When she entered the Cihe Palace, Wu Xirou remembered the grand scene when the Empress Dowager was still the Empress Dowager, and she remembered that it was the Wanshou Festival, and she was also fortunate to come to give gifts.

It's just that she doesn't win the heart of the Empress Dowager like Qin Zhao, and she has nothing to do with giving a gift.

Qin Zhao is just the opposite, he can serve the Empress Dowager nearby.

The grand scene of the Longevity Festival on that day seemed to be still in front of us, and in just two months, the Cihe Palace changed owners.

It can only be said that the world is unpredictable.

When she had calmed down, she went to the main hall.

Empress Dowager Guo is dressed plainly today, and there is no fat powder on her face, so at first glance, Empress Dowager Guo looks a little old, not as imposing as when she was wearing makeup.

Wu Xirou didn't dare to look at the Empress Dowager Guo anymore, she stepped forward and saluted: "The concubine respectfully invites the Empress Dowager Jin'an, the mother is blessed." ”

Empress Dowager Guo carefully looked Wu Xirou up and down, and found that she had learned the rules of etiquette very well, but she might not be as rigorous as Qin Zhao.

To be precise, among all the harem concubines she had seen, none of them seemed to be as good as Qin Zhao who had learned court etiquette as well.

Even Wu Xirou is a little worse than Qin Zhao.

That's enough, though.

"Excuse me, sit down." Empress Dowager Guo was quite satisfied with Wu Xirou.

After Wu Xirou entered the palace, she often served the pen and ink in front of the palace, and she advanced and retreated in a certain way, not impatient or impatient, which is stronger than many people.

Wu Xirou sat down as she said.

After that, whatever the Empress Dowager Guo asked, she should do anything, neither humble nor arrogant.

Empress Dowager Guo secretly observed, but she was satisfied with Wu Xirou's etiquette. At least Wu Xirou does not have the publicity of Concubine Wu, and her temperament is much calmer.

Empress Dowager Guo pulled Wu Xirou and chatted for about half an hour before letting Wu Xirou step down.

The moment she walked out of the Cihe Palace, Wu Xirou breathed a sigh of relief, deeply feeling that the Empress Dowager Guo was not simple, and she only hoped that the Empress Dowager Guo would not add her dislike for the concubine's aunt to her.

Liuli was also a little nervous, and asked in a low voice: "I don't know what the Queen Mother means by asking the contouring lady to come over today to ask?" ”

Wu Xirou remembered the previous questioning process of the Empress Dowager Guo, which was nothing more than gossip and some trivial matters in life, but it was clear that the Empress Dowager Guo was observing her daily behavior.

can let Empress Dowager Guo understand her carefully, presumably Empress Dowager Guo thinks she is valuable.

That's a good thing.

If she had the support of Empress Dowager Guo, it would be easier for her to get close to Xiao Ce, at least Empress Dowager Guo would not become her resistance, and she would be stronger than Qin Zhao in this regard.

Thinking about this truth, her mood was much more relaxed.

Not long after she left Cihe Palace, she saw a familiar figure walking towards her in front of her, could it be Qin Zhao?

The moment she saw Qin Zhao, Wu Xirou slowed down, secretly wondering how could there be such a coincidence? She just came out of Cihe Palace, and Qin Zhao couldn't wait to meet her by chance?

It was obvious that Qin Zhao saw that she was edicted by Empress Dowager Guo and wanted to come to inquire about the news.

Wu Xirou has always been a thoughtful person, and in the blink of an eye, there are countless careful thoughts that turn around her heart.

She didn't know that Qin Zhao was in Jinyang Palace on weekdays, and it was rare to be in a good mood today, so she came out to take a look around, and she didn't want to meet her.

Since the unhappy parting in Jinyang Palace that day, Qin Zhao hadn't seen Wu Xirou for some days.

Wu Xirou didn't want to meet Qin Zhao at this time, but the number of courtesies she should have was indispensable, and after she stepped forward to greet her, she said coldly: "Why does my sister have to leave today?" ”

"Seeing that the weather was good, I went out for a walk." Qin Zhao politely replied, "Sister, where did this come from?" ”

Wu Xirou lowered her eyes and replied: "I got the Empress Dowager's edict to see me, and I just came out of Cihe Palace." ”

Qin Zhao glanced at the direction where the Cihe Palace was located, and suddenly realized: "It turned out to be the Cihe Palace." ”

I heard that Empress Dowager Guo has frequently met with harem concubines recently, presumably to encourage everyone to be more active, so that Xiao Ce can give birth to the imperial heir as soon as possible.

She can understand the mood of Empress Dowager Guo, so she is not used to seeing it.

"Exactly." Wu Xirou didn't dare to say more.

Qin Zhao saw Wu Xirou like this, and also guessed that Wu Xirou was guarding against herself, she opened her lips indifferently: "I'll go to the Heart Cultivation Palace to see the emperor, sister, please." ”

"Congratulations to my sister." Wu Xirou's attitude was respectful.

Under Wu Xirou's line of attention, Qin Zhao walked away slowly.

Seeing that Qin Zhao's eyesore finally walked away, Liuli said softly: "Miss Qin knew that the face-slayer lady came out of the Cihe Palace, and she even deliberately tried to make the face-dressing mother, and she had a lot of eyes. ”

"Yes, the Queen Mother doesn't like Sister Qin, so Sister Qin will suffer from gains and losses, so she came here to create a chance encounter with me, right?" Wu Xirou replied softly.

If she didn't answer truthfully, she was afraid that Qin Zhao would think that she was not sincere.

"In short, the cosmetic lady should guard against Miss Qin a little more, don't worry about it, otherwise she will be framed by Miss Qin, and she won't know what's going on." Ruri admonished.

Wu Xirou glanced back at the direction of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and opened her lips indifferently: "I know it in my heart." ”

Originally, she still wanted to go to the Heart Cultivation Hall to show her face, but since Qin Zhao had gone, she might as well avoid it for the time being, so that Qin Zhao couldn't remember her as a person.

While Qin Zhao was heading towards the Heart Cultivation Palace, the conversation between Wu Xirong's master and servant automatically came into her ears.

Therefore, she can't like Wu Xirou. said that she wanted to be a good sister with her, and make money in harmony, but she always guarded against her behind her back, and lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

It was just a coincidence that she came out of Jinyang Palace and met Wu Xirou by chance, but Wu Xirou thought it was deliberate, and said that she suffered from gains and losses?

She really wanted to smack Wu Xirou's face, but she didn't have a good ear and shouldn't let anyone know, this was her exclusive secret.

When he went to the Heart Nourishing Palace, Qin Zhao went straight to Xinuan Pavilion.

I didn't want her to enter, and found that there were still several court officials, among whom Zhao Yu was one of them. Zhao Yu seems to have been promoted and became the secretary of the Criminal Department.

At a young age, he sat in the position of the secretary of the Criminal Department, and it can be seen that his future is immeasurable.

Xiao Ce and the others present didn't expect Qin Zhao to come over suddenly, everyone didn't dare to look at Qin Zhao directly, and Zhao Yu stepped aside for the first time and lowered his head.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Qin Zhao's skirt dragging out a beautiful arc, and the palms of his hands unconsciously oozed sweat......

Qin Zhao felt that he was a little abrupt when he entered the Xinuan Pavilion, especially Xiao Ce's sudden sharp eyes, as if she had done something unseemly.

Soon she remembered that Zhao Yu was her ex-husband, and she had a photo with her ex-husband, so Xiao Ce, the emperor, was not happy?

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible, and in order to dispel Xiao Ce's doubts, she took the initiative to greet Zhao Yu: "Lord Zhao, congratulations on your promotion, and when your child is born, it will be double happiness." By the way, your boy must be born soon, right? ”

Judging from the time, the moon is also about to give birth, which is indeed a double happiness.

Zhao Yu didn't expect Qin Zhao to talk to him suddenly, he was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a glance: "Come on, thank you for remembering." ”
