Seeing this scene, the Empress Dowager shook her head and sighed: "That's all, you can do whatever you want. The Ai family doesn't care."
Maybe it was because she was trying to reconcile things too much that made Xiao Ce have a rebellious mentality, so he might as well just let nature take its course.
"Grandma, just take care of yourself. There is no need for Grandma to worry about the matters between me and the concubine." Xiao Ce in turn comforted the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager simply said that he was just talking and dropped the topic.
Qin Zhao finished lunch with the Empress Dowager and then returned to the East Room to rest.
She was so tired that she skipped the digestion process, fell on the bed and fell asleep.
When Baozhu saw Qin Zhao sleeping, she was about to exit the room, but found Xiao Ce coming over, and she hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Back off." Xiao Ce waved his hand and pushed back the orb.
Bao Zhu was a little worried, but he didn't dare to stay. He retreated outside and waited.
Xiao Ce went to the bed and looked at the sleeping Qin Zhao in a daze.
The first time he came to Shoukang Palace and saw Qin Zhao, he found that she was in poor spirits and was not as sharp as usual. This meant that she was indeed very tired last night and did not sleep well.
This is really a squeamish woman who can't stand it. He was merciful last night.
If he indulges more, wouldn't she have to die under him?
If you look carefully during the day, you will find that this woman's facial features are very delicate, her skin is beautiful, and she is very attractive.
Qin Zhao was sleeping deeply. He had no idea that Xiao Ce was coming, and he still felt that he disliked her.
She slept for two full hours and didn't get up until evening.
Baozhu told about Xiao Ce's visit, and Qin Zhao was a little confused: "Why didn't the emperor wake me up when he came?"
This doesn't look like Xiao Ce's domineering temperament.
"This servant also felt strange. Maybe he didn't wake up the queen because he saw her sleeping deeply. The emperor didn't leave until half an hour after he came." Baozhu said again.
Moreover, there are no books in this room. The emperor stayed here for half an hour. How did he pass the time?
"The emperor is just the same person for a while, don't pay attention to him." Qin Zhao quickly forgot about Xiao Ce.
She felt much better after getting some sleep. After all, she was still young and recovered quickly.
After taking Luo Qing's prescription, the Empress Dowager had a better appetite and ate a lot of dinner.
Qin Zhao specially accompanied the Empress Dowager to eat, and the Empress Dowager took the opportunity to give Qin Zhao some ideological education, just to ask her to be softer in front of Xiao Ce and not to confront Xiao Ce head-on.
The old man also said that Xiao Ce was soft-spoken and would treat her well whenever she showed weakness.
Qin Zhao understood all these truths, and also knew that the old man was being very seductive for her own good.
She was embarrassed to tell the Empress Dowager about her bedtime last night. At least it meant that her relationship with Xiao Ce was not as tense as before, right?
In the next two days, Qin Zhao did not see Xiao Ce, and the Empress Dowager's body returned to normal, so she returned to Jinyang Palace.
Several days passed and the harem was very peaceful.
Xiao Ce occasionally walked around the harem, but he never turned over the signs of any concubines.
Zhang Jixiang has not wanted to carry the brand recently. After all, it is unnecessary and the emperor has no desire to turn over the brand.
But he still did it as a routine and sent the sign to Xiao Ce that night, intending to show it off so that he would have an excuse if Empress Dowager Guo pursued her.
Unexpectedly, this time he handed over the card, and Xiao Ce accurately turned over Qin Zhao's green card.
This unexpected scene surprised Zhang Jixiang.
Xiao Ce had nothing to say after that, and Zhang Jixiang was sure of one thing: the emperor had indeed turned over the imperial concubine's name.
He thought that the emperor only had a temporary interest in the imperial concubine. After all, it had been seven days since that night in Shoukang Palace.
During these seven days, the emperor never mentioned the imperial concubine, nor did he go to Jinyang Palace to visit the imperial concubine. He thought that night was just a flash in the pan.
Now it seems that the imperial concubine is still different from other concubines.
And this is definitely a good thing.
He excitedly went to Jinyang Palace to invite Qin Zhao. Qin Zhao did not expect Zhang Jixiang to come: "Are you sure you have turned over my name?"
Anyway, after that night, except for her meeting with Xiao Ce the next day, they never met again. During this period, Xiao Ce occasionally walked around the harem, but he never set foot in Jinyang Palace.
Today, she suddenly found her brand, which really surprised her.
"This slave cannot be mistaken. Your Majesty, please prepare quickly and follow me to the Palace of Cultivation of the Heart," Zhang Jixiang said cheerfully.
Although Qin Zhao was a little confused, he didn't worry about it anymore.
This situation is similar to the previous life.
In his previous life, Xiao Ce ignored her for half a month after he went to bed with her for the first time, and even walked around the harem, but then Xiao Ce turned on her.
It was half a month in the previous life, but seven days this time. This is indeed Xiao Ce's way of doing things.
She shouldn't be surprised.
Firstly, this is Xiao Ce's slow-moving temperament. Secondly, Xiao Ce is an emperor and follows the rules all his life. As an emperor, he wants to be exposed to both rain and dew, so he waited seven days before flipping her sign this time, which is in line with his temperament.
If it only takes a month to check her brand, it would be more like Xiao Ce's temperament.
After Qin Zhao entered the Yangxin Hall, he went to the bedroom in the back hall without looking for Xiao Ce.
Anyway, I'm here to pay homage to you, so it's better to wait in the palace.
After Xiao Ce finished his work, he realized that Qin Zhao had not shown up yet. He looked at Zhang Jixiang, who immediately understood and explained: "The imperial concubine knew that the emperor was busy, so she did not disturb the emperor's handling of government affairs. She is currently in the back hall.
Waiting."
Xiao Ce opened his lips indifferently: "The noble concubine is quite sensible."
Zhang Jixiang did not hear the irony in Xiao Ce's words, and responded hurriedly: "That's right, the imperial concubine is the most considerate among all the masters and mistresses in the harem."
Xiao Ce was too lazy to pay attention to Zhang Jixiang and went directly to the back palace.
When he entered the bedroom, he saw Qin Zhao reading a book.
Qin Zhao had taken a bath, and his long hair was shawl, making his face appear smaller and more delicate.
Xiao Ce watched for a while before approaching Qin Zhao.
When Qin Zhao knew that Xiao Ce was coming, she stood up, bowed, and continued reading, enjoying herself.
Xiao Ce ignored Qin Zhao. After washing up, he came to Qin Zhao, picked her up and carried her to the bed...
Zhang Jixiang took everyone and left with a smile on his face.
If this continues, maybe the imperial concubine will have another little prince or princess in the future.
An hour later, calm returned to the dormitory.
Qin Zhao endured the pain all over his body, stood up and said, "I'm going to the west for a while."
She knew that Xiao Ce didn't like sleeping in the same bed with women, and the last time he was in Shoukang Palace was an exception, and the most important thing in Yangxin Palace was the dormitory.
"My dear concubine, you are sensible." Xiao Ce was originally in a good mood, but when he saw Qin Zhao's self-consciousness, he found it annoying and stabbed her.
