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

After a month of long journey, the army finally arrived in Qinzhou.

Outside Qinzhou City, both sides of the official road were already filled with the people of Qinzhou, staring at the scorching sun and looking forward eagerly.

They got the news that in the next few days, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would return to the imperial court!And the first stop is Qinzhou!

At this moment, under the scorching sun, a tall flag appeared in everyone's sight.

"He's back! His Royal Highness is back!"

"The army is back!"

Everyone started talking excitedly, and everyone stared eagerly at the official road ahead.

Sure enough, after the flag appeared, Xie Yan's figure riding a tall horse also appeared in everyone's sight, and the most surprising thing was the person walking side by side with Xie Yan - that was a very beautiful man The beauty of this woman is so beautiful that not even the scorching sun can cover her.

"That's Princess Changning!"

"The princess also goes to fight?"

"Don't look down on our Princess Changning! If the Princess hadn't been resourceful, His Highness the Crown Prince might not be able to sit in his current position!"

Some people who knew something about the turmoil in the capital immediately began to murmur.

Gu Ning's hearing was not good, but her system was very good. From time to time, compliments from people nearby reached Gu Ning's ears. Gu Ning's beautiful peach blossom eyes shone even more brightly in the sunlight.

Seeing her like this, Xie Yan smiled fondly and gently held her hand.

"Ning'er, everything I have is yours." Xie Yan said softly.

Before Gu Ning could speak, Lu Yu, who was one step behind the two of them, shouted: "This world belongs to the people of the world!"

"Water can carry a boat but it can also capsize it!" Lu Yu warned, "Your Highness, please don't lose your sense of proportion!"

Hearing this, Gu Ning rolled her eyes at him, but she just avoided the eyes of the people. Only Lu Yu and Xie Yan saw it.

Seeing this, Xie Yan smiled very fondly, but Lu Yu rolled her eyes at Gu Ning, and immediately realized Gu Ning's hostility towards him. He said angrily: "Don't you still want to be one of those demon queens?"

"Of course I'm not the Demon Queen." Gu Ning said with a smile, "I just want to ask Mr. Lu if he has any sweethearts?"

Lu Yu listened to these irresponsible words and said angrily: "A man who serves the country and the people, how can he be trapped by the personal affairs of his children?"

Gu Ning smiled: "I'm afraid it's not that you don't want to, but that you can't, right?"

"With that look in your eyes, I will be alone for the rest of my life!" Gu Ning sneered, "His Highness just said a few words to make me happy, but you can't even hear the joke, and you have to teach me on the spot. Fan."

"Fortunately, His Highness has a good temper and won't argue with you, otherwise your head would fall off your neck."

Gu Ning had a sharp tongue, but Lu Yu was no match for her. She was so angry that her face turned red and she couldn't think of a way to refute.

Seeing the two arguing, Xie Yan sighed in his heart.

It seems that this road is very lively.

As the army marched eastward, every time it passed a city, it was bound to receive a warm welcome, and this grand occasion was even more exaggerated when it arrived in the capital.

Before reaching the city gate, Gu Ning saw the people crowding on the roadside when he was still two miles away from the city gate.

The eager light of these people fell on Gu Ning, and their eyes were full of excitement.

For so many years, whenever they heard the news of the Huns' invasion, even if they were at the feet of the emperor, they couldn't help but feel frightened - the imperial army was really useless!What if the Huns really attack?The Xiongnu are a group of barbarians with no restrictions on etiquette and law. If these people fall into the hands of the Xiongnu, they may be worse than dead!

It happened that at this moment, Xie Yan appeared.

The Chu State's black cavalry was invincible, completely washing away the humiliation of being suppressed and beaten by the Huns for the past 20 years, and even made the Huns become a vassal state again!

Whenever I think of this, even a weak scholar will feel filled with pride!

"His Royal Highness and the Princess are back!"

"His Royal Highness and the princess are at the front! They look so handsome!"

Everywhere he passed, there were enthusiastic cheers from the people.

Hearing these words, the smile on Gu Ning's lips couldn't help but rise.

But the ministers standing by the city wall began to murmur.

"How can Princess Changning allow a woman to walk side by side with His Highness? What does it look like?"

The person who spoke was Shu Hong, the new Minister of Rites.

Shu Hong is the most rigid person. Whether he treats himself or his family, he strictly follows the etiquette and laws, especially respecting the three obedience and four virtues of women!

Seeing Gu Ning and Xie Yan walking side by side, he was so angry that his beard stood up.

"It is against etiquette!" Shu Hong scolded, "Your Highness is fascinated by beauty! He actually let a woman..."

Before Shu Hong could finish his words, he was suddenly poked in the waist by his colleague.

He glared at his companion impatiently: "What? Can't you still say it? This is against etiquette and law! Our ancestors are watching from heaven!"

"Then I will send you to heaven to question the late emperor and Taizong?" A cool voice rang in his ears.

He snorted coldly and said, "You..."

But as soon as the words came to his lips, he realized something was wrong. He quickly looked up and saw Pei Anlin and Old General Pei, whose faces were as black as the bottom of a pot!

Behind the two of them, there was the eldest princess who was staring at him with evil eyes.

Immediately afterwards, he was patted on the shoulder. When he turned his head, he saw the two brothers Pei Chongfang pressing his shoulders.

Pei Anlin saw that he was stunned and didn't reply, so he sneered again and said: "Master Shu, I will send you to heaven to ask the late emperor and Taizong!"

Shu Hong was stared at by the Pei family, and bursts of cold sweat broke out from his back. At this time, how could he dare to say another word?

"I……"

Just as Shu Hong was trying to find an excuse to explain, Pei Anlin had already sneered and said, "Our Ning'er is naturally qualified to walk side by side with His Highness!"

"I wonder if you all still remember? It was Ning'er who found out the imperial seal and the late emperor's edict!"

"The deposed prince and the deposed crown concubine were trying to cause trouble in the capital, but Ning'er was the one who stopped them!"

"And this time, Ning'er was the first to notice the Lei family's rebellion, and this saved a crisis!"

"If it were you, would you be as capable as Ning'er?"

Pei Anlin didn't say this to Shu Hong alone. He had sharp eyes and scanned everyone around him.

People like Shu Hong who were dissatisfied with Gu Ning had already lowered their heads.

In fact, they all know Gu Ning's contribution, but they just don't want to admit it, and they don't want to see Gu Ning and Xie Yan side by side!

Seeing them all lowering their heads, Pei Anlin couldn't help but sneer: "Besides, what if you don't have these credits?"

"Your Highness is willing, but you still want to rush over and accuse His Highness, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the censors who were muttering secretly in their hearts also lowered their heads.

They really couldn't control what Xie Yan wanted to do.

What's more, Xie Yan is tough. Once Xie Yan is determined to do something, they can't stop him at all. If he says some malicious slander, he is afraid that he will end up like those colleagues who had their tongues pulled out.

Thinking of this, the originally lively ministers quickly became quiet.

Everyone in the Pei family is here, and the eldest princess has brought three thousand elite soldiers to the side. If they say something unpleasant again, I am afraid that the people in the Pei family will fight against them.

According to the degree of importance that the Pei family received from Xie Yan, after they were beaten, they had almost no way to complain.

Master Huang stood aside, watching the ministers who were secretly making small moves in silence. He smiled and said to Master Xu: "It seems that the reputation of the Pei family has spread throughout the country."

Just a few days ago, a minister who was drinking in the Flower House became unconscious after being drunk and made some slanderous remarks about Gu Ning. That day happened to be when Pei Anlin returned with his troops.

After hearing about this, Pei Anlin, General Pei and his two sons rushed to the minister's house and beat him severely.

To this day, that man still can’t get out of bed!

The news was sent to Xie Yan, who never mentioned the matter. Everyone knew that Xie Yan must not want to punish Pei Anlin. The minister was beaten to bedridden, so he could only kill himself. Accept that you are unlucky.

Gu Ning and Xie Yan arrived at the city gate, and the ministers knelt down towards them.

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his return to the court!"

"We sincerely welcome Princess Changning back to the court!"

Everyone could see Xie Yan's preference for Gu Ning. At this time, there was nothing wrong with mentioning Gu Ning to please Xie Yan.

After all, even if he gets interested, looking at Gu Ning's face, this love will not disappear too soon.

After everyone saluted, Xie Yan said in a deep voice: "Everyone, get up."

He rode his horse slowly towards the direction of the imperial city. Gu Ning beside him had already abandoned him and was running towards the eldest princess.

Seeing Gu Ning's excited back, Xie Yan sighed inwardly. After all, Gu Ning was not left behind.

He went to the Tai Chi Hall with several ministers, and Gu Ning was already sitting in the hall of the Pei family.

Gu Ning snuggled next to the eldest princess, her voice as sweet as honey: "Grandma, I miss you so much!"

General Pei on the side coughed: "What? Don't you miss your grandfather?"

When Gu Ning heard this, she immediately replied sweetly: "Of course I did!"

"I miss both you and grandma!"

The eldest princess saw that Gu Ning's chin was getting sharper, and her eyes were full of pity: "I have only been out for three months, and my face has lost a lot of weight."

"You shouldn't have gone to a dangerous and poor place like the Xiongnu." The eldest princess said, muttering in a low voice.

It was rare for Gu Ning to see her like this, so she suppressed her smile and said, "Grandma, don't worry, I eat well and sleep soundly every day!"

"You think I've lost weight, and I think I've gained weight!" Gu Ning held her face in her hands and said with longing, "We often hunt on the grassland and often eat mutton. The mutton on the grassland is much more delicate in texture than those of goats. The mutton is much more delicious!”

Hearing this, the eldest princess had a smile that couldn't be concealed on her face. She scratched Gu Ning's nose and said angrily: "Little slippery man!"

After that, she sighed: "I know you don't want me to worry, but you really need to make up for it after you come back."

"Otherwise, a month later, your wedding dress will be empty."

Before Gu Ning could recover, she heard the word "wedding dress" and was stunned.

"Wedding dress?"

Seeing the confusion on her face, the eldest princess knew that Xie Yan had not told Gu Ning about this.

So she tucked Gu Ning's hair behind her ears and whispered, "One month before you returned to Beijing, I received a letter from His Highness."

"His Highness said that before the new year, he wants to finalize your marriage."

"It just so happens that those old guys from the Taishi Bureau have calculated the dates and the ninth day of November is a good day."

"On that day, the enthronement ceremony and the conferment ceremony were held together."

After Gu Ning heard these words, he froze on the spot.

"But……"

"How can there be so many buts?"

The eldest princess heard her hesitation and said angrily, "Your marriage to His Highness should have been arranged long ago!"

"It's better to hold the enthronement ceremony and the empress conferment ceremony at the same time." The eldest princess's eyes were full of love. "At that time, you can stand in the Tai Chi Hall with His Highness and accept the worship of all officials."

Gu Ning was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses.

Seeing the joyful smile in the eyes of the eldest princess, she swallowed, but she did not dare to say her true thoughts.

If she said these embarrassing words at this time, the eldest princess would definitely break her legs.

Thinking of this, Gu Ning shut her mouth tightly.

The eldest princess also asked: "What do you think of this day? If you don't like it, there is still the second day of November or the fifteenth day of October."
