Chapter 619 Heart Break

   Xiao Ce sneered and hooked his lips: "You mean you want me to go?"

   Qin Zhao certainly hoped that Xiao Ce would hurry up with his business, so as not to know that she was drinking and preaching to her.

   But she didn't dare to tell the truth, so she replied: "I finally saw the emperor, why would I be willing to rush the emperor away? The emperor is all good, but the suspicion is too serious."

   "It's clearly your own dishonesty, and you blame me for suspecting that you are seriously ill?" Xiao Ce said, and went to check whether there was any problem with the glass of water that Qin Zhao drank.

   He looked at the teacup carefully and found nothing unusual.

   "Baoyu, the emperor is here, why don't you bring the fruit?" Qin Zhao said and then instructed Baozhu: "Go and make two cups of tea, the emperor and I will drink it later."

   Chewing tea leaves can remove the smell of alcohol, she can give it a try.

   The two treasures left, Baoyu quickly brought up the fruit plate, Qin Zhao took the fruit to eat, and when Baozhu brought the tea, she couldn't wait to drink the tea again, and by the way, she chewed the tea leaves.

  Xiao Ce frowned at her busy appearance: "Qin Zhao, do you have a problem?!"

   I can't blame him for thinking too much, this woman speaks and does things in a strange way.

   She never drank tea at night before, saying that drinking tea would make her so excited that she would lose sleep. Why is she so uncharacteristic today?

   Qin Zhao hurriedly shook his head: "I'm fine, I'm fine."

   Sure enough, chewing tea is useful, she can feel that she is more cheerful now.

   "Are you chewing tea?!" Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao as if he had seen a ghost.

   "Suddenly I found that the tea leaves sent by the emperor are very delicious. The more you chew, the sweeter and delicious." Qin Zhao smiled.

  Xiao Ce couldn't bear to look directly at the tea leaves on Qin Zhao's teeth.

  Qin Zhao chewed a lot of tea that night, which did not let Xiao Ce discover the fact that she was drinking, but the result was that she was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep.

   Afraid of disturbing Xiao Ce to rest, she simply stood up and said, "The emperor should go to bed first, I'll go outside for a couple of laps and then sleep."

   Without waiting for Xiao Ce to agree, she ran out of the bedroom and ran in Jinyang Palace.

   When she stopped after a dozen laps, she found that Xiao Ce was waiting for her under the brightly lit roof.

   She stood in front of Xiao Ce sweating profusely: "Why hasn't the emperor slept yet?"

   When she stopped and found someone waiting for her, the happiness was indescribable.

"Wait for you." Xiao Ce said, took her hand and pushed her to the clean room, "I asked Baozhu to prepare for bathing. On such a hot day, you are sweating after running, so go wash first. ."

   Qin Zhao didn't expect Xiao Ce to be so considerate, and she felt a little guilty for a while: "It's all my fault, I shouldn't eat too much tea, and the emperor will stay up late with me."

   "This is just a trivial matter. Don't chew tea leaves at night in the future to avoid insomnia." Xiao Ce didn't care.

  Under the lights, his eyes were soft and warm like the bright moon in the sky.

   Qin Zhao turned around and went to the clean room, remembering the questions Zuo Zhaorong and Wu Xirou asked her.

   They all asked her what her feelings for Xiao Ce were like. She thought it was family affection, but at a certain moment of warmth, she would also be heartbroken for Xiao Ce.

   She hopes that the family relationship with Xiao Ce will never deteriorate, otherwise she will force the people and hearts of those who do not belong to her alone, which is wrong.

  Xu because she took a comfortable bath, she fell asleep on the couch this time.

   She woke up late the next day, and Xiao Ce went to the Fengtian Palace early in the morning for the morning court.

   "Before leaving, the emperor asked his servant Mo to disturb the girl, and let the girl sleep until she woke up naturally." Baozhu said when she served Qin Zhao and got up.

   This situation seems to be no different from the situation in Mochizukiju at that time.

   It's just that the girl was a good girl at that time, and she was also one of the emperor's backyards. Now, although he lives in Jinyang Palace, where Taifei Wu once lived, and it is still the main palace, he has no name.

  It is obviously unreasonable to say that this phenomenon is normal. But if it is not normal, the girl's living in Jinyang Palace is also in line with the emperor's love for the girl.

   Qin Zhao didn't answer, she focused on washing up, and only remembered something serious while eating breakfast: "Is there any other residents living in Jinyang Palace?"

   "Not yet. It may be that someone is afraid of disturbing the girl, so only the girl lives in this palace." Baozhu replied.

   However, in the future, after the draft is over, there will be more and more beautiful women in the harem, and there may be new guests staying in Jinyang Palace.

   Baoyu saw that Baozhu never mentioned the draft, so she took the lead in provoking this topic: "The slave girl heard that the Empress Dowager is preparing for the draft."

  The Queen Mother Guo has been the busiest one among all the people in the harem since she became the Queen Mother, and she always came to trouble girls.

   The fact that he is so active in preparing for the draft this time is obviously also because he wants to enter more newcomers in the harem and find more people to deal with girls.

   "It is normal for the emperor to be on the throne at the beginning of the year, and it is normal for the draft to be put on the agenda." Qin Zhao felt that this was not unusual.

   should be said, as expected.

  Baoyu was silent for a moment, and then said: "I heard that the Empress Dowager and all the adults are dissatisfied with the emptiness of the Central Palace, and intend to make an appointment as soon as possible, and are currently looking for suitable candidates."

   Qin Zhao sneered when he heard the words: "The Queen Mother Guo really can't be idle. The emperor has only been on the throne for a few days? I can't wait to manage the emperor's marriage. This is not something we can talk about. Don't mention it in front of the emperor."

   When Xiao Ce was the prince, he wanted to find a concubine for Xiao Ce, and when Xiao Ce ascended the throne, he wanted to find a queen for Xiao Ce. Since this matter will be settled sooner or later, it is better to settle it sooner or later.

   I just don't know what Xiao Ce's own wishes are...

  In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Xiao Cecai met a few ministers. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the queen mother showed him several candidates for the queen.

"The emptiness of the central palace is not the solution. You are not too young. You should have married a wife and have children. Now that this matter is not resolved, the adults will not feel at ease. Since the emperor has ascended the throne, he should focus on the overall situation. Sadness. The family selected for you are all famous ladies, and they are excellent in every aspect, and it will also help the emperor to sit on the dragon throne.

   Xiao Ce never looked directly at the list of so-called queen candidates, he said in a slow voice: "The matter of standing is postponed, and the draft will be discussed after three years."

  The Queen Mother Guo did not expect such an answer. She said coldly: "Whether it is the successor or the draft, it is a matter of the national fortune of Daqi. Emperor, you can't be willful..."

"The queen mother probably forgot that her father died soon. I don't want to draft the draft at this time. This is also the last bit of filial piety I can show for the father and the queen. The mother and queen are not difficult for others." After a pause, Xiao Ce said firmly: "This is the end of the matter, no further discussion!"

   Empress Dowager Guo also wanted to persuade again: "Aijia always thinks about the emperor and worries about the national luck of Daqi, how can the emperor be so willful—"

   "Zhang Jixiang, I'm very busy to send the Queen Mother back to the Cihe Palace." Xiao Ce interrupted the Queen Mother Guo.
