The Empress Dowager was very satisfied that Xiao Ce was so proactive, she sent the two away with a smile, and turned to Mama Li: "Have you found that Ace treats Zhao Yatou better than before?" ”

Mama Li smiled when she heard this: "The emperor is much more proactive than before. I think too, the concubine is so good, how can the emperor not see it? In a few days, the little couple will definitely be as good as before. ”

The Empress Dowager rejoiced in her heart, "I hope so." ”

That Xiao Ce accompanied Qin Zhao out of Shoukang Palace, and he didn't sit on a chariot.

Qin Zhao secretly wondered, why bother?

Let Xiao Ce send it, she still has to walk, she might as well sit back to Jinyang Palace by herself.

But she can't say this big truth, Xiao Ce walks, of course she has to accompany her to the end.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, Xiao Ce saw that Qin Zhao didn't say a word, and was immediately dissatisfied: "Has Concubine Ai always been so quiet?" ”

Qin Zhao heard the harsh rebuke in Xiao Ce's tone: "The concubine is terrified. ”

She doesn't know what to say, a companion is like a tiger, and she can't go wrong if she says less. didn't want her to stop talking, Xiao Ce could still find fault with her.

Xiao Ce stopped, his eyes were on Qin Zhao's eyes, and when he saw the confusion in Qin Zhao's eyes, he felt that he was looking for something to do.

"The concubine doesn't know what to say." Under Xiao Ce's scrutiny, Qin Zhao said.

"The concubine has changed." It took a while for Xiao Ce to exhale a breath of turbidity.

He remembered that Qin Zhao was not so quiet before, and he didn't know when Qin Zhao became less talkative when facing him.

"Concubine...... Know your mistakes. Qin Zhao was a little frightened.

Looking at Qin Zhao like this, Xiao Ce was furious for no reason: "That's it, Concubine Ai will go back by herself." ”

After saying that, he took the lead and walked forward.

Qin Zhao hurriedly sent him off: "Congratulations to the emperor!" ”

Xiao Ce heard Qin Zhao's voice and looked back at her, his eyes uncertain.

Qin Zhao didn't know what he had done wrong, so he had to maintain a respectful posture.

Fortunately, Xiao Ce didn't make it difficult for her anymore and walked away.

Because the Heart Cultivation Hall and Jinyang Palace were in the same direction, Qin Zhao was not in a hurry to step up, but was sure that Xiao Ce had gone away, so she sat on the step back to Jinyang Palace.

Baozhu can be regarded as having learned what a companion is like a companion tiger, and while he has palpitations, he also warns: "Niangniang should be careful when facing the emperor in the future." ”

The emperor is moody, he is still kind and pleasant at the last moment, but he changes his face the next moment, and he also owes the good psychological quality of the concubine, otherwise he will be scared to death by the emperor.

"The emperor is not so scary. Although the emperor has a bad temper, he will not punish people indiscriminately. Qin Zhao didn't take Baozhu's words to heart.

Although she didn't understand how she could make Xiao Ce angry if she didn't talk much, Xiao Ce had a good advantage in this person, that is, he wouldn't punish people for no reason, at most he would sulk and not speak.

She still knows a lot about Xiao Ce now.

"Isn't Niangniang not afraid of the emperor at all?" Baozhu asked curiously.

Qin Zhaowan smiled: "Sometimes I am afraid, but that is when this palace has done something wrong and has a weak heart." ”

As long as she is open in her heart and has not done anything wrong, it is unlikely that Xiao Ce will be untargeted.

"But the slave always thinks that the emperor is too harsh on Niangniang, obviously Niangniang has done a good enough, but the emperor will still find fault with Niangniang." Orb muffled.

The concubine is so good, why can't the emperor see it, and he still has to find trouble with the mother?

"Probably the emperor and the palace are not on the right track. What is the saying? The aura is wrong? Qin Zhao said and comforted Baozhu in turn: "Don't worry, the palace is fine, the emperor is so busy, do you think he is so empty and always looking for trouble in the palace?" The palace can try to meet the emperor as little as possible, it's not a problem. ”

Baozhu saw that Qin Zhao knew what he wanted, so he didn't say anything more.

That Xiao Ce returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace, but he didn't care about government affairs, and sat on the dragon chair in a daze.

Zhang Ji felt that his master had something on his mind after he broke up with the concubine, but he really didn't understand what the concubine had done wrong and upset the emperor.

Because he couldn't guess Xiao Ce's thoughts, Zhang Jixiang honestly waited on the sidelines, waiting for dispatch at any time.

About a quarter of an hour later, he heard Xiao Ce open his mouth: "Zhang Jixiang......"

"The minions are here!" Zhang Jixiang replied loudly.

Xiao Ce heard Zhang Jixiang's loud voice, and glanced at him lightly, his eyes were uncertain.

"I don't know what the emperor commands?" Zhang Jixiang asked.

"Tell me about the former concubine." Xiao Ce said that he would not deal with government affairs anymore, and made a gesture of listening.

Zhang Jixiang didn't understand what Xiao Ce meant, so he picked out some of the situations he knew.

Speaking of which, there has been nothing earth-shattering between the emperor and the concubine, the concubine is not a vain woman, and all the emperor's favors have been given to the concubine, and there seems to be nothing worth talking about.

"By the way, the Queen Mother has never liked the concubine. But when she knew that the queen mother's phoenix body was out of harmony, the concubine still lured the emperor to Cihe Palace. At that time, the emperor and the queen mother were in conflict, and they didn't see each other for some days. If it weren't for the help of the concubine, the queen mother would only be afraid that the poisoning would have been ......"

What Zhang Jixiang didn't finish, Xiao Ce understood.

Therefore, it was Qin Zhao who didn't care about her past suspicions, knowing that the Queen Mother didn't like her, but she still saved the Queen Mother's life.

"Did anything special happen between me and the concubine?" Xiao Ce felt that he hadn't heard anything, and asked.

"This ...... The minions don't know. Zhang Jixiang didn't dare to talk casually.

In the past, when the concubine and the emperor were together, they would always reject their subordinates, and the two whispered together, which was very intimate.

Other than that, nothing particularly impressive happened.

Perhaps it should be said that the relationship between the emperor and the concubine is a long stream, although the two are not vigorous, but this is not bad.

"Isn't the concubine ever arguing with me because of other harem concubines?" Xiao Ce still didn't quite believe Zhang Jixiang's words.

Qin Zhao really cared about him, how could he not care about him getting close to the other concubines?

"The concubine is not an unreasonable woman, the emperor is very good to the concubine, how can the concubine make trouble with the emperor?" Zhang Jixiang immediately replied.

Xiao Ce said in his heart, why did Qin Zhao in his dream make such a fuss?

The strange thing is that he has dreamed of Qin Zhao less often recently, and the Qin Zhao in his dream has gradually been replaced by this Qin Zhao in the harem.

It's a pity that he still doesn't understand why the two Qin Zhao are different, and why the two Qin Zhao make him feel so real.

"Did I find the person I was looking for?" Xiao Ce suddenly remembered another important matter.

Zhang Jixiang knew that the person Xiao Ce was talking about was Ding Lian, and replied truthfully: "Ding Gongzi's whereabouts are uncertain, and there is no news of Ding Gongzi so far. ”
