For a moment, Qin Zhao no longer thought about having dinner. She and Xiao Ce clearly did not quarrel or have any disagreements, but the atmosphere was heavy and depressing. She was not used to such an atmosphere.
Afterwards, Xiao Ce took Xiao Atom to take a bath. She thought about it and decided to do something on the side.
Two couples were waiting for a child to take a bath. The child was also not very talkative, and the family of three did not speak until the bath was finished.
Xiao Atom was a sensible person, so he washed himself clean and followed Baozhu away.
Zhang Jixiang was also very sensible and dismissed the others, leaving only Qin Zhao and Xiao Ce alone in the inner room.
Qin Zhao frowned, thinking about how to break the deadlock.
Xiao Ce had already prepared her bathing arrangements there, including her change of clothes. When facing her, he was always gentle: "Zhaozhao, you wash first."
Qin Zhao entered the clean room and was about to take off his clothes when he found Xiao Ce following him in.
Qin Zhao thought he was going to help her take a bath again. It was enough to do that kind of thing once. She couldn't stand such stimulation.
"I, my concubine, will wash myself while the emperor goes out." Qin Zhao frowned and said, forgetting the unpleasant topic before.
"Well, you wash it." Xiao Ce still stood still in his original position, looking like a crowd that wouldn't leave.
Qin Zhao said angrily: "Do you want my concubine to bring a stool for the emperor?"
So that he could sit and watch her take a bath?
Xiao Ce just touched her head, and sure enough he moved a stool to sit down, which left Qin Zhao speechless.
Later she thought about it, they were husband and wife anyway, so what had she not seen before? There was nothing to be ashamed of even if he was watching her bathing.
He is calm, and she is equally calm.
Out of anger, Qin Zhao secretly rolled her eyes and took off all her clothes, but she still felt uncomfortable and got into the tub.
"I will find someone to build a bath in Kunning Palace tomorrow." When Qin Zhao was taking a bath with his back to Xiao Ce, he suddenly heard Xiao Ce say.
Qin Zhao snorted coldly and was too lazy to pay attention to Xiao Ce.
It was as convenient as taking a bath in a bathtub, so why bother to build a bathtub? This matter was reported to the previous dynasty, and the ministers called her the Demon Queen.
But when Xiao Ce opened his mouth, she didn't bother to persuade him, so as not to offend him.
Qin Zhao was taking a shower with her back to Xiao Ce, and she could still feel his gaze fixed on her back, which made her ears feel a little warm for a moment.
She used to think that she was thick-skinned, but it turns out that when men are thick-skinned, she can't match them.
While she was thinking wildly, Xiao Ce came behind her, "snatched" the handkerchief from her hand and rubbed her back.
She turned back and glared at him: "I, my concubine, can wash it by myself. Can the emperor go out?"
Maybe the light in the clean room was too strong, causing Xiao Ce's eyes to be too hot.
There was a bright lust in his eyes, no concealment, even though his expression was so calm.
Qin Zhao's face was flushed, and he watched Xiao Ce slowly take off his clothes. His movements looked so graceful, like a leopard attacking its prey at any time.
Qin Zhao couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva and watched as he approached him: "Zhao Zhao and I wash together..."
I don't know how long it took, but Qin Zhao was carried to bed in a daze.
She heard Xiao Ce's low and hoarse voice ringing in her ears: "No matter what happened in the past, you can only stay by my side from now on. You must not think about leaving the palace again in the future."
Only then did Qin Zhao suddenly realize.
No wonder Xiao Ce suddenly seduced her with his beauty. It turned out that he still cared about the fact that she didn't want to be his woman.
"You are mine, huh?" Xiao Ce's voice rang in her ears.
Qin Zhao nodded in his arms, let it be whatever he said.
He was so petty, and he didn't know how long he would care about this matter in the future. Or he might have been caring about it for a long time, but he remained calm and she never noticed it.
"Why don't you speak?" Xiao Ce lifted Qin Zhao's chin.
Qin Zhaozheng was sleepy to death, "Whatever the emperor says is whatever it is. I have no objection to it."
Let her have a good sleep, she is almost exhausted.
"Look at me." Xiao Ce's breath approached.
Qin Zhao opened his sleepy eyes and met his eyes as dark as ink.
"You are not allowed to have any thoughts of leaving me in the future, okay?" Xiao Ce bit Qin Zhao's lips hard.
Qin Zhao gasped in pain, and his sleepiness suddenly disappeared.
Seeing that he still wanted to bite, she hurriedly responded: "Yeah, yeah, I won't leave until I leave. Your Majesty, let's go to bed early?"
Stop threatening her with force.
She never thought about leaving him. Even though it was all in the past, he still harbored a grudge against her. She was absolutely right to say that he was stingy.
Xiao Ce looked at her steadily, as if he didn't believe her promise: "What you said doesn't sound sincere."
Xiao Ce didn't say anything, just stared at her, making her feel guilty.
Qin Zhao thought for a while and solemnly pressed a kiss on his forehead: "Xiao Ce, we will be together forever."
She didn't deny that she didn't want to have a close relationship with him before, and she even wanted to escape from him more than once, but now she fell in love with him again and wanted to be with him forever. This was also true.
Xiao Ce cares about the past because he cares too much about her. She can understand his mood.
Just like she sometimes feels insecure, even though he is as noble as an emperor, he is afraid of things that are beyond his control.
There was never a moment when she felt that she could capture Xiao Ce's unknown emotions.
"Well, we want to be together forever." Xiao Ce hugged Qin Zhao tightly.
At this moment when I hugged her tightly, my restless heart finally calmed down.
Qin Zhao comforted Xiao Ce and fell asleep quickly. Xiao Ce, on the other hand, couldn't bear to close his eyes. He looked at Qin Zhao's sleeping face from time to time and felt full in his heart.
When Qin Zhao got up the next day, he heard the noise in Kunning Palace.
Qin Zhao didn't know what happened, so he asked Baozhu: "What's going on outside?"
"The emperor has issued an order to build a bathing pool in Kunning Palace." Baozhu said excitedly.
Qin Zhao was speechless for a moment. Xiao Ce mentioned this matter last night, but she forgot about it after she fell asleep.
"Do you think this is okay?" Qin Zhao was a little troubled.
She felt that Xiao Ce's troubles for her like this would damage Xiao Ce's reputation as Mingjun. I'm afraid that everyone felt more and more that Xiao Ce was building a lot of things for a woman like her and was no longer as wise as before.
"What's wrong? You are the empress, the mother of Da Qi, and the emperor dotes on your empress. What can others say?" Bao Zhu felt that this was nothing.
Even the Mingyuan Garden has been built, let alone a mere bathhouse?
Of course there is a bathhouse in the palace, but it is a bit far from Kunning Palace, so it would be troublesome for the empress to go there.
The emperor wanted to build a bathhouse nearby for his empress, just so that her empress could enjoy the pleasure of bathing at any time.
The emperor did this because he cared about the queen and was considerate of everything for her.
