Not only Qin Zhao noticed Xiao Ce's gaffe, but Xiao Ce himself also felt something strange.
This was the first time he had lost control since he recovered the memory of his previous life. He thought he could control it, but facing Qin Zhao, his self-control was really not up to par.
"The emperor's heartbeat is so fast." Qin Zhao joked, got out of Xiao Ce's arms, and walked away quickly.
Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao's back and closed his eyes slightly, trying to calm down.
Just seeing her walking further and further away, he still followed her, not too far or too close.
Mingyuan not only planted a large peach grove, but also planted a variety of other flowers and plants. It was spring, and the flowers were in full bloom and the fragrance of flowers was overflowing.
After finishing visiting the garden, Qin Zhao went to rest in the Bajiao Pavilion.
Desserts and fruits had been prepared in the pavilion. Qin Zhao was eating and admiring the flowers. He looked at Xiao Ce next to him from the corner of his eye. He always felt that this situation was like a dream.
A person like Xiao Ce actually prepared a bright garden for her. He meant that only she could enter this garden, and no other concubines were allowed.
Doesn't this mean it belongs to her?
After spending so much effort to show it to only her, Xiao Ce would actually do such a childish thing.
Xiao Ce was not good at finding topics, and Qin Zhao was immersed in his own thoughts. For a while, the scene was quiet, with only the slightest movement of the wind.
Qin Zhao was in a daze for a while before he remembered that there was a living person like Xiao Ce beside him.
Qin Zhao got up and wanted to go home. Suddenly she remembered that she hadn't seen Zhang Jixiang for a long time, so she asked casually: "Is Jixiang sick recently?"
Xiao Ce was speechless for a moment.
The reason why Zhang Jixiang was not used was because Zhang Jixiang was disrespectful to Qin Zhao in his previous life. In fact, he also knew that this was just to express his anger. He was the person who was obviously the worst to Qin Zhao.
"Or did Jixiang make a mistake? If it is the latter, the emperor should not argue with him. Although Jixiang has many shortcomings, he has one of the greatest advantages, that is, he is loyal to the emperor, and he has always been by the emperor's side. He understands
The emperor's preferences." Qin Zhaolala said a lot.
"Yeah." Xiao Ce knew that Qin Zhao's words made sense.
He suddenly regretted and remembered what happened in his previous life. In his previous life, he had never treated her well and always made her cry. Later, he left their orphans and widowed mother behind and left that life alone.
After his death, if Xiao Yi came to power, he would not easily let Qin Zhao go, right? After all, A Yuan was still young at that time, and even if he succeeded, it would be difficult to control the government.
Qin Zhao took the lead to walk out of the Bajiao Pavilion. There was no movement behind her. She turned back in confusion, but she was faced with Xiao Ce's gloomy face.
His aura is so powerful that it makes people breathless when he doesn't speak. His gloomy face at this moment makes people dare not look directly at him.
Did she say something wrong just now?
When Xiao Ce received Qin Zhao's gaze, the anger in his eyes immediately dissipated without a trace.
"You don't need to worry about auspicious things. I have my own sense of proportion." Xiao Ce and Qin Zhao walked side by side. The next moment, he held her soft little hand and rubbed it in her palm.
Qin Zhao felt a little itchy and wanted to pull it out, but he held it tighter.
That night, Xiao Ce stayed at Jinyang Palace.
Qin Zhao had a little hope at first, thinking that Xiao Ce would favor her, but later she found out that she was overthinking it, and Xiao Ce didn't seem to be interested in her body.
Little did she know that after she fell asleep, Xiao Ce opened his eyes and looked at her intently for a while.
From her face, to her collarbone, and all the way down...
Xiao Ce disappeared for two days and came to Jinyang Palace again in the evening.
Qin Zhao looked at Xiao Ce immediately and found that he was well-dressed, from his clothes to his hair. He looked like a flower on the high mountain, noble but hard to touch.
Her eyes paused on Xiao Ce's Adam's apple for a moment, and she suddenly missed Xiao Ce's dragon body.
Alert that she was thinking of something she shouldn't have thought of, the tips of Qin Zhao's ears turned red. She asked Bao Zhu to serve the dishes and prepare for dinner.
During dinner time, Xiao Ce used his good habit of being silent while eating and sleeping without saying a word. He occasionally brought food to Qin Zhao, but with lessons learned from the past, he did not continue to give Qin Zhao food like last time.
Food.
But Qin Zhao noticed that whenever she looked at any dish more than once, Xiao Ce would bring it to her the next moment.
He didn't eat much himself, and he paid attention to her preferences the whole time. She didn't know whether she should be more happy or sour.
"Last time, the imperial doctor told you to eat more foods that are easy to digest and eat less meat." Xiao Ce said sincerely.
"Actually, it was an accident. My concubine's stomach is quite good." Qin Zhao felt that he should explain it.
Her stomach was not weak at all. That time it was because in such an atmosphere, he kept bringing food to her and she kept eating. That time she really felt like vomiting.
"Then you have to be restrained." Xiao Ce felt that his tone was too harsh, so he deliberately slowed down his tone.
However, Qin Zhao felt that Xiao Ce's expression was a bit strange. He was obviously very stern, but he pretended to be relaxed, which seemed very inconsistent with his cold temperament.
After dinner, Xiao Ce took Qin Zhao out of Jinyang Palace.
"Where is the emperor going?" Qin Zhao was puzzled.
Xiao Ce, I guess, has a very simple life, which is what people often call two points and one line. Since he entered Jinyang Palace, he would usually stay in Jinyang Palace, or go back to Yangxin Palace.
But this time the route is obviously not to Yangxin Palace.
"We'll be there soon." Xiao Ce didn't say clearly.
Qin Zhao didn't ask any more questions and followed Xiao Ce for about three quarters of an hour, exhausting her to death.
"Actually... we can take the chariot." Qin Zhao felt that he should make a good suggestion.
Why bother walking so far? She was exhausted.
"I remember you said that you would like to go out for walks with me often to eat."
Xiao Ce's words made Qin Zhao stunned: "Have I ever said that?"
She soon figured out that this might be something she had said in her previous life, or it could be an occasional complaint or complaint.
After all, Xiao Ce was a workaholic in his previous life. In addition to government affairs, it was difficult for her to see him. The number of times he entered the harem was also very rare.
Moreover, he was not a lusty person, and she had few blessings...
No, no, I got distracted.
She later realized that Xiao Ce had stopped and looked at her seriously, as if he wanted to say something to her.
"Zhaozhao, I remember everything you said." After a long time, Xiao Ce said.
However, she might have forgotten, after all, it was a lifetime ago. To him, it seemed like it happened yesterday.
Qin Zhao opened her mouth and wanted to say that since it happened in the past life, there was no need to mention it again. After all, it was just the past, and she was already looking forward and moving forward.
However, Xiao Ce was so serious and serious that she couldn't tell some truths.
Neither of them spoke again after that, and Qin Zhao didn't feel tired until they stood in front of a brightly lit tower.
