Baozhu said with shame: "What the empress said is that I am indeed too optimistic."
Of course she hopes that the young highness and the concubine will be safe and happy, but many concubines in the harem don't think so. As long as the concubine and the young highness are well, others who want to rise to the top will have little chance.
If in the end everyone can only wait until old age and death in the harem, will some masters who are unwilling to be lonely give it a try?
The answer is yes.
Just because the imperial concubine stood in the most conspicuous place in the entire harem, the imperial concubine and the young highness were the targets of many people. The empress was in the light, and the enemy was in the dark. Because her life was too comfortable, she unknowingly relaxed her vigilance.
,this is not right.
"These leisurely days are passing by day by day, and I don't know when a bloody storm will strike. I can't be careless and underestimate the enemy." Qin Zhao looked at the sleeping child with a serious expression: "I was the only one in the past, without any ties.
It’s nothing to worry about. If I leave the palace one day, I will have nothing to worry about except the emperor. Now that I have a little baby, since I gave birth to him, of course I have to protect him and see that he is safe and healthy.
Kang grew up."
Baozhu nodded vigorously: "Of course your Majesty can protect your Highness."
"It's been three months, and I'm still not sure whether the eight new people can be reused or whether there are any connections between them from other palaces." At this point, Qin Zhao raised his voice and said, "Xiao Linzi, come in."
Xiao Linzi quickly entered: "What are your orders?"
"It's been three months since Xiao Lizi and the others entered Jinyang Palace. Do you think they can be trusted?" Qin Zhao asked.
Xiao Linzi pondered for a moment and then said: "I don't dare to make a conclusion easily."
The four new people who came in were indeed capable of doing things, and among them, Xiao Lizi was the shrewdest, but he was not sure whether they could be trusted.
"Your cautious attitude is good, and you will observe them carefully in the future. I am not in a hurry to hire people at the moment, so you can take your time." Qin Zhao said lightly.
Xiao Linzi respectfully responded.
While their master and servant were talking, Qin Zhao heard Wu Xirou's footsteps approaching.
"Xiao Linzi, you go down and do your work. It's enough for me to have the vase and the orb in front of me." Qin Zhao dismissed Xiao Linzi.
Not long after, Wu Xirou came to the main hall.
Today is Xiao Atom's 100-day banquet. Of course, Qin Zhao will not leave Wu Xirou behind. Early this morning, he asked Baoqing Zhongcuigong to invite Wu Xirou, but Wu Xirou did not show up.
Wu Xirou chose to come here at this time, so she didn't miss the good day of Little Atom's 100-day banquet.
After receiving the gift, Wu Xirou presented the gift she had prepared: "I didn't know what to give, so I ordered the craftsmen to make this longevity lock. I hope my sister won't dislike it."
Qin Zhao stepped forward and took the longevity lock, and saw interesting patterns engraved on it, which was really cute.
"This thing is good, I like it very much, and Xiao Atom must also like it." Qin Zhao said with a smile: "I thought my sister wouldn't come today."
"I wanted to come here in the morning, but there were a lot of people, and my sister is lazy and tired of dealing with so many people, so I chose this time to come. At this time, my sister got up after taking a nap, and she felt better after taking a rest.
, I will come and take care of things." Wu Xirou said slowly.
Qin Zhao was deeply moved: "My sister is thoughtful, considerate, and has such a good temper. I really like her."
She suddenly remembered that Wu Xirou died young in her previous life, but Xiao Ce in this life frequently dreamed of Wu Xirou, which showed that Wu Xirou was a special existence in Xiao Ce's heart.
I wonder if there was a lingering emotional entanglement between Wu Xirou and Xiao Ce.
Thinking of this possibility, she felt unhappy.
In the past, she felt that she had given up her obsession with Xiao Ce in her previous life, thinking that she could watch Xiao Ce's emotional affairs from the perspective of a bystander.
But now she is sure that her feelings for Xiao Ce are not just kindness, but also love between men and women, so she naturally does not want Xiao Ce to have other women in his heart.
In her opinion, love should be a one-on-one relationship. If there are one or two more people, the relationship will no longer be pure. This is why she cared so much about Xiao Ce's harem of three thousand people in her previous life, and why she liked to be jealous so much.
Just because she can't tolerate a grain of sand in her eyes, she doesn't want extraneous people to get involved in her emotional world.
"Sister, you are too complimentary. I just had some free time, so I ordered someone to order such a gadget. I hope my sister doesn't mind it." Wu Xirou looked at the sleeping child and sighed at how handsome the child was: "Little Atom is becoming more and more like an emperor.
Woolen cloth."
"Little Atom does look like the emperor." Qin Zhao looked at the child with gentle eyes.
To be precise, he looks exactly like the child in his previous life.
Wu Xirou envied Qin Zhao from the bottom of her heart. How great would it be if she could give birth to a child for Xiao Ce that looked exactly like Xiao Ce?
It's just that since she entered the palace, she hasn't had the opportunity to sleep with him, so this idea will probably come to nothing.
Qin Zhao saw Wu Xirou's gloomy eyebrows with sharp eyes, and immediately guessed what Wu Xirou was thinking.
The happier she is, the more miserable Wu Xirou and Zhao appear.
She was the most favored among all the concubines in the harem, while the others in the harem, including Wu Xirou, did not even have the chance to meet the saint. How could other people feel better after such a comparison?
After thinking about this, Qin Zhao immediately changed the topic.
Wu Xirou quickly returned to normal and sat in Jinyang Palace for half an hour before getting up and leaving.
After sending Wu Xirou away, Qin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.
Sometimes she would have the illusion that Wu Xirou was a creditor, and she was collecting debts from her every time she came over, because she took away the heroine role that Wu Xirou should have had. It was really a strange and speechless illusion.
"If the empress doesn't like to deal with the virtuous concubine, then she won't be able to do it." Baozhu observed Qin Zhao's emotional changes.
Qin Zhao rolled his eyes at her: "I invited her to attend the Hundred Days Banquet. How could there be any reason to refuse her?"
"But this slave girl feels that every time she faces Concubine Xian, she seems very tired." Bao Zhu said, but it's not possible that this is all her imagination.
Qin Zhao shook his head and denied: "It's not tiring to get along with Concubine Xian, but...it's just that you don't understand even if I tell you, let's not talk about her."
The grudge between her and Wu Xirou can only be resolved by themselves.
She felt that she had indeed taken away the halo of the heroine that should have belonged to Wu Xirou. From the moment she met Xiao Ce, her life seemed to be on the hook. First she lived in the East Palace as a cousin, and then she made a leap
She became the crown prince Liangdi, then entered Xiao Ce's harem, and then gave birth to a little prince. Now she is a noble concubine.
Such a life encounter only happened in a few short years. How many people in the world can do it like her?
Not to mention that others were jealous of her, she herself felt that God favored her too much.
