Chapter 992: Don’t mean what you say
After Wu Xirou finished her rituals, Qin Zhaocai said: "Just now, the Dowager Empress recommended my sister to help me manage the Sixth Palace. I think it is a good thing to have one more person to help me. What do you think, sister?"
When Wu Xirou heard this, she immediately shook her head and declined: "My sister's abilities are limited and I can't help her. I understand my sister's kindness."
Concubine Wu became anxious when she heard this: "Xianfei, why do you need to take advantage of yourself? Your ability is obvious to all, and the Ai family recommends you because they think you can take on such an important task..."
"His Majesty, I do have limited abilities and cannot take on this important task. Please don't make things difficult for me." Wu Xirou interrupted Taifei Wu.
Concubine Wu's face changed slightly with anger. She tried her best to help Wu Xirou pave the way, but Wu Xirou didn't appreciate it. Is there anyone so ignorant of praise?
She plans everything for the Concubine Xian, but the Concubine Xian has no ambition at all. What's the point of not fighting for it? In this way, Qin Zhao's power will only grow.
Qin Zhao has given birth to a prince, and now controls the harem. This time, the Wanshou Festival and Lantern Festival are also completed with one effort.
With Qin Zhao's ability, if it continues to develop and grow like this, sooner or later this harem will be overshadowed by Qin Zhao, and there will no longer be a place for good concubines.
Concubine Wu hates that iron cannot become steel, so she can't say too much in front of Qin Zhao and Xiao Ce.
"The Ai family thinks Concubine Xian is cautious and attentive, so we can give it a try." Concubine Wu tried to persuade Wu Xirou.
Wu Xirou insisted on her own idea: "The concubine thinks too highly of me. I am incompetent and cannot take on such an important task. If Sister Qin needs help, maybe she can find someone from other harem sisters. If there is nothing else, I
Resign yourself."
Without waiting for anyone else to say anything, Wu Xirou turned around and walked away.
Qin Zhao was secretly speechless, feeling that Wu Xirou's bad temper was to her liking.
On the contrary, Concubine Wu wanted to help Wu Xirou rise to power, but she didn't want to think about her identity and how many times she had fallen out with Xiao Ce during the previous dynasty.
If she were in Wu Xirou's position, she would not accept this so-called opportunity to rise to the top because it would leave a bad impression on Xiao Ce.
Wu Xirou values Xiao Ce the most. How can he help her manage the harem when Xiao Ce is the most important thing in everything?
Concubine Wu did not expect Wu Xirou to react like this.
She watched Wu Xirou walk away, feeling frustrated.
If Wu Xirou can help manage the harem, the Wu family will benefit. If she, the concubine, helps from the side, she can fight Qin Zhao to the death.
But Wu Xirou has no fighting spirit and only wants to be an idle concubine. What future can such a person have?
Concubine Wu hated that iron could not become steel, but there was nothing she could do about it.
"The Concubine Xian is unwilling to contribute, and her hard work has been wasted. What should the Concubine do now?"
Qin Zhao's voice awakened Mrs. Wu's thoughts.
Concubine Wu was feeling stuffed in her heart, but she couldn't vent it. Qin Zhao was more talkative this time. Was it because she was sure that Wu Xirou was not willing to help manage the harem?
This thought flashed away, and Mrs. Wu's gaze was fixed on Qin Zhao's warm smiling face.
"The Ai family will find another opportunity to advise Concubine Xian! It is not only tiring for Concubine to manage the harem alone, but also prone to mistakes. If there is a thoughtful helper like Concubine Xian, it will be twice the result with half the effort." Concubine Wu did not want to say more, turned and left.
Go to Jinyang Palace.
When Xiao Ce saw that all the extra people had left, he said to Qin Zhao: "Don't pay attention to the concubine, you did a good job."
In his opinion, Qin Zhao doesn't need any assistants.
"I also feel that I have done a good job." Qin Zhao held Xiao Ce's hand tightly and pulled him into the room: "Your Majesty, please close your eyes first."
Xiao Ce didn't know what tricks she was playing, so he closed his eyes as told.
"Your Majesty, please open your eyes!" Qin Zhao's voice soon sounded.
Xiao Ce opened his eyes and paused when he saw the belt in front of him.
"My concubine's female beauty is not good, and the emperor cannot disapprove of it. This is also the belt that I spent several nights making." Qin Zhao said with a smile.
She wasn't a thin-skinned person either. Although she didn't do a good job, she took out this birthday gift because she made it herself and it was his birthday today.
Xiao Ce is an emperor and lacks everything. She doesn't know what to give as a gift. Baozhu said that no matter whether the things she makes are good or not, they always come from her heart and Xiao Ce will not dislike them.
Xiao Ce took the belt and looked at it carefully, "Very good, I like it."
No matter how bad her female celebrity is, she has improved in the past year. It can be seen that she has put her heart into it, which is more important than anything else.
She also has to manage the harem this year, and she is responsible for the Lantern Festival and Longevity Festival this time. In such a busy time, she can still find time to prepare this carefully prepared birthday gift for him, how could he not like it?
"As long as the Emperor likes it. The Emperor lacks nothing, and I don't know what to give to the Emperor." Qin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Xiao Ce is not picky and would not reject such a gift.
"I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth. I seemed to have everything, but also seemed to have nothing. Now I feel that I really have everything." Xiao Ce was rarely sentimental.
He owns Daqi Jiangshan, he owns the woman Qin Zhao, and he also has a child as cute as Xiao Atom.
Where can I find a man luckier than him in this world?
"Then it must be because of the concubine that the emperor feels that he has everything, right?" Qin Zhao is very sure that everything Xiao Ce owns includes her.
"It's more lovable if you don't speak." Xiao Ce said, ignoring Qin Zhao, and turned to look at the belt carefully.
The more he looked at it, the more he felt that Qin Zhao's embroidery work was poor, but the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
Qin Zhao watched from the side and asked puzzledly: "Is the belt made by my concubine so beautiful?"
Seeing how Xiao Ce couldn't put it down, it seemed like she was a very popular actress.
"It doesn't look good, but it's your intention anyway, so I reluctantly accepted it." Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao.
Hearing Xiao Ce's words, Qin Zhao wanted to slap him.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to do anything difficult. I will take it back first. At worst, we can do it next year..."
Qin Zhao tried to take it back, but Xiao Ce hurriedly avoided it: "It belongs to next year, and you can't take it back this year. Once it's in my hands, it's my thing and has nothing to do with you."
Qin Zhaoqing blinked his eyes: "But I don't want to see the emperor being wronged. How can the unworthy things I do do be worthy of the emperor's noble status?"
Xiao Ce only blamed himself for saying too much, "You did a good job, but I said something wrong just now. Don't argue with me."
In front of her, I really couldn't say a bad word.
A smile flashed in Qin Zhao's eyes, but he couldn't ignore it: "The emperor clearly said it was not good-looking..."
"You heard wrong. I said she is very beautiful. I am very happy to receive the birthday gift from my beloved concubine." Xiao Ce was afraid of this woman Qin Zhao.
