"Really? The Crown Prince is here too. What a coincidence! Why don't we go look for him? I also want to meet with him. We still have a lot of things to deal with, and we should give an explanation to the Emperor as soon as possible, otherwise I'm afraid he will blame us."
Du Changming finally smiled and walked forward without giving Kou Mingxue a chance to continue thinking.
Although he didn't know where Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni were, he would run into them sooner or later as long as he wandered around.
Kou Mingxue was also extremely obedient, without any objection at all, and followed him over.
Their goals are similar, and Du Changming is more capable. Only by following the prince can she gain more benefits.
"Oh, so you two are here. You made it so hard for me to find you. You're just out for an outing, why are you hiding so far away? If I hadn't just heard those ladies say you two were here, I would have thought you weren't out for a walk."
Du Changming is really good at acting. He says one thing to one person and another thing to another. The moment he saw Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni, he came up to say hello, but did not say that he took the initiative to look for them. He made up an excuse.
Gu Yunni and Sheng Mingyu were originally happy, but they felt a headache when they heard this voice. How come they couldn’t hide after hiding for so long?
Kou Mingxue shyly hid aside, looking at Sheng Mingyu with a faint smile, but did not dare to step forward to say hello.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I didn't know that His Royal Highness would be visiting here. If I had known, I would have let you know in advance."
Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni's mood plummeted, but they had to say hello so that no one could find out their mistakes.
Du Changming smiled gently and politely, pretending not to notice their unhappiness.
"Your Highness, did you make an appointment with Miss Kou to come out together? You two must have known each other for a long time, right? You two are a perfect match, talented and beautiful, it's fate that you two are meant to be together. If Your Highness doesn't mind, why don't you get to know each other better?" Sheng Mingyu would be offensive when he was in a bad mood, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.
Every word he said pierced the prince's heart.
Only a fool would believe that these two people just happened to walk here. His place is so secluded that those people who come here for outings all year round may not be able to find it. How come they, who never go out all year round, were able to find it?
It must be someone specially sent by the prince to investigate.
"Haha, Prince, you have misunderstood. I just met Miss Kou by chance and walked here together. Miss Gu, please don't misunderstand. There is nothing between me and Miss Kou. We have only met a few times." When Du Changming heard Sheng Mingyu's words, he immediately distanced himself from Kou Mingxue.
His main purpose is not to be with Kou Mingxue. With her unlucky personality, anyone who meets her will be unlucky.
The most important thing for him is Gu Yunni.
When Kou Mingxue heard this, her face immediately fell. Although she and the prince were using each other and she had never thought about how long they would be together, she could not bear the fact that the prince did not treat her as a human being.
What was the meaning of him taking a step to distance himself from her? After all, she was still the daughter of a marquisate, so why was she so unwelcome?
"Your Highness, you're joking. Whether you and Miss Kou are friends or not has nothing to do with me. I'm just a child from a farming family. I was lucky enough to meet the Crown Prince. It's really not convenient for me to take advantage of Your Highness."
Not only Du Changming was keeping his distance, but Gu Yunni was also keeping her distance, not giving the prince any face at all.
After saying that, he looked up at Sheng Mingyu, wanting some praise.
For Sheng Mingyu, I am risking offending others. This man must not be ungrateful.
Sheng Mingyu also smiled out of courtesy and stepped forward to help her out. It didn't matter if he offended someone, it was okay.
"Your Highness, don't be angry. This prince's consort is just not very good at speaking. She wants to tell you that she doesn't want to ruin your relationship with Miss Kou. We also wish you and Miss Kou the best. If you two are together, you will definitely be very happy."
Sheng Mingyu smiled along. It was the first time that she took the initiative to put aside her status and position in front of the prince, and the prince was too embarrassed to get angry.
He originally wanted to leave a good impression in front of Gu Yunni. If he got angry at this time, she would probably find fault with him.
What's more, Sheng Mingyu is already like this. If he gets angry again and it gets to the ears of his father, it will be a big deal.
"It's okay. Miss Gu's words are very interesting, but the prince should still respect her. You haven't gotten married yet, and you keep calling her the prince's consort. Wouldn't that cause misunderstanding? Miss Gu also has a family." Du Changming had a forced smile on his face, but his words were very considerate.
Gu Yunni rolled her eyes. Why should he act so high and mighty in front of her?
If Du Changming was really a good person, there wouldn't have been so many stories before. Couldn't he have taken off his mask and faced people without worrying about losing his true nature?
"Don't worry, Your Highness. I can call her whatever you want. She even calls me husband sometimes. We will get married sooner or later. If Your Highness is anxious, why don't we move the wedding date forward?"
Sheng Mingyu no longer had a smile on his face, but his expression turned cold.
You really don't take yourself seriously!
He dared to speak casually about Gu Yunni in front of him.
"Why is the prince so anxious? I am only considering Miss Gu. If the prince has objections, doesn't Miss Gu support him?"
Du Changming found Sheng Mingyu's exasperated look amusing and continued to add fuel to the fire, "Miss Gu was once a daughter of a marquis' mansion. She knows what etiquette is like. She shouldn't let the prince trample on her like this. The prince should respect himself. It's already difficult for a woman to live in this world. You should be more considerate of her."
After saying this, Du Changming raised his head high and looked at Gu Yunni, wanting to see Gu Yunni's admiring eyes.
There are not many people who care about women as much as I do.
"Thank you, Your Highness." Gu Yunni was speechless and her face was not very good. This man was really too narcissistic.
"Prince, we've had enough of the outing. I'm tired. Why don't we go home early? I still have a lot of things to do and don't want to stay out for too long."
Gu Yunni didn't want to talk to such a person anymore, so she pulled Sheng Mingyu and changed the subject.
After saying this, she wanted to take Sheng Mingyu away. She was afraid that if she stayed here for one more second, she would be angry to death.
"Don't!" Kou Mingxue was a little anxious. "Your Highness, we just met. How about you accompany me for an outing? It's okay to let her go back. Isn't she very tired?"
Regardless of whether she had any rules or not, she knew that what she said was excessive, but she just wanted to say it.
After saying this, he looked at Sheng Mingyu with a pleading look.
She looks so pitiful now, Sheng Mingyu should not refuse.
Gu Yunni was shocked and her eyes widened. She was still standing here. Was Kou Mingxue going too far?
