Qin Zhao speeded up her bathing, and when Xiao Ce came over, she was getting dressed.
Xiao Ce is not a reserved person now. She was busy getting dressed when the man opened the curtain and walked in. She was so frightened that she hurriedly pulled on her clothes.
Her busy and embarrassed look pleased Xiao Ce. He didn't show it on his face, but the fleeting smile in his eyes couldn't deceive anyone: "What can't be blocked? Is there anything on you that I haven't seen before?"
Qin Zhao thought the same thing, her child was already so old, so there was no practical significance in blocking her now.
She simply gave up the treatment and opened her arms towards Xiao Ce: "I usually serve the emperor to change my clothes. Isn't the emperor here to help me change my clothes now?"
Xiao Ce thought this was a good job, but he didn't refuse it.
The others had the insight to retreat one by one, leaving only two people in the clean room.
Xiao Ce usually takes off his clothes quickly, but it was the first time in his life that he helped Qin Zhao get dressed.
At this moment, Qin Zhao was only wearing a green dress. Because he was so close, he could still smell the fresh soap fragrance from her body, and maybe another body fragrance from her body, which made him feel a little hot, and the tip of his nose
I also broke out in sweat.
In addition to her fair skin, the green color made her skin look so white that it dazzled him.
He helped her dress clumsily. For the first time, he felt that this was not only a good job, but also a test of his self-control.
And he finally completed this arduous task without any danger.
Xiao Ce breathed a sigh of relief, and Qin Zhao also breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Seeing that Xiao Ce was still holding her wrist, Qin Zhao said with a smile: "It is truly an honor for me to have the emperor help me change my clothes."
So can you let go of her hand?
As a result, Xiao Ce held her slender wrist instead and replied to her: "This is also my honor."
The corners of Qin Zhao's lips rose unconsciously, "I thought the emperor wouldn't come tonight."
"Why do you have this conjecture?" Xiao Ce asked back.
Although he can see her but cannot touch her, being by her side can make him feel happy.
"The emperor didn't come so late, I thought the emperor didn't come." Of course Qin Zhao couldn't say what was in his heart.
She thought he only liked her body, but now it seems that she was overthinking it.
"I'm busy today, so I'm a little late." Xiao Ce pulled Qin Zhao to sit down.
Bao Zhu stood outside and took a curious look. He saw the emperor and the imperial concubine meeting each other and talking quietly. The scene was very warm.
Just talking and talking, the two kissed each other again...
She quickly looked away, feeling that the relationship between the two masters was getting better and better.
The day of Shangyuan Festival is the Wanshou Festival.
The palace became lively early in the morning, even more lively than during the Chinese New Year.
Qin Zhao had been busy early in the morning. After all, it was such a big day as the Longevity Festival and the Lantern Festival, so she, the person in charge of the harem, naturally did not dare to neglect it.
Compared with Qin Zhao's busy schedule, Wu Xirou was much more leisurely.
She and Queen Mother Guo reached an agreement, hoping to give Qin Zhao an unforgettable gift on the Lantern Festival.
Her goal is to become the master of the middle palace. If Queen Mother Guo can issue a pre-death edict, and today is a special day, she believes that this edict will be quite weighty.
Time passed while waiting, and until the palace banquet started in the evening, she was still a little absent-minded.
At this time, there is no news about Cihe Palace. Could it be that something went wrong?
She could not sit still and glanced at Qin Zhao, who was sitting side by side with Xiao Ce from time to time.
She thought that when Queen Mother Guo died, Xiao Ce would probably make her his queen because of Queen Mother Guo's deathbed edict.
When she becomes the queen, no matter how favored Qin Zhao is, he will greet her every day and call her sister.
Zuo Zhaorong was sitting next to Wu Xirou. He seemed to sense that Wu Xirou was absent-minded and asked, "Is Sister Wu okay?"
Wu Xirou didn't like Qin Zhao, and Zuo Zhaorong was close to Qin Zhao, so naturally she wouldn't like Zuo Zhaorong.
But she can do it when the occasion arises.
"I'm just a little envious that Sister Qin can stay with the Emperor. These days, the Emperor will go to stay with Sister Qin whenever he has free time. I heard that Sister Qin Yue Xin is coming, and the Emperor also stays with Sister Qin at Jinyang Palace every night.
How much does the emperor like Sister Qin?" Wu Xirou said with envy.
Zuo Zhaorong looked at the young emperor who was talking to Qin Zhao with his head lowered, and said with emotion: "The relationship between the emperor and Sister Qin is indeed good."
"Isn't Sister Zuo jealous of Sister Qin?" Wu Xirou fixed her gaze on Zuo Zhaorong's face, trying to get a clue from Zuo Zhaorong's expression.
Zuo Zhaorong smiled: "Sister may not believe it, but I really am not jealous of Sister Qin."
Wu Xirou looked at Zuo Zhaorong's expression carefully and found that Zuo Zhaorong's expression was as usual, and he did not look like he was jealous of Qin Zhao.
She suddenly lost interest in chatting with Zuo Zhaorong anymore.
Now she is just waiting for the news of Queen Mother Guo's death to come from Cihe Palace, giving Qin Zhao a blow in the head.
However, she waited and waited, but there was no movement in the harem.
Now she couldn't sit still anymore, so she simply left the banquet venue quietly and sent someone to find out what was going on in front of Cihe Palace.
Liuli quickly came back from inquiring about the news. She quickly stepped forward and asked, "How was it?"
"My servant looked at the Cihe Palace and it was very quiet. There seemed to be no movement. By the way, there seemed to be some more guards guarding the Cihe Palace." Liuli replied truthfully.
Wu Xirou paced back and forth: "Is it that the old godly woman is reluctant to die?"
Otherwise, there wouldn't be any movement for such a long time.
She was sure that she had convinced the Queen Mother Guo that time. The Queen Mother Guo also hated Qin Zhao so much. How could the Queen Mother Guo not implement the plan at the last moment?
"Concubine Qin once ordered to meet Nian Yun. Could it be that Nian Yun exposed the empress's plan?" Liuli suddenly mentioned this matter.
Wu Xirou sneered when she heard this: "Impossible! Nian Yun is the Empress Dowager's most trusted attendant, and Nian Su died in the hands of Qin Zhao. Nian Yun and Nian Su were once sisters, how could Nian Yun betray the Empress Dowager?"
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Nianyun to inform Qin Zhao.
Liuli also felt that Wu Xirou's words made sense.
It's just that at this hour, there is still no movement in Cihe Palace, I'm afraid that the empress's plan has been ruined.
In Zhongcui Palace, Wu Xirou's master and servants were sitting uneasily.
The palace banquet ended successfully, and Xiao Ce accompanied Qin Zhao back to Jinyang Palace.
Qin Zhao took out the sachet he had embroidered himself and sent it to Xiao Ce: "Your Majesty, let's see if you like it?"
Xiao Ce took the sachet and saw that the stitching on it was rough and the threads were obvious. He thought that his beloved concubine's embroidery skills were really not good enough.
But seeing Qin Zhao looking at him expectantly, he didn't want to attack her, so he asked casually: "Are these two ducks embroidered?"
It looks like a duck or a chicken, like a malnourished chicken or duck.
Qin Zhao's expectant expression darkened instantly: "Your Majesty, will you take a closer look?"
Xiao Ce looked at it carefully again and asked hesitantly: "Is it a pigeon?!"
