Empress Dowager Guo thought thoughtfully: "Just do this. There are so many famous ladies in the world, and there will always be one who suits the emperor's wishes."
"My servant thinks that Wu Xiurong is not bad. The emperor does not object to Wu Xiurong's closeness. Maybe Wu Xiurong will soon find a chance to sleep with him." Nianyun mentioned Wu Xirou.
In recent days, Wu Xirou has left a deep impression on them. This woman is neither as coquettish and willful as Wu Xiyu, nor as domineering as Princess Wu.
On the whole, Wu Xirou has a good temperament and is full of talents. She has the opportunity to serve the emperor in front of the emperor. Not even Qin Zhao has such ability.
"Wu Xiurong is indeed good, but the emperor has not allowed Wu Xiurong to sleep with her so far, and her prospects are not optimistic." Empress Dowager Guo was not optimistic about Wu Xirou.
Although she didn't like Concubine Wu, she didn't have any likes or dislikes towards Wu Xiurong. As long as she could spread the influence of the royal family, she thought it would be good for Wu Xirou to take the position.
She is someone who has come before, and knows that when a man likes a woman, he will never let her go unfavored. Wu Xirou has been in the palace for some time. So far, she has only had the opportunity to serve the pen and ink, but has not been able to sleep with her. It is obvious that the emperor does not regard Wu Xirou as his own woman.
.
"If Wu Xiurong can't do it, then find another girl. There are countless flowers in the world, and I believe that there is not only one girl from Qin who can fall in the emperor's eyes." Nianyun felt that this was the only way.
"I will do as you say. I hope there will be someone new who can arouse the emperor's interest." Empress Dowager Guo did not dare to have high expectations.
But she hoped that like Nianyun said, Xiao Ce would be attracted to other beauties.
Baoyu received news of what happened in Cihe Palace two days later.
It was because women of imperial order had been coming in and out of Cihe Palace for two consecutive days. This kind of movement was unusual, and many palace masters were inquiring about this situation.
If such a thing happened, how could Bao Qinwen's precious jade be left behind?
She received the news immediately and reported it to Qin Zhao.
After hearing this, Qin Zhao said calmly: "After the emperor ascended the throne, there were indeed fewer people in the harem. Empress Dowager Guo is so enthusiastic about the emperor's backyard affairs, and it is already too late to get busy with it now."
"Isn't it because the emperor suppressed the draft issue that the Queen Mother backed down and came up with this idea? The Emperor never wanted to stuff people into the harem, but the Queen Mother was worried about it. Yi Nunu
Look, it’s useless no matter how many people are packed in. The emperor will not like it.” Of course Baoyu also heard about this news.
This was what Qiu Shui told her. It was impossible to hide what happened in the Yangxin Palace from Jinyang Palace, because both Qiu Shui and Zhang Jixiang were interested in the girl, and Zhang Jixiang was Xiao Linzi's master.
"You seem to know the emperor very well." Qin Zhao said with a half-smile.
Baoyu hurriedly said: "Since the girl entered the palace, how the emperor treats the girl has been seen by the slaves. It's not that the slaves understand the emperor, but because the emperor treats the girl well and the slaves all see it."
Baozhu heard this and echoed: "Baoyu's words make sense."
Qin Zhao recalled what happened after he entered the palace and said with a smile: "The emperor treated me very well indeed."
Without Xiao Ce, where would she be today? Not to mention that he was her savior, without Xiao Ce, she would still be as thin and small as before, right?
No matter what happened later, Xiao Ce always stood by her side.
The most tense time they had was when Xiao Ce turned against her and confined her to Wangyue Residence. In that case, she was kidnapped, and Xiao Ce dropped everything in his hands and chased her out of the palace to save her.
Even after Xiao Ce ascended the throne, he gave her the dignity she deserved and allowed her to live in Jinyang Palace because he could not canonize her due to the imperial edict.
In short, there is nothing wrong with this man, except that he has a lot of people in his harem.
"What the Queen Mother does is all in vain. No matter how many newcomers are packed into the harem, they will never be the girl's opponent. There is no need for the girl to worry." Baoyu was very sure.
Qin Zhao smiled and said nothing.
What Baoyu saw was only the superficial phenomenon. There were few people in the harem, and perhaps there were fewer rights and wrongs. But as there were more and more people in the harem, there would also be more and more monsters and monsters.
"Girl, you know what you're talking about, just say less." Baozhu could see that Qin Zhao was not in a good mood.
When Baoyu saw this, he obediently shut his mouth.
She blamed herself for talking too much, so she slapped herself quietly and found an opportunity to go to the small kitchen, intending to make some delicious food for the girl to make amends.
After Baoyu left, Baozhu specially made a cup of scented tea and handed it to Qin Zhao: "Girl, there is no need to worry too much. The boat will go straight to the bridge."
"The Queen Mother Guo is so eager to fill the harem with people just because she hates me and hopes that someone new will take my place. If it doesn't work this time, then next time, the Queen Mother Guo will have countless ways to create trouble for me." Qin Zhao felt.
Queen Mother Guo's hatred of her was the root of the problem.
If this continues, even if she has the chance to go back to her previous life, there is no need to ask the truth about Queen Mother Guo's death. After all, it makes no sense.
"The girl has gone through many things since she entered the palace. I remember that there was a time when Mrs. Wu often made trouble for the girl, but the girl got away with it every time. No matter how powerful the Queen Mother is, the girl is not afraid. I have confidence in the girl." Baozhu said seriously.
Qin Zhao pursed his lips and smiled: "That's true. If there is no opponent in this harem, then it wouldn't be called a harem."
Where there are many people, there are bound to be many disputes, not to mention that in a place like the harem, where so many beauties are gathered, how can it be peaceful?
Baozhu felt relieved when he saw that Qin Zhao had thought clearly.
A few days later, Queen Mother Guo found several beauties with good life experience, appearance and talents to enter the palace.
Xiao Ce was also invited to Cihe Palace by Nianyun.
Only when he saw several young and beautiful women sitting there did Xiao Ce understand what Empress Dowager Guo had planned.
The beautiful eyes of several beauties glanced at Xiao Ce from time to time, hoping that they could win Xiao Ce's favor, but Xiao Ce sat there for about a quarter of an hour and then stood up to leave.
Seeing that Xiao Ce wanted to leave so quickly, Queen Mother Guo said coldly: "Emperor, the Ai family still has something to discuss with you!"
"I am busy with government affairs and need to go back to deal with political affairs. If anything happens in the future, my mother will ask someone to tell me. Whether I agree or not is another matter." After Xiao Ce finished speaking, he left without looking back.
Far.
Queen Mother Guo didn't expect Xiao Ce to treat her like this.
All of the people she specially selected were very capable, but Xiao Ce didn't even look at them?
Several ladies from famous families who came to Cihe Palace today saw this scene, and their hearts froze. They thought that entering the palace would not be a problem, but the emperor did not look at them, and hearing the emperor's impatient tone, it was almost impossible for them to stay in the palace.
Impossible.
In other words, today's trip was in vain.
After that, Nianyun sent away several charming guests. She turned around and saw Empress Dowager Guo sighing sadly. After offering her a cup of heart-nourishing tea, she said: "My dear, please don't be anxious. The emperor has such a temper and cannot be rushed. It's better to think of something else."
