The emperor's personal eunuchs were no exception. They would run away after receiving the imperial edict.
In the past, when His Majesty and the Crown Prince competed with each other, His Majesty had never won against the Crown Prince.
What's more, today the Imperial Concubine and the Eighth Prince are here to lend a helping hand to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so His Majesty will definitely lose.
Gu Yunni was having dinner at home when an imperial decree came out of nowhere. She received it with a confused look on her face.
The servants and maids in the house were extremely happy.
Everyone was busy preparing to display the imperial edict.
"The Crown Prince's Consort has finally reaped the rewards of her hard work and has received His Majesty's decree. His Majesty is a man of his word, and he will certainly allow the Crown Prince's Consort and His Highness the Crown Prince to marry as promised."
Gu Yunni's personal maid was overjoyed and tried her best to tell her the good news.
God knows how sorry she feels for Gu Yunni as she serves her all day long.
It is obvious that the Crown Prince's Consort is always by his side whenever his Royal Highness is in danger, but the Crown Prince's Consort still cannot get a proper identity and has to be pointed at and criticized by those noble ladies all day long, which is really infuriating.
I received the imperial edict today, and I must publicize it well to avenge all the sufferings that the Crown Princess has endured in the past.
"Why did His Majesty suddenly issue such an imperial decree? Didn't he hold on tight before and even said he wanted to find Mingyu a woman from a better family? Could there be some other ulterior motive?"
Gu Yunni had roughly guessed what was going on, but she still found it hard to believe.
Even if she was a noble concubine, she should have considered Sheng Mingyu. In their eyes, she was not the best candidate for the Crown Prince's Consort.
"Why is the Crown Prince's wife so flustered? Of course, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked for you. Just take this imperial edict and do what you need to do. No one will ask you to do it."
"Okay."
The maid brought Gu Yunni a cup of tea and said some comforting words. Gu Yunni didn't want to think about it anymore.
Since we are here, we should make the best of it. I don’t know how much Sheng Mingyu paid for this imperial edict.
She couldn't question him for no reason and make Sheng Mingyu sad.
At this time, the palace was still a warm scene, only the emperor was excluded and had a bitter look on his face.
"Next time you come to the palace, be sure to bring your fiancée with you. She's very clever, and I love her dearly. We can talk more often, and she'll be a great way to entertain me."
"yes."
All the food was cleared away, and the imperial concubine held Sheng Mingyu's hand tightly.
No matter what I say, I just don't want him to leave.
"You've been on the battlefield so often, don't you have a lot of scars on your body? Stay in Kyoto from now on, and don't dwell on fighting and killing. The generals out there are there to protect the world, and there's no need for you, kid."
As the imperial concubine said this, she turned around and glared at the emperor.
If it weren't for the emperor, how could her son suffer so much?
Sheng Mingyu looked a little embarrassed. He looked at the emperor, not knowing whether to agree or refuse.
"Mother, please don't force it. His Highness is a brave and skilled warrior. What good will it do on the battlefield? He will definitely protect himself. Moreover, the world is peaceful now, and there will be no war. Just be at ease, Mother."
The eighth prince came to the rescue in time, and the imperial concubine stopped arguing about it.
No matter how favored she is in the harem, she is not allowed to interfere in politics.
Moreover, Sheng Mingyu was going to climb further and further away, and if she tried to stop him, she was afraid that the child would feel resentful.
"Okay, then let's not talk about those serious matters and talk about other things. You have been married many times in the past, but each time ended in regret and never left behind an heir. This time you marry Yun Ni, you must treat her well. The royal family is waiting for you to have children."
These words were a bit too explicit, not to mention Sheng Mingyu, even the emperor was stunned on the spot.
Although they knew everything clearly in their minds, they couldn't say it so obviously. If outsiders heard it, wouldn't they discuss their royal private affairs?
"What are you standing there for? Did I say something wrong? The Crown Prince is also a member of the royal family. Isn't that why he is helping the royal family to have more children?"
The imperial concubine snorted and argued with all her might.
Several people reacted and quickly agreed.
"Yes, yes, yes. Everything you say is right. Mingyu, remember the Imperial Concubine's words and give birth to more children for the royal family as soon as possible. I will give you a grand wedding."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Your Majesty."
The emperor was the first to express his opinion, and the eighth prince did not dare to have any more opinions.
He is a filial man. As long as his father and mother are happy, he is willing to say anything nonsense.
From time to time, the sound of laughter could be heard from the imperial concubine's palace, and it reached Du Changming's ears in time.
"Bang!"
He smashed the vase he had always loved. All the palace people were silent and knelt on the ground, not daring to make a sound.
"What does mother mean by this? Do you have to smash my face? I fell out of favor at the time and went to plead with you, but you just glared at me and left me alone. Yet today, you're actively trying to make peace with Sheng Mingyu, her son's enemy!"
He was panting with anger, his chest heaving up and down, and his face slightly red.
Seeing the eunuch beside him trembling, he leaned forward, fearing that Du Changming would get excited.
"Don't be angry, Your Highness. Perhaps the Imperial Concubine is trying to help you regain your favor. The problem actually happened to Your Highness, so naturally we have to ask him to solve it."
The eunuch racked his brains to come up with these words of comfort.
They still called Du Changming the Prince in private, otherwise he would go crazy.
"Bah! Do you really think I'm a fool? If I had begged for mercy, the matter would have been resolved long ago! How can they be so happy? It's obvious that they don't take me seriously!"
Du Changming spat fiercely, his mood even worse than before.
He couldn't understand why his biological parents were so kind to Sheng Mingyu, but abandoned him.
He even thought he was picked up from outside.
"Your Highness..."
The eunuch buried his head in the ground and dared not say anything more.
Du Changming narrowed his eyes, a plan instantly formed in his mind, and a sly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Cold sweat broke out on the eunuch's forehead. Even though the eunuch couldn't see Du Changming's eyes, he knew that he had bad intentions.
Ever since he was stripped of his crown prince status, his actions have become increasingly insane.
"Say, how about I go into the palace now and interrupt them? Didn't you say you wanted to plead for me? I think this is the perfect time!"
"No! Your Highness, think again. Now is His Majesty's time of joy. If you rush in rashly, you will probably be punished again!"
Sure enough, when the eunuch heard Du Changming's words, his face turned pale.
The reason why this prince didn't die early is entirely because Your Majesty is soft-hearted and protects him!
"Why not? I am the legitimate Crown Prince. Even if I have been stripped of my title, I am still a legitimate prince. How can I tolerate Sheng Mingyu getting ahead of me? I insist on going today. What can you do to me?"
Du Changming frowned, and the eunuch closed his eyes with despair.
