Upon hearing this, Sheng Mingyu nodded heavily.
"The prince has come to the emperor specially today, hoping to grant you a marriage with him." Sheng Mingyu said as if nothing had happened.
When Gu Yunni heard this, her brows furrowed in thought. "What did you say? Did His Majesty agree?"
Gu Yunni never thought that Du Changming would be so interested in her.
Seeing Gu Yunni so frightened, Sheng Mingyu couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, then shook his head, "I didn't agree, nor did I refuse."
Sheng Mingyu turned around and looked at the woman in front of him quietly, feeling a little uneasy. "If His Majesty asked you to make a choice, who would you choose?"
"This requires careful consideration." Gu Yunni deliberately lengthened her voice, stood to one side, and spoke mischievously, which was quite different from usual.
"Consider? How do you want to consider? Could it be that this prince cannot satisfy you, and you really want to be the Crown Princess?"
Everything was apparently fine just now, but suddenly, the Crown Prince in front of him changed his expression, as if he was jealous.
Gu Yunni couldn't help but shook her head, then laughed out loud, "Your Highness, you're being too hasty, aren't you? I said I'd consider it, but I didn't say I wouldn't choose you. Besides, you've already come to my house to propose marriage, so I can't be the Crown Princess anymore. If you don't give me the Crown Princess, that would be a bit too much, wouldn't it?"
Sheng Mingyu felt happy when he heard this.
He couldn't help but nodded, looked at the woman in front of him, and said softly: "You cunning little fox, how can I make you obedient?"
Gu Yunni didn't say much.
At this time, Qing'er had already returned to the Marquis of Changping's Mansion.
The backyard of the Marquis's Mansion was already in chaos, with everyone gathered there, seemingly begging for mercy.
"Buddha, please bless the young lady to wake up as soon as possible."
In the courtyard, all the maids knelt on the ground and kowtowed towards the southeast.
Qing'er couldn't help but shake her head and sigh.
This is a huge joke.
The wife of the Marquis of Changping watched Qing'er walk in from outside. She was furious and could not help but roar, "Where have you been, you damned girl? Don't you know that everyone is praying for the young lady now? Kneel down quickly!"
Qing'er nodded, not daring to say anything more. She knelt obediently on the ground, looking up at the sky carefully.
I know in my heart that Kou Mingxue is now possessed by a demon and cursed. How can she recover by just praying?
The person who tied the bell must untie it. It is estimated that the person who caused the backlash should come and untie it himself.
Of course, Qing'er would not say these words, otherwise her identity would be exposed.
At this time, Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni had also returned to the mansion.
Lying on the bed, thinking about Sheng Mingyu's words today, Gu Yunni felt warm in her heart.
If it continues like this, it wouldn't be a bad idea.
But Du Changming intervened and this matter is not simple.
That night, she tossed and turned and had a nightmare in which she was defeated by Du Changming.
At that moment, she was extremely angry and a little disgusted, and wanted to elope with Sheng Mingyu.
In horror, Gu Yunni woke up and sat on the bed gasping for breath.
Eloping? That's too much of a joke.
Soon, the rooster crowed three times and it was dawn.
After a simple tidying up, Gu Yunni got up and prepared to relax in the courtyard to relieve her heavy mood, while also thinking about how to deal with Du Changming.
Unexpectedly, the housekeeper came to report at this time.
"The Crown Princess."
Even though she hadn't married yet, the servants in the mansion all called her the Crown Prince's Consort.
At first, Gu Yunni was indeed a little uncomfortable, but as time went by, she got used to it.
Gu Yunni stood here, frowning slightly, looking at the housekeeper, "Housekeeper, what's wrong?"
"In reply to the Crown Princess, Lord Li's daughter, Li Zhiqing, wants to visit you. Would you like to meet her?"
Thinking of Li Zhiqing, Gu Yunni raised the corner of her mouth and said, "Please invite them to the hall."
The housekeeper hurried out, and Gu Yunni changed into a light long gown and then came to the reception room.
Ever since their last hasty farewell, Li Zhiqing has been longing to meet Gu Yunni.
"What's wrong? Are you in such a hurry to find me? Do you want to go out and play with me?"
I just heard from the housekeeper that Li Zhiqing specially rented a flower boat by the lake and came here today. I'm afraid he wants to invite me to go boating on the lake.
Li Zhiqing was very surprised. He didn't expect Gu Yunni to have guessed it. "Then are you willing to come with me?"
Gu Yunni nodded without hesitation and agreed, "Of course."
Seeing Gu Yunni about to go out with her, Sheng Mingyu raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but whispered, "Send a few more people to follow behind to ensure the safety of the Crown Prince's Consort."
Hearing this, the guard nodded, then disappeared in a flash.
Soon, the two arrived at the lotus pond.
Looking at many people releasing sky lanterns beside the lotus pond, Gu Yunni felt happy. She hadn't seen such a scene for a long time.
"Let's get on board."
The boat that Li Zhiqing chartered was very beautiful, with different flowers on both sides and a large peony in the middle.
When we got on the boat, someone had already prepared snacks and tea.
The two sat on the boat and looked at the beautiful scenery by the lake.
"Yun Ni, I like being with you. It's so relaxing."
At this point, Li Zhiqing raised an eyebrow. "But I'm still a little puzzled. Why would someone as beautiful and powerful as you choose to be with the Crown Prince? Everyone says the Crown Prince is unlucky with wives, and that any girl who discusses marriage with him will either die or be injured. Now, when the ministers in the court and the public hear that His Highness is the Crown Prince, they all give him a thumbs-up and praise him. But when they say they want to give their daughters away, they all run away."
Hearing this, Gu Yunni couldn't help but laugh out loud, "That's because they are conceited and can't control themselves. Look at me, I'm fine, right? There's nothing wrong with me."
"Pfft, pfft, pfft!" Li Zhiqing quickly spat upon hearing this. "What nonsense are you talking about? You can't say such unlucky words."
The two were talking here when they suddenly noticed that there was thick fog around them.
Suddenly, fog swirled and entered the ship.
"What's going on? There's such a thick fog?"
The center of the fog was in the middle of the lake, and it was moving outward. They had gradually entered the center of the fog.
"Oh no, this fog is evil." Gu Yunni frowned, feeling the chill, and her heart moved. She quickly stood up and wanted to protect Li Zhiqing.
But the young lady was so panicked that she picked up the wine glass and held it in her hand, ready to throw it out to attack at any time.
Instead, he protected Gu Yunni behind him.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. Nothing will happen. Once we get through this section, everything will be fine."
Gu Yunni couldn't help but shook her head. She had to say, this was a good sister.
"You can't handle these things." After saying this, Gu Yunni waved her hand gently and pulled the person behind her.
