Chapter 1538 Parallel Space (13): Capture Xiao Ce
"Which noble girl is she from?" The emperor was quite interested.
"Yongzhou Wu family! This concubine's name is Wu Xirou, and she is known as the most talented woman in Yongzhou. Wu Xiyu lost her virginity and it is impossible to enter the East Palace, but the Wu family must be comforted. If another noble daughter of the Wu family can marry Prince An, , it can also appease the Wu family, and have the best of both worlds, why not?" Xiao Ce responded.
The emperor took a deep look at Xiao Ce and said, "I thought you didn't like the imperial concubine."
Xiao Ce did not shy away from discussing Concubine Wu with the emperor: "My sons and ministers do not need to deal with the concubine. It does not matter if they like or dislike the concubine. But the key to a monarch is balance. The Wu family is an important minister and must be well appeased. Let the noble daughter of the Wu family marry into the royal family. , wouldn’t it be wonderful to get married?”
The emperor was convinced that Xiao Ce's words were very popular with him.
"Forget it, let me see how that noble girl is doing some other time. If she is a good match for Ah Yi, I will grant them a marriage. Ah Yi, this kid has indeed become a bit ridiculous in recent years. The most rare thing is that you have no selfish motives." The emperor photographed. He patted Xiao Ce on the shoulder to express that he was satisfied with his proposal.
The next day, Concubine Wu took Wu Xirou into the palace.
Concubine Wu's intention was obvious. She wanted Wu Xirou to get close to Xiao Ce first. If Xiao Ce could be attracted to her, the target could be the crown princess.
If not, then he would step back and become the Crown Prince Liangdi. This would be a helpless choice.
After Wu Guifei took Wu Xirou into the palace, she dealt with Wu Xirou and was very satisfied with Wu Xirou.
Except that her appearance is not as good as Wu Xiyu's, Wu Xirou's temperament and talents are very suitable for life in the harem. The most important thing is that Wu Xirou is not as ignorant as Wu Xiyu.
I just regretted that she had not been interested in Wu Xirou before, but in the end Wu Xiyu's chess piece was broken, so she had to turn her target to Wu Xirou.
Wu Xirou was secretly happy after knowing Concubine Wu's plan, but she did not dare to show it too obviously.
She fell in love with Xiao Ce at first sight when she was in Yongzhou, and later made up her mind to come to Kyoto to visit her relatives. Of course her target was Xiao Ce.
Not wanting her to come to Beijing, Wu Xiyu gave her a big gift.
Concubine Wu now has no one on hand, so she can only work hard on her, so her entry into the East Palace is basically a foregone conclusion.
Even if she is just being the crown prince Liangdi, she is still happy.
Coincidentally, in the evening of that day, the emperor suddenly came to Jinyang Palace for dinner.
Concubine Wu specially asked Wu Xirou to dress up, and specifically told Wu Xirou to behave well in front of the emperor.
Of course Wu Xirou knew the importance of the face-to-face meeting and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.
When the emperor appeared in Jinyang Palace, his eyes immediately fell on Wu Xirou's face.
He received the news that Wu Xirou had entered the palace because Xiao Ce specifically mentioned that he was also interested in Xiao Yi's marriage, so he wanted to get Xiao Yi's marriage settled.
If there is a suitable candidate for Princess An, there is no need to find someone else.
Concubine Wu saw that the emperor looked at Wu Xirou from time to time and looked very satisfied with Wu Xirou. She was secretly happy: "Your Majesty, I think Xirou is gentle and talented, and she is a good match for the prince."
The emperor frowned when he heard this, but he didn't expect Concubine Wu to want to send Wu Xirou to the East Palace.
Xu was preconceived. He felt that Wu Xirou's stable and self-sustaining temperament was actually more suitable for Xiao Yi. Xiao Yi is uninhibited and needs a stable princess to control him.
When Concubine Wu saw that the emperor was silent, she couldn't help but feel a little worried: "What does the emperor think?"
"The prince's marriage is decided by the prince, and I will not interfere." The emperor avoided Concubine Wu's question.
Concubine Wu Guifei and Wu Xirou looked at each other, and both aunts and nephews felt vaguely that something was wrong.
"Xirou..."
"My concubine, I won't say anything when I eat or sleep!" The emperor interrupted Concubine Wu.
Concubine Wu's face darkened slightly, feeling that the emperor's attitude was very subtle. She thought that the emperor might be angry with Wu Xirou because of Wu Xiyu's affairs. If so, it would be troublesome.
Wu Xirou's face turned pale. She thought she was sure of things, but now it seems that she is optimistic.
After the meal, the three of them had different thoughts.
The emperor whispered a few words to Concubine Wu and left Jinyang Palace.
As soon as the emperor left, Wu Xirou looked at Concubine Wu: "The emperor seems to be dissatisfied with me."
"The emperor is not dissatisfied with you, but Xiyu caused the trouble." Concubine Wu naturally put the blame on Wu Xiyu.
"Then can I still enter the East Palace?" Wu Xirou asked softly.
"The emperor has not issued an order, so we can think of a way on our own. Starting from tomorrow, we will deliver tonic soup to the East Palace every day, and meet the prince more often. As long as the prince likes you, you will have a chance to become the prince's woman. I can see it Come on, you are smarter than Xiyu, we are not in a hurry." Concubine Wu comforted her.
As long as you are in the palace, are you afraid that you won't have a chance to get close to Xiao Ce?
Wu Xirou was determined at this time. Yes, as long as she is in the palace, are you afraid that there will be no chance for Xiao Ce to fall in love with her in the future?
She always thought that a sick man like Qin Zhao was not worthy of Xiao Ce. She is a noble lady, and now that Concubine Wu is on her side, it is easy for her to win over Xiao Ce in the future.
When Xiao Ce had memories of his previous life two years ago, he had placed his own people in various palaces.
Wu Xirou's ideas were also under his control.
And Qin Zhao only knew how to eat and drink every day. At first, she thought that she would fight in the palace when she entered the palace. She didn't want to enter the East Palace for a long time and live like a pig every day.
It's a pity that Xiao Ce doesn't trust her to leave the East Palace alone.
She had just walked to the entrance of the East Palace that day when she heard a maidservant shouting loudly: "Our girl came to the East Palace to deliver soup and meals on the order of the imperial concubine. How dare you stop her?"
Qin Zhao stepped forward curiously and found that he really knew this maid, wasn't it Liuli, the maid next to Wu Xirou?
Wu Xirou scolded Liuli softly: "Liuli, you are not allowed to make noise outside the East Palace."
Liuli said in a low voice: "That's right, the girl is following the orders of the imperial concubine..."
Before she finished speaking, she saw Qin Zhao standing not far away watching the excitement.
At this time, Wu Xirou also saw Qin Zhao's presence. She frowned slightly, and for a moment she felt that Qin Zhao was different from before.
His complexion seems to be better, and he seems to have grown taller and his complexion is whiter, but at first glance, Qin Zhao is still not outstanding enough.
It's just that Qin Zhao has many servants behind him. Judging from this posture, Qin Zhao is living a good life in the East Palace.
A hint of jealousy flashed in Wu Xirou's eyes.
She is obviously the most talented woman in Yongzhou, but Qin Zhao has no sense of existence. Why did Xiao Ce bring Qin Zhao into the East Palace?
The guards also discovered Qin Zhao, and they immediately saluted Qin Zhao respectfully.
"What's going on?" Qin Zhao was very happy when he saw someone coming to find trouble.
The leading guard did not dare to hide anything and said truthfully: "Miss Wu was ordered by the Imperial Concubine to deliver soup and meals to His Highness the Crown Prince, but His Highness the Crown Prince specifically stated that the female family members cannot easily enter and leave the East Palace, so..."
