After the Divorce, I Was Spoiled By the Prince

   Chapter 1128 Pretending to be sick...

   Wu Xirou shook her head slowly: "The emperor is busy with government affairs, and the concubines are just minor illnesses, so they dare not delay the emperor's political affairs. In fact, as long as the emperor is well, the concubines will be very happy."

   Empress Dowager Guo looked at Wu Xirou with complicated eyes and sighed softly: "If your concubine is half as sensible as you, Aijia will be relieved."

   After pondering for a moment, she said to Nianyun: "If you go to invite the emperor to come to Zhongcui Palace, it is said that it is the decree of Ai's family, and let the emperor come to Zhongcui Palace for lunch."

   "Yes." Nianyun retreated in response.

   Nianyun finally found Xiao Ce in Qinzheng Hall and said his intentions.

   Xiao Ce didn't say anything, and left the government affairs at hand and went to Zhongcui Palace.

   For the Queen Mother Guo's request, he will try his best to meet, only because in his dream, the Queen Mother has been poisoned and died. It's just that the empress dowager is not innocent, the first emperor was killed by the empress dowager.

  The Queen Mother Guo is a special existence after all...

   Wu Xirou hadn't seen Xiao Ce for several days. The moment she saw Xiao Ce, her eyes warmed. To hide her gaffe, she bowed her head and saluted Xiao Ce.

  The Empress Dowager Guo admonished: "Although the emperor is busy with government affairs, he has to take time to accompany the concubine of the harem. Concubine Xian has been ill for a long time, and the emperor has never come to see Concubine Xian. Do you see what Concubine Xian looks like?"

   After being reminded by the Queen Mother Guo, Xiao Ce found that Wu Xirou had indeed lost a lot of weight, and her face was a little pale.

   "I didn't know Concubine Xian was ill." Xiao Ce frowned.

   He rarely set foot in the harem, and he didn't come to Zhongcui Palace recently, how would he know that Wu Xirou was ill?

"My concubine is just a minor illness. I thought I would recover after a few days of recuperation. Who knows, I have repeatedly delayed these days. The concubine did not dare to tell the emperor about it for fear of passing on the sickness to the emperor. The emperor, My concubine is fine." Wu Xirou showed a weak smile.

   She heard that Qin Zhao used the trick of pretending to be sick when he first entered the palace, which slowed Xiao Ce's footsteps.

   She also wanted to learn from Qin Zhao's way of pretending to be sick, so she deliberately prevented her from getting better.

  Xiao Ce doesn't like weak women, and even when he speaks, he is weak, as if he is out of breath at any time.

   He still thinks that a woman like Qin Zhao who speaks with vigour is healthier.

   "The body is my own, let the imperial doctor treat it well." Xiao Ce opened his lips indifferently, showing no expression, and naturally he would not have any pity.

   Although Wu Xirou already knew what Xiao Ce's temperament was, she was still a little sad to see Xiao Ce's indifferent reaction.

   She thought that Xiao Ce knew that she had been ill for so long, and that she sensible not to disturb him, she would feel a little pity for her.

  It is a pity that Xiao Ce is still so indifferent.

   "The emperor should accompany Concubine Xian more. Concubine Xian is a good and sensible child. With the emperor's care, Concubine Xian can get better faster."

   "Since Concubine Xian is ill, she should seek medical treatment from an imperial physician. I am not an imperial physician, so I have no way to cure the disease." Xiao Ce replied tightly tied.

   Empress Dowager Guo only felt that Xiao Ce was puzzled, but she also understood Xiao Ce's temperament to some extent, and this kind of reaction was in line with Xiao Ce's temperament.

  If Xiao Ce really wanted to become caring for Wu Xirou, it would be terrifying.

   During the meal, Empress Dowager Guo worked hard to activate the atmosphere at the dinner, and Wu Xirou also served Xiao Ce with food from time to time, but Xiao Ce responded indifferently.

   Just finished eating, Xiao Ce got up and said goodbye.

   "Concubine Xian went to see the emperor off." Empress Dowager Guo gave Wu Xirou a chance to get along with Xiao Ce.

   Wu Xirou knew the good intentions of the Queen Mother Guo, and followed Xiao Ce according to her words.

   She went under the eaves, and Xiao Ce slowed down: "You are not well, go back."

   Leaving this sentence aside, Xiao Ce strode away without looking back.

   Wu Xirou didn't even have a chance to speak. She looked at Xiao Ce's back, and her heart tightened.

   It is said that Qin Zhao used to pretend to be sick in the past, and frequently asked Xiao Ce to stay in Mochizuki.

  Why is she sick, Xiao Ce doesn't want to say a word to her?

   Just as she was wiping away her tears silently, the Queen Mother Guo's voice sounded behind her: "Aijia created a chance for you, but you can't keep the emperor, it's your incompetence, you can't blame anyone."

   Seeing Wu Xirou, she remembered her failure.

   At this moment, she suddenly disliked Wu Xirou very much, because Wu Xirou reminded her of the most unpleasant past.

   "What Niangniang said is." Wu Xirou said hoarsely.

   "If you want to pretend to be sick to keep the emperor, you probably won't be able to." Empress Dowager Guo said and shook her head: "You can think about how to go in the future, Aijia can't help you."

   She also wanted to use Wu Xirou as a chess piece to deal with Qin Zhao, but she didn't expect Wu Xirou to be so incompetent.

   It seems that she has to find another way.

  After Empress Dowager Guo left Zhong Cui Palace, Wu Xirou returned to the room and cried hard.

   When she finished crying, she cheered up again. Since pretending to be sick is useless and being considerate is useless, she can only find another way.

   She should think about how she stayed by Xiao Ce's side in her previous life, and what kind of attitude she took to make Xiao Ce remember her.

   In her previous life, she often served with pen and ink, because her handwriting was good, and Xiao Ce was a person who cherished talent, so she had such an opportunity.

   In addition, she doesn't bother Xiao Ce, she usually doesn't bother Xiao Ce when she has nothing to do, but when Xiao Ce needs to employ people, she always shows up at the right time...

   Soon Wu Xirou wanted to understand one thing, Xiao Ce did not treat her as a woman in her previous life. He doesn't like to be close to women, but he values ​​talented people.

   And she doesn't have much ambition, so she can often walk in front of Xiao Ce.

   This is the crux of the problem.

   Because she has more ambitions in this life and wants more, she is not loved by Xiao Ce.

   I just hope she wakes up before it's too late.

   For the next two days, Wu Xirou spent the next two days in the study, painting a "Hundred Flowers". After finishing the painting, she picked a time when Xiao Ce was almost finished and went to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

   Who knew that she went too late, Zhiqiu told her that Xiao Ce was very busy these two days, and he was able to breathe a sigh of relief just now. He should have gone to Jinyang Palace at this time.

   When Wu Xirou heard the Jinyang Palace, she guessed that Xiao Ce was looking for Qin Zhao.

   This time, she did not worry about gain or loss, nor did she hesitate too much, she took the "Hundred Flowers" she made and went to Jinyang Palace.

   Inside Jinyang Palace.

   Near noon, Qin Zhao was preparing to have lunch when Xiao Ce suddenly came.

   When she eats alone, she never advocates extravagance and waste, and Baoyu also knows it, so she makes four dishes and one soup, but the portions are small.

   Xiao Ce suddenly came to Jinyang Palace, and when he was having lunch, he killed her by surprise.

As soon as    Xiao Ce appeared, he went to the dining table as a matter of course.

   He was a little surprised to see the dishes on the table: "Is this what Concubine Ai eats?"

   There is only one meat dish in the four dishes, and the other three dishes are vegetarian dishes. This simple dish does not seem to match the identity of Qin Zhaogui.

  Each concubine's salary has a rank, and so does her diet.

  As a noble concubine, Qin Zhao's meals were too simple.
