Bao Zhu still wanted to make insinuating remarks, but in the end Qin Zhao took the topic away.
Qin Zhao no longer looked for trouble. She had exhausted her energy and had a good appetite during the meal. Baoyu saw it in her eyes and was happy in her heart. She was also filled with joy when she saw that Liangdi liked to eat her cooking.
As for Xiao Ce, he was a little absent-minded after returning to the main hall.
He had no friends and couldn't tell anyone about the situation between him and Qin Zhao, so he could only keep everything in his heart and didn't even have anyone to discuss it with.
He couldn't tell Wen Chong and Luo Yan about this.
Although he didn't know what it was like for other people to have sex, he knew that it would not be as ordinary as the one between him and Qin Zhao. He knew that this situation was wrong, but he didn't know how to deal with it, and he still couldn't figure out Qin Zhao.
thoughts.
Seeing Xiao Ce sighing unconsciously, Zhang Jixiang asked boldly: "What kind of grievance did your Highness suffer in Wangyue Residence?"
Ever since His Highness went to Wangyue Residence, His Highness had something on his mind, and he couldn't blame him for thinking that way.
Xiao Ce glanced at Zhang Jixiang, and this look made Zhang Jixiang's heart tremble: "My slave made a mistake, please forgive me, Your Highness."
"Zhang Jixiang, how many years have you served the orphan?" Xiao Ce asked quietly.
Zhang Jixiang's expression changed slightly, and he knelt down on the ground, "Even if this slave makes a thousand mistakes, Your Highness, don't abandon this slave. Your loyalty to Your Highness can be seen from the sun and the moon. Your Highness, this slave has realized his mistake..."
"You always say you know your mistakes, but you don't know where you are wrong. Over the years, I have never doubted your loyalty to Gu, but it is also because of Gu's trust that you become more serious day by day." Xiao Ce's eyes turned slightly.
cold.
Zhang Jixiang was frightened when he heard this. He had always thought that he was the closest person to His Highness, and he never thought that one day His Highness would be so disappointed in him.
"Minion, minion..." Zhang Jixiang burst into tears before he could say anything.
He really didn't know where he went wrong.
Xiao Ce felt heavy when he saw Zhang Jixiang like this.
How could he not know that Zhang Jixiang was different? When he first entered the East Palace, he didn't know anything about it. At that time, he had only one person, and the one who had been with him growing up was Zhang Jixiang.
"Think about it, where did you go wrong? Once you think about it clearly, go back to serve me." Xiao Ce gave an order.
Zhang Jixiang stood up tremblingly, crying so hard that he was out of breath.
Xiao Ce looked at Zhang Jixiang's back and shook his head helplessly.
If Zhang Jixiang was not forced, Zhang Jixiang would never realize his mistake.
People around him must understand a truth and not be too self-righteous.
After Zhang Jixiang exited, he knelt down at the door. He couldn't figure out where he went wrong. It was clear that he had done nothing wrong. He just asked His Highness, but he was wronged at Wangyueju.
His Highness is unhappy just because of this question. Why is this?
Qiu Shui walked away for a while and when she came back, she saw Zhang Jixiang kneeling on the ground. When she passed by Zhang Jixiang, Zhang Jixiang glanced at her, which made her confused.
She was quite happy to see Zhang Jixiang being punished.
Watching Qiu Shui go in to serve, Zhang Jixiang felt a little depressed. Since Qiu Shui ascended to the throne, his and Nian Su's status has declined. Now that Nian Su is trying to save his face, he is being scolded by His Highness again. Isn't that why Qiu Shui is proud?
The more he thought about it, the more he realized that this was nothing. He had to figure out what exactly made His Highness dissatisfied about him.
However, he could not figure out what he had done wrong, especially when he saw Qiu Shui waiting in front of His Highness, which made him very anxious.
Kneeling until the dead of night, the surroundings were very quiet. Zhang Jixiang carefully considered every word His Highness said, and considering the time when His Highness became angry, he felt that it was still related to Wangyueju.
His mistake was to maliciously speculate that it was Qin Liangdi who had wronged His Highness, because it was Qin Liangdi that His Highness cared about the most. The person His Highness cared about was also the person he disliked.
In fact, he is just a slave. What a slave has to do is to serve his master, not to make decisions for him. There are so many masters in the East Palace, and his preferences are not important at all.
His Highness asked him to think clearly before going back to serve him, but he didn't know if he had thought clearly.
The next day, Xiao Ce got up early in the morning, and before he stayed, he saw Zhang Jixiang crawling in on his knees, and quickly came to him: "Your Highness, I have figured it out. I should not maliciously speculate on Qin Liangdi, and should not decide your likes and dislikes for Your Highness.
You should not take yourself too seriously. I will never be self-righteous in the future. I will definitely fulfill my duty as a slave. It is the duty of a slave to serve His Highness well."
Xiao Ce looked at Zhang Jixiang with complicated eyes: "I hope you have really thought about it clearly. Get up."
Zhang Jixiang had tears in his eyes.
After kneeling all night, he was still a little unsteady when he stood up. He said in a hoarse voice: "Let the servant help His Highness change his clothes."
"Yeah." Xiao Ce opened his hands.
When Zhang Jixiang saw that Xiao Ce still asked him to serve him, he immediately smiled and stepped forward to help Xiao Ce change clothes.
This is a great joy for Zhang Jixiang, and his duty is to serve his master well.
Qiushui hadn't seen Zhang Jixiang all night, and found that when she saw Zhang Jixiang again, Zhang Jixiang no longer looked at her with contempt. This change surprised her.
In the past, Zhang Jixiang would put on the face of a married woman when he saw her, but today it was just the opposite. This change was too fast.
At lunch time, it was Qiu Shui's turn to serve Xiao Ce. In the past, when Zhang Jixiang saw this scene, he would make the decision for her and take away her job of serving His Highness. This time, Zhang Jixiang stood aside steadily.
, there was no response, which surprised her.
When Xiao Ce finished his lunch, Zhang Jixiang just waited aside. He didn't say anything and Zhang Jixiang didn't move.
Xiao Ce saw this change and was very satisfied.
I am afraid that this is only temporary. As time goes by, Zhang Jixiang will become as ignorant as before. He still needs to observe slowly.
Three days later, when Xiao Ce went to Wangyue Residence, the person serving him closely was Zhang Jixiang.
Qin Zhao hadn't seen Zhang Jixiang for some days, but this time he suddenly saw Zhang Jixiang waiting beside Xiao Ce, and he couldn't help but take a second look out of curiosity.
Zhang Jixiang looked more polite than before. When he saw her, he bowed to her politely, then stood far away and took the others further away.
This was not the case in the past.
When Zhang Jixiang saw her before, he seemed to be guarding against wolves, wishing he could always be by Xiao Ce's side, but now he took the initiative to lead her away. This was really strange.
"Has Zhang Jixiang experienced a big shock? He doesn't look normal." Qin Zhao was extremely curious.
Xiao Ce laughed when he heard this: "Jixiang looks like he was hit?"
"Isn't it true? It seems that a person's character will change only after suffering a big blow. Otherwise, why would there be a saying that one's nature is hard to change?" Qin Zhao said clearly.
