"So what if you are married? You are my woman after all. I have been busy with this matter recently, but I still feel that this matter is not like establishing a crown prince. As the person involved, you have the right to know, and I must respect yours.
Meaning: Zhaozhao, I want to marry you and become my queen." Xiao Ce said every word.
Qin Zhao thought she was a eloquent person, but at this moment, she didn't know how to answer the question.
She had never thought about becoming his queen in her life. At most, she just wanted to prevent him from becoming a queen.
"If you accept this bouquet of flowers, it means you agree to me." Seeing that Qin Zhao was still silent, Xiao Ce simply closed the coffin and concluded.
Qin Zhao thought to himself that no one could refuse to become Xiao Ce's queen, right?
She always thought that the reason why he didn't come to see her much recently was because he died early in his previous life and he wanted to remove all possible hidden dangers. New
She never thought that it turned out that he was busy with the matter of establishing a queen.
With her background, there is no one in the Qin family, she has been married before, and she is a demon concubine criticized by everyone, so she is indeed not a suitable candidate for the queen.
He had met so many ministers frequently recently, presumably to make her his queen, but no news of it came out, and Zhang Jixiang didn't say anything to her.
"It doesn't matter if you don't agree. I already have an idea. You will be my queen for the rest of my life!" Seeing that Qin Zhao didn't speak, Xiao Ce couldn't figure out Qin Zhao's idea for a while, so he thought to himself and said.
Qin Zhao curled his lips and whispered: "I never thought about becoming a queen..."
In fact, she never thought about it in her previous life. What she thought about most was his love.
She didn't want to think about it anymore in this life. She always felt that she was a noble concubine in her previous life, and that being a noble concubine in this life was over.
"Then start thinking about it from now on." Xiao Ce was silent for a moment and then added: "You are not allowed to refuse."
Qin Zhao laughed when he heard this: "What if I refuse?"
Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao's smile and said after a while: "I will immediately issue an imperial edict to establish a queen."
He didn't give her a chance to refuse.
Qin Zhao took out the bouquet of peach blossoms in his hand: "Is this bouquet just for show?"
"No, at least I asked for your opinion in advance, and I proposed to you in a serious manner." Xiao Ce was in a good mood, and the corners of his lips raised.
Qin Zhao looked at Xiao Ce in surprise, feeling that this man was not as rigid as she thought.
Interestingly, in her previous life, she accidentally mentioned that flowers should be used in modern marriage proposals, but he actually listened and remembered it in his heart.
"If I don't agree to be your queen, then I don't know what to do. Come on, then I will avoid the difficulty and become the queen of Daqi." Qin Zhao smiled brilliantly, and his smile was even brighter than the blooming peach blossom forest.
Dazzling.
The tense feeling in Xiao Ce's heart completely relaxed.
He had never noticed that he was so nervous before. This was an unprecedented and unfamiliar emotion.
"Be good." Xiao Ce touched Qin Zhao's head.
Qin Zhao glared at him, always feeling that his tone of voice sounded like coaxing a puppy.
Finally, Qin Zhao left the Ming Garden holding a bouquet of peach blossoms and brought the flowers into Jinyang Palace.
She was so happy that she called Baozhu over and told Baozhu about Xiao Ce's proposal.
Baozhu was shocked after hearing this: "Really?"
Is your master going to be the queen?
Although she had thought that one day her master would become the queen of a country, when that day actually came, she still had a hard time believing it.
Qin Zhaozheng took a vase to arrange flowers, with a faint smile on his lips: "This is what the emperor has been busy with lately."
Although Xiao Ce didn't say it, she also knew that Xiao Ce was eager to settle the matter first because he left in a hurry in his previous life.
It’s just that I want to make up for the regrets from my previous life in the limited time.
"My servant knows that the emperor has not changed. On the surface, the emperor seems more deserted than before, but in fact he dotes on the empress even more than before!" Baozhu said happily.
Qin Zhao thought of that night a few days ago and felt that Baozhu's words made sense.
That night Xiao
Ce was like a wolf and a tiger, and almost tortured her to death. The next morning, she thought it was just her illusion, but now that she thinks about it, it is completely true.
Xiao Ce is just a sultry person. On the surface, he looks calm and calm, but in fact, he is as passionate as fire inside.
Qin Zhao stared at the peach blossoms in the vase, all he thought about was Xiao Ce.
After lunch, Xiao Linzi came to report to her the results of the investigation into Concubine Hu's family.
"Currently, it has been found that Concubine Hu has a distant relative who took in a group of orphans, both boys and girls, ten years ago. However, the whereabouts of these orphans were unknown later. If nothing unexpected happened, this group of people were all sent to the palace.
..." Xiao Linzi made a long story short.
Qin Zhao snorted coldly: "A group of orphans?"
"Exactly, they took in many orphans. If these people entered the palace, they would become palace servants or chamberlains." Xiao Linzi expressed his guess.
Qin Zhao shook his head: "That's not necessarily the case."
Some of them may have been adopted by wealthy families and later sent to the palace as concubines.
"Xiao Linzi, you continue to check the list of these orphans. In addition, I will check Xu Cairen carefully, especially if Xu Cairen is related to the Hu family. Don't let go of any small connection."
After pondering for a moment, Qin Zhao gave the order.
Xiao Linzi immediately understood what his master meant.
The empress suspected that Xu Cairen might also be someone sent to the palace by the Hu family. If it was true as the empress expected, Xu Cairen might be an important chess piece placed by King An in the palace.
"Yes, I will do it now," Xiao Linzi replied.
Xiao Linzi and Qin Zhao finished discussing the business and came out. Bao Lan was waiting outside. Seeing him coming out, she smiled at him: "Xiao Linzi, are you going out again?"
"I have to go out for something." Xiao Linzi responded and walked away quickly.
Baolan looked at Xiao Linzi's hurried back and deeply understood the gap between herself, Baozhu and Xiao Linzi.
She was not trusted by the imperial concubine, but the imperial concubine still kept her.
Many people think that she has a similar temperament to Baozhu. They are equally calm and capable, but the person the imperial concubine will always trust will only be Baozhu.
She became a marginalized person.
She will never have a way out in this Jinyang Palace, and the imperial concubine will never believe her, and she knows it.
On the other side, Prince An's Mansion.
Concubine Hu received the news and reported to Xiao Yi about Qin Zhao's investigation of the Hu family.
Xiao Yi laughed deeply after hearing this, as if he was pleased.
Concubine Hu frowned when she saw this: "Your Majesty, can you still laugh?"
If this continues, all the chess pieces arranged in the palace will be pulled out by Qin Zhao one by one. How much effort did she put into those people to have a stable position in the harem? Now that Qin Zhao noticed it, Xiao Yi was still smiling?
"Don't you think Qin Zhao is very smart?" Xiao Yi said proudly.
