Chapter 11 Making a chance encounter with His Royal Highness
As soon as he walked out of the study, Qin Zhao's slightly bent back straightened up. Baoyu saw the faint smile on Qin Zhao's lips and asked curiously: "Is grandma in a good mood?"
She felt that the master did not seem to be persuaded.
"It's okay." Qin Zhao turned back and glanced in the direction of the study.
As soon as she walked into the study room, she noticed an unusual smell, which was unique to Xiao Ce.
She was lucky. Xiao Ce happened to come to the Zhao Mansion today and happened to be in the study.
Although Mrs. Zhao, an old fox, was not moved by her, what she just said was meant for Xiao Ce, and she felt that it should have some effect.
With how busy Xiao Ce is, he has basically forgotten her as a person, right? Just now she made Xiao Ce remember her again, and this was her glimmer of hope.
"Grandma, where are you going?" Baoyu soon realized that this was not the way back to Rose Garden, so he caught up and asked.
"Wander around as you like."
Qin Zhao said he was looking around casually, but he went to Xiao Yuan accurately.
If Xiao Ce is not in a hurry to return to the palace, she may come to Xiao Yuan. If Xiao Ce can stay in Xiao Yuan for one night before returning to the palace, then she can also find a way to increase her presence in front of Xiao Ce.
Now it depends on her luck.
"This is Xiaoyuan, the exclusive residence of His Royal Highness. Grandma, let's go?" Baoyu felt uncomfortable as soon as he entered Xiaoyuan.
Although there are no guards guarding him, no one dares to enter the place where His Highness the Crown Prince lives.
"I think this is the place where I feel most comfortable in Zhao Mansion."
Qin Zhao said to Baoyu, "Go and bring a deck chair over. I'm tired and want to rest here for a while."
Baoyu's eyes widened when she heard this. She looked around and whispered, "Should we go back to Rose Garden to rest?"
If others see his master lingering in Xiaoyuan, he will probably attract criticism.
"I can't walk anymore. I want to rest for a while and then go back, can't I?" Qin Zhao said, looking at Baoyu with his big eyes.
Baoyu couldn't stand Qin Zhao's sad little look. She nodded repeatedly: "Of course, grandma, wait a moment, I will go right away."
She quickly moved a bamboo chair out and said, "I can only move this bamboo chair. Grandma is tired. Please sit down and rest for a while."
Qin Zhao sat down as he was told, but it was uncomfortable for her to lean against. Baoyu immediately noticed something was wrong and hurriedly ran over again to find a bed for Qin Zhao and put a thin quilt on Qin Zhao's waist.
Qin Zhao sighed with satisfaction: "Our Baoyu is still the most careful."
Baoyu blushed with embarrassment and said, "Serving a good master is the duty of a slave. Grandma is exaggerating."
Qin Zhao smiled and looked at the long white clouds floating in the sky, and she soon fell asleep.
After Xiao Ce and Taifu Zhao finished discussing the business, he wanted to leave the Zhao mansion directly, but he thought of Qin Zhao.
After returning to the palace, he was busy with government affairs and quickly forgot about Mrs. Qin. Today, when he heard her sweet voice in Taifu Zhao's study, her big dark eyes appeared in front of him.
He walked to Xiao Yuan unknowingly, and when he saw clearly the master and servant in front of the main house, he fixed his eyes.
Zhang Jixiang didn't follow him last time. This time he saw someone daring to act recklessly in Xiaoyuan, so he wanted to step forward and yell at them.
Xiao Ce glanced at him, and he immediately retreated to Xiao Ce's side, not daring to be presumptuous again.
Baoyu felt something strange behind her, and turned around to see Xiao Ce. Her expression changed slightly, and she was about to shake her master awake, but Xiao Ce stopped her with a gesture.
Baoyu stepped aside, while Xiao Ce stood in front of Qin Zhao, looking down at her...
