It's night, the temple of nourishing the heart.

Zhang Jixiang took the green head card as usual, Xiao Ce glanced at it, he didn't see Qin Zhao's sign, but what he remembered was what Qin Zhao had told him during the day.

She said that where he was, she was. She also said that he was kind to the other concubines in the harem, but she kept the empty boudoir alone every night......

"Your Majesty?" Zhang Jixiang saw Xiao Ce looking at the green head card in a daze, not knowing what his master was thinking.

"Why don't you see the concubine's brand?" Xiao Ce came back to his senses and replied softly.

It's strange to say, this harem is full of women who admire him, he grew up surrounded by that kind of sight since he was a child, how can he remember what Qin Zhao said?

The entire harem is full of concubines who guard the empty boudoir alone, and Qin Zhao is not the only one.

Zhang Jixiang didn't dare to say that it was the Empress Dowager Guo who didn't let Qin Guifei's brand, and the emperor suddenly mentioned the brand of the concubine, wouldn't he want to turn over the brand of the concubine?

"I'm asking you!" Xiao Ce looked at Zhang Jixiang coldly.

Zhang Jixiang hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Slave, slave don't remember......"

Xiao Ce looked at the top of Zhang Jixiang's head, Zhang Jixiang's scalp suddenly went numb, and he hurriedly apologized: "It was the slave who made his own opinion, thinking that the emperor didn't like the concubine Niangniang, so he didn't get the concubine's brand." ”

"You really deserve to die!" Xiao Ce waved his hand: "Take it down, don't get in the way of my eyes." ”

Zhang Jixiang hurriedly responded, holding the sign, and knelt down and retreated.

Before going to bed this night, Xiao Ce suddenly remembered what Qin Zhao had told him today, where he was, she would be there, but in recent days, this time Qin Zhao came to the Heart Cultivation Hall for the first time to find her.

"Jixiang, did the concubine often come to me before?" Xiao Ce asked casually.

This question stumped Zhang Jixiang.

He didn't know what answer Xiao Ce wanted to hear, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"Why is my question so difficult to answer? Tell the truth. Xiao Ce's eyes were like knives and he looked at Zhang Jixiang.

Zhang Jixiang felt that the current Long Live Lord was too strong, and he didn't dare to lie: "The noble concubine rarely comes to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and the number of times she comes to the Heart Cultivation Hall all year round is only a handful. ”

This is the truth, but he doesn't know if the emperor wants to hear this truth.

"Did the concubine pestering me before?" Xiao Ce asked again.

Zhang Jixiang's head lowered: "The concubine Niangniang is the most unpassing master in the entire harem, and it is usually the emperor who goes to find the concubine Niangniang......"

Speaking of this, he felt a chill on the back of his neck, and he instantly broke out in a cold sweat, not daring to squeak again.

Xiao Ce remembered Qin Zhao's sincere expression when he talked to him today, the woman suddenly showed her love to him, and said that she couldn't leave him, and she was just playing on the spot?!

"Are you sure?!"

Xiao Ce's gloomy voice sounded above Zhang Jixiang's head, and Zhang Jixiang was not at all sure whether to continue to tell the truth.

Speaking of which, this is a very shameless thing, the emperor is also a big man, and he will naturally be unhappy if he is not taken seriously by a harem concubine.

He didn't know how to answer: he heard Xiao Ce ask, "How many times will the concubine come to me all year round?" I want to hear the truth. ”

Zhang Jixiang said in his heart that he would not be so bored as to count such things, but when the emperor asked, he couldn't help but answer: "Ordinary hands can count." ”

Xiao Ce was not surprised by such an answer this time, he asked again: "The concubine said that she didn't want to go to the summer resort because she was reluctant to leave me, do you think the concubine is telling the truth?" ”

Zhang Jixiang's face turned pale when he heard this, how dare he tell the truth, and said busily: "Naturally, it's true." In the past, the relationship between the emperor and the concubine was good, and the concubine listened to the emperor for everything, that is, the emperor recently snubbed the concubine, and the concubine was not as good as the emperor before. ”

The concubine can't have an accident, she is the biological mother of the little highness, and the little highness is so small that she can't do without the concubine.

"You said that the concubines rarely come to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and you said that the concubines are better with the emperor, isn't it a contradiction?" Speaking of this, Xiao Ce suddenly asked, "Zhang Jixiang, did you accept the benefits of the concubine?!" ”

Zhang Jixiang was wronged to death, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground, "The slave is wronged!" The concubine Niangniang also blew up the head of the minion, how could the slave help the concubine Niangniang say good things? The reason why the concubine rarely comes to the Heart Cultivation Hall is because the emperor is busy with government affairs, and the concubine is clear in this kind of major event. The concubine Niangniang is a righteous woman, and this slave really admires the concubine Niangniang. The master of the slave is only the emperor, how can it be used by the harem concubines? Everything the slave said is true, and he doesn't dare to say half a lie, so please ask the emperor to learn from it. ”

Xiao Ce was looking at Zhang Jixiang's frank eyes.

He knows best what kind of person Zhang Jixiang is, he is a wall grass, and the wind blows wherever it falls. Zhang Jixiang has many shortcomings, but there is one biggest advantage, and that is to be loyal to him.

He can't do anything wrong, he will be betrayed by his eyes if he is weak-hearted, and at this moment he believes Zhang Jixiang's words.

"Alright, get up." Xiao Ce felt a little bored in his heart.

He didn't understand why Qin Zhao looked different from him in his dream, and his behavior was different. Of course, there is also the same place, they all gave birth to little atoms for him, and he was not ashamed or impatient when he spoke, and when he confessed to him today, the concubine opened her mouth and came, and her expression looked very sincere, but he just felt that the woman seemed to have another purpose.

Zhang Jixiang got up and stepped aside, and couldn't help wiping a cold sweat.

The current emperor is fine, and his suspicion is also very serious.

When the concubine asked the emperor for something before, most of them said it nicely, but what he said was not wrong, the emperor and the concubine were on good terms.

He just doesn't want the emperor to remember the love between him and the concubine Niangniang in the past one day, and regret doing things too much, so he will defend the concubine Niangniang everywhere.

Speaking of which, the concubine is not good to him, why is he bothering?

The next day was the Dragon Boat Festival, and Xiao Ce also got up to wash and practice according to the previous schedule, and when he saw a flower pot with grass and mugwort in front of the palace gate, he slowed down.

Zhang Jixiang explained Xiao Ce's confusion: "These are all ordered by the concubine Niangniang, the Dragon Boat Festival, these are folk customs." ”

"What else does the concubine have prepared?" Xiao Ce asked casually.

After worshipping heaven and earth, the royal hunting ground will have various activities such as willow shooting and hammering pills, and the harem concubines will enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden, and after the ministers worship, the emperor will go to the Ming Garden to watch the dragon boat race. The dragon boat race has been prepared for a long time, and the participants have literary and military generals, and the concubine Niangniang said that the dragon boat race can enhance cohesion, and this kind of event cannot be missing. In addition, the escort candidates selected by the concubine Niangniang are Cui Jieyu and Zuo Zhaorong Niangniang......" Zhang Jixiang said the general matter.

Xiao Ce didn't answer, his expression was inexplicable, and Zhang Jixiang didn't know whether his master was happy or unhappy.

"What about the concubine herself?" Just when he was worried in his heart, he only heard the master ask.
