Chapter 973

Qin Zhao is not used to this.

It is normal for Xiao Ce to react like this. After all, he has an old-fashioned temperament. He indulged in it during the day. It seems reasonable that he could not accept such a change in himself.

She didn't believe it anymore, and he didn't plan to see her on New Year's Day, which was a family reunion day.

"If the emperor doesn't come, the maiden doesn't seem to be unhappy." Baolan whispered to Baohong: "The maiden's temperament is really open-minded."

Change to other harem concubines, probably will be sad again?

"Why should you be unhappy? The emperor is a busy person, so he seldom walks around the harem. Occasionally, I give him a little free time. This time, the emperor was angry, and he said it, just wait until the emperor wants to understand. It's the same as usual." Orb answered.

She doesn't understand why this kind of thing is so hard to understand. Empress is not like other harem concubines who only depend on the emperor to live, and empress is not the kind of woman who can't live without the emperor.

Niangniang is very assertive and will find her own fun.

"Niangniang is the most special woman I've ever seen, and the emperor would not be willing to let her go." Baohong turned to Qin Zhao in her heart, and naturally felt that Qin Zhao was fine.

Baolan echoed, "Yes, seeing the nervousness of the Empress today means that the Emperor is just an ordinary man in front of the Empress."

It is precisely because the emperor regarded the empress as his own that he would have the joys, sorrows and sorrows of ordinary people.

Qin Zhao saw that the three treasures were discussing this matter, and felt that women were still gossiping.

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

It was difficult to get the time for the end of the year, and he had already taken a rest. Xiao Ce, who had been busy for a whole year, finally relaxed. But he didn't want to find Qin Zhao, so he didn't know where else he could go except Jinyang Palace.

It was Zhang Jixiang who made a suggestion and asked him if he wanted to go to Zhongcui Palace for a walk.

Xiao Ce didn't say anything, and went straight to Zhong Cui Palace.

When Wu Xirou heard that Xiao Ce was coming, she was overjoyed. She stepped forward to pick him up and led Xiao Ce in: "The emperor came just right, and the concubine just made a pot of hot tea."

Xiao Ce smelled the aroma of tea, and immediately smelled that it was his favorite: "Longjing before the rain."

I didn't expect Wu Xirou to make this pot of tea, as if she knew that he would come.

He looked at Wu Xirou and met Wu Xirou's gentle eyebrows.

"The concubine thought that if the emperor was free, he might come to the concubine for a walk, so he made this pot of tea in advance. Just thinking about it, the emperor really came."

It was as if she and Xiao Ce had a heart-to-heart connection.

Xiao Ce took a seat and took a sip of tea, feeling the taste of the tea entangled on the tip of his tongue: "Good tea."

"As long as the emperor likes it." Wu Xirou smiled contentedly.

She really doesn't want much, as long as Xiao Ce thinks of her occasionally, come over to see her, and have the opportunity to sit face to face with him like this and talk, she will be satisfied in this life.

After that, Xiao Ce didn't speak, but occasionally poured and drank himself, as if he had something on his mind.

What a shrewd woman is Wu Xirou? She saw through Xiao Ce's absent-mindedness at a glance.

"Is the emperor thinking about Sister Qin?" Wu Xirou broke the silence, only to feel her heart tightening instantly.

The man he loves the most is opposite, and he is close to him, but he is thinking of another woman. She knew this deeply, but there was nothing she could do about it.

Xiao Ce took a while to say, "It's just that some things can't be figured out."

He couldn't figure out why he was so sensible, why he still fell into Qin Zhao's gentle village. If Qin Zhao was the legendary demon girl, he would only be afraid that he would become a foolish monarch who only values ​​beauty, but fortunately Qin Zhao is not.

"Things that can't be figured out can be put aside for the time being. The concubine knows that the things that the emperor can't figure out are actually related to my sister, right?" Wu Xirou said in a light tone.

Xiao Ce glanced at Wu Xirou, but did not deny it.

"The emperor's whole heart is devoted to state affairs, and occasionally he is troubled by private affairs. It must be because of Sister Qin." Wu Xirou said again with certainty.

At this point, Xiao Ce is not good at hiding himself, or in other words, Xiao Ce never thought to hide his feelings for Qin Zhao.

"Really?" Xiao Ce murmured silently.

If Wu Xirou didn't say it, he didn't realize this.

Therefore, apart from state affairs, he was only interested in Qin Zhao, and only Qin Zhao could affect his emotions. As a monarch, he felt that this might not be a good thing, but if that person was Qin Zhao, he felt that he didn't need to be too entangled.

"The emperor always has Sister Qin in mind, which is actually a good thing. With a temperament like the emperor, if he hadn't met someone as transparent as Sister Qin, the emperor might not have opened himself up." Wu Xirou felt this.

Because in the previous life, Xiao Ce had the same interests as her, but he was too cold, and he didn't have the warmth of an ordinary person like now. This is Qin Zhao's ability to make people like Xiao Ce more human.

It was because of the memory of her previous life that she had seen Xiao Ce in the most ruthless form, so she knew how good Xiao Ce was now.

"What you said makes sense." Xiao Ce looked at Wu Xiju and said, "Qin Zhao told me that the relationship should be one-to-one, so I won't have feelings for other women except for her."

The way Wu Xirou looked at him made him have something to say clearly.

"The concubine didn't want to intervene between the emperor and sister Qin, but she liked the emperor, and the concubine couldn't control herself. The emperor doesn't need to be under pressure, it's just a matter for the concubine alone. I won't be sorry for Sister Qin, but I won't be sorry for myself." Wu Xirou said firmly: "I can drink tea with the emperor like now, the concubines will feel very lucky. Otherwise, the emperor should treat the concubines as friends, then There will be no more pressure on the emperor."

Xiao Ce was speechless for a moment.

Wu Xirou has a stubborn temper. He wants to persuade her to turn back in time, but she has a lot of great reasons.

But this time, Zhong Cui Palace still has something to gain. Wu Xirou's words made him think about one thing. It's a good thing that Qin Zhao has a lot of influence on him. He doesn't need to resist too much, just let it go.

"The emperor's heart is not here either. Let's just say that the concubine is going to Jinyang Palace, and the emperor will accompany the concubine." Wu Xirou made another suggestion.

Since Xiao Ce's heart is not here, it is better to take Xiao Ce to the place he wants to go and see the person he wants to see.

Xiao Ce just wanted to see Qin Zhao, and after hearing what Wu Xirou said, he just hit it off with her.

In this way, the two left Zhong Cui Palace and went directly to Jinyang Palace.

Qin Zhao was still indoors when he heard the footsteps of the two approaching. After a while, Zhang Jixiang's sharp voice sounded: "The emperor is here!"

With Zhang Jixiang's voice so loud, Qin Zhao had to lead the crowd out to greet him.

She just bent over, and Xiao Ce took her hand: "No need to be more polite."

"When the emperor was in Zhongcui Palace, he always thought of Sister Qin, so I accompanied the emperor to come here and have a meal here. Will my sister dislike it?" Wu Xirou joked.
