Xu Cairen asked Xiao Qingzi to step aside and stay indoors alone.
Thinking of the scene where she was humiliated yesterday, she felt a deep hatred for Li Yunv. If there was a chance in the future, she would definitely kill yesterday's shame...
After delivering the medicine, Baolan returned to Jinyang Palace to resume his life.
"How did Xu Cairen react after receiving the medicine?" Qin Zhao asked casually.
Baolan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I never paid attention to this."
Qin Zhao was not surprised: "It's normal if you don't pay attention. Just send the medicine."
"By the way, Master Xu wanted to give the slave a reward, but the slave left immediately when he saw the battle." Baolan did not dare to hide it, so she specifically explained the matter.
Qin Zhao looked calmly: "If there is a reward, accept it and treat it as your errand fee. Don't be so stupid next time and refuse to accept the reward. I have always encouraged collecting money from legitimate sources and not giving it away."
The money comes to the door and is pushed out."
Baolan didn't expect Qin Zhao's answer to be like this. She was surprised and felt that it was in line with Qin Zhao's temperament, so she responded: "I know what to do next time."
At this time, Xiao Linzi came in and opened his lips: "The Concubine Xian is here."
"Please come in, Concubine Xian." Qin Zhao did not expect Wu Xirou to come at this hour.
After all, it was almost time for lunch, and Wu Xirou knew her daily routine best. If she came here at this time, could it be that she wanted to come over for lunch?
While she was thinking about it, Wu Xirou came in and presented her with a bag of good tea: "I miss Baoyu's delicious food. I want to come over for a meal today. Sister, you won't mind it, right?"
"Now that my sister has spoken, I don't dare to say it even if I dislike it." Qin Zhao replied with a smile.
Wu Xirou burst into laughter: "Sister's words are always so interesting."
Anyone else would have said "I don't dislike it" upon hearing this, but Qin Zhao just did the opposite.
"Dignified guests are coming, Bao Zhu. Go tell Bao Yu and ask her to cook more dishes." Qin Zhao ordered Bao Zhu.
Baozhu took the order and left: "Yes, empress!"
Qin Zhao and Wu Xirou chatted all over the place. Just as they were chatting, Qin Zhao heard familiar footsteps approaching, and the owner of these footsteps was none other than Xiao Ce.
Wu Xirou saw that Qin Zhao suddenly stopped talking and seemed to be deep in thought. She asked curiously: "Why doesn't sister talk?"
Qin Zhao came back to his senses and curled his lips with a smile: "Sorry, I got distracted."
Why is Xiao Ce here again?
If Wu Xirou wasn't here, she could pretend she was taking a nap so she wouldn't have to meet Xiao Ce.
But Wu Xirou was in the way. Although she knew Xiao Ce was coming, she could only pretend not to know, which was bad luck!
Qin Zhao cursed several times in his heart. At this time, Xiao Ce had led his troops to come, and the battle was huge.
An unfamiliar chamberlain's voice sounded: "The Emperor has arrived!"
Wu Xirou had already agreed with Xiao Ce that the two of them would cooperate and she would come to explore the way first so that Qin Zhao would not have an attack.
But when she heard that Xiao Ce had arrived, she was still full of joy and said to Qin Zhao, "Shall Sister Qin and I pick him up together?"
Qin Zhao wanted to ask what kind of driver she wanted to take. She had never had such a bad habit before.
In the end, she said nothing and accompanied Wu Xirou to pick up the driver.
Xiao Ce spared the two of them the courtesy and finally fixed his gaze on Qin Zhao's head.
Qin Zhao pretended not to know and planned to become a wallflower.
Even Wu Xirou could tell that Qin Zhao became taciturn as soon as Xiao Ce arrived. When they were alone just now, Qin Zhao talked endlessly, and was not at all as quiet as he was now.
Xiao Ce is also a quiet person. Although Wu Xirou tried her best to liven up the atmosphere, the two protagonists did not talk, and she alone could not heat up the scene.
Fortunately, it was time for lunch soon. When the dishes were served, Wu Xirou served Xiao Ce and Qin Zhao with dishes from time to time.
Seeing Wu Xirou trying so hard to liven up the atmosphere, Qin Zhao felt tired for Wu Xirou.
But, after all, this is a sadistic novel from the ancient times. It is not difficult to understand that the heroine Wu Xirou has a tendency to be sadistic.
Finding a good excuse for Wu Xirou, she gladly accepted the dish Wu Xirou brought over and rarely said the truth: "It's delicious."
"That's because Baoyu's cooking skills are good. Sister Qin is lucky to have a palace maid as versatile as Baoyu." Wu Xirou said with envy in her tone.
Xiao Ce didn't know what the purpose was at this time, so he said: "If the concubine Xian likes Baoyu, she can just let Baoyu serve the concubine Xian."
Qin Zhao's face changed slightly and he stood up, "Xiao Ce, how dare you?!"
Qiu Shui was originally observing the situation. When he saw Qin Zhao, he wanted to flip the table over. He hurriedly stepped forward to smooth things over: "My dear concubine, don't worry, the emperor was just joking."
"He's joking?! Do you think he's joking?" Qin Zhao was angry, pointing at Xiao Ce's nose and saying "he, he, he".
Qiu Shui complained endlessly.
Although I knew that the imperial concubine had a hot temper, she was too bold. The person the imperial concubine pointed at was the emperor, the king of Da Qi, and a big shot that everyone respected.
"I was indeed just joking." Xiao Ce, the person involved, did not think Qin Zhao was disrespectful.
It would be better for Qin Zhao to lose his temper than not say a word for a quarter of an hour.
This time it was Qin Zhaoqian's turn to stare. Xiao Ce said he was joking, but she lost her temper. Didn't this mean that she couldn't take a joke?
At this time, Wu Xirou also reacted and smoothed things over: "Yes, the emperor was just joking, but Sister Qin actually took it seriously. This only shows that Sister Qin cares about Baoyu. Besides, a talent like Baoyu, of course, should stay in Jinyang Palace
When I serve my sister, I don’t dare to take advantage of others.”
When Qin Zhao saw everyone looking at her, she coughed lightly, sat back down, and said calmly: "I just made a little joke, I don't want everyone to take it seriously."
Qiu Shui breathed a sigh of relief.
The imperial concubine almost flipped the table just now, that couldn't be a joke.
But the imperial concubine found a way out for herself, and of course she agreed unconditionally: "I am the most stupid servant. I believed it to be true. I was scared to death. It's all thanks to the imperial concubine's good acting skills."
When Xiao Ce heard this, he snorted with a half-smile.
Qin Zhao heard it clearly, but this time she was not reckless.
She just pointed at Xiao Ce's nose and spoke in front of everyone, which was extremely disrespectful. Xiao Ce didn't punish her, so she should be content.
Wu Xirou was busy changing the topic and trying to expose the matter.
Qin Zhao simply didn't say anything because he got angry once before and almost made a joke.
If she were not the owner of Jinyang Palace, she would have eaten her fill and left long ago.
However, the most basic etiquette should still be followed. Xiao Ce and Wu Xirou didn't finish eating, so she had to continue to accompany the guests.
After finally finishing dinner, Xiao Ce seemed to have no intention of leaving yet, so he carried little Atom into the dormitory to play.
