It is night, the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zhang Jixiang served the green head card as usual, Xiao Ce glanced at it, but did not see Qin Zhao's brand, but what he remembered was what Qin Zhao said to him during the day.

She said that where he was, she was there. She also said that he was good to the other concubines in the harem, but she kept the empty boudoir alone every night...

"Emperor?" Zhang Jixiang saw Xiao Ce staring at the green head card in a daze, wondering what his master was thinking.

"Why don't you see the imperial concubine's brand?" Xiao Ce returned to his senses and replied in a low voice.

It's strange to say that this harem is full of women who admire him. He grew up surrounded by such sights since he was a child. How can he remember these words Qin Zhao said?

The entire harem is a concubine who keeps the empty boudoir alone, and Qin Zhao is not the only one.

Zhang Jixiang didn't dare to say that the empress dowager Guo refused to let the brand of Qin Guifei, the emperor suddenly mentioned the brand of the imperial concubine, wouldn't he want to flip the brand of the imperial concubine?

"I'm asking you something!" Xiao Ce looked at Zhang Jixiang coldly.

Zhang Jixiang hurriedly knelt to the ground: "Slave, I don't remember..."

Xiao Ce looked at the top of Zhang Jixiang's head, Zhang Jixiang's scalp suddenly became numb, and he quickly apologized: "It was a servant who made his own decision, thinking that the emperor didn't like the concubine, so he didn't put on the brand of the concubine."

"You really deserve to die!" Xiao Ce waved his hand: "Put it down, don't get in the way of my eyes."

Zhang Jixiang hurriedly responded, holding the sign, kneeling and retreating.

Before going to bed that night, Xiao Ce suddenly remembered that Qin Zhao said to him today that she is where he is, but in recent days, this is the first time Qin Zhao has come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to find her.

"Jixiang, did the imperial concubine often come to see me before?" Xiao Cezhang asked casually.

This question stumped Zhang Jixiang.

He didn't know what answer Xiao Ce wanted to hear, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"My question is so difficult to answer? Tell the truth." Xiao Ce looked at Zhang Jixiang with eyes like a knife.

Zhang Jixiang felt that the current Lord Long Live was too powerful, and he did not dare to lie: "The noble concubine seldom comes to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and the number of times that she visits the Hall of Mental Cultivation is very few throughout the year."

This is the truth, but he doesn't know if the emperor wants to hear the truth.

"Did your concubine pester me before?" Xiao Ce asked again.

Zhang Jixiang lowered his head: "The imperial concubine is the least troublesome master in the entire harem, and it is usually the emperor who looks for the imperial concubine..."

Speaking of this, he felt a chill on the back of his neck, and he broke out in a cold sweat instantly, not daring to make a sound.

Xiao Ce remembered Qin Zhao's sincere expression when he was talking to him today, that woman suddenly showed her love to him, and said that she couldn't leave him, and that she was just acting on the scene? !

"you sure?!"

Xiao Ce's gloomy voice sounded above Zhang Jixiang's head. Zhang Jixiang was not at all sure whether to continue to tell the truth.

Speaking of which, this is a very shameless thing. The emperor is also a big man. He will naturally be unhappy if he is ignored by a harem concubine.

He just didn't know how to answer: He heard Xiao Ce ask again: "How many times will the imperial concubine come to see me at the end of the year? I want to hear the truth."

Zhang Jixiang thought that he would not be bored enough to count such things, but when the emperor asked, he couldn't help but answer: "Generally, you can count them with both hands."

Xiao Ce was not surprised by such an answer this time. He asked again: "The imperial concubine said that she did not want to go to the Summer Resort because she was reluctant to leave me. Do you think the imperial concubine is telling the truth?"

Zhang Jixiang's face turned pale when he heard this, he dared to tell the truth, he hurriedly said: "Of course it is true. In the past, the relationship between the emperor and the concubine was good. Niangniang, the noble concubine is not as good as the emperor before."

The concubine can't have an accident, she is the biological mother of the little highness.

"You said that the imperial concubine seldom came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and you said that the imperial concubine is better than the emperor, isn't it a contradiction?" Speaking of this, Xiao Ce suddenly asked: "Zhang Jixiang, did you accept the favor of the imperial concubine?!"

Zhang Jixiang was wronged to death, he was so frightened that he fell to his knees and said, "The servant is wronged! The noble concubine even smashed the head of the servant, how could the servant say good things to the noble lady? The noble concubine seldom came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation because the emperor wanted to Busy with government affairs, the imperial concubine and the concubine are well-versed in such important matters. The imperial concubine is a righteous woman, and this slave really admires the noble concubine. The master of the slave is only the emperor, how can it be used by the concubines of the harem? What the slave said It's true, I don't dare to make a half-sentence, please let the emperor know."

Xiao Ce is facing Zhang Jixiang's open eyes.

He knows best what kind of person Zhang Jixiang is. He is usually a grass, and it will fall where the wind blows. Zhang Jixiang has many shortcomings, but one of the biggest advantages is that he is loyal to him.

He can't do anything wrong, and if he has a guilty conscience, he will be betrayed by his eyes. At this moment, he believes Zhang Jixiang's words.

"Okay, just get up." Xiao Ce felt a little annoyed.

He didn't understand why Qin Zhao looked different from his dream and behaved differently. Of course, there is also the same place. They gave birth to small atoms for him. When he spoke, he was not ashamed or impetuous. When he confessed to him today, the imperial concubine opened his mouth and looked very sincere, but he just felt that the woman seemed to be different. Purpose.

Zhang Jixiang got up and stepped aside, wiping a cold sweat.

The current emperor is very refined, and his suspicions are particularly serious.

When the concubine and the concubine asked the emperor for something, most of them said it nicely, but what he said was also correct. The emperor and the concubine were on good terms.

He just doesn't hope that one day the emperor will remember the love between the concubine and the concubine in the past, and regret that he has done too much, so he will protect the concubine everywhere.

Speaking of which, the imperial concubine was not good to him, why did he bother?

The next day was the Dragon Boat Festival. Xiao Ce also got up to wash up and practice the exercises according to the previous schedule. When he saw a flowerpot with grass and mugwort placed in front of the palace gate, he slowed down.

Zhang Jixiang explained Xiao Ce's confusion: "These are all ordered by the imperial concubine, the Dragon Boat Festival, and these are folk customs."

"What else did the imperial concubine prepare?" Xiao Ce asked casually.

"After worshiping heaven and earth, the royal hunting ground will have various activities such as shooting willows and hammering pills. The concubines and concubines of the harem will enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden. In addition, after the pilgrimage of the ministers, the emperor will go to Mingyuan to watch the dragon boat race. The preparations for the dragon boat race have been completed. For a long time, there are literary and military generals in the contestants. The concubine said that the dragon boat race can enhance cohesion, and this kind of event is indispensable. In addition, the concubine selected Cui Jieyu and Zuo Zhaorong for the driver..." Zhang Jixiang roughly The matter was said again.

Xiao Ce didn't answer, his expression was inexplicable, and Zhang Jixiang didn't know whether his master was happy or unhappy.

"What about the imperial concubine herself?" Just when he was worried, he only heard the master ask.
