Baohong secretly looked at Xiao Ce's face from the side and secretly thought that His Highness really looked like the Emperor, as if he was carved from the same mold.
She marveled at the beauty of Long Live Lord for a moment, and then she remembered to pour tea and water for the Emperor.
Later, Xiao Ce took Qin Zhao to sit down, and the two talked about personal matters.
Baohong watched it clearly from the sidelines. In the past, she only heard that the emperor doted on the concubine, but now she felt that it was not just as simple as doting, the relationship between the emperor and the concubine was indeed very good.
The emperor in front of the imperial concubine is just an ordinary man, not a superior king.
During the afternoon break, Baohong said to Baoqing: "The emperor really cares about his wife."
Bao Qing nodded in agreement: "Yes, the emperor cares about the imperial concubine very much."
"I also found that His Highness looks very much like the Emperor." Baohong added enthusiastically.
Bao Qing smiled and didn't answer.
Baohong realized later that Baoqing's mood was not high. She was a little confused: "You can finally go to the main hall to serve, aren't you happy?"
"I'm happy, but I'm a little disappointed because I couldn't serve you in front of the empress." Bao Qing said with a smile: "Thanks to you, I have such an opportunity."
Baohong waved her hand: "We are all sisters, why should we be polite?"
When she and Bao Qing went to the West Wing Hall, they found Bao Lu and Bao Lan waiting for them.
Before Baohong could speak, Baolu rushed to her and asked: "Why can you two go to the main hall to serve?!"
"The Imperial Concubine said that I have passed the probation period and will be on duty in the main hall from now on, while Bao Qing is in the probation period, which lasts for seven days. As for whether I can pass the probation, it depends on Bao Qing's performance." Bao Hong answered truthfully.
Bao Lu had prepared a bunch of questions, but when Bao Hong said this, she asked, "When will it be Bao Lan and I's turn to try it out?"
"Only the imperial concubine knows this." Baohong said in her heart that she was not the roundworm in the imperial concubine's belly.
Seeing that Bao Lu and Bao Hong didn't quarrel, Bao Lan breathed a sigh of relief: "Since it's Bao Qing's turn, sooner or later it will be our turn."
She stood next to Bao Lu: "Let's go, let's go back and rest for a while."
Bao Lu's face was slightly sarcastic, and she looked at Bao Qing and said, "The two of them live in the West Wing Hall, of course facing themselves."
If she lives with Bao Hong, she might try it out before Bao Qing.
"We are all sisters. We all have opportunities. Come back." Baolan simply took action and took Baolu away by force.
Baohong looked at Baolu's back and spat softly: "With her attitude, do you still want me to put in a good word for her?"
She knows how to cause trouble for her all day long, so she will not say good things about Baolv in front of the imperial concubine.
When Bao Qing saw this, he smiled and said, "Bao Lu said something unpleasant because of impatience. You are so generous and don't argue with her. Come back and let's rest for a while."
Qin Zhao, who was in the main hall, listened to the conversation between the four treasures.
She was listening attentively, but belatedly realized that Xiao Ce was looking at her.
"what's on your mind?"
As soon as she turned her head, she met Xiao Ce's confused eyes.
Of course, Qin Zhao couldn't say that she was eavesdropping on other people's conversations. She said, seemingly truthfully: "I just occasionally think of the time when I first met the emperor. Now that I think about it, it's as unreal as a dream."
"How is it unreal?" Xiao Ce said, pushing the child into Qin Zhao's arms: "Is this true?"
Qin Zhao thought to himself that this man Xiao Ce was really not cute at all.
She pinched the child's pink face and said, "It's so real."
"Don't forget about the past. Since you have followed me, I will take care of you for the rest of your life." Xiao Ce opened his lips indifferently.
Qin Zhao blinked, inexplicably feeling that there was something in this girl's words.
She said she remembered the first time she met Xiao Ce, when she was still in the Zhao family and was also Zhao Yu's first wife.
Doesn't he suspect that she is thinking about Zhao Yu?
What was originally an unintentional remark turned out to be a hidden meaning in Xiao Ce's words?
"I don't think about the past. I am just glad that I can meet the emperor. As the emperor said, the past is in the past. The most important thing is that we have a bright future." Qin Zhao held the child and shook it.
shake.
If Xiao Ce didn't let her mention it, then she wouldn't mention it in the future, but she didn't expect that Xiao Ce could be so petty.
Xiao Ce took a nap in Jinyang Palace before leaving. When he left the dormitory, Bao Qing was already waiting outside.
Seeing Xiao Ce coming out, Bao Qing hurriedly saluted and sent him off.
It wasn't until Xiao Ce strode away that Bao Qing raised his head and looked at Xiao Ce's back.
Xiao Linzi noticed something strange about Bao Qing and coughed twice, awakening Bao Qing's thoughts.
"It's a rare visit for the emperor, why did he leave so soon?" Bao Qing asked Xiao Linzi.
Xiao Linzi replied solemnly: "The emperor is a busy man and has a lot of government affairs to deal with. When the emperor returns to Yangxin Hall, he will naturally be busy with government affairs."
"No wonder the emperor doesn't go to the harem. He doesn't have enough time to spend with the imperial concubine. Where can he find the extra time to spend with other masters?" Bao Qing understood.
Xiao Linzi just said that she was ignorant and did not continue to discuss this topic with her.
Qin Zhao in the room woke up when Xiao Ce left, and hearing the conversation between Bao Qing and Xiao Linzi made her impression of Bao Qing even more profound.
Originally she just felt that Bao Qing was quite scheming, but now she also had another unspeakable feeling.
As for what this feeling is, it still takes time to discover.
A few days passed like this, and Bao Qing found that he had no chance to serve Qin Zhao. Looking back at Bao Hong, he knew it was different.
Baohong could not only wait in front of Qin Zhao, but also be close to His Highness, while she was always waiting outside.
After a few days, even if she was waiting in the main hall, she would have few chances to see Qin Zhao.
Because she was waiting outside, she could hear the people inside talking, but she had never heard Qin Zhao mention her. What did this mean?
Is it because she is not taken seriously, or is there no shortage of people in front of Qin Zhao, so there is no room for her to perform?
When she returned to her residence that night, she couldn't help but ask Baohong: "When you first went to the main hall to serve, were you also waiting outside?"
"No." Baohong replied conservatively.
To be precise, as soon as she entered the main hall, she was served in front of the imperial concubine. In addition, the imperial concubine was a kind-hearted person, and the imperial concubine would not punish her if she did something wrong.
In the past, she always thought that the imperial concubine was a difficult person to reach, but later she found that the imperial concubine was a very nice person, she was kind to her subordinates, and she was willing to give them a chance to perform.
Even she could see that Bao Qing was not as lucky as she was, because since the first day when he went to serve in the main hall, Bao Qing had no chance to serve in front of the imperial concubine.
And she is luckier than Bao Qing.
"This is strange. I have been to the main hall for a few days, but I can only wait outside and have no chance to serve inside." Bao Qing seemed to mutter to himself: "Is it because I didn't perform well? But the empress didn't give me any advice.
