Gu Youyou just wanted to enrage Chancellor Zhang. Only the official wives of the princes have the right to call the Emperor "Father Emperor". Their consorts and concubines can only call him "Emperor".
Don't even mention that your Zhang Shiyu has no chance of becoming one of the princes' concubines in this lifetime. Even if she did, she would still have to refer to the Emperor as "Emperor".
"Have you heard the recent city rumors?" The Emperor, seeing Gu Youyou remaining calm and even inadvertently smiling, felt reassured.
Zijin's judgment isn't flawed, having heard this for so long and yet remaining unmoved. Aside from having a plan in mind, who else could remain so composed?
"I have heard," Gu Youyou said.
Chancellor Zhang smiled proudly, "Then tell me, is it true that they are saying you and Ning Wang have long been married?"
