Chapter 44
The next day, Gu Qing entered the palace just after leaving the morning court.

When he came and went to Yong'anbo Mansion, he never thought of avoiding others. Emperor Chongming knew that he wanted to marry Yu Xia early on, but he didn't expect him to move so fast.

"Really sure?"

"A good girl asks for hundreds of families, but my nephew must first settle down."

"Don't think that I only care about state affairs, this Yu Xia has a bad reputation."

"It was spread by people with a heart indiscriminately, in order to tarnish her reputation."

"You're protecting me before I get married. Does your father know about this marriage?"

"Before coming here, I have already informed my father and king."

"Forget it, since you are determined, then I will help you."

With a stroke of his pen, Emperor Chongming completed the marriage edict.

Gu Qingshi took the betrothal gift with him, followed the eunuch who went to declare the imperial edict, and played all the way to Yong'an Bo's Mansion.

Everyone in the Yu family knelt down in the courtyard to receive the imperial edict, and the marriage was completed.

Gu Qingshi asked someone to see it. It was found on the eighth day of April that it was an auspicious day. The weather was cool and it was a good day to get married.Old Mrs. Yu didn't show it on her face that she could become an in-law with Prince Taiping, but she was actually very happy about this marriage in her heart. As soon as the matchmaker mentioned the date of the wedding, she agreed immediately.

In a blink of an eye, there are only two months left before Yu Xia gets married.

The marriage was decided hastily, the Jiji ceremony will be in one month, and the marriage will be in two months.Originally, Yu Xia was not conspicuous in the aristocratic family, but now she has become the future Princess Taiping, and suddenly became a man of the capital, invitations from various families were continuously sent to the Yu family, but Yu Xia didn't respond to any of them.

"Why did my sister reject all these posts?" Ye Wu asked while helping Yun Yun record the names of the various families who sent the posts.

Since the downfall of Prime Minister Ye, the Ye family has stayed behind closed doors, while Ye Wu has become much more free, often going to sit in Yu Xia's courtyard when he has nothing to do.

Yu Xia was so busy during this time that her feet didn't touch the ground, and she just happened to catch her as a "strong man".

"I was deeply impressed by many people who sent me invitations. Look at the Liu family. Their daughter made fun of me the most during Princess Luoyang's flower viewing party. It was called an invitation, but it was actually to see how well I handled it. And the Xu family, I heard that the family has been an empty shell for a long time. They spend all day pretending to be fat, so they invited me over. They really thought I was stupid and had too much money."

"My sister is really well informed, did the prince tell you all about it?"

"Of course not. He also has his affairs to be busy. You can find out the news after a little inquiry. Why do you need his help?"

"Sometimes, I really envy my sister."

"What do you envy me for?"

"I...if only I could be like a sister."

"My sister is also very nice. She is quiet and considerate. I don't know which young master would be lucky enough to marry you."

"With my status, who will marry me?"

"Sister, don't be ashamed of yourself. When I finish these things, I will introduce one to my sister. My sister has saved my life, and your business is mine. Sister, tell me first, what kind of clothes do you like?" man?"

"No, no need!" Ye Wu stood up abruptly, grabbed the handkerchief on the table hastily, "I still have something to do, let's go first."

She hurried out the door and happened to meet Gu Qing who was busy with the affairs of the house. Seeing him, Ye Wu became even more panicked and ran away without even saying hello.

"She looks like she was chased by wolves." Gu Qingshi sat down familiarly.

"I don't know. I told her to introduce her to the marriage, and Sister Wu ran away as if she couldn't wait to get married."

"Oh, maybe I'm shy when it comes to marriage."

"Would it? I always feel that Sister Wu is a little weird today. The person I know is not such a flustered person."

"Maybe something is really wrong. Don't think about it. I am your real savior. Why do you care more about an outsider than me?"

"What do you care about? The accounts of the public school have been settled? Have you checked the land deed and Zhuangzi in the mansion? Are you holding the deed of selling your life for the servant?"

Gu Qingshi's experience was also somewhat tortuous. He was originally born by the first concubine of King Taiping, but his biological mother suffered a hemorrhage during childbirth and passed away after more than a year of lingering illness.The current Princess Taiping is the sister-in-law of Gu Qingshi's biological mother. She is six years younger than King Taiping, and she wants to marry him when she cries, makes trouble and hangs herself.

King Taiping originally thought that this sister-in-law was Gu Qingshi's biological aunt after all. Her bones were broken but her tendons were still attached. She would definitely not let his nephew go unnoticed, so he married her.Who would have thought that Princess Taiping had been jealous of her eldest sister early on, and regarded her son as a thorn in her side. After establishing a foothold, she attacked Gu Qingshi many times. If the nanny hadn't been clever enough to avoid it, she would have succeeded. .

King Taiping is a man of great affection. He and his wife had known each other early and had a deep relationship. He was very annoyed that his eldest son almost died.

However, his step-wife has also given birth to a daughter and two sons for him, and the two sons are rare twins, but they cannot be killed, so they can only save her life, lock her in a side courtyard, and take her away. The power of the family.

All the affairs in the mansion were decided by the housekeeper, now that Gu Qingshi had agreed to the marriage, King Taiping happily handed over the affairs of the housekeeper to him.

Yu Xia knew that Gu Qingshi had already taken over the mess in the palace, so she asked this question.

Thinking about the bad things going on in the mansion, Gu Qing rubbed the center of his brows irritably, "Most of the people in the mansion are old people, and they have been in the mansion since my father was enshrined, some of them were appointed by the queen mother, and some of them were left by my stepmother. There are only a few people who are my mother, although it is enough to protect me, it is not enough to order them to do things."

In other words, Gu Qingshi lacks capable assistants.

"It's rare to see you still have such a difficult time."

"The empress dowager's people can't move, and the stepmother's people hide too deeply. The water in Prince Taiping's mansion is indeed very muddy."

"Since all of them can't be moved, then don't take any of them." Yu Xia didn't hesitate, "Didn't you say that they are all old people in the house? Then use the excuse of our newlyweds to let them all out and raise them, and then give them some money to sever them. Fei, if anyone doesn't want to leave, it means he has something up his sleeve, so he needs to catch a few of them and interrogate them carefully to scare the monkeys!"

Indeed, it should be a good thing to have money without having to be a servant. If there are still people who are not happy with this, either he is pushing his feet, or he has a ghost in his heart!No matter what kind, you should ask carefully, and if you are not sure, you can find out something by following the clues.

"As for the vacancies in the palace, you might as well ask the emperor to recommend some manpower. Although the emperor is your biological uncle, there is no pure family affection in the royal family. Anyway, we have nothing to do with others, so you can be regarded as surrendering to the emperor. He won’t say no.”

Gu Qing rubbed her head wholeheartedly, "Just as Ah Ruo said."

"Humph, it turns out that I'm better at taking care of the back house than you are."

"Yeah, I'm desperately looking forward to marrying you into the mansion."

"Speak less nice words, and use more practical actions. Yunyun, have all the materials for the kitchen been prepared?"

"Go back, girl, everything is ready."

Yu Xia stretched out a hand, "Please, Chef Gu."

Gu Qingshi did not go to the palace immediately after leaving the Yong'anbo mansion, but stayed in the palace for another half a month, taking care of the mansion in the mansion, and then went to give the memorial to Emperor Chongming.

In fact, according to the practice of the previous dynasty, as the emperor's younger brother, King Taiping should be a vassal, and the fief has been selected long ago. It is in the south of the Yangtze River and is very rich. It can be seen that Emperor Chongming is also very fond of this brother who is connected with his blood. Generous.

But the Empress Dowager kept blocking her from leaving, for fear that their mother and son would never see each other again after King Taiping left, and she also loved the three children born to Gu Qingshi's stepmother, so she recruited them into the palace every now and then. .In comparison, Gu Qingshi looked like a pitiful little boy. Emperor Chongming had a preference for him, and apart from the crown prince, only Gu Qingshi had his advice.

"Why did you suddenly think of dismissing the servants?" Emperor Chongming, who was reviewing the memorial, sat up straight.

Gu Qingshi blinked, "The house is full of old people who served my father when he first moved in. They respect my father very much, but they always rely on their elders for my son. Although my nephew is in charge of the house, his words are not as good as Luoyang works."

It's a shame to say that.

Taking the salary I gave you, but doing other people's business, it's really annoying!
"Send everyone away, who will do the work?"

"My nephew's way of observing people's hearts is really superficial. My father went to the hot spring village to recuperate. He told my nephew not to look for him if there is nothing serious. The emperor's grandmother is getting old, and my nephew can't bear her old age. After thinking about it, I can only ask Uncle Huang to assign me a few people."

"Have you made up your mind?"

"Think about it, it doesn't matter who you are, as long as you can do things in a down-to-earth way, the only thing is, Yu Xia is my wife, and her affairs are my affairs, so when doing things in the palace, Yu Xia should be the first."

"You protect him, that's all, go back and wait."

"Thank you, Uncle Huang, nephew."

Not long after Gu Qingshi returned to the palace, Emperor Chongming personally issued an edict and transferred 30 people from his own private treasury to the Taiping Palace as a reward for Gu Qingshi's wedding.

Gu Qingshi is the most favored nephew around him, it is not surprising that he bestowed rewards on his wedding, but this is the first time he has given dozens of servants.

After hearing the news, the Queen Mother rushed over immediately, "Why are you sending everyone out?"

"They are all old people in the mansion. The child in Qingshi was kind-hearted, and he didn't want them to be burdened in the mansion when they were old. After they left the mansion, they would receive monthly rewards."

"Since they're all used to it, let's stay in the mansion. The palace is so big, it's impossible not to have no one to take care of it."

"My son has already sent someone over."

"That's how many? If you want to tell the Ai family, the old man is comfortable in serving you."

Gu Qingshi was not a person who would lie in front of Emperor Chongming, at most he avoided talking about it.Looking at the children who grew up, he understood a little bit. Emperor Chongming immediately asked someone to investigate the affairs of the Taiping Palace.

In the palace, there are people from Gu Qingshi's stepmother, people from Gu Qingshi's stepmother's natal family, people from Luoyang Princess, people from the eldest princess, and people from the Queen Mother, but there is no King Taiping!Even what Gu Qing can call is only a few loyal servants left by his biological mother!
