Chapter 196 It's more likely that we will be sisters
The three of them walked into the palace together, and Ning Sangsang thought about asking the emperor to dismiss her as they walked.
"Ning girl, becoming a colleague with you makes me feel refreshed every day when I go to court." Duke Gu said with a smile, his eyes full of love for Ning Sangsang.
Ning Sangsang knew that he felt refreshed because he could hear her thoughts, so she curled her lips and said nothing.
At this time, Duke Gu said again: "Ning girl, I like you very much, why don't you be the wife of my third son?"
Before Ning Sangsang could react, Ning Xiaotian said, "Duke Gu, Sangsang is still young, there is no rush for marriage!"
After Ning Xiaotian said this, Duke Gu did not give up. He smiled and said to Ning Xiaotian, "Duke Ning, my third son is also a handsome man, and he is not unfaithful. Look at him, he is so old, but he still has no woman by his side. If Ning girl marries him, he will be devoted to Ning girl in the future and will never mess around outside. He..."
"Old Gu, stop, stop!" Ning Sangsang couldn't bear to listen anymore and interrupted Duke Gu, saying to him seriously, "Old Gu, this is the way to the court, not the place for you to promote your son."
After hearing what Ning Sangsang said, Duke Gu said with a smile, "Ning girl, why don't you consider my third child? If you marry into our Duke Huguo Mansion, I promise to treat you like my own daughter, stand on your side in everything, and never let you suffer any grievances."
Ning Xiaotian saw that Duke Gu was actually trying to kidnap his precious daughter to be his daughter-in-law in front of him. He frowned and was about to say something when his daughter's voice rang out:
"Old Gu, please stop talking! It is absolutely impossible for me and your son to be together. I don't like men who are prettier than me. Your son is too beautiful. It is more likely that he and I will be sisters."
After hearing this, Duke Gu was not angry at all. Instead, he laughed even louder. "Haha, I like your straightforward personality, little girl Ning. Since you don't like my son, I won't force you. If we can't be husband and wife, then we can be siblings."
Ning Sangsang: "... Lao Gu, what do you mean?"
Duke Gu smiled and replied, "Ning girl, I want to take you in as my goddaughter, what do you think?"
This was the first time he liked a little girl so much.
"I object, Lao Gu. We are colleagues now. If you take me as your goddaughter, it will mess up the generations."
When Duke Gu heard what Ning Sangsang said, his eyes rolled and he immediately had an idea. He said cheerfully, "Ning girl, it's a good thing for colleagues to become sworn brothers. Think about it, if you become my goddaughter, you will have me as your backer in the court in the future. If anyone dares to bully you, I will scold him. Besides, there's nothing wrong with the generations. You and your father are both colleagues and father and daughter."
"You have to ask my father about this. What I say doesn't count." Ning Sangsang didn't want to be Duke Gu's goddaughter, so she threw the question directly to her father.
Duke Gu looked at Ning Xiaotian, but before he could say anything, he heard him reject the offer directly: "I don't agree. It's enough for Sangsang to have me as her father!"
Duke Gu has always been very clingy to his daughter. If he were to become her godfather, he would be like a dog-skin plaster that could not be gotten rid of.
Duke Gu was unwilling to give in, and said to Ning Xiaotian: "Duke Ning, don't be so anxious to answer, think about it carefully."
"Don't think about it. Sangsang doesn't need a godfather."
Duke Gu: “…”
Ning Xiaotian treated his daughter like a treasure, and getting him to agree to be his daughter's godfather was harder than climbing to the sky.
Duke Gu still did not give up and said to Ning Xiaotian: "Duke Ning, let's talk about this later."
Even if dealing with Ning Xiaotian is harder than climbing to the sky, he must take him down!
"Hurry up, hurry up, if you dawdle any longer you will be late and my wages will be deducted!" Ning Sangsang walked quickly towards the palace.
Ning Xiaotian and Duke Gu smiled helplessly and quickly quickened their pace.
……
In the Golden Palace, all the ministers were present and were chatting in groups of three or five.
"Why haven't we seen Duke Ning and his daughter yet? Did they ask for leave?" A minister muttered in a low voice. The ministers beside him couldn't help but frowned when they heard it: "Don't do that. If Miss Ning San doesn't come, it will be too boring to attend the court."
"Yeah, I really want to hear gossip, but if Miss Ning San doesn't come, I won't be able to hear it today."
"I used to look forward to Duke Gu coming to court, and now I look forward to Miss Ning coming to court. Today, neither of them came. This court meeting is really boring."
As they were talking, they saw Ning Sangsang running in hurriedly, with Ning Xiaotian and Duke Gu following closely behind her.
The ministers who were talking about her immediately shut up, their faces lit up with joy, and they looked at her with happiness.
Now that Third Miss Ning is here, today’s court meeting will be interesting. I wonder what big news she will bring today.
"Good morning, everyone!" Ning Sangsang smiled and waved to the ministers who were staring at her.
The ministers smiled friendly in return.
Ning Sangsang walked to her seat and stood still.
Ning Xiaotian and Duke Gu also walked to their positions and stood still.
They stood still for a while before a eunuch shouted that the emperor had arrived. The ministers all quieted down and the hall suddenly fell silent.
