Besides, seeing that he had arranged a luxurious ceremonial procession, Gu Yunni frowned slightly, "This is too ostentatious. It's just a visit, there's no need to mobilize so many people, right?"
Sheng Mingyu shook his head. "It's a custom. It's not something to be ostentatious about."
"How about we keep a low profile? Put all these back and we can just take this part back."
Gu Yunni still didn't want to be too ostentatious.
"Okay, I know what you're thinking. These are just external possessions. I can't let you suffer any injustice."
Such was the custom, and seeing that it was futile to try to stop her, she could only stop trying to persuade him.
Gu's mother and Gu Chang'an were looking forward to it and waited for her to come back at the door early.
Seeing a row of carriages in the distance, as they got closer and closer, Gu Changan knew that his sister had returned.
"Mom, my little sister is here."
Knowing that Gu Yunni was coming back home today, Gu's mother got up early to prepare meals, fearing that there would be any omissions.
"I know. You've been talking about it all morning. I'm all ready."
It wasn't until the two of them got close that they immediately leaned over.
"Are you here? Just in time, let's go inside and eat first."
The two followed him into the house. Gu Yunni took a look at the food. These were all her favorites.
"Thank you, mother."
Mother Gu smiled slightly and said, "Have a seat now. Are you feeling comfortable after getting married?"
Gu Yunni nodded. She had lived in the Prince's Mansion for such a long time and had not felt any discomfort at all.
Sheng Mingyu rushed to answer, "Don't worry, I will take good care of her."
Mother Gu looked at the two of them, and she became more and more satisfied. "Since the prince has said so, then I will hand her over to you. As long as you two are fine, it's time to have a child."
She took good care of Gu Yunni and did not forget to urge her to have a baby.
As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Yunni's face turned red.
I just returned home today, why are you already urging the kids?
Sheng Mingyu couldn't help but cough. This was too fast.
He glanced at Gu Yunni and found that her face was slightly red, and some ideas came to his mind.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Mother Gu could only eat the food in her bowl in silence.
"Yun Ni, take the prince around for a while."
Gu Yunni was trying to find a way to leave, as she was a little worried that her mother would continue the previous topic.
"Okay, I'll take him out for a walk later."
It is natural to stay for a day when visiting one's parents' home. This is an eternal custom.
Sheng Mingyu had lived here with Gu Yunni before, and felt very comfortable staying here for a day.
"There are peaches in my backyard. Let's go pick two."
Sheng Mingyu has a more casual personality. She doesn't like the constraints of the palace and can easily integrate into folk affairs.
The two were about to walk towards the back mountain when they were visited by the chief eunuch beside the emperor.
"Your Majesty, wait a moment."
The eunuch ran up hurriedly.
"What's the matter? You look in a hurry."
The chief eunuch nodded and said respectfully, "The Emperor has an urgent matter and wishes to summon you to the palace."
Sheng Mingyu was a little unhappy. His normal visit turned into a meeting with the emperor.
"Did you tell me what it is? If it's nothing important, I will go to the palace tomorrow."
"I don't know either, but when I came here, the Emperor said he must take you with him."
Sheng Mingyu was a little embarrassed. Today was Gu Yunni's day to come back home, so he shouldn't have left.
Gu Yunni certainly understood, "Mingyu, there might be something urgent in the palace, you should go and take a look."
Sheng Mingyu looked a little apologetic.
Gu Yunni knew that something must have happened when the emperor urgently summoned him, otherwise the eunuch would not have come out to find him in such a panic.
The eunuch would not leave the palace easily unless it was something important.
After talking to Gu's mother, Sheng Mingyu rushed to the palace.
The emperor felt relieved when he saw Sheng Mingyu coming. "I have something to discuss with the prince. Everyone please leave."
The emperor dismissed everyone and had a detailed conversation with him.
Sheng Mingyu was a little confused. "Your Majesty, you called me here so urgently. Is there something important?"
The emperor nodded and spoke directly, "This morning, a letter arrived from our neighboring country to the west, requesting to bring back the eldest prince and replace him with the second prince. I doubt their intentions. What are your thoughts?"
Sheng Mingyu frowned upon hearing this. "The eldest prince is doing fine here, why did the neighboring country to the west suddenly change its mind?"
"I'm also curious, do you think our western neighbor is planning something else?"
Sheng Mingyu knew that things had been uneasy these past two days. Could it be that the news about the eldest prince had leaked out, and the neighboring country to the west wanted to take this opportunity to start a war?
"I'm not sure about that either. I can only take it one step at a time. But I think they might be looking for an excuse to spy on our country."
The emperor knew the wolfish ambitions of the western neighboring country, and the king was a man who loved war and often went on expeditions.
Because they lost the war before, they sent the eldest prince here as a hostage.
The emperor nodded and said, "It's best if there is no conspiracy. I asked you to come to the palace today because I want you to investigate this matter."
"Yes, I will do it right away."
He accepted the order and was about to leave, but was stopped by the emperor.
"Mingyu, you've finally gotten married. It's time to expand the royal family."
After discussing the important matters, the emperor did not forget to promote the birth of important things.
Sheng Mingyu was a little helpless when she heard this topic. "Isn't it that I'm possessed today? Why do I feel like I'm going into labor everywhere I go? Your Majesty, there's no rush for this matter. Yun Ni and I have our own plans."
When the emperor heard this, he became anxious. "Everything else is trivial, but how can I not be anxious about this?"
"I understand. If your Majesty has nothing else to do, I will withdraw first."
Sheng Mingyu perfunctorily answered the emperor's question and tried to leave this embarrassing place as quickly as possible.
"You kid...it's true that the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is!"
The emperor was speechless.
After leaving, Sheng Mingyu rushed back to Gu's mother.
When Gu Yunni was sleeping, she vaguely felt that there was someone beside her. Who was it that broke into her room in the middle of the night?
Gu Yunni pretended to be in deep sleep to see who the other person was.
Hearing the other person's footsteps slowly approaching the bed, I had a feeling that something was wrong.
Sheng Mingyu quietly walked to Gu Yunni's side and found that she was sleeping.
He gently touched her hair, bent down and kissed Gu Yunni on the forehead.
Gu Yunni smelled the scent on the other person and knew that it was Sheng Mingyu who had returned.
You should be in the palace so late, why are you back?
The palace was quite far from the courtyard, and it seemed that he was in a hurry to get back.
She slowly placed the talisman she had prepared under her pillow, let go of her guard, and slowly shrank into Sheng Mingyu's arms like a bug.
Sheng Mingyu hugged her tightly, wishing time would stop at this moment.
Looking at my sleeping lover, and recalling how both sides' parents urged me to have a baby during the day, a feeling of helplessness came over me.
The two fell asleep in each other's arms. The next day, the morning sun shone through the clouds onto the courtyard wall.
Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni were still sleeping soundly when they suddenly heard a knock on the door.
