Later, Xiao Ce was afraid that Qin Zhao would have a hard time bending down, so he simply said to Qin Zhao: "You go out and rest, and I will give the child a bath."
"Will the Emperor do it?" Qin Zhao couldn't help but be a little worried.
"We also have Baozhu and Jixiang to help. Don't worry, I will help clean Xiao Atom." Xiao Ce looked at Qiu Shui as he spoke.
Qiu Shui understood and took Qin Zhao out of the clean room.
Qin Zhao looked a little dazed when he heard the voice coming from the clean room.
"Have you not had a good rest?" Qiu Shui also noticed that Qin Zhao's mental state was average.
Qin Zhao frowned slightly, his face showing fatigue: "There is not enough time for nap, just go to bed early tonight, I will be fine."
It’s just that I can’t bring myself to do anything. Maybe this is what the proverb calls the burnout period.
Qiushui couldn't help but ask again, so he just waited on the side.
Qin Zhao saw that Qiu Shui's expression was a little solemn and smiled: "I'm really fine. It's normal to feel a little tired occasionally."
"I hope your Majesty will be happy every day," Qiu Shui said sincerely.
"I am living happily every day now, don't worry." Qin Zhao comforted Qiu Shui in turn.
Qiu Shui nodded vigorously, not daring to continue this topic.
She could see that the imperial concubine was not as happy as before, even after she reconciled with the emperor.
After Xiao Ce washed Xiao Atom, Qin Zhao also quickly finished taking a bath.
She didn't have enough time to take a nap in the afternoon and was already sleepy.
But she still insisted on waiting for Xiao Ce to go to bed.
"Is Zhao Zhao sleeping?" Xiao Ce came out of the clean room and asked in a low voice.
Qin Zhao was already sleepy, and she spoke incoherently: "No, I'm waiting for the emperor."
Xiao Ce was relieved. Maybe he was overthinking, and Qin Zhao was actually the same as before.
He lay beside Qin Zhao and thought about it for a long time before saying: "When I am not so busy anymore, I will take you and Xiao Atom out of the palace for a walk. Where do you want to go?"
Qin Zhao didn't reply for a long time. He looked over and found that Qin Zhao had fallen asleep.
He sighed unconsciously.
It seems to be like this recently. Every time he comes over, he and Qin Zhao seldom talk, and every time she goes to bed first.
She used to talk a lot and seemed to have endless things to say every time she saw him. Now, just like what she said, she has nothing to say when she sees him.
He used to think that she was saying negative things, but now he realized that she was not lying.
That night, Xiao Ce hardly slept.
The next day, Zhang Jixiang knew that Xiao Ce had not slept well as soon as he saw Xiao Ce's face.
"Your Majesty, why didn't you take a rest?" Zhang Jixiang was puzzled.
Xiao Ce pursed his thin lips tightly and did not answer.
Zhang Jixiang immediately understood that Xiao Ce was not in a good mood, but the emperor came out of Jinyang Palace and was with the imperial concubine yesterday. Could it be that the imperial concubine made the emperor angry again?
But I didn't hear the two of them arguing yesterday. In that case, how could it be the imperial concubine who angered the emperor?
Zhang Jixiang thought about it and still couldn't figure out what went wrong, but he didn't dare to ask Xiao Ce what happened.
Because he didn't get enough rest, Xiao Ce was not in good spirits when he went to court.
When Zhao Yu started to play, he didn't wait for Xiao Ce's response for a long time. When he looked up in confusion, he found Xiao Ce staring at him with unpredictable eyes.
His heart trembled and he lowered his head.
Why did the Emperor look at him like this just now? Did something happen?
Fortunately, Xiao Ce did not make things difficult for him later, and the morning session was successfully completed, which made Zhao Yu breathe a sigh of relief.
I don't know if it was a psychological effect, but Zhao Yu's eyelids kept twitching, which made Zhao Yu wonder if something was going to happen.
It happened that in the afternoon of that day, news suddenly came out in Kyoto, and this news was related to his concubine Yueqing.
When he heard this rumor, his expression changed drastically.
Not only did he hear it, but Yue Qing also heard it. She hurried over to find Zhao Yu: "Eldest Young Master, are the rumors true?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Zhao Yu's face was already ugly, and now his eyes were filled with a storm.
There were tears in Yue Qing's eyes. She held her neck and asked, "Why did the young master only look at my concubine at that time?"
Her appearance is pretty good, but there are many people with better looks than her, so why is it her?
"Didn't the rumor give the answer? My good cousin didn't take Concubine Qin seriously at first, but after they reconciled, he couldn't let Concubine Qin go, so he simply found someone who was slightly similar to Concubine Qin.
Bring similar women into your home." Wu Xiyu's voice suddenly sounded.
Fortunately, she hadn't noticed it before, but Yue Qing turned out to be Qin Zhao's substitute.
After this rumor was announced, she suddenly felt that Yue Qing and Qin Zhao were somewhat similar. Not the similarity in facial features, but the similarity in ideology.
How do ordinary people discover this? Yue Qing herself doesn't know, and Qin Zhao himself probably doesn't know that the Yue Qing Zhao Yu is looking for is actually her substitute, right?
Zhao Yu's eyebrows gradually became sharp: "Wu Xiyu, how dare you talk nonsense here?! Aren't you afraid that I will divorce you?!"
"You can do it, are you still afraid of being criticized?" Wu Xiyu sneered and raised her lips: "Now that the matter has come to this, do you think I am afraid of being abandoned by you?"
From the moment she married Zhao Yu, she knew she had made the wrong choice, but she had no regret medicine to take. Even if she was unwilling, she could not turn back time.
If Zhao Yu really wants to divorce her, she can be completely freed.
"Come here, take Wu Xiyu down. You can't leave her yard without my order!" Zhao Yu quickly made a decision.
This rumor suddenly spread in Kyoto. He would not believe it if someone did not spread the news deliberately.
I don’t know who is deliberately spreading such rumors behind my back. Their intentions are to be punished.
"Young Master..." Yue Qing's voice awakened Zhao Yu from his thoughts.
Zhao Yuzheng looked into Shang Yueqing's tearful eyes. He quickly calmed down and asked in a deep voice: "What do you think about you like the imperial concubine?!"
Yue Qing was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to reply.
"Whether it's temperament or appearance, do you think you are a little bit like the imperial concubine?" Zhao Yu asked again in a cold voice.
Yueqing thought of Qin Zhao's face and felt that she was indeed not similar to Qin Zhao. So, she wrongly blamed Zhao Yu?
"I, I don't know," she said.
Zhao Yu sneered and said: "What others say, you would rather believe outsiders than me?"
Yue Qing met Zhao Yu's cold eyes. She was confused for a moment and said hurriedly: "That's not the case. I trust you."
"If you really believed in me, you wouldn't have come over to question me. Now someone is deliberately throwing dirty water on me and trying to put the blame on me. But you don't even believe the person next to you, and would rather believe the rumors. Let's go.
Well, I don’t want to see you.” Zhao Yu issued an eviction order.
Yueqing didn't dare to stay any longer and walked away in a hurry.
After returning to Lihuayuan, Xiaoling said to Yue Qing: "My aunt is nothing like the imperial concubine. My aunt, please don't think wildly."
"You don't think it's the same either?" Yue Qing asked.
