Zhang Jixiang didn't understand Xiao Ce's intentions, but this scene seemed familiar. The emperor had also grabbed the wrist of the virtuous concubine before, by the way, the emperor originally grabbed the wrist of the noble concubine!

Could it be the sequelae caused by the emperor grabbing the wrist of the concubine?

Thinking of this, he mustered up the courage to ask: "Does the emperor want to find a concubine to sleep?!" ”

Xiao Ce was about to rest, and when he heard this, he looked at Zhang Jixiang, his eyes as sharp as a blade.

Zhang Jixiang's legs suddenly weakened, and he fell to his knees in fright: "Slaves, slaves are talkative, slaves should be punished!" ”

He slapped a few palms on his face until Xiao Ce's cold voice sounded above his head: "In the future, don't talk about the concubine before me, step down!" ”

"Yes, the minion obeys!" Zhang Jixiang crawled and exited the dormitory.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his heart palpitated. The current emperor is not as gentle as before, and he must no longer make his own decisions in front of the emperor.

The emperor's dislike of the concubine is something that the entire harem knows, how can he make such a low-level mistake again?

In the next few days, the harem was calm, and Xiao Ce stayed in the Yangxin Palace to discuss with the courtiers in addition to the Taihe Palace, or to deal with the twists and turns.

The hardest person these days is Zhao Yu.

Because every time he goes to court, he will be stared at by Xiao Ce. Xiao Ce seemed to look at him unpleasantly, and asked for his name every day, and if he didn't answer well, he would be reprimanded.

This time, even Mrs. Zhao was uneasy.

Back at Zhao's mansion, Mrs. Zhao specially called Zhao Yu to the study to ask what was going on.

"The emperor has frequently found your mistakes in the past few days, do you know why?" Mrs. Zhao asked in a deep voice.

"My grandson doesn't know." Zhao Yu bowed his head and responded.

"Is it that the stand-in incident that came out last time made the emperor dissatisfied with you?" Mrs. Zhao was thoughtful.

When this rumor first came out, he asked Zhao Yu, and Zhao Yu replied categorically, Yueqing had no resemblance to Qin Guifei.

Of course, he also knew that there was no similarity between these two women, and he thought that this matter had been revealed, but later Qin Zhao was beaten into the cold palace, and the time point of entering the cold palace was too close, and he was also uneasy in his heart.

It's just that later Qin Guifei came out of the cold palace, and the incident seems to have passed, and I don't want the emperor to stare at Yu'er again, this matter is unusual.

"Yueqing is not a stand-in for the concubine at all, I have explained it many times......" As soon as this matter was mentioned, Zhao Yu's emotions were a little excited.

Mrs. Zhao looked at Zhao Yu coldly: "What are you doing so excited?" ”

"I was wronged, how could I not be excited? If nothing else, I'll quit first. After Zhao Yu finished speaking, he walked away quickly.

Mrs. Zhao looked at Zhao Yu's back, and her mood was a little heavy.

If the emperor really doesn't like Yu'er, Yu'er's future in the future will only be affected. Yu'er is the hope of the Zhao family, and it must not be ruined by a woman.

If it was really the rumors of the stand-in that made the emperor unhappy, if necessary, he would send Yueqing away, or ......

In Shoukang Palace, Qin Zhao also moved his official affairs over.

The Dragon Boat Festival is a big festival, and since she is in charge of the affairs of the six palaces, this matter must be handled properly. In addition, the Queen Mother's birthday is also in May, no matter how low-key the Queen Mother is, the Queen Mother's Holy Birthday Festival cannot be ignored.

She was busy that day, and she heard Xiao Ce's footsteps approaching.

Xiao Ce came to ask the Empress Dowager for peace, but the Empress Dowager pondered in her heart that she had to think of a way to reconcile Xiao Ce with Qin Zhao.

She whispered to Mama Li, and Mama Li left.

It's a pity that Mama Li came back alone, and she shook her head at the Queen Mother. Qin Zhao was busy and didn't want to come over to meet the saint.

Xiao Ce saw the eyebrow lawsuit between the Empress Dowager and Mama Li, so he asked, "Is there something wrong with the imperial grandmother?" ”

"The mourning family wants to let Zhao girl come over, but who knows that the girl is unwilling. The mourning family remembers that the two of you used to be very good, but now why Zhao Yatou doesn't want to see you, did you do something to make Zhao Yatou unhappy? The Empress Dowager was blunt.

Xiao Ce said in his heart that he didn't want to see Qin Zhao either, but Qin Zhao's move should be to advance and retreat, and he was used to seeing such a woman's move.

"I don't want to see her." Xiao Ce opened his lips indifferently.

He doesn't have any likes or dislikes for any woman, but he can't say anything about Qin Zhao.

"Don't let Zhao Yatou hear what you say, otherwise she will hold a grudge and never get along with you in the future." The Empress Dowager said nervously.

Xiao Ce didn't like to hear the Empress Dowager mention Qin Zhao again, so he simply got up and said, "I came to ask the imperial grandmother for peace, and I was relieved to see that the imperial grandmother was well......"

"The mourning family is about to be born, and the Zhao girl is busy with this matter, so you don't care about how to take care of the mourning family's holy birthday banquet?" The Empress Dowager quickly thought of a way to reconcile the two.

Xiao Ce was speechless for a while.

If it weren't for the Queen Mother's reminder, he would have forgotten that the Queen Mother's birthday was in May, which was very close to the Dragon Boat Festival.

"Ace, you go and see how Zhao Yatou is planning, it's not long before the Dragon Boat Festival, the mourning family is afraid that she won't be busy, you go and see if there is anything missing." The Empress Dowager patted the back of Xiao Ce's hand: "Don't be too harsh on Zhao girl." She did get a little impulsive and hurt you that time, but she didn't mean to ......"

Afraid that the Empress Dowager would talk again, Xiao Ce answered: "I'll go and take a look." ”

Qin Zhao, who pricked up his ears and eavesdropped, knew that Xiao Ce was coming to find him, and he immediately woke up his spirits.

She dared to be sure that Xiao Ce would definitely find fault with her, which was not good.

When Xiao Ce came over, Qin Zhao had already returned to normal.

According to her idea, the soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

Seeing that Xiao Ce was coming, she stepped forward to ask for peace in a decent manner.

Xiao Ce wanted to find fault in her salute, but she learned the palace rules very well, better than everyone else in the harem, especially the posture of the salute is not only dignified, but also very beautiful, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is pleasing to the eye.

Xiao Ce couldn't find fault with Qin Zhao, but he was not in a hurry to exempt Qin Zhao's courtesy.

Qin Zhao maintained the posture of saluting, not moving like a mountain, and the lower plate was very stable, without the slightest shaking.

This is also thanks to the fact that in her previous life, in order to please Xiao Ce, she trained her palace rules and etiquette day and night, just because Xiao Ce said that she was unruly and did not have the appearance of a concubine.

Yes, thanks to the exercise in her previous life, even when Xiao Ce made things difficult for her again, she was as stable as Mount Tai.

Zhang Jixiang saw that a quarter of an hour had passed, and the emperor was still exempt from the gift of the concubine, he suddenly forgot the lesson of last night, and couldn't help but remind: "The emperor has not exempted the concubine from the ceremony......"

Xiao Ce glanced at Zhang Jixiang, Zhang Jixiang immediately lowered his head, and his back was cold.

At this time, Xiao Ce finally showed mercy and opened his mouth: "No courtesy." ”

He also had to admit that Qin Zhao's rules were indeed well learned, which was undeniable. Even when he deliberately made things difficult, he seemed very stable, which was what a concubine should be.
