Being a cannon fodder female supporting role is not as good as marrying a lucky villain

Jiangnan, covered with snow in winter, covered the whole Jiangnan with a layer of hoarfrost.

Kong Xiao was sitting in the gazebo, the cold wind was blowing, and the attendants outside the gazebo shrank their necks, but he seemed to be in a warm spring day, and his expression was extremely comfortable.

After a long time, the sound of hurried footsteps came, and Kong Xiao opened his tightly closed eyes, staring fixedly at the person coming.

"A letter from Beijing?"

Although he was in doubt, there was no doubt on his face.

The person who came was Kong Xiao's most trusted subordinate. He had a heavy expression, but his eyes were faintly flickering with excitement. Seeing this, Kong Xiao's heart, which had been silent for a long time, also became agitated at this moment.

"Is it sent by the little master?"

"Exactly!"

The subordinate nodded heavily, and handed the letter in his hands to Kong Xiao.

Kong Xiao's fingers trembled slightly, and he took the letter slowly and forcefully. He took a deep breath before he dared to open it.

The strange handwriting was particularly glaring in Kong Xiao's eyes. He was holding a corner of the letter paper, his eyes were a little disappointed.

In the end is different.

He looked at the contents of the letter, mixed with sadness and joy.

"Little master forgive you?" The subordinate asked quickly.

However, seeing Kong Xiao's sad expression, he knew he had guessed wrong.

Kong Xiao looked up at the slightly gloomy sky, and said in a low tone, "It was I who harmed His Highness back then, and he should not forgive me."

"Then how could it be your fault?" The subordinate was puzzled, "You also ran for His Royal Highness back then, but the person in charge is the king of a country after all, how can you compete with him?"

"Besides, you have been rejected by the emperor for His Highness the Crown Prince. The powerful general of the hussars was relegated to the south of the Yangtze River and served as a small judge. You have done enough for His Highness the Crown Prince..."

"There's no need to cover it up." Kong Xiao looked at the river not far away, and sighed, "I failed to protect His Highness, and I was incompetent. It was my greed to see his reputation being smeared after His Highness died. Afraid of death, he curled up in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River to save his life."

"But you have been covering up for the little master all these years. If it weren't for your help in secret, his identity would have been known to the emperor long ago. You can't always be misunderstood by the little master."

"The death of His Highness the Crown Prince was not something you could have foreseen. You have done everything you can."

The subordinate's consolation not only failed to relieve Kong Xiao's guilt, but made him blame himself even more.

Seeing Kong Xiao rubbing his temples, his brows were tightly wrinkled, and the subordinate hesitated to speak.

After a long time, Kong Xiao finally said: "You don't have to worry about me, since the little master has written, it proves that his attitude has relaxed."

However, the subordinates became vigilant: "Could it be that he wants you to lead the army..."

"Of course not." Kong Xiao's eyes were flat, but it was enough to make his subordinates clenched their hands uncomfortably, and he said slowly, "The little master asked me to enter the capital, but it was not for treason, but for me to train a team for Chu State." A true black knight."

"Because I was greedy for life and afraid of death back then, I caused my little master to wander outside. This time, I will never repeat the same mistakes!" Kong Xiao clenched his hands into fists and gritted his teeth. He pays in blood!"

Hearing this, the subordinate swallowed the persuasion after all. He knew that what happened back then has always been an untouchable shadow in Kong Xiao's heart. If he wanted to get rid of it, he had to make up for his mistakes and let Kong Xiao make up for the regrets of the year.

……

The end of the year has come, and the capital is once again bustling.

As the year approached, several major events occurred, among which the most talked about was the infertility of the crown prince.

However, such rumors had spread out of the capital, but there was no movement in the palace. Therefore, this rumor, which was believed to be true, became a rumor again without knowing it.

If the prince is barren, how can the emperor let him inherit the throne?

As a result, these rumors gradually subsided, and after a few days of the Chinese New Year, no one mentioned this matter anymore.

Only the Pei family could get some clues from some news from the palace.

Gu Ning came out of the front hall, turned around the screen wall, and saw Chu Shiling rushing in excitedly.

"Wait!" Gu Ning stopped Chu Shiling, looked at Chu Shiling suspiciously, "What are you doing here today?"

"According to my mother's entrustment, I came here specially to pay my respects to the Eldest Princess." Chu Shiling said solemnly, "Hurry up and invite me in."

"Grandmother is in the conference hall." Gu Ning snorted, but did not continue to stop Chu Shiling, but took her to the other side into the garden of Pei's mansion, "Tell me, except for this matter , what other plans do you have? Let’s talk about it together.”

Chu Shiling blushed and heart beat after being exposed to that small thought, "I'm not asking you for something."

"You are not begging for help." Gu Ning squinted at her.

Chu Shiling's cheeks were bulging, like a squirrel stuffed with nuts, and she whispered: "Have you heard? The Huns intend to ask our Chu country to marry a princess."

Hearing this, Gu Ning coughed heavily, his eyes were full of shock: "Marriage?"

At the same time, she asked the system to scan the plot of the original book many times, but she never saw anything related to marriage.

In Gu Ning's eyes full of shock, the system added a sentence: "As the host gradually changes the plot of the original book, it will naturally affect the subsequent plot."

Is the butterfly effect that big?

Gu Ning subconsciously clenched her hands, it wasn't because she made a fuss, it was because the timing of the marriage was too ingenious.

Seeing Gu Ning's appearance, Chu Shiling sighed, with a bit of sadness on his face: "It seems that you are also worried about me."

Before Gu Ning could open her mouth, she took out a bunch of portraits from the box she brought: "Choose one for me, this is the portrait I bought from the matchmaker. If you look better, I'll just marry him."

Gu Ning's eyes turned to Chu Shiling: "What are you crazy about?"

"I'm not crazy." Chu Shiling was full of resentment, "The emperor only has a few princesses, and the oldest is only six years old. Could it be possible to let a six-year-old princess go to have a kiss?"

"They must choose women of appropriate status and age from all the clan women. My mother is just a princess, my grandmother passed away early, and my father has no real power. From this point of view, I am the most suitable one. You can't marry the Xiongnu who have gone to the yellow sand!"

"I won't make a kiss." Gu Ning said suddenly.

But Chu Shiling did not report any expectations for this: "You are thinking too simply. Our relationship with the Xiongnu is in dire straits. The army at the border has always been defeated by the Huns. If there is a chance, let us fight with the Xiongnu." The Xiongnu ruled across the mountains, and only one woman is needed to calm down the war, do you think the emperor and those ministers will agree?"

After Chu Shiling's analysis, her mood was completely depressed.

She propped her chin with her hands, and sighed sadly: "But if I don't know people well and choose a husband like a prince, wouldn't it be..."

"The marriage has not yet been settled, so why worry about something that hasn't happened yet?" Gu Ning pressed Chu Shiling's hand, and under Chu Shiling's worried eyes, she said loudly, "Let's not say that the Huns suddenly proposed a marriage Is it because there are other plans in the heart, so what if it is true? Do you think Yan Guo will just sit there and watch our two countries reach a marriage?"

"If you really want to make a marriage, the most anxious person is not you, but the emperor of Yan and the ministers of Yan. They will definitely try their best to prevent the marriage."

These words, like enlightenment, brightened Chu Shiling's mood instantly.

"You're right!" Chu Shiling nodded emphatically, "There are many capable people in the Yan Kingdom, and they will definitely not let me marry the Huns!"

Hearing this, Gu Ning was about to nod and stopped immediately.

She was speechless for a moment, and she spoke after a long time: "Don't be so happy, you still have to make preparations."

With that said, Gu Ning unfolded the dozens of portraits brought by Chu Shiling one by one, and looked at them carefully.

"Why are there people from the Xiao family?" Gu Ning threw the portrait aside, "The Xiao family can't."

"Why?" Chu Shiling's eyes widened, and he picked up the portrait, "I think he is the best-looking among these dozens of people."

The corners of Gu Ning's lips curled up, and he sneered at Chu Shiling with a half-hearted sneer: "Really? But his direct sister is thinking about thanking the banquet."

"Then I don't want it anymore." Without thinking about it, Chu Shiling threw the portrait on the ground, and stepped on it a few times.

Seeing Chu Shiling like this, the corners of Gu Ning's mouth rose slightly: "You are wise."

Chu Shiling came to Gu Ning's side and looked at her pitifully: "For you, I abandoned all the men I valued. You must give me something in return, right?"

Gu Ning rolled his eyes upwards, and said angrily: "Is it still for the sake of getting married?"

"Of course!" Chu Shiling said dog-leggedly while beating Gu Ning's shoulders, "You are the most beloved granddaughter of the eldest princess, you must be able to speak in front of her, if I am really selected, You must speak kindly for me in front of the princess, and don't let me make a kiss."

Speaking of this, Chu Shiling seemed to have foreseen the tragic situation of her own marriage. She pursed her mouth and grinned and cried: "The men of the Huns all look like bears. I don't want to marry such a rude man!"

"Don't worry." Gu Ning patted Chu Shiling's hand, "Even if the marriage is true, even if I don't say anything, grandma will never let you go."

"I knew the eldest princess was the best." Chu Shiling's expression immediately changed when he heard that.

She sat down opposite Gu Ning, raised the tea cup and took a sip, the tea cup bottomed out.

"You don't even know, I've been worrying about this matter for several days."

"Don't worry." Gu Ning interrupted her and asked carefully, "Where did you get the news?"

Chu Shiling frowned, and muttered: "My mother told me in the letter that the Huns have not invaded the border in recent days, and they have repeatedly shown us goodwill."

"Traveling merchants who went to the Western Regions are also talking about getting married."
