"Just because I saved the life of the concubine, the concubine wants to make a promise with herself?!" Xiao Ce felt that this was also reasonable.

I don't know how I was so confused at the beginning, and I really accepted a married woman into the harem.

If he was attracted by Qin Zhao's beauty, then he would never believe it. If he just wanted to be responsible for Qin Zhao, it would make sense.

"That's not the case, at that time, the queen mother arranged for the concubine Niangniang to leave the palace, and it was the emperor who chased him out of the palace, and accepted the concubine Niangniang as Liangdi without the consent of the concubine. When the concubine Niangniang knew that she had become a good person, she was also shocked. Zhang Jixiang felt that he should speak fairly.

That time it was really not the concubine Niangniang pestering the emperor, but the emperor insisted on letting the concubine stay in the palace.

"Is that really what you say? Why did I want her to be a good woman? Xiao Ce felt that this was not in line with his character.

"The emperor said that he wanted to take care of the concubine for the rest of his life." Zhang Jixiang said.

The concubine also said that she didn't need the emperor's care, but the emperor just felt that she had the responsibility and obligation to take care of the concubine.

It's just that the emperor doesn't remember this incident at the beginning.

Xiao Ce frowned when he heard this.

So did the beginning of his relationship with Qin Zhao really just start with responsibility?

"If I have said these words, I must do what I say." Xiao Ce pondered for a moment, and finally was relieved.

He understands his own temperament, and he is not a man who will be mistaken by beauty. But he left Qin Zhao in the palace at the beginning, just to think about the beginning and the end, Xu felt that Qin Zhao was pitiful, so he decided to keep her in the harem and promised to take care of her for a lifetime, so that he could pass the threshold in his heart.

After that, he asked Zhang Jixiang some things about Qin Zhao, and felt more and more that Qin Zhao, a woman, was indeed a little pitiful before, and it was a miracle that she became a concubine today.

That night, Zhang Jixiang came over with the green head card as usual, and Xiao Ce didn't look at it, so he asked him to take the sign down.

Zhang Jixiang was about to take away the green head card, but who knew that the Empress Dowager Guo suddenly came.

"If the emperor doesn't turn over the brand, the mourning family can do it for him." Empress Dowager Guo said in a deep voice.

Xiao Ce didn't expect Empress Dowager Guo to come again.

It's his business whether he turns over the cards or not, and the Empress Dowager Guo actually wants to take care of this kind of thing, is it because he is too obedient to the Empress Dowager during this time?

"I think the Queen Mother should take care of her illness, and the most important thing is to recuperate her body first, and she can't interfere with other trivial matters." Xiao Ce's lower palate line collapsed very tightly, and he looked indifferent when he looked at Empress Dowager Guo.

Empress Dowager Guo didn't let it go: "This is a major event related to the fortunes of the Great Qi Dynasty, not just a trivial matter as the emperor said......"

"Then according to the queen mother's meaning, which concubine's sign should I turn over?!" Xiao Ce didn't have the patience to wait for Empress Dowager Guo to finish speaking, and asked as if it were true or false.

"Concubine Xian is good, Cui Jieyu is not bad, there are other young and beautiful women in the harem, they are strong and healthy, and they can spread the branches and leaves for the royal family!" Empress Dowager Guo originally wanted to only mention Cui Jieyu, but it was not easy to make it too obvious.

"The Queen Mother's words also make sense." Xiao Ce said, and ordered Zhang Jixiang to bring the green head card over.

Empress Dowager Guo was overjoyed when she saw this, she thought that Xiao Ce was going to turn over Cui Jieyu or Wu Xirou's brand.

Who knew that Xiao Ce didn't look at the green head card that Zhang Jixiang brought over, so he turned over a card casually, and the owner of this green head card turned out to be Qin Zhao.

Empress Dowager Guo's face changed slightly, "Emperor, you?!" ”

Why is it Qin Zhao's green card? It's not that Xiao Ce deliberately responded to her.

The queen mother said that there are many young and beautiful women in the harem, who are strong and healthy, and can spread the branches and leaves for the royal family. In this case, I can find a sleeping chamber to satisfy the queen mother. Xiao Ce hooked his lips slowly.

"But the concubine's body is damaged and she can't spread the branches for the royal family......" Empress Dowager Guo blurted out.

Xiao Ce felt ridiculous when he heard this, and he asked lightly: "Then how did Ah Yuan come from?!" ”

Empress Dowager Guo was speechless for a while and couldn't answer.

Xiao Ce didn't want to entangle with the Empress Dowager Guo anymore, so he ordered lightly: "The Empress Dowager's phoenix body is against harmony, so she should have a good rest in the Cihe Palace. ”

His gaze paused on Nian Yun's face for a moment, clearly meaningful.

How could Empress Dowager Guo not know that Xiao Ce wanted to take Nian Yun to open the knife? Among all the people who served her, only Nian Yun won her heart the most, and she was naturally reluctant to see Nian Yun being sent away.

She didn't dare to risk Nianyun, so she had to leave the Heart Cultivation Palace.

As soon as Empress Dowager Guo left, Zhang Jixiang asked, "Then does the emperor really want to order the concubine to sleep tonight?" ”

He knew that the emperor was clearly deliberately angry with the Empress Dowager, and it happened that the Empress Dowager didn't like the concubine, so the emperor accurately flipped over the brand of the concubine.

"Can this be fake?" Xiao Ce's eyes didn't show any emotion.

Zhang Jixiang didn't dare to ask again, and then went to Jinyang Palace to convey his will.

As soon as Qin Zhao saw Zhang Jixiang, she found that his mood was not too high, and she didn't want to pursue it, but Zhang Jixiang had helped her a few times recently, so she asked a lot: "Zhang Jixiang, do you have something on your mind?" ”

Zhang Jixiang shook his head: "What is on the mind of the slave?" ”

If others heard this, they might also think that this was the case, but Qin Zhao knew in an instant: "Your heart is related to the emperor?" ”

Zhang Jixiang was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Qin Zhao to be able to see through him at a glance.

"It seems to have something to do with the emperor." Qin Zhao didn't continue the topic.

When she saw Xiao Ce in the study, Xiao Ce was writing, looking very focused.

She stood silently beside Xiao Ce, saw Xiao Ce's handwriting, and then looked at Xiao Ce's expression, and instantly understood in her heart: "The pen is hesitant, the handwriting is vain and weak, and the emperor has something on his mind." ”

Xiao Ce turned his eyes to look at Qin Zhao, facing her clear pupils like water, he opened his lips indifferently: "What do you know?" ”

"The concubine is a woman's family, she doesn't understand the family and the country, and she has been trapped in a woman's backyard for half her life, so she naturally doesn't know as much as the emperor." Qin Zhao didn't argue with Xiao Ce either.

What kind of heart Xiao Ce has, she is not qualified to delve into it, and people like him who care about the world don't need someone to understand him.

"Sharp teeth." Xiao Ce's gaze was fixed on Qin Zhao's red lips, and he suddenly remembered the scene of their kiss last time.

Before he could think deeply, he suddenly took Qin Zhao into his arms and kissed her roughly......

Qin Zhao's resistance was only for a moment, and she quickly gave up the struggle, passively bearing his rudeness and rudeness.

This is a kiss without any emotion, let alone beauty, Qin Zhao feels that Xiao Ce is just using her to vent his anger.

To put it simply, she is a tool man.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Zhang Jixiang hurriedly took everyone away, so that Qin Zhao and Xiao Ce had space to be alone.

After that kiss, it was not Qin Zhao who was embarrassed, but Xiao Ce.
