"I know that the emperor has unusual feelings for Sister Qin, but I have always been confused about how Sister Qin feels about the emperor. Doesn't the emperor not want to know whether the emperor is in my sister's heart?" Wu Xirou seized the rare opportunity,
Say it in one breath.
Xiao Ce remained silent, as if immersed in his own thoughts.
"I have a way to test Sister Qin, so that I can save myself from the siege and prevent myself from becoming the laughing stock of the entire harem. Your Majesty will stay overnight at Zhongcui Palace tonight, and you will know how Sister Qin will react tomorrow.
"I will go to the side hall to rest later. I will leave this place for the Emperor to stay. I will retire." This time, Wu Xirou respectfully resigned without giving Xiao Ce a chance to refuse.
Xiao Ce watched Wu Xirou walk away, but finally did not stop her.
It was not to test Qin Zhao, but because he felt that staying overnight in Zhongcui Palace could temporarily silence the ministers in the court and stop his mother from talking about him.
This saves you a lot of trouble.
On the next day, the news about Xiao Ce ordering Wu Xirou to sleep with her was spreading in the harem. Everyone was saying that Wu Xirou finally stayed with her and revitalized the situation in the entire harem.
Of course, Qin Zhao also received the news, because Baoyu, a big mouth, had been talking about it early in the morning.
She was confused for a while at first, but then she felt that it seemed reasonable.
Bao Zhu found that Qin Zhao was a little depressed. She comforted Qin Zhao and said, "Didn't Bao Yu also say that there is no definite news from Tong Shi? Maybe the emperor is not favored by Xiu Rong Empress..."
Qin Zhao originally wanted to have breakfast, but she found that she was in a really bad mood.
At least after she came through her previous life, Xiao Ce didn't favor any woman other than her. Why did he become so affectionate in this life?
It makes people feel uncomfortable listening to it.
She really didn't want him to sleep with other women before and then sleep with her again. Even though he was the emperor and he needed heirs to inherit, she still couldn't accept it.
She used to think that it was normal for him to have many women when he was the emperor, but now she felt that Xiao Ce was extremely dirty.
"I'll go outside and run around twice." Qin Zhao couldn't eat anymore, so he simply ran around Jinyang Palace for several times, and didn't stop until he was tired.
Her emotions have calmed down, but she doesn't know if she will do anything to offend Xiao Ce when she goes to bed in the future. There are some things that she really can't remain indifferent to.
She hoped that Xiao Ce would not come to her recently and give her some time to mentally build up.
For the next few days, Xiao Ce stayed overnight in Zhongcui Palace.
As a result, news about Wu Xirou's ascension also spread to the harem.
Jinyang Palace became increasingly quiet. Baoyu did not dare to mention this matter again and did not go out to inquire about the news. Anyway, it was enough as long as the outside news did not reach Jinyang Palace.
After a few days of calming down, Qin Zhao became calm.
Xiao Ce now has a new love, and he shouldn't come to her again in a short time. In this case, she doesn't have to sleep with him. As long as he doesn't sleep with her for a short time, she doesn't think it's a big problem.
After figuring this out, she no longer struggled.
"Why haven't you seen Baoyu in the past two days?" Qin Zhao returned to his usual good mood and discovered this detail.
Baozhu didn't dare to tell the truth and spoke vaguely: "It seems that she is studying new recipes and has been so busy all day long that no one is around. If the girl misses her, my servant will go find her and come over to serve her."
"Let her be busy. It's enough to have you by my side. Jinyang Palace is a big place, and there are only a few of you to serve it. I'm afraid that someone will break in and do bad things, so you still have to keep a close eye on everyone." Qin Zhao said seriously.
"Don't worry, slave. Bao Yuan has been keeping a close eye on me. Don't worry, girl." Bao Zhu responded quickly.
Qin Zhao remembered that she had not been canonized, but she was already served by five people. People like her were special cases. It was quite tiring to have several people guarding such a large palace.
Fortunately, there are currently no other spoiled guests in Jinyang Palace, otherwise there would have been much trouble.
Qin Zhao turned around and headed towards the small kitchen.
Baoyu was sitting on a small table in front of the kitchen, mumbling something. When Qin Zhao saw her like this, he asked: "Baozhu said you were busy researching new dishes, but I think you seem quite leisurely."
Baoyu hurriedly stood up and asked, "What do you want to eat, girl? I will do it now."
"Didn't you say that we studied new dishes? I'll come over and take a look."
While Qin Zhao was speaking, Bao Zhu glanced at Bao Yu. Bao Yu saw this and quickly shook his head: "It hasn't been studied yet. Girl, please be patient and wait for a few more days."
"Okay, okay, you are busy with your business." Qin Zhao said and left.
Baoyu breathed a sigh of relief. Baozhu deliberately lagged behind and whispered to her: "When the girl asked you just now, I told you that you were researching new dishes. You can figure it out yourself."
After saying that, she followed Qin Zhao and walked away quickly.
But it was hard for Baoyu. In order to keep her business, she had to research a new dish.
In the Yangxin Hall, Zhang Jixiang noticed that his master was absent-minded, so he asked: "Is the Emperor tired? Do you want to go for a walk?"
Xiao Ce was actually thinking about Qin Zhao.
He had been staying at Zhongcui Palace for the past few days, and everyone said that Wu Xiurong was sleeping with him. I wonder what Qin Zhao would think.
At first, he didn't want to test Qin Zhao's reaction. He simply wanted to send away the ministers who were admonishing the court and reassure his mother.
Later, when he saw Qin Zhao didn't respond at all, he felt bad.
If Qin Zhao cares about him, based on her personality, she should come to him to make a fuss, unless she doesn't care at all, which is another story.
Xiao Ce put down his government affairs and planned to go out for a walk.
Zhang Jixiang could see that the emperor was thinking of Qin Zhao. Otherwise, it would not be such a coincidence that he would arrive in front of Jinyang Palace as soon as he left.
Xiao Ce hesitated, and Zhang Jixiang stepped forward and said, "I wonder what Miss Qin is doing. Would your Majesty want to go in and have a seat?"
Xiao Ce thought Zhang Jixiang talked too much, so he turned around and walked a few steps away, then turned back and finally stepped into Jinyang Palace.
Qin Zhao was sitting in the small garden, watering the flowers, mumbling to himself.
Xiao Ce came closer and heard Qin Zhao muttering: "These flowers are almost dead before I water them. Is it too late?"
Baozhu had already noticed Xiao Ce's arrival, but did not dare to remind Qin Zhao, so he had to stand aside as a background.
"It's okay. As long as it's not dead, there's a chance to save it. If it can't be saved, that's what it's destined to be." Qin Zhao asked and answered himself.
Xiao Ce stood for a moment and then heard Qin Zhao say: "Baozhu, do you think this flower looks a bit like our Long Live Lord?"
Baozhu quickly glanced at Xiao Ce and said, "No, it doesn't look like it, does it?"
"Why doesn't it look like it? The more I look at it, the more annoying it becomes. I wish I could kick it..."
Bao Zhu coughed hard twice, fearing that his master would say something outrageous again.
She didn't know that because Qin Zhao had good ears, she knew it as early as when Xiao Ce came in, and what he said just now was deliberately said to Xiao Ce.
