After the Divorce, I Was Spoiled By the Prince

   Chapter 272 Confrontation with the Queen Mother

   Soon after Xiao Ce came to court, Qin Zhao also got up.

  Today is the first day after the Queen Mother returned to the palace, so should she go to the Cihe Palace to greet the Queen Mother?

   Thinking that the queen mother didn't like her, she felt that she should not make fun of herself. And that is the Palace of Kindness, the Queen Mother's territory, she may not be able to come out if she can go in.

   Qin Zhao had just finished his breakfast, and Baoyu hurried in to report that Li Ma from the Cihe Palace was here.

  Li Mammy is the old man who waited by the Queen Mother's side. She has been in the palace for many years and is the Queen Mother's confidant.

  Qin Zhao thought to himself that it was really fast, couldn't he wait two more days?

   When Li Mammy saw Qin Zhao, she looked up and down sharply. Under her gaze, Xiao Ce looked calm, without any embarrassment or anxiety.

  Light is much stronger than other beauties in the East Palace.

  Mother Li bowed to Qin Zhao, and Dao Ming's intention was to invite Qin Zhao to the Cihe Palace.

   "Just now, I was planning to prepare a gift for the meeting, and I didn't want to come here. Mommy has worked hard." Qin Zhao looked at Baoyu.

   Baoyu understood, and immediately took the golden leaf and handed it to Mamma Li.

   Li Ma glanced at the dazzling golden leaves, secretly thinking that Qin Liangdi was a big hand. But after all, she was a person who was used to seeing the world and did not accept the golden leaf.

   Qin Zhao didn't care, she asked Baozhu to bring a gift, and then went to the Cihe Palace with Mammy Li.

  Li mama doesn't talk much, she is serious, Qin Zhao doesn't make fun of herself, she looks dignified and self-sufficient.

  Li Mamma secretly looked at Qin Zhao's words and deeds, and felt that the rumors were not credible.

  Only Qin Liangdi's palace rules are better than many concubines. There is a reason why Qin Liangdi can ascend to the throne.

   When Qin Zhao entered the main hall, many concubines in the harem were already greeting the queen mother.

When    Qin Zhao came in, everyone's eyes immediately focused on Qin Zhao.

  Qin Zhao was stared at by everyone without looking sideways. Every step she took was as if she had measured the size, she walked squarely, and even every swing of her sleeves was the same.

  The concubines and concubines saw Qin Zhao from a distance yesterday. At that time, they only thought that Qin Liangdi was born beautiful. Now, seeing Qin Liangdi's demeanor when walking, people can't help but feel that some people have learned the etiquette and rules so well.

  The queen mother wanted to find faults in Qin Zhao's behavior, but she couldn't find anything wrong. Among all the concubines who came to greet him, none of the concubines were as orthodox as Qin Liangdi when they saluted.

   Qin Zhao didn't know the complicated mood of the crowd, so she stepped forward to salute the Queen Mother.

  The queen mother was deliberately trying to make things difficult for her, and she couldn't help but give her courtesy.

   As someone else, Qin Zhao had used the trick of pretending to be sick for a long time, but this is the Queen Mother. If she used this unprofessional trick, she would only make the Queen Mother find other ways to continue to embarrass her.

  The Queen Mother did not exempt Qin Zhao from the salute, so Qin Zhao maintained the posture of salute all the time.

   The other concubines were happy to watch the fun, and they were also happy to watch Qin Zhao's jokes.

   But Qin Zhao maintained his salute posture for a full quarter of an hour, still as steady as Mount Tai, these concubines who were watching jokes suddenly couldn't sit still.

   The person in front of them is still a junior. Even when they were young, they could not be as stable as a mountain with such palace rules, but Qin Zhao did it, and there was no sign of instability.

  Mo said the concubines were amazed when they saw it. Even the queen mother could not help but sigh that Qin Zhao was a calm person when she observed these small details.

   The news she heard was how ignorant Qin Zhao was and how powerful Hu Mei was, but no one told her that Qin Zhao was so calm.

   "Go and bring a stool for Qin Liangdi." The Queen Mother finally spoke.

   Her opening meant that Qin Zhao's waist could be liberated.

   She stood respectfully, with a respectful attitude: "It's fine to stand, and you can always wait for the Queen Mother to send her."

  The Queen Mother looked at Qin Zhao, and saw that she lowered her eyebrows, her face was soft, and she looked very well-behaved.

  Mr. Li looked at the Queen Mother, and when she saw that the Queen Mother did not express, she did not move.

  The other concubines saw that there was nothing to see, and it was better to stay in the Cihe Palace after asking for peace, so they got up and said goodbye.

   In the end, only Qin Zhao was left in the huge hall, and the scene suddenly became quiet.

   Qin Zhao's strategy is to remain unchanged and respond to changes. She is here to ask for peace. It is an inevitable result that the Queen Mother makes trouble with her, but she is not afraid of making trouble.

  The Queen Mother doesn't like her, and it's enough to take her life like Concubine Wu.

  The Queen Mother did not speak, but Qin Zhao stood upright, still as still as a mountain.

   "How did you and the prince meet?" The queen mother didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point.

  Qin Zhao remembered how he knew Xiao Ce and felt that it was not easy to talk about it.

But she didn't want to hide it, so she answered truthfully, "The night the Crown Prince went to the Zhao Mansion, he was drunk, and when the concubine woke up, she found herself on the couch of His Royal Highness. Even so, that night, the Crown Prince and the concubine were together. Nothing happened. It was someone with a heart who set up this situation. Later, the concubine's status was ruined, and her health was not good. Seeing that the concubine was pitiful, His Royal Highness took the concubine back to the East Palace to recuperate. Later, the concubine probably knew the truth, Zhao The family's original intention was to give Wu Liangyuan to His Highness, but I don't know what went wrong and gave away the concubine..."

   Qin Zhao explained the process of getting to know Xiao Ce in a few words.

   "The Zhao family is so brave!" The Queen Mother sneered and hooked her lips.

   Qin Zhaoxiu raised her eyebrows and did not comment on this. The Zhao family is indeed bold, but Concubine Wu is even more daring. Their goal is the same, that is, to hope that Wu Xiyu will become the crown princess.

   The point she just wanted to express is that many people want Wu Xiyu to become the crown princess, and she is just an innocent victim.

   "The imperial concubine was put into the cold palace, did you plan this matter?!" The empress dowager's eyes suddenly became fierce.

   Such news is circulating throughout the harem. Wang Zhaoxun would suddenly commit suicide, and it was Qin Zhao who killed him.

  If this is the case, Qin Liangdi will not be able to stay.

   Qin Zhao was not surprised that the queen mother would ask this question. In fact, someone had already told the queen mother what happened in the palace, and these people were Wu Guifei's minions.

   It was because the Queen Mother had a preconceived impression of her, thinking that she was the one who harmed Concubine Wu.

"The empress dowager looks down on the concubine too much. The concubine has only been in the East Palace for a few months, and the concubine has been in the harem for decades. Where did the concubine have the ability to harm the concubine? If His Royal Highness hadn't arrived in time, the concubine would have been taken by the concubine. Hanging alive on a tree, the concubine will be given the name of committing suicide because of the fear of sin. The concubine is such a powerful character that there is no need to describe her concubine. Your Highness's Liang Di, for such a crime, is it possible that the imperial concubine was put into the cold palace and the noble concubine was wronged? If everyone is like the noble concubine, they will kill whoever they want to kill, then shouldn't Daqi have to change his surname to Wu?!" Qin Zhao's words were sonorous and powerful, and his expression was solemn.
