Chapter 1111: I should be soaked in the rain and dew
"???" Zhang Jixiang didn't understand the meaning of Xiao Ce's question for a moment.
"Why are Cui Jieyu and Zuo Zhaorong accompanying the driver and not the imperial concubine?" Xiao Ce couldn't understand.
Didn't that woman Qin Zhao say that she would be wherever he was? Why did she give up such a good opportunity to accompany him to other concubines in the harem?
"I think the imperial concubine will stay in the palace to accompany the young masters and masters in the harem to enjoy the flowers?" Zhang Jixiang asked.
He didn't know what the truth was.
It was clear that the imperial concubine was no longer favored at all, but she still did not seize the opportunity to get along with the emperor, and instead gave the opportunity to accompany Cui Jieyu and Zuo Zhaorong to Cui Jieyu and Zuo Zhaorong.
After pondering for a moment, Xiao Ce suddenly gave an order: "My decree, the noble concubine and Cui Jieyu will accompany you, and the flower viewing in the imperial garden will be in charge of the concubine Xian."
"My slave obeys the order!" Zhang Jixiang responded respectfully, but he did not expect that the emperor would suddenly ask his concubine to accompany him. This was a strange thing.
After that, Xiao Ce went to the Qinzheng Hall. After the civil and military ministers performed the rituals, he planned to accompany Xiao Ce to Mingyuan.
At this time, Qin Zhao appeared. She was wearing a solemn court dress, an equally solemn court crown, and round gold bead earrings, showing her dignity and elegance.
Today, Qin Zhao is wearing a rare heavy makeup. Her flaming red lips are bright and charming, and she is full of aura.
Xiao Yi, who was standing behind Xiao Ce, originally wanted to keep a low profile, but when he saw Qin Zhao, he unconsciously looked at Qin Zhao twice.
Reason told him that this was the emperor's brother's woman and he could not covet it, but there was another voice in his heart that said that Xiao Ce got her but did not cherish her. If it were him, he would rather trade all the women in the palace for Qin Zhao.
.
It's just that this kind of rebellious thought can only rot in his heart and cannot be expressed openly, otherwise the entire Prince An's Mansion will be ruined.
There was also another person in the crowd whose eyes passed through the crowd and fell on Qin Zhao.
When she appeared in his sight in court uniform, he secretly clenched his fists. This was the person he wanted but couldn't, and he shouldn't have any delusions.
From the moment she reconciled with him, he, Zhao Yu, no longer had a place in her life trajectory. He could only stand in a dark corner and watch her cry and laugh in the palace.
The only thing he can do is probably keep climbing up, climb to a high enough position, and be a little closer to her...
Shangshu An was standing very close to Zhao Yu. He clearly saw Zhao Yu's lonely look, and actually saw Prince An's gaze lingering on Concubine Qin for a little longer.
Speaking of which, this Concubine Qin is really a charming woman, no wonder she fascinates people like Prince An.
This scene today is really interesting...
Although Cui Jieyu also came here dressed up today, Qin Zhao was too outstanding, had too much aura, and was breathtakingly beautiful. Everyone ignored Cui Jieyu, including Xiao Ce.
This was the first time for Xiao Ce to see Qin Zhao wearing court clothes, and he also felt that Qin Zhao looked so beautiful dressed like this, which he liked.
When Xiao Ce reached out to Qin Zhao, Qin Zhao didn't know what he meant.
Xiao Ce was impatient, so he took her wrist and pulled her into the chariot.
Qin Zhao had sat in a royal chariot before, but that was a long time ago. Today, in such a formal occasion, sitting side by side with Xiao Ce in front of all the civil and military officials, she was a little uncomfortable.
"My concubine is not suitable to sit here." Qin Zhao felt that as a noble concubine, she could sit in the imperial chariot, but with Xiao Ce's bad temper, it always felt uncomfortable to let her sit in the imperial chariot on such a grand occasion.
Too scary.
"You are more suitable than Cui Jieyu." Xiao Ce discussed the matter.
Others may not understand what Xiao Ce said, but Qin Zhao understands it. After all, he is the man he has been with for two lifetimes.
What Xiao Ce meant was that she was a noble concubine and had a higher status than Qin Jieyu. If he needed a woman to accompany him, she would be more suitable than Cui Jieyu.
In Xiao Ce's heart, women have little value and are not necessary.
She stopped talking nonsense and just kept Little Atom in mind. From time to time she looked at Baozhu, who was holding Little Atom at the moment.
Xiao Cexu sensed Qin Zhao's absent-mindedness, and following her line of sight, he saw the cute little baby happily eating some snacks.
The moment he saw the child, he had to admit that Qin Zhao taught the child very well and was very smart.
His fingers were slightly itchy, and for a moment he had the impulse to hold the child in his hands, but in the end reason defeated his emotions, and he sat firmly in the chariot without making any move.
Qin Zhao made no secret of her love for the child. She glanced at the little guy from time to time, and the little guy called her from time to time. The mother and son interacted with each other along the way.
When Xiao Ce saw this scene, he felt something was wrong.
Since Qin Zhao said she couldn't live without him, why didn't she look at him when he was sitting next to her, and instead her attention was attracted to Xiao Atom?
Qin Zhao and Xiao Atom exchanged glances together, and suddenly felt a chill running down his spine.
She turned around in confusion, only to meet Xiao Ce's scrutinizing eyes.
This look was very familiar to her. Was he doubting her?
The next moment, Xiao Ce suddenly held her hand tightly, and she struggled subconsciously. Xiao Ce's strength increased instantly, causing pain to the bones of her hand.
"Your Majesty, can you be gentler?" Qin Zhao stopped struggling because she didn't know what Xiao Ce's scrutinizing eyes meant.
Before she could figure out his intentions, she had to deal with him carefully.
After Xiao Ce opened her mouth, he actually relaxed his strength and squeezed her hand gently, not knowing what he was planning on her.
When she was confused, Xiao Ce suddenly put his arm around her shoulders.
His sudden movement made Qin Zhao feel horrified.
Not to mention that Qin Zhao felt horrified, Xiao Ce himself was also horrified, simply because he refused to be too close to a woman, so holding Qin Zhao's shoulders was a tentative move he made only after he struggled for a long time.
But the moment he put his arms around Qin Zhaoxiang's shoulders, not only did he not reject her, he even felt that the woman's shoulders felt good under his hands.
"What does the emperor want to do?" Qin Zhao asked puzzledly, not knowing Xiao Ce's complex psychological activities.
Xiao Ce looked down at her and met her dark eyes, which were like black grapes, very beautiful.
"Didn't my beloved concubine say she was jealous of my favor and the fact that Cui Jieyu could sleep with me? You are my noble concubine, and I should be exposed to both rain and dew." Xiao Ce opened his thin lips lightly.
He just felt that this woman Qin Zhao was dishonest and said that she was jealous of other women, but that was not the case. Maybe this woman was lying to him.
He didn't believe what Zhang Jixiang said, so he might as well find the answer himself.
The moment he held her hand, she subconsciously resisted. Doesn't this mean that this woman was lying before?
The moment he put his arm around her shoulder, her body instantly became stiff. This body language could not deceive anyone.
