Just when Zhang Jixiang was thinking wildly, Wu Xirou came to the Yangxin Hall.
Wu Xirou also didn't expect that she came at just the right time, just when Xiao Ce was turning over his cards.
Of course she hopes to have the opportunity to sleep with him, and she also hopes that Xiao Ce will turn over her sign, but she also understands Xiao Ce's temperament, and it is not easy for her to want to sleep with him.
Not knowing what her state of mind was, she asked jokingly: "Can your Majesty change my concubine's name tonight?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ce glanced at Wu Xirou, and then ordered Mr. Jingshi Fang: "Step back."
After hearing this, Mr. Fang knew that the emperor was not going to change his mind, so how was he going to explain it to the Queen Mother Guo?
When Wu Xirou saw her father-in-law walking away, she stopped smiling. Just now she had the courage to say something outrageous. Although Xiao Ce didn't scold her directly, she knew that Xiao Ce didn't like her speaking so frivolously.
Xiao Ce's temperament has always been old-fashioned and serious, and he will not like frivolous girls, so it is impossible for someone like Qin Zhao to fall in Xiao Ce's eyes.
Thinking about it this way, she felt more at ease.
After that, she didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and ate in silence while accompanying Xiao Ce to dinner.
In her previous life, she was silently by Xiao Ce's side, either serving Xiao Ce's pen and ink, playing the piano to relieve Xiao Ce's boredom, or playing chess with Xiao Ce in his free time.
She felt that there was a tacit understanding between herself and Xiao Ce, which was the fundamental reason why Wu Xiyu was jealous of her and eventually killed her.
So this time, as long as she makes no mistakes, and given that she is now a virtuous concubine, if she is given a little more time, she can win Xiao Ce's people and heart, right?
Yes, she can't be too aggressive, otherwise her good hand will be ruined.
After dinner, she suggested: "Shall I accompany the emperor to eat?"
Xiao Ce had no objection.
Night was a rare time for rest, and it was rare for him to leave the Yangxin Hall for a walk.
Wu Xirou didn't want Xiao Ce to go to Jinyang Palace, let alone Xiao Ce and Qin Zhao, so she suggested, "Would the Emperor want to go to Zhongcui Palace?"
That is her territory, and it is unlikely that Qin Zhao will go to Zhongcui Palace.
Xiao Ce raised his head and fixed his gaze on a certain palace in front of him.
Wu Xirou followed Xiao Ce's line of sight and saw that it was Jinyang Palace.
Apart from the palaces of the queens of the past, only Jinyang Palace is the closest to the Yangxin Palace. This is why so many concubines are trying to live in Jinyang Palace.
And Jinyang Palace is the palace where every favorite concubine of the past dynasties lived.
Whether it was the former Concubine Wu or the current Concubine Qin...
Her eyes were dark and unclear, and she said insincerely: "Why don't you go to Jinyang Palace? Sister Qin is very good at chess. You can accompany the emperor to relieve his worries."
Zhang Jixiang didn't dare to say anything.
During the day, he was punished to kneel because of the imperial concubine, but this time he did not dare to mention the imperial concubine in front of his master.
Zhang Jixiang didn't dare to speak, and others even less dared to speak. Everyone waiting in front of the emperor remembered the scene where the emperor roared angrily in Jinyang Palace yesterday.
Just when everyone was waiting, Xiao Ce finally said: "Yes."
Zhang Jixiang almost dropped his jaw, and everyone else waiting in front of the emperor was also dumbfounded. Only Wu Xirou smiled softly, covering up the gloom in her eyes: "I can see the wonderful confrontation between the emperor and Sister Qin later.
."
Xiao Ce opened his mouth, and the mighty imperial team headed towards Jinyang Palace.
Everyone in Jinyang Palace learned that the emperor was coming, and they all came out to meet him.
Xiao Ce glanced around and saw no sign of Qin Zhao. Remembering that Qin Zhao was so bold and dared to do anything, he actually felt that it was reasonable for Qin Zhao not to come to pick him up.
He spared everyone's courtesy and was about to go to the main hall. Cui Jieyu, who had always been completely ignored, suddenly blocked Xiao Ce's way.
Xiao Ce didn't move his eyebrows, his eyes finally fixed on Cui Jieyu's face.
Cui Jieyu forced herself to calm down and whispered: "Your Majesty's cousin, Sister Qin is not in Jinyang Palace tonight. I heard that Sister Qin went to stay with the Empress Dowager."
Xiao Ce immediately thought of Qin Zhao's figure fleeing yesterday.
Qin Zhao would go to Shoukang Palace for a short stay, was he afraid that he would be held accountable?
"Now that you're here, does the emperor's cousin want to sit in the concubine's east side hall?" Cui Jieyu mustered up her courage and asked.
She is good at everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She may not be as good at chess as Qin Zhao, but she may not be inferior to Qin Zhao in other aspects.
"Show it to Shoukang Palace." Xiao Ce gave an oral instruction without even looking at Cui Jieyu.
Shoukang Palace.
Qin Zhao was talking to the Empress Dowager when she suddenly heard Xiao Ce's footsteps approaching. She was stunned for a moment before she realized. Xiao Ce was coming, should she avoid it?
Lest Xiao Ce see her get angry again.
As long as a sensible person like Xiao Ce is given some time, he will no longer blame her, Meng Lang.
"Girl Zhao, what's wrong with you?" Seeing Qin Zhao's eyes straighten, the Empress Dowager couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"I'm a little uncomfortable, I want to take a rest early, is that okay?" Qin Zhao pretended to be weak and looked at the Empress Dowager and asked.
Of course the Queen Mother would not embarrass Qin Zhao, "If you feel uncomfortable, go and rest. Do you want to ask the imperial doctor to come over and treat you?"
"No need, I will be fine if I sleep for a while." After Qin Zhao finished speaking, he hurried away.
Grandma Li looked at Qin Zhao's hurried appearance and felt that Qin Zhao didn't look unwell, but rather seemed to be running away.
"This girl is already a mother, but she is still so irritable." The Empress Dowager shook her head and sighed.
At this moment, a chamberlain came in and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor is here."
"How come A Ce is here at this hour?" The Empress Dowager was extremely surprised.
I heard that there was an unpleasant quarrel between Qin Zhao and Xiao Ce recently. Unfortunately, Qin Zhao just went to rest, otherwise she could mediate the situation.
Soon Xiao Ce entered and saluted the Empress Dowager, but did not see Qin Zhao.
When Wu Xirou saw this detail, she took the initiative to ask Qin Zhao: "Excuse me, the Empress Dowager, where is Sister Qin?"
"That girl is feeling unwell and has to rest." The Empress Dowager replied.
"That's a coincidence." Xiao Ce snorted coldly.
As soon as he came, she felt unwell. What a coincidence?
"Don't accuse Zhao girl unfairly. She didn't know that you were coming, A Ce, so she told the Ai family that she was going to have a rest. After she went to rest, the Ai family didn't know that you were coming." The Empress Dowager hurriedly defended Qin Zhao.
"Don't you think it's a coincidence, Imperial Grandmother? When I wasn't here, she didn't feel sick. When I came, she felt sick and asked to leave to rest." Xiao Ce was still skeptical.
Qin Zhao, who had hid in the dormitory early, felt that Xiao Ce was too suspicious, but he was right to the point. She did know that he was coming, so she hid.
The strangest thing was that she suddenly heard Xiao Ce saying that he wanted to visit her as a "patient", and even asked Zhang Jixiang to ask Dr. Wu.
