After the Divorce, I Was Spoiled By the Prince

   Chapter 973 As a friend

   Qin Zhao is not used to this.

   Xiao Ce's reaction is normal. After all, he has an old-fashioned temperament, and he indulged in it during the day. It seems reasonable that he can't accept his transformation.

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

   "If the emperor doesn't come, it seems that the empress will not be unhappy." Baolan whispered to Baohong: "The empress 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, and he seldom walks around the harem. Occasionally, I have a little spare time for the empress. This time the emperor was angry, and the empress also said it, just wait until the emperor wants to understand. It's the same as usual." Orb answered.

   She didn't understand why this kind of thing was so hard to understand. Empress was not like other harem concubines who only depended on the emperor to live, and empress was not the kind of woman who couldn't live without the emperor.

   Niangniang is very assertive and will find fun by herself.

   "Niangniang is the most special woman I have ever seen. The emperor would not be willing to give up her." Baohong's heart towards Qin Zhao, she naturally felt that Qin Zhao was fine.

   Baolan echoed: "Yes, seeing the empress looking nervous today means that the emperor is just an ordinary man in front of empress."

  Because the emperor regarded the empress as his own, 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 is difficult to get the time for the end of the year, and he has already taken a rest. Xiao Ce, who has been busy for a whole year, finally has time to relax. 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 suggested that he wanted to go to Zhongcui Palace for a walk.

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

  Wu Xirou was overjoyed when she heard that Xiao Ce was coming. She stepped forward to pick him up and led Xiao Ce in: "The emperor came just right, 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 he would come.

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

   "The concubine thought that if the emperor was free, she might come to the concubine for a walk, so she 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 relationship.

  Xiao Ce went straight to his seat, took a sip of tea, and felt 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, she comes over to see her, and has the opportunity to sit face to face with him like this and talk, and she will be satisfied for the rest of her life.

   After that, Xiao Ce didn't speak, but occasionally poured and drank his own drink, which seemed to have 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, 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 said after a while: "It's just that some things can't be figured out."

   He couldn't figure out why he was so rational, 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.

   "Just put aside the things that you can't figure out. 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.

   This point, Xiao Ce is not good at hiding himself, or in other words, Xiao Ce never thought of hiding his feelings for Qin Zhao.

   "Really?" Xiao Ce murmured silently.

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

   So 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 expressed this feeling.

  Because in the previous life, Xiao Ce had the same interests as her, but he was too cold, not like the warmth of ordinary people now. This is Qin Zhao's ability to make people like Xiao Ce more humane.

   It is because she has the memory of her previous life and has seen Xiao Ce in the most ruthless form, so she knows how good Xiao Ce is 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 her."

   Wu Xirou's look 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 concubine 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 big ideas.

   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 go with the flow.

   "The emperor's heart is not here either. Let's just say that the concubine just went to Jinyang Palace, and the emperor accompanies 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 Wu Xirou say this, he just hit it off with her.

  Just like that, the two left Zhongcui 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!"

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

   She just bent down, 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.
