Qin Zhao helplessly raised his forehead: "I said the wrong thing, which made him unhappy. I already know that I was wrong."
When she heard Xiao Ce's footsteps retreating, she knew it was too late to chase him out at this time.
Forget it, she will go to appease this jealous man tomorrow.
There was obviously no adulterer, but he himself was jealous.
Little did she know that Xiao Ce didn't feel sleepy at all after returning to Yangxin Hall.
He originally thought that the twenty attendants would be sent over in a few days, but because he was worried, he sent someone to Kunning Palace to guard him overnight.
It seems like this is the only way to feel at ease.
He was born and grew up in the harem, so he naturally knew the true meaning of the saying "Once you enter the harem, it is as deep as the sea".
The women here are very lonely. They spend their whole lives trying to get a man. Their lives are boring and boring, with no fun at all.
He didn't feel anything when he said these words to other women. But when he applied the same words to Qin Zhao, he was afraid that she would not be able to bear the loneliness or the boring harem life, and would find other men to relieve her boredom.
Even though she knew Qin Zhao was not such a woman, she still worried about something like this happening.
So when he woke up the next morning, Qin Zhao knew that there were twenty more attendants in Kunning Palace.
The twenty attendants, including ten maids, six nuns, and four chamberlains, immediately greeted Qin Zhao and introduced themselves.
Qin Zhao was not interested and waved his hand, indicating that they could retreat to a place where he could not see them.
She knew that these people were sent by Xiao Ce to keep an eye on her to prevent her from cheating.
Before she fell asleep last night, she was still thinking about going to Xiao Ce today to comfort him. After seeing the twenty extra attendants, she felt that there was no need for her to do anything extra.
With so many people monitoring her every move, unless she has wings and can fly, there is a possibility of cheating.
When she was playing with Xiao Atom, she couldn't help but complain: "Son, don't imitate your father in the future. Being too possessive will depress the people around you, you know?"
Little Atom raised his eyelids and glanced at his mother, then agreed, "That's what the queen said."
Qin Zhao looked at the rain curtain outside the window and felt that it was a bit cold today. She added some clothes to her child and couldn't help but worry about Xiao Ce...
As expected, she came to whatever she thought of. She heard the sound of Xiao Ce's footsteps approaching along with the sound of rain, and soon the man arrived in front of her.
Zhang Jixiang followed him and seemed to have brought a lot of things.
She stepped forward and saw that it was an unfinished review.
At this time, Zhang Jixiang took the initiative to answer her questions: "The emperor originally wanted to invite the Queen to the Yangxin Palace. But then when it rained, the Emperor changed his mind and came to Kunning Palace in person to accompany the Queen."
Qin Zhao originally blamed Xiao Ce for guarding her so closely and for not trusting her.
But seeing him struggling like this, there was no resentment in his heart: "Why does the emperor need to do this extra thing? There are many people accompanying the ministers and concubines, and there is no need for the emperor to keep thinking about them all the time."
"I want to spend more time with you." Xiao Ce disagreed.
Others are other people, he is him, how can they be confused.
Qin Zhao felt that the implication of Xiao Ce's words was: to prevent you from cheating.
"Your Majesty, if you don't think it's troublesome, just stay with me." Qin Zhao gave Xiao Ce a fake smile.
"Aren't you happy that I'm accompanying you?" Xiao Ce could tell at a glance that Qin Zhao was not feeling right.
Qin Zhao lightly curled his lips: "I feel sorry for the emperor. I am still thinking about you when you are so busy. I am grateful."
Xiao Ce naturally heard Qin Zhao's sarcasm. Looking at her vivid eyebrows, he laughed dumbly: "You accompany me to the study."
Qin Zhao subconsciously looked at Xiao Atom, who was like a little adult and immediately answered: "My son, please retire."
The next moment, the little prince rolled away.
Qin Zhao was brought into the study by Xiao Ce. The other attendants were dismissed, and Xiao Ce held her on his lap and sat down.
This is really...
She also took a special look at her sitting posture. To be honest, it was really not very elegant.
Although there was no third party in the study, and although they were infinitely intimate, sitting in this position still made her blush.
She moved her legs quietly, wanting to close them and sit on one side. Unexpectedly, Xiao Ce held her legs down as soon as she moved.
She turned back to look at Xiao Ce, and saw that he had a serious look on his face, his eyes fixed on the memorial, and he seemed not to notice her embarrassment.
Are her thoughts too dirty?
She bit her silver teeth lightly and said hoarsely: "I will disturb the emperor if I sit here. How about I find another stool to sit on?"
Anyway, as long as she doesn't sit like this, it's really because she doesn't have enough concentration.
"Just sit tight and don't move." Xiao Ce said, wrapping his hand around her waist and letting her lean against his chest.
This gesture was too intimate, Qin Zhao thought to himself, and it was also boring. She had no interest in the content of his review of the memorial.
The beautiful thing is that he is accompanying her, but it is not as good as her being alone and enjoying herself.
After reluctantly sitting for another quarter of an hour, Qin Zhao couldn't bear it any longer: "I'm very tired sitting like this. Please let me go. I'll go sit on the chaise longue for a while."
Xiao Ce glanced at the woman in his arms and saw only her fair profile and her earlobes as white as jade beads.
He looked at it steadily for a while and then said: "Sit for a while longer."
"But I'm not feeling well. Your legs are not feeling well at all." Qin Zhao struggled to get off his legs and went to lie down on the imperial concubine chair nearby.
Xiao Ce frowned slightly, wondering if this woman was tired of him? The impatience on her face was clearly written just now.
He was afraid that she would be empty and lonely, so he wanted to accompany her when dealing with government affairs, so that she could feel at ease and stop thinking wildly.
He thought she would be happy, but why was her reaction so different from what he expected?
Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao steadily for a while. Because Qin Zhao took the storybook and was reading it, his attention was attracted by the story inside, and he didn't notice anything strange about Xiao Ce.
When he was finally sure that Qin Zhao would not look at him, Xiao Cecai looked back at the memorial in his hand without expression.
It's just that he couldn't read a word of the content in the memorial, and all he could think about was Qin Zhao.
He wanted to please her, but was rejected by her...
On the other side, Qin Zhao got tired of looking at him. He raised his head and turned his neck. At this moment, he saw Xiao Ce's tense handsome face.
Because it is a side face, it looks sharp and angular, handsome and somewhat sharp at the same time, except that the four words "Keep away from strangers" are not engraved on the face.
"What's wrong with you?" Qin Zhao went to Xiao Ce and asked.
Xiao Ce looked up at her and his expression returned to normal: "I was distracted."
Qin Zhao didn't ask any more questions. She left the study, brought back some fruits and snacks, and sent them to Xiao Ce: "If you are tired, eat some fruits first and don't push yourself too hard."
Although I don't know what he was thinking just now, he didn't look happy at all.
