Chapter 982 Wearing Shoes
Xiao Ce had no experience in dealing with other women at close range, but he felt that Qin Zhao's facial features were all what he liked...
Qin Zhao woke up naturally from her sleep. When she opened her eyes drowsily, she saw Xiao Ce sitting beside her, looking at her intently.
She struggled to get up and yawned loudly: "What time is it now? Doesn't the Emperor go to the morning court?"
Xiao Ce laughed: "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year."
Qin Zhao then remembered the scene of her and Xiao Ce staying up late when they were young, and she yawned again: "I, my concubine, have been living a confused life."
She got out of bed and was about to put on her shoes when she saw Xiao Ce squatting in front of her. She didn't know why: "What is your Majesty doing?"
You can't kneel down to her so early in the morning, she can't bear it.
Until Xiao Ce brought her shoes over, she was surprised: "Does the emperor want to help me put on my shoes? I can do this myself. The emperor is squatting in front of me like this. I think the emperor wants to do something to me."
kneel……"
Xiao Ce, who was about to help Qin Zhao put on his shoes:...
Why did what he thought was a funny story change when it came to Qin Zhao's mouth?
In the end, he remained calm and helped Qin Zhao put on his shoes unhurriedly and unskillfully.
Qin Zhao was also speechless.
It took Xiao Ce nearly half a quarter of an hour to help her put on her shoes. Apart from being great at government affairs, Xiao Ce had nothing to say about other aspects, especially about women.
For some reason, she raised the corners of her lips when she thought of this.
Xiao Ce and Qin Zhao got up late. On New Year's Day, Qin Zhao and Xiao Ce simply had breakfast and lunch together.
Maybe Baozhu taught Xiao Atom. When Baozhu brought Xiao Atom over, Xiao Atom actually bowed his hands to Xiao Ce and Qin Zhao to say New Year greetings.
In addition, Xiao Atom was dressed in bright red and festively dressed, looking like a lucky baby. Plus, he looked like he was paying New Year greetings, which immediately made Qin Zhao and Xiao Ce smile.
Qin Zhao hugged Xiao Atom and smiled from ear to ear: "Little Atom wishes us New Year greetings at such a young age. It's so cute!"
She kissed Xiao Atom twice hard on the face. This time Xiao Atom not only did not avoid it, but returned the favor and kissed Qin Zhao on the face, which made Qin Zhao extremely happy.
After happily finishing lunch, Qin Zhao still asked Xiao Ce: "Your Majesty, should we go to Cihe Palace to pay New Year's greetings to the Queen Mother?"
She knew that Xiao Ce and Empress Dowager Guo rarely spoke to each other, and Xiao Ce still cared that Empress Dowager Guo had killed the late emperor, but Xiao Ce obviously still cared about Empress Dowager Guo, otherwise he would not have suddenly wanted to stay up late yesterday.
"Yeah." Xiao Ce hugged Xiao Atom and said, "Take Xiao Atom with you."
Seeing Xiao Ce's sudden serious expression, Qin Zhao could probably guess Xiao Ce's inner conflict.
"Little Atom has learned how to pay New Year greetings. Later, let Little Atom pay New Year greetings to the Queen Mother. The scene will be very interesting." Qin Zhao said in a brisk and authentic tone.
Xiao Ce responded with silence and said nothing.
Qin Zhao felt that Xiao Ce was also very contradictory. Maybe if it were her, she would not talk to the Queen Mother Guo anymore. But Xiao Ce obviously still cares about the mother-child love for the Queen Mother Guo, even if he knew that the Queen Mother Guo was plotting to murder the emperor.
The real murderer of the emperor.
Under such circumstances, Xiao Ce was still so tolerant of Empress Dowager Guo.
She can actually understand Xiao Ce because she is also a mother.
After that, Xiao Ce held Xiao Atom in his arms and took Qin Zhao with him to Cihe Palace.
Queen Mother Guo hadn't had lunch yet. Xiao Ce hadn't come over at this hour, so she thought Xiao Ce wouldn't come again today. It wasn't until Xiao Ce showed up with Qin Zhao's mother and son that she felt relieved.
Qin Zhao looked at Xiao Atom, who received the message from Qin Zhao's eyes and raised his hands to Queen Mother Guo to wish her a happy New Year, looking funny.
Queen Mother Guo did not expect that Xiao Ayuan would suddenly greet her with New Year greetings. She was surprised and happy: "A Yuan learned to greet New Year greetings so quickly? My concubine, you have taught your child well."
Qin Zhao was silent, thinking that it was not her who taught him, it must have been Bao Zhu's temporary fixation, and Xiao Atom was smart, so he learned the New Year greetings in a short period of time to make the adults happy.
"The little atom is smart, just like Zhao Zhao." Xiao Ce took the opportunity to put a high hat on Qin Zhao's head.
"Clearly more like the Emperor. Not only do they look similar, they have similar temperaments, and I also look like the Emperor in terms of their high IQ." Qin Zhao replied politely.
Queen Mother Guo looked at the beautiful child and was very satisfied: "Since you are here, let's have lunch at Cihe Palace."
Qin Zhao looked at Xiao Ce, and Xiao Ce also looked over. They had just finished eating, and if they were to eat any more, they would have to show off their stomach.
"Okay, I and the Emperor will be happy." Qin Zhao was afraid that Xiao Ce would refuse, so he answered first.
When he sat at the dining table and saw the delicious food on the table, Qin Zhao knew that the delicious food on the table was prepared for Xiao Ce.
During the meal, Queen Mother Guo served Xiao Ce with food from time to time and quickly filled Xiao Ce's bowl.
Xiao Ce and Qin Zhao both ate very little because they had just one meal before coming to Cihe Palace. Their stomach capacity was limited and they could not eat that much.
But in the opinion of Queen Mother Guo, Xiao Ce was dissatisfied with the meal prepared by the cook, or maybe Xiao Ce still had a prejudice against her.
"But the food is not to your liking?" Queen Mother Guo finally couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Ce shook his head, but he still told the truth: "I got up late, I just had breakfast before, and I am still very full now."
Queen Mother Guo laughed when she heard this: "So that's it."
"Yes, it is rare for the emperor to take a break. He got up a little late today and came here after breakfast." Qin Zhao agreed.
Queen Mother Guo smiled and nodded: "Since you're not hungry, then you won't eat more."
Overall, the atmosphere that followed was pretty good.
Qin Zhao was a sensible person, so he put down his bowls and chopsticks early, left the dining room, and walked around outside.
Later, she heard Nian Yun's footsteps nearby, so she simply turned back and went to Nian Yun.
Nianyun was thinking about something, but she didn't expect that Qin Zhao would suddenly leave and come back: "I respectfully invite the imperial concubine Jin An!"
"No need to be polite. How have you been, the Queen Mother, in the past two days?" Qin Zhao directly addressed the topic.
Yesterday, Luo Qing took a break from bathing on the eve of the Lunar New Year. Luo Qing will take a break from bathing for two more days before going to the palace to see Empress Dowager Guo on the third day of the Lunar New Year. Empress Dowager Guo must not feel any discomfort during these days.
"Everything is well with the Queen Mother. Miss Luo specially left three pieces of medicine before leaving the palace, and ordered the servants to supervise the Queen Mother to drink it on time every day." Nianyun thought.
Qin Zhao felt relieved. She remembered the scene where she was thinking about what she was thinking about, so she asked more: "I think you seem to have something on your mind. If you encounter a problem that cannot be solved, you might as well tell me."
After all, Nianyun was also someone close to Empress Dowager Guo. Since Empress Dowager Guo could not get into trouble, Nianyun's heart had to be bribed.
Anyway, Empress Dowager Guo is already so ill, and it would be a good thing for Xiao Ce to allow Empress Dowager Guo to live longer.
"My servant has no worries about food and drink. I have no desires and no demands. There is no problem that cannot be solved. If there really is a problem, I will definitely ask the imperial concubine for help and thank her for her grace." Nianyun said, neither humble nor arrogant.
