Chapter 1545 Parallel Space (20): Only One Person
"Of course I'm proud of it. After all, Ace dotes on me like this. As long as I think about being able to marry a good man like Ace, I can wake up laughing even in my sleep." Qin Zhao threw another grape into his mouth , with a careless and naughty look: "A fortune teller once said that I was destined to be rich and noble, but now it seems that what he said is true."
Wu Xirou, who used to look down on her, now eagerly came to see her and was humiliated by her words. Even Wu Xirou herself didn't realize that she had fallen behind from the moment she asked to see her.
"By the way, Miss Wu has been waiting for me outside the East Palace for an hour today, just to see me. I feel sorry for Miss Wu. I couldn't bear to see Miss Wu make this trip in vain, so I took the time to see her." Qin Zhao said again. He poked Wu Xirou's sore spot.
When Wu Xirou heard this, she was not angry but smiled: "Hasn't Miss Qin ever thought about why someone as noble as the Crown Prince would fall in love with a mediocre woman like me?"
She has dealt with Qin Zhao and knows that Qin Zhao is a woman with low self-esteem and even a weak character. Such people are suspicious by nature and cannot bear no matter how much grace they receive.
As long as she arouses Qin Zhao's suspicion, the relationship between Qin Zhao and Xiao Ce will not last long.
If it were Qin Zhao in the past, he would indeed have doubts about himself because of Wu Xirou's words. It's a pity that Qin Zhao has traveled through time at this time, and her low self-esteem and cowardice are what she despises the most.
"No matter how mediocre I am, A Ce still likes me, so what can I do? What's more, am I more mediocre than you, Wu?" Qin Zhao looked at Wu Xirou with a half-smile: "You think that a man who can order music, chess, calligraphy and painting must be Do you want to like you? Where do you get the face? Obviously I am just an ordinary woman trapped in the inner house, but my horizons are only a little bit big. I always see only the little fight between women, but I still think so highly of myself. I still I really can’t understand it, Wu, where did you get the confidence to think you are superior to others?”
Qin Zhao's words made Wu Xirou's expression change again and again. She had always been proud of herself as a talented woman. This was the first time someone told her that playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting was not worth showing off.
"I can play chess, calligraphy and painting, can you Qin Zhao?" Wu Xirou took a long time to say this.
Qin Zhao laughed when he heard this: "If you know how to play chess, calligraphy and painting, will men like you? I don't know how to play chess, calligraphy and painting, but Ace still won't marry me unless I am. Do you think this comparison is ironic?"
Wu Xirou was speechless for a moment. She found that there was nothing wrong with Qin Zhao's words.
She is obviously a noble daughter of the Wu family, capable of playing chess, calligraphy and painting, and is the most talented woman in Yongzhou. However, Xiao Ce has never looked at such an outstanding woman.
Qin Zhao is so mediocre, he doesn't know anything, and his appearance is not that outstanding, but Xiao Ce likes Qin Zhao.
Is this comparison ironic?
It seemed ironic to her.
So she really wanted to ask Xiao Ce in person, what did he like about Qin Zhao?
That day, Xiao Ce learned that Wu Xirou had entered Wangyue Residence. He was afraid that Qin Zhao would suffer a loss, so he rushed to Wangyue Residence immediately, and then he heard the conversations between Qin Zhao and Wu Xirou.
He felt that Qin Zhao's words spoke to his heart.
"There are so many talented women in the world who can play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and there are quite a few in Kyoto, but none of them interests me. There is only one Qin Zhao that I like, and it can only be Qin Zhao. Maybe I can't tell her what she is. No matter how good it is, I just like her."
Xiao Ce's voice sounded out of thin air, Wu Xirou's expression froze in an instant, and Qin Zhao's eyes lit up, "Aren't you busy? Why are you here?"
When Xiao Ce saw Qin Zhao wanting to get out of bed, he quickly stopped her: "You're feeling unwell, lie down and don't get out of bed."
"It's just a period. Every woman has these days. I'm not that fragile..."
Before Qin Zhao could finish speaking, Xiao Ce picked him up and put him back on the bed.
Qin Zhao couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, knowing that he couldn't stop Xiao Ce, so he let him go.
"I heard that you had guests. I was afraid that someone would disturb you and take a rest, so I came here to take a look."
Xiao Ce's words were ostensibly meant for Qin Zhao, but anyone with a discerning eye would know that they were meant to knock Wu Xirou.
Wu Xirou is a smart person, how come she doesn't know that Xiao Ce is trying to beat her to be more honest?
Xiao Ce also said just now that Qin Zhao couldn't say what was good about him, but he just got into Xiao Ce's heart.
It's ridiculous that she specifically wanted to ask why Xiao Ce treated Qin Zhao so differently. She is so outstanding, why doesn't Xiao Ce face her seriously?
She stood up to say goodbye and walked a few steps away. She couldn't help but look back at Xiao Ce's back and asked, "If His Royal Highness had never met Miss Qin, would it be possible for him to fall in love with a civilian girl?"
Xiao Ce never looked back. He looked at Qin Zhao steadily for a long time before saying, "If there were no Qin Zhao in this world, I would be alone in this life. Fortunately, she is here."
Wu Xirou smiled sadly.
So without Qin Zhao, it wouldn't be her, right? Xiao Ce has only fallen in love with one person in his life. If it weren't for Qin Zhao, there would be no other woman.
She left Wangyue Residence in despair. Suddenly all her unwillingness disappeared. Suddenly she felt that it didn't matter who she married.
Because if she didn't marry Xiao Ce, it would be the same for her to marry any other man.
She wouldn't be happy if she wasn't Xiao Ce, and Xiao Ce wouldn't marry someone other than Qin Zhao. Love in the world is not that complicated, it is only about yourself.
Returning to Jinyang Palace, Wu Xirou said to Concubine Wu: "Concubine Wu, I have figured it out and I am willing to marry Prince An."
"Have you really figured it out?" Concubine Wu didn't expect Wu Xirou to give up on Xiao Ce so easily, even though she still liked the Prince of the East Palace so much before today.
"Well, it's good to marry Prince An." Wu Xirou was thinking, she didn't like Xiao Yi anyway, and she didn't care how many women Xiao Yi had.
After marrying Xiao Yi, she could still stand close enough to Xiao Ce and accompany Xiao Ce in this way, which she felt was good.
"Did Mrs. Qin do something to you?" Concubine Wu felt that Wu Xirou's attitude changed too quickly.
Wu Xirou smiled and shook her head: "She didn't do anything, she just woke me up. I can never be with His Highness the Crown Prince in this life. In this case, it is better to marry His Highness Prince An, so that I can still contribute to the Wu family. This is a good thing.”
Concubine Wu took a deep look at Wu Xirou and said, "You child is living a clear life. This is a good thing. My aunt has wronged you. If I could take you to Beijing as soon as possible..."
Maybe Xiao Ce will fall in love with Wu Xirou, and maybe the position of the Crown Princess of the East Palace will belong to Wu Xirou.
Wu Xirou understood what Concubine Wu had not finished saying, but there were not so many what-ifs or what-ifs in this world. Xiao Ce also said that if it wasn't Qin Zhao, it couldn't be another woman.
Whether she came early or late, Xiao Ce would not like her.
No matter how late Qin Zhao comes, Xiao Ce will still fall in love with Qin Zhao.
After figuring it out, Wu Xirou left the palace that day and lived back in Zhao Mansion.
