Qin Zhao took the ointment and handed it to Baozhu: "The things my sister sent must be good, and it is good to be prepared. My sister comes here rarely. I will have dinner at Jinyang Palace tonight. I can't refuse."
"But the emperor will come over for dinner..." Wu Xirou hesitated.
"Just because the emperor comes over, my sister won't have dinner at Jinyang Palace? How can there be such a reason? My sister always faces the emperor, which makes me, a sister, lose face." Qin Zhao pretended to be angry.
Wu Xirou hurriedly responded: "Of course not..."
"Since it's not the case, then let's stay for dinner. I, as the elder sister, have the final say on this matter." Qin Zhao concluded the matter and did not give Wu Xirou the chance to refuse.
Wu Xirou really had no choice but to respond: "Listen to sister."
Xiao Ce definitely wanted to be alone with Qin Zhao, and she didn't want to have dinner at Jinyang Palace. But Qin Zhao insisted on letting her have dinner, and she couldn't make Qin Zhao unhappy.
We can only act according to the situation and try not to offend either of them.
When Xiao Ce arrived at Jinyang Palace and found out that Wu Xirou was also having dinner at Jinyang Palace, he gave Qin Zhao a meaningful expression.
Wu Xirou saw it clearly and became more and more certain that the two people had not reconciled yet.
Xiao Ce wanted to have a meal alone with Qin Zhao this time, but there was a third party like her. How could Xiao Ce be happy like this?
As long as she doesn't see through it, she can only pretend to know nothing and act stupid to the end.
As soon as Xiao Ce arrived, he started serving food.
When all the dishes were served, Wu Xirou exclaimed: "There are so many dishes. Sister Qin must have ordered the small kitchen to prepare them carefully when she knew that the emperor was coming for dinner, right?"
"Yes, not only the Emperor, but also Sister Wu, a distinguished guest, is here. The food is too little and looks shabby. Sister Wu is here to try Baoyu's cooking skills." Qin Zhao said, putting vegetables in Wu Xirou's bowl.
While Wu Xirou was flattered, she also felt sorry for Xiao Ce.
Qin Zhao provided food for her, but not for Xiao Ce. Xiao Ce must be unhappy, right?
When Qin Zhao finished eating, she took the food in the bowl and put it into Xiao Ce's bowl: "The emperor will try it too."
Xiao Ce's expression was normal. He took a bite of the dish and commented: "Not bad, Baoyu's cooking skills are getting better and better."
Wu Xirou also lowered her head and took a bite of the food, and then praised her profusely: "Sister Qin is blessed to have a close servant like Baoyu who is good at cooking."
Mentioning Baoyu, Qin Zhao started talking more: "Yes, I am a lucky person, and I am also a lucky person. Baoyu likes to invent new dishes, snacks and desserts when he has nothing to do..."
Xiao Ce listened attentively, Wu Xirou also frequently echoed, and the atmosphere at the table was generally good.
"Then I will visit Jinyang Palace more often in the future, so that I can benefit from my sister's blessing." As Wu Xirou spoke, she suddenly had a good idea.
Since Qin Zhao and Xiao Ce are having conflicts, it will not be good if things continue in the long run. It is better for her to be the intermediary and create opportunities for the two of them to get along.
The more she thought about it, the more she thought this was a solution, and planned to discuss the matter with Xiao Ce later to see what Xiao Ce meant.
At the same time, she also has the opportunity to get along with Xiao Ce, why not?
How did Qin Zhao know Wu Xirou's plan?
As soon as she heard Wu Xirou's words, she echoed: "That's good. If my sister comes to my Jinyang Palace more often, I won't be happy enough."
"Then it's settled!" Wu Xirou couldn't hide the excitement on her face.
Qin Zhao was a little surprised because she rarely saw such exposed emotions on Wu Xirou's face.
There was nothing good about Jinyang Palace, but Wu Xirou couldn't resist Baoyu's cooking skills. She didn't understand this for a while.
Wu Xirou knew that Qin Zhao didn't want to be alone with Xiao Ce, so she used her as a shield. Anyway, she didn't mind this matter, as long as Qin Zhao was happy.
As for Xiao Cegao being unhappy, that is not something she can control. After all, it was Qin Zhao's intention and she cannot be blamed.
After thinking about this, Wu Xirou felt calm.
She was not usually a talkative person, but knowing that there was a quarrel between Qin Zhao and Xiao Ce, she tried her best to liven up the atmosphere.
On weekdays, she would leave Jinyang Palace after dinner.
She is not in a hurry to leave this time and plans to leave Jinyang Palace with Xiao Ce.
Xiao Ce sat for a while, feeling bored because Qin Zhao didn't talk to him. Most of the time, he was the audience, while Wu Xirou was trying to liven up the atmosphere.
Qin Zhao would rather talk to Wu Xirou than give him a look with such an obvious attitude.
"Concubine, let's go with the emperor." Wu Xirou said hurriedly when she saw Xiao Ce decided to leave.
Xiao Ce didn't say anything. Wu Xirou hurriedly said goodbye to Qin Zhao and chased him out.
She followed Xiao Ce closely and was not in a hurry to speak.
It wasn't until she left Jinyang Palace that Xiao Ce didn't say a word to her about letting go. Then she asked Xiao Ce, "Can the emperor accompany me for a walk?"
Xiao Ce looked back at Wu Xirou, and Wu Xirou added: "The emperor is always so busy and has no extra leisure time for the sisters in the harem. The emperor may not even have time to accompany Sister Qin to eat, right?"
Xiao Ce nodded silently.
Qin Zhao had been in the palace for such a long time, and he spent very little time with Qin Zhao. It was better when he was in the East Palace. After he came to the throne, he was busy with government affairs and needed to deal with many things. He had no time for romantic affairs.
"Of course I don't dare to compare with Sister Qin. I just want to accompany the emperor for a walk tonight. Your Majesty, is that okay?" Wu Xirou asked softly.
Xiao Ce didn't say anything and walked forward. Upon seeing this, Wu Xirou knew that Xiao Ce had silently agreed.
Qin Zhao was originally eavesdropping with his ears raised, but then he only heard the footsteps of the two people walking away...
Wu Xirou accompanied Xiao Ce for a while and then said: "I know that the emperor is worried about Sister Qin. In fact, when the emperor encounters problems that cannot be solved, he can discuss them with me. For example, on an occasion like today, if the emperor
I want to find Sister Qin, but Sister Qin is unwilling to talk to the emperor. When there is a conflict between the emperor and Sister Qin, I can share the worries and relieve the trouble for the emperor."
Xiao Ce slowed down and turned to look at Wu Xirou.
Wu Xirou smiled calmly: "When the relationship between the Emperor and Sister Qin is good, even a fool can see that there is a problem between the Emperor and Sister Qin. But I think the problem is not big, and time is the best medicine.
.If Sister Qin does not want to see the emperor, I can help bridge the gap between the emperor and Sister Qin, so that the emperor and Sister Qin can gradually let go of their prejudices. Sister Qin looks cheerful and generous, but has a very bad temper. The Emperor cannot forcefully fight against Sister Qin.
, I must let Sister Qin figure it out and be willing to shake hands with the emperor and make peace."
Xiao Ce listened carefully.
The real Wu Xirou seemed a little different from the Wu Xirou in his dream. The Wu Xirou in the dream always looked at him with resentful eyes, but the real Wu Xirou was earnestly helping him solve problems.
