Chapter 1887
1887 Don’t let your own fertile water flow into others ‘fields
The Emperor bestowed the Gu family with a large Manor, which was once King Qu’s residence.
Initially, the Emperor did not want to give it to her. After all, King qu did not have a good ending. However, Gu shouxin had asked for the opinion of his family. In addition, the Grand Emperor and Empress Dowager also had the same intention, so the Emperor gave it to her.
If they did not reward the residence of King qu, the Emperor intended to immediately send people from the Ministry of Works to build one. This was too much of a waste of manpower and resources. The Gu family was not willing, and neither was the Grand Empress Dowager.
The Grand Empress Dowager could see that although the Emperor had chosen the Crown Prince, he was still thinking of returning the throne. He was using all sorts of methods to bewitch her second grandson. The Grand Empress Dowager was actually not that stubborn about whether her own child should be the Emperor.
She had protected the late Emperor and the current Emperor for more than thirty years and had seen through many things. She really wished that her children and grandchildren would not be so tired and not have to bear such a heavy burden.
One could say that she was selfish or short-sighted.
Since the emperor’s bloodline had taken the throne, then they should be the ones to take it. Changing it halfway through was not good for the imperial family, and not good for the entire great Zhou.
The people from the Ministry of Works had already been ordered to repair the qu King’s residence. The qu King’s bloodline had been gone a few years ago, so the residence had been empty for a few years. Many places needed to be repaired.
Before Gu shouxin and the others arrived in the capital, the house would definitely be built.
When Grandpa and Grandma Gu arrived in the capital, the king of quicksand moved out of the Embassy to live in the Gu family. This was his aunt’s house, which looked exactly like his mother.
Third aunt Gu was in a good mood now that she had a cousin. She began to teach the king of quicksand how to play Mahjong. Then, she called Lu Xue and Grandpa Zhou to join her at the table.
A few days later, Cheng huaijin also arrived in the capital. He first went to the Embassy and met with the princes of the Western Region before returning to the Gu family.
That night, grandfather Gu brought the king of quicksand Kingdom and Cheng huaijin to the palace alone to visit the Emperor.
The Emperor took a look and saw that the only Prince of quicksand country was from the great Zhou Dynasty. He was handsome and young. Otherwise, there was no need to examine him further. If he could gain the trust of the Gu family, what was the point of examining him?
The Emperor did not directly ask him if he was engaged. He waited until the next day to come out of the palace in plain clothes and visit the Gu family. He quietly asked Grandpa and Grandma Gu.
Grandpa Gu explained Cheng huaijin’s situation, but grandma Gu directly rejected the emperor’s good intentions.
The Emperor was bewildered,”Royal aunt, this child is so good, it’s impossible for him to have a relationship with sisi, right?” We don’t leave our fertile water for outsiders, so you give it to this nephew!”
“He has nothing to do with sisi,” grandma Gu said. However, he was not suitable for the princesses in the palace. He had a marriage fate with other girls. Your Majesty, little Jin’s sister, you’ve sealed the title of the West Princess. This time, we’ll go back to his hometown with him and hide the child. The Warlock he hired looked at the time and location. Out of concern for this child, your Imperial uncle asked one more question. The Warlock said that he was destined to appear by his side. The relationship between the two of them was very strong. If someone wanted to break it, it would not affect the two of them, but it would have a great impact on the person who wanted to break it. So, Your Majesty, you should give up on this idea!”
“Your Royal aunt is right,” grandfather Gu chuckled. Little Jin saved Xinxin, and he’s the adopted son of your Royal aunt’s biological sister. We’re really worried about him. Seeing how he has no desire, I’m afraid that he’ll spend the rest of his life in the West, so I asked.”
