Baozhu was a little worried when he saw this scene, and whispered to Qin Zhao: "If the emperor knew that the empress had sold the emperor, would Long Yan be furious?"
"I can't help it. They all work passively and have no desire to win the game. If I don't give them some sweetness, they won't try their best. Your Majesty should be able to understand my painstaking efforts." Qin Zhao also said this.
The nature of self-soothing.
She knew that Xiao Ce was stingy and a bit harsh on certain things, but she also wanted to find out, so she knew what was going on.
You have to give these women a little sweetness so that you can know their true nature.
There were not many people participating in the competition, but as soon as Qin Zhao threw out the bait, the scene immediately became lively.
Zuo Zhaorong shook his head and laughed when he saw this scene, but did not get involved.
Qin Zhao saw this and asked: "Don't you, Sister Zuo, go to the competition?!"
"I'm not good at riding and shooting, let alone polo, and I'm not very good at throwing pots, so I won't join in the fun." Zuo Zhaorong smiled: "It's my sister who has a way to arouse everyone's desire to win."
To the sisters in the harem, Xiao Ce was like a piece of meat dipped in honey, and everyone wanted to take a bite.
"It's not necessarily about winning, it's about participating. Does my sister really not want to participate?" Qin Zhao asked.
Zuo Zhaorong found a chair and sat down, taking some time to relax and said: "I am very satisfied just looking at my body. All the sisters were bored before, but today we have such an opportunity, it is quite lively."
Qin Zhao felt the same way.
It seems that the same method can be used in the future to enliven a lifeless harem, but this kind of thing is thankless and has to sacrifice Xiao Ce's beauty, which she is not happy with.
What Qin Zhao didn't expect was that Li Yunu played polo very well. He looked like a master at first glance, at least much better than a beginner like himself.
He Zhaoyi was very good at riding and shooting, and in the end he defeated everyone. It was just because he was stimulated by having a meal with Xiao Ce that he worked hard.
As for Wu Baolin, he was very good at throwing pots. In the end, Wu Baolin won the pot throwing championship.
Wu Xirou was good at everything, but she didn't win the championship in any of them, she was always in second place.
Finally, Qin Zhao was happy and asked Wu Xirou to join him for lunch.
The harem concubine sports meeting ended successfully, Qin Zhao probably knew it well.
The first thing Qin Zhao did when he came out of the imperial garden was to ask Xiao Linzi to invite Xiao Ce to Kunning Palace for lunch.
At this time, Xiao Ce didn't know what happened. He just thought that Qin Zhao missed him, so he happily went to Kunning Palace.
Kunning Palace had already prepared lunch. When Xiao Ce entered, several concubines appeared one after another to pay their respects to Xiao Ce.
It has been a while since Xiao Ce saw so many concubines at one time.
A hint of impatience flashed in his eyes, and he subconsciously looked at Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao quickly explained: "Today there was a movement in the imperial garden. All the sisters contributed, so I asked a few sisters to come over for lunch. I also invited the emperor over."
She avoided the important and took the easy, Xiao Ce should believe that she sold him unintentionally, right?
Xiao Ce was unhappy in his heart, but he would not offend her in front of everyone.
He was the first to take a seat. Qin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and called for others to take a seat as well.
"Is the emperor very busy this morning?" Qin Zhao had nothing to say, so he helped Xiao Ce prepare food.
Xiao Ce looked very serious when facing so many "outsiders", but when faced with Qin Zhao's question, he still responded warmly: "It's okay."
He replied and subconsciously gave Qin Zhao food.
Several people present had different expressions when they saw this scene.
It's okay for Li Yunv, because she has already looked away. She is the most wantless person on the scene. She just wants to hang out in the harem and live in peace until she grows old.
As for Xiao Ce's piece of Tang Monk meat, she couldn't reach it anyway, so she didn't think much about it.
But He Zhaoyi is different.
On the surface, she seems to be living quietly and not caring about worldly affairs, but she has never forgotten her desire to be favored by the emperor. It’s just that she can’t lose face and doesn’t want to ruin her indifferent persona, so she has never been active.
Be proactive.
Today she had the opportunity to have lunch with Xiao Ce, so she naturally wanted to attract Xiao Ce's attention.
Unexpectedly, after Xiao Ce arrived, he never looked at her and focused all his attention on Qin Zhao.
She couldn't even remember how long it had been since she had seen Xiao Ce, but when she finally had a chance to meet face to face, Xiao Ce treated her like air. How could she bear it?
She didn't care much, so she picked up a dish and put it in Xiao Ce's bowl.
Xiao Ce's expression changed in an instant, and he glanced at him with a knife eye. He Zhaoyi's face suddenly changed in fright, and the food on the chopsticks was not secure, so it fell on the table.
For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene was frighteningly stiff.
Disobedience before the emperor could be a minor crime or a major crime, depending on the attitude of the emperor Xiao Ce.
Although He Zhaoyi hates Qin Zhao, she also knows that she is not a special person. She is nothing in Xiao Ce's eyes.
If Xiao Ce really cares, she might not even survive.
She made a prompt decision and knelt down to apologize: "I have behaved inappropriately in front of the Emperor. Please forgive me."
Xiao Ce didn't say anything, so she could only continue to kneel, and the others didn't dare to say anything. At this time, the atmosphere became even more suffocating, and no one dared to vent their anger.
Of course there are exceptions, and that is Wu Xirou.
Wu Xirou liked the opportunity to see Xiao Ce this time, but she did not dare to approach Xiao Ce again, just taking one more look.
She loved watching He Zhaoyi's excitement, but she had no desire to get involved.
She had seen the coldest side of Xiao Ce, and she knew that this man had no heart. No, this man had a heart, but that was when facing Qin Zhao.
He is only gentle to Qin Zhao, only considerate to Qin Zhao, only loves Qin Zhao, and only favors Qin Zhao.
Women other than Qin Zhao are not bullshit!
He Zhaoyi's fault was not in trying to cling to Xiao Ce, let alone trying to be courteous to Xiao Ce.
Others didn't see it. The first time she saw Xiao Ce, she understood that the reason why Xiao Ce didn't have an attack when he saw them was because of Qin Zhao's face.
In this situation, it seems that only Qin Zhao can break the deadlock.
Qin Zhao didn't like He Zhaoyi, but there were other people there, so he had to smooth things over and said: "The emperor likes this dish, let's try it?"
Xiao Ce glanced at her, lowered his head and took a bite.
"Is it delicious?" Qin Zhao asked softly.
Xiao Ce nodded slightly: "Yeah."
"I'm still eating. Sister He is still kneeling. What does the emperor think?" Qin Zhaoruan murmured.
Xiao Ce took a deep look at Qin Zhao and did not look at He Zhaoyi. He just said quietly: "He, get up."
He Zhaoyi clenched his fists and stood up.
On the surface, Qin Zhao seemed to be exonerating her, but in fact he was slapping her in the face. She didn't need Qin Zhao's fake mercy to make herself look like a pathetic person.
With He Zhaoyi's drama, no one dared to approach Xiao Ce anymore. Of course, He Zhaoyi was the only one who was ambitious, while Li Yunv, Wu Baolin and Wu Xirou were all content.
