Chapter 284: Banquet for the Princes



Gu Yunni looked at him as if he were a fool.

Hasn't my performance been obvious enough during this period?

"Of course! Maybe we started out collaborating for profit, but then we gradually fell in love."

In the past, the mystical arts were the most important to her, but since she met that master, she also felt that everyone should have something to be obsessed with in their life.

The Imperial Master sighed repeatedly, his heart filled with regret. "So, what will happen next? Will we have to give up the mystical arts? You must know that once you're caught in that vortex in Kyoto, it's impossible to escape easily."

What a waste of such a good talent. He believed that Gu Yunni's strength should not be like this.

If you work hard, you will probably reach even higher levels.

What the Imperial Master said was wrong, and it was completely different from what Gu Yunni thought.

Who says you can't have both?

"Don't worry! I will still participate in these things. I'm not the kind of person who gives up myself for a man."

"So what are your plans? Do you need my help? I'm bored in Kyoto anyway, so feel free to come to me if you need anything."

The Imperial Master put away his regretful look. As long as Gu Yunni was still willing to struggle, he felt that she was not stupid.

Gu Yunni put down what she was doing and sat on a chair to discuss with the Imperial Master for a long time.

Generally speaking, there will be many places that will need national masters in the future.

These things were just a piece of cake for him, and since he had already chosen to stand in Sheng Mingyu's camp, he certainly couldn't do nothing.

Even if you want to avoid suspicion, you should still start with the small things.

The Imperial Master and Gu Yunni were chatting excitedly when Sheng Mingyu walked in from outside.

Seeing Gu Yunni’s beautiful smile, he rolled his eyes at the Imperial Master.

"What are you discussing? Can you talk to me? If you need my help, I'll be happy to help you."

Gu Yunni and the Imperial Master looked at Sheng Mingyu together, a gentle smile on her lips.

"Nothing. How are you doing? Have you dealt with all the troubles? When can we go back to Kyoto? I can't wait."

"Almost! Wait until Kyoto sends someone over. This prince has heard the news. Many of the other princes have stopped around Anyuan County. They probably want to wait for this prince to join them."

Sheng Mingyu didn't come here to chat today, but had serious business to do.

He has been trying to talk more about his own affairs with Gu Yunni, so that she can gradually get used to it and not want to leave.

Speaking of this, Gu Yunni was very interested.

We still need to understand each person's personality in order to deal with it appropriately.

"Oh? What do they mean? They're so obvious and they still don't come to visit."

"They are all checking and balancing each other. No one has taken the first step. At least on the surface, they still have a grudge against me. Besides, I am the Crown Prince, and they are the princes. Of course, they will not take the initiative to visit."

The Imperial Master nodded in agreement. "Yes, that's just the way these princes are. They all put themselves in such high positions, almost as if they look down on us ministers. But if it weren't for us, how could they have sat there so peacefully for so long?"

Gu Yunni was suddenly amused. She knew that people of status all had this kind of temper, but she just felt speechless.

"I've already come to you for help, yet you're still putting yourself on such a high pedestal. Have you decided who to meet first?"

If they really had the ability to seize the throne, they would not give Sheng Mingyu so much face.

"Let's talk to the Second Prince again and see if they can gather everyone together. This prince has no intention of breaking up with them. We have to take everyone into consideration."

Gu Yunni thought about it and had an idea. "If all else fails, you can hold a banquet in Anyuan County and invite everyone. As long as they are willing to get along with you, they won't refuse."

This method is not impossible, Sheng Mingyu's eyes lit up.

The next day, when the princes received the news from Sheng Mingyu, their expressions varied, and some were somewhat unhappy.

"He really thinks he's such a big shot. If it weren't for Father praising him, who among us would stay here?"

"Yes, it seems that Second Brother has the same idea as this prince. Then, Second Brother, have you thought about how to get along with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

The third prince and the second prince gathered together and discussed bad things.

Although they all said bad things about Sheng Mingyu, they had different thoughts.

"How can we get along? Anyway, this prince dare not offend my father."

If we were to say who the second prince dislikes the most, it would be the brother next to him.

He didn't take the prince seriously, and Sheng Mingyu also expressed her surrender to him. Only his younger brother was a smiling tiger, and people could never figure out his true intentions.

"That's right. Then write a letter back and we'll go together."

The third prince also thought so. Fortunately, his mother had a good family background, otherwise the two brothers who were under pressure from above would be enough to make him suffer.

Three days later...

"This is too hasty. I originally wanted to wait, but since you've already sent out the invitations, let's do it as soon as possible."

Gu Yunni has been very busy these days because Sheng Mingyu wants to host a banquet for several princes and needs her help to arrange many things.

"This prince has already sent people to prepare for the event today. If you don't want to show up, no one will find fault with you. They will all give this prince face."

Sheng Mingyu still considered her.

"It's alright. What do you think of the food I prepared for the banquet? I've been chatting with the Imperial Master for a few hours, but I'm still not very familiar with them. Why don't you tell me more about them?"

Sheng Mingyu just glanced at it and said, "It's just a random arrangement. They're not picky. Besides, the main purpose today is this prince, so no one will pay attention to the food. The Seventh Prince didn't invite us, as he's still traveling. He likes treasures, not power."

Sheng Mingyu did not delay. Seeing that people were coming soon, he hurried to explain to Gu Yunni.

"You must be more careful with the Second Prince. He is a sinister and cunning man, but he appears to be gentle and polite, and no one can find fault with him. Even Your Majesty should not be too harsh on him, as his reputation is still quite good."

Sheng Mingyu described the personalities of these people one by one, and the one he least wanted to deal with was the Second Prince.

Maybe you will fall into his trap after just a few words, but he is also the one who has the most ability to fight.

"There's also the third prince, who's a bit foolish, but his mother's family is powerful, and he also wants to seize the throne. The reason he hasn't been eliminated over the years is mainly because he has his family to rely on. But as a prince, no matter how foolish he is, he can't be that stupid."

As Sheng Mingyu spoke, Gu Yunni nodded and tried hard to take notes, wishing she could take out a small notebook to write them down.

It is true that the dragon has nine sons, each one is different and has very different personalities.

"Don't worry about the fourth, fifth, and sixth princes. They have no attachment to the throne. Even if they really wanted to seize it, they couldn't overtake the second and third princes. So they can only behave themselves and serve as background figures today."

While he was analyzing it for Gu Yunni, he also sorted it out for himself.

Seeing that she was taking it seriously, Sheng Mingyu continued, "Today's topic will be centered around this prince, and you might be involved as well, but with this prince here, they won't embarrass you."
