"I'm just asking casually. Besides, I'm also a prince. What's the harm in knowing these things? Don't you have many things that need my help? The more I know, the more I can make a more accurate judgment."
Shangguan An looked embarrassed and retorted.
Didn't he think he had done anything wrong? If Sheng Mingyu always insisted on being right, he could just go before His Majesty and admit his identity, which would still give Sheng Mingyu a leg up.
"Need not!"
Sheng Mingyu shook his head firmly, unable to conceal the disgust in his eyes.
"I've been managing the palace for several years. If anything comes up, I can handle it myself. You don't need to get involved. It's best for you to behave yourself. Otherwise, if His Majesty sees you, your life will be over sooner or later."
"I am His Majesty's biological son. How could he kill his own son? Don't joke with me. You shouldn't do this if you want to intimidate me."
Shangguan An was very disdainful. Sheng Mingyu sneered beside him, saying that arrogant people will never get any benefits.
"Okay! Then from today on, you can do whatever you want in Kyoto. As long as you don't use my title to venture out, I won't interfere. I want to see who will die first or succeed first."
Shangguan An became flustered upon hearing Sheng Mingyu's words, and immediately looked at Sheng Mingyu in a flattering manner.
"Why are you getting so angry with me for no reason? I just don't understand some rules. Just pretend that what happened today never happened. I still have a lot of things to rely on you in Kyoto in the future, so you can't be angry with me."
Sheng Mingyu snorted lightly and refused to pay attention.
Shangguan An smiled awkwardly and sat next to him as if he were invisible.
He didn't dare to make Sheng Mingyu angry again, as she could kick him out with just a few words.
As soon as the carriage arrived at the Prince's Mansion, Shangguan An immediately rolled off the carriage and stood far away from Sheng Mingyu.
"Why are you back so early? I thought you had to stay overnight in the palace. Did you enjoy your conversation today?"
Gu Yunni happened to be strolling outside and was startled by Shangguan An's sudden action. When she saw Sheng Mingyu, she smiled again.
"Well, we had a very pleasant chat today. Thank you for the gift you chose for me. The Imperial Concubine likes it very much. His Majesty even issued an imperial decree granting the marriage. You should have seen that the Imperial Concubine asked you to go and spend time with her when you have time."
As soon as he saw Gu Yunni, all the unhappiness he had just felt disappeared.
Sheng Mingyu's tone was gentle and his eyes were full of doting. He and Gu Yunni had been together for so long and were finally going to be together.
"received……"
When the imperial edict was mentioned, Gu Yunni's face turned red.
No matter how close their relationship is, a girl would still feel embarrassed about getting married.
"How did you get the imperial edict from His Majesty? Didn't His Majesty say he didn't agree? I was thinking of continuing my efforts."
"With the Imperial Concubine's indirect approach and the Eighth Prince's help, things will naturally go more smoothly."
Sheng Mingyu did not hide anything
It took the combined efforts of the three of them, mother and son, to win over Gu Yunni.
Mainly, Sheng Mingyu also wanted Gu Yunni to have a good impression of the imperial concubine, so that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would be harmonious in the future.
"Then I really have to thank the Imperial Concubine. I'll go pick out a few more gifts in a few days and bring them all into the palace. I guess the palace doesn't often see these interesting things from outside."
Gu Yunni listened to Sheng Mingyu's words carefully, her heart full of gratitude, and plans arose in her mind.
Regardless of whether it is a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship or out of genuine gratitude, she should prepare a gift.
"I won't talk to you anymore. I have to go back and prepare a gift list. It's getting late, and I need to rest. You're exhausted today, so go back to bed early."
Gu Yunni had a lot of things in her mind, and she listed them all out. She said hello to Sheng Mingyu and ran back to her own small courtyard.
Sheng Mingyu shook his head helplessly behind him. Gu Yunni was just like that, rushing around in doing things.
"Don't always hide aside. Weren't you very brave when you first entered the palace? You even dared to use Yun Ni's reputation. Are you afraid that I will tell Yun Ni and you will be punished again?"
As soon as Gu Yunni left, Sheng Mingyu returned to his stern expression and questioned Shangguan An in a cold tone.
Shangguan An shuddered. He was possessed by a ghost just now. Why couldn't he pass this level?
"I'm so sorry. I was wrong just now. Please forgive me this time. Don't tell Gu Yunni. You don't know how scary she is. She will definitely drag me to discuss esoteric arts non-stop, and even hit me if I say something wrong."
Shangguan An shuddered violently when Gu Yunni was mentioned.
Gu Yunni was such a tormentor that he never wanted to work with her for the rest of his life if possible.
"Hmph! Just this once. Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. If I find out again, don't blame me for being rude!" Sheng Mingyu sneered and threatened.
Shangguan An nodded hurriedly beside him, not caring whether it was embarrassing or not. As long as he didn't provoke them, everything would be fine.
"I haven't forgotten what I promised you. I will find a way to restore your status as a prince and get to the bottom of this matter. But if you insist on having any tricks up your sleeve, I will make you disappear from this world and never experience wealth and glory again."
"good."
After saying this, Sheng Mingyu turned around and left.
Shangguan An's face was full of resentment. He stood in front of the mansion gate for a long time before following him in.
He endured it! As long as he could endure it for a while, it would be fine.
When he regains his status as a prince, he will definitely settle accounts with both of them!
Two more peaceful days passed. When Gu Yunni was about to go to the store to check it out, an accident happened.
"Princess, please go to the door quickly. The Marquis of Changping is making a scene at the door and has brought his entire family with him. He insists on seeing you and won't leave until you see him."
Qing'er had become her personal maid, and was now rushing over anxiously.
"Marquis Changping? This family is really haunting us. Didn't they say they didn't want to see him?"
Gu Yunni frowned, looking annoyed.
It's obvious that she has very good luck, so why is she stuck with such a bunch of idiots?
"Can……"
Qing'er looked embarrassed. She looked at Gu Yunni, made up her mind, closed her eyes and said another word of comfort.
"Why don't you go over and take a look? They're fighting to the death, and His Royal Highness is not at home. Only Young Master Shangguan is outside now. He has no experience in handling these matters, and I'm afraid the servants will burst in soon."
"Okay, change clothes." Gu Yunni looked annoyed, but had to bite the bullet and go out.
This matter was caused by her, so she has to solve it herself.
"You, the Prince's Mansion, cannot be so unreasonable. This Marquis is looking for my own daughter. My daughter is living in your mansion without any status. Can't this Marquis take her back?"
"Yeah, don't try to silence us with some imperial decree granting marriage. Even if there is an imperial decree, she should still stay at home to get married! During this period, the man and the woman cannot meet, otherwise it is against the rules!"
As soon as Gu Yunni arrived at the door, she saw this scene.
Marquis Changping took the lead, and his wife followed closely behind.
