Chapter 283: Can my sister-in-law lend me a helping hand?
That night.
The wind was cold and the full moon was hanging high in the sky, surrounded by numerous stars, as if protecting it.
In the backyard of the Eastern Palace, outside the Crown Princess's bedroom.
The prince had been waiting here since evening after lunch.
Although he didn't know why Ling Feiyan had to go to Prince Chu's Mansion at night, it was Ling Feiyan's request and he could only agree.
However, when the prince thought of Chu Ning's face, he felt a little worried.
Looking at the door of the Crown Princess's bedroom, the Crown Prince frowned and reached out to push the door open.
But after thinking about it, he finally put his hand down.
Now is not the time to offend Ling Feiyan.
Fortunately, the prince didn't have to wait long. The door opened and Ling Feiyan slowly walked out.
She was wearing a purple palace dress with a sable cloak on the outside. She had light makeup on her delicate face and her hair was tied up in a high peony bun, making her look particularly noble.
Such an outfit, coupled with Ling Feiyan's noble temperament, astonished the prince for a moment, leaving him stunned on the spot.
The prince couldn't remember when he hadn't seen Ling Feiyan dress up deliberately.
But when he thought of this, the prince's face suddenly turned ugly.
Ling Feiyan deliberately dresses up for Chu Ning to see a makeup that I usually don’t see?
what is this!
A flame of jealousy burned fiercely in the prince's heart.
Could this be the reason why Ling Feiyan had to go to Prince Chu's Mansion at night?
Does she want something to happen between her and Chu Ning?
The prince became more and more angry the more he thought about it. He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and pretended to be calm and said:
"You're just going to the Prince Chu's Mansion, why bother dressing up so much?"
Ling Feiyan didn't even look at the prince, she walked past him and said lightly, "I am pleased."
The prince's face changed drastically, and he was about to scold her, but Ling Feiyan said, "If the prince doesn't want me to go to the Prince Chu's Mansion, I will turn around now."
"you……"
The prince clenched his hands tightly in anger, a cruel look appeared on his face, and he suddenly roared: "Come here, escort the Crown Princess to the Chu Palace!"
Let’s talk. The prince turned away in anger.
Originally, the prince wanted to follow Ling Feiyan to the Prince Chu's Mansion and wait for news outside the Prince Chu's Mansion.
Now, seeing Ling Feiyan like this, the prince was completely defeated.
Ling Feiyan showed a mocking sneer on her lips, and looked down on the prince even more in her heart.
Under the escort of a group of East Palace guards, Ling Feiyan left the palace and headed towards the Prince Chu's Palace.
At this time, Chu Ning, after dinner, was practicing calligraphy and painting with Shen Wanying in the house.
As the most talented woman in Da Chu, writing is Shen Wanying's daily routine. However, Chu Ning's calligraphy looks like a ghost's scribbles, which makes Shen Wanying determined to make him practice hard.
Looking at the smears of black ink on the white paper, Shen Wanying couldn't help but shake her head helplessly.
"Your handwriting won't improve unless you practice for a few years."
Chu Ning grinned and said nonchalantly, "Who cares? I don't write letters anyway. If I need to write a letter in the future, you, Wanying, will write it for me!"
Shen Wanying smiled bitterly. Chu Ning would not miss any opportunity to take advantage.
At this moment, Zhao Yu's voice appeared outside the house: "Your Highness, the Crown Princess is here to visit, and she said she would only meet you alone."
Chu Ning was stunned: "What is she doing here?"
Shen Wanying took a deep look at Chu Ning and said calmly, "I'm afraid she is here to renew her past relationship with you?"
Chu Ning laughed awkwardly, touched his nose, and said embarrassedly: "Don't make a fuss, nothing happened between the prince and her."
After a pause, Chu Ning's eyes turned and he said, "However, she is the Crown Princess after all. It is not right for me to refuse to receive her since she is visiting in person. I will go and see what she wants to do."
After saying that, Chu Ning dropped his brush and rushed out of the house like the wind.
Meeting the Crown Princess is a trivial matter; not practicing calligraphy is the real matter.
In the living room.
Ling Feiyan sat in the main seat, holding a cup of hot tea in her hand, sipping it carefully.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew from outside the hall, and along with it came a figure and Chu Ning's laughter:
"I wonder what brought my sister-in-law to this palace?"
Chu Ning came to the living room and bowed to Ling Feiyan.
After saying that, Chu Ning looked up at Ling Feiyan.
Ling Feiyan can dress up tonight, and her aloof and domineering temperament becomes more obvious.
Although Shen Wanying is more beautiful than Ling Feiyan, Ling Feiyan has the domineering temperament that Shen Wanying does not have.
After being used to Shen Wanying's gentle and bookish air, suddenly seeing Ling Feiyan's royal sister temperament is also very pleasing to the eye.
Ling Feiyan noticed that Chu Ning's eyes were on her. She looked at Chu Ning expressionlessly and said calmly:
"The Crown Prince asked me to find out if you have any intention of taking over the throne."
These words made Chu Ning stunned.
I’ve seen it be direct, but I’ve never seen it be this direct.
Chu Ning came back to his senses and his face changed, and he quickly closed the living room door.
"Sister-in-law, don't say that!"
Chu Ning said with a serious face: "I am the youngest prince of my father, how could I possibly have the intention to seize the throne?"
"is it?"
Ling Feiyan played with the teacup in her hand and said calmly, "But even the Tang Dynasty's imperial master said that you have the fate of an emperor. Even if you don't want to seize the throne, others will surely think you want to seize the throne."
Chu Ning's mouth twitched, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "If so, I will report to my father tomorrow and demote myself to Bingzhou."
But Ling Feiyan suddenly put down the teacup in her hand and stared at Chu Ning seriously: "It's too late for you to go to Bingzhou now!
In Kyoto, the Crown Prince and other princes can still keep an eye on you. If you are allowed to go to Bingzhou, they will not feel at ease."
Chu Ning fell silent.
Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that this is indeed my current predicament.
This old Taoist Yuan Tian is playing a shady trick!
However, Ling Feiyan talked a little too much tonight.
Chu Ning's eyes turned, and he suddenly smiled and said, "It's rare that my sister-in-law cares about me so much. Could it be that my sister-in-law can lend me a hand?"
Ling Feiyan sneered.
Can you lend a helping hand?
When you bullied me, why didn't you think that you would end up like this?
I wish you were besieged by the Crown Prince and other princes!
"King Chu, you are joking. As the Crown Princess, I can't even defend you, let alone help you."
Ling Feiyan said coldly: "I still remember what you did to me back then!"
Chu Ning raised his eyebrows.
This Crown Princess is quite vindictive.
However, since you are here tonight, I cannot let you go back safely. No matter what, I have to make you say a few good words in front of the prince.
Otherwise, given the Crown Prince's character, he would definitely suspect that I am trying to seize the throne.
But how can I convince Ling Feiyan to speak for me?
Judging from Ling Feiyan's attitude, she is obviously angry with me.
You probably won't be able to convince her by using soft tactics.
It seems that we have no choice but to resort to tough measures!
Chu Ning made up his mind, and a hint of amusement appeared on his face: "It turns out that my sister-in-law misses my hands!"
As he spoke, Chu Ning raised his hands and walked towards Ling Feiyan.
Ling Feiyan suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart and frowned, "What are you going to do?"
