Chapter 1166: Concubine Xian and Qin Zhao compete for favor

The harem was very calm for the next two days, until Xiao Ce turned over Cui Jieyu's sign again.

The next morning, a rare guest came to Jinyang Palace, it was Wu Xirou, who had been walking around Jinyang Palace for a long time.

Although the two did not officially tear their faces, they are all smart people and know that many things cannot go back to the past, so they also avoid the embarrassment of taking pictures.

This time, Wu Xirou suddenly appeared in Jinyang Palace, and Qin Zhao's first reaction was that there must be a demon when something goes wrong.

"Why did Concubine Xian have time to walk around the palace today?" Qin Zhao asked with a light smile, his attitude was lukewarm.

Wu Xirou immediately noticed Qin Zhao's change in title, Qin Zhao used to call her sister, not Concubine Xian. In front of her, Qin Zhao would not call himself the palace, and today this self-title has also changed.

She suddenly felt that she shouldn't come this time, even if she wanted to provoke a dispute between Qin Zhao and Cui Jieyu, but Qin Zhao was not a fool, how could she not see through her scheming?

"I haven't been to Jinyang Palace for too long, so I suddenly remembered my sister, so I came to see my sister." Wu Xirou smiled slightly: "Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, the little atom is a year old." ”

Qin Zhaocai didn't believe that Wu Xirou came over and just lamented to her that the years passed too quickly, but Wu Xirou didn't say it, and she didn't bother to ask.

The two chatted with each other and without a pair, and then Qin Zhao heard Xiao Ce's footsteps approaching, and secretly thought that this was also a coincidence, Xiao Ce, a busy man, actually came to Jinyang Palace to walk around.

Interestingly, this time, Xiao Ce first went to the East Side Hall to sit for a while before coming to her main hall to walk around.

Because she has good hearing, she naturally knew Xiao Ce's movements at the first time, but Wu Xirou didn't know.

As soon as Xiao Ce appeared, Wu Xirou happily stepped forward, just stuck in front of Qin Zhao, and Qin Zhao also fell behind Wu Xirou.

Qin Zhao was not blind, of course she saw this detail, but she was unmoved.

Her current strategy is very simple, she only needs to have her own place in the harem, not to make enemies with Xiao Ce, and she doesn't have to deliberately please Xiao Ce.

Wu Xirou's deliberate flattery seemed to her to be superfluous, and she didn't feel anything.

Xiao Ce clearly felt Wu Xirou's joy when she saw him, on the other hand, Qin Zhao stood quietly behind Wu Xirou, and after greeting him, he sat back in his place.

Compared with Wu Xirou's warm welcome, Qin Zhao seemed too calm and self-controlled.

"What is Concubine Ai doing?" Xiao Ce asked casually.

Wu Xirou thought that Xiao Ce was asking herself, and she answered with a smile: "The concubine was chatting with Sister Qin about family life, and when she was talking, she didn't want the emperor to come." ”

Xiao Ce's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

He asked yes Qin Zhao, Qin Zhao's answer was snatched away by Wu Xirou and he was not displeased, wouldn't this woman fight?

Wu Xirou soon found that Xiao Ce's face was not very good-looking, she didn't know that she had offended Xiao Ce, so she had nothing to say: "Why does the emperor have time to move around today?" ”

Xiao Ce was a little unhappy when he heard her familiar tone.

Listening to Wu Xirou's tone, it seems that Wu Xirou is the master of Jinyang Palace. It was Wu Xirou who answered, and it was Wu Xirou who grabbed the words, and Qin Zhao, the hostess of the main hall, didn't say a word.

"I'm here to see the concubine." Xiao Ce replied stiffly, his gaze fixed on Qin Zhao's lowered side face.

As if sensing his gaze, Qin Zhao looked up and asked, "Didn't the emperor come to see Sister Cui?" ”

Then stop by to see the little atoms.

Saying that he came to see her, she preferred to believe that he had come to trouble her.

Xiao Ce's deep eyes narrowed: "Do you know that I went to the East Side Palace?" ”

It seems that she is paying attention to his movements.

Qin Zhao was speechless for a while, she forgot that she had outstanding hearing, but others were not like her.

Xiao Ce went to the East Side Hall before, and no one came to inform her at all, so how did she know that Xiao Ce went to the East Side Hall?

"Did the emperor really go to the East Side Palace? Look at it, the concubines know that the emperor's favorite is Sister Cui. Qin Zhao stiffly rounded his words back.

Xiao Ce sat down in the vacant seat next to Qin Zhao, feeling that this topic should be stopped. If Qin Zhao was jealous and entangled in this topic, he couldn't resist it.

He was about to change the topic, Qin Zhao said again: "Sister Cui is empathetic, gentle and considerate, don't say that the emperor likes it, and the concubines also like it." ”

She looked at Baozhu and said, "You go and bring the dim sum sent by Sister Cui to the emperor and taste it." ”

Baozhu left in response, and soon Baozhu brought a basin of snacks.

Qin Zhao took a piece and handed it to Xiao Ce's lips: "The emperor tried it, it's delicious." ”

Xiao Ce was not used to being fed, so he took a piece and tried it before commenting: "The dim sum made by Baoyu is delicious." ”

After hearing this, Qin Zhao smiled and quipped: "When does the emperor plan to return Baoyu to his concubines?" ”

With a talent like Baoyu, she is reluctant to give it to Xiao Ce.

Xiao Ce hesitated for a moment before saying, "Let Baoyu return to Jinyang Palace in two days." ”

It can only be said that the dishes made by Baoyu are really delicious, and his actions are also steady, and he is a little reluctant to send people back.

"That's good, the concubines are afraid that Baoyu is too good, and the emperor is reluctant to let him go." Qin Zhao said, looking at Wu Xi, who had quieted down on the side, and said, "Why is Concubine Xian so quiet all of a sudden?" ”

Wu Xirou was sitting on the side as a background, she wanted to interject, but Xiao Ce and Qin Zhao only cared about chatting with each other, where did they notice her?

"Listening to the emperor and Sister Qin talking, I was fascinated." Wu Xirou replied with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the draft is underway, and the Queen Mother said that the draft will be held after the Mid-Autumn Festival. The concubines want to know what kind of beauty the emperor likes, and they will know it when the time comes. Qin Zhao looked at Wu Xirou as he spoke: "Concubine Xian's time to enter the palace is not short, and the draft affairs will be cumbersome at that time, so let Concubine Xian also come to help the concubines, right?" ”

Anyway, it's right to pull Wu Xirou down to the level, and she can be a little more relaxed at that time.

Xiao Ce didn't expect Qin Zhao's thinking to jump so much, and suddenly mentioned the draft. He thought that this matter was handled by the Empress Dowager Guo, and he didn't have to bother.

Qin Zhao suddenly asked him bluntly what kind of beauty he liked, and his expression was still so frank, obviously he didn't care whether he was selected or not.

"I'm not going to ask about the draft." Xiao Ce opened his lips indifferently, and his expression could not show joy or anger.

Wu Xirou also replied: "It's my honor to be able to help Sister Qin. ”

It's better to get rid of all the young and beautiful so that there is no threat.

"Since the emperor doesn't care about the draft, then Concubine Lao Xian will help the palace when he arrives. Daqi has not held a draft for several years, and this time it will definitely be able to select many young and beautiful beauties to serve the emperor in the palace. Qin Zhao said slowly.

Wu Xirou didn't know what Qin Zhao's intention was when she said this, maybe Qin Zhao was testing her reaction, or maybe she was testing Xiao Ce's reaction.

Xiao Ce felt that this topic was meaningless, and suddenly felt bored, so he got up and planned to leave.
