Xia Qianqian watched from the side with a smile on her face.
It was not until everyone had finished chatting and noticed her that she said, "Don't worry, Changsheng will arrange everything in the capital."
Madam Gu discussed it quietly with Gu Changde and Gu Changlin and agreed: "Okay, we'll go with you!"
"Okay, let's go home and pack up for two days, take care of all the trivial matters at home, and then we'll go to Beijing!" said Gu Changsheng.
Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Liu were very haggard and had no strength to walk over the mountains and across the rivers to get home.
Gu Changde took Liu on one horse, and Gu Changlin took Madam Gu on another horse. Under the protection of Li Rong and the guards, they walked out of the forest in a mighty manner.
The story of Gu Changsheng single-handedly rescuing the Gu family from the robbers spread quickly from Yangliu Village to Pingning Town and then to Pan County...
A few days later, when Gu Changsheng and his family set off for Beijing, the news had already reached the capital.
The King of Qi and his wife were very happy to hear the news, as it showed that Gu Changsheng was both brave and resourceful, and had the talent to be a general!
However, Gu Changsheng had just overthrown the King of Qin, and his soft yet sword-wielding moves had attracted many people's attention.
While everyone admired him, they also felt wary of him.
Including emperors.
Since ancient times, it has been believed that emperors are the most suspicious.
Rumors began to spread in the capital that were unfavorable to Gu Changsheng...
Princess Qi was very worried and asked the King of Qi, "Your Majesty, the King of Qin has too many followers. Now the capital is full of rumors that are unfavorable to Changsheng. What should we do next?"
"Let's wait for Changsheng to come back and see what he thinks!" King Qi stroked his beard.
Although he regained his former glory, his heart had been dulled by the years.
He no longer had any interest in a career in politics, and he didn't want Changsheng to follow in his footsteps.
Those who have achieved great success usually don't have a good ending.
But those who have done nothing can live in peace.
As the prince of the Prince of Qi's Palace, even if he never served in the palace throughout his life, his life would not be too bad.
Everything depends on Gu Changsheng's choice.
If he insisted on choosing officialdom, he could only support him.
"Your Highness, don't you want to revitalize the Qi Palace?" Princess Qi asked, "If you don't go to the Emperor to explain, I'm afraid the rumor will become true."
The King of Qi said, "Changsheng is too young. I am afraid he will suffer in the future. It would be better to let him experience the dangers of officialdom as early as possible."
Princess Qi was shocked: "Does your Majesty no longer want to revive the Qi Palace?"
"Princess, the Qi Palace has been in decline for so many years, haven't you thought it through? Now that the Qin King has fallen, everyone says that the Qi Palace will gain power. After what happened with the Qin King, the Emperor will be even more cautious. Seizing power at this time is not a good idea." The Qi King said.
Princess Qi thought for a moment and sighed, "Now that the country is peaceful and the people are at peace, the emperor really doesn't need too many powerful royal relatives. Then listen to the prince and let Changsheng choose for himself!"
"Yes." King Qi nodded, "Go and make some preparations. After the matter of King Qin is settled, let Changsheng and Xia Qianqian get married! Let those who want to get close to you give up as soon as possible."
"Okay." Princess Qi went to get busy.
Ever since Gu Changsheng inherited the throne of the Crown Prince, all the dignitaries in the capital have been coming to Prince Qi's mansion to propose marriage, openly or secretly. It's so annoying!
Why didn't they come when the Prince of Qi's Palace was in decline
Those young ladies from wealthy families marrying in, each with their own family power and purpose, would only bring disaster. It would be better to marry Xia Qianqian, so that she would be clean and not be involved in the affairs of the court.
As a mother-in-law, she also enjoys the peace and quiet.
