"Keep your voice down, the imperial concubine has gone to bed." Baozhu then said to the others: "Let's go, follow me to pick you up."
Today is different from the past. In the past, the imperial concubine and empress were favored, and she would protect them whether they were escorted or not. At that time, the emperor rarely allowed them to be escorted.
Things are different now. There is a conflict between the empress and the emperor. If the emperor is unhappy and attacks them, it will be troublesome.
Everyone did not dare to neglect and went to pick him up together.
When Cui Yan saw the people who came to pick her up, she couldn't help but sigh at the great changes. She remembered that when she came back to Jinyang Palace last time, there were only a few servants serving in Jinyang Palace, but today there were many more people.
Among all the people who picked him up, Qin Zhao was nowhere to be seen.
She was a little surprised when she saw this: "Where is Sister Qin?"
"The imperial concubine is taking a nap. Before going to bed, the imperial concubine specifically told the servants that no one should disturb the imperial concubine's rest." It was Baozhu who answered, still holding the little atom in her hand.
Cui Yan had no doubt that he had it. When he saw the meat dumpling in Baozhu's arms, he immediately said happily: "I want to hug A Yuan."
She looked at Xiao Ce as she spoke, but found that Xiao Ce's face was a little gloomy.
She was a little frightened for a moment, and suddenly understood that Xiao Ce was not in a good mood at the moment. Could it be because Qin Zhao didn't come out to pick him up?
She thought about this for a moment, then stepped forward to take the little atom, and then asked Baozhu: "Why is Sister Qin taking a nap at this time? How about this? Why don't you ask Sister Qin to get up first, and wait until lunch is served?
Then continue to rest."
"Little Master Cui doesn't understand the temper of the imperial concubine. As long as she goes to sleep and is woken up by someone on the way, she will definitely be angry when she wakes up..."
Before Baozhu finished speaking, Zhang Jixiang spoke: "But the emperor is here, there is no reason for the emperor to wait for the imperial concubine."
"We only follow the imperial concubine's orders. If Mr. Zhang dares to touch the imperial concubine's frieze, then Mr. Zhang should go and wake the imperial concubine. I dare not disobey the imperial concubine anyway." The orb was taken by Zhang Jixiang.
I was unhappy after grabbing a free meal.
It can only be said that as she stayed with the imperial concubine for a long time, her temper became louder, and she could no longer bear to see Zhang Jixiang acting like a fox and a tiger.
"Then I'll go!" Zhang Jixiang disagreed.
If the emperor comes back disappointed at this moment, and the emperor is sulking again, there is no reason for the emperor to come, and Concubine Qin is still taking a nap, which is against the rules.
Xiao Ce didn't say anything when he saw this scene, which gave Zhang Jixiang confidence.
He quickly went to the bedroom and shouted: "The Emperor has arrived!!"
His high-pitched voice sounded, and everyone serving in Jinyang Palace frowned at the same time.
Everyone serves the imperial concubine, who usually treats them well, but now seeing Zhang Jixiang like this, they are naturally unhappy from the bottom of their hearts.
But anyone who knows the Imperial Concubine knows that no one will disturb the Imperial Concubine when she is sleeping. This is a tacit understanding among everyone.
Zhang Jixiang raised his voice so loudly when he first arrived. Who was he trying to offend?
Seeing that there was no movement in the dormitory, Zhang Jixiang entered the dormitory without stopping and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, the Emperor is here."
In fact, Qin Zhao didn't sleep at all. She listened to everyone's conversations, including Zhang Jixiang's words.
She sat up slowly and opened her lips calmly: "Without my order, who would have given you the courage to break into my bedroom?!"
Zhang Jixiang looked at Qin Zhao when he heard this, and when he met Qin Zhao's cold eyes, his heart froze: "Slave, I just want to tell the noble concubine that the emperor is here..."
Before he could finish speaking, a strong wind suddenly hit him.
He had kung fu, and logically he could avoid this attack, but because the opponent was Qin Zhao, he did not dare to dodge.
The next moment, he was hit in the head by a teapot, causing his head to bleed. He was instantly dizzy and almost couldn't stand still.
"Get out!!" Qin Zhao shouted coldly, which scared Zhang Jixiang and turned around and walked out of the dormitory.
Xiao Ce stood outside and said nothing when he saw Zhang Jixiang's embarrassed look.
Others did not dare to say a word, including Cui Yan, who was holding the little atom in his hand.
She knew that Qin Zhao was powerful, but she never thought that Qin Zhao was so courageous that he would even dare to fight Zhang Jixiang, the number one person in the imperial court. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have known that Qin Zhao was so scary.
At this moment, she was just glad that the person who had just entered was not her, otherwise it would have hit her in the face and ruined her appearance, which would have been impossible.
Zhang Jixiang also felt that he had no face to show off to others. He never expected that Qin Zhao would be so cruel and merciless. It was okay for him to be humiliated, but he did not want to embarrass the emperor.
"General Manager Zhang should have seen the temper of the Imperial Concubine. None of us dare to disturb the Imperial Concubine when she is resting. General Manager Zhang is seriously injured, and we should try our best to treat the wound." The first person to break the silence was Baozhu.
This is the imperial concubine. She always goes her own way, so how can she look at the face of a slave?
Zhang Jixiang thought that he was superior to others because he served in front of the emperor, but in front of the imperial concubine, he was nothing more than a self-respecting dog slave.
Zhang Jixiang looked at Xiao Ce, and Xiao Ce lightly said: "Go back."
Cui Yan looked at the little boy in his arms and looked at Xiao Ce in embarrassment: "Cousin of the Emperor, can I help A Yuan return to the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart?"
Xiao Ce looked at Xiao Atom and met Xiao Atom's clear eyes.
He stepped forward and hugged Xiao Atom, and kissed the child on the face: "You have to be good and don't make your mother and concubine unhappy, you know?"
Xiao Atom replied with a soft hum, and Xiao Ce felt warm in his heart when he looked at the well-behaved and sensible child.
He kissed the child again on the face and handed the child back to Baozhu: "Serve Zhaozhao and Xiaotong well, and report to me if you have anything."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Bao Zhu hurriedly took the little Atom.
After that, the imperial team moved away, and Zhang Jixiang hurriedly followed.
As soon as he left Jinyang Palace, Xiao Ce slowed down and said to Cui Yan: "I'm going back to the Yangxin Palace. Cui Yunu, please stop."
Cui Yan originally wanted to follow him, but after hearing Xiao Ce's order, he knew that his approach plan had come to an end.
"Farewell to the Emperor's cousin." Cui Yan knew when enough was enough.
Xiao Ce never looked back. Cui Yan couldn't help but sigh as he watched the imperial team go away.
She failed to seize such an excellent opportunity today. She doesn't know if she will have the opportunity to get close to Xiao Ce again in the future. Maybe as long as she persists, she will gain something.
She looked back at Jinyang Palace, envious from the bottom of her heart that Qin Zhao had such confidence.
Even if Qin Zhao went too far, the emperor's cousin would not be willing to do anything to Qin Zhao.
Speaking of who in the harem doesn’t envy Qin Zhao?
Recently, the emperor's cousin rarely visits Jinyang Palace and often stays overnight in Zhongcui Palace. Everyone says this is the rhythm of Wu Xirou's rise to power.
But in her opinion, the emperor's cousin is still the most special to Qin Zhao.
And Qin Zhao has such a violent temper and dares to be so cruel to Zhang Jixiang, it is because Qin Zhao has confidence in his heart.
