Chapter 241 Power
Gu Mingda didn't expect that this silly kid, who said he respected the imperial power, actually did things without any respect at all.

What's the difference between him openly talking about introduction and directly exposing the emperor's whereabouts?
Gu Mingda was only tempted for a second. Showing up in front of the emperor in advance would indeed be helpful to his career, but it was also likely to backfire.

"Thank you for your kindness, Master, but it is not necessary. His Majesty is visiting incognito and avoiding others. I believe he has no intention of seeing anyone. If I am interested, I will be able to see him when I take the palace examination in the future."

Shen Changfeng sighed and said, "Since Master wants to rely on his own real ability, I won't do this unnecessary work."

Knowing that the emperor loved to go to Baiyun Temple, Gu Mingda didn't want to take everyone there anymore. After sending Gu Zhao back to Doctor Yan, Gu Mingda took the children back.

Sitting in the carriage on the return journey, Niuniu couldn't help asking:

"Brother Shen, what does the emperor look like? My grandmother said he has three heads and six arms, just like a god. He eats with a golden bowl, has a lot of people serving him, and has thousands of concubines in the harem. Is that true?"

Shen Changfeng was drinking water, but when he heard this, he immediately choked on the water.

"How can anyone have three heads and six arms? That's not a god, that's a monster. My dear, don't say such things casually." Shen Changfeng said.

Niuniu nodded, but was still a little disappointed: "How come the emperor is just like us ordinary people? He's not that great."

Shen Changfeng said again: "My dear, you can't say this outside, understand?"

Niuniu continued to nod: "I know, you can't say bad things about anyone outside, I understand, but Brother Shen, you are not an outsider."

Shen Changfeng was inevitably fooled by these words.

"The emperor's power does not lie in his appearance, but in the power he holds," said Gu Mingda.

Niuniu turned around and asked, "Daddy, what is power?"

Shen Changfeng was also listening attentively to Gu Mingda's explanation.

Gu Mingda said: "Your mother and I don't allow you to eat sweets, you must obey, this is our right as parents."

"The power of the emperor lies in the fact that he can command everyone in the world to obey him and act according to his ideas. He can dominate everyone, so he is the most powerful person in the world."

When Niuniu heard this, her eyes widened and she asked, "He can snatch the food from my hand? And I can't resist?"

Gu Mingda touched the little girl's head and said, "He does have such ability, but he probably won't do it."

The little girl was relieved immediately and asked again: "I really want to eat sweets, but you won't let me eat them. But I know in my heart that you are doing this for my own good. The emperor uses his power for the good of others, right?"

Gu Mingda didn't expect that his daughter was so sharp and could draw inferences from one instance in such a short time.

"The emperor is the master of all his subjects, and he also bears the heavy responsibility of taking care of the world's fame, so when he uses his power, it should be for the good of others," said Gu Mingda.

"Is this what our emperor did?" Niu Niu asked again.

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Mingda finally nodded.

Niuniu looked relieved: "That's good, if that's the case, I would also like to have such a master."

Gu Mingda sighed. Theory is theory, reality is reality. The emperor is still a king who loves his people and works diligently, but even so, many people are still in dire straits.

The carriage suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Gu Mingda asked Qi Dashan who was driving the coach.

"Master, there is a broken carriage ahead and it is parked in the middle of the road, blocking the road," said Qi Dashan.

Gu Mingda knew that Qi Dashan could repair carriages, so he said, "Go forward and see if you can help." Qi Dashan jumped off the carriage and walked forward, and did not come back for a long time.

The carriage stayed there, and Niu Niu felt a little stuffy, so she couldn't help but lift the curtain and look outside.

She immediately saw a middle-aged man surrounded by several people on the roadside ahead.

"Dad, I saw someone familiar." Niu Niu said.

Gu Mingda was full of surprise: "You actually have acquaintances in the capital?"

He got off the carriage carrying Niuniu, and Shen Changfeng followed behind a step late.

"Sir! Is your carriage broken down?" Niu Niu asked.

Li Yong turned around when he heard the voice, and when he saw it was Niu Niu, a smile appeared on his face.

Although he had only met Niu Niu once, he inexplicably liked her. He had been thinking about her these days and always thought that if he had a daughter, she would be as cute as Niu Niu.

"Nice to meet you again, little girl. Are you with your family?" When Li Yong said this, his eyes fell on Gu Mingda who was holding Niu Niu.

Gu Mingda is handsome and tall, and just standing there makes people feel attracted to him.

Li Yong looked back again, and then he saw an unlucky child, and quietly shook his head at the unlucky child.

Shen Changfeng also widened his eyes at this time. He had originally wanted to help Gu Mingda make an introduction, but he didn't expect to meet him halfway. Luck is really hard to say.

Shen Changfeng could only bow to Li Yong from a distance. Seeing that he was unwilling to reveal his identity, he could only cover his mouth.

Niuniu introduced: "This is my father! Mr. Big, I don't know what to call you yet?"

Hearing this, Li Yong smiled and said, "It's good to call you Master. Your father looks like a scholar, right?"

Niuniu said with pride: "My father was the first place winner in the provincial examination. He is really amazing!"

When Gu Mingda heard this, he couldn't help but tap Niuniu's head gently: "Child, you should be more modest."

Niuniu said, "Daddy is already very powerful! There is no need for me to be modest!"

Hearing these childish words, Li Yong couldn't help laughing. He looked at Gu Mingda with envy. With such a lovely daughter at his disposal, he must have no worries.

"Mr. Da, are you here at Baiyun Temple again to meet your wife?" Niu Niu asked.

Li Yong heard this and nodded.

"There are too many people in Baiyun Temple now. I may not come here in the future. I hope she can be safe and happy where I can't see her." Li Yong looked lonely.

Niuniu comforted her, "I definitely will."

Coincidentally, at this time, Qi Dashan finally helped to repair the carriage.

"Little girl, I'm going back now. I hope we can meet again."

After saying this, Li Yong nodded to Gu Mingda, turned around and got into the carriage with the help of his servants.

Gu Mingda held Niuniu in his arms and turned around to get on his own carriage.

Shen Changfeng was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect Gu Mingda to ask directly: "The great gentleman just now is your Majesty, right?"
