It was the fault of the old man who was willing to help him travel through time. He was obviously Gu Yanjing, but he didn't allow him to use Gu Yanjing's identity to meet Xia Qianqian in person! He had to let him fall in love with Xia Qianqian again under a new identity!
He was also left with a sickly body, which could not heal until Xia Qianqian fell in love with him again and married him.
Originally, Gu Changsheng planned to take three years to complete this task.
But now it seems that we can’t wait that long…
"Oh, then you two are close friends regardless of age difference!" The Imperial Concubine was deeply regretful. "I was thinking that if the master is willing to come out of seclusion, I would be willing to hire him with a large sum of money!"
"I am not talented, but I am willing to serve the Imperial Concubine!" Xia Qianqian said at the right time.
If we can't invite a master, it's good to be able to keep Xia Qianqian!
The Imperial Concubine was very happy: "That's great. I have the best clay, the best pigments, and the best kilns here for you to use as you please! Whatever you need, just say I can satisfy you!"
Xia Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief.
She is finally going to become the master of royal porcelain!
But since ancient times, the royal family has been deep. She did not dare to agree directly, but used her eyes to seek Gu Changsheng's opinion.
It was not until Gu Changsheng nodded at him that she said, "My Lady, I am willing to do it. However, I am still young, and my mother is worried that I don't understand the rules of the capital and will cause trouble for you."
The Imperial Concubine smiled and said, "I understand your concerns. I can see that you are not an ordinary boudoir girl. All talented people in the world are different from others. Don't worry, I will make decisions for you in the future."
Xia Qianqian then accepted the task: "Thank you, Imperial Concubine, for the promotion. I will devote my entire life to making porcelain well. I hope that I can make a better breakthrough than the colored porcelain pillow in the future."
Just then, a young eunuch came in and whispered a few words to the Imperial Concubine.
The Imperial Concubine's face changed drastically, and she immediately slammed the table and stood up: "Excuse me, how dare you kill someone you like!"
Xia Qianqian's heart also skipped a beat.
The Imperial Concubine asked Xia Qianqian: "Did you encounter a killer on your way to Beijing?"
"Yes, it was very thrilling and I almost died." Xia Qianqian said.
"That man is the King of Qin, right?" the Imperial Concubine asked again.
Xia Qianqian knelt down hurriedly, trembling with fear: "My Lady, on my way to Beijing, I did meet several groups of people. At first, they just wanted to steal the colored porcelain pillow. Before I set out, I split my troops into two groups, pretending to build a plank road but secretly crossing Chencang, and asked Qin Ge to fool them with cracked porcelain. Later, when they found out, they wanted to take my life. Fortunately, when I was about to reach the capital, I met the people sent by the Prince of Qi's Mansion to protect me, so I was able to ask them to help me deliver the colored porcelain pillow to the capital!"
The Imperial Concubine was even more furious upon hearing this, and immediately ordered someone to investigate the matter. She then comforted Xia Qianqian, "Don't be afraid. I know what's going on, and I will protect you. Just go to the porcelain kiln outside the capital and make porcelain well."
Gu Changsheng interrupted at the right time: "My Lady, Qianqian and I are already engaged, so it would be better for her to live in Prince Qi's Mansion."
The Imperial Concubine understood this subtle hint.
She smiled and said, "Your Highness, don't worry. Xia Qianqian is your future Crown Prince's Consort, and she is my niece's wife. How could I let her become a porcelain worker? I want her to study the porcelain firing technology and teach it to others."
