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

Another beauty died in the palace.

This is already the third beauty who died this month, and they were all beauties who were legitimately favored, but died of illness for unknown reasons.

The palace people of the Taiji Palace changed again. When Xie Yan came to the Taiji Palace, except for Li Dehai, he didn't see any familiar palace people.

Li Dehai bowed his back and welcomed Xie Yan in.

He lowered his head, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "The emperor's character has become more and more uncertain. Just now he praised that beauty for her good idea, but the next moment he strangled her to death."

There was no other expression on Xie Yan's face, but Li Dehai knew that he had taken this matter to heart.

The emperor met Xie Yan with a smile on his face.

"You are finally here. I have ordered people to prepare good wine and food, and I am waiting for you!"

Xie Yan bowed to the emperor, even though he was valued by the emperor, he has always been respectful to the emperor, and has never been perfunctory.

It was his attitude that made the emperor appreciate him even more.

The emperor waved his hand and let him sit beside him.

"Princess Anyang has passed away. According to the law, Ning'er has to keep her filial piety for three years. This year may not be long or short, but your marriage will definitely be affected by this. What do you think? Tell me to listen."

"Although I'm only the fiancé of the county lord, I've been under the care of the Pei family for many years, so I should also keep a filial piety for the county lord for three years." Xie Yan replied sternly.

The emperor was not very satisfied with his answer, but thinking that he valued Xie Yan because of his outstanding ability and good character, so after frowning, he did not continue to speak.

"You haven't married Ning'er yet, so you don't need to abide by these red tapes." The emperor shook his head, "I just want to let you enjoy the blessing of being equal to everyone!"

"I have a daughter with first-class appearance and temperament, and she is very suitable for you. I intend to betroth her to you, so that she can be on an equal footing with Ning'er. How about it?" The emperor laughed, "This is what ordinary people want An unexpected honor!"

After all, as a son-in-law, everything depends on the princess.

The emperor thought that when the Pei family was in decline, Xie Yan would understand the current affairs and agree to himself.

Never thought that when he had the chance to win, Xie Yan shook his head slowly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for not agreeing."

"The Pei family is not the former Pei family. If they threaten you with kindness, you can tell me." The emperor frowned and said, "I am the Son of Heaven, do they still dare to disobey me?"

However, Xie Yan still shook his head, the emperor saw this, and the fire in his heart burned up: "Xie Yan, do you despise my daughter?"

"I don't dare!" A trace of disgust flashed across Xie Yan's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure, and just replied firmly, "No matter what the status of the Pei family is, I will still not break my promise with them. The county lord, the county lord will be the only one in this life, and he will never take concubines!"

"Your Majesty, your status is low, and you are not worthy of a noble princess." Xie Yan said word by word, "Please also ask the emperor to choose another son-in-law for the princess!"

The emperor was very angry, he slapped the table heavily, but seeing Xie Yan's firm eyes, the anger in his heart suddenly dissipated.

"That's all, that's all." The emperor waved his hand, "This is the second time I've mentioned this matter to you, and since you've made up your mind, I won't bring it up again."

"I called you here this time for another reason." The emperor waved at the thank-you banquet, and looked at the thank-you banquet as kindly as if he was looking at his junior, "General Pei, he asked for leave. The position of commander of the imperial army will be handed over to you."

"I will find a suitable job for General Pei. This is all my arrangement. You don't have to worry about creating a gap with him."

The emperor's words seemed considerate, but they actually dug a hole for Xie Yan.

No one would want to see his future son-in-law take away his position while he was on leave, but the emperor still seemed to be thinking about Xie Yan.

"The Pei family is too high. If you marry Ning'er in the future, if you don't have any real power, you will definitely be made things difficult by Ning'er. I will give you the position of commander of the Imperial Army. From today onwards, you don't have to worry about being looked down upon by the Pei family. .”

Xie Yan's phoenix eyes lowered, covering the flash of disdain.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When leaving the palace, the emperor specially asked Li Dehai to send a thank-you banquet back to the mansion in person, and read out the imperial edict by the way.

Li Dehai secretly sweated in his heart: "The servant just sent a lot of things from the emperor to the Pei family, and also conveyed the emperor's intention to let everyone in the Pei family cultivate at home, and now I will go to your place to announce the decree. yes……"

The Pei family was treated coldly by the emperor, but the humble son-in-law was valued by the emperor, and it was still on the same day. No matter how you look at it, it seems like deliberately humiliating the Pei family!

Xie Yan's brows and eyes were as cold as snow in the clouds: "It's okay, they won't care about this."

Having said that, Li Dehai's heart is still ups and downs, and he is very anxious: "The slave is just worried that you will be made things difficult by the Pei family. The eldest princess has always been domineering, so how could she allow someone to trample on her face like this?" ?”

"Eunuch Li has been with the emperor for a long time, and he has acquired his evil thoughts." Xie Yan sarcastically said, "Not everyone in this world is as suspicious as the emperor, and there is no room for others to be wrong!"

Hearing this, Li Dehai smiled sarcastically.

He is from Xie Yan's family, not from Pei's family. Naturally, his starting point is to thank Yan, but seeing that Xie Yan didn't want to spend too much time on this matter, he shut up immediately without talking about it.

Li Dehai personally sent the thank-you banquet back home, which naturally attracted the attention of many people.

Especially after hearing that Xie Yan was appointed as the commander of the imperial army, everyone's eyes changed.

Who doesn't know that the commander of the imperial army is Pei Anlin's position. Now that Pei Anyang has just left, the emperor made a joke about asking the elders to keep filial piety for the younger generation, forcing everyone in the Pei family to resign at home, and when he turned his head, he took this position Teng was given to the future son-in-law of the Pei family.

Looking at it this way, the Pei family is probably about to fall.

Following this decree, there are rumors everywhere in Beijing, without exception, they are all about the Pei family not being favored, and the rise of the upstart Xie Yan.

Many people came to visit with gifts, but none of the thank-you banquets were seen.

……

"What should I do!" Chu Shiling was in a hurry, "I was always worried that you would abandon Lord Xie, but now that something like this has happened, Lord Xie will not abandon you, right? I heard that the emperor intends to send Le Yang to you. The princess betrothed to him!"

Seeing Chu Shiling dangling in front of his eyes, Gu Ning felt that his eyes were going to be blurred.

She waved her hand angrily: "What is there to worry about? Isn't he just a princess? Besides, even if he really abandons me, it's not a big deal."

Chu Shiling patted her face pitifully: "Ning'er, you have to take good care of your face. Now you can rely on only this pretty face. Don't worry, I haven't seen any in Beijing yet. Which noble girl is more beautiful than you!"

The more he listened to Chu Shiling, the more helpless Gu Ning became.

Seeing that Chu Shiling was chattering non-stop, there was a tendency to continue talking, Gu Ning rolled up the quilt, nestled inside and said in a muffled voice: "I'm going to rest, you should go."

Chu Shiling thought she was hit by the double blow of her mother's death and her fiancé's change of heart, so she stopped talking, just patted her on the head pityingly, and left.

Gu Ning lifted the quilt and panted heavily: "Chunyu, take me to the next door."

"Master, don't you really believe those rumors..."

"How is it possible." Gu Ning rolled his eyes, "I just have an important matter to ask for a thank you banquet!"

Seeing Gu Ning's serious face, Chunyu thought it was some great event, so she quickly took Gu Ning and sneaked over the wall.

The guards patrolling nearby just thought they were blind and couldn't see Gu Ning's actions over the wall.

Xie Mansion, as the gates were closed, those who wanted to please Xie Yan were shut out, and they didn't dare to offend Xie Yan, the evil spirit, so they left the gift and left in embarrassment.

Every time Xie Yan came back from the palace, he had to take a bath.

When Gu Ning came over the wall, he happened to bump into Xie Yan taking a bath.

She didn't know about this, and strode towards Xie Yan's bedroom with big strides.

In the palace, she consumed a lot of luck points for that edict, and with the successive exchanges in the mall, her luck points were only left at a pitiful 10.

When the luck value is critical, she must meet Xie Yan to replenish the luck value, just in case!

Gu Ning rushed into the main courtyard, frightening Yue Rong and Yue Ming who were guarding the door.

"County Lord stay behind!"

"Master, you can't go in!"

The two rushed to Gu Ning at an unprecedented speed, and held her tightly.

Seeing this, Gu Ning narrowed his beautiful eyes slightly, and looked at the two meaningfully: "What? Did he hide someone in the house?"

"Of course not!" Yue Rong immediately replied, "It's just that it's inconvenient for the master to meet you at this time, the master is..."

Halfway through Yue Rong's words, Gu Ning nimbly passed between him and Yue Ming, and walked directly to the door.

"Bath..."

After saying this, the door has been pushed open by Gu Ning.

But Gu Ning stared at the strong body in the mist, and froze in place.

The next moment, Gu Ning, who was standing at the door, was wrapped around his body by the curtain, and fell lightly into Xie Yan's arms, and the door was also closed by Xie Yan with internal force.

The strong masculine breath filling her nose made Gu Ning move uncomfortably, but as soon as she moved, she noticed something strange about Xie Yan's body, and she immediately froze in Xie Yan's arms.

And Xie Yan also found something wrong.

Gu Ning, who was sitting obediently in his arms, was lowering her head, but a line of bright red words appeared on her head.

The two bright red numbers "Twenty" were hanging on Gu Ning's head. He stared at the numbers that appeared out of nowhere, and the characters changed again after a while.

"21".

Xie Yan's eyes suddenly became deep, he lowered his head, and bumped into Gu Ning's clear eyes.
