"They just want to see me being jealous. They also don't think that I am just a guest and not His Highness's woman. Is it possible that I can still question His Highness why he favors Wang Liangyuan?" Qin Zhao also found it ridiculous.
In her previous life, she had endless jealousy and endless competition for favors. She was too afraid of such a life. Now that she thinks about it, it is unbelievable that in that life, she lived such a life every day and actually enjoyed it.
Maybe people who are passionately in love are always so unreasonable.
"As long as you don't mind, girl." Seeing Qin Zhao being so calm, Bao Zhu also breathed a sigh of relief.
She also understood what Baoyu had figured out. No matter how good your Highness is, he is not a beloved person, just because His Highness's identity and status are too respected, and His Highness is also too nice. There are too many women who like His Highness.
If a girl is involved, she will get hurt sooner or later.
"I will stay at Wangyue Residence for the next few days and won't go out to avoid causing trouble." Qin Zhao said and went to the study.
Bao Zhu and Bao Yu stepped forward to serve, but found that the girl was a little absent-minded.
"Is there something on your mind, girl?" Baoyu couldn't hide his worry.
Is it because His Highness favored Wang Liangyuan that the girl remembered it in her heart?
"Well, I always feel that living in the East Palace is not a good thing, but His Highness the Crown Prince won't let me go for the time being. I hope His Highness will allow me to leave the palace after the Dragon Boat Festival." Qin Zhao shook off his thoughts and focused on reading and practicing calligraphy.
Although she is determined to learn well, her talent is not high, so her progress is very slow. If, as Xiao Ce said, she cannot leave the palace if she cannot learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, wouldn't she be trapped here forever?
It was night, when Xiao Ce came to Wangyueju, Qin Zhao was still working hard.
He stepped forward and picked up a copybook on which she had written, shook his head and sighed: "You said you worked hard, but the words you wrote are like this?"
In fact, it is much better than before, but in his opinion, these words are still not good enough.
"Is it bad?" Qin Zhao had no self-confidence to begin with, so it was a bit hard to accept such a blow from Xiao Ce.
She has obviously been working very hard recently, but she just has no talent, so what can she do?
Xiao Ce saw the confusion and uncertainty in her eyes, so he didn't soften his heart this time and gave her a one-word review: "Poor!"
Qin Zhao suddenly wilted and pursed his lips in silence.
"There is room for improvement only if you are poor." Xiao Ce was afraid of hitting him too hard, so he comforted him with a meaning.
Qin Zhao stopped reading. She looked up at Xiao Ce and asked, "How many years do I have to study to achieve what His Highness the Crown Prince said about learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?"
"This..." Xiao Ce seemed to be embarrassed and found it difficult to say anything.
When Qin Zhao saw his expression, he knew what he wanted to express.
Therefore, she will never meet the standards he wants in her life. In other words, she will never leave the palace.
For now, there is only one way, to try to marry herself off, so that Xiao Ce has no reason to care about her anymore.
"People's daughters know. In the future, people's daughters will work harder and more diligently to cultivate themselves into excellent women both internally and externally. Your Highness will also welcome guests from all over the world tomorrow. Please rest early. People's daughters will rest after reading for a while."
Zhao said, focusing on studying.
This is different from what Xiao Ce expected.
He thought that Qin Zhao was depressed and had given up the idea of leaving the palace. But now it seems that he used too much force and failed to achieve the expected results.
He was not in a hurry to return to the main hall, but stayed at the desk as a companion, and occasionally helped Qin Zhao study ink.
It has to be said that Xiao Ce's presence was too strong. Although Qin Zhao wanted to concentrate, he was still affected by this handsome man Xiao Ce.
"Is there anything else, Your Highness?" Qin Zhao looked at Xiao Ce.
When she faced Xiao Ce's handsome face, she thought that beauty could be misleading. She would never be fooled by this face again in this life.
"There is a Dragon Boat Festival celebration tomorrow, and you have been stuck at Wangyue Residence all day. How about I take you to the celebration tomorrow?" Xiao Ce thought to himself, if he wants her to stay willingly, he must give her some sweetness.
Qin Zhao didn't know what Xiao Ce was thinking.
When she heard that she could also participate in the celebration, her eyes lit up, but she quickly reluctantly refused: "No, my status as a civilian girl is not suitable, and I shouldn't go to such an important occasion."
She can't hold Xiao Ce back, so as not to make everyone laugh at Xiao Ce. Especially for an important occasion like tomorrow. I heard that other border countries will come to celebrate. If she goes, people from other countries will think that Xiao Ce
There was no one around Ce, so he could only bring a woman like her who was not on the stage to attend the celebration.
This was inconsistent with etiquette, and she didn't want to do such a thing to embarrass Xiao Ce.
"That's it. You get up early tomorrow and let Qiushui come over to dress you up. Then you and Gu will attend the celebration together." Xiao Ce ignored Qin Zhao's opinion and went ahead to make a final decision.
Qin Zhao was dumbfounded: "Your Highness, you can't do this..."
He should think about the fact that she is a concubine, and it is strange for him, the crown prince, to have her by his side.
Xiao Ce touched her head: "Gu is the prince. Although Gu's words are not an imperial edict, they still have weight. If Gu says it's okay, then it's no problem."
Qin Zhao was about to cry but had no tears: "But the daughter of the people does not want to become the public enemy of the whole people. Can His Highness the Crown Prince spare me?"
Did she hug her thighs too much? This kind of favor would kill her!
"What do you think?" Xiao Ce smiled, his thin lips forming a beautiful curve.
He was in a good mood and wanted to leave. Qin Zhao hugged his thigh and said, "No, Your Highness, please think about it again. For the sake of our Daqi's face, Your Highness cannot act so willfully."
Doesn't he feel that bringing her, a concubine with no appearance, figure, or status, is an embarrassment to him and the face of the Qi Kingdom?
Xiao Ce didn't expect Qin Zhao to be such a rogue. Looking at her proficiency, she seemed to have practiced many times before.
"Whose leg have you hugged before?" Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao coldly.
Yes, sometimes he would forget that she was married before, and she was Zhao Yu's ex-wife.
So before Heli, did she often hug Zhao Yu's thigh like this?
When Qin Zhao received Xiao Ce's cold eyes, she realized that her behavior was inappropriate. She quickly let go of her hand and sat down properly: "The daughter of the people sends your highness to the crown prince!"
Forget it, she wasn't the one to embarrass her anyway. If Xiao Ce was so willful, it was all Xiao Ce's business. He wasn't even afraid. She was so thick-skinned, so what was she afraid of?
"I'm asking you a question, don't change the subject!" Xiao Ce's tone and expression were not friendly.
Qin Zhao thought to himself: What does this mean?
Doesn’t she just like to hug his thigh? Who else could she be besides him?
"The daughter of the people hugged His Highness's leg. However, the daughter of the people has realized her mistake and will not dare to be presumptuous in the future." Qin Zhao said cautiously: "Your Highness, please forgive the daughter of the people this time, okay?"
"Not a word of truth." Xiao Ce made it clear that he didn't believe Qin Zhao's words.
