Although Zhao Xin didn't understand why there was a percentage setting for the plot reversal, it didn't stop him from being happy.

This is only 45% of the reward and I’ve given you 950 points. If you complete all of it, you won’t be given another 1,000 or 2,000 points, right?

Isn’t this a huge profit?!

Although it’s a bit strange why it’s so high, who would think it’s too much?

When I feel happy, I feel refreshed.

Cao Xiong had no idea why Zhao Xin was suddenly so happy, but it didn't matter. If the emperor was happy, he was happy too.

Just then, the Qinzheng Palace arrived and immediately shouted in a shrill voice, "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived~!"

Inside the Qinzheng Hall, the Nancang family was getting a little impatient waiting.

Nan Cang was fine, but Nan Wu Ju also looked as expressionless as a clay sculpture like his father.

Nan Wuyou and Nan Luoying, the uncle and nephew, do not have the patience of those two.

Especially Nan Luoying, who was kneeling there, didn't dare to move much. The two feet under her buttocks couldn't help rubbing against each other slightly.

In his heart, he secretly cursed the emperor to pieces.

When he heard that the emperor had arrived, he stood up immediately.

That agility, it seems like he doesn't feel any discomfort from sitting for a long time, otherwise he would be said to have good kung fu...

Nan Wu Ju glanced at her without saying anything, but just snorted and warned her not to act recklessly here.

Nan Cang seemed not to have seen it. He stood up meticulously and bowed to welcome the emperor.

The other two did not dare to be negligent and also stood up, bowed and waited.

Although Nan Luoying didn't agree, she had no choice but to follow suit.

"Your Majesty, Nan Cang..."

"Your Majesty, I, Nan Wu Ju (Nan Wu You, Nan Luo Ying), pay my respects to His Majesty!"

Zhao Xin turned around the white jade screen and walked to the top. He glanced around the hall and saw that the Nan Cang family was all there.

He also brought Nan Luoying with him.

He couldn't help but smile slightly and waved his hand, saying, "Old General, please don't be polite. Generals, Luo Ying, please don't be polite."

Then he pressed his hand again and said, "Please sit down. It will be more comfortable to talk when you sit down."

Naturally, everyone in the Nan family couldn't help but express their gratitude together, and then knelt down again as instructed.

In such an occasion, Zhao Xin naturally couldn't just sit on a chair.

In this era, even the emperor cannot sit on the dragon throne all the time.

It is possible during court sessions because all officials stand.

It doesn't matter when facing ordinary ministers.

However, when facing an important official like Nan Cang, one still has to be a little more careful.

After everyone had taken their seats again, Zhao Xin said, "Knowing that the Grand Marshal was about to leave for battle today, I should have led all the officials to the southern suburbs to see him off and his men off.

But now the situation is chaotic and reinforcements are needed as soon as possible, so I don’t want to engage in those empty tricks.

When the old general and his soldiers return victorious, I will personally lead all the officials to welcome them!"

Nan Cang quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for your kind words, Your Majesty. I will definitely live up to your trust."

"Of course. I have no qualms about the old general's military operations. And you can rest assured about the capital's food and wages, too!

From the day the old general leaves the capital, I will treat this matter as a top priority!"

Zhao Xin smiled.

Nan Cang expressed his gratitude again.

Then both sides said a few procedural words.

Nan Cang then briefly reported to Zhao Xin the general strategy of this military expedition.

Zhao Xin listened carefully but made no comment.

As he said, Zhao Xin was not too worried about this expedition.

After all, in the original plot, the Rebellion of the Seven Kings was quelled. Although the process is unclear, the result should not change much... right?

Moreover, in terms of military strategy, he is probably several Li Cunxiaos behind Nan Cang.

He naturally wouldn't do such a stupid thing as an amateur commanding an expert.

Generally speaking, the so-called "farewell" is over at this point.

It’s just a process!

However, when Zhao Xin saw that Nan Cang brought Nan Luoying with him this time, he knew that the real purpose of Nan Cang's trip was probably Nan Luoying.

As expected, after finishing his clichés, Nan Cang did not speak. Instead, Nan Wu Jue bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to thank you for tolerating my daughter Luo Ying's willful behavior."

Hearing him say this, Nan Luoying immediately became unhappy and pouted in dissatisfaction, obviously very dissatisfied with the word "nonsense".

Zhao Xin saw her little gesture and couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly, but smiled and said, "I have to disagree with General Nan's statement.

Although Nan Luoying is a woman, as a descendant of a military family, she is both civil and military, and is as capable as any man.

At least in my opinion, she is a very qualified commander of the guards!"

Nan Luoying was pouting at first, but she immediately smiled when she heard these words. The more she looked at Zhao Xin, the more she liked him. She even secretly gave Zhao Xin a thumbs up.

What that means is... He is worthy of being the emperor, he is indeed wise. That's right, who says women are inferior to men?

Zhao Xin pretended not to see it, secretly shaking his head and laughing.

"this……"

Nan Wu Ju couldn't help but frown. Although Zhao Xin's words were praising Nan Luoying, to him, they sounded like the words of a foolish ruler.

Although Zhao Xin has always been known as a tyrant, Nan Wu Ju has changed his mind about him due to his recent actions and his father's support for him.

The purpose of coming here today is to formally finalize the marriage between Nan Luoying and the emperor before they go to war.

Although this matter had been decided before, and even discussed in the court.

But the formal process was not carried out, which is the so-called process of accepting the bride's proposal, asking for the bride's name, accepting the bride's blessing, accepting the bride's betrothal gifts, announcing the date, and welcoming the bride.

The reason for this, of course, is that the Nan family is still observing.

But this time, Nan Cang decided to formally put the matter into process before going on the expedition.

Of course, the wedding will have to wait until they return from the battle, but this process must be carried out.

If it is not in the procedure, even if it is said in the court, it is not considered formal according to the etiquette of that era and can be cancelled at any time.

This would not have been a big deal, but now the emperor actually wants Nan Luoying to be his personal guard. If she doesn't have a formal status, who knows what kind of gossip will spread.

Furthermore, if it is not finalized, once they are not around, what will happen if the emperor and Nan Luoying execute someone first and report later?

We are all experienced people, and I guess everyone here understands except Nan Luoying.

Follow the process first, so that even if something like this really happens, you won’t be caught off guard.

At least she won't be rushed into the palace because there's not enough time to go through the formalities. Then will the Nan family still have any face left?

However, when he heard the emperor's words, Nan Wu Ju suddenly hesitated.

It would be fine if Zhao Xin was a tyrant, but if Nan Luoying also became a scoundrel concubine who brought disaster to the country, then...

Just as he was hesitating, Zhao Xin took the initiative to speak: "Actually, even if General Nan didn't mention it, I also have something to say."

Everyone in the Nan family was stunned and didn't know what Zhao Xin was going to say.

Zhao Xin smiled calmly and said, "Captain Nan, General Nan, although the marriage between me and Luo Ying has been finalized, I have been troubled by various matters and have not yet accepted the bride price or the betrothal gift..."
