After being married off by my younger sister, I became the most beloved person in the palace

So after leaving the government office, Gu Yanqing went directly to Prince Pingyang's Palace.

The servant led the person into the Qionghua Courtyard.

"Father." Gu Zhiyin knelt down to salute, and then ordered the maid to serve tea.

Gu Yanqing sat on the chair, holding the teacup and drinking slowly without saying a word.

Gu Zhiyin thought about it and winked at Mother Hu and the others.

Mother Hu understood and retreated with the maid in the room. She did not close the door, but stood far away.

Gu Zhiyin: "Father, if you have anything to say, just speak up."

"Prince Pingyang volunteered to solve Pengzhou's food problem at the morning court today. It would not be appropriate for him to go alone without someone he trusts. After all, we are relatives, and I am happy to share the prince's worries." Gu Yanqing said.

Gu Zhiyin was not surprised by Gu Yanqing's request.

His purpose of coming to see her at this time was obvious.

But she showed a hint of surprise on her face: "Dad, shouldn't you go directly to discuss this matter with your father? Your daughter lives in the back house and doesn't understand the affairs of the court."

Gu Yanqing said: "You don't need to understand, just go and tell the prince. Everyone in the Fu family loves you so much. It's just a small request, the prince will definitely not refuse it."

Gu Zhiyin looked embarrassed.

Gu Yanqing suddenly put on a serious face and said in a low voice: "Yinyin, after all, your last name is Gu. You should understand the principle of prosperity and decline. If your father can get a promotion, you will have more confidence in your husband's family, right?"

"Yes." Gu Zhiyin lowered his head and said hesitantly.

Gu Yanqing looked at his daughter's well-behaved appearance and showed satisfaction on his face.

The next moment, Gu Zhiyin said, "But Dad, if this matter is handled well, it will be a credit. If it is not handled well, will you bear the blame or not?"

"You also said that our two families are in-laws. If there is a problem, others can find a way to distance themselves from it, but you, Dad, will definitely be involved."

Gu Yanqing choked: "This..."

Since Prince Pingyang dared to take on this matter, he must be confident about it, otherwise everyone would step back at this time and no one would be willing to step forward.

He only thought about getting some benefits from it and never considered that Prince Pingyang would fail to accomplish this task.

Gu Zhiyin blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Gu Yanqing innocently and obediently.

She knew what kind of character her father had. She didn't know whether it would benefit her if he really climbed to a high position. But one thing was certain: if one day she really offended a powerful person and was wronged, her father would never stand up for her.

Gu Jinse offended Concubine De in the palace. Jiang was distressed that her daughter had a miscarriage and was being wronged and neglected in the Shen family. She wanted to bring her back to the Gu family to be taken care of, but her father refused without hesitation.

If this is the case even though she has her biological mother protecting her, how could an orphan like her get protection when her biological mother died young?

Besides, her father has always been a man of opportunistic attitude and a fence-sitter. Gu Zhiyin doesn't think it's a good thing for the Fu family to be overly close to her father.

As long as her father behaves himself, and has the relationship with the Prince of Pingyang as his in-law, no one will easily touch him, and promotion is not impossible.

Gu Yanqing had no idea what his eldest daughter was thinking, he was only calculating the gains and losses quickly in his mind.

Finally, he said seriously: "As a woman, it is indeed not appropriate for you to ask about the political affairs of the court. In this case, then father will not embarrass you. Today, just pretend that I have never been here, and there is no need to mention it to the prince."

"Got it, Dad."

"Well, I'm going back." Gu Yanqing said, and got up and left.

Forget it, if Prince Pingyang can really make a contribution this time, his relative will naturally receive benefits in the future.

The risk is relatively high this time, so he'd better not participate.

Fu Zheng knew that Gu Yanqing had come, but Gu Zhiyin did not go to find him, so he did not know what it was about.

The next day, after the morning court session, he entered the palace.

In the imperial study, Emperor Jianhe was reviewing memorials with a slightly furrowed brow, revealing a hint of displeasure.

God knows he looks at these second-hand memorials every day, but dares not speak out.

That’s right, second-hand coins.

Because the memorials placed on his desk had all been read by Empress Dowager Qin, who felt that they were suitable to be presented to him for his review.

"I am the emperor, but I have always been a puppet in the hands of the queen mother. What is the point of being the emperor?"

After reviewing a memorial for the appointment of officials, Emperor Jianhe threw the memorial to the ground with a bang.

Zhao Ren's heart trembled, and he picked it up carefully: "Your Majesty, calm down."

"This wicked woman actually reached out to the army. Does she want to rebel?"

Zhao Ren dusted off the memorial and placed it on the table: "Your Majesty is in his prime, please forgive me for being so bold, but the Empress Dowager is already old."

The implication is that he won't live for many more years.

The emperor can outlast her.

Emperor Jianhe was breathing heavily. He understood the truth, but when he thought about how he had lived under the control of the empress dowager for so many years, the violence in his heart became more intense.

The Queen Mother Qin was like a thorn stuck in his heart that he had to pull out.

"I tolerated her, but she pushed the issue too far and dared to extend her hand into the military camp. I will never allow it."

By doing this, Queen Mother Qin had already crossed his bottom line.

Zhao Ren stood with his head down, silent.

Zhao Ren had already mastered the art of knowing when to speak and when to shut up after serving the emperor for so many years.

At this time, the eunuch guarding the gate walked in quietly and reported: "Your Majesty, Prince Pingyang wants to see you."

Emperor Jianhe immediately suppressed his anger, and a hint of joy appeared on his brows: "Announce."

Now he likes Prince Pingyang more and more.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant pays homage. Long live the emperor." Fu Zheng entered the imperial study and knelt down to salute.

Emperor Jianhe raised his hand and said with a smile, "My dear minister, please don't be polite."

Fu Zheng thanked him and stood up.

"My dear, why are you here at this time?"

"I have come to ask the emperor for help. Purchasing grain in Jiangnan is a complicated task, and I would like to bring someone to help." Fu Zheng said straight to the point.

Emperor Jianhe took it very seriously and immediately approved it with a wave of his hand.

"Ai Qing, do you have someone to choose?"

Fu Zheng said: "I have worked with Mr. Yang, the doctor of the Ministry of Works, before. Mr. Yang is very capable and is familiar with me. It is easier to get things done with us and we can get twice the result with half the effort."

"Yes, I will issue an order right now to allow Yang Aiqing to go with you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Fu Zheng bowed.

"My dear minister, you have helped me solve my problems. I should thank you." Emperor Jianhe said with a smile, "Not long after the grain store under your Fu family transported the grain to the granary, the officials and noble families also sent grain one after another, and some donated silver to help us raise grain for the south. It was all thanks to you who took the lead. Be careful when you go south this time."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I earn your salary, serve you loyally, and worry about you. This is all my duty. I don't deserve your thanks." Fu Zheng said with a look of trepidation.

Emperor Jianhe should not be too satisfied.
