Seeing that the tip of the scissors was about to pierce Xingnan's skin, Xiao Ningzi screamed in fear.

"Yes, yes, I am willing to marry you."

This sentence made Xingnan stunned for a moment. She looked at Xiao Ningzi with a pursed mouth and asked cautiously,

"Brother Ning, are you serious? Are you really willing to marry me?"

Seeing that her mood had calmed down a bit, Xiao Ningzi took a few steps forward and looked at her tenderly.

"Xingnan, listen to Brother Ning and put down the scissors. They are very dangerous. What if you accidentally hurt yourself? Be obedient..."

Brother Ning spoke to her so gently that Xingnan's tears rolled down her cheeks and her hands began to soften.

"Xingnan, if you hurt yourself, Brother Ning will be sad. Be obedient and give me the scissors..."

Xiao Ningzi persuaded her softly and took the opportunity to step forward and take the scissors from her hand.

Just as he was relieved and about to turn around to put down the scissors, Xingnan suddenly hugged him from behind.

"Brother Ning, is what you just said true? You wouldn't lie to me, right? You said you really like me, right?"

Xiao Ningzi's heart froze at this moment. He couldn't bear to lie to her, nor could he bear to lie to himself. He turned around, held her in his arms, and comforted her softly as if comforting a child:

"No matter what, don't do anything to hurt yourself again."

Xingnan raised her head and looked at him with tears in her eyes.

"You just said you would marry me, that you were willing to marry me, is that true?"

Xiao Ningzi bit her lips tightly, at a loss.

Xingnan suddenly clenched his teeth, raised his hand, and used all his strength to pinch his waist hard. Xiao Ningzi immediately screamed "Ah", and the scissors in his hand fell to the ground at this moment.

The people outside heard his screams and the sound of scissors falling to the ground, thinking something had happened, and rushed to the door. Dagi was the first to rush into the house.

When he saw the two people hugging each other safely, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing someone coming in, Xiao Ningzi hurriedly pushed Xingnan away, then stood there awkwardly with a flushed face.

When Leng Yu came in, he saw that Xingnan's mood had calmed down a lot, and he felt a lot more relieved.

"Your Majesty, Brother Ning has just agreed to marry me. Coincidentally, my brother Daji and the eldest and youngest sisters-in-law are here. Let's finalize this matter today. Please issue the imperial edict for my brother tomorrow."

Everyone was focused and calm at this moment, no one dared to refute her, but they also felt that her action was too impulsive and too hasty.

Xiao Ningzi frowned and looked at Leng Yu with pleading eyes. Although he knew that the emperor would not reject Xingnan immediately for him, he still didn't want the emperor to agree to it readily.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Xingnan looked at Xiao Ningzi anxiously.

"Brother Ning, please tell me quickly, say you are willing to marry me, please ask the emperor to agree, please ask the emperor quickly."

Xiao Ningzi turned to look at her and whispered:

"Marriage is a serious matter, not a joke. Don't rush it, take your time, okay?"

"No, I don't want you to come and persuade me because you're afraid I'll hang myself. I want you to come and persuade me because you're worried about me and because you like me. Brother Ning, I really like you. For you, I can stay here instead of returning to Nanping Kingdom, and I'll do anything you ask me to do."

Although Xingnan's behavior was a bit extreme, her feelings for Xiao Ningzi suddenly touched Leng Yu.

The most important thing is that even if Xiao Ningzi is a little hesitant at this time, he cannot refute Princess Xingnan's opinion. Otherwise, if something really happens to her, he really doesn't know how to explain to the emperor of Nanping.

After pondering for a while, he looked at Xiao Ningzi and said seriously:

"Little Ningzi, from now on, I acknowledge you as my sworn brother, bestow upon you the title of Prince Ning, and grant you a princely residence. Regarding your marriage to Princess Xingnan, I will send a marriage edict to the Emperor of Nanping tomorrow. Once there is a response, I, as the Prince, will hold a wedding ceremony for you two."

After he finished speaking, everyone present was stunned. Xiao Ningzi looked at him as if he hadn't reacted.

"Your Majesty, this... this... I am terrified..."

Xingnan suddenly became excited. She jumped off the bed and hugged Xiao Ningzi's neck, screaming excitedly.

"Brother Ning, did you hear that? You are now the prince of the Great Ning Kingdom. Your status is a perfect match with mine. You don't have to worry about being a small guard anymore. You can marry me..."

Yongping also showed a relieved smile on his face. No matter what, the emperor's appointment of Xiao Ningzi as Prince Ning elevated his status, and he and Xingnan were a good match. When she returned to Nanping Kingdom, she would have an explanation to His Majesty.

Daji frowned and looked at the scene in surprise. He felt that the matter was developing too fast. Xingnan was still trying to commit suicide just now, and the man surnamed Ning was just a second-rank guard. In the blink of an eye, the second-rank guard became a prince. This... really made him overwhelmed.

However, seeing Xingnan's excitement, he suddenly turned to look at Leng Yu, clasped his hands together, and bowed solemnly to him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

There was a hint of worry on Leng Yu's face.

He knew that Xiao Ningzi must be overwhelmed with emotions at this moment. Perhaps he didn't need the status of a prince, but with this status, he would have to marry Xingnan, which was not necessarily what he wanted...

It seems that he needs to comfort him.

"Princess Xingnan, you should rest early. Prince Ning and I have some matters to discuss."
