Qin Zhao glanced at Xiao Yi's direction, his heart was surging, but his face did not change at all: "The concubines naturally know King An, why did the emperor ask King An for no reason?" ”

Xiao Ce's deep eyes were half-narrowed, and he wanted to see traces of weakness on Qin Zhao's face, but Qin Zhao looked very frank and innocent, and he didn't seem to have any suspicion.

While Xiao Ce was distracted, Qin Zhao took the opportunity to break free from his control, "The concubine went to send the Empress Dowager back to the palace to rest." ”

Grab a snack to fill your stomach.

Like Fang Cai, she is not ashamed to fall under her physical weakness, but she loses the face of the royal family.

As soon as Qin Zhao walked away, Xiao Ce was singled, and many concubines surrounded him, but because of Xiao Ce's cold breath, everyone didn't dare to get too close.

Xiao Ce saw an acquaintance in the crowd, it was Cui Jieyu, so he asked Cui Jieyu to come over to accompany him.

Qin Zhao sent the Empress Dowager back to the palace of Qichun Garden to rest and needed to take a boat, she only got on the boat for a while, and was silently eating snacks, wanting to fill her stomach, when she heard the footsteps of Yingying Yanyan approaching.

The emperor who was surrounded by women was also among them, and Cui Jieyu was among them.

But Wu Xirou somehow fell outside the crowd this time, not in the encirclement, which is a bit strange.

Xiao Ce just got on the boat, and saw Qin Zhao eating dim sum delicately, like a hamster, and this woman also talked to the Empress Dowager from time to time.

As soon as the Empress Dowager saw Xiao Ce, she beckoned to him: "Ace, come and talk to the mourning family." ”

The old man wanted to reconcile the two of them, but the thoughts were not engraved on the face.

Xiao Ce stepped forward as he said, and before he took a seat, he saw that there were bruises on Qin Zhao's hand that he had been holding all morning. I don't know if her skin is too fair and delicate, or if he is too rough, but the marks on her hands are a little obvious.

The Empress Dowager also saw the obvious bruises on the back of Qin Zhao's hand at this time, and couldn't help but exclaim: "What's wrong with your girl's hand?" ”

"I accidentally bumped into it, and it will be fine soon." Of course, Qin Zhao couldn't tell the truth, he just wanted to be perfunctory.

"Does it hurt?" The Empress Dowager looked pitiful and blew on the back of Qin Zhao's hand.

Qin Zhao had never tried to have an elder love her like this in her life, her heart warmed, and she showed a coquettish smile: "The concubine is not so noble, it doesn't hurt at all, really." ”

The Empress Dowager was not at ease, so she ordered someone to take the stasis cream, and said softly: "The skin of my daughter's family is delicate and needs to be carefully maintained." ”

Xiao Ce only felt that the imperial grandmother seemed to be saying something to him.

He didn't mean it at the time, if it weren't for Qin Zhao's desire to capture him, he wouldn't have been careless, and he didn't know that a woman's hand was so easy to leave a mark.

"Ace, you go and accompany Zhao Yatou over there to enjoy the lake view." The Empress Dowager didn't hide it this time, and gave the order directly.

Xiao Ce resisted in his heart, but Qin Zhao saw it, so he said, "The concubine wants to sit with the mother." ”

"You girl doesn't even listen to the mourners, do you?" When the Empress Dowager faced Xiao Ce, she brought out the birthday star's shelf: "Ah Ce, do you even want to make the imperial grandmother angry on her birthday?" ”

Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao when he heard this, Qin Zhao also looked over, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed Qin Zhao's wrist: "I take the concubine over there for a walk, you accompany the imperial grandmother to talk, and you must make the imperial grandmother happy." ”

The hearts of the other concubines were cold.

What can be said? When Qin Zhao was rejected by the emperor, he still had the support of the Queen Mother, which was really different from the same life.

Qin Zhao passively followed Xiao Ce to the bow of the boat, only to hear Xiao Ce say: "You will buy people's hearts and let the imperial grandmother protect you like this." ”

"The concubine fell in love with the Empress Dowager, and the concubine protected the concubine just for selfish reasons, and the emperor didn't have to take it seriously." Qin Zhao was caught by Xiao Ce, and wanted to quietly retract his hand.

Xiao Ce held it tighter instead, and then seemed to remember something, he let go of her hand, and scooped up her cuffs to take a closer look, and saw that there was a red mark on her tender white wrist, which he had just left.

He couldn't help but shake his head: "I've never seen such a squeamish." ”

Qin Zhao said in her heart that she had not been pampered all these years, she was indeed squeamish, but she was used to it.

It's a pity that Xiao Ce, who treated her well and indulged her unconditionally, is gone.

But she also knew that although their temperaments were slightly different, they were the same person, but the environment in her previous life created the Xiao Ce in front of her.

And Xiao Ce in this life, the only bit of tenderness was given to her, but she didn't catch it, but destroyed it with her own hands.

"Didn't you hear me?" Xiao Ce saw that Qin Zhao didn't speak, and looked ahead in a trance, as if he was missing what kind of sad expression made him dissatisfied: "Who are you thinking about?" ”

It can't be her ex-husband Zhao Yu.

Qin Zhao didn't answer and asked: "Why doesn't the emperor like concubines?" ”

Obviously, Xiao Ce liked her so much before, why didn't Xiao Ce like her in his previous life?

Xiao Ce was stopped by Qin Zhao's question.

As soon as he woke up, he was told that Qin Zhao was plotting to kill him, and Qin Zhao in the dream was so noisy that he couldn't sleep well, he liked to be quiet, and she was too noisy because he didn't like it.

"Do you know I don't like you?" Xiao Ce hooked his lips sarcastically.

Qin Zhao heard him say the word "dislike" in person, and his heart instantly cooled.

He seemed to have said the same thing in his previous life, but she was quick to pick herself up and chase after him. Her efforts will still pay off, so later there are little atoms.

In this life, she no longer has such a lonely courage, and it is impossible for her to run after him anymore.

If you don't like it, don't like it, he's fine, it's a great gift to be fine.

Xiao Ce thought that Qin Zhao would reply to him, "It doesn't matter if the emperor doesn't like me, just like the emperor." ”

Qin Zhao in the dream would be the answer like this.

But Qin Zhao was silent for a moment, and only said: "The ship is docked, and the concubine will send the Empress Dowager back to the garden to rest, and send the emperor off." ”

Her court etiquette is good, her voice is steady, and she shows the grace that a noble concubine should have everywhere, so that Xiao Ce can't find anything wrong.

Xiao Ce watched Qin Zhao help the Empress Dowager get off the boat, and the Empress Dowager asked Qin Zhao what he had just told him, but Qin Zhao said that he had forgotten.

The Empress Dowager seemed to say something to Qin Zhao again, Qin Zhao listened carefully, and the afternoon sun was a little warm, shining on Qin Zhao's face, making her look dazzling.

"Sister Qin is not only good-looking, but also has a good bearing." Cui Jieyu's voice sounded beside Xiao Ce.

Xiao Ce suddenly became a little irritable: "Isn't she just a jealous woman?" ”

Although Qin Zhao is not the same as in his dream, he is more cunning and knows how to retreat as advance, and no longer blindly chases him.

"I heard that the emperor used to dot on Sister Qin very much." Cui Jieyu was cautious and tentative.

Is there really nothing left of this honor?

But Xiao Ce was so focused when he looked at Qin Zhao's back, so focused that he didn't notice her approaching.
