Gu Yunni was a little surprised. She didn't expect Sheng Mingyu to be here. However, she was surprised for only a moment, then smiled charmingly, "How could that be? We are an engaged couple now. Naturally, I have to think about you all the time. How could I take advantage of you?"
This made Sheng Mingyu's mouth curl up, "Okay, you can talk."
After a moment, Sheng Mingyu shook his head and looked at Gu Yunni. "But even if you were used, so what? Would this prince dare to have any objections? No matter what, you are my future wife, so whatever happens to you is fine."
Seeing him joking, Gu Yunni smiled and said, "Okay, why did you suddenly think of my courtyard? Don't you have anything to deal with today? It's rare to see His Royal Highness so idle."
Gu Yunni didn't want to continue sinking into this atmosphere, so she quickly changed the subject.
It was too ambiguous, and she was afraid that if time went on, the two of them would continue to engage in intimate behavior.
Even now, Gu Yunni is still not used to being too close to Sheng Mingyu.
"No." Sheng Mingyu shook his head, walked to the chair next to him, sat down, picked up a cup of tea, and blew it to his lips. "I just wanted to come and see you. I don't know what you are busy with. Why haven't you come to see me? Although I am usually busy with many things, I will be happy to accompany you. You can come to me if you have anything."
When Sheng Mingyu said this, there was expectation in her eyes. Gu Yunni really separated the two of them too clearly, and she was also too independent.
Gu Yunni is really different from the previous wives. Even if the previous wives were cold to them, they couldn't help but stick to her.
"Isn't this because I'm afraid of delaying your important matter? Since you've said that, I'll come to see you when I have time."
Gu Yunni didn't care at all. After she finished speaking, she just played with the flowers in her hand.
She was very relaxed in front of Sheng Mingyu and didn't feel awkward even if they didn't chat.
But Sheng Mingyu didn’t think so. He still hoped to talk more with Gu Yunni and get closer to her.
At the same time, the rumors that had just been suppressed began to spread again.
"Oh my god! Is Gu Yunni really born to be a phoenix? Then what does the Crown Prince mean by being engaged to Gu Yunni? Are they really planning to seize the throne?"
Sheng Mingyu didn't take Du Changming's words to heart and made it clear to the emperor.
But Du Changming refused to give up and kept spreading rumors outside.
This matter is of great importance. Although ordinary people dare not discuss it too much, they cannot resist their gossiping hearts, and the rumors are getting more and more intense.
"Who knows? But who wouldn't want to be the emperor? Your Highness is so favored by His Majesty, so naturally he would have more thoughts."
"We ordinary people all want to be the emperor, let alone His Royal Highness? It's obvious that it's not difficult for the prince to become the emperor."
The people outside were all sighing, but they were divided into two camps. Some people supported Sheng Mingyu, while others supported Du Changming.
"Actually, I think it's perfectly fine for His Royal Highness to sit in that position. He's been fighting outside for years and has made tremendous contributions to Your Majesty. Shouldn't he also claim the throne?"
"Yes, and His Royal Highness is the Queen's nephew. This is also related to the royal family. I support the Prince."
"That's right, alright, alright, these things are not something we ordinary people can discuss. Go home and cook, or you'll get caught and beheaded."
…
The people discussed it for a long time, but finally put the matter behind them. It was a royal matter and had nothing to do with them.
Besides, they are just ordinary people. Even if you really want to control them, they may not listen.
Having lived as common people in Kyoto for so many years, they knew one thing very well: as long as they were related to the royal family, it would not be an easy task.
"Hmph! I wonder how he'll escape this time. Even if he tries to flatter me, my father won't let him off easily."
Du Changming was in high spirits when he received the news. His goal was to force Sheng Mingyu into a desperate situation.
No matter what, Gu Yunni can only be his and absolutely not belong to any other man.
Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that he is not in the right position to be the crown prince?
"Your Highness the Crown Prince...why don't you just forget it? If His Majesty knew about this, he would definitely be angry. Why should you let His Majesty scold you for that kind of person?" The eunuch looked embarrassed and wanted to persuade Du Changming.
Over the years, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has often competed with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but every time it comes to Sheng Mingyu, His Majesty always sides with the other side.
Why doesn't the prince learn his lesson and keeps confronting Sheng Mingyu?
"Why? Isn't the Emperor biased? Then I will make him fair and just for once! I am his biological son, and now these rumors have threatened my position as Crown Prince. The Emperor will never give the crown prince position to someone else based on rumors!"
Du Changming's eyes were vicious. If the eunuch had not said these words, he could think of a way to solve these troubles.
Now that he had said that, he couldn't help but think of the past, and he really couldn't swallow this.
When I was a child, I was always scolded when I was with Sheng Mingyu, and this has never changed even after I grew up.
If the palace had not still called him the crown prince, he would even have doubted whether he was his father's biological son?
Who would be so rude to their own son yet be so kind and tolerant to others?
"Yes, since Your Highness wants to do it, then this old servant will go and see what the situation is. I will make sure it is foolproof."
The eunuch felt helpless, but since he was the prince's subordinate, he could only obey orders.
Although it would offend Sheng Mingyu, it would be fine as long as it didn't cost me my life.
I just don’t know what kind of punishment His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will suffer this time, and it will be these people who will suffer.
Sheng Mingyu also received the news in time, but he looked down on these little tricks. "Oh? What's there to be afraid of? You don't have to think too much. If you want to spread it, then continue to spread it. Don't worry, His Majesty is not a fool. He knows who spread this rumor and what the person who spread the rumor means. He won't blame this prince."
Only an incompetent man would think of this trick.
If he has the ability, he will naturally compete with me.
Sheng Mingyu continued to look at the documents on the table. He was very busy every day. If he didn't have to accompany Gu Yunni, he couldn't squeeze out any time at all. How could he have the energy to bother with these villains?
"Yes." The secret guards under Sheng Mingyu didn't dare to say anything more.
Since the master is not worried, what should they, the subordinates, worry about?
Anyway, our prince has always been the most capable, so solving these troubles is no problem for him.
