After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

In addition to the imperial edict, there were also dresses exclusively for the Princess Zhenguo, as well as various pearls, treasures, gold and silver rewards.

Listening to the praises in the imperial edict, Zhong Ning felt a little dazed. A few months ago, she was just a country girl who was living from hand to mouth.

But now, she has become the first-rank princess of the current dynasty.

Things in the world are ever-changing and unpredictable. At this moment, it seemed as if endless dark and yellow energy between heaven and earth was rushing towards her, circle after circle, dispelling the remaining dark and dead energy in her body.

That was the energy that she had used to preserve her life after surviving one death crisis after another. At this moment, it was like a phoenix flying towards the sky, constantly hissing and circling in her consciousness.

At this moment, she was officially linked to the fate of Dayong.

Although she was also a princess according to the previous imperial decree, the emperor only recognized her as an adopted daughter and could not be considered a member of the royal family. But now, the emperor has confirmed her identity, personally recognized her, and bestowed upon her the title of Princess Zhenguo.

Therefore, it is recognized by the royal family, the court, and the national destiny!

Only at this moment can she truly control her own destiny.

No one could ever treat her as cannon fodder again, trampling on her at will and without mercy.

However, the imperial decree granting the marriage seemed to have not been issued.

After all, this matter was personally requested by Prime Minister Gu. Logically speaking, Your Majesty should not refuse the Prime Minister's face.

But Zhong Ning thought that perhaps it was delayed until here because of the matter of the Sky-shaking Bomb.

But what she didn't know was that after Emperor Yong and Prime Minister Gu returned to the capital, Prime Minister Gu immediately went to the palace and urged His Majesty not to forget the imperial decree granting the marriage.

Emperor Yong was scolded by this old man all the way, and he originally wanted to delay for a few more days to show his reluctance to marry off his daughter.

However, the resistance lasted only a quarter of an hour before they began to prepare for the imperial decree to grant the marriage, but something unexpected happened.

His Royal Highness Prince Cheng suddenly came to the palace to pay homage.

The edict had just been written and had not yet been sent out when Prince Cheng was seen crying and complaining about his daughter's infatuation with the eldest son of the Gu family.

This made Emperor Yong very sad. He was one of the few biological brothers he had. He had finally asked him for help, so how could he refuse?

In desperation, he could only put the imperial edict aside for the time being.

Anyway, Zhaohua also said that she is still young, so even if the marriage is granted, it will have to wait three years. If the marriage is granted, what if Zhaohua falls in love with someone else?

He knew his daughter well. She would never put her heart on a man. At the moment, she liked Gu Mingzhe less than Qi Yu.

Emperor Yong walked down the stairs and said directly to Prime Minister Gu: "The princess is still young and wants to stay for another two years. There is no rush for marriage."

Prime Minister Gu was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He no longer had any good feelings towards Prince Cheng.

He secretly swore in his heart that even if his son did not marry Princess Zhaohua, he would never welcome Princess An Xian into the mansion.

Faced with Prince Cheng's deliberate attempt to make friends with him, Prime Minister Gu snorted coldly, his face looking extremely uneasy. However, he did not offend him directly out of consideration for the other party's status as a prince.

I just took the initiative to distance myself from you.

Afterwards, Prime Minister Gu went to the princess's residence in person and told Gu Mingzhe about this matter.

He also reminded me that the one who is close to the water tower gets the moon first, and whether you can capture Princess Zhaohua now depends on your own ability.

As long as Princess Zhaohua agrees, the emperor naturally has no objection.

On the surface, this matter was intercepted by Prince Cheng's Mansion halfway.

In fact, it was Princess Zhaohua who was making excuses, saying that she was not old enough and her relationship with Qi Yu was unclear.

The emperor naturally also took the princess's feelings into consideration, which was why he had not been able to make up his mind until now. It was only when he was forced to that point that Prince Cheng gave him a way out.

The emperor naturally had to go down the stairs.

Prime Minister Gu's face was heavy as he warned, "If you really want to marry Princess Zhaohua, then you must be prepared for her not to be devoted to you alone."

"You should also be prepared for the risk of being accused of being a cuckold."

Minister Gu thoroughly analyzed all the reasons with Gu Mingzhe, but all he could say to Gu Mingzhe was, "Thank you, father, for planning this for me. I'm not even afraid of death, so why should I be afraid of rumors?"

"Son, I still say the same thing. If it weren't for Princess Zhaohua, there would be no Gu Mingzhe in the world, and your father would be without a son. Your life belongs to the princess, and I will not marry anyone other than her in this life."

"If she doesn't want to marry, then her son will watch from afar, protect her for the rest of her life, and never marry."

Gu Xiang was so angry that he fell backwards and left in anger.

Gu Mingzhe was also secretly preparing to conquer Princess Zhaohua.

After all, he is the number one young master in the capital, handsome and elegant, and comes from a good family. There is no reason why he cannot marry a little princess.

In order to learn thoroughly, he studied the secret treasure map sent by Zhang Mingxuan carefully while recuperating from his injuries, and did not hesitate to ask Zhang Mingxuan how to win a woman's heart.

Zhang Mingxuan finally got his fill of being a teacher, especially since the student was Gu Mingzhe, the talented man he once admired the most. He immediately gave mysterious advice:

"Women are most easily tempted by those with whom they have an intimate relationship. If you want to win Princess Zhaohua, you must lose your dignity and integrity."

"Kissing, hugging, and lifting up, no matter which one, are what women love most. Just hold someone in your arms and you'll know how it feels!"

Gu Mingzhe blushed and showed that he was learning from the lesson.

While feeling shy, I couldn't help but think of the soft and fragrant touch when I shamelessly held her in my arms, and I couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

He just hoped that Princess Zhaohua would return home quickly so that he would have the opportunity to get the upper hand. As long as he took action, he would be able to hold Princess Zhaohua's heart in his hands.

As for Qi Yu, Fang Ping, Zhou Ge...

Gu Mingzhe sneered. As long as he doesn't die, you will just be his concubines and will never be able to appear in public!

.........

On the other hand, Princess Anxian Murongyin, who had just returned to Prince Cheng's Mansion, heard that Princess Zhaohua had just been promoted to the first-rank Princess Zhenguo.

She is two levels lower than Princess An Xian, who is of the second rank.

All her previous arrogance turned into jealousy at this moment. Murong Yin was so angry that she threw all the delicious dishes on the table away.

The plates, dishes and jade bowls shattered into pieces with a crackling sound.

Murong Yin gritted her teeth and spat out two words: "Zhao Hua..."

This bitch was originally an illegitimate daughter, and was fortunate enough to be named a princess by His Majesty. Now she has even stolen her sweetheart.

Three years ago, she returned to Beijing and met Gu Mingzhe three times. He was as handsome as jade, and she could never forget him at that first glimpse.

This time she came to Beijing, she had already reached the age of marriage.

She specifically asked her father to bring her to the capital to arrange a marriage for her, but who knew that her father returned home from work yesterday with an extremely ugly look on his face.

If he had been a step later, the son-in-law he favored would have been married to Princess Zhaohua.

It was also said that Gu Mingzhe himself was saved by the princess, and now that he was injured, he moved directly into the princess's mansion, demanding to marry him.

Minister Gu personally went to the palace to ask for an imperial decree to grant Gu Mingzhe a marriage, but he happened to stop him...
