Wu Xirou felt helpless.

Her pride and self-esteem did not allow her to do such a thing as begging for favor, and she was most afraid that after Xiao Ce rejected her, she would have no shame to face Xiao Ce.

So every time Liuli and Fangruo asked her to take the initiative to stay with Xiao Ce, she couldn't open this mouth, just because she was thin-skinned.

Especially in front of the man she loves, she can't be cheeky.

"The slave knows." Liuli's thoughts in her heart have not changed.

She knew how infatuated Concubine Xian was with the emperor, and she also knew that Concubine Xian could not take the initiative to compete for favor, but she was thick-skinned and could ask Zhang Jixiang for help.

As long as Concubine Xian can sleep smoothly, she is willing to do anything.

Where did Wu Xirou know about Liuli's plans? She thought that Ruri listened to her words, and she was immediately relieved.

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Qiushui found that Xiao Ce was wandering. Not only Qiushui discovered it, but even Zhang Jixiang also discovered this detail.

"What is on the emperor's mind?" Half an hour later, Zhang Jixiang saw that Xiao Ce was still distracted, and couldn't help asking.

Qiushui on the side also pricked up his ears to eavesdrop, wondering what Xiao Ce was thinking.

Xiao Ce glanced at Zhang Jixiang lightly and pursed his lips.

Zhang Jixiang woke up from Xiao Ce's expression change, and he didn't dare to ask again, because he knew that his master was not in a good mood.

It stands to reason that if he reconciles with the concubine, the emperor should be happy, why is it different from what he thinks?

"Jixiang, you take the others to retreat, and the autumn water can stay and serve." Xiao Ce suddenly gave an order.

Zhang Jixiang's heart sank, and he felt that something was not quite right. In the past, if the emperor had something to say, he was left behind, and the others retreated, including Qiushui.

Why did you change it to autumn water today?

He was apprehensive, but he didn't dare to ask more, and led the others to retreat outside and wait.

When there was no third party, Xiao Ce opened his mouth: "You have been going to Jinyang Palace more recently, probing Zhaozhao's tone, and asking her if she has anything she particularly desires." ”

Qiushui didn't expect Xiao Ce to leave her to confess this matter, and she couldn't help but be a little curious: "Does the emperor want to please the concubine?" ”

Didn't you just reconcile with the concubine? The emperor had never done such a thing before.

"I always think Zhao Zhao is not too happy." Xiao Ce hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his worries.

Qin Zhao is an emotionally exposed woman, she can show it when she is happy, and it will also show it on her face when she is unhappy.

In the past few days, Qin Zhao has given him the feeling that he is not as emotionally exposed as before, and he is not as happy as before when he is with him.

He couldn't figure out what was going on in this woman's mind, and it scared him.

Yes, because he couldn't guess a woman's mind, he was a little panicked, which was a feeling he had never felt before.

"No, the slave maid thinks that the concubine is in a good mood." Qiushui was a little surprised.

Xiao Ce frowned when he heard this: "Really? ”

"Isn't it?" Qiushui asked incomprehensibly.

Xiao Ce said in his heart, is he really thinking too much? But he felt that Qin Zhao was more gentle and happier when he was with him in the past, unlike now, he looked a little old, and he didn't like to talk much.

"You do what I tell you to do, I don't need you to serve me at this moment, go ahead." Xiao Ce waved his hand, signaling that Qiushui could go.

Zhang Jixiang, who was guarding outside, saw Qiushui coming out, caught up with two steps and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

"I've got something to go out for." Qiushui dropped this sentence and walked away.

Zhang Jixiang sent Qiushui away, but he still couldn't understand where Qiushui was going, he should have been arranged by the emperor to go out, right?

Now the emperor also has a secret, or a secret with Qiushui, but he doesn't have the right to know......

The autumn water came out of the Heart Nourishing Palace, and went to Jinyang Palace.

Qin Zhao saw Qiushui coming, thinking that something was wrong, but who knew that Qiushui spit bitterness with her, saying that she was squeezed out by Zhang Jixiang, and she was punished by Xiao Ce before, because she had nowhere to go, she came to Jinyang Palace.

Qin Zhaoxin thought it was true, so he comforted Qiushui and said: "Zhang Jixiang has served the emperor for so many years, and his feelings are naturally different, what are you doing with him?" Don't be stupid in the future, do your part, if you do well, the emperor will be able to see it. ”

"What the mother said is that the slave maid herself is not good enough. The slave has nowhere to go these days, can she serve the mother in Jinyang Palace? "Autumn water leads to the right topic.

Qin Zhao did not doubt it: "Naturally, it is possible." If there is really one day when the emperor doesn't want you to serve, you can come to Jinyang Palace. ”

Qiushui suddenly smiled: "Niangniang has already helped the slave and maid think of a way out, what else does the slave and maid have to worry about?" ”

She easily did it when she entered Jinyang Palace, but she really didn't know how to find out what the concubine wanted.

It can't be too obvious, otherwise it will make the concubine suspicious.

Qin Zhao didn't notice Qiushui's other intentions for a while.

When Qiushui asked her what else she liked besides the little atom, she couldn't answer for a while.

"I have everything I like in this palace, and I don't have any other special hobbies." Qin Zhao said in her heart that she longed for life outside the palace, but she couldn't tell Qiushui about this.

Qiushui was unwilling and asked, "There are always things that my mother likes?" For example, gold, silver, jewelry, and the like. ”

Qin Zhaowan smiled: "This palace is a noble concubine, and the mother of this palace has left a batch of rich dowries, and there are all kinds of jewelry." ”

She is not short of money at all, and she has no special hobby of jewelry.

"Then the lady always has any wishes, right?" Qiushui was pure curiosity this time.

"Of course, there is a wish, that is, I hope that the little atom can grow up healthy and healthy, the great Qi can prosper the country, and the emperor will be healthy." Qin Zhao thinks he is a layman, and his wishes are of course also cheesy.

Qiushui was speechless for a while.

The good wishes of the concubine are all related to His Royal Highness and the emperor, what should she say?

"Niangniang will definitely get what she wants." Qiushui murmured silently.

"Hopefully." Qin Zhao hugged the little atom and kissed it, with gentle eyebrows and eyes.

After that, Qiushui didn't say much, she knew that she couldn't ask anything, and she was afraid that it would be difficult for her to complete the task assigned by the emperor.

In the evening, she returned to the Heart Cultivation Hall and reported to Xiao Ce about the situation in Jinyang Palace.

Xiao Ce laughed after hearing this: "This seems like what she would say." ”

"The slave maid thinks that the concubine looks quite normal, there is nothing wrong with it, the emperor may be thinking too much." Qiu Shui expressed his own perception.

She didn't see that Qin Zhao was no different from before anyway.

"You go and rest, Ming'er, you go to Jinyang Palace again and observe." Xiao Ce pondered for a moment and made a decision.

"The slave and maid are gone." Qiushui retreated as he said.

Early the next morning, Qiushui appeared in Jinyang Palace.

Qin Zhao got up, and Qiushui came over to serve, and quipped: "The slave and maid are here to snatch the jewel." ”
