Qin Zhao asked some insignificant questions, followed by lectures, just to make everyone loyal to Xiao Ce wholeheartedly, and if they perform their duties well, they will be rewarded heavily.
After about half an hour, Qin Zhao let these people leave.
"The noble concubine asked us to work hard and be loyal to the emperor. Does she suspect that we are usually lazy?" Zhixia asked Qiu Shuidao as soon as he walked out of Qin Zhao's sight.
Qiu Shui smiled and said: "We will do whatever the Imperial Concubine tells us. This is always right. The Imperial Concubine is usually a kind person. I think it is because she is worried about the Emperor that she specially called us over to lecture her. There should be no other meaning."
"Am I the only one who finds that the imperial concubine is very beautiful?" Another person who interrupted was Zhidong.
"It is well known that the imperial concubine is beautiful. This is not the first time you have seen the imperial concubine and made such a fuss." Zhiqiu didn't care.
"I have never seen the Imperial Concubine at such a close distance before, and even if I saw her, I would not dare to take a closer look. Today is the first time I have seen the Imperial Concubine at such a close distance, and I realized that the Imperial Concubine is so beautiful. No wonder the Emperor dotes on the Imperial Concubine.
"Zhidong told the truth.
Unlike Qiu Shui, everyone can get so close to the imperial concubine. Today, when we take a closer look, we can see how amazing the imperial concubine's beauty is.
Qin Zhao overheard this and felt that Zhidong's words made sense.
Things like Xiao Ce's leaving the palace must only be known to the attendants who serve Xiao Ce at close range, right? So she called all these people who could serve Xiao Ce at close range.
But she forgot that people were coming and going in the Yangxin Palace. If Xiao Ce wanted to leave the palace, he had to order someone to prepare the carriage for leaving the palace. This matter was a big news and would soon spread throughout the Yangxin Palace, even to the
Other palaces.
So it makes no sense for her to bring these people here for questioning today.
Maybe the craftsman she was looking for was not in Yangxin Palace at all. This was also possible.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. She thought of the problem too simply, thinking that she could find out the details in a short time, but the opposite was true.
It was night, and Baozhu still saw no sign of Xiao Ce, so he said to Qin Zhao, "Why don't you go and coax the emperor?"
Otherwise, it would make no sense for the empress to specially move into the Yangxin Hall.
Qin Zhao didn't answer, but got up.
Not being able to find a detailed work is only the next best thing. We can't lose the wife and lose the troops. We still have to coax Xiao Ce back.
Baozhu was about to follow her out when she saw Qin Zhao suddenly turned back and said to her: "Go to the emperor and say this..."
Baozhu felt speechless after hearing this. Is this a way to coax the emperor?
"Can this method work?" Baozhu asked uncertainly.
"I don't know if it will work, but if you don't go, it will definitely not work." Qin Zhao sat at the dining table and took a bite of the food first.
Baozhu was dumbfounded for a moment: "Didn't the empress say that you won't eat until the emperor comes?"
"Yes, I asked you to spread the word like this, but I'm hungry, so I'll take a few bites to fill my stomach first." Qin Zhaomei stared: "Why are you still here?"
Baozhu will stop talking nonsense this time.
She finally understood that the empress did not want to coax the emperor at all, but wanted to deceive the emperor. But is a smart person like the emperor so easy to deceive?
With these uncertainties, Baozhu met Xiao Ce and conveyed Qin Zhao's words: "The imperial concubine said that since she can't see the emperor today, there will be no need for dinner, so she can take the opportunity to lose weight."
These are Qin Zhao's original words.
Xiao Ce originally didn't want to see Qin Zhao, just because this woman made him feel bad. He kept everything in his heart and didn't regard him as one of his own.
But now I heard that Qin Zhao won't have dinner, and with Qin Zhao's small body, how can he not eat?
Bao Zhu saw Xiao Ce getting up and followed closely. She was only worried that the emperor would catch the empress while eating, which would make the emperor very angry and there would be no way to end it.
She didn't know that Qin Zhao had good hearing. She heard the footsteps just after Xiao Ce came over and stopped eating immediately.
After that, she specifically asked Qiu Shui to check, and Qiu Shui was also very nervous. She only felt relieved after making sure that there were no oil stains on Qin Zhao's mouth.
Only the imperial concubine in the world dared to play such a bold trick, and she even dared to fool the emperor and take the courage of a leopard.
When Xiao Ce came over, he saw Qin Zhao looking at the door. As soon as she saw him, she immediately flew over to him. He could barely catch her light body and scolded: "Why don't you walk well?"
"I was so happy when I saw the emperor that I lost my composure. Your Majesty, don't care about me like this." Qin Zhao held Xiao Ce's arm affectionately.
Xiao Ce had nothing to do with Qin Zhao, so he followed Qin Zhao to his seat. When he saw that the dishes on the table had not been touched, he said in a deep voice: "Why don't you eat?"
Bao Zhu on the side heard this so clearly that she just wanted to laugh. Because she was afraid of losing her composure, she simply lowered her head.
"How can I eat if I can't see the emperor? I was still thinking that if the emperor doesn't accompany me to have dinner with me, I won't eat today." Qin Zhao pulled Xiao Ce to sit down: "As soon as the emperor came, I suddenly felt...
I’ve lost my appetite, so I plan to eat two bowls of rice tonight.”
Xiao Ce looked at her thin face and felt that Qin Zhao couldn't gain weight even after eating three bowls of rice.
He focused all his attention on Qin Zhao and did not notice that Qin Zhao had eaten secretly before he came.
The frightened Bao Zhu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his master's deeds were not exposed.
Therefore, a shrewd person like the Emperor will be defeated when faced with someone like the Imperial Concubine who does not follow common sense.
After he had eaten and drank enough, Qin Zhao gave Baozhu a proud look. Others would not understand it, but Baozhu understood deeply that his master was proud of having coaxed the emperor easily.
Qin Zhao was in a good mood after shaking hands with Xiao Ce and making peace, but she felt that there was still something missing between herself and Xiao Ce. Maybe it was the legendary passion and romance, or maybe there was a lack of honey and oil.
a feeling of.
Although she is also confused, she is still very satisfied with the status quo. She feels that this is the way to live.
In her previous life, she felt that she was in an alternating state of being in love and falling out of love every day, with severe emotional ups and downs. Isn't this dull life what she once longed for but was out of reach?
When Qin Zhao got up the next morning, Xiao Ce had already gone to court.
She ate her breakfast slowly and listened to what the people serving at Yangxin Hall were saying behind their backs.
Unfortunately, she didn't hear any useful information.
She couldn't live in the Yangxin Palace all the time. If she didn't gain anything after a few days, she would have to go back to the Jinyang Palace. As for whether the person doing the work was from the Yangxin Palace, she didn't know for sure.
Although she didn't gain anything, Qin Zhao was not impatient. She felt that some things just happened naturally and there was no point in worrying.
However, Xiao Atom was unwilling to eat that morning. Qin Zhao thought the child was not feeling well, so he simply asked Luo Qing to come over and see the child.
