"Silly girl, Aijia takes a nap, you don't need to stay with Aijia. You haven't eaten yet, at least have a good meal today and live a good year. This is an order, you must listen to Aijia's words." Guo
The Queen Mother showed off her airs.
Nianyun hesitated for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "If anything happens, please notify me as soon as possible. After I finish my meal, I will wait next door."
"Go." Queen Mother Guo waved her hand.
Nianyun then went to eat and let others watch.
Queen Mother Guo watched Nianyun go away and sighed softly. She lay on the bed and remembered the scene of the reunion dinner just now.
Xiao Ce's attention was all on Qin Zhao and A Yuan, and he didn't take care of her feelings.
When he first learned that she was poisoned, Xiao Ce was shocked, but that was all. After Concubine Rong passed away, Xiao Ce rarely visited her.
On such a big day as New Year's Eve, Xiao Ce didn't show much enthusiasm. Is it because Xiao Ce knew some secrets?
Xiao Ce once went to meet Concubine Rong alone, and Concubine Rong most likely told Xiao Ce something.
It's a pity that Concubine Rong has left, so she can't go to Concubine Rong to find out what happened.
Xiao Ce's indifference towards her must be because he believed some of Concubine Rong's words, right?
She thought wildly for a while before falling into a drowsy sleep.
The New Year's Eve reunion dinner there was also successfully concluded. Qin Zhao felt that it was boring to have such a reunion dinner, as most of them were just socializing.
Whether it was the county king or the female relatives brought by the prince, they all came to greet her with a few polite words. Although she deliberately wanted to look more majestic, she could not let those people stop there.
She spent most of the reunion dinner laughing, and sometimes she even had a drink.
When the meal was over, she breathed a sigh of relief.
But this was just the beginning of a busy day. Xiao Ce had to entertain all the ministers at the evening banquet.
As a noble concubine, Qin Zhao was not idle and had to deal with the female relatives of the ministers. Some people tried to curry favor with her with the idea of adding people to the harem, while others simply wanted to establish friendship with her.
The most eye-catching among them belongs to Hu.
Mrs. Hu was the concubine of Xiao Ceyi, King of An, and she was favored by Xiao Yi. Qin Zhao was deeply impressed by Mrs. Hu.
When the late emperor was still alive, Mrs. Hu also entered the palace with Xiao Yi.
Nowadays, Mrs. Hu is still beautiful, and her charm is even better than before. Qin Zhao is just glad that he is a woman, otherwise, facing such a delicate beauty, his bones will go numb if he talks to this woman.
"The last time I saw the imperial concubine, she was still a good lady. In the blink of an eye, the imperial concubine has reached a high position, and even the little highness is almost half a year old." Mrs. Hu sighed with emotion.
Her voice was soft and sweet. Although she didn't mean it, she spoke as if she was scratching someone's itch.
Listening to Hu's talk, I felt that this was a very enjoyable thing, and Xiao Yi was very lucky.
"Time flies by so fast. By the way, when will you give birth to Wang An?" Qin Zhao said casually.
She remembered that in her previous life, Xiao Yi had no children. Even after Xiao Ce passed away, Xiao Yi's concubines did not give birth to any children.
She knew that Xiao Yi had thoughts about her in his previous life, but she thought it was just a man's curiosity about women, so she didn't take Xiao Yi's feelings to heart.
In this life, she had dealt with Xiao Yi when she was out of the palace. At that time, Xiao Yi gave her the same feeling as in her previous life. She had a man's curiosity, and most importantly, it was mixed with Xiao Yi's ambition for the throne.
But she will not let Xiao Ce die early in this life, and she will grow old with Xiao Ce no matter what.
I don’t know whether it was Hu’s own intention to suddenly get close to her, or Xiao Yi’s instructions behind her back?
At this moment of thought, many thoughts flashed through Qin Zhao's mind.
Mrs. Hu didn't expect Qin Zhao to ask such a question, and her bright smiling face turned dim in an instant: "I thought that the fate of my children depends on God's will."
Qin Zhao saw the change in Hu's expression and knew that Hu had reservations about his words.
There is no woman who doesn’t want to give birth to a child of her own, especially someone with Xiao Yi’s status. If Mrs. Hu can give birth to a son, without a concubine, Mrs. Hu’s child may still become the heir apparent. How can such an honor be achieved?
Women don’t want it? Of course Hu is no exception.
Mrs. Hu has not given birth to a son and a half. If it is not because of Mrs. Hu's physical problems, it is because Xiao Yi does not want Mrs. Hu to have children.
Xiao Ce had no children before, so Xiao Yi was right to do this.
But now that Xiao Ce has a child called Xiao Atom, there is no reason why Xiao Yi should not let Mrs. Hu give birth to the child.
Is Xiao Yi so cautious because he is worried about Xiao Ce's precautions?
"What you say makes sense. When I first entered the harem, I couldn't conceive, but then I suddenly became pregnant. This is because God has treated me well. You are still young, and there will always be a chance to conceive an heir in the future." Qin Zhao agreed with Hu with a smile.
’s words.
She couldn't understand the pain in Mrs. Hu's heart. At least she had never met a man who wouldn't let her have a child, and Xiao Yi could do such a thing.
If the trend in her previous life was followed, Mrs. Hu would never be able to conceive a child in this life. In other words, Mrs. Hu would have to guard a man who would not let her have a child.
Not only the Hu family, but also the other beautiful concubines in Prince An's palace must have had the same result as the Hu family.
As a woman, Qin Zhao felt that Mrs. Hu was a bit pitiful.
"I hope so." Mrs. Hu felt a little depressed and simply changed the subject: "Will I be able to enter the palace to see the imperial concubine from time to time in the future?"
Qin Zhao only said that she was being polite and replied readily: "Of course!"
Hu was satisfied after receiving Qin Zhao's words.
Just when Qin Zhao was busy, Concubine Wu, who had not been seen for a long time, suddenly appeared.
As soon as Mrs. Wu appeared, the noisy scene became quiet.
Even Wu Xirou did not expect that Mrs. Wu would suddenly come to the banquet. She had asked Mrs. Wu last time because she was afraid that Mrs. Wu would want to attack Queen Mother Guo.
Who would have thought that Concubine Wu would appear on such a grand occasion today.
Due to poor health, Queen Mother Guo did not attend the banquet in the evening. Unexpectedly, at this time, Princess Wu, who had not attended any important occasion for a long time, actually showed her face.
Qin Zhao also saw Concubine Wu for the first time.
Concubine Wu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly appeared. This may be a signal that Concubine Wu is back in the harem.
This was the first thought that flashed through Qin Zhao's mind.
After everyone saw the ceremony, Wu Taifei naturally chose a conspicuous seat to sit.
"The Ai family has not appeared in the harem for a long time. Why are there still so many old people in the harem? Emperor, when will you start the draft?" After Concubine Wu looked at all the concubines in the harem, she made everyone prick up their ears as soon as she spoke.
Xiao Ce didn't move his eyebrows and opened his lips calmly: "The draft is on hold and the date has not yet been determined."
"This is the emperor's fault. Since the emperor ascended the throne, he only has one son, Xiao Yuan. As an emperor, this is the emperor's dereliction of duty..."
