Chapter 989: Extremely powerful
Before going to bed that night, Qin Zhao said to Xiao Atom: "Son, you are too young to understand the ugliness of this world. It's all my fault as a mother. I have too many enemies. These evil people can't deal with me, but they actually want to harm you...
"
The more she talked, the more sad she became. When she lowered her head, she saw that the child was asleep.
She couldn't help but laugh.
No matter how sensible Little Atom is, he is only a child under half a year old. Tell him this, what will he understand?
Next, she, the mother-in-law, must act carefully and not give Concubine Wu a chance to make a move.
If you can steal and reap the benefits, that's even better.
That night, Wang Shanggong indeed sent the news to Changkang Palace.
After receiving the news, Mrs. Wu frowned and realized again that she had underestimated Qin Zhao.
She thought that Qin Zhao had no experience in managing the harem and wanted to seize the opportunity to seize power from Qin Zhao. Unexpectedly, Qin Zhao seemed to have no achievements on the surface and was just doing things according to previous regulations.
But Qin Zhao knew it well and shortened some unnecessary and cumbersome processes, which is also worth mentioning.
"Wang Shanggong said that he could not take action during the Wanshou Festival, so he asked the empress to wait." Aunt Zhong reminded.
"Qin Zhao is keeping a close eye on each link and who is used at what time. How to start?" Wu Taifei clenched her fists: "Qin Zhao is a difficult woman to deal with."
She had dealt with Qin Zhao in the past, and at that time she only thought that Qin Zhao was scheming.
But now she discovered that Qin Zhao was not only cunning, but also thoughtful.
The plan listed by Wang Shanggong made Wang Shanggong dare not take action casually, otherwise he would not even be able to keep his position as Shanggong.
Furthermore, if Wang Shanggong was removed from his post, she would be betrayed if he could not protect her. This was also her concern.
Unless she took action to get rid of Wang Shanggong after Wang Shanggong succeeded, then she would have no worries.
Wang Shanggong also didn't expect that before she took action, Mrs. Wu was already thinking about killing her in the future.
Time passed quickly, and the day of the Lantern Festival soon arrived.
This time it was Qin Zhao who took charge of the overall situation. She got up early in the morning, dressed in grand robes and a set of headgear that she had never worn before. This was taken from her dowry, and it was no exaggeration to say it was priceless.
This set of hair is noble and elegant, yet not ostentatious. When worn on Qin Zhao, it further highlights his temperament and beauty.
Qin Zhaoyuan rarely dressed so grandly. Today's outfit and a little heavy makeup gave him an instant aura that made people dare not look at Qin Zhao.
Baozhu has served Qin Zhao for such a long time and has long been accustomed to Qin Zhao's changeable temperament, but now facing Qin Zhao in his best clothes, she is still a little weak.
Baohong even lowered her head, not daring to look directly at Qin Zhao.
She felt that the imperial concubine was so powerful that even Empress Dowager Guo and Concubine Wu, who had been immersed in the harem for twenty years, could not compare with her.
When Qin Zhao walked in front, Baohong dared to take a deep breath. She pulled Baolan and whispered: "Do you think the aura of the imperial concubine is terrifying?!"
Fortunately, she still thought that the empress was kind. At that moment, she felt that she was terribly wrong.
The imperial concubine was born to be in a superior position, and she was born to be a strong person sitting in the highest position.
It's just that the imperial concubine treated them kindly and made them forget this fact.
Baolan looked at Qin Zhao's back and replied in a low voice: "The imperial concubine is the most powerful woman I have ever seen, even more powerful than the concubine Wu."
During the previous dynasty, she met Mrs. Wu, who was still a royal concubine at that time. At that time, Mrs. Wu was unparalleled and she was always cheered and supported wherever she went.
Precisely because she had seen Mrs. Wu in her most powerful state, she was greatly shocked when she saw the concubine's unintentionally display of extremely powerful power today for the first time.
The imperial concubine has obviously only become an imperial concubine not long ago, and she rarely interacts with others on weekdays. She usually looks more amiable and approachable. Today, as soon as she put on the grand official uniform, her aura was extremely high.
At this moment, she completely understood why the emperor treated the imperial concubine alone differently. A special woman like the imperial concubine was not to mention rare in the harem, and even the entire Daqi might not be able to find another one.
Baohong felt a little more balanced when she saw Baolan was also shocked.
This shows that it is not that she is timid, but that the empress is so special that everyone is shocked.
They were lucky enough to serve such a master and felt that they were superior to others.
Because this day was both the Lantern Festival and the Longevity Festival, Xiao Ce, the birthday boy, did not go to the Baohe Hall in the morning. He went to the Baohe Hall to receive congratulations from the princes and civil and military officials in python robes. Everyone also contributed many birthday gifts.
.
After the greetings, there were musicians from the church singing and dancing.
After that, princes and envoys from various countries were led to take their seats in the hall, and other ministers and envoys sat in the two corridors outside the hall.
Qin Zhao sat next to Xiao Ce. Her eyes glanced at the envoys' position from time to time. There were indeed envoys from the Dayue clan coming to congratulate them on their birthday, but Seth was not among them.
Ever since Seth caused a scandal in Daqi Palace last time, Seth has never appeared in Daqi again. Of course, this is only on the surface.
According to her understanding of Seth, Seth is a very ambitious man. Even if his leg is lame and he is no longer a candidate for the king, Seth cannot withdraw from the political stage.
So Seth just hid his whereabouts, maybe he sneaked into Daqi Palace again this time and is waiting for an opportunity.
Thinking of this possibility, she whispered to Xiao Ce: "Will the third prince come too?"
Xiao Ce's eyebrows moved and he looked at Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao's red lips parted slightly: "I think the third prince may do such sneaky things, so we have to guard against it."
The corners of Xiao Ce's lips rose. He felt that Qin Zhao described it well. Seth is like a mouse that cannot see the light. He does everything in secret, which makes people unhappy.
If the Great Yuezhi Kingdom really falls into the hands of people like Seth, Daqi will go to war with the Great Yuezhi Kingdom sooner or later.
He shouldn't have spared his hand last time. Instead of just crippling Seth's leg, he should have killed Seth. This would have saved trouble.
"You have to be careful." Xiao Ce said and looked at Qin Zhao again.
Qin Zhao felt Xiao Ce's little look and wondered what it meant: "Why does the emperor always look at his concubines?"
Xiao Ce looked at her more than once today, and she didn't know what his look meant.
"Although you took charge of the overall situation for the first time, you did a good job." Xiao Ce replied casually.
Qin Zhao grinned when he heard this: "That's right. Although I look like a big change, I am never ambiguous about important matters. Your Majesty, I have nothing to worry about."
Xiao Ce felt that he couldn't praise her more, because her tail could lift up to the sky.
Qin Zhao found that Xiao Ce was silent again and looked at the singing, dancing and music playing in the venue with a serious look.
Soon she was attracted by the singing and dancing in the venue. She was eating and watching. When she was watching intently, Xiao Ce suddenly looked over again. She immediately looked over: "Why is the emperor looking at my concubine again?"
Does this girl have anything to say to her?
