Everyone stood up quickly and said, "Welcome Your Majesty."
"Everyone, please get up," Emperor Zhou sat on the dragon's bench and waved his hand, "It's refreshing today. I'm going to come out for some fresh air, so I don't have to be restrained."
He glanced around and rested on Mu Zhao.
"Girl Zhao, how is your physical recovery now?"
"It's okay. I'm a little stronger than the previous days. I was invited into the palace by Empress Dowager De Fei early this morning."
Mu Zhao deliberately aggravated the whole morning, a little naughty little resentment.
Emperor Zhou laughed heartily, "Concubine De, you don't know that Zhao Zhao likes to get up late, why did you invite her over so early?"
Concubine De told Emperor Zhou again what she had said to Mu Zhao.
Emperor Zhou looked at Mu Zhao and said with a smile: "Zhaozhao is so lovable."
"Your Majesty is absolutely right," one of the empresses said: "Just now, this master of traditional Chinese painting revealed his feelings to the princess~"
"Oh?" Emperor Zhou turned to look at Qiao Xiangrong.
Qiao Xiangrong lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty"
Emperor Zhou's eyes turned around on him, and he said with unclear emotion: "A gentleman loves beautiful women, but you are too old for your age. Girl Zhao will not like you."
Concubine De said with a smile: "Your Majesty does not know, but the princess also admires the master of Chinese painting~"
Emperor Zhou looked at Mu Zhao in surprise, "You..."
Mu Zhao struggled to grab the armrest of the sedan chair and said to Concubine De: "Concubine De, please don't talk nonsense. When did I say that I admire the master of Chinese painting?"
Concubine De thought she was shy and was still smiling.
"Although you didn't say it, you stayed here all day yesterday and kept looking at him, so it's obvious what you mean."
Mu Zhao sneered and said sarcastically, "Empress De Fei can actually read minds."
Only then did Concubine De notice Mu Zhao's seriousness. She was not shy just now, but she really didn't like the master of traditional Chinese painting?
Mu Zhao added: "Yesterday, I kept watching traditional Chinese painting masters from time to time. I want to learn to paint. Are you thinking too much?"
Concubine De: "I..."
"Is it possible that in the heart of Concubine De, I, Mu Zhao, love everyone I meet, even the person who can be my father? Such... that I am not selective about food?"
Concubine De was anxious, "No..."
"I like young and good-looking people, and if I like someone, I will definitely tell them directly without having to guess."
Emperor Zhou's face looked a little ugly, "Concubine De, do you really like to guess other people's thoughts?"
Concubine De quickly said: "No, I..."
"Oh~" Mu Zhao interrupted Concubine De again.
"I finally understand your so-called arrangement, Concubine De, which is to let the master of traditional Chinese painting come into the house before the ladies and I have finished our meal, and claim that he is one of our own."
"Concubine De!" Emperor Zhou's voice turned cold, "How could you be so ignorant of etiquette?"
Mu Zhao sneered, if you let your foreign husband see the emperor's concubine eating, isn't this a slap in his face?
Concubine De explained, "No, I thought the princess..."
Mu Zhao said: "Oh, by the way, master of traditional Chinese painting, do you like me or are you looking for me to take the blame?"
Qiao Xiangrong did not dare to speak.
Judging from the relationship between Mu Zhao and the emperor, it is obviously much better than the relationship between Concubine De and the emperor.
Mu Zhao didn't want to wait for his answer. She saw the suspicion in Emperor Zhou's eyes and that was enough.
Then she added fire.
"I just saw that the little eunuch deliberately threw the rice paper on you. When you moved around, the rice paper fell."
Emperor Zhou gritted his teeth and asked, "Who?"
The little eunuch knelt down with a bang and said, "Your Majesty, I...I have no choice but to do this."
Emperor Zhou looked at the young eunuch, "The people around Concubine De?"
Concubine De also knelt down quickly and said, "Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation. Things are not what you think."
"How do you know what I think?!"
Emperor Zhou was so angry that he directly picked up the tea cup on the dragon bowl and smashed it at Concubine De, but because he was not strong enough, he smashed it empty.
This made Emperor Zhou even more angry. This chapter has been completed!
