After the Divorce, I Was Spoiled By the Prince

   Chapter 636: Chess and Drums Equivalent Opponents

"The Empress Xiurong is just too concerned about the emperor's thoughts, so she will look ahead and look back. If the Empress Xiurong is willing to wait indefinitely, the servant will have nothing to say. At this time, the Empress Xiurong needs to show her courage!" Liuli urged her again. .

   Wu Xirou was still undecided.

   She really cares about Xiao Ce's thoughts, and even more about Xiao Ce's perception of her, because she wants to be the person Xiao Ce cares about the most.

   "Go down first, let me think about it." Wu Xirou waved her hand in a depressed mood, motioning for Liuli to step back.

  Liu Li was a little disappointed when she saw that Wu Xirou was still hesitating at this time.

   Before entering the palace, Empress Xiurong was not as courageous as she is now. At that time, Empress Xiurong would definitely move forward towards her goal, but now, for the sake of an emperor, she forgot that her purpose in first entering the palace was to become the master of the middle palace.

   But her own master was undecided, and she didn't dare to make an assertion. She hesitated to come and go, and planned to go to the Cihe Palace to test the meaning of the Queen Mother Guo.

  The Queen Mother Guo heard that Liuli wanted to see her, but she didn't know who it was.

   "It's Empress Xiurong's valet." Nianyun suggested.

   "Let her come in." When the Queen Mother Guo heard that it was someone next to Wu Xirou, she spoke respectfully.

  Liu Li quickly entered, stepped forward and bowed respectfully.

   "Wu Xiurong asked you to come?" Queen Mother Guo asked after waiving Liuli's salute.

  Liu Li hurriedly shook her head: "Ms. Xiurong didn't know that the servants came to ask the Empress Dowager for help."

   "For help?" Queen Mother Guo felt that this word was a bit new.

"Exactly! Empress Xiurong went to Jinyang Palace before, and was humiliated by Miss Qin and Baozhu, her eyes reddened from crying. The slave girl really felt sorry for Empress Xiurong, so she came to ask the Empress Dowager for help." Then, Liuli reported the incident. The general has been said once.

The Empress Dowager Guo did not say a word after hearing this, and Liuli said after seeing this: "The Empress Xiurong is thin-skinned and cares too much about the emperor's feelings, so she never dared to behave in the slightest against the emperor. The servant wants to help the Empress Xiurong. Go to bed early, if Empress Xiurong is fortunate enough to be able to spread branches and leaves for the royal family, she will be willing to do whatever she wants."

   As she said, she knelt down in front of the Queen Mother Guo: "The slave maid dares to ask the Queen Mother for guidance, and the slave maid and the Queen Mother Xiurong will be grateful to the Queen Mother for a lifetime."

Empress Dowager Guo's expression was light: "Wu Xiurong's ability to sleep depends on whether she has such good fortune, and she will not let Ai's family get involved in this kind of thing. According to Ai's family, Wu Xiurong doesn't seem to be incompetent, you Going to beg the Aijia by making up your own ideas, the Aijia can't help your master, so step back."

  Liu Li didn't expect Empress Dowager Guo to refuse so bluntly. She thought Empress Dowager Guo was eager to hold the emperor's grandson and would be willing to help Empress Xiurong. How could it be just the opposite?

   "Can't the Empress Dowager help Empress Xiurong?" Liu Li was unwilling to leave and asked.

   Empress Dowager Guo's brows became colder. Under the gaze of Empress Dowager Guo, Liuli did not dare to stop.

   She quickly got up and said, "The servant knows it's wrong, and the servant retire!"

   Empress Dowager Guo looked at Liuli's retreating back, and shook her head secretly: "Wu Xiurong is no exception to this kind of thing."

  I couldn't help myself, because I didn't have enough means. Even if she can help Wu Xirou once, can she continue to help?

Nianyun was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Perhaps Empress can help Empress Xiurong to sleep. What Empress wants to get rid of is Miss Qin. Now that Miss Qin has no rivals, it is unlikely that there will be conflicts with the emperor. But the emperor and Miss Qin are unlikely to have any conflicts. If there is another Empress Xiurong in between, it will be another matter. In this way, Empress does not help Empress Xiurong, but treats Empress Xiurong as a **** against Miss Qin."

   Empress Dowager Guo's eyes lit up: "What you said is reasonable, let Rong Ai's family think about it again!"

She didn't want to do something like    helping Wu Xirou, but if Wu Xirou could use it to deal with Qin Zhao, it would be feasible.

   Nianyun's words are very reasonable.

   She really should help Wu Xirou more in the future. So far, only Wu Xirou can get close to Xiao Ce. Since there are ready-made chess pieces, why bother to look for distance and find someone from outside the palace to enter the palace?

  If the draft will not be held until three years later, then she will naturally find Qin Zhao an opponent who is comparable in chess and drums in the past three years.

   There is no need to hesitate for too long. The Queen Mother Guo soon made a decision and planned to find an opportunity to help Wu Xirou go to bed smoothly.

   This suitable opportunity would be more suitable if the time, place and people were right. Of course, it is better to go with the flow, if it is too deliberate, according to Xiao Ce's temperament, he will not like it.

  When the late emperor was alive, she always resented the late emperor for being too fussy, but the son she gave birth to was not a womanizer, which made her unexpected.

   Two days later, in the evening.

  Liu Li Huo rushed to the Mian San in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

   "Wu Xiurong went to Cihe Palace in the morning and hasn't come back yet?" Xiao Ce thought for a while that he had heard something wrong.

  Liu Li's face couldn't hide her anxiety: "The servants also went to the Cihe Palace on purpose, but the Empress Dowager did not allow the servants to enter the Cihe Palace, and the servants came to the emperor because they had no choice."

   She wondered if the matter of her looking for the Empress Dowager two days ago made the Empress Dowager unhappy, so Nianyun asked Empress Xiurong to go to Cihe Palace in the morning. In fact, the Empress Dowager used this method to punish Empress Dowager Xiurong.

   Of course, she didn't dare to tell the emperor about this, she just hoped that the emperor would go to the Cihe Palace to bring her back because of Empress Xiurong's merit in serving the brush and ink.

   She was flustered in her heart, but Lord Wan Sui was slow to give her an answer. She kowtowed several times to Lord Wan Sui: "Slave, I beg the emperor to go to Cihe Palace to see if Empress Xiurong is all right."

   "Forget it, I will go with you." Xiao Ce was not worried about Wu Xirou.

   He just thought it was a little strange.

  Since the mother was honored as the queen mother, Concubine Wu stayed at home, so low-key as if there was no such person as Concubine Wu. It seems that with the death of the previous emperor, Concubine Wu seemed to have completely changed.

  That being the case, the queen mother has no reason to target Concubine Wu, nor is she dissatisfied with Wu Xirou.

   But I went to Cihe Palace in the morning, and I haven’t come back yet, which is really puzzling.

  Just like that, Xiao Ce took Liuli to the Cihe Palace.

   Queen Mother Guo saw Xiao Ce coming, and said amiably: "Did the emperor come here on purpose for dinner?"

  Xiao Ce looked around, but did not see Wu Xirou, so he asked bluntly, "Is Wu Xiurong in the Cihe Palace?"

   "That's right, she is helping Aijia copy the Buddhist scriptures. At the moment in the Buddhist hall, how could the emperor ask her for no reason?" Empress Dowager Guo said and led the way in front of the small Buddhist hall.

  Xiao Ce went to the small Buddha hall to see him, but when he saw Wu Xirou was concentrating on copying Buddhist scriptures, he didn't notice his arrival.

   He looked back at Liuli, who lowered her head in fright.

   She didn't know that her master was copying Buddhist scriptures, and she thought that the empress dowager was deliberately embarrassing her master.
