There have been a lot of rumors going around recently, and he thinks it would be better to decide on Gu Yunni as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, he went to find the emperor alone.
"You have time to come see me today? I thought you brought someone here to read books and never wanted to see me. Tell me, what do you want from me? You'd better not make me angry!"
Sheng Mingyu also spoke directly, but his request was well-reasoned and his words were reasonable.
"Uncle, you're really smart. I do have something to ask of you, and I've mentioned it to you before. I don't think you'll be too angry. After all, Yun Ni and I have a very good relationship, and many people recognize her status as the Crown Prince's Consort. I only ask for an imperial decree from His Majesty. Wouldn't that be convenient?"
Even if the emperor wanted to object, he couldn't, after all, everyone outside already knew that Gu Yunni was Sheng Mingyu's princess and their relationship was very stable.
If he keeps opposing, he will be like an elder who does not do his job.
"What? You won't think about it again?"
The emperor really had no objection this time. He also hoped that Sheng Mingyu and Gu Yunni could settle down earlier, at least so that Du Changming could put his mind to it.
But he couldn't help but ask a few questions. If Sheng Mingyu felt there was a problem, he wouldn't force her.
After all, Sheng Mingyu is still very important in his heart.
"Many noble ladies from aristocratic families like you and have come to me and told me that if you feel you are not suitable, I will match you with someone else. Although you have your life on your hands, as a child of the royal family, there will be someone willing to marry you even if there are problems."
The emperor spoke with a clear conscience, and every word he said was for Sheng Mingyu's consideration. He also hoped that he could consider it carefully.
Young people fall in love impulsively, but when they get older, they realize that they are not suitable for each other. He doesn't want to regret it when Sheng Mingyu is old.
"Your Majesty, rest assured. This prince will only marry this one wife in this life. I promise not to take anyone else. Do you understand what I mean? I will not marry anyone else but Gu Yunni."
Sheng Mingyu had a smile on his face and a determined look in his eyes.
When she said this, her tone was sweet.
He only wants to be with Gu Yunni in this life. As long as His Majesty agrees today, he can get engaged.
"I will consider it carefully. Your marriage cannot be hastily decided, but I will not refuse. Your feelings will prevail. I just need to think about it for a while."
The emperor was very pleased that there was finally a sensible young man around him, and he did not rush to refuse.
Gu Yunni is indeed a very good person and a very capable person, and is more than qualified to be a match for Sheng Mingyu.
But her status is not equal, so he has to find a way to raise Gu Yunni's status.
At this time, Gu Yunni originally wanted to come in to find Sheng Mingyu, but who would have thought that she would hear Sheng Mingyu's sincere confession.
"Crown Princess? Why are you standing outside and not coming in? Eavesdropping on what His Majesty says is a crime." The eunuch immediately reminded Gu Yunni when he saw her.
Gu Yunni had been stunned in the spot, and only came back to her senses when the eunuch called her, "It's okay, please tell them for me, don't tell them I've been here for a long time."
She hurriedly warned the eunuch that although she had heard Sheng Mingyu's sincere confession, she had not yet figured out how to deal with it.
"Yes." The eunuch was a little puzzled, but decided to follow Gu Yunni's instructions.
There will still be time to report this to His Majesty quietly after she leaves.
Who doesn't know how capable this prince's wife is? There's absolutely nothing wrong with following her words.
The emperor was not surprised when he heard the news. "Then call the people in."
"Yes." After the eunuch retreated, he called Gu Yunni in.
This time, the emperor was no longer as cold as before when he saw Gu Yunni. He even joked with her, "How is it? Have you gained anything from reading these past two days? Have you improved your esoteric arts? I really want to see you compete with the Imperial Master. I wonder who will come out on top?"
What he said was the truth. Since he had determined that Gu Yunni was a member of the royal family, he naturally had to treat her better.
Gu Yunni was a little surprised at the emperor's sudden change of attitude, but she could also understand that it was probably because of Sheng Mingyu.
There was a smile on Gu Yunni's lips. For Sheng Mingyu's sake, she retracted her sharp thorns and spoke much more gently.
"Your Majesty, I think the Imperial Master is more powerful. If Your Majesty saw the Imperial Master's magic, I guess he wouldn't be interested in my little tricks. I'd better not show off my skills in front of an expert, or I'll be embarrassed."
Seeing Gu Yunni's attitude, the emperor was satisfied. "Alright! I won't keep you any longer. Go back and rest early. I hope you can become more and more powerful. Maybe I'll need you in the future."
He was no longer as aggressive as before and told Gu Yunni to rest early. He just hoped that the two children could really achieve success and that all his efforts would not be in vain.
As soon as the two of them left the palace, they saw a servant running over and shouting "Something bad happened" to Sheng Mingyu.
"Prince! Something bad has happened!"
Sheng Mingyu frowned. Something happened again?
He turned around and saw the servant continue, "A soldier has returned from the front lines. He developed a high fever on the way. He's been to many doctors, but to no avail. He's now outside the capital. I'm worried about an epidemic, so I've sent him to a farm outside the city. Do you think we should send the imperial physician to check him out?"
He didn't even wait for Sheng Mingyu to speak and directly stated the purpose of his visit.
Sheng Mingyu was a little angry at first, but after listening for a while, he understood what was going on and felt panic in his heart.
"Are the symptoms confirmed to be the plague? Why would he return to Kyoto in this situation? Kyoto is an important place. If the court officials are infected, the entire court will be unable to continue functioning!"
This is no small matter, and it involves his own soldiers.
If the matter gets out of hand, all the blame will be on him.
Compared to Sheng Mingyu, Gu Yunni was a little calmer. She took his hand and gently soothed him, "Don't worry. Didn't we say it's not confirmed yet? Find an imperial physician first and report to His Majesty. Although there's no accurate information, it's always better to be prepared. That way, even if something breaks out, you won't be blamed."
She quickly figured out a solution and turned back to the palace.
This matter cannot be resolved by small people like them. We still have to wait and see what His Majesty decides.
What's more, if this is not handled properly, it will affect the people of the whole world. She can't let Sheng Mingyu bear the blame alone.
"Yun Ni!" Sheng Mingyu also calmed down, took Gu Yun Ni's hand and shook his head.
He has to take responsibility for this matter alone. If Du Changming knew about it, he would probably make a fuss about it.
He finally got married to Gu Yunni, and he didn't want any accidents to happen in between.
