"Since the punishment has been passed, why not let Ayi return to the palace to celebrate the New Year. After all, you only have two younger brothers. When he returns to Kyoto, you will take care of him personally, and you can also let him help you share your worries. Ace,
What do you think?" the Empress Dowager asked again, carefully observing Xiao Ce's expression.
She knew that this child respected her, and now he was the only one who could listen to one or two of what she said.
Xiao Ce had never disobeyed the Queen Mother's wishes before, but this time, he did not want to compromise.
"King An has been willful for so many years. He should pay some price for his willfulness. Guarding the imperial mausoleum for half a year is just a small punishment. If he can't even bear this small punishment, he must practice hard.
"Character. Grandmother, the prince and grandson are too delicate, which is not a good thing, don't you think?" Xiao Ce opened his lips indifferently.
The Empress Dowager did not expect that Xiao Ce would refuse her request, and refuse it so simply, and there was nothing wrong with Xiao Ce's words.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally took a step back: "That's all, as long as you know what's going on. But Ayi is your brother after all, so you should leave some leeway in doing things."
"As long as he behaves and behaves, I will naturally treat him as a brother. If he does not behave, it is no wonder that I don't care about brotherhood." Xiao Ce is not afraid of making ugly remarks first.
The Queen Mother became anxious when she heard this: "But what did Ayi do to make you angry?"
Xiao Ce's eyes flashed slightly and he replied quietly: "He is currently guarding the imperial mausoleum and will not commit any crime."
I just wonder if Xiao Yi will be honest when guarding the imperial mausoleum.
The Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief. After that, she changed this heavy topic and talked about some trivial household matters, and the atmosphere was not bad.
After leaving Shoukang Palace, Xiao Ce looked a little solemn.
He quickly returned to the Yangxin Hall. When he saw Qin Zhao sitting in Xinuang Pavilion reading a book, he was a little surprised: "Why are you here, girl?"
Could it be that something happened again?
"I wanted to go out to eat after lunch, but unexpectedly I came to the Yangxin Hall while walking. Since the emperor is not here, I am waiting here." Qin Zhao came to Xiao Ce with a smile on his face.
: "Is this a surprise?"
Xiao Ce was originally feeling a little heavy, but when he saw Qin Zhao's warm smile, his mood suddenly became brighter.
"Of course it's a surprise." Xiao Ce sat next to Qin Zhao, letting her lean into his arms, and murmured lingeringly: "You are the biggest surprise in my life."
Qin Zhao smiled and guessed that Xiao Ce's mood was not affected.
The Empress Dowager should still approach Xiao Ce about Xiao Yi, but Xiao Ce has never been a soft-hearted person, and he probably won't agree easily.
Although she had some concerns in her heart, she still wanted to ask clearly: "I heard before that the Imperial Grandmother specially asked you to go to Shoukang Palace for lunch, but what do you want to tell you?"
She asked tactfully, just to see if Xiao Ce was willing to tell the truth to her.
Xiao Ce took a deep look at Qin Zhao and said that he would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. This girl really had such a temper.
"Do you know why the Imperial Grandmother came to see me?" Xiao Ce asked bluntly.
Qin Zhao nodded slightly and said seriously: "The emperor's grandmother asked me to persuade you, but I didn't agree. This matter is that the emperor has been wronged. Isn't it reasonable to punish King An? Why should I ease the punishment for An?
The king’s punishment? The emperor’s grandmother doesn’t feel sorry for the emperor, I feel sorry for him.”
Xiao Ce did not expect to hear such words from Qin Zhao's mouth.
He lived for two lives, became the crown prince for two lives, and successfully ascended the throne in both lives.
He has always been a king, controlling the life and death of others. But there is such a woman who says she feels sorry for him.
He reached out and took Qin Zhao, let her lean into his arms, and breathed hot breath into her ears: "Then how do you feel sorry for me, eh?"
Qin Zhao didn't expect this man to be so thick-skinned. She couldn't answer the question for a moment, and then heard him whisper in her ear: "You can't just talk but don't do it. You have to do something practical..."
"Okay, okay, okay, how do you want to feel sorry for me in a practical way?" Qin Zhao interrupted Xiao Ce angrily.
Xiao Ce laughed deeply and pointed to his thin lips: "Kiss it and my mood will improve."
Qin Zhao followed Xiao Ce's words and kissed him on the peak of his lips, then on his lower lip, and the last kiss fell on the corner of his lips.
After kissing her three times in a row, she was about to pull away, but Xiao Ce grabbed her waist and brought her into his arms, tightly fitting into his body. He kissed her like rain and gave her a few kisses.
A long kiss that made her suffocate.
When Xiao Ce finally let her go, she could hardly breathe.
The strange thing is that just a kiss made her so obsessed.
It took Xiao Ce a while to calm down his breathing. He let go of Qin Zhao and said in a hoarse voice, "Go back to your Kunning Palace."
His disgusting tone made Qin Zhao burst into laughter: "The emperor dislikes my concubine so much?"
He looked like he couldn't live without her just now. Isn't this man's face changing too fast?
Xiao Ce gently scratched her nose: "You are distracting me here, so let's go."
The tone was endlessly doting, but also filled with deep helplessness.
Qin Zhao suppressed a smile and walked out of his arms. His tone unconsciously took on a hint of coquettishness: "I'll go back first. Your Majesty, work hard. Don't miss me too much."
As soon as she finished saying this, she felt that her voice was too vulgar.
When she saw the smile on Xiao Ce's face, she couldn't help but walked away quickly.
Xiao Ce watched Qin Zhao's back go away, shook his head and laughed.
He had never known before that loving someone could be so irresistible and so intoxicating. Gentle Township, Tomb of Heroes, the ancients never deceived me.
Qin Zhao walked for a while, but Xiao Ce couldn't concentrate yet. He was clearly reading the memorial, but it was Qin Zhao's face.
After a while, he stroked his forehead and smiled, feeling that he was getting more and more alive, being so fascinated by a woman.
After Qin Zhao returned to Kunning Palace, she fell asleep beautifully. She was still sleeping, but suddenly she couldn't breathe freely. When she opened her eyes, she found Xiao Ce pressing on her, and he kissed her passionately.
, leaving her overwhelmed.
After finally getting a break, she looked out the window: "What time is it?"
"I don't know." Xiao Ce kissed Qin Zhao's lips again.
He doesn't care either.
After Qin Zhao left Yangxin Hall, he had no interest in government affairs at all, and all he could think about was Qin Zhao.
Later, when the resistance failed, he simply gave in and came to see Qin Zhao.
This heartless guy was fine, he slept peacefully, as if it wasn't her who had seduced him before.
He couldn't hit or scold such a person, he just wanted to caress him in the palm of his hand. Such strong emotions were something he had never experienced in his entire life. He just wanted to connect this person with his flesh and blood...
By the time the inner room became quiet, it was already dark outside.
