Chapter 216 The Emperor Who Is Best at Business
Qi Wenyuan ordered the guards behind him to pack up all the jades and take them back to Prince Haoshan's Palace.
"Yes! I obey my orders."
After hearing his subordinates' words, Qi Wenyuan felt relieved and supported Yao'er and the other person to leave this dangerous place to avoid being bumped into by others.
"Hey, hey, don't go! Miss, are you willing to sell this jade?"
"Yeah yeah!"
Qu Jingyao and her uncle escorted them out of the shop and directly into the carriage.
At this time, the shop owner was still looking annoyed, thinking about how to deal with the lady.
Qi Yuyao shouted with joy after getting on the carriage, hugged Qu Jingyao and gave her a big kiss.
Qi Wenyuan on the opposite side was really embarrassed to watch, but he was also extremely excited at this moment. He didn't expect that Yao'er was so lucky.
"My uncle, I'm leaving these jade stones to you. You can sell them or carve them into ornaments to give to your family members."
After Qu Jingyao finished speaking, Qi Wenyuan's heartbeat quickened a bit. Does this girl know that this is priceless? Why does she not take it seriously?
Qi Yuyao blinked and asked if she knew the value of these jades? Was she just going to let her fourth brother handle them so casually?
"Aunt, have you forgotten what kind of shop I run? These jades are not very rare things to me."
Qu Jingyao explained with a smile, and then said that the piece of mutton-fat white jade was suitable for carving a jade Guanyin and giving it to the ancestor.
Qi Wenyuan thought about it and nodded.
Soon the carriage returned to Haoshan Palace.
As soon as they stepped into the mansion, the housekeeper came up to them and said that the prince, the second master, the eldest and second young masters had all been invited to the palace and had not returned yet.
"Go to the palace. What big thing happened?" Qi Wenyuan frowned and asked where his third brother was.
"The third young master just returned to the courtyard."
Qi Wenyuan asked the two to go back first, and he went to his third brother to see what had happened.
"Uncle, please go and do your work first." Qu Jingyao bowed obediently and walked towards the inner courtyard with her aunt.
Qi Yuyao was wondering about what was happening in the palace as she walked, feeling a little worried. Qu Jingyao assured her that nothing would happen, and told her maid to send her aunt back to rest while she went to visit her grandmother.
"Well, Yao'er, you go."
After that, the two of them separated from the courtyard, and Qu Jingyao walked towards Qingxi Garden.
"Don't worry, Princess. The young lady went out with the Fifth Young Lady and the Fourth Young Master. The butler said that the Fourth Young Master has guards with him, so nothing will happen."
The nanny beside her took the teacup from the princess's hand and comforted her softly.
Qu Jingyao outside the door knocked on the door with a smile.
"Grandma, Yao'er is back."
"Hurry, let the maid in." Princess Luo Xi heard her granddaughter's voice and immediately ordered the maid to open the door.
Qu Jingyao was welcomed into the house and walked through the bead curtain outside to the inner room. Her grandmother was leaning on the bed and waving at her with a smile on her face.
"Yao'er is back, come and sit down."
"Grandma looks much better today. I think she'll be able to get out of bed and walk around soon."
Qu Jingyao noticed that her grandmother was indeed in much better spirits, and she felt relieved.
The nanny beside her said happily: "It is thanks to the young lady that Her Royal Highness recovered so quickly, otherwise... look at this old slave's mouth..."
Princess Luo Xi held Qu Jingyao's hand and smiled slightly.
At this time, Qu Jingyao asked her grandmother if she knew about her grandfather and others entering the palace.
"Yes, I know. It's retribution. The people in the palace arranged by your grandfather said that the national treasury was stolen, and there was also a case of blood mixing in the palace, so all the ministers were summoned to the palace today."
The tone of her grandmother's voice made Qu Jingyao almost laugh out loud, as if God had opened his eyes.
She told her grandmother not to worry.
"Hmph, if he continues to cause trouble, I will hand over the thing he longs for to Prince Xiang, making his position uneasy. I will then have an excuse to take your grandfather with you to live in Yuanshao Kingdom."
Qu Jingyao didn't expect her grandmother to have this plan. She was very happy in her heart, but if she really left her second grandmother's family to face it, it would be very difficult. This was not the best option.
She persuaded her grandmother that the matter needed to be considered carefully, and that people's hearts were unpredictable and no one knew whether King Xiang would be a different person in the future.
"Yao'er is right. I will discuss this matter with your grandfather."
After that, the grandfather and grandson began to chat about family matters.
Qu Jingyao was worried about her grandmother and the other two, so she simply sent the maids and nannies away, and took out the spiritual spring water and detoxification pills that she had prepared earlier. These pills were made with her own blood at her request.
Having these will make me feel more at ease after she leaves.
"Child, your grandparents should have protected you, but right now your grandfather is being suppressed and monitored everywhere, so it's not appropriate to announce your identity to the public. I'm sorry you've been wronged."
"Grandma Yao'er, how have I ever felt wronged? No matter how others see me, my family all dotes on me right now. That's enough for me, Yao'er."
As soon as he finished speaking, Princess Luo Xi's secret guard suddenly appeared, knelt in the hall outside, and replied in a hoarse voice: "Your Highness, I greet you. News has come from the palace that the emperor has ordered the prince to go to war. The reason is that the treasury is empty, and the neighboring country wants to borrow troops to attack... Yuan Shaoguo."
Princess Luo Xi was enraged when the secret guard finished speaking. She slammed her palm on the bed and said, "Nonsense! How can you trade this military force... He's really confused!"
Qu Jingyao didn't expect that the Emperor of Yanchu had such a strange way of thinking. Since the treasury was empty, he would lend troops to other countries to earn money!
He is truly unprecedented and unparalleled, the only one in history.
Qu Jingyao couldn't help but want to praise: "You're quite good, little one! You've got a pretty good handle on the business world, but being the emperor isn't really suitable for you..."
"Grandma, don't be angry, don't be angry, but your granddaughter has a plan. I don't know if it will work!"
Princess Luo Xi waved to the secret guard. After the figure disappeared, she asked her with tender eyes if she had any idea of how to break the deadlock.
"Grandmother, if Grandfather disobeys the Emperor, then the Emperor will have reason to punish the Haoshan Palace. But if he really does, you must be considering my mother and the people. The people are innocent in a war between two countries, and I'm sure you won't be able to bear it."
Princess Luo Xi looked at her granddaughter who understood her heart with loving eyes, and nodded in appreciation.
Qu Jingyao leaned close to her grandmother's ear and expressed her thoughts.
My grandfather had no choice but to agree to it. As for the battlefield, the commander-in-chief had the final say. However, if the army was not used to the local climate and something unexpected happened, the commander-in-chief could not control it.
Qu Jingyao said this while winking playfully at her grandmother.
