Nine dragons fight for the throne, I don't want to sit on this throne

Chapter 174 The Beauty's Heart

Prince Chu's Mansion.

The original sign of Penglai County Prince's Palace has been replaced. The three large characters of Chu Prince's Palace have been replaced with gold-inlaid characters. The workmanship is extremely domineering, and gives people a sense of awe-inspiring inviolability when viewed from a distance.

Chu Ning came back with a team of guards and saw a group of people waiting at the gate of the mansion from afar on the street.

The leader was wearing a purple gown with three thousand strands of black hair draped behind him. His proud figure looked curvy against the tight silk.

With just one glance, Chu Ning focused all his attention on her.

The most talented woman in Da Chu - Shen Wanying came to greet him in person.

Chu Ning grinned and urged his horse to the gate of the mansion quickly. Before he dismounted, everyone shouted in unison:

"See Your Highness!"

Chu Ning laughed: "No need to be polite!"

As he said this, he dismounted from his horse and reached out to lift up Shen Wanying who was bowing.

When their hands touched, one's skin was as white as snow and it felt like falling into an ice cellar, while the other's was as passionate as fire and radiated heat.

As soon as they touched, both of them were shocked.

Chu Ning felt the softness of Shen Wanying's skin and said with a smile: "You are my fiancée, why should you be so polite."

Shen Wanying took a deep breath, a blush appeared on her face, and she said softly: "You have made great contributions, and I haven't married you yet, so the etiquette cannot be messed up."

Chu Ning laughed loudly: "Father has ordered us to get married on the Lantern Festival. You are now the mistress of this palace!"

After he finished speaking, he reached out and took Shen Wanying's hand. The people around them immediately made way for him, and the two of them walked into the mansion hand in hand.

Backyard, gazebo.

There are two cups of hot tea on the stone table, the fragrance of tea is refreshing.

Two people looking at each other, one is calm and the other is passionate.

Chu Ning looked at Shen Wanying, who had returned to her normal expression, and couldn't help but chuckle. He picked up the teacup and took a sip.

The tea flows down the throat, and a fragrance circulates in the throat, making people linger.

“Good tea!”

Chu Ning exclaimed, put down his teacup and said with a smile: "During this time when I was away, the palace was taken care of by you."

Shen Wanying said calmly: "This is just part of our agreement. I just did my part."

After a pause, she picked up the teapot and filled Chu Ning with tea, then asked calmly, "Your Majesty has also invited me to the celebration banquet tonight."

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes.

Why are we talking about the celebration party for no reason?

"You are my fiancée, so it's normal for my father to invite you to the celebration banquet." Chu Ning didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

But Shen Wanying shook her head and said, "Although we have decided to get married on New Year's Day, we haven't gotten married yet. It doesn't make sense to invite me over now."

After all, she is a girl and she did not participate in the battle on the front line. It is unreasonable for her to be invited to the celebration banquet for no reason.

Chu Ning, who originally didn't care much about it, raised his eyebrows and a solemn look flashed across his face when he saw Shen Wanying mentioning the matter again and again.

Shen Wanying is not an ordinary woman. To attract her attention, tonight’s celebration banquet must be extraordinary.

"In your opinion, there is no good banquet tonight?"

"Yes, I guess His Majesty wants to take this opportunity to take back the military power in your hands!"

Shen Wanying's words made Chu Ning's face serious.

If I were the emperor, I would take back the military power as soon as the person with heavy military command came back.

However, what does this have to do with the emperor asking Shen Wanying to participate in the celebration banquet?

Chu Ning frowned: "I have already expected that you would take back my military power, but what does this have to do with you?"

Shen Wanying sighed and shook her head, saying, "If I were just an ordinary person, His Majesty would naturally not let me attend the celebration banquet tonight, but unfortunately, I am a descendant of the previous dynasty!"

That's it!

The emperor asked Shen Wanying to attend the celebration banquet to remind himself: your future wife is a descendant of the previous dynasty, and it is impossible for you to have control of the military power!

I have to say that the emperor still has some means.

If I don't hand over my military power tonight, this marriage will most likely fail.

If you want to keep the military power, you have to give up the marriage.

If he wants to marry Shen Wanying, he must give up his military power.

This is a multiple-choice question given by the emperor.

Chu Ning reacted and a cold look appeared on his face.

He had made such great contributions to the State of Chu that he had to be investigated as soon as he returned, but now even the emperor wanted to take back his military power.

If I hadn't been prepared, this matter would have been difficult to handle.

"Don't worry, I will handle this matter properly!"

Chu Ning sneered: "I will not hand over the military power, and your wedding will go on as scheduled. You just need to dress up and attend tonight!"

A look of surprise appeared on Shen Wanying's delicate face.

Although she had thought of many possibilities, she did not expect Chu Ning to be so firm.

She sighed slightly and asked softly, "Have you thought about the consequences if you fall out with His Majesty because of this?"

Chu Ning held her soft and boneless hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will not fall out with my father, you don't have to think too much."

"But Your Majesty will never compromise on the issue of military power!" Shen Wanying was still worried.

She didn't want to make Chu Ning embarrassed because of herself.

For some reason, she often missed Chu Ning during the time he was fighting on the front line.

At first she thought she was only concerned about the battle situation, but as time went on she realized that what she was worried about was Chu Ning's safety.

It was not until then that she realized that she seemed to be attracted to Chu Ning, and Chu Ning's every move could stir her heartstrings.

She didn't want to embarrass Chu Ning at tonight's celebration banquet, so she made the matter clear.

Between herself and military power, she hopes Chu Ning will choose military power!

Because the man that Shen Wanying likes should be a man of integrity.

Even if she has to give up her marriage with Chu Ning, she will still help Chu Ning!

The princes in Kyoto City are fighting for power. If Chu Ning doesn't have military power in his hands, how can he survive?

She didn't want Chu Ning to become a victim of the fight among other princes!

Chu Ning felt Shen Wanying's concern for him, and couldn't help but stand up and walk to her side with a smile.

With a slight force of his right hand, Shen Wanying's body leaned over.

Shen Wanying, who originally wanted to refuse, felt Chu Ning's heartbeat and masculine scent. Her body trembled slightly and her face turned red. She actually liked this feeling and did not push Chu Ning away immediately.

Chu Ning did not push his hand any further, but just hugged her gently and said softly: "In fact, I have already made preparations in advance. It is impossible for my father to take back the military power from me."

Shen Wanying hesitated for a moment and whispered her concerns: "The other princes will not miss this opportunity."

Once the emperor brings up the issue of military power, the other princes will surely agree. Can Chu Ning really fight against so many people alone?

But Chu Ning smiled mysteriously: "I have a reason for them to give up this matter!"

Shen Wanying was stunned and looked up at Chu Ning, just in time to see that extremely confident face.

She couldn't help but feel curious. What reason did Chu Ning have for refusing to hand over his military power?
