Chapter 596
Wu Xirou lowered her eyes and smiled, "This is what my sister should do."
She said and stepped aside, not disturbing Qin Zhao's interest in chatting with Xiao Ce.
Qin Zhao only admired Wu Xirou's concentration in his heart, so calm and generous.
Because of the tea Wu Xirou sent, Qin Zhao's talk was greatly reduced. She sat quietly beside Xiao Ce, thinking of Princess Yonghe's reminder to her, and her mind went to Princess Yongning.
"His Royal Highness has to eat on time when he is done, and the concubine will go back first."
Qin Zhao just got up, but Xiao Ce pulled her back: "Sit down!"
Qin Zhao had to sit obediently.
"I'll have dinner with Gu later." Xiao Ce's commanding tone.
"Okay, but don't let the concubine wait too long, Your Highness, the concubine is hungry now." As soon as Qin Zhao's voice fell, Xiao Ce left what he was doing and pulled her up.
Qin Zhao: …
Zhang Jixiang didn't expect his master to have dinner so early today, so he had to be in a hurry and ordered someone to prepare the meal temporarily.
Zhang Jixiang's speed is still fast, after about a quarter of an hour, dishes will be served one after another.
During meals, Qin Zhao was rarely attentive and gave Xiao Ce food from time to time.
When Qin Zhao saw Xiao Ce's slightly raised lips, he understood that the crown prince enjoyed her service very much.
After that, she said a lot of sweet words to Xiao Ce. Although Xiao Ce didn't show it on his face, Qin Zhao could feel his happy mood.
So it's not difficult to coax Eldest Prince Xiao well, anyway, he just likes to listen to good words, even if she doesn't care about what she says, it will make him quite useful.
Before returning to the Mochizuki residence, Qin Zhao still did not forget to pour Xiao Ce Mi soup: "Your Highness must take care of your body, and you need to wait for meals at a certain time, otherwise His Highness is not in good health, and the most sad thing is your concubine."
"Did you take the wrong medicine today?" Xiao Ce was not stupid, of course he could see that Qin Zhao was very attentive today.
"Forget it, when I didn't say anything, just do whatever Your Highness likes." Qin Zhao waved his hand and walked away gracefully.
"Dead girl!" Xiao Ce whispered while looking at Qin Zhao's back.
Although Xiao Ce's voice was low, Qin Zhao could hear it clearly. She walked away slowly and quickly disappeared from Xiao Ce's sight.
Seeing that Xiao Ce had been staring at Qin Zhao's back, Wu Xirou reminded: "There are still a lot of things to be done, so hurry up, Your Highness, or you will have to stay up all night again."
Xiao Ce turned around and went to the study, and asked casually, "How sincere do you think Qin Liangdi's words were?"
"Sister Qin is looking at the consolation, but it is for His Highness's sake. It is true that Sister Qin cares about His Highness." Wu Xirou told the truth.
If she said these sweet words can make Xiao Ce listen, then she is willing to say it, but she is not Qin Zhao, so Xiao Ce can't listen.
"She seems dishonest when she speaks. Gu will never know which of her words is true and which is false." Xiao Ce shook his head: "Don't talk about her."
Qin Zhao hadn't gone far, and when he heard Xiao Ce's words, he couldn't help feeling wronged. Listening to Xiao Ce's tone, it seemed that she was a scumbag, and she obviously said it to make him happy, thinking that he liked to hear sweet words.
Well, next time, she will be more serious and won't make him drink the soup, it's because Xiao Ce's suspicion is too serious.
After returning to Wangyueju, Qin Zhao asked Baoyu to check the details of Princess Yongning.
I thought that Baoyu would find out the news the next day, but who knew what this girl was capable of, she went to her sister to find out some news that night.
"Princess Yongning's biological mother was a maid who served Concubine Rong. She had an overnight relationship with the emperor. The day the maid gave birth to Princess Yongning, she collapsed and died." Baoyu told Qin Zhao what she had heard.
"Isn't Concubine Rong the biological mother of the third prince?" Qin Zhao remembered that he had met Concubine Rong from afar.
She only knew that Concubine Rong was usually a low-key person, and she seldom came out to walk around, and she was a person who had no sense of existence in the harem. I don't want Princess Yongning's biological mother to have served Concubine Rong, which is interesting.
"Exactly! Concubine Rong is a kind person. After Princess Yongning was born, no one took care of her. She wanted to raise Princess Yongning herself, but the emperor gave Princess Yongning to Concubine Wu to be raised. It’s just that the good times didn’t last long. After Yang Xiuyi raised her for a year, she felt that Princess Yongning was unlucky, so she abandoned Princess Yongning. In the end, it was the Empress Dowager who saw Princess Yongning as pitiful and kept her in the Cihe Palace for a few years. When she was six years old, Princess Yongning moved to Yongning Zhai." Baoyu told everything about Princess Yongning when she was a child.
"I moved into Yongning Zhai when I was six years old. At that time, Princess Yongning was still young, right? It sounds pitiful." Qin Zhao thought thoughtfully.
Princess Yongning sounds like an ominous person. Her biological mother died tragically when she was born. In addition, her biological mother had a low status and no one to rely on. Later, she was kicked around like a ball.
No matter who encounters such a thing, it is impossible to remain indifferent, not to mention that Princess Yongning was only six years old when she lived alone, which is somewhat similar to what happened to Princess Yonghe.
"I see, Princess Yongning looks pretty good. She and Princess Yongchun are still good sisters." Baoyu disagreed.
She didn't feel sorry for Princess Yongning anyway.
"You said that the empress dowager raised Princess Yongning for a few years, but why didn't she support her later?" Qin Zhao asked inexplicably.
Today, Princess Yongning also went to Cihe Palace to say goodbye to the Queen Mother. She felt that the Queen Mother did not seem too close to Princess Yongning.
"It seems that because the empress dowager raised Princess Yongning in poor health for a few years, the emperor also thought that Princess Yongning was an ominous person, so he vacated Yongning Zhai, and Princess Yongning lived by herself from then on. The slaves have limited knowledge, and how to ask for more details. More to be investigated." Baoyu replied.
"What else?" Qin Zhao felt that the Queen Mother was in good health, not like she was in bad health.
She doesn't believe the ominous man, but there are people in the harem who believe it.
"Yeah, I heard that after the Empress Dowager sent away Princess Yongning, her body got better." Baoyu said again.
"I have to ask the Empress Dowager about this tomorrow." Qin Zhao felt more and more that Princess Yongning was more complicated than she thought.
The impression of Princess Yongning is that she is indifferent to the world, has a soft temper, and has an excellent temper. Could it be that Princess Yongning has been blackened many years ago?
She thought that Princess Yongning, whom Princess Yonghe had dealt with a few years ago, was more real, at least that Princess Yongning was not a good stubborn.
Early in the morning the next day, Qin Zhao went to the Cihe Palace to greet the Empress Dowager and asked about this incidentally.
"If you don't mention this, Ai's family forgot. At first, Ai's family felt that Yongning's child was pitiful, and no one wanted to raise that child. After all, Yongning was always in the blood of the royal family, so Ai's family decided to bring her to Cihe. Gong Yangda. How do you know that during the time of raising Yongning, Aijia's body was good and bad, and he didn't recover after a long time, so he had no energy..."
