"I have called all my men here. Do we have enough materials to build a residence?" Qian Fanji observed the celestial phenomena yesterday and brought everyone here early in the morning.
If it rains heavily, so many people will suffer if they don’t have a stable place to live.
"Almost. Uncle Gu will deliver the materials shortly. We'll start construction today and expect to be finished in four days."
Qian Fanji nodded.
"I'm afraid these people are not enough for four days. I will go back to the mansion later to borrow some people. The construction will be more solid if young and strong people are in charge." Zhan Yi transferred all the guards in the mansion here a few days ago.
The west side of the city is full of old men and scholars, none of whom are very strong and can only help carry things and support things. The construction still requires strong people to do it.
Ye Qianning nodded slightly when he heard this. Now is the time to use people. The sooner the work is completed, the sooner he can feel at ease.
There was a noise coming from not far away. When they looked over, they saw Gao Qi dressed in brocade clothes.
"Isn't that the son of the Prime Minister? What is he doing here?" Zhan Yi didn't have a good impression of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Qianfan Ji frowned.
Ye Qianning was also a little confused.
The people from Takasaki cleared the way, and then truckloads of supplies were transported in.
"This kid from the Gao family... No, I have to go and take a look." Zhan Yi pulled his arm out of Ye Qianning's hand. The people in the Prime Minister's Mansion had to be on guard.
Ye Qianning quickly grabbed Zhan Yi and said, "Maybe he is here to help."
help?
Zhan Yi narrowed his eyes, somewhat unconvinced.
As truckloads of items were pulled in, Takaki began to arrange for everyone to unload the trucks. It seemed as if he was really helping.
"It's not that I'm narrow-minded, it's just that Prime Minister Gao is too eloquent. Stealing, cheating, and backstabbing are just commonplace for Prime Minister Gao." The first person Zhan Yi hated in the court was Prime Minister Gao.
They are flatterers and fence-sitters who always stroke the emperor's beard and always give him bad advice.
He despises it the most!
"Let's see if he really has bad intentions. It's not too late to deal with him later." Ye Qianning had inquired about the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After the prime minister's wife was divorced, she was sent back to the countryside. A few years later, Prime Minister Gao remarried, and she gave birth to a girl who is now five years old.
Gao Yunqin, the eldest daughter of the Gao family, rarely returns to the Prime Minister's Mansion since her mother was divorced, and her relationship with Gao Qi is also weak.
The Yunnan Marquis' Mansion also did not allow her to interfere in the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and in the past two years, they had rarely interacted except during the holidays.
Gao Yunyue, the second daughter of the Gao family, has been living a worse and worse life since she married Gu Yuan. Even though she is known as the daughter of the prime minister, she cannot control the Gu family.
At first, the fourth branch of the Gu family wanted to get in touch with Prime Minister Gao, but they didn't expect that Prime Minister Gao wanted to covet the Gu family's money.
In the two years after Gao Yunyue got married, the Gu family spent a lot of money to curry favor with the Prime Minister's Mansion. In the end, when the imperial merchants unified the country, they didn't get any benefits at all, and they almost gave away all their family wealth.
Since then, the fourth branch of the Gu family treated Gao Yunyue worse and worse, and Gao Yunyue returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion to cry.
Prime Minister Gao ignored her and finally got annoyed and ordered people to forbid her to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Prime Minister Gao is very cold towards his daughters, but he is different towards Gao Qi. He dotes on Gao Qi very much.
No matter what mistakes Gao Qi made in the capital, Prime Minister Gao would take care of them.
Gao Qi is the only son of Prime Minister Gao. He had some thoughts about marrying the Prime Minister's wife, but Prime Minister Gao was always biased towards him and threatened to kick him out of the house if he caused any trouble again.
From then on, the Prime Minister dared not remarry and was very kind to Takasaki, even to the point of currying favor with him.
Logically speaking, since his father dotes on him so much, Gao Qi should have a good relationship with Prime Minister Gao.
No one would repeatedly bring discredit to his own family, but Gao Qi didn't care.
He seemed to hate the Prime Minister's Mansion very much.
"Aning."
Nan Xiang walked over from the back of the convoy and saw Ye Qianning at a glance.
Ye Qianning was also happy when he saw Nan Xiang's face.
Zhan Yi, standing nearby, could see clearly. He patted her on the shoulder and said, "Go ahead. Grandpa is keeping an eye on this place."
Ye Qianning smiled and nodded, then walked towards Nan Xiang.
Zhan Yi stood behind with a kind face, raising his hand to touch his beard. This was the attitude a girl should have.
He felt heartbroken seeing her worrying all day long.
He still hopes that his granddaughter will be more innocent and lively.
The smile on Zhan Yi's lips suddenly froze, and his eyes changed from loving to disgust, because he saw that the prime minister's son ran faster than the princess and was in front of his granddaughter in the blink of an eye.
The smile on his face looked wrong no matter how you looked at it.
Qianfanji's gentle face turned cold. Could it be that Gao Qi still had the thoughts of his childhood?
"You bastard." Zhan Yi scolded angrily.
Qian Fanji was unhappy but did not interfere too much. He let the child handle his own affairs and turned around to tell everyone to unload the car.
Gao Qi didn't expect to meet Ye Qianning in the west of the city. The moment he heard the shout and saw Ye Qianning, he flew to stand in front of Nan Xiang, his handsome face smiling like a flower: "Ye Qianning, you are here too."
"Mr. Gao has also entered the business world recently?" Ye Qianning asked.
The fleet belongs to the Gu family. Uncle Gu has no right to order Gao Qi around, no matter who he is.
"No, I was just watching the boss's convoy being blocked on the street. When I learned that they were going to build a residence for Mr. Chengxi, I lent a hand." Takaki's handsome face flushed, not knowing whether it was because of excitement or heat.
"Thank you, Mr. Gao."
It was indeed easier for the soldiers from the Prime Minister's Mansion to clear the way than for their people.
"What's there to thank me for? After all, I graduated from Loushan Academy, so I should do my part." Gao Qi smiled brightly.
Nan Xiang jumped out from behind him: "Aning, don't listen to his nonsense. He doesn't have such kind intentions."
"I have no good intentions, but the princess has good intentions?" Gao Qi glanced at her coldly.
"Whoever is hiding something is the only one who knows. I have sent someone back to the palace to call for help. You don't have to bother Mr. Gao with the transportation of the convoy." Nan Xiang stood beside Ye Qianning and raised her chin arrogantly towards Gao Qi.
"With so many gentlemen in the west of the city, can the palace's guards alone handle it? I know the princess has a prejudice against me, but at this critical moment, please don't be jealous of the gentleman's recovery."
"You say it so openly. Don't think that I don't know your little thoughts." Nan Xiang seemed to see through him.
Gao Qi pretended to be confused: "Princess, please tell me what I am thinking?"
"You just want to..." Nan Xiang stopped talking abruptly.
"Why didn't the princess say anything?"
Nan Xiang secretly glanced at Ye Qianning, then turned and glared at Gao Qi.
Takaki raised his eyebrows, a smile playing at the corner of his mouth.
Nan Xiang met his smile, feeling even more annoyed. "This princess is too lazy to argue with you. This princess has her eyes fixed on your Prime Minister's Mansion. If anything goes wrong, it's all your Prime Minister's Mansion's fault."
"There are so many people in the capital, many harboring evil intentions. The princess is putting her own weight on the Prime Minister's Mansion. Isn't that a bit too much?" Gao Qi didn't wait for her to finish her words, and he was a little disappointed. (End of this chapter)
