Wu Xirou lowered her eyes and smiled, "This is what a sister should do."
She said and stepped aside, not disturbing Qin Zhao's interest in chatting with Xiao Ce.
In his heart, Qin Zhao only admired Wu Xirou's determination, how calm she was, and how generous she was.
Because of the tea given by Wu Xirou, Qin Zhao's conversation was greatly reduced. She sat quietly next to Xiao Ce, remembering Princess Yonghe's reminder to her, and her thoughts turned to Princess Yongning.
"Your Highness has finished his work and has to eat on time. I will go back first."
Qin Zhao stood up, but Xiao Ce pulled her back: "Sit tight!"
Qin Zhao had no choice but to sit obediently.
"I'll have dinner with you later." Xiao Ce said in a commanding tone.
"Okay, but Your Highness, don't keep me waiting for too long. I'm hungry now." As soon as Qin Zhao finished speaking, Xiao Ce dropped what he was doing and pulled her up.
Qin Zhao:......
Zhang Jixiang didn't expect that his master would have dinner so early today, so he was in a hurry and ordered someone to prepare the meal at the last minute.
After all, Zhang Jixiang was very fast. After about a quarter of an hour, the dishes were served one after another.
During the meal, Qin Zhao was rarely attentive and gave Xiao Ce food from time to time.
When Qin Zhao saw Xiao Ce's slightly raised lips, he knew that the prince enjoyed her service.
After that, she said a lot of sweet words to Xiao Ce. Although Xiao Ce didn't show it on his face, Qin Zhao could feel his happy mood.
Therefore, it is not difficult at all to coax Prince Xiao well. Anyway, he loves to hear good things. Even if she doesn't mean what she says, it is still very useful to him.
Before returning to Wangyue's residence, Qin Zhao did not forget to give Xiao Ce Mi Tang: "Your Highness must take care of yourself and have meals at regular times. Otherwise, Your Highness will not be in good health, and I will be the most sad and sad."
"Did you take the wrong medicine today?" Xiao Ce was not stupid, and of course he saw that Qin Zhao was particularly attentive today.
"That's all, pretend I didn't say anything, your Highness can do whatever you like." Qin Zhao waved his hand and walked away gracefully.
"Damn girl!" Xiao Ce muttered while looking at Qin Zhao's back.
Although Xiao Ce's voice was very low, Qin Zhao heard it clearly. She walked away slowly and quickly disappeared from Xiao Ce's sight.
When Wu Xirou saw Xiao Ce staring at Qin Zhao's back, she reminded: "There are still many things to deal with. Your Highness, please hurry up, otherwise you will have to stay up late again."
Xiao Ce turned around and went to the study room, and asked casually: "How sincere do you think Qin Liangdi's words just now are?"
"Sister Qin seems to be doing nothing, but it is really for the good of His Highness. It is true that Sister Qin cares about His Highness." Wu Xirou told the truth.
If Xiao Ce could listen to her sweet words, then she would be willing to say them, but she is not Qin Zhao, and Xiao Ce wouldn't listen to her even if she said them.
"She seems to be insincere when she speaks. I never know which of her words are true and which are false." Xiao Ce shook his head: "I won't talk about her anymore."
Qin Zhao hadn't gone far yet, and he couldn't help but feel wronged when he heard Xiao Ce's words. From Xiao Ce's tone, it seemed that she was a scumbag, and she obviously said it to make him happy, thinking that he liked to hear sweet words.
Okay, next time she will be more serious and won't make him drink the soup. It's really because Xiao Ce's suspicion is too serious.
After returning to Wangyue Residence, Qin Zhao asked Baoyu to check the details of Princess Yongning.
I thought Baoyu would be able to find out the news the next day, but who knew this girl was so capable that she went to her sisters that night to find out some information.
"Princess Yongning's biological mother was once a palace maid who served Concubine Rong, and she had a romantic relationship with the emperor. The palace maid gave birth to Princess Yongning and died of bleeding in the stool on the same day." Baoyu told Qin Zhao the initial news.
"Isn't Concubine Rong the biological mother of the third prince?" Qin Zhao remembered that he had met Concubine Rong from afar.
She only knew that Concubine Rong was always low-key and rarely walked around, so she had little presence in the harem. It was interesting to think that Princess Yongning's biological mother had once served Concubine Rong.
"Exactly! Concubine Rong is a kind-hearted person. After Princess Yongning was born, no one took care of her. She originally wanted to raise Princess Yongning by herself, but the emperor gave Princess Yongning to Concubine Wu to raise. But Concubine Wu did not want to raise Princess Yongning, and in the end Princess Yongning was wanted by Yang Xiuyi
However, the good times did not last long. After Yang Xiuyi raised Princess Yongning for a year, she also felt that it was unlucky, so she abandoned Princess Yongning. In the end, the Queen Mother saw that Princess Yongning was pitiful and kept her in Cihe Palace for several years.
When she was six years old, Princess Yongning moved to Yongningzhai." Baoyu told everything about Princess Yongning's childhood.
"I moved into Yongningzhai by myself when I was six years old. Princess Yongning was still young at that time, right? It sounds so pitiful." Qin Zhao thought thoughtfully.
Princess Yongning sounds like an unlucky person. Her biological mother died tragically when giving birth to her. In addition, her biological mother was of low status and had no one to rely on. Later, she was like a ball being kicked around.
No matter who encounters such a thing, it is impossible to remain indifferent, not to mention that Princess Yongning was only six years old when she lived alone, which is somewhat similar to what happened to Princess Yonghe.
"My maid, Princess Yongning looks pretty good too. She and Princess Yongchun are still good sisters." Baoyu disagreed.
She didn't feel sorry for Princess Yongning anyway.
"You said that the Queen Mother had raised Princess Yongning for a few years, why didn't she stop raising her later?" Qin Zhao asked puzzledly.
Today Princess Yongning also went to Cihe Palace to pay her respects to the Queen Mother. She felt that the Queen Mother did not seem to be very close to Princess Yongning.
"It seems that because the Empress Dowager was not in good health during the years when she raised Princess Yongning, the emperor also felt that Princess Yongning was an unlucky person, so he vacated the Yongning Zhai. From then on, Princess Yongning lived alone. The slave girl's knowledge is limited, so how to do it specifically?
We need to investigate further." Baoyu replied.
"Is there such a thing?" Qin Zhao felt that the Queen Mother was in good health and did not seem to be in poor health.
She didn't believe the idea of an ominous person, but some people in the harem believed it.
"Yes, I heard that the Queen Mother got better after sending Princess Yongning away." Baoyu said again.
"I have to ask the Queen Mother about this tomorrow." Qin Zhao increasingly felt that Princess Yongning was more complicated than she thought.
Princess Yongning gives people the impression that she is aloof, soft-tempered, and has a great temper. Could it be that Princess Yongning turned dark many years ago?
She thought Princess Yongning, whom Princess Yonghe had dealt with a few years ago, was more real. At least that Princess Yongning was not a bad person.
Early the next morning, Qin Zhao went to Cihe Palace to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager, and asked about this matter by the way.
"If you don't mention this, the Ai family will forget about it. At first, the Ai family felt that Yongning's child was pitiful, and no one wanted to raise that child. No matter what, Yongning was always of royal blood, so the Ai family decided to bring her to Cihe
Gong Yang grew up. How could he know that during the time when he was raising Yongning, Aijia’s health was in and out of good health, and he never recovered, and he lost his energy..."
