired, so you won't have so much time to spend with your children." Qin Zhao sighed: "I would rather live a quiet life."
"But in this harem, the imperial concubine has the most honorable position. If the imperial concubine does not manage the Sixth Palace, it will most likely be the virtuous imperial concubine's turn. Are you sure you have thought about it?" Baozhu reminded.
In the past, the Queen Mother Guo held the power to manage the harem, but now the Queen Mother Guo has to recuperate and has no energy to take care of the harem. This time is the empress's perfect opportunity.
"Let me think about it again. The emperor will not force me. The decision-making power lies with me." Qin Zhao dismissed everyone, leaving only Xiao Atom to accompany him.
She lowered her head and asked her child: "Son, do you think I should take over this job?"
She just asked casually, without thinking about the child's response.
Who knows the next moment, the child actually nodded.
"Do you know what the concubine is talking about?" Qin Zhao asked again.
The child is still nodding.
Qin Zhao looked at the mature Xiao Atom and frowned tightly for a moment.
"I don't know whether I should be happy or scared." Qin Zhao hugged Xiao Atom tightly.
Although I knew from the beginning that this child was special compared to other children, it was still a bit scary to know people and what adults were talking about after five months.
At this time, Xiaotong grabbed her hand and called her "Mother".
Qin Zhao's only doubts were swept away, and she made a decision: "Since my son asked me, the mother-in-law, to manage the harem, I will take over the job. The current harem staff is not too complicated, and it is easy to manage.
It's quite easy."
The next day, Nianyun suddenly came to Jinyang Palace, and Queen Mother Guo asked her to go to Cihe Palace.
Along the way, Nianyun was extremely quiet and didn't say a word.
Qin Zhao was also thinking about what Empress Dowager Guo wanted to do with him.
After seeing Li, Queen Mother Guo said: "The Ai family came to you to ask what you mean. The Ai family is in poor health and cannot take care of the harem anymore. This harem belongs to you, who has the highest status and is the most capable.
, if you can take over this important task, the Ai family will feel relieved."
Qin Zhao didn't expect that Queen Mother Guo came to him for this matter.
While she was surprised, she also couldn't figure out why Queen Mother Guo seemed to be a different person.
"The Ai family is getting old and their health is getting worse. If there is anyone who is really worried about it, it is A Ce. Although the Ai family does not like you, it is not important. What is important is that A Ce values you. This harem always needs
There is someone in charge, and as a noble concubine, you should stand up and take on this important responsibility." Empress Dowager Guo continued babbled.
