Qin Zhao didn't eat much, not because she didn't want to eat, but because she didn't want to scare the two charming guests, lest they become suspicious.
Anyway, lunch would be available soon, and she could have a full meal for herself and her children.
When Wu Xirou saw Qin Zhao finish eating, she suggested, "Shall I go out with my sister to eat?"
Qin Zhao had no objection, so accompanied by Wu Xirou and Cui Yan, she went for a walk in the corridor of Jinyang Palace.
Qin Zhao and Wu Xirou chatted from time to time, but Cui Yan couldn't get a word in. She felt like she was superfluous, and she was unwilling to let her leave like this.
She thought that Wu Xirou had the same idea as hers, that she wanted to use Qin Zhao to gain power. Otherwise, how could she lower herself and call Qin Zhao sister?
"What are Sister Qin's recent plans?" Wu Xirou suddenly asked after chatting for a while.
Qin Zhao didn't understand what Wu Xirou meant for a moment. She glanced at the fish in the pond and sprinkled some fish food: "I don't have a long-term plan."
Wu Xirou smiled: "What I mean is that sister hasn't planned to reconcile with the emperor yet? Yesterday, the emperor specifically talked to sister in the Royal Garden, but sister blocked the conversation and left the emperor with no steps to go down. Sister is a smart person.
, how can you not see that the emperor intends to shake hands with my sister and make peace?"
But I don’t know why Qin Zhao choked back, which made Xiao Ce unable to get off the stage, making the scene awkward and tense for a time.
Qin Zhao curled his lips slightly: "There is nothing to be gentle with, I live my life how I want to live, and I speak how I want to speak."
Anyway, she will be very busy in the coming days, as she has to raise a baby and undergo prenatal education.
Didn't Xiao Ce's reconciliation with her arouse the jealousy and frame-up of many women?
It would be good to maintain the status quo, or so she thought.
"Sister, aren't you afraid that the emperor will really get angry with your sister?" Wu Xirou looked at Qin Zhao helplessly.
"The Emperor is a person who does big things, how can he care about little people like us? Furthermore, the Emperor is buried in government affairs all year round and has no time to hang out. By the time the Emperor is finished, it will probably be the end of the year. I can't figure it out.
"Yes, why doesn't the emperor walk around the harem, has no interest in women, and why are there so many women jumping into the harem?" Qin Zhao spoke very quickly.
It took Cui Yan a while to realize that Qin Zhao's words might be setting her up. But this was just her speculation, and she couldn't be sure whether Qin Zhao was laughing at her.
Wu Xirou heard it, and Qin Zhao also knew why Cui Yan came to the palace. This was just for Cui Yan.
She coughed lightly and opened her lips indifferently: "Maybe it's because the Emperor is good enough that he makes so many sisters happy."
Qin Zhaoqing blinked his bright eyes: "But no matter how good the emperor is, he doesn't like women. So many concubines have to remain widows in the harem. I just can't figure out why there are still people who can't think of running away to the harem? No matter how good the emperor is, he is still a woman.
How could a person who doesn’t understand the charm be so stupid as to leave his life in the hands of a man like the emperor, knowing that he is facing a pit of fire? Or do some people think that they are good enough and special enough to stand out among the three thousand in the harem? "
What she said was intentional on the part of the speaker, and also intentional on the part of the listener, and it was heart-wrenching enough.
If Cui Yan was still skeptical before, now Cui Yan is 100% sure that the stupid person Qin Zhao is referring to is her.
She wanted to refute, but she wanted to maintain her image as a lady. Even if she knew that Qin Zhao was talking about her, she couldn't rush to agree with him.
"Sister Qin's words may make sense, but I think everyone has their own destiny. Sister Qin can just live her own life and don't care what others do?!" Cui Yan answered slowly.
She just wanted to be the emperor's cousin's queen, and she wanted to be the most noble woman in the Qi Kingdom. Qin Zhao could only stay in the harem with no name and no status, and could not even conceive a child for the emperor's cousin. There was nothing Qin Zhao could do. , aren’t other women allowed to enter the emperor’s cousin’s harem?
"I'm very busy now, how can I take care of other people? I just can't figure out why these people can't think about it." Qin Zhao said, and sprinkled some fish food into the fish pond: "I also advise these people, if they want to be in power, they can't think about it." Just try your best, but don't disturb my peace."
She needs to live a quiet life and take good care of her baby, so she has no time to become Cui Yan's stepping stone.
Cui Yan finally changed his expression this time.
I bet Qin Zhao knew what she was planning to say and that's why he said those words. Wasn't he just asking her to stop coming to Jinyang Palace?
Just when Cui Yan almost couldn't help but want to refute, Nian Su said: "Miss Qin is right. Miss Cui has admired Miss Qin for a long time, and today she came here specifically to pay homage to Miss Qin..."
"When will it be your turn to interrupt when I'm talking?!" Nian Su just spoke, and Qin Zhao came over with a mouthful.
Nian Su's expression did not change, she lowered her head and replied: "What the girl said is that I know my mistake."
She returned to Cui Yan, looking like she was wronged and didn't dare to say anything.
Cui Yan also became angry when she saw this, feeling that Qin Zhao was deliberately trying to embarrass her and Nian Su.
She opened her lips coldly: "Miss Qin is so angry! As the saying goes, the visitor is the guest. Is this how Miss Qin treats guests?"
This time, before Qin Zhao had time to speak, Nian Su knelt down and said, "It's my fault. It's my fault. Miss Cui has been out for a long time. Why don't we go back to Cihe Palace first? What does Miss Cui think?" ?”
Cui Yanzheng met Niansu's eyes, and for a moment he didn't understand why Niansu wanted to stop her.
But the Queen Mother's aunt asked Niansu to serve her, and Niansu stayed in the palace for a long time. She must have her own reasons for doing so.
Thinking of this, she went down and helped Niansu up: "Get up."
Under Nian Su's intervention, the dispute that was about to arise ended just like that.
It wasn't until Cui Yan and Nian Su walked away that Wu Xirou, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up: "Sister, don't you like Miss Cui?"
In her opinion, Qin Zhao is a very sociable person, but this time he just didn't point Cui Yan in the nose and told Cui Yan not to come to Jinyang Palace again, which was not like Qin Zhao's temperament.
"It doesn't matter whether I like it or not. I don't need to live with Miss Cui. She can't affect my life." Qin Zhao said softly.
She just doesn't want Cui Yan to come over all the time to increase her presence. It's easy to deal with Wu Xirou, because Wu Xirou has a certain degree of advance and retreat, so she won't bore her.
But Cui Yan is not so easy to get rid of. Cui Yan is also very ambitious. She is afraid that Cui Yan is a swindler and cannot get rid of the plaster. She is even more worried that Cui Yan will affect her pregnancy.
So she couldn't wait to hope that Cui Yan would stay away from her and not disturb her peace.
After Cui Yan left Jinyang Palace, he slowed down and asked Nian Su, "Why did you stop me from attacking?"
Nian Su had told her to be patient with his eyes before, so she complied with Nian Su's wishes and did not quarrel with Qin Zhao in Jinyang Palace.
