Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more tense, the emperor came out to smooth things over: "My mother must be tired after a long journey. Let's go back to Cihe Palace to rest. If we have anything to rest, we can discuss it later."
Some things are said behind closed doors and exposed in public, which will only make outsiders see the royal joke.
The Queen Mother took one look at everyone and knew the emperor's good intentions, so she walked down the steps. But she remembered this Qin Liangdi.
On the first day she returned to the palace, the prince quarreled with her over such a concubine. If the prince ascended the throne in the future and Qin Liangdi entered the harem, would she become a charming evildoer?
When Qin Zhao felt the meaningful look from the Queen Mother, he knew that he had another powerful enemy in the harem.
The Queen Mother and Concubine Wu are in the same group. Even if Xiao Ce protects her, Xiao Ce will probably be in trouble when facing the Queen Mother.
After watching the Queen Mother go away on a chariot, Qin Zhaocai followed Xiao Ce towards the East Palace.
Not only did Qin Zhao feel a sense of crisis, Xiao Ce also saw the Queen Mother's hostility towards Qin Zhao.
If anyone else was fine, it was the imperial grandmother.
Although his father didn't like Qin Zhao, he didn't have enough time to target Qin Zhao all the time. The emperor's grandmother was different. Given her seniority, Qin Zhaoruo was often called to Cihe Palace to pay respects, so he would suffer a lot in the future.
Xiao Ce sent Qin Zhao to Wangyue Residence and asked, "What do you think?"
Qin Zhao didn't understand the meaning of Xiao Ce's words for a moment: "I don't think much about it."
"What I mean is how do you plan to deal with the emperor's grandmother's difficulties in the future?" Xiao Ce touched Qin Zhao's head: "You must not be careless. The emperor's grandmother is much more difficult to deal with than Concubine Wu."
Qin Zhao gave him a fake smile: "Your Majesty, what you are saying is quite embarrassing. I am not a tapeworm in the Empress Dowager's belly, so how can I know how the Empress Dowager will make things difficult for me in the future? In this case, of course it is impossible.
Think of a countermeasure in advance.”
If she is so powerful, why can't she deal with the Queen Mother?
"What should we do? Why don't you go to the main palace to live with Gu? You will be wherever Gu is. If the imperial grandmother asks you to go to Cining Palace, Gu will stay with you..."
Before Xiao Ce finished speaking, Qin Zhao called out: "Your Highness, this method will not work. It will only make the Queen Mother hate me even more! My idea is to take it one step at a time. There is no use worrying about it now."
She was also worried, but what could she do? The boat would just go straight to the bridge.
Xiao Ce pondered for a moment and said: "I am going to send two skilled maids to Wangyue Residence. I am afraid that you are short of manpower here. Maybe two more people can come in handy at critical moments."
Qin Zhao smiled and said: "The manpower of Wangyueju is enough at the moment, and there is no need to add more people at this time. Adding people at this time will attract everyone's attention. I know that this is His Highness's good intention, but when facing the Queen Mother, you must not use force.
This trick may be useful against the overbearing and unreasonable Concubine Wu, but it is obviously not suitable for the Queen Mother or Cihe Palace. Your Highness, please rest assured, I know how to protect myself."
Xiao Ce sighed softly and held her in his arms: "Don't be brave. After what happened last time, I don't want to see you get hurt again. Grandma Huang is not easy to deal with. You need to wake up Twelve
Distracted."
Qin Zhao leaned in his arms, hugged his waist tightly, and replied in a low voice: "I cherish my little life the most, and I will definitely protect myself."
Xiao Ce's feelings were very complicated. He had never cared about anyone before. Although there were many women in the East Palace, he couldn't remember the names of many of them.
Since the addition of Qin Zhao, he felt that he had endless worries. What he was most afraid of was that his position as the prince was in vain and he could not even protect his own woman.
When he was resting at night, Qin Zhao found Xiao Ce lying on the couch and distracted.
She lay down next to him, Xiao Ce just held her in his arms, kissed her forehead, "Go to sleep."
Qin Zhao frowned slightly.
Xiao Ce's reaction was really hurtful. She was such a beauty lying next to him, wearing thin clothes, but he had no use for her. It had been a long time since she last went to bed. After all, it was because of his innate coldness towards her.
Every woman has no unnecessary thoughts, or is it because after getting her, he feels that her body is not attractive to him?
She was going to live with him for the rest of her life, and she couldn't live with him in such a tepid manner for the rest of her life.
She let out a long sigh unconsciously, feeling that she had no hope in the next life.
"Are you worried?" Xiao Ce heard Qin Zhao sigh and looked down at her.
At this glance, you can see the looming scenery under her half-open collar, which is charming and charming.
His eyes flashed slightly, and he pulled her collar up a little to cover her dazzling ice and jade skin.
Qin Zhao noticed his little move and didn't stop him.
Anyway, she felt that she was no different from a man when she stood naked in front of him, and he had no idea about her at all.
"How can I have anything on my mind? Your Highness, please rest early, I'm sleepy too." Qin Zhao said, simply hugged Xiao Ce's waist, and drilled in retaliation.
Xiao Ce's body became a little stiff in an instant, and he slapped her on the buttocks: "Don't move."
"If you have to move, move!" Qin Zhao became more aggressive.
Xiao Ce closed his eyes, tightened his grip on her arm, and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't move!!"
Qin Zhao was startled when he heard his scolding.
Why is this person like this? She was just making a small joke. Is it so loud?
Forget it, she doesn't care about him.
At that moment, she stopped moving and slept peacefully.
I don't know if it was because his embrace was too warm or because she had a big heart, but she soon fell asleep.
Xiao Ce heard the steady breathing coming from his arms, lowered his head and saw Qin Zhao's peaceful sleeping face. This damn girl said she could sleep, but it made him suffer...
After making sure that Qin Zhao was asleep, he pushed her further away. As a result, the girl got better and quickly got into his arms again, without even sleeping.
When Xiao Ce came out of Wangyue Residence the next morning, his eyes were all green and black, and his face didn't look very good.
Zhang Jixiang noticed at first glance that his master had not had a good rest, but he did not dare to ask, after all, he had not had a good rest at Wangyueju.
Doesn’t His Highness like Qin Liangdi very much? Then why does he look dissatisfied with desire?
Zhang Jixiang was peeping at Xiao Ce, and Xiao Ce happened to look over and asked coldly: "What are you looking at in such a sneaky way?!"
Zhang Jixiang immediately corrected his posture: "I don't dare."
Xiao Ce's face was still gloomy, and the more he looked at Zhang Jixiang, the worse his mood became: "You don't need to be on duty in front of me today."
Zhang Jixiang immediately cried and said: "What did I do wrong again? Your Highness, can you tell me? I will definitely change!"
Xiao Ce quickened his pace and walked away, leaving Zhang Jixiang standing in his place, really wondering where he had made a mistake again.
He was honest now. As long as it was about Wang Yueju and Qin Liangdi, he wouldn't ask a question if he shouldn't. But just like this, His Highness the Crown Prince still disliked him. What could he do?
