Chapter 1231: Gathering the hearts of men, this palace is better than you
After getting dressed, Xiao Ce turned to look at Qin Zhao, who was still sleeping peacefully.
Her cloud-like hair was spread out like silk, covering half of her beautiful face. Her eyelashes were long and curled, casting a deep shadow.
He leaned forward and gently pushed the hair away from her face, revealing her small palm-sized face. Perhaps because she was too tired, she looked a little pitiful.
"Your Majesty, it's getting late." Zhang Jixiang reminded his master when he saw that he was fascinated.
Xiao Ce then walked out of the dormitory, and everyone waiting outside came forward to see him off.
He slowed down and said quietly: "No one is allowed to disturb the imperial concubine's sleep."
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.
It wasn't until the imperial team marched away that everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Bao Zhu entered the room quietly and saw Qin Zhao sleeping deeply. For a moment, he didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
The emperor is becoming more and more interested in the body of the empress. Even before the accident, the emperor has never visited the concubine like this day and night. This is obviously because the emperor loves the empress.
But is this out of love for the empress, or is it out of fascination with the body of the imperial concubine?
She turned around while thinking, only to find Baolan standing not far behind her, looking at the imperial concubine in a daze, seemingly worried.
"Everyone, get out." Bao Zhu ordered softly, saying this to Bao Lan.
Baolan left the dormitory as he was told, still distracted.
"You seem to have a lot on your mind." Bao Zhu suddenly said to Bao Lan.
When Bao Lan woke up from her dream, she tugged at the corners of her lips: "The Emperor values your concubine more and more, but I'm just a little worried."
"Anyway, the emperor is protecting you in the heavy rain, so why should you be afraid?" Baozhu said without comment.
"That's true. Having the Emperor to protect you is your greatest support." Baolan smiled and ended the topic.
In the dormitory, Qin Zhao worked hard for half the night and fell into a drowsy sleep. When he got up, he yawned repeatedly and complained to Baozhu: "Serving the emperor is really hard work."
Bao Zhu wanted to laugh, but in the end he said seriously: "Only the empress in the entire harem has such a hard life."
Qin Zhao thought so, is this her honor?
No matter how fickle Xiao Ce is, he is still clean and has not touched other women. When she is working hard to serve him, he is not too distant.
Thinking about it this way, she felt that it didn't matter if she worked harder.
Xiao Linzi had been waiting outside for a long time. When he saw Qin Zhao finally waking up, he went inside and informed her: "The emperor just went to Yongning Zhai."
Qin Zhao was stunned: "Why did the emperor go to Yongningzhai suddenly?"
It couldn't be that because she mentioned it last night, Xiao Ce went to see Princess Yongning. But she felt that this kind of thing could not happen to Xiao Ce.
In this case, there is only one possibility: Princess Yongning lured Xiao Ce to Yongningzhai.
An hour later, news came out from the harem that the eldest princess Yongning had been lifted.
Xiao Linzi reported the matter to Qin Zhao as soon as he received the news. Qin Zhao's face darkened after hearing this. She did not expect that Princess Yongning could be released under such circumstances.
Not long after, the eldest princess Yongning came to see Qin Zhao in a full dress, with the intention of demonstrating.
At that time, Qin Zhao was in the study.
"You all should step aside, I and the imperial concubine have something to say." Princess Yongning gave an order.
Baozhu looked at Qin Zhao, and Qin Zhao waved his hand, signaling for them all to step back.
It wasn't until everyone exited the study that Princess Yongning spoke slowly: "Your concubine must be curious about why the emperor lifted my ban? I came here specifically to clear up your doubts."
Qin Zhao was really curious about how Princess Yongning made Xiao Ce relent. She looked at Princess Yongning and found that Princess Yongning's expression was a bit gloomy.
"I just want to tell you the truth. My mother died in the hands of the Queen Mother Guo. The reason why I haven't been able to get married until now is because the Queen Mother Guo is afraid of me and doesn't want to marry me. Although my brother, the Emperor,
He is cold-hearted, but he is fair, so I bet on this, and I won." A sneer flashed in Princess Yongning's eyes.
Qin Zhao did not expect this to be the reason, but she also knew that it was indeed the best choice for Princess Yongning to gamble on this matter.
"It has been some time since the last incident. I mentioned it again when the emperor brother was calming down, and the success rate of walking out of Yongning Zhai increased again." Princess Yongning looked at Qin Zhao, without any smile in her eyes: "
How do you think my scheming compares to yours?"
Qin Zhao curled his lips: "I have no interest in scheming with irrelevant people."
Princess Yongning became angry when she heard Qin Zhao's frivolous tone: "If you didn't have the favor of the emperor, you would be just an ordinary person in this palace. In front of me, what do you have to be proud of?"
Qin Zhao raised his eyelids lightly and met the indignant eyes of Princess Yongning. She curled her lips sarcastically: "It's no fun trying to scheming with you, but when it comes to winning over this man's heart, I think I'm a step ahead of you."
When Princess Yongning heard this, her expressions were ever-changing and exquisite.
"So what if you walk out of Yongningzhai? Sooner or later you will still have to get married, and the person you marry cannot be Cheng Jin. If you think you have used all your means to make people think you are having an affair with Cheng Jin, Cheng Jin will
Marry you? The funny thing is, you have already lost, Cheng Jin looks down on you from the bottom of his heart, and I am very sure that the person Cheng Jin cares about is Xiao Yu." Qin Zhao simply spoke openly.
The first step for Princess Yongning is to leave Yongningzhai, and the next step is to get close to Cheng Jin, and she may even try to force Cheng Jin to marry her.
However, after all, there is Xiao Ce above the eldest princess Yongning, and it is definitely impossible for the eldest princess Yongning to do whatever she wants.
No matter how bad things go, she, as a noble concubine, can still suppress the eldest princess Yongning.
"The emperor's treatment of the concubine is indeed different, but no matter how different it is, the concubine still has to compete with so many concubines in the harem for a man. As for the matter between me and Ajin, the concubine does not have to worry about it." Princess Yongning stood up: "
I have come here to advise the noble concubine not to meddle in matters that should not be involved. This is a personal grudge between me and Xiao Yu, and it is also my emotional matter. If the noble concubine persists in her obsession, I will never let it go."
The person she wants to get will never give up easily.
Qin Zhao looked at the back of Princess Yongning and said lightly: "You may have thought wrong. Even if you face Xiao Yu, you have no chance of winning, because Xiao Yu has won Cheng Jin's heart."
However, the eldest princess Yongning is too conceited and thinks that she can get whatever she wants, which is simply ridiculous and foolish.
Princess Yongning looked back at Qin Zhao: "We'll see."
Qin Zhao watched Princess Yongning go away, and it took a while before she came back to her senses. She wrote a letter and ordered it to be delivered to Xiao Yu so that Xiao Yu could prepare.
