Chapter 993: Going out of the palace to enjoy the lanterns
Qin Zhao knew the principle of accepting things as soon as they were good, so she took advantage of the situation and answered: "If the emperor really likes it, then I will make a new one for the emperor in the coming year."
Xiao Ce's heart moved slightly, "Are you serious?"
"In which year do I not prepare a birthday gift for the emperor? The emperor should be very happy to receive this birthday gift from Xiao Atom, right?" Qin Zhao raised his eyebrows proudly when he mentioned his masterpiece.
Xiao Ce was speechless for a moment.
This makes sense. Even when she was estranged from him because of her pregnancy that year, she prepared gifts for him, and the little atom was the best birthday gift that year.
"Yes, you gave me all the best, I should be satisfied." Xiao Ce took Qin Zhao into his arms and asked about business: "Don't you want to take over the affairs of the harem?"
Qin Zhao was stunned and got out of Xiao Ce's arms: "I feel that there is no other more suitable candidate for this harem besides me. Who can let me be a noble concubine and be smart and capable? This is the first time today.
I tried my skills for a little while, but someone actually plotted against me, and the person behind it has not been found out yet, which makes me unhappy. Who do you think the person behind this is, the emperor?"
"Without evidence, don't make a conclusion easily." Xiao Ce responded.
"Is the possibility of Mrs. Wu high?" Qin Zhao suddenly asked.
"As I said before, you can't lock the target without evidence." Xiao Ce replied conservatively.
"They are all people who have been in the harem for many years. Before they do anything, they have already thought about destroying all the evidence that may be left behind. Where can I find evidence? Maybe who is behind this incident will never be known.
A mystery." Qin Zhao sighed lightly.
Maybe the mastermind of this incident was Wu Taifei. After all, Wu Taifei had a motive. In order to pave the way for Wu Xirou, Wu Taifei could do such a thing.
Xiao Ce was silent for a long time and then said: "The harem is a place like this."
There will always be frame-ups, there will always be mysteries that cannot be solved, some secrets will be taken to the grave by some people, and some secrets will cause pain to everyone once they are revealed.
"The emperor has lived in a place like this for more than twenty years." Qin Zhao was quite touched.
But she felt that a strong man like Xiao Ce did not need anyone's sympathy. Although this place was very dark, Xiao Ce still ascended to the position of emperor.
"I sometimes wonder if some of my mother's actions are because of me." Xiao Ce murmured silently.
Qin Zhao didn't know how to answer this.
Xiao Ce wants to say that the reason why he ascended the throne is because of Empress Dowager Guo's planning behind his back? But Xiao Ce is obviously capable and he is suitable to rule the world.
"Your Majesty, don't always put gold on your face. Human desires and ambitions are endless. What the Queen Mother does is just human nature. What does it have to do with the Emperor? If the Queen Mother says that everything she does is
For the sake of the emperor, it is ridiculous that the emperor believes this." Qin Zhao said seriously.
She didn't like to discuss the Queen Mother Guo with Xiao Ce before because the Queen Mother Guo was Xiao Ce's biological mother and she didn't want to see Xiao Ce in trouble.
But if the evil Queen Mother Guo did was all for Xiao Ce, she would never believe this ridiculous conclusion.
Xiao Ce looked sideways after hearing this.
At this point, Qin Zhao said straightforwardly: "Although the Queen Mother is the emperor's biological mother, I still want to tell the truth. The Queen Mother is selfish. What she loves most is not the late emperor nor the emperor, but the emperor."
It's herself."
Xiao Ce had never seen Qin Zhao comment so frankly on Queen Mother Guo in front of him, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer the question.
"So Your Majesty, don't always think that what the Queen Mother does is for the Emperor. In my eyes, everything the Queen Mother does is just for herself." Qin Zhao said, carrying Xiao Atom and went to the study, leaving
Give Xiao Ce some space alone so that he can think about this matter by himself.
Xiao Ce watched Qin Zhao go away without following him.
In the past, Qin Zhao rarely mentioned the Queen Mother in front of her, but he knew that there was discord between the Queen Mother and Qin Zhao, but every time, Master Qin Zhao did not care about the Queen Mother.
He knew that according to Qin Zhao's temperament, she would never be so tolerant, but it was only because of him that she endured it again and again.
As for the Queen Mother, he is her son. He has seen her at her most cruel and ruthless appearance, so he naturally knows what kind of person the Queen Mother is...
Qin Zhao was reading military books to his child in the study. Xiao Ce came not long after, took the child and said, "You go and rest for a while. I will take you out of the palace for a walk in the evening."
Qin Zhao's eyes lit up: "Really?"
"I am the emperor, and I will never lie. Today is the Lantern Festival, and you can enjoy the lanterns at night." Xiao Ce said, pulling up Qin Zhao: "It's a good thing that you have been bored in the palace for so long and never asked to go out to play."
Qin Zhao grinned: "The time of raising children flies by quickly, and the day is over in a blink of an eye."
Of course Qin Zhao was excited to be able to go out to play.
She took her child to sleep for an hour before getting up. By then it was almost dusk.
When Xiao Ce saw that she was awake, he picked up the child and took her to the center of the field where the carriage stopped.
When they got on the carriage, Qin Zhao expressed his worries: "I am afraid that it is not safe outside the palace. If the third prince also enters the capital, I am afraid that he will be detrimental to the emperor."
The palace is heavily guarded, so there are no worries in this regard.
Xiao Ce touched her head: "Don't worry, I am sensible."
Listening to what he said, Qin Zhao knew that he had been prepared. In that case, what did she have to worry about?
But, they still have their children with them...
Seeing Qin Zhao looking at Xiao Atom and frowning, Xiao Ce smiled: "I told you, don't worry. Don't worry, I won't risk you mother and son."
Qin Zhao thought of Concubine Wu.
Xiao Ce didn't know that Concubine Wu had murderous intentions against Xiao Atom, and she had no evidence. She couldn't say it was because she knew intuitively that Concubine Wu wanted to harm Xiao Atom, right?
She used to suspect that Concubine Wu was colluding with Seth, and she still has such suspicions now. If Concubine Wu was colluding with Seth, and she wanted to use Seth's hand to get rid of the little atom, what should she do?
"You were not so courageous before." Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao deeply.
Qin Zhao was relieved at this moment. She was indeed not a timid person. If Concubine Wu dared to unite with Seth to harm Xiao Atom, she would definitely tear up Concubine Wu and Seth with her own hands.
"Aren't you going to leave the palace? Hurry up." Qin Zhao smiled.
Seeing that she had figured it out, Xiao Ce showed admiration: "This is the Qin Zhao I know."
She is courageous, resourceful, and unconventional in her actions. She is the most special woman he has ever seen.
"What does a concubine look like in the eyes of the emperor?" Qin Zhao couldn't help but be a little curious.
Of course she knew that Xiao Ce treated her very special, stood by her when something happened and gave her enough respect, but she didn't know what kind of existence she was in Xiao Ce's heart.
"Talks too much and is lazy..."
