Chapter 68 The Dowry of the Late Emperor
Seeing that Gu Fengqi agreed to return, Ying Dongjun did not bother him, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "General Gu, don't forget. If nothing else, General Gu can take your people back."
Gu Fengqi turned around and left without saying a word, and his pace was three points faster than when he came.
Zhou Yan hurriedly followed and stared at them leaving the princess's mansion.
After everyone left, Xiao Jixiang took out something from his sleeve and handed it to Ying Dongjun like a treasure. When Ying Dongjun saw it, he found another book called "The Legend of Qionglou"
Ying Dongjun laughed out loud, "Why is there one more volume? Didn't you buy only fifty volumes?"
Xiao Jixiang looked proud: General Gu saw that he had never bought anything himself. I bought fifty copies at once. Wouldn't the store give me one as a bonus?
Ying Dongjun rolled up the book and pointed at him, "You are such a clever little ghost!"
Xiao Jixiang: They are all princesses!
Hua Mian looked at the master and servant who were praising each other and quietly retreated out.
Xiao Jixiang glanced at Hua Mian's back as he left, put away the laughter on her face, and asked: She will report what she had just done, is it important for the princess to find Gu Fengqi to get back?
Ying Dongjun thought for a while and said, "It seems that others are not an extremely important thing."
Xiao Jixiang nodded, laughed again, and gestured: Princess ordered me to buy books. Could it be that it was just to wait for Gu Fengqi to come to you and give you something?
Ying Dongjun picked up the book in his hand and knocked on his forehead, "Do you know again?"
Xiao Jixiang tried hard to hold up his thin little breasts: Following the princess all day long, Xiao Jixiang will certainly become smarter and smarter! In the future, the princess will be at ease to leave many things to me!
Ying Dongjun smiled and said, "Then you have to keep working hard."
Xiao Jixiang nodded with a smile.
Gu Fengqi really kept his promise and ordered someone to deliver a one-foot-square-meter red sandalwood box to the princess's mansion in less than two hours. He also brought a message saying that he had divorced the princess.
After hearing this, Xiao Jixiang became furious and gestured: The princess hasn't told him yet, why should he tell the princess? Did he forget that he is a bastard who is kind, selfish, selfish, and just wants to share wealth and prosperity, and refuses to share hardships?
The princess was not angry at all. She opened the box and looked at it, and said rationally: "You can't say that. The doctor concluded that I would never wake up again, and I couldn't let Gu Fengqi wait. He had waited for a few years, and it was reasonable for him to marry someone else afterwards."
Xiao Jixiang was a little puzzled when he heard this: Didn’t the princess always scold him for being unscrupulous and having a very poor vision? Why did he speak for him today?
Princess Chengping showed a big smile at Xiao Jixiang, pointed to the box and said, "Gu Fengqi sent the things to me without falling down! I saw him a little like him."
Xiao Jixiang had indeed had such an expression on his face. He also leaned over, looked at the box, and then looked confused.
There were many things in the box, including a pair of jade qilin paperweights, a square inkstone, a few pieces of ink, a few pens, a dagger with gems on the hilt and scabbard, a few Buddhist scriptures, a statue of Guanyin, a pair of jade pendants with phoenixes and sing patterns, and a golden key. It is undeniable that each of these things is a treasure, and even those Buddhist scriptures are handwritten by famous artists, but it is very strange.
Xiao Jixiang couldn't help but ask: These are the rewards given to Gu Fengqi by the late emperor? What did the late emperor reward him with these?
Princess Chengping took out everything and looked at it, put it back, and said with a smile: "You don't understand this. These are my father's expectations for the prince-consort. The four treasures of the study want him to be outstanding in literary talent, the dagger hopes that he has the ability to protect his wife and children, the Buddhist scriptures and Guanyin statues are to bless him without illness and disasters, and the life is smooth, and the jade pendant is to bless the prince-consort and me for a long time."
After a moment of silence, Xiao Jixiang gave a thumbs up and said: The late emperor thought so thoughtful! What about this golden key? What does it mean?
Princess Chengping held the half-slap golden key in her hand and smiled brightly, "This key has no purpose. He is just a key for unlocking. It was originally a copper one, but the father might have despised the copper key not looking good here, so he asked someone to hit the gold one according to the copper key. Alas, the father has always liked some flashy things."
As he said that, Princess Chengping handed the key to Xiao Jixiang, "You can take this key to go to Sitong Money House and help me take out the things that exist in the Money House."
Xiao Jixiang took the key and ran to Sitong Money House without saying a word. An hour later, he brought the box back. This box was much smaller than the one Gu Fengqi sent it, only two palms the size of.
After Xiao Jixiang handed the box to Princess Chengping, she waited aside with curiosity, waiting for the princess to unbox it, wanting to see what it contained inside, which is worth the princess to attract Gu Fengqi to her.
Princess Chengping opened the box. Xiao Jixiang saw that there were only a few pieces of paper inside. After the princess took out the pieces of paper and unfolded it, Xiao Jixiang saw clearly that it turned out to be a land deed.
Xiao Jixiang: Land Deed?
Princess Chengping nodded: "Yes."
Xiao Jixiang leaned over again and looked at the land deed carefully, but found that although it was not small in the northwest corner of the capital, it was almost close to the outskirts of Beijing.
He couldn't help but think: It seems that the late emperor was not very satisfied with Gu Fengqi, the prince-consort, and the betrothal gift he gave was not generous at all.
Princess Chengping seemed to know what Xiao Jixiang was thinking and smiled and said, "This place is very good, it's a waste for Gu Fengqi, so I've got it back."
Xiao Jixiang: What's the good thing?
Princess Chengping thought for a while, "Take you to see it next day."
At this time, Hua Mian knocked on the door and walked in. After the salute, her eyes paused on the small box in Princess Chengping's hand.
Xiao Jixiang pointed at him and made an action of digging his eyes.
Hua Mian quickly turned her eyes away and did not dare to look at her again. She raised her hand and gestured to the princess: Princess, nanny asked when the time will come?
Princess Chengping handed the box to Xiao Jixiang, asked him to put it away first, and then said to Huamian: "Go to the morning."
Hua Mian was a little surprised. She didn't understand the difference between tomorrow and today, and suspected that the princess was just talking casually. However, she didn't ask anything, just nodded, and after she went out, she spread the news to the palace.
No one expected that the morning court of the next day, the Censorate attacked the Empress Dowager first, and impeached the Empress Dowager's wife to be detrimental to the virtues, which led to rumors among the people, and asked the Empress Dowager to issue an edict immediately.
The ministers were in an uproar.
The empress dowager behind the pearl curtain looked coldly at the impeachment censor below the steps and suddenly said, "Pull this person down to me."
The ministers were in an uproar again.
When the censor was stripped of the court ward by the flying cavalry guards who rushed to the hall, he was still confused. He was about to be pulled out, and he shouted loudly: "I am a censor. Since the founding of the Great Sage Dynasty, no censor has been convicted for his words, Empress!"
