"If your Majesty is busy, there is no need to come here. I'm fine. Nothing happened at all." Of course Qin Zhao knew that Xiao Ce came to have dinner with her because she had a conflict with the Queen Mother Guo today. This was clearly meant to appease her.
.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense?!" Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao coldly.
Qin Zhao glared back: "I'm worried that the emperor won't be able to finish his official business and will have to stay up late. How can I be considerate of the emperor's hard work?"
"I think you are more pleasant when you don't speak." Xiao Ce said and asked Baoyu to pass the meal.
Qin Zhao just wanted to go to Xiao Ce and kick him, but she shut her mouth obediently and was too lazy to talk to Xiao Ce anymore.
During the meal, Qin Zhao didn't say a word. Xiao Ce felt strange and looked at Qin Zhao a few more times.
She also knew how to vent her anger with him, and her expression didn't look wrong. She probably didn't care about what happened in Cihe Palace during the day, right?
"Why don't you speak?" Xiao Ce finally couldn't hold it back and asked.
Qin Zhao rolled his eyes at him: "Don't you think the emperor thinks I talk too much? I just kept my mouth shut in compliance with Emperor Cong's order."
Xiao Ce wanted to hit her with chopsticks. This girl was as narrow-minded as a needle's eye.
"You can speak now." Xiao Ce had no choice but to say.
In the end, he opened his mouth, but Qin Zhao still didn't speak, "I said you can talk now."
"Then I also have the right not to speak, right?" Qin Zhao criticized him again.
This time Xiao Ce couldn't hold it back and hit her on the head with his chopsticks.
Qin Zhao did not expect Xiao Ce to be so violent. She sneered and said: "The emperor is an emperor, but he always beats women. Are you as stingy as you? The emperor asks me to be a lady all day long, but the emperor himself does not behave like a gentleman."
"
When Xiao Ce saw that what she said was not pleasant to listen to, he immediately felt that it would be better for her not to speak.
At the moment, he can be sure that even if Qin Zhao still has resentment, he has almost vented it now, and that's fine.
After dinner, Xiao Ce stood up and said, "Send it to me."
"Is there anything to give? Jinyang Palace is very close to Yangxin Palace, so it would be troublesome to send it back and forth." Qin Zhao refused directly.
Xiao Ce was speechless for a moment.
Only Qin Zhao in the entire harem dared to reject him, but it had to be said that he liked her feeling of not treating him as an outsider.
In the eyes of the world, he is just an emperor, but in her eyes, he is not only an emperor, but also someone close to her.
"Then I'm back. If you feel bored, you might as well go to the Yangxin Hall to find me and I'll play with you." Xiao Ce touched Qin Zhao's head, raised the corners of his lips, and walked away.
Baoyu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the imperial team walking away.
She gave Qin Zhaoshu a thumbs up: "Young lady is so powerful, she managed the emperor to be obedient."
Qin Zhao was confused that Xiao Ce had not been angry because of her age. When she heard Baoyu's words, she was speechless: "Do you think the emperor was docile and obedient under my treatment?"
"Isn't that true? Just now, the emperor asked the girl to escort him, but the girl refused. Isn't that a sign of disobedience?" Baoyu reminded.
Qin Zhao was stunned for a moment: "Yes, I always forget that the emperor has ascended the throne. He is now the emperor. I just refused to see him off because I was resisting the decree."
But Xiao Ce didn't mean to be unhappy just now, and seemed to be in a good mood, which meant that Xiao Ce didn't take her rejection as resistance.
Therefore, he is still the same as before he ascended the throne, without the airs of the emperor in front of her.
"The emperor treats girls differently. He treats her as one of his own." Baoyu admired Qin Zhao from the bottom of his heart.
Looking at the entire harem, no one dares to resist the decree like the girl. The girl is so stubborn!
Qin Zhao liked the words "one of our own" used by Baoyu. She regarded Xiao Ce as one of her own, and Xiao Ce also regarded her as one of his own. This did not change because of his change in identity.
She used to worry that after he became emperor, he would become like in his previous life, but now it seems that she is worrying too much.
After thinking about this, she was in a very good mood.
Baoyu also noticed Qin Zhao's good mood.
Even if the grievances she suffered in Cihe Palace today are nothing, the emperor’s visit will make the girl feel better.
No matter how powerful Queen Mother Guo is, can she be stronger than the Emperor?
That night, Qin Zhaodu fell asleep, but was woken up by someone.
Only then did she realize that Xiao Ce actually came over to torment her so late...
For several days, Xiao Ce was so busy that he would go to Jinyang Palace to stay overnight no matter how late he was.
Originally, the movements in the harem were visible to everyone, and the movements of the emperor Xiao Ce were also under everyone's sight.
Xiao Ce's stay at Jinyang Palace for several days was naturally noticed by everyone.
In fact, news about Qin Zhao's humiliation in Cihe Palace has been circulating in the past few days. Everyone was secretly watching Qin Zhao's jokes, but who knew that the slap in the face came so quickly. Xiao Ce was clearly supporting Qin Zhao every night.
They all stayed overnight in Jinyang Palace.
In other words, no matter how much Empress Dowager Guo dislikes Qin Zhao, it will not affect Qin Zhao's favor at all.
Before, everyone was watching Qin Zhao's jokes, but now everyone is secretly envious of Qin Zhao's ability to win Xiao Ce's exclusive favor.
Of course, some people continued to watch Qin Zhao's jokes. After all, no matter how many times he slept with her, Qin Zhao would never be able to conceive a child. No matter how favored this woman was, she could only live in the palace with no name or status.
Of course Qin Zhao will not be a threat to others.
Of course, the news about Xiao Ce staying in Jinyang Palace every night reached Cihe Palace. Empress Dowager Guo sneered and said to Nianyun: "You asked the Ai family to be more tolerant to the Qin family, but you also saw that the emperor only pampered Qin.
If the Ai family hadn't had the foresight to obtain a posthumous edict from the late emperor, the emperor might have made Qin a noble concubine. The Ai family were right at the beginning. Qin had the same virtues as Wu Taifei, and the emperor became more and more like her.
The late emperor."
Seeing that Empress Dowager Guo was really angry, Nianyun said softly: "Your Majesty has a stubborn temper. If you have anything to say to the Emperor, your Majesty will listen to it. From what I can see, your Majesty is just coveting Miss Qin's beauty. If you wait too long,
, The emperor has other new loves, so naturally he will not only favor Miss Qin."
"Didn't the emperor also say that the draft will be discussed three years later? By then the emperor will be old, but he will not have an heir. How will this make the country of Qi stable? The civil and military officials cannot tolerate people like the Qin family.
Witch." Empress Dowager Guo felt heartbroken when she mentioned this matter.
Xiao Ce is twenty-one years old this year, but he doesn’t have a son or a daughter yet. Which man in the world doesn’t marry a wife and have children at his age?
When Xiao Ce became emperor alone, not only was his harem empty, but he also had no children.
Nianyun didn't know how to comfort Queen Mother Guo.
After all, Empress Dowager Guo was also doing it for the great Qi country and the emperor's good, but the emperor loved Miss Qin so much that the relationship between the Queen Mother and the emperor became worse and worse because of Miss Qin.
"Why don't the Queen Mother find some famous ladies to enter the palace, and then give the Emperor a chance to look at them, and then keep the ones he likes?" Nian Yun thought that this might be a way.
