Xiao Ce sneered and hooked his lips: "You mean you want me to leave?" ”

Qin Zhao of course hoped deep in his heart that Xiao Ce would hurry up and get down to business, so as not to know that she was drinking and had to lecture her.

But she didn't dare to tell the truth, so she replied innocently: "I finally saw the emperor, how can I be willing to drive the emperor away?" The emperor is fine with everything, but his suspicion is too serious. ”

"It's clear that you're not sincere, and you blame me for being seriously ill?" Xiao Ce said, and deliberately went to check if there was anything wrong with the glass of water that Qin Zhao drank.

He looked at the teacup carefully, but found nothing unusual.

"Baoyu, the emperor is here, why don't you go and bring the fruit?" Qin Zhao said and instructed Baozhu again: "You go and make two cups of tea, and the emperor and I will drink it later." ”

Chewing tea leaves can remove the smell of alcohol, and she can give it a try.

The two treasures went in response, Baoyu quickly brought the fruit plate up, Qin Zhao took the fruit to eat, and when Baozhu brought the tea, she couldn't wait to drink the tea, and chewed the tea by the way.

Xiao Ce frowned when he saw her busy appearance: "Qin Zhao, do you have a problem?!" ”

I can't complain that he thinks too much, this woman speaks and acts with a strange feeling.

She never drank tea at night before, saying that drinking tea would make her excited and insomnia, why is it abnormal now?

Qin Zhao hurriedly shook his head: "I'm fine, it's fine." ”

Sure enough, chewing tea leaves is useful, she can feel it herself, and she chews more happily at the moment.

"Are you chewing tea leaves?!" Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao as if he had seen a ghost.

"I suddenly found that the tea sent by the emperor was particularly delicious, and the more I chewed, the sweeter it became, and it was delicious." Qin Zhao laughed.

Xiao Ce saw the fragments of tea on Qin Zhao's teeth, and he couldn't bear to look at them for a while.

Qin Zhao chewed a lot of tea that night, and indeed didn't let Xiao Ce find out the fact that she was drinking, but the consequence was that he was too excited and couldn't sleep.

Afraid of arguing with Xiao Ce to rest, she simply got up and said, "The emperor will sleep first, I'll go outside and run two laps before coming to sleep." ”

Without waiting for Xiao Ce to agree, she ran out of the dormitory and ran in Jinyang Palace.

When she ran more than a dozen laps and stopped, she found Xiao Ce standing under the brightly lit eaves waiting for her.

She stood in front of Xiao Ce sweating profusely: "Why hasn't the emperor slept yet?" ”

When she stopped and found that someone was waiting for her, the happiness was indescribable.

"Waiting for you." Xiao Ce said as he took her hand and pushed her to the clean room, "I asked Baozhu to prepare for the bath. On such a hot day, you sweat after running, go wash first. ”

Qin Zhao didn't expect Xiao Ce to be so caring, and she felt a little guilty for a while: "It's all my fault, I shouldn't eat too much tea, and the emperor will stay up late with me." ”

"It's just a small thing. Do not chew tea at night in the future to avoid insomnia. Xiao Ce didn't care.

Under the lights, his eyes were soft, warm as the moon in the sky.

Qin Zhao turned around and went to the clean room, remembering the question Zuo Zhaorong and Wu Xirou asked her.

They all asked her what her feelings for Xiao Ce were, she thought it was family affection, but at a certain moment of warmth, she would also break her heart for Xiao Ce.

She hopes that this family relationship with Xiao Ce will never deteriorate, otherwise she will force those people and hearts that do not belong to her, which is not right.

Xu was because she took a comfortable bath, and this time she fell asleep on the couch.

The next day, she woke up late, and Xiao Ce went to Fengtian Hall early in the morning to go to the morning court.

"Before leaving, the emperor also asked the slave and maid not to disturb the girl, so that the girl could sleep until she woke up naturally." Baozhu said as he stood up to serve Qin Zhao.

This situation seems to be no different from the situation in Mochizuki at that time.

It's just that the girl was Liangdi at that time, and she was also one of the emperor's backyards. Now although he lives in the Jinyang Palace where Concubine Wu once lived, and it is still the main hall, he has no name.

If this phenomenon is normal, it is obviously unreasonable. But if it is not normal, the girl's residence in Jinyang Palace is also in line with the emperor's favorite girl's thoughts.

Qin Zhao didn't answer, she focused on washing, and only remembered something serious when she was eating breakfast: "Are there other guests living in Jinyang Palace?" ”

"Not yet. Maybe I was afraid that someone would disturb the girl, so only the girl lived in this palace. The jewel replied.

It's just that in the future, when the draft is over, there will be more and more beauties in the harem, and there may be new guests in Jinyang Palace.

Baoyu saw that Baozhu never mentioned the draft, so she took the lead in provoking this conversation: "The slave maid heard that the Queen Mother is preparing for the draft. ”

Since Empress Dowager Guo became the queen mother, she has been the busiest among all the people in the harem, and she comes to trouble the girl all day long.

This time he is actively preparing for the draft, and he clearly wants to enter more newcomers in the harem and find more people to deal with the girl.

"When the emperor first ascended the throne, it is normal for the draft to be on the agenda." Qin Zhao felt that this was not unusual.

It should be said that it was expected.

Baoyu was silent for a moment, and then said: "I heard that the Queen Mother and all the adults are dissatisfied with the emptiness of the Middle Palace, and intend to establish the queen as soon as possible, and are currently looking for a suitable candidate. ”

Qin Zhao sneered when he heard this: "Empress Dowager Guo is really idle, the emperor has only been on the throne for a few days?" I can't wait to take care of the emperor's marriage. This is not something we can ignore, and you should not mention it in front of the emperor. ”

When Xiao Ce was the crown prince, he wanted to find the crown princess for Xiao Ce, and when Xiao Ce ascended the throne, he wanted to find a queen for Xiao Ce, since this matter had to be settled sooner or later, it was better to settle the dust as soon as possible.

I just don't know what Xiao Ce's own wishes are......

In the Palace of Heart Cultivation, Xiao Ce met with a few ministers, and before he could breathe a sigh, the Queen Mother took several candidates for the queen to let him see.

"The emptiness of the middle palace is not a solution, you are not young, you should have married a wife and had children, but now that this matter is not resolved, all the adults will not feel at ease. Since the emperor has ascended the throne, he should focus on the overall situation. The mourning family selected for you are all famous ladies, they are good enough in any aspect, and they also help the emperor to sit on the dragon throne, you can take a look, do you like it? Empress Dowager Guo spoke earnestly.

Xiao Ce didn't look at the list of so-called queen candidates, he said slowly: "The matter will be postponed immediately, and it will be discussed after three years of drafting." ”

Empress Dowager Guo didn't expect him to have such an answer, she said coldly: "Whether it is the establishment or the draft, it is a matter related to the fortunes of the Great Qi Dynasty, emperor, you can't be willful......"

"The queen mother probably forgot her father and died not long ago. I don't want to be drafted and established at this time, this is also the last bit of filial piety I have done for my father, and it is difficult for my mother to be strong. After a pause, Xiao Ce said firmly: "This matter is over here, and it is not allowed to be discussed!" ”

Empress Dowager Guo also wanted to persuade again: "The mourning family thinks about the emperor everywhere and worries about the fortunes of the Great Qi country, how can the emperor be so willful——"

"Zhang Jixiang, send the Queen Mother back to Cihe Palace, I am very busy." Xiao Ce interrupted Empress Dowager Guo's words.
