"Of course! His Majesty also wrote to me about it. I've already rented a courtyard for you. If you don't like it, you can live there."
The governor smiled considerately.
It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed favored. The Emperor even remembered this little thought. I guess His Majesty has never cared so much about his own son.
Sheng Mingyu raised her eyebrows, really surprised. She looked at Gu Yunni and was also surprised.
It seems that the emperor really wants to apologize, otherwise he wouldn't have given so many instructions.
"Then I wonder what else His Majesty said to you in the letter? Are there any other instructions? Why not tell me all at once, so that I won't be caught off guard."
"His Majesty said that you left the capital in a hurry this time and didn't bring many guards with you. The guards are already on their way and will arrive in a few days. He also sent you many maids and eunuchs to save you and the Crown Princess from having a hard time here."
The governor spoke incessantly, and the more he spoke, the more surprised Sheng Mingyu became.
When did the emperor become such a chatterbox? Even if he wanted to care about me, he didn't have to show it so obviously.
"His Majesty also said that if you need anything later, you can write to him directly and he will handle it promptly. He also said that the Imperial Concubine and the Eighth Prince miss you very much and hope that you can return soon."
When the governor said this, he was also very surprised.
He had always known that Sheng Mingyu was favored, and there were many rumors even in Kyoto.
But he wasn't the one who dominated all the other princes. Why were the Imperial Concubine and the Eighth Prince so concerned about him? It was truly puzzling.
"Alright! No need to say any more. Tomorrow the Crown Prince will personally write a letter to Your Majesty."
Sheng Mingyu was frightened and quickly stopped him. With so many officials around, if the news really got out, how would he be in trouble?
He thought that His Majesty really wanted to apologize, but it seemed that he was trying to force him to do so.
"I will take you to a resting place right now. I have found a few maids and servants for you to use. You can use them first and wait for the people sent by His Majesty to arrive."
"good."
Everyone stopped talking nonsense. Sheng Mingyu's carriage was in the front, and several officials followed on foot.
A large group of people gathered at the city gate, and each person had fruits and vegetables in their baskets, just to welcome Sheng Mingyu.
"The Prince of the God of War has come to our place! What a great honor!"
"Yes, I heard that His Royal Highness came here to deal with the flood. He must be more reliable than the other adults."
There was a lot of discussion outside, and everyone who wanted to send food to Sheng Mingyu was stopped by Mo Qing.
He didn't know whether there were any assassins in here, so it was better to stay away from them.
"You are so famous that many people in Jiangnan know you. It seems that I am not worthy of you or you are at a disadvantage. No one knows me."
There was a hint of pride in Gu Yunni's tone.
But Sheng Mingyu just thought she was angry and kept trying to coax her.
"That's because they have no vision and don't recognize you."
"Don't worry! Why would I argue with you about this? Aren't we one? If they praise you, it's the same as praising me."
The two looked at each other and smiled, very sweetly.
He didn't stay at the mansion for long. He greeted all the officials and left quickly.
Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni took a nice hot bath and then went back to their rooms to rest.
Although they had a very relaxing time along the way, the place they stayed in was not as good as this place.
When they woke up again, the sky was already dark and a crescent moon hung in the sky.
"Yun Ni, are you awake? Do you want to go out for a walk? I heard that they don't close the market at night and it's quite lively."
"Okay! Wait for me to change my clothes, then we'll leave now."
Sheng Mingyu was standing at the door in a black robe. When Gu Yunni pushed the door open, she saw that the moonlight stretched Sheng Mingyu's figure very long.
Her hair was shining, and when she turned around she looked like she was bathed in moonlight, which made Gu Yunni stunned.
"Yun Ni? What's wrong with you? Why haven't you spoken?"
Sheng Mingyu called out many times, but Gu Yunni still didn't answer. He ran to her nervously.
He was fine before going to bed, why did he freeze now?
Gu Yunni quickly came back to her senses, and a blush crept onto her face.
The more I look at Sheng Mingyu, the more handsome he becomes. How could I be so lucky?
"It's okay, it's okay. I was just distracted. Let's go out now, shall we? I'm starving. It's a good time to buy something to eat."
The two came to the busiest street, which was surrounded by lanterns and filled with people.
"The customs in Jiangnan are a bit more open. Although they don't allow unmarried men and women to date without permission, they are still allowed to meet after an engagement."
Sheng Mingyu took Gu Yunni's hand and introduced them slowly.
The two gradually blended into the crowd, and people around them looked at them sideways, thinking that the handsome man and beautiful woman were such a perfect match.
"Really? That's definitely better than the capital. Look, they say the capital is the most prosperous, but at night, no one dares to walk around freely."
There was envy in Gu Yunni's tone, and Sheng Mingyu noticed it keenly. He touched her head with eyes full of doting.
"Yes! That concerns the safety of His Majesty, so of course we must guard it strictly. If you like Jiangnan, we can come here often in the future."
"good."
Before coming out, Sheng Mingyu did a lot of homework just to make Gu Yunni have more fun.
"How about going to the West Lake ahead? I heard there's a lantern festival there with prizes. Want to go over and try your luck?"
"good!"
Sure enough, Gu Yunni followed Sheng Mingyu happily.
Suddenly, an accident happened, the crowd squeezed and the two were pushed here and there.
Sheng Mingyu anxiously held Gu Yunni in his arms, but someone pushed him from behind, and their lips touched.
Gu Yunni's pupils dilated, she couldn't believe it!
This is my first kiss, is it gone just like that?
Sheng Mingyu was also stunned. He had no experience...
Time seemed to stand still.
The two did not separate until the commotion gradually subsided.
"I……"
"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to..."
Both of them blushed and said the same thing, looking at each other even more shyly.
"Yun Ni, I..." Sheng Mingyu was nervous and didn't know what to say.
"Mingyu..." Gu Yunni hesitated. Was this the time to express her feelings? But she had no experience.
The two of them were in such an awkward situation, and fortunately Sheng Mingyu was the first to speak up and interrupt the atmosphere.
Otherwise, I don’t know how long it will last.
"Why don't we go back home early? It seems a little unsafe here. I don't know if another riot will happen. There are too many people."
"good."
The two walked in silence all the way to the mansion.
Sheng Mingyu sent Gu Yunni back to the yard and stood at the door for a long time.
"It's getting late, you should go back and rest early. There are still many things to deal with tomorrow. We just came to the south of the Yangtze River, we can't sit idle." It was so embarrassing that Gu Yunni couldn't bear it and had to speak first.
I don't know what Sheng Mingyu means, but please say something!
