Qin Zhao knew that this was Zhaixing Tower, the tallest pavilion in the entire palace.

She rarely comes here.

In general, her harem life is boring and the number of times Zhaixing Tower comes is only a handful.

"Is this?" Qin Zhao looked at Xiao Ce in confusion.

"Go up." Xiao Ce kept in a silence.

Qin Zhao was thinking, was it another thing she said in her previous life that Xiao Ce wanted to satisfy her wish that she had not fulfilled in her previous life?

But many times she just complained, and she didn't really want to get anything. After all, he is the emperor and has such a dull temperament. How could he have so much time to mess with her?

But she didn't know that a word she said by chance might be remembered by the indifferent and unintentional Xiao Ce, so when he had memories of his previous life, he wanted to help her fulfill those so-called wishes.

But he should have forgotten, their life was already over.

If they have not had this life, those unfulfilled wishes will only be regrets in the end.

Later, Xiao Ce took Qin Zhao to the top floor, and all kinds of desserts and fruits had already been arranged on it, and even a chaise long ago.

Moreover, Zhang Jixiang had already waited on it.

Qin Zhao found a comfortable chair to sit down, looked at the night sky full of stars, and suddenly remembered what he had said.

She told Xiao Ce that if she could be in the highest place in the palace, she and Xiao Ce would be the only one who could enjoy the stars and moon while enjoying the fireworks.

At that time, the relationship between her and Xiao Ce should be at its best. Basically, Xiao Ce would agree to whatever she had requests, so she was so imaginative that she had this idea.

Xiao Ce was reviewing the memorial at the time and did not give her any response. She thought he had not listened to it, so she whispered a few words to him, even if she had exposed the topic.

It was just a lifetime after a while that suddenly Xiao Ce fulfilled her wish. It was supposed to be a happy thing, but it made people feel sad. It seemed that he was not that happy, but he was more emotional.

When the fireworks bloomed in the air and turned into flowers, Qin Zhao knew that he had guessed it right.

Xiao Ce kept observing Qin Zhao's expression. He thought she would be happy, but her expression was always the same, as if she was not happy because of star-watching and fireworks.

He remembered that she also said that when she was tired of watching the fireworks, she could lie on his lap and sleep on the spot for a night until dawn.

At this moment, Qin Zhao sat upright, not lying on his lap as she said to watch the stars and fireworks, nor was he as happy and casual as he imagined.

Is it because she doesn't care about what she wants?

He thought about it carefully and found that after she met him in her life, she did not make any requests to him. She had proposed the palace several times, but he refused them harshly.

"Don't you like it?" Xiao Ce's voice awakened Qin Zhao's thoughts.

Qin Zhao raised his lips: "I like it, it looks very good, the emperor is very considerate."

Xiao Ce was silent.

He knew she wasn't that happy.

Maybe it was because he didn't give it to her when she wanted it. Now she doesn't want it anymore. When he gives it to her again, it's meaningless, right?

When he wanted to make up for the regrets left by his previous life, she had actually let it go. Is that true?

Not only did Zhaixing Tower see fireworks, but the concubines in the entire harem also saw fireworks. However, the visual effect of watching the fireworks is in Zhaixing Tower. Although other palaces can be seen, they can only see one or a half points.

Many people are asking what day it is, and fireworks are set off in the palace. Later, a well-informed person learned that it was Xiao Ce who specially prepared this grand fireworks feast to please Qin Zhao.

Of course, someone inquired a few days ago that the newly built Mingyuan was also specially built for Qin Zhao. No one except Qin Zhao could enter Mingyuan.

When everyone mentions this, they are outrageous anger and jealousy.

This harem was originally dominated by Qin Zhao's family. Xiao Yuan was only made the crown prince not long ago. Now the emperor is thinking of a way to please Qin Zhao.

The concubines other than Qin Zhao couldn't even see Xiao Ce. How could everyone be willing to do this?

With Xiao Ce's dull nature, how could he set off fireworks on ordinary days in order to please a woman?

Unless Qin Zhao put a gun on Xiao Ce!

As the person involved, Qin Zhao really didn't think there was anything strange about this. It was not until after watching the fireworks, down from Zhaixing Tower, and then taking a chariot to return to Jinyang Palace, that she heard the gritting teeth of the concubines in the harem mentioned her along the way, that she realized that she had aroused public anger.

Although this was not her original intention, and although she only realized today that Xiao Ce’s actions were all to please her, she was indeed the culprit that made everyone dissatisfied.

Not only were the concubines in the harem dissatisfied with her, but even the ministers of the previous dynasty were very dissatisfied with her, she still knew about this.

When she returned to Jinyang Palace, she deliberately left the others and said to Xiao Ce: "The emperor should stop doing these things again. At that time, I was ignorant and wanted to make fun of it all day long. Let all the adults know that the emperor did these things just to please a woman, and it would also damage the emperor's reputation..."

"They dare not talk nonsense!" Xiao Ce opened his lips coldly.

What he cared more about was Qin Zhao’s feelings.

"I don't want the emperor to become a fool. Anyway, I understand the emperor's intentions, but I don't need the emperor to do these things." Qin Zhao said seriously.

She is happier than all the women in this harem, including the Empress Dowager.

How many people are having difficulty seeing Xiao Ce, but she is held in her hand by a cold-hearted person like him. Although there were many regrets in the previous life, what else can she be dissatisfied with them in this life?

Xiao Ce looked at Qin Zhao and did not answer the conversation.

It was he who unilaterally wanted to make up for the warmth he could not give her in his previous life, but she no longer needed it in this life. What he could understand was that she was no longer the woman who loved him passionately in her previous life.

In her previous life, she would be jealous of him and heartbroken for him because she loved him deeply. In this life, she only began to please him recently.

In other words, during the years she and him, she actually no longer loved him.

"The future is long, and we still have a lifetime." Xiao Ce touched the top of her head: "I will take you out of the palace for a walk another day."

Qin Zhao said two words: "Really?"

Xiao Ce opened his lips calmly: "You go and take a bath and go to bed."

Qin Zhao agreed with a smile and turned around and walked away.

Xiao Ce took a book to read, and remembered the way her eyes lit up just now. When she saw the fireworks that belonged to her, her eyes were not so bright because she no longer cared about these so-called romances in this life.

He remembered that she wanted to leave the palace completely more than once, so what she loved most in her life was not him, but freedom and life outside the palace?
