After the Divorce, I Was Spoiled By the Prince

Chapter 1166: Concubine Xian and Qin Zhao compete for favor

   The harem was quiet for the next two days, until Xiao Ce flipped over Cui Jieyu's sign again.

   The next morning, a rare visitor came to Jinyang Palace, and it was Wu Xirou, who was walking around Jinyang Palace for a long time.

  Although the two did not officially tear their faces, they were all smart people, and they knew that many things could not go back to the past, so they avoided the embarrassment of face-to-face.

   This time Wu Xirou suddenly appeared in Jinyang Palace, Qin Zhao's first reaction was that if something went wrong, there would be a monster.

   "Why is Concubine Xian so free to come to this palace today?" Qin Zhao asked with a light smile, with a lukewarm attitude.

   Wu Xirou immediately noticed the change in Qin Zhao's address. Qin Zhao used to call her sister instead of Concubine Xian. Before she and Qin Zhao would not call themselves the Palace, but today the self-proclaimed name has also changed.

   She suddenly felt that she should not come this time. Even if she wanted to provoke a dispute between Qin Zhao and Cui Jieyu, Qin Zhao was not a fool. How could she not see through her scheming?

   "I haven't come to Jinyang Palace for a long time, and just now I suddenly remembered my sister, so I came to see her." Wu Xirou smiled slightly: "Time flies so fast, in the blink of an eye, Xiao Yuan is one year old."

  Qin Zhaocai didn't believe that Wu Xirou came over just to sigh with her that the time had passed by too fast, but Wu Xirou didn't say it, and she didn't bother to ask.

  The two chatted with each other, and then Qin Zhao heard Xiao Ce's footsteps approaching, and secretly thought that this was a coincidence, Xiao Ce, a busy man, came to Jinyang Palace to walk around.

   Interestingly, this time Xiao Ce went to the east side hall to sit for a while before coming to walk around in her main hall.

  Because of her good hearing, she naturally knew Xiao Ce's movements at the first time, but Wu Xirou didn't know.

As soon as Xiao Ce appeared, Wu Xirou cheerfully greeted her, just stuck in front of Qin Zhao, and Qin Zhao also fell behind Wu Xirou.

   Qin Zhao is not blind either, of course she saw this detail, but she was unmoved.

   Her current strategy is very simple, she only needs to have her own place in the harem, and she doesn't have to fight against Xiao Ce, and she doesn't have to deliberately seek Xiao Ce's favor.

  Wu Xirou's deliberate ingratiating to her was superfluous in her opinion, and she didn't feel anything.

  Xiao Ce obviously felt Wu Xirou's joy when she saw him. On the other hand, Qin Zhao stood quietly behind Wu Xirou, and after greeting him, he sat back to his original position.

  Compared with Wu Xirou's enthusiasm, Qin Zhao seemed too calm and self-controlled.

   "What was Concubine Ai doing just now?" Xiao Ce asked casually.

  Wu Xirou thought that Xiao Ce was asking about herself, she smiled and said, "The concubine was chatting with Sister Qin about family affairs, and when they were talking about the rise, she didn't want the emperor to come."

   Xiao Ce frowned slightly.

   He asked Qin Zhao, yes, Qin Zhao's answer was taken away by Wu Xirou and he was not at all displeased. Couldn't this woman fight for it?

   Wu Xirou quickly found that Xiao Ce's face was not very good-looking. She didn't know that she had offended Xiao Ce, so she had nothing to say: "Why does the emperor have time to walk around today?"

   Xiao Ce was a little unhappy when he heard her familiar tone.

   Listening to Wu Xirou's tone, it seems that Wu Xirou is the master of Jinyang Palace. It was Wu Xirou who answered the call, and Wu Xirou was also the one who grabbed the conversation. Qin Zhao, the hostess of the main hall, didn't say a word.

   "I'm here to see the noble concubine." Xiao Ce replied firmly, his eyes fixed on Qin Zhao's low profile face.

   seemed to sense his gaze, Qin Zhao looked up and asked, "Didn't the emperor come to see Sister Cui?"

   Then stop by and see the little atoms.

   said that he came to see her, and she would rather believe that he was here to trouble her.

   Xiao Ce narrowed his eyes: "You know that I went to the East Side Hall?"

   It seems that she pays attention to his movements.

   Qin Zhao was at a loss for words, she forgot that she had excellent hearing, but others were not like her.

   Xiao Ce went to the East Side Hall before, and no one came to inform her, so how did she know that Xiao Ce went to the East Side Hall?

   "Did the emperor really go to the east side hall? Look, the concubine knows that the emperor's favorite is Sister Cui." Qin Zhao abruptly came back.

  Xiao Ce sat down in the empty seat beside Qin Zhao, thinking that this topic should be stopped. If Qin Zhao became jealous and entangled in this topic, he would not be able to resist.

   He was about to change the topic when Qin Zhao said again: "Sister Cui is considerate, gentle and considerate, not to mention the emperor likes it, the concubine also likes it very much."

   She looked at Baozhu and said, "Go and bring the dessert that Sister Cui brought to the emperor and try it too."

   Baozhu left in response, and soon Baozhu brought a bowl of snacks.

   Qin Zhao took a piece and handed it to Xiao Ce's lips: "The emperor has a try, it's delicious."

  Xiao Ce was not used to being fed, so he took a piece and made a comment after trying it: "It's not as delicious as the dim sum made by Baoyu."

   Qin Zhao laughed and joked after hearing this: "When does the emperor plan to return Baoyu to his concubine?"

   A talent like Baoyu, she was reluctant to give it to Xiao Ce.

   Xiao Ce hesitated for a moment before saying, "Let Baoyu return to Jinyang Palace in two days."

   It can only be said that Baoyu's dishes are really delicious and his actions are prudent. He is even a little reluctant to send people back.

   "That's good, the concubine is afraid that Baoyu is too good, and the emperor is reluctant to let him go." Qin Zhao said, looking at Wu Xiju, who had calmed down beside him: "Why is Concubine Xian so quiet all of a sudden?"

   Wu Xirou was sitting on the side as the background, she wanted to interject, but Xiao Ce and Qin Zhao were just chatting with each other, how did they notice her?

   "I was fascinated by the conversation between the Emperor and Sister Qin." Wu Xirou replied with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the draft is in progress. The Empress Dowager said that the draft will be held after the Mid-Autumn Festival. The concubine wants to know what kind of beauties the Emperor prefers, and then I will have a good idea." Qin Zhao looked at Wu Xirou as he spoke: "Concubine Xian will come in. The time in the palace is not short, and the draft affairs will be cumbersome at that time, so let the concubine Xian also come to help the concubine?"

   Anyway, it's right to bring Wu Xirou down, she can relax a little by then.

   Xiao Ce didn't expect Qin Zhao's thinking to jump so much, and suddenly brought up the draft. He thought that this matter was handled by the Queen Mother Guo, and he didn't need to bother.

  Qin Zhao suddenly and bluntly asked him what kind of beauty he liked, and his expression was still so magnanimous.

   "I won't bother about the draft." Xiao Ce opened his lips indifferently, but his expression showed no joy or anger.

   Wu Xirou also replied, "It's my honor to be able to help Sister Qin."

   It is best to eliminate all the young and beautiful, so that there is no threat.

"Since the emperor doesn't care about the draft, then there will be Concubine Lao Xian who will help this palace. Daqi has not held a draft for many years. This time, many young and beautiful beauties will be selected to enter the palace to serve the emperor." Qin Zhao said softly.

   Wu Xirou didn't know what Qin Zhao's intention was when she said this. Maybe Qin Zhao was testing her reaction, or maybe he was testing Xiao Ce's reaction.

   Xiao Ce felt that this topic was meaningless, and suddenly felt boring, so he got up and planned to leave.
