Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao's smiling face, and then at the child. He suddenly remembered that Qin Zhao was the descendant of a mysterious family, so were their children also ordinary?
He stepped forward and picked up the child. The little guy was in his arms, looking at him quietly. This scene actually made him feel a little weird, as if the child was too mature.
"Isn't Xiao Atom a little strange?" Xiao Ce murmured in a low voice.
Qin Zhao stepped forward to take a look, and said with a smile: "What's so strange about Xiao Atom? Although he is still young, he can also think about life. He is observing the emperor."
Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao and met her smiling face.
This girl is not simple, so it makes sense that their child is not simple. This is not strange.
"I just hope he can grow up safely." Xiao Ce pressed a kiss on the child's forehead, his eyes as gentle as water.
Unexpectedly, the child seemed to dislike him a little and turned his head away.
Qin Zhao was so happy when he saw this scene: "Little Atom doesn't like that the emperor is too serious."
As she spoke, she hugged the child and saw the child waving his hands, as if in response to her words.
Qin Zhao was filled with motherly love. She kissed the child hard several times on the face. Xiao Ce saw her worried look and warned her gently: "Don't kiss too hard, the child's skin is delicate."
Qin Zhao smiled: "My son is so cute, I can't help it."
After saying that, she kissed the child twice more.
Xiao Ce frowned slightly when he saw this scene. She said she couldn't help being in love with her child, but she never couldn't help being in love with him, so what she loved most was their child, not him.
"I haven't held my child for a day, so give him to me." Xiao Ce said, and forcefully snatched the little Atom from Qin Zhao's arms.
Qin Zhao felt that Xiao Ce's actions were a bit rude, maybe it was just her misunderstanding, Xiao Ce had never been a rude man.
Until dinner time, Xiao Ce still held the child and refused to let go. When Qin Zhao saw it, he said: "Your Majesty, please give the little atom to the pearl, otherwise it will be inconvenient to eat."
"It's okay." Xiao Ce said and gave Qin Zhao food, all of which were Qin Zhao's favorite dishes.
While they were eating, Nianyun suddenly came and said that Queen Mother Guo wanted to invite her.
Xiao Ce didn't answer. Qin Zhao saw this and said, "Nian Yun, are you so short-sighted? The emperor is having a meal. If you come over and ask the emperor to go to Cihe Palace at this time, won't that affect the emperor's meal?"
When Nianyun heard this, her expression changed, and she knelt down: "I know I was wrong."
Empress Dowager Guo insisted on letting her come at this hour, just to dampen Qin Zhao's interest and to resist Qin Zhao.
She was just a slave, obeying Queen Mother Guo's orders. Even if she knew it would make Qin Zhao unhappy, she still had to come over.
"I see that you are not sincere. You clearly know that this is meal time, but you chose to come here at this time. You are either stupid or bad!" How could a person like Qin Zhao not know the dirty thoughts of Queen Mother Guo?
?
Naturally, she saw through it and exposed it, but she didn't mention Queen Mother Guo by name.
Xiao Ce put down his bowls and chopsticks, and coldly opened his lips: "Step back!"
Nianyun's face was as white as snow. She did not dare to stay any longer and left Shoukang Palace in a hurry.
Qin Zhao's lips curved slightly and he put vegetables into Xiao Ce's bowl: "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. There is no need to affect your appetite for someone who doesn't matter."
Seeing that Qin Zhao's smile remained unchanged, Xiao Ce's expression softened slightly.
As long as it doesn't affect Qin Zhao's meal, everything else is fine.
The coming and going of Nianyun did not affect the appetite of the two of them. They talked and laughed as if Nianyun had never been here.
After finishing dinner, Xiao Ce had no intention of going to Cihe Palace.
That night, Nianyun told the Empress Dowager Guo about how she went to Shoukang Palace. After hearing this, the Empress Dowager Guo became confused and said in a deep voice, "It's the Qin family who is instigating the emperor behind his back again."
"Perhaps the emperor will come to Cihe Palace after dinner." Nianyun said.
Upon hearing this, Queen Mother Guo sneered: "Do you think it's possible?! The emperor seems to be possessed by ghosts. He listens to Qin's instructions in everything, and he looks more and more like a coward..."
"Empress, no!" Nianyun interrupted Empress Dowager Guo in a hurry.
It would be extremely difficult for these words to reach the emperor's ears.
Empress Dowager Guo sneered: "The Ai family will go to invite the emperor in person later. The Ai family wants to see how Qin will instigate the emperor in front of the Ai family."
Nianyun stood aside and suggested softly: "When I see the emperor later, the Queen Mother will tell you that the emperor is soft-hearted and not strong-willed. The queen must not confront the emperor head-on."
Nothing good can be gained from this.
"The Ai family knows it well." A cold smile appeared on the corners of Queen Mother Guo's lips.
She also knew how to play a trick. Isn't this how she came to be in the past? She just became the Queen Mother. She didn't want to live the life of the previous dynasty, so she no longer tried to hide it.
Now in such a situation, she naturally knew how to face Xiao Ce.
Qin Zhao heard the conversation between Queen Mother Guo and Nianyun in Shoukang Palace.
When Queen Mother Guo appeared in Shoukang Palace dragging her sick body, she was not surprised at all.
"Ace, there is something about the Ai family that I want to be honest with you about." Queen Mother Guo's voice was hoarse and her face was as pale as paper.
Coupled with the fact that no makeup was applied, the wrinkles at the corners of my eyes became obvious, making me look a bit older.
When it comes to the bitter meat scheme, Queen Mother Guo plays it like a pro.
Xiao Ce frowned slightly and his voice was slightly stiff: "What's the matter?"
"Aijia had another headache before, and Ayuan was crying. Aijia's whole body seemed to be in a fire. Suddenly he couldn't control his body, and he almost hurt Ayuan. Aijia is ashamed of you, and I'm sorry.
Child." Queen Mother Guo said, with tears faintly appearing in her eyes.
When Qin Zhao heard what Empress Dowager Guo said, he felt that Jiang was still too old.
Because she knew she couldn't hide the incident of slapping Xiao Atom, Empress Dowager Guo simply exposed herself and then acted out a bitter trick. In this way, even if Xiao Ce was dissatisfied with Empress Dowager Guo, she would feel that Empress Dowager Guo was justifiable.
Seeing Xiao Ce's condensed expression loosen, Queen Mother Guo knew that her trick of suffering the flesh was working.
Nianyun also answered the question at the right time and continued Empress Dowager Guo's cruel trick: "Since the Empress Dowager suffered from a headache, it has become increasingly serious. She especially cannot stay in a noisy environment for too long. For fear of affecting the emperor's handling of government affairs, the Empress Dowager never allows slaves to
Mention this matter to the Emperor."
"Why don't you consult an imperial doctor?" Xiao Ce asked coldly.
"The imperial doctor has looked at it. Every time after taking the medicine, the Queen Mother gets better, but she will relapse soon. Today, Your Highness suddenly cried, and the Queen Mother suddenly lost control of her emotions." Nianyun knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty
, The Queen Mother really didn’t do it on purpose. It’s all my fault that I didn’t serve the Queen Mother well, which made the Queen Mother’s condition become more and more serious.”
Xiao Ce looked coldly and ordered to Zhang Jixiang: "Go to the Imperial Hospital. Those with good medical skills will be invited to Cihe Palace. They must prescribe the right medicine to cure the Queen Mother's head disease."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Jixiang accepted the order and left.
