"Don't worry, I'm fine, I've figured it out." Xiao Ce held Qin Zhao's hand, his eyes as gentle as water: "No matter how bad my mother is, her blood is still flowing in my body, and I will let my mother enjoy it in peace."
old age."
Even though Queen Mother Guo had a lot of people's blood on her hands, she still couldn't do anything to her biological mother.
Furthermore, Empress Dowager Guo's body was damaged and she didn't know how long she could survive.
"I support all the emperor's decisions." Qin Zhao held Xiao Ce's hand instead.
She knew that Xiao Ce was a protector of shortcomings. She knew that the Queen Mother Guo had harmed so many people, but she was still willing to tolerate the Queen Mother Guo. Regardless of whether Xiao Ce was affectionate or foolish and filial, after all, he could not be sorry to everyone in the world, and he would not be wrong to others.
Who can say that Xiao Ce's biological mother is not hers?
The atmosphere was a bit heavy for a while, and the little Atom, who had been left out in the cold, chattered a long string of words.
Xiao Ce didn't understand, and Qin Zhao didn't understand either.
"My concubine said that little Atom has grown up and wants to learn to speak, right?" Qin Zhao looked at the child with a faint smile in his eyes.
Xiao Cexin said that it is a bit scary for a child under five months old to learn to speak. It's just that no matter how precocious his child is, the world doesn't dare to say anything.
"This shows that the little boy is wise at an early age. I don't know whether the child will learn to call me or you first." Xiao Ce was yearning for it.
"No matter who you call first, I will be happy." Qin Zhao took the child and said: "Little Atom, you should learn to call me mother first? Come on, call me mother..."
Little Atom danced with excitement, and shouted a few words "Good... Good".
This made Qin Zhao very amused, and he devoted all his attention to teaching Xiao Atom how to learn tongue.
Xiao Ce watched intently from the sidelines, and later helped correct Xiao Atom's accent. The two worked for two hours, but in the end they were unable to correct Xiao Atom's pronunciation.
"Haste makes waste. It's just the first day that little Atom calls me. It's already good to have learned like this." Before Qin Zhao could finish consoling himself, he saw Little Atom shouting "Dad" to Xiao Ce.
This time Xiao Atom's articulation was very clear and there was no mistake.
Qin Zhao was dumbfounded for a moment, and Xiao Ce was also dumbfounded.
The two of them looked at each other, and in the end it was Qin Zhao who reacted first, and said with an uneasy feeling in his heart: "It seems that the emperor is still the one Xiao Atom likes the most."
Even though she and Xiao Atom were together day and night, the child actually learned to call him "Dad" first instead of her as his mother. This was really a different treatment.
Xiao Ce suppressed a smile: "It was just a coincidence. Of course, what Xiao Atom values most is you, my mother-in-law. You don't have to hate me."
"How can I, my concubine, be jealous of the emperor?" Qin Zhao glared at Xiao Ce and snatched the little atom away, intending to make up for the child's homework and correct the pronunciation of the word "mother" as soon as possible.
Seeing Qin Zhao's childish actions, Xiao Ce couldn't hold it back this time and smiled with his eyebrows curled up.
That night, Qin Zhao ignored Xiao Ce and corrected Xiao Atom's pronunciation whenever he had time. Later, he thought Xiao Ce was an eyesore and drove Xiao Ce away.
But she worked all night, but the child's pronunciation was still not corrected. Later, the child got tired of imitating the pronunciation and stopped paying attention to her.
"This eccentric guy!" Qin Zhao got angry and thrust the child into Baozhu's hand: "Take him to sleep tonight!"
"Okay!" Baozhu asked for it.
Qin Zhao saw the smile on Baozhu's face, and she snatched the child back: "Forget it, I will teach him before going to bed. I have to correct his accent after all. Don't give up halfway."
That night, Qin Zhao was busy for a long time. Later, Xiao Atom stopped learning pronunciation and went to sleep by himself.
Seeing the child's heartless look, Qin Zhao secretly thought, does the child have a temperament like hers? If so, it would be a good thing.
But many times, children don't laugh or make trouble, and their temperament is like Xiao Ce's.
When Qin Zhao went to bed at night, she was still thinking about letting the child learn to call her mother, so she woke up early the next morning. The first thing she did when she woke up was to wake up the child too.
I felt very distressed: "Your Highness is sleepy, can you please let your Highness sleep a little longer? There is no rush in learning to speak."
Seeing Xiao Atom's sleepy look, Qin Zhao also felt a little soft-hearted: "Son, you can sleep a little longer and I won't disturb you anymore."
The little atom soon fell asleep again.
Baozhu on the side joked softly: "Is your Majesty jealous of the Emperor?"
Obviously, the Emperor does not spend half as much time with His Highness as His Majesty, but His Highness is still called the Emperor first. No wonder the Empress is mentally unbalanced.
"Why am I jealous of the emperor?" Qin Zhao said, and then added: "If the emperor is happy, I should be happy too."
Forget it, Xiao Atom first learns to call Xiao Ce. This will give Xiao Ce the satisfaction of being a father. It is obviously a good thing, so why should she be so petty?
With this thought, she felt at ease and no longer bothered about this trivial matter.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiaotong woke up from his sleep, he called her "Mother". This time he pronounced the words clearly, and she was very happy after hearing this.
Seeing Qin Zhao smiling from ear to ear, Baozhu felt speechless.
She had never thought that her master could be so childish at times, and she did not look like a powerful concubine at all.
Little Atom suddenly became able to call people, which really made Qin Zhaoshi, the mother-in-law, happy for a long time.
Later, it was Baolu who reminded her that Baolan had not yet been tried out. Among the new four treasures, Baoqing was eliminated and sent out of Jinyang Palace, while Baohong and Baolu both passed the probation period, leaving only Baolan who had not yet arrived at Qin Zhao
Serve at hand.
Qin Zhao felt that this was indeed a big deal, and she suspected that someone from other palaces had sneaked into Jinyang Palace.
To find out this detail, you have to give these people a chance to express themselves.
Now she is sure that Sapphire Red and Sapphire Green can be trusted. In other words, if there is a real secret, it will be among the four chamberlains and Sapphire Blue.
Only by giving them a chance to show off their skills can they reveal their flaws.
"Baohong, go and bring Baolan and Xiao Ruizi to me." Qin Zhao gave an order.
Baohong left in response, knowing in her heart that the imperial concubine wanted to give Baolan and Xiao Ruizi the opportunity to serve in front of her.
Soon Baolan arrived, as calm and capable as ever, while Xiao Ruizi looked smart and lovable.
They all saluted Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao carefully observed their behavior and found that there was nothing wrong with Baolan's court etiquette, while Xiao Ruizi seemed to have ADHD and could not stop for a moment.
In terms of rules, there is a certain gap between Xiao Ruizi and Bao Lan.
"Today the probation period for you two begins, which lasts for seven days. Whether you can pass the probation depends on your performance." Qin Zhao spoke after carefully looking at the two of them.
"Yes, empress." Baolan and Xiao Ruizi said in unison.
Qin Zhao then asked Bao Lan to wait in front of him, while Xiao Ruizi waited outside with Bao Lu.
