All the cannon fodders I have flirted with are on top [Quick Wear]

His guess was correct. Ning Hongyuan indeed mentioned Chu Yang's name and asked His Majesty to grant a marriage between Ning Qingqing and Chu Yang.

Ning Zhi and Chu Yang made eye contact and both saw disgust in each other's eyes.

This old Deng really has no bottom line.

"Your Majesty, I don't want to." Chu Yang stood up and refused, even disdainfully looking at Ning Hongyuan.

People who abandon their wives and children and only care about their own selfish interests will one day be abandoned by others.

The emperor frowned and looked at the two of them, the smile on his face fading, "You are making things difficult for me."

Ning Hongyuan immediately said, "General Chu has seen my daughter a long time ago and has a crush on her, but now he refuses the marriage proposal in front of Your Majesty. Is he trying to deceive the Emperor?"

He spoke so confidently that Ning Zhi laughed out loud.

It's really shameless.

Chu Yang lifted his robe and knelt down, his slender shoulders straight, "Your Majesty, although I met Miss Ning at the city gate before, I never had any improper thoughts."

"Governor Tang and his wife were also present at the time. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can ask them."

The emperor looked sideways and asked, "Tangju, is this true?"

Tang Ju glanced at Chu Yang coldly and nodded, "It is indeed as General Chu said."

"Hmph! Ning Hongyuan, are you kidding me?"

Ning Hongyuan immediately raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, I dare not do that. This is what my daughter told me in person, and she even asked me to ask for grace to fulfill her infatuation."

Ning Qingqing didn't come to the celebration party today, otherwise she would have been scared to death after hearing this.

She just made it up to fool him, why did he take it seriously?

Ning Hongyuan knelt on the ground, cold sweat oozing from his back.

Why did Chu Yang say something different from Ning Qingqing? Didn’t Chu Yang fall in love with her at first sight and would marry no one else but her?

Tonight is a celebration banquet, which is designed to reward meritorious officials.

Chu Yang had made military achievements, so of course the emperor would stand on her side.

As for Ning Hongyuan, he can only be punished.

Chu Yang added more fuel to the fire, "Your Majesty, I was born a commoner, without any family to rely on. I thought I could make a living in this imperial city after fighting for my military exploits, but I didn't expect to be coerced like this on the day I returned to the capital."

Many of the soldiers who had made military achievements in Yanhua Palace had fought their way up from small rank soldiers. Upon hearing this, they couldn't help but worry about their future lives.

The capital city is not like a battlefield, swords and guns are invisible but the most deadly.

I'm afraid these people won't be able to stay long.

The emperor was a shrewd man among shrewd men. How could he not see the fear in the hearts of these soldiers?

He had just ascended the throne and had few confidants around him, and was even more wary of the military.

Those soldiers who come from aristocratic families have a strong foundation and are loyal to the emperor but not to him. It is not reassuring to train them without them.

The Ning family is in decline, so it is appropriate to target them for attack.

As he thought about this, he looked at Ning Hongyuan's eyes, which gradually turned cold. "Ning Hongyuan has committed a serious crime by deceiving the emperor in front of the palace..."

Before Ning Hongyuan could beg for mercy, Ning Zhi suddenly stood up and said anxiously, "Your Majesty, please calm down."

Ning Hongyuan's heart had sunk to the bottom, but he saw his daughter, whom he had always disliked, pleading for him.

The long-lost warmth welled up in my cold heart.

He thought he owed his daughter too much.

His Majesty frowned at being interrupted.

Ning Zhi continued, "I beg Your Majesty to forgive my father's death sentence and let him retire and return home."

His Majesty,"?"

He just wanted to give Ning Hongyuan a light punishment and warn him, and had no intention of sentencing him to death.

Ning Hongyuan, "?"

He is a veteran in the officialdom and can see that Your Majesty is just exaggerating and there must be a "but" behind it.

The reason why he felt disheartened was that he felt he had been deceived by Ning Qingqing and was punished in public by His Majesty. He would not be able to hold his head up in front of his colleagues in the future.

Tangju, who was standing aside, picked up the wine cup and covered the curve of her lips.

But his eyes never left Ning Zhi.

"Your Majesty, this is at most a misunderstanding, but my father has been ill recently. I'm afraid it's because of his old age. I beg Your Majesty to sympathize with my father and let him live out his days at home."

"I don't need rewards of gold or silver. My father always taught us at home that these are vulgar things. He doesn't care about them and doesn't want them."

One hammer after another broke Ning Hongyao's old waist.

This rebellious girl not only caused him to lose his official hat, but also forbad him to accept the gold and silver rewards from His Majesty.

What a filial son! Very filial!

His Majesty stroked his beard and said thoughtfully, "Lord Ning, you really have a good way of educating your daughter. In this case, I will allow you to retire in the capital. Since you don't want the gold and silver, forget it."

Ning Hongyuan had no words to express his grievances, and he kowtowed to express his gratitude, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty."

He returned to his seat with a pale face, receiving the sneering looks from people around him, feeling extremely embarrassed.

He knew that everyone was laughing at him for trying to steal a chicken but ended up losing the rice.

Ning Yuanling...so hateful!

Ning Zhi sat next to Tang Ju, met Ning Hongyuan's murderous eyes, and smiled slightly.

Losing his job was only the first step. Ning Hongyuan really hated him too early.

Because today is the Queen's birthday, after this episode, everyone began to present gifts, praying that the Emperor could see it in person, and preferably to please the Emperor.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was the first to step forward, but he did not offer any gifts. Instead, he kept everyone in suspense and asked the Emperor and the Empress to allow him to be the last to appear.

The Queen naturally agreed, and although the Emperor and the Crown Prince had some grudges, they didn't say anything.

Then the Ninth Prince and others came forward one by one.

Ning Zhi looked at the man behind the Ninth Prince and felt a little confused.

This person is not mentioned in the plot.

Although he is a man, he is like the frail Lin Daiyu. He becomes unsteady and coughs continuously after just standing for a while.

Tang Ju followed his gaze and said softly, "That is the twelfth prince. His mother is a palace maid and is not liked by His Majesty."

Ning Zhi said "oh" and continued to stare at him.

Tang Ju frowned slightly, "Why do you keep looking at him?"

Ning Zhi smelled something sour and said deliberately, "Look at him."

After presenting his gift, the Twelfth Prince turned around and met Ning Zhi's gaze. A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, but he hid it very well.

He nodded to Ning Zhi, smiled and returned to his seat.

Seeing the two of them interacting, Tang Ju felt a little impatient. She grabbed Ning Zhi's hand under the table and said, "You don't want your eyes anymore, right?"

Ning Zhi grabbed his hand and said proudly, "Of course I want to. How can I see the governor without eyes?"

"Master, don't you know that I feel uncomfortable when I can't see you for a day, no, even for a second."

He grabbed Tangju's fingers and rubbed them, speaking vaguely on purpose.

Sure enough, after he said this, Tangju's mind was completely shifted to him.

I couldn't help but wonder why this person beside me felt so uncomfortable when he couldn't see me.

Qin Xiusu, who was sitting diagonally opposite, saw the two of them being so close and curled his lips slightly.

How could such a beautiful woman fall into the hands of a bastard like Tangju?

Alas, where can he find another one as pretty as this?

His eyes wandered around the hall, and when he saw one place, his eyes suddenly paused.

Chu Yang felt someone was staring at her, so she looked over and saw a gentleman smiling at her.

She looked for a second and turned her head, refusing to take the signal.

Qin Xiusu looked at the uncovered lower half of her face, thoughtfully.

Why does he feel that Chu Yang and Tang Ju’s wife are somewhat similar?
