Fortunately, Marquis Changping was a smart man. He understood what he meant and waved his hand.
"You can go ahead. You can't come here without my order."
As soon as the words fell, the maids and eunuchs left the hall without looking back.
In a short moment, Du Changming and Marquis Changping were the only ones left in the hall, and it seemed as if even the sound of a pin drop could be heard clearly.
"Your Highness, you are here in person at the Marquis of Changping's Mansion. Is there something urgent?"
Marquis Changping looked Du Changming up and down out of the corner of his eye.
He is worthy of being the Crown Prince of the current dynasty. The kingly aura he exudes makes people want to surrender just by sitting here.
"I came here just to ask about Gu Yunni. Did you tell me before that she was a demon girl?"
The Marquis of Changping was bewildered. Hadn't he already told him everything about Gu Yunni? Why was he still asking?
"How many years has Gu Yunni lived in the Marquis of Changping's mansion? Has anything unusual happened during these years?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Marquis Changping shook his head.
"Over the years, there was nothing wrong with Gu Yunni. But that day, after she woke up, she was completely different."
Could it be that on that day, Gu Yunni met an immortal and thus acquired immortal arts?
If that's true.
Du Changming changed his mind and thought, if he could make Gu Yunni his own, wouldn’t it be of great help to his future?
Seeing Du Changming sitting alone without saying a word, the Marquis of Changping next to him was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to sit or stand.
Kou Mingxue was sitting in the yard, feeling bored, eating grapes and admiring the flowers, when she suddenly heard hurried footsteps. She turned around and found it was her personal maid.
"Miss, there's something good. I wonder if you'd be willing to listen to it!"
Kou Mingxue was confused and without looking back, she twisted off a grape and put it in her mouth.
"What's up?"
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come to the Marquis of Changping's residence."
When Kou Mingxue heard this, she was shocked that the crown prince of the current dynasty had come to the Marquis of Changping's Mansion.
If I could be favored by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, wouldn't the position of Crown Princess be mine?
When Kou Mingxue thought of this, she was so happy that she quickly stood up and walked towards the hall.
Halfway through the journey, Kou Mingxue felt that it would be too rash to go forward like this.
Kou Mingxue went to the kitchen, brought two plates of pastries, and then went to the hall with the maid.
"Greetings to father and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Kou Mingxue said sweetly and bowed respectfully to both of them.
"I heard from the butler that Daddy and His Highness were discussing something. They've been talking for so long, they might be a little hungry, so I made some pastries. I hope Your Highness and Daddy would enjoy some."
In fact, this pastry was just casually picked up by Kou Mingxue from the kitchen.
Of course, even if someone asked, no one would dare to deny that it was her who did it.
Du Changming looked up at Kou Mingxue and said with a smile, "The eldest daughter of the Marquis of Changping is truly unparalleled in the world. She is as beautiful as a flower and can handle both the living room and the kitchen. I will admire her very much."
When Kou Mingxue heard this, she was very happy. Although she was happy in her heart, she did not show it on the surface.
"Your Highness, thank you for your kind words." She pretended to be shy.
How could Marquis Changping not know the intention of Kou Mingxue's actions? If he could win the favor of the prince... if they continued to do so, the two of them would definitely create some sparks.
"What is the name of this plate of cakes? I think there is something called peach blossom on it."
Oops! I didn't ask for your name in such a hurry.
"This plate of cakes is called Peach Blossoms, Shining in Bloom."
"Oh? The name is quite good, but I don't know how it tastes. I'll try it first."
Then, Kou Mingxue's heart was pounding, and she stared at Du Changming from time to time.
Pick up a piece of dessert and take a bite. It melts in your mouth and tastes excellent, no worse than what the imperial chef in the palace makes.
“It tastes good and the craftsmanship is excellent.”
Seeing that it was still getting dark outside, Du Changming stood up from his chair and said, "I will come to see the Marquis of Changping in a few days to discuss this matter in detail. I am sorry to bother you today. I will go back first."
Kou Mingxue didn't know what the two of them were talking about.
But when I heard Du Changming say this, I always felt that what they were talking about must be very important.
There was no doubt in his mind, so he waited until Du Changming left, walked up to Marquis Changping, and took his arm.
"Dad, could you please tell me in detail what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came here to discuss today?"
"We're just talking about that devilish daughter, Gu Yunni. Are you feeling unwell in any other way?"
"What? Could it be that Gu Yunni and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
Kou Mingxue suddenly became excited and stared at the Marquis of Changping in amazement.
Gu Yunni is truly a vixen. Not only did she win over Sheng Mingyu's heart, but now even the crown prince is her lover.
"No, Mingxue, just listen to what daddy has to say to you first."
Kou Mingxue couldn't listen at all and just stayed aside.
Seeing Kou Mingxue's angry look, Marquis Changping sighed, "Do you have any feelings for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
Although the two of them didn't spend a very long time together, she is still his daughter, isn't she?
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be the Emperor in the future. If he wants to become the Crown Princess... I think anyone would want to be by his side." Then, Kou Mingxue looked up at the Marquis of Changping and said slowly, "Father, if I become the Crown Princess, wouldn't it also help the Marquis of Changping's Mansion? The position of the Marquis of Changping in the court will be further consolidated, and we can even become a royal relative."
Although they do have connections with the royal family, the connection is not very deep. If Kou Mingxue and the prince were to marry...
"Don't worry, Daddy will help you."
But from today's conversation, I always feel that Du Changming seems to have feelings for Gu Yunni.
Gu Yunni must not be allowed to stay and must be eliminated as soon as possible.
Master Linkong limped to the outside of the Marquis of Changping's Mansion and knocked on the door.
The housekeeper opened the door and saw that the master who was so flamboyant before had become like a beggar, which made him suspicious.
The housekeeper hurriedly helped Master Linkong in. Kou Mingxue and Changping Hou were shocked when they saw the appearance of this master.
"Master, how did you suddenly become so destitute? A few days ago..."
"My Lord, I originally wanted to help you get rid of Gu Yunni, but this witch is too powerful, so I have to leave this place and return to the sect."
What? If Master Linkong left, what would happen if something strange happened to them in Changping Marquis Mansion?
