Qin Zhao frowned: "Go and ask him to come over. I have something to ask him."
At this time, Xiao Ce looked over and she looked back calmly, "Isn't the Emperor very busy?"
Does that mean we have to go back to the palace?
Xiao Ce slowly took a sip of tea and said elegantly: "There's no rush."
Qin Zhao just wanted to say "haha" back to him.
He was obviously busy like a dog, still pretending to be in front of her.
"Why did the emperor leave the palace?" Qin Zhao was extremely curious.
Xiao Ce's eyelids drooped and he took another sip of tea before answering calmly: "I remembered that I had not been out of the palace for some days, so I wanted to go out for a walk."
"Yes, I just came to my house while walking." Qin Zhao immediately picked up what Xiao Ce had left unfinished.
Xiao Ce didn't even ride in the carriage. He was still wearing a dragon robe. He temporarily took away a group of guards guarding the palace gate and came to her. This was obviously an impromptu move, and his target was the Duke of Qin's palace.
"What's in your family is mine, and our relationship has nothing to do with you or me." Xiao Ce looked indifferent, staring at Qin Zhao with his deep eyes stained by ink.
Qin Zhao was so stared at that his scalp went numb, and he murmured in a low voice: "What the emperor said is that the world belongs to the emperor, and the Duke's palace naturally belongs to the emperor as well. But I would like to ask, when does the emperor plan to return to the palace?"
Xiao Ce didn't look like he was in a hurry to return to the palace.
"Sit a little longer." Xiao Ce waved to Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao didn't know what he wanted to do, so he obediently sat down next to him.
I thought Xiao Ce had something important to say to him, but he just looked at her and didn't speak, which seemed a bit strange.
"If your Majesty has anything to say, just say it." Qin Zhao looked at Xiao Ce encouragingly.
That's right. A busy man like Xiao Ce would not follow her out of the palace for no reason. He must have something to say to himself before he chased her.
"It's nothing, just sit with me for a while." Xiao Ce opened his lips indifferently.
At this time, Zhang Jixiang came back, stood beside Xiao Ce, and whispered: "Your Majesty, Master Commander and Master Zhao are still waiting in the palace to meet the emperor."
The Queen has also met, so is it time for them to return to the palace?
Qin Zhao has very good hearing, so Zhang Jixiang's words naturally fell into her ears.
She looked at Xiao Ce, and Zhang Jixiang also looked at Xiao Ce, waiting for Xiao Ce to make the wise decision to return to the palace.
Xiao Ce looked at Baozhu and said, "Why don't I even bring snacks and fruits when I come?"
Baozhu was stunned and hurriedly responded: "My slave, go and prepare now."
She thought the emperor was about to return to the palace, so she didn't even want to prepare snacks.
Qin Zhao felt that Xiao Ce looked abnormal, "You guys should step aside first. I have something to tell the emperor."
The attendants withdrew one by one, and when there was no third person, Qin Zhaocai said: "If the emperor has anything to say, please tell me directly."
After finishing speaking, he quickly went back to the palace to do business.
Xiao Ce originally had something to say to Qin Zhao, but the moment he saw Qin Zhao, all his uneasiness seemed to subside.
"I just want to sit for a while. You can just accompany me. You don't have to say anything." Xiao Ce held Qin Zhao's hand and looked deeply.
Qin Zhao thought Xiao Ce was a little strange, but he didn't want to say it and there was nothing she could do about it.
"Is the emperor worried about my concubine or being in danger? That's why he came out specifically?" Qin Zhao asked tentatively.
Xiao Ce squeezed her palm: "I just left the palace for a walk."
The implication is to tell her not to be so sentimental.
Qin Zhao suddenly felt very powerless. This man clearly wanted to leave the palace for her, but he was still stubborn and refused to admit it.
"There are still a few adults waiting for the emperor in the palace. It's almost time to go back, right?" Qin Zhao said seriously without exposing Xiao Ce.
"I'll sit down for a while." Xiao Ce gave the same answer again.
Seeing this, Qin Zhao stood up and said, "Then please sit down, Your Majesty. I, my concubine, will go out for a walk."
As a result, she had just left the living room with her front legs, and Xiao Ce followed her with her back legs, not too far or too close.
Qin Zhao let him follow him for a while, then simply slowed down and waited for Xiao Ce to catch up before asking him what he wanted to do.
Unexpectedly, when she stopped, Xiao Ce also stopped.
She could only turn back to him and asked, "Tell me, what do you want?"
It's been more than two-quarters of an hour since he said it, right?
He had a lot of business to be busy with, but he couldn't spend it in her Duke's mansion.
Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao blankly. In fact, he had something to ask her. He wanted to ask her if she remembered the past life from the beginning, and also wanted to ask her if she didn't want to be his woman at the beginning.
If he hadn't chased her out of the palace in the first place, there would have been no intersection between him and her in this life.
These questions were stuck in his throat, but he couldn't ask them out because he roughly guessed the answers.
On the morning when they first met, the moment he opened his eyes, Qin Zhao's eyes were very complicated.
But at that time, he didn't know that she had already experienced a lifetime with him.
At that time, he didn't know anything.
It was clear that she was going to become his queen, but he was still afraid that they would miss her in this life.
"I don't want to do anything, I just don't want to go back to the palace." Xiao Ce finally didn't dare to ask anything.
He felt that he had made a bad idea and should not let her leave the palace and marry from the Duke's palace. If she had stayed in the palace properly, he would not be so worried about gains and losses.
"You can't be so willful." Qin Zhao really couldn't guess what Xiao Ce was thinking.
If he left the palace because of her, Xiao Ce didn't look like it. If he didn't leave the palace because of her, why didn't Xiao Ce want to tell her the reason?
"I'm not willful, I just don't want to go back to the palace. It's not a big deal." Xiao Ce wanted to change the subject: "I will take you around..."
"Xiao Ce, this is my home, and I am the master here!" Qin Zhao reminded helplessly.
She didn't need him to take her around the Duke's mansion at all.
"Then you take me around." Xiao Ce stepped forward and clasped her fingers naturally: "Don't be angry. You said it yourself. Anger will easily cause wrinkles."
Qin Zhao cursed a lot, but in the end he still refused Xiao Ce's company.
After lunch, Qin Zhao thought Xiao Ce would return to the palace, but unexpectedly, he was an old man who said he wanted to take a nap with her.
It was useless for Qin Zhao to refuse this time. Although Xiao Ce always doted on her, there was no room for her to interfere in what he decided.
After chattering for a while, she finally fell asleep in Xiao Ce's arms.
Zhang Jixiang, who was waiting outside, was extremely anxious. He originally thought that the emperor would think of returning to the palace while the imperial concubine was taking a nap. Unexpectedly, there was no movement inside, and he could not rush in to ask what happened.
After waiting, there was no movement inside until late in the evening.
Qin Zhao was confused when he woke up, and became even more confused when he saw Xiao Ce still in front of him: "Why haven't you returned to the palace yet?"
Could it be that Xiao Ce is out of his mind?
Xiao Ce stood up with elegant movements and a calm expression: "I heard that Feng Kou will be delivered today. I want to see how you wear Feng Kou."
