Hearing this, Xiao Linzi stepped forward and responded: "To tell you the truth, as the New Year is approaching, the Emperor has already taken a break from bathing."
The Emperor should have been very busy before Xiu Mu, but after Xiu Mu he wouldn't be so busy that he didn't even have time to come to Jinyang Palace to see His Highness and the Imperial Concubine?
If he hadn't known that the emperor had not been to any other places except Yangxin Palace and Cihe Palace recently, he would have thought that the emperor had moved on.
"It shouldn't be too busy. Maybe he has to accompany the Queen Mother, so the Emperor doesn't have time to come to Jinyang Palace." Qin Zhao naturally found an excuse for Xiao Ce.
Anyway, she and Xiao Ce only need to care about each other a little, and they don't have to love each other desperately. Although that day in the Yangxin Hall made her feel in love again, it only happened in that afternoon.
After returning to Jinyang Palace, she regained her senses. After all, her man was Xiao Ce. If she wanted to expect Xiao Ce to love a woman to death, that would be unless Xiao Ce was reborn.
"Empress..." Baozhu stopped talking.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. There's no need to hesitate." Qin Zhao looked at Baozhu encouragingly.
"I'm sorry to say it bluntly, but it's a bit unusual for the Emperor to not come to Jinyang Palace recently." Baozhu summoned up the courage to say.
She had wanted to say it for a long time, but the empress didn't take it to heart, so she was hesitant to say it.
Today, it was the empress who took the initiative to mention this matter, so she said a word.
"Is it abnormal?" Qin Zhao thought carefully, "The emperor often didn't come to Jinyang Palace in the past, but you didn't say that was abnormal."
"This time, the emperor suddenly stopped coming to Jinyang Palace after Concubine Xian went to Yangxin Palace. Moreover, it was before the New Year, and the emperor didn't even come to visit His Highness. This is unusual." Baozhu said seriously.
.
Therefore, sometimes the empress is too arrogant and never suspects that it is the Concubine Xian who is behind the scenes.
"I generally understand what you mean, but with all due respect, the emperor is not a soft-hearted person, and it is impossible for Concubine Xian to ask the emperor not to come to Jinyang Palace to find me. If we really want to find the reason, it must be because of
On Concubine Xian." Qin Zhao thought about it and said: "But there is indeed something wrong with the Emperor's absence for such a long time. I can find the reason myself."
Anyway, Xiao Ce is in Yangxin Hall, she can just go find him.
Qin Zhao was a man of action, so he took Xiao Atom with him to the Yangxin Hall.
When Xiao Ce heard that Qin Zhao was coming, he was not mentally prepared at all.
"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is here." Zhang Jixiang reminded him when he saw that his master was distracted again.
The emperor has become more normal recently, but when he heard that the imperial concubine was coming, he had this expression again.
After Qin Zhao came in, he saw Xiao Ce sitting upright on the dragon chair, his expression looking very serious.
Confused, she stepped forward to take a closer look and found that Xiao Ce was just reading.
"What book is so good?" Qin Zhao started to speak, but Xiao Ce suddenly pushed her.
She didn't notice for a moment and was pushed two steps away by him.
"Stay away from me." Xiao Ce looked righteous and solemn.
Qin Zhao looked at Xiao Ce in confusion, wondering if he was joking. But to be honest, she couldn't tell at all.
"What's going on, Your Majesty?" She couldn't hide anything in her heart and asked whatever she wanted.
"I'm reading a book and I don't like to be disturbed." As soon as Xiao Ce finished speaking, there was a meat dumpling in his arms. Wasn't it just a cute little atom?
He forgot his original intention for a moment and didn't know what to say.
Faced with Xiao Atom's face, he really couldn't say anything harsh, and of course, he couldn't just ignore the child.
"Is it more important for the Emperor to read a book now, or to spend time with Xiao Atom?" Qin Zhao asked calmly.
If nothing unexpected happens, Xiao Ce must be having trouble with her. Ever since she came to the Yangxin Hall that day, Xiao Ce has stopped coming to see her. Is it possible that he was unhappy because she was making out with him in broad daylight?
It was obvious that he couldn't control it at that time, so how could he put the responsibility on her?
Xiao Ce hugged Xiao Atom tightly, without speaking or looking at Qin Zhao.
"Your Majesty hasn't come to Jinyang Palace recently because I shouldn't have acted so arrogantly in the Yangxin Palace that day. Doesn't this make the Emperor unhappy? In fact, if you have anything you can tell me directly, I will correct it. Your Majesty has not done anything recently.
I have a chance to get along with Xiao Atom. Today, I will let Xiao Atom spend more time with the emperor. I have returned." Qin Zhao said, bowing and leaving.
Baozhu, Baohong and Baolan did not dare to show their anger. They followed Qin Zhao closely and left the Yangxin Hall.
Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao's back and wanted to call her out, but he couldn't lose face.
He could only look at the child in his arms and asked: "Is your mother-in-law angry with me?"
I was just asking casually, but Xiao Atom actually replied with one word: "Four..."
Xiao Ce was dumbfounded, but Zhang Jixiang heard this clearly and his eyes widened.
"Did you hear the child talking?" Xiao Ce asked Zhang Jixiang, thinking he was hearing hallucinations.
Zhang Jixiang looked shocked, "Slave, I heard you, but His Highness is so young, how can he speak?"
And he can also talk to the emperor, which is incredible.
Xiao Ce simply straightened the child's face and asked seriously: "Little Atom, do you know who I am?"
"Dad, dad." Xiao Atom answered waving his little hand.
Xiao Ce pointed at Zhang Jixiang and asked, "Who is he?"
"Xia, Xia..." Xiao Atom looked at Zhang Jixiang and replied.
Qin Zhao, who hadn't gone far yet, shook his head and laughed when he heard this. She also just learned that Xiao Atom gave Zhang Jixiang a nickname, "Xiangxiang", but he couldn't speak clearly, and "Xiangxiang" became "Xiangxiang".
"Xiaxia".
Children are smart and talk early, and they can't wait to talk to adults.
Sanbao was originally uneasy, but when he saw Qin Zhao suddenly smiled, everyone looked at each other.
"Aren't you angry with the emperor?" Baozhu asked boldly.
"Why am I so angry for no reason?" Qin Zhao asked back.
Baozhu was silent. This was not for nothing. In such an atmosphere, they were too frightened to say a word. Only the imperial concubine dared to speak to the emperor in this tone.
The Emperor has a terrifying and powerful aura, and most people would not dare to raise their heads when they are in front of the Emperor, let alone look at him.
The empress is different. She doesn't treat the emperor as the king of Qi at all, but just an ordinary man.
After returning to Jinyang Palace, Qin Zhao felt a little bored because her fun was playing with the little atoms. Thanks to her finding that her child was learning the language and talking to her every day, her child's progress was so rapid.
However, the child is still talking a little early. The child is only more than five months old and can talk now, which is indeed a bit scary.
Therefore, she has not announced the fact that Xiao Atom can talk for the time being, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble to the children.
That evening, Zhang Jixiang sent Xiao Atom back, but Xiao Ce was nowhere to be seen.
