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

After Murong Yin finished her toast, she turned to look in the direction of Gu Mingzhe and said in a gentle voice, "Master Gu, Yin'er has admired you for a long time. Could I offer you a toast?"

Toasting so openly in front of everyone was a public declaration that Gu Mingzhe was the man she liked and no one else was allowed to snatch him away.

If you dare to rob it, you will have to risk offending her Prince Cheng's Mansion.

She was also sure that Gu Mingzhe, as the legitimate son of the Prime Minister, would not let her lose face in front of everyone.

But what was unexpected was that Gu Mingzhe directly picked up the wine glass, stood up in front of everyone and slowly walked to Zhong Ning's side.

He ordered the palace maid to bring a mat and sit beside her, then he said softly, "Your Highness, I toast you!"

Zhong Ning also raised his glass and clinked glasses with him as if no one else was around.

In this relationship, it was Gu Mingzhe who had always taken the initiative, walking up to her and expressing his feelings. Even if Zhong Ning couldn't bear it anymore, she couldn't refuse such sincerity.

Only Qi Yu was standing guard beside Emperor Yong, holding a knife. His eyes were colder than before, and when he looked in the direction of Gu Mingzhe, they were extremely gloomy.

The sight of the perfect couple smiling at each other pierced his heart.

Murong Yin's face was even gloomier. She had never expected that Gu Mingzhe would slap her in the face so blatantly in front of everyone.

It must be that bitch Zhao Hua who seduced me first!

Otherwise, how could Gu Mingzhe not see her good side?

Murong Yin's eyes were slightly red, which made Prince Cheng and Princess Cheng feel distressed.

Prince Cheng's son Murong Xuan was even more displeased, and he said directly to Gu Mingzhe: "Gu family's legitimate son, you are doing very well!"

"What do you mean, my lord?" Zhong Ning replied calmly:

"Everyone in the court knows that my father intended to arrange a marriage between me and the eldest son of the Gu family, but it was Uncle Cheng who stopped it. I also want to ask, what are the intentions of the Cheng Palace? Are they trying to snatch the bride in public?"

"You..." Murong Xuan was angry and was about to speak, but Zhong Ning said again:

"Or is it that there are no more men in this world, and Prince Cheng's Mansion has come to snatch men from me?"

"Do you think I'm a pushover?"

"Or does it mean that Prince Cheng's Mansion has never taken my father seriously?"

Murong Xuan was blocked by this sentence.

But he still refused to accept it.

His sister, how delicate and lovely she is.

I finally found a man I like, and he turned out to be Princess Zhaohua's man.

But even so, so what?

His sister deserves the best man in the world!

As the most outstanding young master in the capital, Gu Mingzhe is barely worthy of his sister's attention. It is his honor that his sister likes him.

He actually dared to ignore it, he was so arrogant!

Murong Bo and Murong Lian looked at Zhong Ning and Gu Mingzhe with extremely sinister eyes at this time. It was really hateful that they dared to bully their sister.

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, Princess Cheng could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb.

The relationship between Prince Cheng's Mansion and the Heavenly Family must not be like this. Although she felt sorry for her daughter, she had not completely lost her mind:

"Your Highness, you are joking. Yin'er is just a young girl with no ill intentions. I hope Your Highness will not blame me!"

"There are more than one person in the capital who has girlish thoughts. Princess Cheng means that I should also give in to your little princess's girlish thoughts?" Zhong Ning's tone was light, but anyone could hear her displeasure at the moment.

Princess Cheng is no exception!

"Of course not..." Princess Cheng tried to argue for her little daughter. "The legitimate son of the Gu family is like Yu'erlang, and there are many people who are eyeing him closely. Therefore, the wishes of the legitimate son of the Gu family are more important."

After hearing this, Murong Yin looked at Gu Mingzhe expectantly.

Everyone's eyes were focused here.

But Gu Mingzhe stood up in front of everyone, walked to the center of the banquet, straightened his body, lifted his robe and knelt. A clear voice suddenly rang out: "Student Gu Mingzhe, once again, begs to marry Princess Zhaohua!"

Prime Minister Gu also stood up immediately and knelt beside him: "Your Majesty, this is the third time I have come to ask for your help. I really have no other choice but to fulfill his wish!"

Witnessing this scene with her own eyes, Murong Yin's tears immediately fell.

This is the man she likes, and he is hers.

No one can take her things.

Murong Yin's face twisted slightly, she dug her fingers into her palms, and cursed in her heart: Zhao Hua deserves to die, die, die...

Zhong Ning sat in his seat and felt as if there was a dangerous aura coming. When he raised his eyes, he saw Murong Yin's eyes full of hatred.

Zhong Ning smiled slightly. When the dangerous aura was about to hit Zhong Ning's body, it was suddenly blocked back by the golden shield emitted by the Book Spirit Space and dissipated between heaven and earth in an instant.

Seeing that Zhong Ning didn't react at all, Murong Yin immediately increased her strength.

But after one, two, three times, there was still no response.

This isn't right.

How could this be?

She knew from a young age that she was gifted with special powers and was blessed by heaven. Whatever she liked would bring her good luck, and whatever she hated would bring her frequent accidents.

But now, it has no effect on Princess Zhaohua.

It's so funny. She has survived so many life-threatening situations, and has long been surrounded by halos and protected by merits. Unless it is a punishment from heaven, few people can hurt her with evil thoughts.

On the other side, Emperor Yong frowned as he looked at the father and son kneeling at the banquet. It was indeed not easy to refuse again and again.

Helplessly, he turned towards Zhong Ning and asked, "Zhao Hua, what do you think?"

Zhong Ning was silent for a moment, knowing that he couldn't escape this time, so he stood up and knelt down as well: "Your Majesty, I am willing. Please grant the marriage!"

Emperor Yong's eyes lightly swept over the direction where Qi Yu was, and saw that he was clenching his fists, his whole body was tense, and his eyes were fixed on the person below.

Emperor Yong sighed slightly in his heart. At this moment, he also mourned for Qi Yu. At the beginning, he did not ask for a title and was only willing to stay behind Princess Zhaohua. But now seeing this scene with his own eyes, he must be extremely painful in his heart.

Emperor Yong withdrew his gaze calmly and said in a deep voice:

"Since you two are in love, I will grant you a marriage. Gu Mingzhe, Zhaohua is my beloved daughter. I owed her a lot in my early years. I will grant you the right to be my consort. You can also take the imperial examinations, seek fame, and become an official in the court!"

"You must not let me down in this life, otherwise I will never forgive you!"

Gu Mingzhe bowed deeply and said, "I obey your command. Thank you, Your Majesty. I will treat the princess like a jewel and a treasure for the rest of my life!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, this old minister!" Prime Minister Gu was finally relieved. The imperial edict had been issued and could not be changed.

Zhong Ning also bowed and said, "Thank you, Father!"

At this moment, Murong Yin felt that her whole body was trembling.

Bitch, bitch!

Prince Cheng held his little daughter's hand lovingly, and there was a hint of resentment in his eyes when he looked up at the emperor.

Murong Xuan, Murong Bo and others looked extremely ugly.

There had never been a moment when they, the Prince Cheng's Mansion, felt so aggrieved. They were publicly rejected by a man and their sister was made so sad.

The person who had the most complicated feelings at this time was Zhong Ning.

After returning to her seat, she felt a little uneasy. The reason was simple: the gaze from above was too resentful.

Zhong Ning looked up and saw a deep pool. The mood in the pool was depressed, as if infinite pain was churning.

Zhong Ning's breath stopped and he felt a little guilty instinctively.

Gu Mingzhe also noticed that gaze, and only raised his eyebrows slightly. He held Zhong Ning's small hand with his fingers hidden under his sleeves, and kept rubbing it gently to comfort her.

Only at this moment did Gu Mingzhe truly feel that as long as he was still around, you were just his concubines!

After finishing his private affairs, Emperor Yong finally said, "Lord Fang, are you ready?"

Fang Ping was still immersed in the shock of the emperor's sudden arranged marriage, but was suddenly brought back to his senses by Emperor Yong's call.

He immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, everything is ready!"

"So, let's begin!"

"Yes!"

Fang Ping took out a newly made military bugle from his pocket and put it directly to his mouth and started to blow it.

The charge horn sounded, and a team of imperial guards marched in in an orderly manner from outside the palace!

Everyone was startled by the sudden appearance of the imperial guards, not knowing what the emperor was going to do.
