After returning to Cihe Palace, Queen Mother Guo suddenly looked coldly at Nian Su. Nian Su immediately fell to her knees and said, "I am incompetent, please forgive me, Queen Mother."
So Empress Dowager Guo still listened to what Qin Zhao said before. Qin Zhao wanted her not to be favored by Empress Dowager Guo again in the future.
In terms of scheming, Qin Zhao is not just a little more powerful than his previous life.
"Are you incompetent?!" Queen Mother Guo sneered: "You are much more useful than the Ai family imagined."
She had always disliked Nian Su, but unknowingly, she actually expected Nian Su to help her. If Qin Zhao hadn't reminded her, she wouldn't have discovered this detail.
As Qin Zhao said, Nian Su is a capable person.
"The Queen Mother is serious. I usually don't serve you in front of the Queen Mother. Today is the first time in half a month that I serve you in front of the Queen Mother. As for what Miss Qin said, it is nothing more than an attempt to stir up trouble. I ask the Queen Mother to warn you."
Su said in a low voice.
Queen Mother Guo looked at Nian Su deeply for a while, then said: "Step back, I don't need you to serve the Ai family."
Nian Su breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, I will leave."
She stood up and retreated, thankful that she had escaped disaster.
As for Qin Zhao's "kindness" to her, she will keep it in her heart and "repay" it to Qin Zhao one day.
Let’s go back to Jinyang Palace.
Qin Zhao drove away Empress Dowager Guo as he wished, and said with a smile to Xiao Ce: "Fortunately, the emperor came in time, otherwise Nian Su would have entered Jinyang Palace. I am extremely scared of Nian Su."
"Is there anyone in this world that you are afraid of?" Xiao Ce only said that she was joking.
"I'm just kidding, there are too many people I'm afraid of. The Queen Mother is one, Nian Su is one, and the Emperor is one too." Qin Zhao said with a hint of truth.
When Xiao Ce saw Qin Zhao mentioning him, he turned his eyes and said, "Are you afraid of me?"
He never felt that Qin Zhao was afraid of him.
"Of course, I'm afraid that the emperor will be angry." Qin Zhao replied, holding back a smile.
Xiao Ce's hand itched, and he hit her on the head with a sudden burst of chestnut.
Qin Zhao just thought he was tickling and walked away with a smile.
Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao's back and wondered how he could be close to her.
He followed Qin Zhao slowly and asked casually, "Zhao Zhao, are you in a good mood?"
Qin Zhao turned back to look at Xiao Ce: "Very good, why did the emperor suddenly ask this?"
Xiao Ce thought about it and asked, "Then when will you reconcile with me?"
Qin Zhao finally managed not to laugh. She thought for a while and then said seriously: "The emperor's patience is extremely short. The emperor just met me last night and just talked to me today. Now the emperor is asking me
When will we be able to reconcile as before? Your Majesty, have you heard that love lasts for a long time? I think of the time when I met the Emperor, but it took me several months to get together with him."
Xiao Ce frowned when he heard this: "You mean it will take a few months to reconcile with me?"
"Maybe, anyway, it can't be done now. If the emperor doesn't even have this patience, then the emperor should leave as soon as possible." Qin Zhao squinted at Xiao Ce to see how Xiao Ce would react.
"I have patience. If I can't wait for a few months, I will come to Jinyang Palace every day from now on." Xiao Ce thinks this is not a problem.
He has never been an impatient person, especially towards Qin Zhao, he is more patient. As long as she no longer rejects him, she will drive him away as soon as she sees him.
"I just like the emperor's temperament." Qin Zhao smiled.
By the time she was five months pregnant, if Xiao Ce saw her every day and still couldn't tell that there was something in her belly, then she would have nothing to say.
After that, Qin Zhao took a military book to read. At first Xiao Ce thought that Qin Zhao was pretending, but now he felt that this girl was seriously reading the military book.
It was as if she was reading to someone.
"Are you reciting for me?" Xiao Ce asked doubtfully.
Qin Zhao took the time to look at Xiao Ce: "Maybe, maybe..."
Although it is not for Xiao Ce's recitation, it is also for his children's prenatal education, which has a similar meaning.
Xiao Ce was in a good mood when he got her answer: "There is a reward!"
Qin Zhaopi replied with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."
Xiao Ce didn't leave Jinyang Palace until after lunch, just because he knew Qin Zhao had the habit of taking a nap. Before leaving, he gave Qin Zhao a meaningful look: "Although I know you like delicious food, you have to pay a little attention."
It wasn't until Xiao Ce walked away that Qin Zhao realized that Xiao Ce was roundabout saying she was fat.
"Don't be upset, girl. I don't know how happy the emperor will be when he finds out that girl is pregnant." Bao Zhu was afraid that Qin Zhao would be angry, so he hurriedly comforted her.
Qin Zhao disagreed: "With the look in His Majesty's eyes, he will definitely not find out that I am pregnant for a while."
Bao Zhu smiled, feeling that this possibility was extremely high.
"By the way, let Baoyuan watch the door tightly. Except for the emperor and those big shots who can't stop him, everyone else will stay out." Qin Zhao brought up business.
"I know, my slave. Let's sleep for a while, girl." Baozhu stepped forward and undressed Qin Zhao.
After taking off his coat, Qin Zhao's belly was exposed.
It's just that the belly is not too obvious at more than four months old, but it will become more and more obvious when it is five months old. At that time, when you put on spring clothes, you can't hide it even if you want to.
That day, when Xiao Ce returned to the Yangxin Hall, he saw a familiar face appearing in front of him, it was Ako.
If Xiao Ce hadn't seen A'Kou today, he would have almost forgotten that there was such a person in Yangxin Hall.
After Qiu Shui's training, Ako learned the rules well.
She stepped forward and saluted Xiao Ce in a decent manner.
After the ceremony, she stepped aside without any violation of the rules.
Xiao Ce took another look at A'Kuo and then left for Xinuang Pavilion.
Zhang Jixiang saw that Xiao Ce had something on his mind, so he stepped forward and asked, "If the emperor has anything to do, just tell me, and I will take care of it as soon as possible."
"Ako should not stay in the Yangxin Hall. Zhao Zhao will not be happy if he sees Ako." Xiao Ce opened his lips indifferently.
"This... should I send him away?" Zhang Jixiang was not sure whether this was his master's idea.
"But you can't send him to Cihe Palace. Cihe Palace found him. If you send him back to Cihe Palace, Ako might even lose his life." Xiao Ce felt that the incident was caused by him, and he couldn't let Ako die.
It's unclear.
After all, Ako entered the palace in a daze, and she was innocent.
"It is indeed a bit tricky. Otherwise, let me handle this matter and make arrangements for it." Zhang Jixiang responded.
"Go." Xiao Ce waved his hand.
Not long after, Zhang Jixiang arranged for A Kou to go to the Siyi Department to work as a secretary, and told Cheng Yi not to embarrass A Kou.
Ako didn't understand why she entered the Siyi Department, but after entering the palace and learning the rules, she knew that there were many things in the harem that did not require a reason.
As a palace maid, she has no right to control her own destiny, and becoming a Si Yi is also beyond her control.
All she can do is to do her job well and not let others find her faults, so that she can stay in the harem safely and for a long time.
