His Majesty said that this is a family dinner for them.
"I?"
Gu Yunni's face was full of disbelief. She pointed at herself, her head dazed.
She wasn't ready yet, it was too sudden.
"Yes, just change into the clothes you prepared earlier. His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine don't care about etiquette, so you don't have to be too nervous. Just do as you please and treat it as a family meal."
Sheng Mingyu said it easily, but Gu Yunni couldn't suppress the nervousness in her heart.
"Then I'll go prepare it now."
The maids went over in an orderly manner to dress her up, and Gu Yunni followed them to the backyard.
"Your Majesty has granted this prince a set of headgear. Go and give it to the prince's wife."
Sheng Mingyu suddenly remembered the emperor's instructions and hurriedly delivered the things to Gu Yunni.
The Imperial Master and Shangguan An looked at each other in an awkward atmosphere.
"Don't you think Sheng Mingyu is going too far? He tricked me all the way to Kyoto, but he still won't do anything for me. I'm so angry! If this continues, I'll have to find someone else!"
Shangguan An seemed to have found a confidant and kept complaining to the national teacher.
On the way back to Kyoto from Jiangnan, the two of them were still on good terms.
"Your Highness is right. Now is not the best time. Even if you ask me to do it, I can't do it. It's better to wait a little longer. Everything is predestined."
"no."
The Imperial Master wanted to speak in a gentle manner, but Shangguan An denied his words and his face immediately darkened.
"I'd better think of a solution myself. If all else fails, I'll go find those officials outside. They must want to show their faces in front of His Majesty. If I tell them my identity, I don't believe no one will be tempted!"
As he was about to leave, the Imperial Master was startled and quickly stopped him.
He took a deep breath and managed to refrain from cursing, a stiff smile forming at the corner of his mouth.
"You must think carefully. You know the prince's temper. If you anger him, you might not be able to stay in Kyoto in the future. He will definitely keep his promise. Please wait."
He persuaded him in a gentle voice, and Shangguan An thought for a long time and finally calmed down.
The Imperial Master also felt relieved.
"I just feel uncomfortable, but you are right. Sheng Mingyu has such a great influence in Beijing. If I provoke him, I am afraid my life will be difficult. Let's wait a little longer. But this is the last time. If he deceives me again, I will not tolerate it!"
The Imperial Master just rolled his eyes and agreed. It didn't matter what unpleasant words he said, as long as he didn't do anything impulsive.
At this time, Sheng Mingyu was standing in the yard, waiting for Gu Yunni to take a bath and change clothes.
He waited until he was putting on makeup before he went in.
Looking at Gu Yunni wearing luxurious clothes, his eyes widened.
"How is it? This is the dress I chose a long time ago. I think it's pretty good. Do you think there is anything wrong with it? If not, I'll change it."
Gu Yunni smiled and looked at herself in the mirror, feeling very satisfied.
Fortunately, she was prepared, otherwise she would have been caught off guard.
"It looks great, I'll take this one!"
Sheng Mingyu nodded blankly, and Gu Yunni turned around, leaving him completely stunned.
"Is it really okay? Is it too extravagant? I was thinking that if it wasn't extravagant, I would lose my status as the Crown Prince's Consort. But if it was too extravagant, wouldn't the Imperial Concubine be displeased? Please help me think about it again."
Gu Yunni frowned, feeling conflicted.
Sheng Mingyu shook his head and quickly denied it, "This set is good, don't change it. His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine have been waiting in the palace for a long time, so we should hurry up."
"That's right. We can't keep His Majesty waiting too long. Let's go quickly."
Looking at Gu Yunni's impetuous look, Sheng Mingyu shook his head and laughed.
However, he felt a great sense of satisfaction in his heart. Gu Yunni loved him, which was why she cared so much about him.
"Qing'er, remember to bring all the gifts I prepared for the Imperial Concubine. Also, take some extra things out of the storehouse for His Majesty and the Eighth Prince. Don't be stingy."
Qing'er was so sore all over after being pointed at by Gu Yunni that she only relaxed after the two men left in a carriage.
The closer they got to the palace, the more nervous Gu Yunni became. In the end, she couldn't even hold the tea steadily and almost spilled it on herself.
Sheng Mingyu hurriedly held her in his arms, looking helpless.
"Aren't you very brave? You've met His Majesty more than once, so why are you still so nervous? You've met the Imperial Concubine and Eighth Brother before, and they're not the kind of people who would cause you trouble."
"Of course I know that no one will bother me, but this feeling is strange. Doesn't this mean that the relationship has changed?"
Gu Yunni frowned, her tone full of confusion.
She didn't want to be nervous, but she couldn't suppress her heart.
"Well, I'll always be by your side and will never let you suffer any injustice."
Sheng Mingyu shook her head helplessly and hugged Gu Yunni to comfort her for a long time before she calmed down.
She immediately pushed Sheng Mingyu away, looking at him with disdain, "Why don't you know how to be more careful? You almost wrinkled my clothes. If I enter the palace wearing wrinkled clothes, it would be too rude."
"You! Alas!"
Sheng Mingyu wanted to say something but stopped himself. At this time, the carriage arrived in front of the palace gate. The two of them got off together. There was a sedan chair waiting below.
"His Royal Highness, may you be well. Your Royal Highness, may you be well. Your Royal Highness, may you be well. The Imperial Concubine has sent this old servant to come and fetch you both. Please get into the sedan chair."
"Thank you very much."
Gu Yunni walked up nervously, and the old woman next to her smiled very happily, looking very satisfied.
No wonder the Imperial Concubine likes this Crown Prince's Consort, she is indeed very well-behaved.
"Your Highness, the Imperial Concubine has prepared many of your favorite dishes in the palace. She has also inquired about the Imperial Concubine's tastes and prepared several dishes. If there is anything you two don't like, please be sure to let her know. The Imperial Concubine hopes that you two will be satisfied."
The old woman kept saying nice things beside him.
Gu Yunni also gradually calmed down. After hearing what she said, it seemed that the imperial concubine did have a good temper.
"The last time I saw the Crown Prince's Consort from afar, she was truly breathtakingly beautiful. Don't be nervous when you see the Imperial Concubine. She is always gentle, especially to the Crown Prince and you. She won't get angry no matter what you say."
"Yeah?"
When the old woman heard Gu Yunni's long sigh, she burst into laughter and started chatting with her.
"Of course. Before you came, the Imperial Concubine had the Imperial Kitchen prepare many desserts and snacks. They even prepared the palace where you will live. Everything is done according to the princess's specifications. You will not be disappointed."
The old woman spoke with great enthusiasm, and Gu Yunni was very surprised.
Sheng Mingyu just watched with a smile on his face, but didn't say anything.
"Isn't this against the rules? Just find a random palace. It would be too much trouble to prepare it according to the princess's specifications."
She was a little embarrassed, and the old woman laughed even more happily when she heard what she said.
