Zhang Jixiang used to be a popular figure in front of Xiao Ce, but after Qiu Shui came to power, he and Nian Su had fewer opportunities to serve in front of His Highness the Crown Prince.
In the past, how could His Highness be without his presence? Now His Highness would not take him with him when he went out. He still knew from others that the Crown Prince had gone to Wangyue Residence.
This matter was quickly forgotten by everyone, because Xiao Ce was busy with business in the next few days and had no time to walk around the backyard of the East Palace.
Just when everyone was feeling disheartened, Xiao Ce suddenly had free time again and walked around the backyard frequently.
In short, the owners of every villa have the opportunity to meet Xiao Ce. Xiao Ce will always stay in a certain villa for one or two hours a day, which means that the rain and dew are equally shared.
Another two days passed, and after Xiao Ce had visited many villas in the East Palace, it was finally Wangyue Residence's turn.
As soon as Qin Zhao saw Xiao Ce, he couldn't help but laugh at him: "Your Highness has almost become a legendary playboy."
"Playboy?" Xiao Ce heard this word for the first time and felt that this girl's words were a bit fresh, but it didn't seem to be a good word.
"I complimented His Highness on how handsome he is." Qin Zhao said with a smile.
Xiao Ce touched Qin Zhao's head: "I can't believe what you say, girl."
"If I can't believe my words, then whose words can I believe?" Qin Zhao asked with a smile.
Xiao Ce looked at her bright smile and took her towards the bedroom.
Qin Zhao saw something: "Your Highness is not going to have a baby with me during the day, right?"
Didn't he never profess prostitution in the daytime? Anyway, such a thing never happened in the previous life. How could an old-fashioned emperor like him, who was diligent and caring for the people, do things that would only be done by a weak emperor?
To Xiao Ce, his style of promulgating lewdness in daylight is no different from that of a foolish king.
"Yeah." Xiao Ce responded quietly: "Isn't this okay?"
Qin Zhao was choked by him, and after a while she reminded him: "It's broad daylight, isn't it?"
In her previous life, if she had seduced him during the day, he would have scolded her in turn.
"There's nothing wrong with it. The situation forces you to look like this." Xiao Ce's ears felt a little hot.
He also felt that this was inappropriate, but if she wanted her to give birth to the child quickly, both of them would have to work harder.
Qin Zhao saw the reddish tips of his ears with sharp eyes and couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.
However, she has no expectations for making a baby. Anyway, it is just to complete a task, just like reading and writing every day.
The two of them had a tacit understanding on this matter, each took a corner, then took off their clothes, and then started making a baby.
Qin Zhao doesn't have any expectations about this matter now, and she won't feel shy. Probably because she knew early on that this was just making a baby, not a love affair between a man and a woman. Between her and Xiao Ce...
Qin Zhao opened his eyes and met Xiao Ce's eyes.
The two stared at each other for a while, and then Xiao Ce asked her, "Are you tired?"
Qin Zhao felt tired and answered truthfully: "A little."
Because of her words, the baby-making movement finally ended hastily.
Qin Zhao vaguely noticed that Xiao Ce's mood was not right, and her mood was not high either. After the two of them finished making the baby, they both fell into a strange silence.
"Well, Your Highness, let's have a cup of tea." Qin Zhao was at a loss for words and wanted to divert the awkward atmosphere at this moment.
After Xiao Ce took the tea cup, he took a sip with a serious expression.
"Your Highness, is there something on your mind?" Qin Zhao asked boldly.
Xiao Ce must be unhappy with such an expression, and his unhappiness may be because her performance just now made him unhappy. If so, she is the culprit.
If this is the reason, it means that Xiao Ce doesn't like her body, which is really not something she should be happy about.
Xiao Ce touched her head and looked at her with complicated eyes, but said nothing.
Qin Zhao didn't know what to say, and the two of them were in awkward silence for a while. Finally, Xiao Ce stood up and said, "I'm back alone."
"Farewell, Your Highness." Qin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and stood up hurriedly.
Xiao Ce looked back and heard her high-pitched voice and saw her breathing a sigh of relief, which meant that she wanted him to leave quickly.
He wanted to give her a child, but she showed no enthusiasm and seemed very passive. It is unclear whether she didn't like him or she couldn't let go of Zhao Yu.
The moment he walked out of Wangyue Residence, Xiao Ce sighed and found that there was no one around him with whom he could talk.
He is the prince and the heirloom, and he and Zhao Yu were considered friends before. Now his worries are related to Zhao Yu, and he cannot talk to Zhao Yu about his worries.
If it were other women who were not willing to sleep with him or have children, that would be fine. But this was Qin Zhao, and she was not someone else.
"If your Highness has something on your mind, please tell me. Maybe I can give you some advice." Qiu Shui asked when he saw Xiao Ce frowning.
When Xiao Ce heard this, he looked at Qiu Shui, maybe Qiu Shui could solve his doubts.
"What do you think Qin Liangdi thinks of Gu?" Xiao Ce asked casually.
"This... should be regarded as His Highness the Crown Prince, someone you can rely on, and a lifesaver." Qiu Shui didn't know if this was the right answer.
Speaking of which, she only knew that Qin Liangdi was brought back to the palace by His Highness the Crown Prince. Later, she heard that Qin Liangdi was kidnapped and it was His Highness the Crown Prince who rescued her.
Since she had never been involved in this matter and only knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was not in the palace, she guessed that this must be the truth.
Xiao Ce understood.
So Qin Zhao alone did not regard him as her man. She said she wanted to be with him for the rest of her life just because he could be relied upon.
Xiao Ce felt that it was useless to think too much.
No matter what Qin Zhao thinks about him, she will give birth to a child for him. If it doesn't work this time, there will be another time.
In the eyes of outsiders, Xiao Ce would stay for an hour or two when he went to other gardens, but he left Wangyue Residence in less than half an hour this time. It must be because Qin Zhao did not like His Highness the Crown Prince.
In other words, Qin Zhao has completely fallen out of favor and will be forgotten by His Highness sooner or later.
Of course, there are some people who disagree, including Li Chenghui and Wang Zhaoxun. Judging from their understanding of the relationship between Qin Zhao and Xiao Ce, Qin Zhao cannot fall out of favor easily.
Even when Qin Zhao was kidnapped, Xiao Ce went out of the palace to rescue Qin Zhao. After finally bringing him back to the palace, and when Qin Zhao became beautiful, how could Xiao Ce so easily ignore Qin Zhao?
According to their understanding of Qin Zhao, this woman is very scheming and very good at seducing men. It is impossible for this woman to fall out of favor.
Wang Zhaoxun felt that it was the best time for her to meet Qin Zhao when Qin Zhao "fell out of favor".
At that moment, she prepared a gift and went to Wangyue Residence.
Qin Zhao was sitting in her study, reading and writing, cultivating herself. She was not surprised when she heard that Wang Zhaoxun asked for an audience.
