Happy Spring Every Year

When these words came out, Lu Yunzheng's heart trembled.

This is definitely the first time that good luck has favored him since his rebirth!

Because he knew very well that Jiang Xun would never accept the arranged marriage, and if so, he would be the only one left!

Lu Yunzheng was just beginning to feel overjoyed when he saw Jiang Xun bowing and saying in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, I did not—"

"Xiuzhi, I didn't ask you."

Emperor Sheng spoke in a calm voice, stopping Jiang Xun from talking, and then looked at Tuoba Ning.

It was the first time for everyone to see a princess choosing a husband in public. Obviously, this favor should be attributed to the eldest princess who made great contributions to the Sheng Dynasty.

So everyone secretly glanced at the eldest princess's expression, trying to get some clues from it.

But the eldest princess just watched her daughter's heart and acted as if she was letting her daughter make the decision.

Tuoba Ning stood up, his eyes moving back and forth between Jiang Xun and Lu Yunzheng.

Lu Yunzheng's heart was pounding, and at this moment he wished Jiang Xun would go against the norm and say more words to refuse the marriage.

He couldn't help but look up slightly, and happened to meet Tuoba Ning's gaze. The smile in those big eyes gave him a glimmer of hope.

The next moment, Tuoba Ning raised his hand and pointed at him!

Everyone murmured and looked at each other.

At this moment, even Prince Rui and Prince Xiang could not help but show surprise in their eyes.

Lu Yunzheng felt a surge of heat rising to his head. He immediately took a step forward and responded almost impatiently:

"I deeply feel—"

But the next moment, Tuoba Ning's innocent voice rang out in the hall:

"Although Master Lu is a skilled martial artist, he is said to have secretly taught others and even rudely broke off an engagement. This princess despises such a person no matter what."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Baohua Palace fell silent for a moment.

"Ning'er."

It was the eldest princess who spoke again, frowned and glanced at Tuoba Ning, breaking the silence.

But Tuoba Ning refused to listen and said confidently, "Khatun, what did Ning'er say wrong? In Yuedu, a man who breaks his promise and cancels an engagement at the last minute will be flogged!"

At this time, everyone slowly came to their senses.

Thinking of what had just happened, Lu Yunzheng seemed to be eager to express his gratitude, and everyone immediately looked at him with playful and sarcastic expressions.

Lu Yunzheng looked up in shock, his face full of disbelief.

Until a low whisper reached his ears, his face turned red for a moment, but soon turned pale.

Besides humiliation, there is more anger.

Princess An Ning was simply teasing him!

why?

I have no grudge against her!

When his thoughts reached this point, Lu Yunzheng's heart skipped a beat and he turned to look at Shen Jiasui standing beside him.

Today, Shen Jiasui and Princess An Ning were good friends and had been together all day. He couldn't think of any other reason except Shen Jiasui's instigation.

Lu Yunzheng gritted his teeth, his facial muscles tensed and his expression stiffened. No matter how glorious he looked standing there just now, he looked as ridiculous now!

Seeing the whispers around him growing louder, General Lu looked very embarrassed.

When he looked at Lu Yunzheng, his eyes were full of disappointment, but he could not hide his heartache.

One step wrong, step by step wrong.

When Yun Zheng broke off the engagement without authorization and brought Gu Xizhi back to the Lu Mansion, he had said that, privately, this was a sign of poor character, and publicly, no one would dare to trust such a treacherous person like him.

But Yun Zheng insisted on his own way, which resulted in him losing face and being ridiculed by others today.

If he could realize his mistakes and not repent, he could be saved. But if he still doesn't repent...

General Lu stood up and bowed to Emperor Sheng before saying coldly, "You evil creature, why don't you just get back here and continue to embarrass yourself!"

Lu Yunzheng trembled all over and looked back at his father in disbelief.

He had already fallen into such an embarrassing situation, but his father not only refused to say a word for him, but even added insult to injury...

Doesn’t Dad know that Princess An Ning’s words today almost ruined his career and future?

Am I not his son?

Lu Yunzheng's eyes turned red, embarrassment and resentment surged up at the same time, and even gave rise to a hint of hatred.

He walked back to the case with stiff steps, ignoring the mocking looks of others. At this moment, his desire to prove himself reached its peak.

He could no longer endure the setbacks he had suffered in recent days. He knew clearly what would happen in the future and that he still had a lot to do. Even if it meant risking his life, he would not hesitate!

Everyone watched a good show. Although they didn't know why Princess An Ning did this, Lu Yunzheng behaved so ugly in front of the emperor that he seemed to be ruined.

A "useless person" was naturally not worth paying attention to, so everyone withdrew their gazes and looked at Jiang Xun who was still in the hall.

Princess An Ning was still smiling, but no one could guess what she was thinking at this moment.

Emperor Sheng, however, asked, "What about Xiuzhi?"

Tuoba Ning nodded and said with a smile, "Ning'er heard of Lord Jiang's name on the way back to the capital."

"Today at the Juchang Field, he remained fearless in the face of danger. Ning'er saw it all and had no objections."

"Uncle Emperor, why don't you just take Lord Jiang—"

Almost everyone thought that this time the outcome was really settled.

But at this moment, a eunuch came hurriedly outside the hall, walked around behind everyone, rushed to the side of Eunuch Deshun, and whispered something in his ear.

Eunuch Deshun's face changed slightly when he heard this. He did not dare to delay and leaned over to Emperor Sheng, covering his lips and conveying the message.

No one knew what was said, but Emperor Sheng suddenly raised his eyebrows, his expression unrecognizable, but he glanced at everyone seated below, and finally fixed his gaze on Jiang Xun.

Seeing this, Tuoba Ning stopped talking at the right time, with a puzzled look on his face.

At this time, Emperor Sheng said calmly, "Outside the palace, the Anyang Marquis and his wife are requesting an audience. Since this matter concerns Xiuzhi's lifelong affairs, let them come in and listen."

Jiang Xun had been silent for a long time. When he heard this, he suddenly raised his head, frowned and looked back.

Everyone was shocked and surprised at the same time.

They didn't even notice that the Anyang Earl and his wife did not attend the banquet today.

It was also because one of them was a playboy and the other was insane, and Jiang Xun was always with Old Lin every time he appeared, so they never thought of the existence of these two people.

So, why did they suddenly ask for a meeting at this moment?

Gee...

At this time, some people have already realized that they don't want Princess An Ning to choose Jiang Xun.

After all, even if Princess An Ning loves Jiang Xun because of his affection for her, the eldest princess will definitely look down on such a pair of despicable parents.

Thinking of this, everyone looked outside intently.

Soon, the sound of messy footsteps was heard, and two figures supporting each other came into everyone's sight.

Perhaps it was because they arrived too hastily, but the Anyang Earl and his wife didn't even change into their formal attire for the banquet. Furthermore, they were probably in such a hurry on the way here that sweat was oozing from their foreheads.

Especially the wife of the Anyang Earl, her hair is a little messy...

This is so disrespectful, it is simply a breach of etiquette in front of the palace.

Jiang Xun had such a pair of parents, which made the court officials who usually did not get along with him smile and gloat.

As everyone was thinking this, they saw Jiang Xun bow to Emperor Sheng, then turn around and walk forward to greet him.

"Father? Mother?"

As soon as the Anyang Earl and his wife entered the hall, they saw that everyone was sitting except Jiang Xun standing in the hall.

Their already ugly faces turned even paler, and they hurriedly pulled Jiang Xun from the left and right to kneel down in front of Emperor Sheng.

Anyang Bo was sweating profusely. Under everyone's confused gaze, he kowtowed and spoke in a trembling voice:

"Your Majesty, all the blame lies solely with this humble servant. My son is innocent. Please forgive him!"
