After taking a bite, Wu Xirou was full of praise: "The desserts made by Baoyu are not too sweet and not greasy. They melt in your mouth and taste great."
"Our family Baoyu is really ingenious." Qin Zhao also took a bite. She knew that this was a dessert specially made for her by Baoyu, and she only researched it this morning.
Wu Xirou tasted the new dessert immediately, and she was very happy.
Wu Xirou sat in Jinyang Palace for half an hour and then left as usual.
Except for Wu Xirou, no one else would be as perseverant as her. She would come to Qin Zhao every day regardless of the weather.
In addition, Xiao Ce has not stayed in Jinyang Palace for a long time. This is the longest time that Xiao Ce has ignored Qin Zhao since Qin Zhao entered the palace. This phenomenon made everyone think that Qin Zhao would never have a chance to turn around this time.
Of course, there were exceptions. Zuo Zhaorong, as a friend of Qin Zhao, still came to Jinyang Palace from time to time to chat with Qin Zhao.
Not long after Wu Xirou left that day, Zuo Zhaorong came.
As soon as they sat down, Zuo Zhaorong started chatting: "Sister Wu is very perseverant. She comes to say hello to her every day."
"Did you meet Sister Wu just now?" Qin Zhao asked with a smile.
Zuo Zhaorong took a sip of tea before saying: "I also chatted with Sister Wu for a while. By the way, Sister Wu also said that my sister didn't look well yesterday, but she is fine today. I also heard that the emperor came to Jinyang the day before yesterday.
Palace, if it’s not the emperor who said something to make my sister unhappy?”
Qin Zhao laughed dumbly: "I didn't expect that my sister is also a gossip."
Wu Xirou was even more arrogant, telling Zuo Zhaorong about her unwellness so quickly.
"I care about my sister. My sister is feeling unwell, so why didn't she ask the imperial doctor to come and see her? Even if the emperor did something wrong, my sister should not have trouble with her own health." Zuo Zhaorong looked at Qin Zhao worriedly: "Is my sister okay now?
good?"
Qin Zhao put his face in front of Zuo Zhaorong and asked, "Look at my rosy face, doesn't it look bad?"
Zuo Zhaorong looked at it carefully and said, "Sister looks pretty good."
Moreover, Qin Zhao seemed to be a little lucky. She had not seen Qin Zhao for more than ten days, and even after not seeing him for some days, she discovered that Qin Zhao had become fatter.
"That's it. I didn't get a good rest yesterday and looked a little haggard. Sister Wu thought I was sick and was speechless." Qin Zhao complained.
Zuo Zhaorong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "It's fine that my sister is fine. I thought it was the emperor who said something that hurt my sister's heart and made her sad and frustrated."
"The emperor is a person who does important things. He is usually too busy with government affairs. How can he have time to trouble me? I know that many people are watching the movements of Jinyang Palace, but to be honest, the emperor has not been in Jinyang for a long time.
I spent the night in the palace? How could I still be a threat to the sisters?" Qin Zhao couldn't help complaining: "Instead of always staring at Jinyang Palace, it's better for me to work harder, show my face in front of the emperor more, and strive for the opportunity to sleep with him.
, said my sister, right?"
"My sister's words certainly make sense. Maybe it's because the emperor usually doesn't move around the harem, and the sisters can't enter the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, so everyone puts the blame on my sister. This is the so-called crime of wanting to inflict it. It's also because my sister is generous,
I don’t care about other sisters." Zuo Zhaorong agreed.
Her words obviously suited Qin Zhao's wishes, and the smile on Qin Zhao's face widened: "My sister can see clearly. I am also quite innocent. The emperor has not stayed in Jinyang Palace for a long time, and I have not tied the emperor's footsteps.
Then why didn’t the other sisters try to climb the dragon bed during this period?”
Zuo Zhaorong laughed and agreed with Qin Zhao's point of view: "Yes, this can only be blamed on the sisters' incompetence. But everyone still thinks that it is the elder sister who has captured the emperor's heart, and never looks for the reason in themselves."
This topic gave Qin Zhao a lot of say. She talked a lot and felt that she was innocent and a victim.
Zuo Zhaorong listened attentively and added a few words from time to time.
Finally, Zuo Zhaorong had lunch at Jinyang Palace. Knowing that Qin Zhao had the habit of taking a nap, she left Jinyang Palace after lunch.
Qin Zhao ate and drank enough, and deliberately ate his food before going to take a nap.
In this way, Qin Zhao stayed at home every day, not even leaving Jinyang Palace, and December arrived in the blink of an eye.
Because it had just snowed, it was so cold that Qin Zhao didn't want to leave the palace to move around. It was just because the house was warm because of the burning earth dragon, but it was so cold outside that she didn't want to move.
It was Bao Zhu who persuaded her to go out for some fresh air occasionally, so she reluctantly walked around in Jinyang Palace.
Because it had just snowed and the road was slippery, Bao Zhu carefully helped her walk, fearing that something would happen to her.
She was breathing fresh air, but when she heard familiar footsteps approaching, she immediately said to Baozhu: "Go back to the room, it's too cold outside."
"The girl just came out." Bao Zhu whispered.
Qin Zhao glared at Baozhu, who had no choice but to help her back to the room.
Not long after, Xiao Ce entered, bringing with him a chill.
Qin Zhao lazily leaned on the Grand Master's chair, holding a storybook in her hand. She didn't bother to get up when she saw Xiao Ce, "Why is the emperor here?"
Xiao Ce saw Qin Zhao's lazy look, looked up and down carefully, and then said the truth: "You seem to be strong again."
Qin Zhao's eyebrows jumped slightly when he heard the word "strong".
So Xiao Ce doesn't have any other skills, but he knows how to make her unhappy. It doesn't matter, she has a lot of adults and doesn't care about Xiao Ce.
She glanced at Baozhu, who was staring blankly at the side, and reminded: "Baozhu, the emperor is here, and you don't know how to serve him a cup of tea?"
"Yes!" Baozhu walked away quickly.
Soon she came back with a pot of tea. After making the tea, she immediately stood back to Qin Zhao to wait on him.
Xiao Ce saw this small detail and took another look at Baozhu. Why did he think Baozhu looked nervous? He looked scary. Would he do anything detrimental to Qin Zhao?
He was confused and his eyes quickly returned to Qin Zhao.
However, after not seeing each other for more than ten days, she did feel a little happier again. Her whole body was white and tender, like a glutinous rice dumpling, and she seemed to look a little smaller.
Even though she is fatter, it adds some joy and makes people want to look at her more.
Qin Zhao pretended not to know that Xiao Ce was sizing her up. Anyway, she made up her mind that no matter what he said, she would not get emotional and put the safety of the fetus first in everything.
She was reading a storybook, and Xiao Ce was sitting aside drinking tea, not disturbing anyone.
Seeing this, Qin Zhao couldn't help but have a fit, so he had to wait until Xiao Ce had had enough and left by himself.
What she fears most is that Xiao Ce suddenly asks her to sleep with him again, which would be too troublesome.
When it was time for lunch, Xiao Ce did not leave. Baoyu prepared the meal and brought it to him.
When Xiao Ce saw that there were nine dishes in the lunch, he frowned slightly: "You eat so many dishes by yourself?"
In the past, she would not be so extravagant and wasteful. A five-course meal was considered too much. How could she become like this now?
