Seeing Qin Zhao yawning continuously, Zhang Jixiang looked sleepy and yawned from time to time.
At this moment, he couldn't help but yawned again, but Xiao Ce suddenly looked over. He was so frightened that he opened his mouth wide and forgot to close it for a moment.
Seeing his stupidity, Xiao Ce casually picked up a booklet and threw it over.
Zhang Jixiang didn't dare to hide, and the memorial almost hit him on the head. He was so frightened that he fell to his knees and said, "I know I was wrong."
It's all the imperial concubine's fault. Normally, he wouldn't be like this. He was infected by the imperial concubine.
Qin Zhao was also yawning just now. Seeing this scene, the sleeping bug flew away. She was glad that she was not caught by Xiao Ce. Unexpectedly, Xiao Ce suddenly looked at her: "I'm waiting in front of the emperor to let my beloved concubine take a nap."
of?!"
Qin Zhao was stunned and thought, wasn't he concentrating on dealing with government affairs? How did he know that she was yawning?
"No, I didn't doze off." She just secretly yawned a few times.
Xiao Ce's face turned gloomier when he saw her harsh words.
At this time, Qin Zhao defended himself without fear of death: "I have no less work to do, and the emperor cannot wrongly accuse me."
"Perhaps we should bring a chaise longue for my beloved concubine." Xiao Ce said through gritted teeth.
He disliked people who were inattentive to their work. She actually dared to yawn continuously, which even affected Zhang Jixiang.
"Yes, is it okay?" Qin Zhaoxin thought it was true.
When she saw Xiao Ce's sinister smile, she hurriedly made up for it: "I understand the emperor's kindness, but since you are serving pen and ink in front of the emperor, you should be serious and focused. I still feel that serving the emperor is the most important thing!"
Xiao Ce didn't say anything, and Qin Zhaona said: "Actually, I can also massage. The emperor must be tired. How about I help the emperor give him a massage?"
Xiao Ce looked at the mountains of papers piled up on the table, and finally said feebly: "My beloved, it's better to return to Jinyang Palace."
She stood here and accomplished nothing. She yawned from time to time, which affected his concentration, and also affected Zhang Jixiang. This woman failed to accomplish anything but failed more than she could.
Qin Zhao's eyes lit up and he responded hurriedly: "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that Xiao Ce's expression was wrong, so she tried to make up for it: "I, my concubine, have to retire. Your Majesty must also take care of your health and balance work with rest."
Then she told Zhang Jixiang: "Zhang Jixiang, you must supervise the emperor and not make him too tired. The emperor is the backbone of Daqi, the backbone of all the people, and nothing can happen to the harem sisters."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I would like to send you my best regards, Your Majesty." Zhang Jixiang hoped that Qin Zhao could leave quickly. Didn't you see that the Emperor's face looked ugly?
Qin Zhao explained something and quickly walked away.
Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao's cheerful back and suddenly regretted letting this woman leave. She was happy, patted her butt and left.
She stayed here for an hour, and he only dealt with this little detail...
Facts have proved that Xiao Ce's decision was right. As soon as Qin Zhao left, his work efficiency improved rapidly. At dusk, all the papers had been reviewed.
Zhang Jixiang breathed a sigh of relief, and at this time, the minister's father-in-law brought up the green-headed cards for the concubines in the harem.
Zhang Jixiang felt that this was also a blind person. He knew that the emperor had been busy all afternoon and was too tired to lift his arms, but he still dared to hand the sign to the emperor. Wasn't this just making the emperor unhappy?
If nothing unexpected happened, it was Empress Dowager Guo who was behind the scenes.
When Xiao Ce saw the green-headed card handed over by Jingshifang's father-in-law, he waved his hand without thinking: "Take it."
"Your Majesty, you can't do it! The Empress Dowager told me that the Emperor must turn over the cards tonight, otherwise the Empress Dowager will come over and personally help the Emperor choose the master who will sleep with him." The father-in-law of the Jingshifang knelt down on the ground and said tremblingly.
On one side is the pressure from the Queen Mother, on the other side is the pressure from Lord Long Live. Only a little ant like him is caught between the two sides, and he is not a human being.
Xiao Ce looked unpredictable and expressionless.
The respectful father-in-law did not dare to look at Xiao Ce and added in a low voice: "The Queen Mother's phoenix body is against the will. Miss Luo said that the Queen Mother needs a good rest..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ce suddenly said: "Tonight, the imperial concubine will sleep with you."
As soon as he said this, Zhang Jixiang was dumbfounded, and his father-in-law was also confused. He didn't hand over the concubine's sign at all, but the emperor still chose the concubine to serve as his bedmate, so how could he explain it to the empress dowager?
"You can get out!" Xiao Ce ordered quietly.
Mr. Fang didn't dare to delay, so he had to get up in a hurry and hurried back to Cihe Palace to resume his duties.
"Does the emperor really want to find the imperial concubine to sleep with him?" Zhang Jixiang felt that this was probably not true.
After the last time the imperial concubine stayed in bed, he felt that the room did not look like he had stayed in bed.
Later, the emperor never asked the imperial concubine to sleep with him again, so he felt that his guess was right.
Under such circumstances today, the emperor asked the imperial concubine to sleep with him, probably because he wanted to deal with the queen mother.
"I have spoken, and it is the imperial edict. Just go and deliver it." Xiao Ce waved his hand and said impatiently.
She even intervened in his affairs in the house, and the Queen Mother was becoming more and more lenient. Unless it was because of the Queen Mother's poor health, why did he need to give in everywhere?
In Jinyang Palace, Qin Zhaocai had dinner, and Zhang Jixiang came over to convey the imperial edict, announcing that she would sleep with him tonight.
"I'll go there by myself later." Although Qin Zhao was surprised that Xiao Ce suddenly asked her to sleep with him, she felt that it should still be a fake bed attendant like last time.
Xiao Ce is a very slow-tempered person, and it is impossible for him to let anyone he is not familiar with get close to her, especially her, a woman he dislikes.
"Your Majesty, this...is against the rules." Zhang Jixiang looked embarrassed.
"If the emperor is held accountable at that time, I will explain to the emperor that you just need to return to the imperial court and resume your life." Qin Zhao opened his lips calmly.
She was so impressive that Zhang Jixiang only hesitated for a moment before retreating.
As soon as Zhang Jixiang left, Baohong immediately went to Qin Zhao and said: "Congratulations to the empress, congratulations to the empress!"
My master was very proud.
A few days ago, the imperial concubine was still the object of disdain by the emperor. Now she has surpassed others and has the opportunity to sleep with her. She slaps many people in the face and they, the maidservants, also benefit from the glory.
Qin Zhao was dumbfounded: "What's so congratulatory?"
She wasn't really sleeping with him, but she couldn't tell the truth. Even if she was really sleeping with him, it wouldn't be an honorable thing worthy of praise.
"This is a great event, of course I have to congratulate you!" Baohong was extremely excited: "My queen must dress up well tonight and make the emperor fascinated!"
Qin Zhao gave her a fake smile and silently broached the topic.
After that, Qin Zhao casually changed into a set of simple clothes after taking a bath, with his long hair tied up in a simple bun, and of course without makeup, and just left Jinyang Palace in a clear and shameless manner. Baohong thought a lot about this.
