After Zhang Jixiang left, Chengyi looked at Akko with strange eyes for a long time, making Akko not understand where he went wrong.
Fortunately, Chengyi didn't make things difficult for her, he just told her some things and walked away.
The fact that Ako was sent to Siyisi naturally reached the ears of Queen Mother Guo, who sneered and said: "After entering the Yangxin Hall and being sent to Siyisi, this shows that Ako did not play his due role.
."
It also shows that the chess piece Ako is useless.
Since it is a useless chess piece, what is the use of keeping it?
"Do you mean to abolish her?" Nianyun asked in a low voice.
"Let her fend for herself. The emperor did not send her back to Cihe Palace. His intention was very clear. He did not want the Ai family to execute Ako. If the Ai family touches Ako, the emperor will not be happy. He will keep Ako first and wait until later.
Let’s talk about it later.” Empress Dowager Guo glanced at Nian Yun.
Nianyun immediately understood what Empress Dowager Guo meant. She put the matter on hold for the time being, even if it had to be dealt with, there was no rush.
After Ako was sent to the Si Yi Department, Xiao Linzi immediately told Bao Yuan the news.
Bao Yuan naturally told Bao Yu, who was very happy to hear it. The matter was handled without disturbing the girl, and A Kou also left the Yangxin Hall, which showed that the conspiracy between Queen Mother Guo and Nian Su did not succeed.
She thought it was being kept strictly hidden, but Qin Zhao had actually heard what Xiao Linzi said a long time ago and also knew that Ako was sent to the Siyi Department.
This seems like something Xiao Ce would do.
It was just because she didn't know how much Ako looked like her that Xiao Ce sent him away specially. If there was a chance, she would like to meet Ako for a while.
Qin Zhao quickly let go of the matter. As far as she was concerned, as long as no one disturbed her during pregnancy, it didn't matter to her if ten more people looked like her.
Are there any identical people in the world? Only Nian Su and Queen Mother Guo could think of finding a substitute.
About half a month passed like this, and Xiao Ce would go to Jinyang Palace every day. In addition to Jinyang Palace, there was also the Yangxin Palace. Xiao Ce's life was so simple that even Qin Zhao couldn't help but complain.
"There are so many places in the harem, why won't the emperor go to other places for a walk?" Qin Zhao couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Ce was staring at Qin Zhao's belly, and he found that the girl's belly seemed to have grown fat.
Qin Zhao followed Xiao Ce's gaze and looked at his belly, holding back a smile and asked: "Is my belly so beautiful?"
Only then did Xiao Ce come back to his senses. He coughed lightly and said, "You should eat less on weekdays."
This is for her good figure.
Although he doesn't think she is fat, but how fat will she become if she continues like this?
"You can't live up to the beautiful scenery and delicious food. Haven't you heard of this saying, Your Majesty?" Qin Zhao snorted: "It's impossible for me to eat less."
Xiao Ce took another look at Qin Zhao's belly and said, "As long as you like it."
She doesn't care, and neither does he, so there's no need to wrong her.
When Xiao Ce left Jinyang Palace, Zhang Jixiang also said: "Miss Qin has become fat again recently."
Xiao Ce looked at Zhang Jixiang coldly: "Is there any?!"
Zhang Jixiang's heart trembled, and he immediately changed his words: "No, it was my servant who made a mistake. Your Majesty, please don't argue with me like a servant."
The emperor had obviously said that Miss Qin was fat before, so why did he displease the emperor just by telling the truth?
After that, Xiao Ce and Zhang Jixiang gradually moved away, and Qin Zhao could no longer hear the conversation between the two masters and servants.
"What do you know, girl?" Bao Zhu asked curiously when he saw Qin Zhao suddenly laughing.
Qin Zhao managed to hold back his smile: "I think neither the emperor nor Zhang Jixiang are very smart."
Going to and from Jinyang Palace every day, the two masters and servants did not find that the reason for the fat in her belly was that she was pregnant.
Baozhu instantly understood that what Qin Zhao was talking about was that the master and servant did not find out that the girl was pregnant. "Maybe the emperor thought that it was impossible for the girl to be pregnant, so he didn't think about it."
Qin Zhao felt it made sense: "This is a typical preconception."
Another interesting thing is that Wu Xirou came to Jinyang Palace despite the rain and wanted to see Qin Zhao, but was stopped by Bao Yuan.
Wu Xirou didn't force it, knowing that Qin Zhao hadn't seen her plan yet, so she went back home.
In February, Wu Xirou still came to Jinyang Palace every day, but never entered.
There is another thing Wu Xirou did that made Qin Zhao very satisfied.
If Wu Xirou was willing, there was a high probability that she could create a chance encounter with Xiao Ce and then enter Jinyang Palace with Xiao Ce, but Wu Xirou did not take advantage of such an opportunity.
Because of this, Qin Zhao could see that Wu Xirou really respected her ideas.
Otherwise, Wu Xirou could have entered Jinyang Palace with Xiao Ce and discovered that she was pregnant.
By mid-February, Qin Zhao was five months pregnant, and her belly was becoming more and more obvious.
Xiao Ce came over to see Qin Zhao in the afternoon. It happened that Qin Zhao's clothes were not as thick as before, and his slightly protruding belly was exposed when he raised his hands and feet.
He stared at it for a while, feeling a little troubled and wondering why Qin Zhao suddenly didn't care about his body shape at all.
Qin Zhao took the music score and planned to play a piece for her baby, perhaps taking the opportunity to cultivate her child's artistic abilities.
She knew that Xiao Ce was sizing her up, but to be honest, she didn't expect that Xiao Ce would be so slow. A month had passed and he still hadn't discovered that she was pregnant.
Xiao Ce sat aside and read a book. He saw that he had never heard the music played by Qin Zhao, and he couldn't help but be curious: "What music are you playing?"
Qin Zhao replied insincerely: "You are playing blindly. Your Majesty can just listen to it."
Anyway, it’s a fetal retrieval song, so of course Xiao Ce won’t understand it.
After a while, Xiao Ce asked again: "Don't you find it boring?"
In the past month, he found that every time he came over, she would read story books, read military books, and sometimes mutter something to herself that he didn't understand.
She used to run in the morning, but now she occasionally goes out for a walk, but most of the time she sits or lies down, so it's strange that she doesn't gain weight.
"No, I think playing the piano and reading can cultivate one's temperament. Doesn't the Emperor think that my quiet appearance is particularly charming?" Qin Zhao asked with a half-smile.
Xiao Ce:......
Just when Xiao Ce was speechless, Zhang Jixiang came inside and sent a message: "Your Majesty, the Princess Yongchun is here."
"Let her in." Xiao Ce raised his lips and said.
Soon Princess Yongchun entered. She greeted Xiao Ce and said, "No wonder they say that the emperor runs to Jinyang Palace all day long. I saw the emperor as soon as I came here today. It's really true!"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Qin Zhao, who happened to stand up to greet him. When she saw Qin Zhao's slightly protruding belly, she was startled and said: "Qin Zhao, why is your belly so big? People who don't know think you are pregnant.
Woolen cloth."
Qin Zhao:......
Xiao Ce frowned when he heard this: "What nonsense are you talking about?!"
He also looked at Qin Zhao nervously, fearing that Qin Zhao would not be happy when he heard this.
They all knew the fact that Qin Zhao could not conceive, and they had not slept together for a long time. If so, where did the child come from?
