094 Dowry, to disturb the good things of Qiancheng
The queen's position in the harem was awkward. If it weren't for the interests involved, the queen would not have looked after Qin Jiyan and would have devoted herself to helping Qin Jiyan rise to power.
Although no matter who becomes the emperor, the queen will become the queen mother, but...
The power and honor of the queen mother depend on the emperor. The new emperor has a mother himself, so even if he respects the queen as the queen mother, it is just in vain.
King Rong, King Zhou and King Zhao. These three adult princes have powerful families and their biological mother is here. If any one of them succeeds to the throne, the queen will have to step aside. However, Qin Jiyan's succession is different.
.
Qin Jiyan is the eldest grandson of the emperor, and his mother died young. If Qin Jiyan succeeded to the throne, the queen would be honored as the empress dowager, and there would be no emperor's biological mother to look down on the empress dowager.
The Queen is helping Qin Jiyan now. After Qin Jiyan ascends the throne in the future, as long as the Queen does not go too far, she will be indispensable for her glory and wealth in the rest of her life...
No matter how you choose, Qin Jiyan is the best choice for the queen who has no son. Similarly, Qin Jiyan also needs someone to help him pay attention to the trends in the harem. When the queen throws out an olive branch, how can Qin Jiyan not accept it?
principle.
The Queen and Qin Jiyan each took what they needed. Although they were somewhat sincere, their sincerity was also driven by their own interests. Qin Jiyan understood this clearly.
When Qin Jiyan paid his respects to the queen, Jin Yiwei's minions also took action quickly, using their own methods to collect evidence from the officials of the Ministry of Punishment...
The third uncle of the Gu family is naturally among them, but what is interesting is that Gu Qiancheng's name has never appeared from beginning to end. Even though she has a close relationship with King Qin, there is no news about her.
In the emperor's ears.
Without any preparation, how could Qin Jiyan dare to use Gu Qiancheng, and how could he dare to take Gu Qiancheng to Chunyi Tower so carelessly...
King Zhao, King Rong, and King Zhou are indeed powerful, and even the youngest fifth prince is not simple, but so what?
Their strength is obvious. When Grandpa Huang is angry, he can pick them all off just by raising his hand. But what about him?
Grandpa Huang wants to move, but he can't find a place to start...
Not long after, the emperor came. He had a smile on his face, and there was no hint that he had just given an order to clean up the Ministry of Justice. Qin Jiyan was not stupid enough to show it, and the three of them were living happily...
Gu Qiancheng was not idle either. Qin Jiyan said that someone would come to carry the dowry tonight, so she must tell the old man that she would leave the city in three days...
The old man has already agreed to the dowry, and he won't say anything even if his heart hurts. He can only secretly pray that the investment is worth it.
However, from the current point of view, the investment is not a loss. Prince Zhao has given up a few positions, and finally someone in the Gu family can occupy a key position in the real power department.
And all this is because of the news and help given by King Qin.
It's just that he will leave the city in three days, which makes the old man quite confused: "When will you come back?"
"It's hard to say. If His Highness the King of Qin doesn't speak, I don't dare to come back alone." This time he was really working for the King of Qin, so Gu Qiancheng felt confident.
"Where is Prince Chu's illness?" This is what the old man is most worried about.
Gu Qiancheng smiled brightly and joked: "Grandpa, this matter can't be rushed. It's not a business to catch up with others. If we rush to get the medicine to Prince Zhao's Mansion, not only will we lose the rank, but we will also arouse Prince Zhao's suspicion, thinking that this is
Everything was planned by us, and when the time comes, the gains will really outweigh the losses."
"Grandpa certainly understands this, but..." The old man gave Gu Qiancheng a deep look: "Grandpa is uneasy if this matter is not settled."
When something goes wrong, Gu Qiancheng still has Qin Jiyan as his backer. There is only one Concubine Gu in the Gu family. What Concubine Gu can do to help is to blow the pillow in the emperor's ear, and she can't do anything in front of the court.
"Grandpa, why are you worried about His Highness King Qin's promise? If Grandpa is worried, Qiancheng will urge His Highness King Qin this time." Gu Qiancheng picked up the tea in front of him, blew away the tea bubbles floating on the water, and gently
I took a sip gently, feeling relaxed and natural...
The old man nodded lightly and did not ask any more questions. Gu Qiancheng put down his teacup and reciprocated the favor: "Grandpa, Chengyi has stayed at home for too long. He doesn't want to go to the academy, so let me go to Xuyu Temple for a walk. Chengyi
I'm still young, so I guess the nunnery master won't care."
What this actually means is that Qin Jiyan won't care.
"You want to take Chengyi with you?" The old man's eyes lit up: Qiancheng has such a face in front of King Qin?
"It's good for a boy to go out for a walk." The old man was slightly dissatisfied about Prince Chu. Gu Qiancheng was trying to find a way to remedy the situation and let the old man see how much she cared about the Gu family.
How could the old man be dissatisfied: "I'll inform your third uncle later and ask him to pack Chengyi's things. It would be good for you two siblings to go and stay in Xuyu nunnery for a while."
The old man was very satisfied, but he didn't want the women in the Gu family's backyard to go to Xuyu Temple with Qiancheng to offer incense as soon as the news spread.
The cause of the incident was Mrs. Gu. When Mrs. Gu knew the news, she thought that Gu Qiancheng must be doing something secretly. Even if he didn't do anything, Mrs. Gu would still sabotage Gu Qiancheng's trip.
That night, Mrs. Gu mentioned a few words in front of the old lady, saying vaguely that Gu Qiancheng's visit to Xu Yu'an this time was for a private meeting with King Qin outside the city.
It's not important whether it's true or false. What's important is that the old lady believed it and the second lady also believed it.
The old lady thought that she could not let Chengyi win the favor of the King of Qin alone. There were three grandchildren in the Gu family. Chengzhi did not mention it, but Chenghuan was her beloved eldest grandson. Nothing could be said to wrong this eldest grandson.
Anyone can go to Xu Yuan. If Gu Qiancheng went there, she would naturally go there too. The old lady then thought about taking Chenghuan with her...
The news reached the ears of the second lady. The second lady thought that her daughter was as beautiful as a flower, no worse than Gu Qiancheng. She also loved the King of Qin wholeheartedly. If she wanted the King of Qin to see her daughter, the King of Qin would definitely be tempted. Her daughter's wish was also
It can be achieved, so...
The women in the Gu family's backyard, except for the third wife, all decided to go to Xuyu Temple with Gu Qiancheng in three days. In order to travel smoothly, they did not tell the old man, let alone Gu Qiancheng.
In fact, even if Gu Qiancheng knew it, he would not have time to care about them, because that night, King Qin sent someone to collect the dowry.
When Gu Qiancheng checked the list of dowry that day, he separated out all the things that could be sold and those that could not be sold. All the group needed was the King of Qin's men to come in and carry them.
Gu Qiancheng didn't pack away the large pieces of furniture or fabrics. These things take up space and aren't very valuable, so it's not a bad deal to sell them.
Gu Qiancheng packed away the rare treasures in the dowry and packed all the valuable antique calligraphy and paintings into boxes, not to mention the gold and silver.
These items are valuable but don't take up a lot of space. This way, there won't be too many boxes and they can be transported that night.
As for the lock on the front door?
Gu Qiancheng would only see something evil in his eyes...
