"Okay, this case is over." Xiao Ce was silent for a moment and gave an order.
Zhang Jixiang looked at Xiao Ce quietly, wondering if his master had reached a conclusion in his mind?
After taking the imperial concubine back to the palace, the emperor did not go to Jinyang Palace for several days. He thought it was because there were many doubts about the imperial concubine being kidnapped.
About a quarter of an hour later, Xiao Ce suddenly said: "It is my negligence that I have not cared about King An in these years. King An is already in his twenties and he has not yet married. This is my fault."
Zhang Jixiang's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he immediately understood that the emperor was going to grant a marriage to Prince An.
It's just that the emperor doesn't know much about the noble ladies of Kyoto, so the concubine will probably be the one to draft the list for this matter.
Afterwards, Xiao Ce indeed handed over the matter to Zhang Jixiang and asked him to make a trip to Jinyang Palace.
Zhang Jixiang did not dare to neglect, and immediately went to Jinyang Palace and relayed Xiao Ce's meaning.
"Okay, I will prepare the list quickly and let the emperor see it at that time." Qin Zhao replied after listening.
Xiao Ce may not even remember which concubines he has in his harem, let alone know which noble girls there are in Kyoto. In addition, Empress Dowager Guo does not pay attention to secular affairs, so it is reasonable for Xiao Ce to leave this matter to her.
Xiao Ce asked Zhang Jixiang to make this trip this time, and of course he was not testing her.
After Zhang Jixiang left, Qin Zhao began to draw up a list of candidates for Princess An.
With the noble status of King An, he should be matched with a noble man with rich background, but Qin Zhao had his own ideas.
Since Xiao Yi is ambitious, he must not let Xiao Yi marry another family with potential for development. But King An likes beauties, which can satisfy Xiao Yi.
Qin Zhao has a very good memory. Although she has never participated in the gatherings among the upper-class nobles outside the palace, she has an initial impression of the noble ladies from various families.
So this matter is not that difficult.
Qin Zhao also knew that Xiao Ce didn't want to see her very much. At the same time, she didn't want to see Xiao Ce very much either, so she asked Baozhu to submit the list she had drawn up to the Yangxin Hall.
Xiao Ce didn't expect Baozhu to hand over the list, so he asked casually: "Is the imperial concubine very busy?"
Baozhu remembered Qin Zhao's instructions and copied Qin Zhao's original words: "The imperial concubine is accompanying your young highness."
Xiao Ce was silent, looking at the list of candidates in a daze.
Bao Zhu quietly looked at the Holy Lord who was sitting on the dragon chair, but she couldn't tell what the Holy Lord's mood was. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him again.
After Xiao Ce saw the list drawn up by Qin Zhao, he soon discovered Qin Zhao's deep intention in selecting these three candidates.
These three so-called noble girls are all beautiful, but the families behind them are not in the limelight. The previous generation of these three families did not have great officials, and the younger generation are all mediocre people who cannot be successful in the court.
What's going on?
Baozhu was waiting quietly when he heard the Holy Master's deep laughter.
She looked at the Holy One with confusion, her face full of confusion.
Xiao Ce circled a name on the list and made his decision.
After Baozhu got the news, he returned to Jinyang Palace and said: "The emperor has drawn up a list, and he is one of the candidates selected by the empress. Moreover, the emperor looks very happy."
If her estimate is correct, the emperor is very satisfied with the candidate chosen by the empress, which is why the emperor is so happy.
"Just be happy." Qin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.
I just don't know why Xiao Ce is happy. Is it because she wins his heart?
Seeing that there was no smile on Qin Zhao's face, Bao Zhu hesitated and said, "I think the emperor will come to see the empress soon."
The empress told her about the robbery and that the emperor was still investigating the matter.
Before the results of the investigation come out, the emperor will definitely have some knots in his heart.
In fact, she felt that the empress herself also had knots in her heart.
If it is true, as the empress said, that Prince An was scorned by the empress while she was sleeping, no matter how generous a man is, he would care about it, not to mention that the emperor still cares about the empress so much?
The empress’s mood is easy to understand. She probably feels sorry for the emperor, right?
It's just that she couldn't figure out why a man as beautiful as Prince An would take the concubine's idea into account, causing a rift between the concubine and the emperor.
Qin Zhao smiled and concentrated on playing small games with Xiao Atom.
It was night, and Qin Zhao was trying to fall asleep early, but before he lay down, he heard Xiao Ce's footsteps approaching.
For a moment, she was at a loss and even more panicked. In short, she felt uneasy and didn't know what to do.
Before she could sort out her emotions, Xiao Ce had already entered.
Xiao Ce is wearing a dark blue brocade robe embroidered with gold silk and cloud patterns, and his dark hair is tied with a jade crown. He has a tall figure, broad shoulders and long legs, a straight nose and slender eyebrows. His eyes are like lacquer, and every step he takes is like stepping on the ground.
in her heart.
Qin Zhao's heartbeat speeded up unconsciously, but he felt that he seemed more charming after not seeing him for a few days.
While she was nervous, she also felt indescribable panic and confusion.
The only thought I have is that he has always been possessive. Will he feel a grudge if he knows that she is taken advantage of by other men?
What she could understand was that it was like she had an extra thorn in her heart.
It was obviously just a guess, but she felt more and more that Xiao Yi did attack her when she was not interested. She felt uncomfortable in her heart, but she could not find an outlet to vent her anger.
To be honest, she had never felt so uneasy before.
"Your Majesty..." It took Qin Zhao a while to find his voice.
Xiao Ce sat down on the edge of the bed and stroked her cloud-like hair, "There's no need to get up, I'm tired too."
Qin Zhao nodded silently. She stepped forward to help Xiao Ce undress. After taking off his robe, she tentatively pressed a kiss on his lips. She was about to deepen the kiss, but Xiao Ce avoided it.
Qin Zhao's heart felt cold for a moment, as if she had been frozen, but she was also panicked. She fell back into the pillow and suddenly lost any strength.
"I haven't taken a bath yet." Xiao Ce's voice seemed to come from the sky.
Qin Zhao didn't answer. She heard the sound of taking off clothes in the clean room, and then the sound of water came from the clean room, but she felt more and more uncomfortable.
Did Xiao Ce avoid her kiss just now because he disliked her?
If this is the case, will she and Xiao Ce have a future?
She was so flustered that she didn't notice the passage of time. When she came to her senses, Xiao Ce had already taken a bath and was lying down next to her.
Qin Zhao was lying on his side, facing inward, motionless.
I don't know how long it took, but the man behind her suddenly moved, and his kiss suddenly fell on her neck.
For a moment, she didn't know what his intentions were, and her body was a little stiff, until he turned her head over, and his kiss came to her face like a spring breeze, trapping her firmly...
Zhang Jixiang and Baozhu, who were waiting outside, heard the noise coming from the inner room and breathed a sigh of relief.
The two masters have been unusual in recent days. They were both afraid that the two would become estranged due to the kidnapping incident. Fortunately, it was not what they thought.
It's just that the situation this night was not like before. In the past, there was a lot of noise, but this time the noise was quiet, and it didn't last too long.
