"But I only want Yun Ni. It doesn't matter if there's no reliable Yue Family. What's more, don't you know who Changping Hou is? Even if he is a Yue Family member, what can he do for me? I can climb to a very high position on my own."
"you!"
Sheng Mingyu is a man of iron will, and the stalemate is about to break out.
The emperor's face turned pale and he pointed at Sheng Mingyu, whose hands were shaking.
Compared with Du Changming, he is now not inferior at all.
"I don't care! If you two want to get married, this is the only condition. Think about it again. I won't force you any further. Go back early."
The emperor couldn't bear to lose his temper with Sheng Mingyu, but some things could not be discussed anymore.
No matter what, I have to find the strongest support for Sheng Mingyu. Who knows when I will pass away?
Only the reliable Yue family can allow Sheng Mingyu to sit firmly in this position.
"Your Majesty, I would like to ask, was this also the case between you and the Imperial Concubine? Did you abandon her and marry the Empress just because you wanted the throne? You reserved your favor for the Imperial Concubine, leaving the Empress alone in the empty chamber."
Sheng Mingyu refused to admit defeat and poked the emperor's wound.
Gu Yunni's eyes widened in shock.
It would not be good for them to make the emperor angry.
Before the emperor could react, the imperial preceptor and Gu Yunni panicked.
"Your Majesty, calm down. His Royal Highness didn't mean that. He's just a little angry right now. Wait until I get back to persuade him."
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, please don't be angry. You are not in good health right now. Getting angry will only make your condition worse. You should rest well. His Highness is a little willful. I will persuade him."
But the emperor was unexpectedly calm and just looked at Sheng Mingyu seriously. This kid really looked a bit like himself when he was young.
If he had been so persistent back then, would the position of Queen have been that of Imperial Concubine?
"Are you dissatisfied?"
"Of course I refuse to accept this! If Your Majesty wishes to grant me a marriage, I will be grateful, but if you wish to separate Yun Ni and me, I will not back down."
The two of them were still arguing with each other, neither wanting to back down. Gu Yunni was so anxious that she started pulling Sheng Mingyu's sleeve.
It's really not worth it to fall out with the emperor for this little thing, for your own sake.
"Alright! Then you two should go back and rest early. I will never give in anyway. It all depends on your decision. If you are unwilling to give in, then don't get married."
After the emperor said this, he turned and left, not giving Sheng Mingyu any chance to regret.
The atmosphere finally calmed down after the emperor left. The imperial teacher looked at Gu Yunni and Sheng Mingyu with embarrassment.
"I really don't know what Your Majesty means. If I had known you were thinking this, I would have warned you in advance. Your Majesty's thoughts are truly hard to guess."
Gu Yunni was calm. She would encounter many obstacles if she were with Sheng Mingyu.
"This matter has nothing to do with you. I guess His Majesty has been planning this for a long time. He came here today just to test our attitude."
It was just a small matter, of course she wouldn't back down.
"So what do you two think? Do you want me to go and plead with His Majesty? I can't interfere in marriage matters, but at least His Majesty should consider it."
With all the things piling up, Sheng Mingyu could no longer control his temper, so he pulled Gu Yunni's hand and left the hall.
"No need! This prince will handle this matter himself. Even if His Majesty doesn't agree, what can he do? I don't need anyone else to decide on my marriage."
Back in the carriage, Gu Yunni kept trying to comfort him, "Mingyu, don't be impulsive. His Majesty is truly doing this for your own good. My current status is not worthy of you. You should know what I'm thinking. I will never leave."
I have finally climbed so high, it is not worth it to get angry with His Majesty over such a trivial matter.
No matter what Gu Yunni said, Sheng Mingyu didn't respond. He just made a promise to himself, "Don't worry, since this prince has said that he wants to marry you, I will definitely give you the most grand wedding. I will definitely not let you be inferior to others. No matter what your status is, I will only recognize you."
Although Gu Yunni was touched, she was also more worried. This journey would probably be difficult.
"I won't tell you much about your plan. I believe you can do it well. I may be busy in the store these days, so we will have very little time to meet, but as long as I'm not busy, I will come to see you."
The two exchanged many tender words, but Gu Yunni still got off the carriage at the door of the shop.
"Okay, I've been a bit busy lately and can't be with you every day. Once I'm settled down, I'll go to the store with you."
"good."
She couldn't give up her business just because of something that suddenly happened, and now that she was in Kyoto, she needed to gain a bigger reputation.
As soon as Gu Yunni pushed the door open, she saw a large group of guards surrounding her.
Sitting in the middle is the second prince.
"Why is Second Prince sitting in my shop? Do you have something to talk to me about? I remember you were about to go back home just now."
The waiter she hired was hiding nearby and shivering. She raised her eyebrows.
It looks like the fish has taken the bait!
"Are you magicians really that amazing? Can you figure out anything? Then, can you help me calculate what will happen in the near future? Will I be safe in Kyoto?"
Even when the Second Prince needed help from others, he still spoke in a condescending manner.
Isn't Sheng Mingyu also subservient to him now? As an ordinary woman, she naturally has to obey his orders.
"Second Prince, are you crazy? Although I accept all kinds of business here, I am also selective about who I hire. After all, I am the boss. I really don't want to do your job. Why don't you ask someone else?"
"you!"
Gu Yunni was smiling, while the second prince's face was ashen. They were two completely different extremes.
"how?"
The counselor spoke secretly behind the Second Prince, and he finally suppressed his temper.
He came here today to test Gu Yunni's ability, and also to know to what extent he should use Sheng Mingyu and the others.
"What I said just now was a bit too much. I shouldn't have troubled you like this. I really want to give you some business today. Why don't you reconsider it?"
Gu Yunni's tone remained calm. She sat quietly in her seat and did what she was supposed to do.
"As a prince, you don't need to apologize to a mere commoner like me. I'm serious. The question you just asked cannot be answered. It would bring punishment from heaven. The secret of heaven cannot be revealed."
The second prince frowned. He always felt that Gu Yunni was deliberately making things difficult for him, and that everything she said now was just an excuse.
"Why? Doesn't the Imperial Master always show off his skills in front of my father? Why can't you reveal anything? Are you so timid, or are you not as capable as the Imperial Master?"
"Of course I'm not as good as the Imperial Master. If I were as good as him, I would have taken the position of Imperial Master long ago. Moreover, the Imperial Master is willing to divine for Your Majesty. That is his mission, but I am not."
