"I can prove this. The Crown Prince's Consort is indeed very powerful. Even His Majesty trusts her. Why don't you, Second Prince, cultivate a good relationship with the Crown Prince's Consort in the future?"
The second prince still refused to believe it and kept following behind.
"How can you prove it for such a small matter? I still need to see with my own eyes whether you are really that powerful or not."
Gu Yunni sighed and didn't want to interfere any more. After all, she had said everything she could and had already done her best.
If he doesn't believe it, then he can expect to be scolded.
Several people entered the hall together. The personal eunuch was a little surprised to see the second prince.
Didn't they say that only the Crown Prince's Consort was allowed into the palace? Why did the Second Prince come in with them?
"Second brother? Why are you here? What do you want from me? If you have something to say, please talk to me later. I have something important to say to the Crown Princess right now. I don't have time.
I care about you."
His Majesty did the same, not giving the Second Prince any face at all and sending him away with just a few words.
The palace has its own rules. He didn't let the second prince in, so if he came himself, he should wait.
"Father..."
The second prince just stood there in a daze, his eyes full of disbelief.
It's fine if the eunuchs outside the palace treat me like this, but why does my father treat me like this? He's really too partial!
"I have just returned to the capital and wanted to come and pay my respects to you. I would also like to talk about the situation outside. If you don't have time, I can sit by and wait. I won't disturb you, father."
The second prince tried hard to suppress his temper and did not lose it, instead he discussed things in a friendly tone.
As long as he stayed here, he could interrupt Gu Yunni's inexplicable words.
"No! Don't you even listen to me? I told you not to stay here, hurry up and get out of here, or you will never be allowed to enter the palace again!"
In any case, the emperor didn't like these sons.
In the past, he had a favorite prince, and now he has a favorite Sheng Mingyu. Of course, he would not give face to his sons.
After just a few words, he cursed the person out.
The second prince was so angry, but he didn't dare to talk back, so he could only leave.
It would be fine to just say a few words to the guards at the door, but if I tell my father, I might not even be able to keep my position as a prince.
"Your Majesty..." Hearing the emperor scolding his son, Gu Yunni and the imperial preceptor stood there in a daze.
The two looked at each other in bewilderment. What had happened to His Majesty today? Even if he had disliked these sons before, he wouldn't have done this.
"Yun Ni, don't be nervous. I called you in today mainly to ask about your marriage with the prince. The prince has decided on you. What do you think? If you don't mind, let's settle it first."
If the emperor didn't like Gu Yunni before, his opinion of her has changed drastically now.
He knew what Gu Yunni had done in Anyuan County, and such a person could indeed stay by Sheng Mingyu's side.
"Your Majesty, do you mean to grant us a marriage? I am willing."
Gu Yunni put what just happened behind her.
"Of course, you two are deeply in love. If you need my permission to marry, I can help you with just one word. However, I still need to ask what your family thinks. Do you want me to summon the Marquis of Changping to an audience?"
The emperor smiled amiably, but his last sentence was still intended to test Gu Yunni's attitude.
If he were to match Sheng Mingyu, he still hoped to find the most outstanding lady from a wealthy family.
"I think the Marquis of Changping is the most suitable. You grew up in the Marquis's mansion, so it's only right for you to marry out of the mansion this time. Your status will also be elevated, and it will also look good in the Prince's mansion. What do you think?"
Although the emperor's tone was good, his attitude was one that could not be refused. He did not give Gu Yunni any consideration.
In his eyes, this is the best solution.
As long as Gu Yunni knows what's good for her, she will agree.
The imperial teacher widened his eyes in surprise. If he had known it was such a trivial matter, he would not have even intervened and would have let the emperor find whoever he wanted.
The emperor ignored the imperial teacher's gaze and his patience gradually wore out.
"Why are you so slow to speak? Is there something I said wrong?"
Gu Yunni is really ignorant. Doesn’t she consider her attitude?
"Your Majesty should understand what the relationship is between me and the Marquis' Mansion. If this matter were to fall upon Your Majesty, would Your Majesty agree?"
Gu Yunni smiled awkwardly. She was just an ordinary person, how could she dare to be angry with the emperor? Even with Sheng Mingyu's support, she had to be careful.
"A wise person will choose the method that suits him best. I know you have suffered a lot of grievances in the Marquis' Mansion, but only by marrying out of there can you receive the highest treatment."
The emperor also planned to explain the reason to Gu Yunni.
The most important thing in a person's life is himself. If he had not sat firmly on the throne, he would not have considered Sheng Mingyu.
"But if I marry from there, they will only gain more benefits by being associated with the Prince's Mansion. Why don't I leave these benefits to my mother? Although she didn't raise me, she gave me life and has never lacked my love and care since I returned."
Gu Yunni's tone gradually became irritable. She was unhappy when the Marquis' Mansion was mentioned.
She didn't believe that the emperor didn't know all this and was just deliberately poking at her sore spots.
"People need to be smart!" The emperor released his aura and pressed Gu Yunni down tightly.
Regardless of whether she agreed or not, he decided to do it. As the emperor, no one could refute him.
"I want to marry His Majesty, and we have feelings for each other, but if you want to use these things in exchange, then I'd better wait. Since Your Majesty wants to do it, then go ahead and do it yourself."
After saying this, Gu Yunni wanted to leave. At worst, she would die here today. Anyway, she would never have anything to do with the Marquis' Mansion again.
The emperor was so angry that he threw everything in his hands away, and the imperial teacher stood up directly.
Both of them are stubborn. If they were to come into conflict, who should he side with?
If he spoke on Gu Yunni's side, his head would fall off, but if he didn't speak on Gu Yunni's side, Sheng Mingyu would probably not let him go.
"Your Majesty!" At the most critical moment, Sheng Mingyu walked in from outside the door.
Gu Yunni felt very aggrieved and looked over with resentment.
Sheng Mingyu touched Gu Yunni's head and felt very distressed.
"Be good, it's okay."
I wonder if Gu Yunni will be angry with me? Just for the sake of marriage, he actually forced her like this.
"Your Majesty, shouldn't you have told me before deciding on the marriage? You summoned me to the palace, but then sent me away. Is it because you're feeling guilty?"
Originally, Sheng Mingyu should have saluted, but seeing Gu Yunni being wronged, he couldn't help but lose his temper.
Your Majesty bullies others because you don't take him seriously.
"Mingyu, what do you mean by that? Am I not on your side? I just hope your wedding can be more splendid and you can have a reliable supporter! What can ordinary people do to help you?"
The emperor's tone was stiff. He really didn't understand what Sheng Mingyu was thinking.
If you want to sit in this high position, you should abandon love!
