After listening quietly, Qin Zhao replied, "My concubine will consider this matter carefully. Right now, it's the end of the year. After the Chinese New Year, I should be able to figure it out clearly."

She didn't say that she had made up her mind, because she still had to wait and see.

The sudden change in Queen Mother Guo's attitude still made her feel unreal. She always believed that her nature was hard to change, and she could not take it lightly.

Empress Dowager Guo didn't lobby anymore. She looked at the child in Qin Zhao's arms and couldn't help but sigh, "If Aijia could watch A Yuan grow up, how great would it be?"

"Do you want to hug the little atom?" Qin Zhao asked tentatively.

In the past, when Empress Dowager Guo hugged Little Atom, Little Atom cried non-stop. I wonder if it will change now.

Empress Dowager Guo rejected her proposal: "A Yuan doesn't like Aijia, he would cry when Aijia hugged him, and Aijia wouldn't make fun of himself."

Qin Zhao thought that Empress Dowager Guo was quite self-aware.

She sat for a while and talked with Empress Dowager Guo for a while before leaving Cihe Palace with the child in her arms.

"The Empress Dowager has changed a lot." Even Baozhu couldn't help sighing.

"A change may be a good thing." Qin Zhao's lips curled slightly.

The premise is that the changes of the Queen Mother Guo are not pretended.

"Does the empress think that the empress dowager has really changed?" Baozhu asked again.

Qin Zhao also had the same question in his heart and couldn't give Baozhu an answer.

"Bengong is not a roundworm in the queen mother's stomach. How do you know if the queen mother has really changed? Why don't you ask Baohong and Baolan, they are onlookers." Qin Zhao put the hydrangea aside.

Baohong was stunned for a while before she could react, "The slave can't see it."

Baolan also replied conservatively: "The slave servant has not been in Jinyang Palace for a long time, and has never had any dealings with the Empress Dowager, so I don't know what the Empress Dowager was like in the past, and there is no way to see if the Empress Dowager has changed. "

"It's not so important to change, the important thing is that this palace maintains a vigilance." Qin Zhao ended the topic like this.

On the twenty-ninth day of the year, Xiao Ce did not appear in Jinyang Palace. Qin Zhao felt that it would save trouble, so that the concubines in the harem would not run to Jinyang Palace again, thinking that she had blocked Xiao Ce's footsteps.

In fact, Xiao Ce himself said that he didn't want to go back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, so he stayed in Jinyang Palace. She didn't say anything or did anything. Can you blame her?

On the twenty-eighth day of the year, after a group of women could not find Xiao Ce, they scolded and walked away, saying a lot of bad things about her before leaving. She is big enough to not care about those women in general.

"Emperor didn't come to Jinyang Palace, but Niangniang was happy. When the emperor saw it, she had to say that Niangniang was a conscience." Baozhu joked.

Qin Zhao couldn't take her eyes off the script, and she replied indifferently: "Take advantage of the time before the year to relax, and wait until the next year to take over the large garden of the harem, and the palace will be busy in the future. If the emperor does not come to Jinyang Palace, I don't need to look at the emperor's face. Even if the emperor is in front of me, I am not afraid to tell the truth, I am like a tiger..."

When Baozhu heard this, she was so frightened that she hurriedly shouted, "The maiden can't talk nonsense."

"It's a fact, everyone thinks so, don't you allow me to tell the truth?" Qin Zhao didn't care.

Baohong knew before that her master was bold and feared nothing, not even the emperor.

But at this moment, when she heard her master's bold remarks, she was still as nervous as Baozhu.

"Niangniang, please keep your voice down. There are ears on the wall. Although the emperor loves his wife, the emperor is still the emperor, the king of Daqi..."

At this time Baolan also agreed, nothing more than to let Qin Zhao speak out.

Qin Zhao felt that these palace maids were timid.

In the end, under the siege of Sanbao, she finally confessed, but she didn't feel that she was wrong in her heart.

Early the next morning, it was New Year's Eve.

Because Empress Dowager Guo was in poor health and no one took care of the affairs of the harem, everyone managed their own affairs, keeping everything simple and business as usual.

But about the setting of the royal reunion dinner, there should be some regulations.

Qin Zhao from the chef's side explained a few words, and let Shang Shan have a reunion dinner as in previous years, so everything was going on in an orderly manner.

Here Qin Zhao is also thinking of Xiao Jiujiu in his heart. If you really want her to take care of the harem, she also has a way of being lazy. Everything can be done according to the time of the Queen Mother Guo, and she will save trouble for herself and others.

Anyway, there are not many people in the harem, and it is not difficult to take over the affairs of the sixth palace.

Today, Qin Zhao is already a noble concubine, and those who can enter the palace for reunion dinner are of course royal relatives, and all of them have a background.

Xiao Ce sat next to the Empress Dowager Guo and Qin Zhao respectively, and Princess Yongchun and Princess Yongning also sat in this seat.

In addition, Princess Yonghe also entered the palace. Luo Yan accompanied Princess Yonghe into the palace for the New Year's Eve dinner, and naturally sat with Princess Yonghe.

As for King An and his concubine, they were placed at another table farthest from the royal seat, which was also the arrangement of the Queen Mother Guo when she was managing the harem.

When Qin Zhao saw this small detail, he knew that the Queen Mother Guo still had some scruples about Xiao Yi.

The staff of this reunion dinner was simple, everyone ate in silence, and few people spoke.

On the other hand, Xiao Ce provided food for Qin Zhao from time to time, and he still held the little atom in his arms, and he didn't look as serious as before.

But no matter what, he is also an emperor, and he is always smiling. Even if he is holding a small atom in his arms at this moment, no one dares to get close to him.

The Queen Mother Guo eats very little, just because she doesn't eat much now. Under Luo Qing's conditioning, although Empress Dowager Guo's body is better than before, her energy is not as good as before.

It's just that because of a big occasion like today, everyone hasn't finished eating, so she can only continue to wait.

Or Qin Zhao found that the Empress Dowager Guo was in low spirits and asked in a low voice, "Does the Empress Dowager want to go back to the Cihe Palace to rest first?"

Xiao Ce also looked at Empress Dowager Guo, facing Empress Dowager Guo's gray and pale face.

The Queen Mother Guo also looked over, "Aijia's body is useless, first go back to the Cihe Palace to rest, and I will ask Concubine Gui to watch more."

"Yes, the concubine is sending the Empress Dowager." Qin Zhao got up and did a good job in etiquette.

After that, with the help of Nianyun, the Queen Mother Guo left first and returned to the Cihe Palace.

"Niangniang, let's rest for a while?" Nianyun helped Empress Dowager Guo to go to the bedroom.

After walking for a short distance, Empress Dowager Guo panted and huffed: "Aijia's body is too useless. After walking a few steps, she panted like this."

"Niangniang, don't say bad words. In the eyes of the slaves, the queen mother is very strong." Nianyun helped the queen mother Guo to sit on the bed, and then took a warm pillow and placed it on the back of the queen mother.

Queen Mother Guo leaned back comfortably and saw all the details of Nianyun's work in her eyes.

"Today is New Year's Eve. You have served Ai's family for a whole year. Take a rest today. Ai's family sleeps for a while." Empress Dowager Guo took Nianyun's hand, with a gentle look on her eyes.

Nianyun shook his head: "The slave and maid need to accompany the empress to feel at ease."
