Han Yuqing was shocked: "What is the relationship between my cousin and Prince Qi's Mansion?"
The King of Qin laughed loudly: "You don't know yet, do you? Gu Changsheng is not actually your cousin, and his last name is not Gu. He is the child of the King of Qi!"
"Oh my God!" Han Yuqing exclaimed, covering her mouth.
The King of Qin looked at her meaningfully and said, "It seems your father was so busy that he didn't tell you anything!"
Han Yuqing said: "My father is just a teacher, how could he know these royal secrets?"
In fact, my heart was so happy that it seemed like a flower was blooming.
She had long guessed that Gu Changsheng was no simple person, but she never expected that he would be the noble Prince of Qi.
No wonder her father insisted that she come to the capital and become the adopted daughter of the King of Qin. Because only in this way could she be worthy of the status of the Crown Prince!
Han Yuqing felt elated when she thought about the future when she would be the Crown Prince's Consort of Prince Qi's Mansion.
"I heard that you two grew up together as childhood sweethearts. As for me, I have some old grudges with the King of Qi, and we have never been on good terms. If you can become the King of Qi's daughter-in-law, then our relationship will be broken."
Han Yuqing nodded shyly: "My cousin and I grew up together, so we are indeed closer than others, but..."
Han Yuqing paused in the middle of his words.
"But what?" asked the King of Qin.
Han Yuqing hesitated for a moment and whispered, "My cousin already has a woman he likes..."
The King of Qin looked down on him, "He grew up in the countryside, so he must like country girls who are not presentable. Not to mention that the Emperor disagrees, even the King of Qi would not agree to him marrying a country girl! After all, a girl worthy of the prince must be a famous lady from the capital!"
"But that person is Xia Qianqian."
King Qin was shocked: "Isn't Xia Qianqian the girl who can make porcelain?"
"That's her." Han Yuqing nodded. "Not only is she good at making porcelain, she's also very smart. My cousin and I were originally going to get engaged, but it was ruined because of her intervention. That's why I came to Beijing for the beauty pageant."
The King of Qin nodded thoughtfully: "So that's how it is..."
I originally thought that Xia Qianqian was just a porcelain maker, but I didn't expect that she would be related to Prince Qi's Mansion.
Given the relationship between Gu Changsheng and Xia Qianqian, Xia Qianqian would definitely help the King of Qi. At that time, the Imperial Concubine would definitely stand on the side of the King of Qi.
No! Apart from the emperor, the only one who is in power in the capital is the King of Qin.
The King of Qi has kept a low profile for so many years, and is now critically ill. He must not give the King of Qi a chance to turn things around!
Han Yuqing observed his words and understood a little. She said tentatively: "Foster father, Xia Qianqian is really a talent. If you can recruit her for your own use, there will be no problem with the Imperial Concubine. Otherwise, if the Prince of Qi gets there first..."
"Someone, help me bring Xia Qianqian here. No matter what the process or means, I just want to capture her alive!" King Qin ordered.
"Yes!" Several guards hurriedly left the house to carry out the order.
Han Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief and sneered in his heart: Xia Qianqian, so what if you got there first and snatched my cousin? Your status is too low, you are not worthy of him at all! You are only worthy of being a porcelain burner for the rest of your life!

At the same time, Xia Qianqian's carriage was moving forward with difficulty on the muddy road.
It had been raining heavily all night and had not stopped yet. But she could not stay in the dilapidated temple to take shelter from the rain.
Taking advantage of the fact that the rain had subsided a little, we started on our journey.
The heavy rain made the soil soft and the wheels were covered with mud. Fortunately, before Xia Qianqian set off, she exchanged two strong horses from the ones provided by the Gu family, and the driver of the Qin family was also quite skilled, so they could barely make the journey.
