Speaking of which, Qin Zhao didn't have much confidence.
Of course, Xiao Ce in his previous life valued the fate of Qi. In his heart, nothing was more important than Daqi. How could she, a mere woman, be worthy of the emperor's hegemony?
She knew she was incompetent, so she looked away.
If Xiao Ce really becomes a queen one day, she has no right to resent Xiao Ce. All she can do is take care of herself, live in hiding in Jinyang Palace, and try not to see Xiao Ce.
In the past, when she had no feelings for Xiao Ce, she didn't care how many people he had in his harem, but now, she could no longer just watch him add people to his harem one by one without being indifferent.
To put it another way, love is both honey and arsenic.
"Don't worry, I know what I want and what I want." Qin Zhao comforted Baozhu.
She would never have risked her life for a man. After all, she still had children. Even without Xiao Ce's favor, she could still live a good life.
Seeing what Qin Zhao said, Baozhu no longer hesitated.
The emperor had not come these days, but there were constant rumors in the harem. She felt that the empress had lost her favor.
But as long as the empress knows what she is thinking, nothing will be a problem.
After another two days of calm, Huang Xianmeng got up and heard someone in the Shoukang Palace whispering. The general idea was that she was going to be the queen, and when she became the queen, Qin Zhao would have a powerful enemy.
Judging from the way these two palace ladies chatted unscrupulously, such rumors must have spread in the harem.
If she were Qin Zhao, she would feel uncomfortable hearing these rumors, right?
She didn't mean to embarrass Qin Zhao, but Qin Zhao was troubled by rumors because of her. This was not a result she wanted to see.
She thought about it and decided to go to Jinyang Palace to meet Qin Zhao.
Huang Xianmeng has always been an action person. Today's work is done today, and it will be the same this time. She prepared some gifts and went to Jinyang Palace.
She got up early and didn't know Qin Zhao's daily routine. When she went to visit Qin Zhao in the main hall of Jinyang Palace, Qin Zhao was still sleeping.
Naturally, the people serving in the main hall would not make an exception because of Huang Xianmeng. Everyone had a tacit understanding and did not wake up Qin Zhao, but asked Huang Xianmeng to wait in the hall.
Huang Xianmeng heard Baolan say that Qin Zhao hadn't woken up yet, so she waited in the palace with peace of mind.
It took an hour for Qin Zhao Shi Shi Ran to come out of the inner hall.
Qin Zhao came out after washing up. He hadn't eaten breakfast yet. Because he had slept well, his face had no makeup, but it showed a healthy blush, as if he had applied the finest rouge, making him beautiful.
Huang Xianmeng couldn't help but look at Qin Zhao a few more times. The more she looked at him, the more she felt that Qin Zhao was as beautiful as a fairy moth. No wonder he was the only one favored by Xiao Ce.
She stepped forward to greet her, and Qin Zhao waved his hand, "Miss Huang, there is no need to be polite."
Huang Xianmeng was polite for a while before leading to the main topic: "Today, the people's daughter heard the rumors in the harem. She was afraid that the imperial concubine would misunderstand her, so she came to visit the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine is the person that the emperor's cousin cares about, and the people's daughter is interested in the imperial concubine.
The imperial concubine has no ill intentions..."
Qin Zhao seemed to listen slowly and indifferently, and when Huang Xianmeng finished speaking, she didn't answer.
For a moment, Huang Xianmeng didn't know what Qin Zhao was feeling.
Seeing the sudden silence, Huang Xianmeng suddenly felt a little embarrassed no matter how talkative he was.
"To be honest, when the daughter of the people met the emperor's cousin in her early years, she fell in love with him at first sight. They have not forgotten each other for so many years. Now that she has the opportunity to get close to the emperor's cousin, the daughter of the people is really unwilling to miss this good opportunity.
.In this life, it is very difficult to meet someone you really like. Missing the emperor's cousin should be the biggest regret of the people's daughter's life, so the people's daughter wants to try her best to fight for it." Huang Xianmeng rambled on again.
Tell the truth.
Qin Zhao listened and smiled.
She felt that Huang Xianmeng was really a pretty good woman, if Huang Xianmeng hadn't competed with her for the same man.
If Xiao Ce really wants to establish a queen, it seems best to establish someone like Huang Xianmeng.
It's a pity that her mind is too narrow-minded. She can't watch Xiao Ce get married, and like a resentful woman, she will one day become completely different in the future.
Huang Xian dreamed that Qin Zhaoguang was smiling and silent, and he couldn't figure out Qin Zhao's thoughts for a while.
"It is really abrupt for a common girl to come to pay homage to the imperial concubine. I hope the imperial concubine will not be surprised." Huang Xianmeng said, suddenly feeling that she was a little rash.
Although she has no ill intentions, outsiders may not think so. She may cause trouble for Qin Zhao and trigger speculation among the concubines in the harem.
Qin Zhao shook his head: "It's okay. I never care about rumors. But I believe that relationships are always a matter of two people. If there is a third person, it will be too crowded. Miss Huang is still young and cannot see through the relationship.
In fact, things are not that complicated, but I am someone who has experienced it and I have a deep understanding of it."
She said to Baozhu: "Go and see Miss Huang off."
Baozhu responded softly.
Huang Xianmeng was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said: "The daughter of the people, please leave."
She walked a few steps and then looked back at Qin Zhao, meeting the gentle brows and eyes of the current noble concubine.
There is a kind of person in this world who is just sitting there and shining, making it difficult for people to ignore her.
When she walked out of Jinyang Palace in a daze, she was still thinking about what Qin Zhao had just said.
Qin Zhao said that relationships are only a matter of two people. If there is a third person, it will be too crowded.
Could it be that except Qin Zhao, Xiao Ce never favored any other concubines? It's impossible, right? Xiao Ce was an emperor, and although he favored Qin Zhao, he couldn't favor only Qin Zhao.
There are so many fresh and beautiful beauties in this harem, how could Xiao Ce only touch Qin Zhao?
Although she knew that Xiao Ce was different from others towards Qin Zhao, Huang Xianmeng was still shocked by her guess.
She returned to Shoukang Palace with a lot of worries. Seeing that she was in a state of disbelief, the Empress Dowager asked with concern: "Didn't you say you were going to see Miss Zhao? Why do you look like this?"
Huang Xianmeng asked in a daze: "Auntie, does the emperor's cousin only favor the imperial concubine?"
The Empress Dowager was stunned for a long time before replying: "This..."
She wanted to say that it shouldn't be the case, but she said Cui Jieyu, wasn't she Zeng Chengchong?
"Girl, why do you ask such a strange question?" The Queen Mother's heart became entangled.
She had never thought that maybe Cui Jieyu's favor was just a cover, or maybe Tong Shiguan was also helping A Ce cover up. The only woman A Ce had ever had was Zhao Yatou.
"I, I'm just curious." Huang Xianmeng's face turned slightly pale.
Because Qin Zhao said that love is a matter between two people, but there are obviously so many concubines in this harem. The only explanation is that except Qin Zhao, Xiao Ce has never touched other concubines.
She thought that she was not the extra third person, because there were so many women in the harem. If her guess was right, then wouldn't she be the extra third person?
