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

Chapter 667

The wedding dress, as hot as the sun, was embroidered with golden phoenixes.

The whole wedding dress is made of cloud brocade, and the golden phoenix on it is made of gold wires as thin as ox hair.

Gu Ning just lightly embroidered Jinfeng's eyes, and the wedding dress was completed.

Gu Ning sighed and stared at Feng Guan beside him with worried eyes.

The wedding dress was not troublesome and was basically made by the embroiderer. However, the phoenix crown had to be worn on her head. The phoenix crown weighed a full fifty kilograms!

Gu Ning could already feel its weight before she even put it on.

Just when Gu Ning was worried, Aunt Gui and the eldest princess couldn't help laughing.

"Other women want to wear this phoenix crown, but when it comes to you, the phoenix crown seems worthless." The eldest princess sighed, "I really don't know what to say to you."

Hearing this, Gu Ning frowned and said coquettishly to the eldest princess: "Grandma, don't you think this phoenix crown is too heavy?"

"Not to mention wearing it to the Tai Chi Hall, just wearing it on my head for a moment makes me feel like my head is going to break."

"Bah, bah, bah!" Aunt Gui said quickly, "Princess, your wedding is coming soon, you can't say these words."

The eldest princess also had a serious look on her face: "Ning'er, you should be more careful with your words."

Gu Ning nodded quickly, but she still couldn't hide her disgust when she looked at Feng Guan.

The eldest princess was helpless and sighed several times in her heart.

She is still a child at heart, so how can anyone trust her to enter the palace?

At this moment, Chunyu walked in with a complicated look on his face, holding a post in his hand.

The eldest princess narrowed her eyes when she saw the word "Xu" on the post.

"A post from the Xu family?"

"Yes." Chunyu lowered her head and whispered, "It is said that Xu Feiyao, the eldest daughter of the Xu family, invited the princess to a banquet at the Xu family."

"Xu family?" Upon hearing this, Gu Ning's beautiful peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly.

Although she was confined in the courtyard by the eldest princess, she was very clear about the news outside.

"Today His Highness just said that he would adjust the clan records and reduce the number of people who can become officials, and the eldest lady of the Xu family sent a message. This intention is very clear."

Gu Ning pinched her chin and said in a faint voice.

The eldest princess looked very ugly. She knocked on the table and said word by word: "You have to go to this banquet."

Hearing this, Gu Ning was stunned: "Grandma, aren't you unwilling to let me get involved in these government affairs?"

"I just asked you not to make your own decisions." The eldest princess said angrily, "But you must participate in these things."

"You want them to know that you are favored by His Highness not only because of your background in the Pei family." The eldest princess said word by word, "In addition to your family background, you also have abilities."

"The person who deserves your attention and favor is not Princess Changning, who is from the Pei family, but you, Gu Ning."

"do you understand?"

Gu Ning was still immersed in shock. After hearing what the eldest princess said, she could not answer.

The eldest princess added: "I know that you and His Highness have already had their anger. You must have the same idea on how to weaken the power of the family."

"But other people don't know that if you inform the Xu family, or even other aristocratic families, they will definitely abandon their prejudice against you and truly value you as a person."

"Because in their opinion, you can influence His Highness's decision."

"Ning'er, I don't want you to be like other women who live in the back house and have to revolve around your husband for the rest of your life."

"You are so smart, you shouldn't be buried."

When the eldest princess spoke, she gently rubbed Gu Ning's head.

After hearing this, Gu Ning's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Grandma! Don't worry!" She lifted the hem of her skirt, her face tense and serious, "I will definitely get this done!"

"I'm going to find Xie Yan to ventilate!"

After she said this, she picked up her skirt and ran out.

When the eldest princess saw her back, her face that was full of melancholy just now was suddenly filled with smiles.

"This child..." The eldest princess shook her head, "It is true that I went to communicate with His Highness, and it is also true that I want to see His Highness."

She was happy to see that Gu Ning and Xie Yan had a good relationship, but she was also worried.

The love between young couples is always the strongest, but can this love stand the test of time?

A trace of sadness flashed across the eyes of the eldest princess.

At this time, Aunt Gui took a step forward and whispered persuasion: "Princess, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. It is too early for you to worry about things that will happen in a few decades."

"Besides, the princess is so smart, she will definitely not end up like..."

The eldest princess knew Aunt Gui's unfulfilled intentions.

There was sadness in her eyes, but it quickly dissipated with the wind.

"You are right, I am too worried." The eldest princess nodded slightly, "Ning'er will never follow in her mother's footsteps."

After saying this, the eldest princess stood up and left.

On the other side, Gu Ning happily walked out of the door of Pei's house.

Even though she was only trapped in the house for two days, for Gu Ning, it was like a year in the true sense. She couldn't bear it, let alone two days, even a quarter of an hour.

Walking out of the door, Gu Ning smelled the breath of freedom.

The moment she left the Pei family, an informant sent the news to the palace.

Almost at the same time, Gu Ning's letter also came in.

There is only one simple line on it - See you at Zuixianglou.

Yue Rong watched helplessly as Xie Yan's frosty face melted away at this moment, and his handsome face was stained with dots of smiles.

Looking at the letter in Xie Yan's hand, he knew who sent it without even looking.

"Leave the palace." Xie Yan stood up quickly.

Yue Rong responded quickly and followed Xie Yan.

On the top floor of Zuixiang Building, Gu Ning propped up her chin and looked at the table full of delicacies but had no appetite.

When Xie Yan's figure appeared, her eyes lit up and she stood up excitedly.

"You're here!" The moment Gu Ning saw Xie Yan, he was like a butterfly flying into Xie Yan's arms.

Xie Yan hugged Gu Ning into his arms, and the people behind him had already left.

Gu Ning pulled Xie Yan to sit down and cleared his throat.

Just when Xie Yan thought that Gu Ning was going to say some beautiful words of love, he heard Gu Ning's excited words: "I'm going to the Xu family tomorrow."

Hearing this, the expectation in Xie Yan's eyes disappeared instantly, replaced by vigilance: "Xu family?"

"The purpose of the Xu family is impure." Xie Yan frowned, "I'm afraid it's because of what happened in court today."

Gu Ning nodded quickly: "I know."

"But I still want to go." Gu Ning smiled at Xie Yan and approached Xie Yan. "When the time comes, I will pretend to be powerful and make them think that I can speak in front of you."

"Furthermore, I come from a noble family, so they have instinctive trust in my identity. They must feel that I will not do anything that will harm the noble family."

"For the sake of the family's interests, I will definitely do my best to convince you so that you can minimize the impact of measures that weaken the family's power."

"In this way, I only need to pretend to discuss it with you, and then we can naturally launch the measures we prepared before."

Gu Ning's eyes were bright and she looked straight at Xie Yan.

Facing her expectant eyes, Xie Yan couldn't even say no.

However, what he was most worried about was Gu Ning's safety.

"What you imagined is the best situation." Xie Yan gently squeezed Gu Ning's palm and said helplessly, "If..."

"Don't you believe me?" Gu Ning raised his eyes, a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes filled with a sly smile, "I have made a fool of the Hun royal family before, let alone these aristocratic families."

"They are smart and cautious, but their biggest shortcoming is arrogance." Gu Ning said with a smile, "Their arrogance will never let them look down on a woman."

Xie Yan sighed softly in his heart, but Gu Ning grabbed his collar and asked fiercely: "Do you agree or not?"

"Okay." Xie Yan reluctantly agreed, "But you must also promise me that if you see that the situation is not good, you will leave immediately! You must not show off!"

"Don't worry." Gu Ning said in a long voice, "I am the most afraid of death! If the situation goes bad, I will run away immediately!"

Although Xie Yan agreed, he didn't fully believe Gu Ning's words.

He knew Gu Ning's courage, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe him as bold.

After a while, Xie Yan pondered for a while: "I will let Yue Rong follow you."

"But……"

"If you don't agree, then you don't have to attend the Xu family's banquet."

Xie Yan's attitude was rare and tough.

Seeing Xie Yan's slightly cold expression, Gu Ning snorted lightly, but still agreed: "Okay, okay! I promise you that's all!"

"Let's go over it again." Gu Ning changed the subject and stared at Xie Yan with bright eyes, "How have you considered my previous proposal?"

"Being an official is also a gift, and it really cannot be canceled altogether." Xie Yan gently squeezed Gu Ning's palm and said slowly, "Officials of fifth rank and above can let the children of the family participate in the examination."

"Those who are able to take the examination will be admitted." Xie Yan said, "As for the portals above the earl, they can have direct shelter to become officials, but only for those below the fifth rank."

"As for more details..." Xie Yan pondered for a while and said, "We still need to think about it carefully."

The disadvantages of the Chu State's patronage in officialdom are obvious. However, any aristocratic family can allow their children to enter the court in a dignified manner and serve as officials, with as few as five ranks and as many as three ranks.

Looking around, half of the court are made up of the playboys of the past.

These dandy boys are all uneducated and incompetent. They bully men and women outside and act as hands-off shopkeepers at home. They also use the national treasury to support such a large number of wastes who only eat and do not do anything.

As soon as the deposed emperor died, a lot of these wastes also died, but there were still a number that should not be underestimated.

Once the measure mentioned by Xie Yan is launched, it will definitely cause shock to the court.

Gu Ning rolled her eyes, leaned into Xie Yan's ear, and whispered: "In that case, leave this matter to me!"

Hearing this, Xie Yan frowned.

However, before he could speak, Gu Ning placed a gentle kiss on his lips.

Gu Ning smiled and said with crooked eyes: "Your Highness, you won't refuse me, right?"

She acted coquettishly towards Xie Yan, her purpose was obvious.

But Xie Yan really fell for her, and after listening to her words, no matter how worried he was, he could only accept it.

"Okay." Xie Yan said helplessly, "But you have to promise me that when you go to Xu's house tomorrow, you must bring the people I gave you."

Gu Ning sat on his lap and put her hands around his neck: "In that group of people... you shouldn't be there, right?"

"Government affairs are busy." Xie Yan shook his head, with a serious look on his face, "Yue Rong will bring people to protect you."

Gu Ning nodded clearly. In fact, she breathed a sigh of relief after Xie Yan said these words.

Xie Yan would naturally not miss the little thought in her eyes.

But even if he knew it, Xie Yan could only sigh helplessly in his heart.

Outside the door, Yue Rong and Chunyu looked at each other.

He scratched his head: "Is it dangerous to go to Xu's house tomorrow?"

Chunyu thought carefully for a while and shook her head: "It's not dangerous, at most it's just some twists and turns."

After all, the Xu family is the leading family after the Pei family. They will never be stupid enough to do something that will destroy everything, and Mr. Xu is indeed a decent person.

"Presumably, the princess is invited to come over and act as a lobbyist."

Hearing this, Yue Rong nodded: "That's it."

It's just... Yue Rong covered his chest and said thoughtfully: "I always feel like something is wrong."

His heart was beating too fast, which made him a little uneasy.

Seeing Yue Rong's appearance, Chunyu frowned: "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay...it's okay..." Yue Rong waved his hand and said secretly in his heart, hoping that everything was just his guess.
