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

Chapter 371 Living with You

Chu Ning looked at Feng Mulan who was blocking his way and a smile appeared on his face.

"It's been a long time since we last met, Miss Feng... No, I should say that Princess Feng is becoming more and more heroic now."

"Don't give me that. What about what you promised me?"

Feng Mulan rolled her eyes, not caring at all that the prince and others were still present.

As soon as she opened her mouth, everyone at the scene stopped talking.

Seeing this, Chu Ning smiled awkwardly and said, "If you have anything to say, let's go outside and talk."

Although Feng Mulan was carefree, she also knew that there were some things that could not be known to others. She snorted coldly and left first.

Chu Ning shook his head and followed.

The prince stared at the two people's departing backs with a grim expression.

Then he seemed to have thought of something, turned his head and looked at the second prince who was standing beside him and sneered: "Second brother, you are really amazing, you changed sides in the middle of a battle!"

The second prince Chu Ming felt guilty, but he still had a serious look on his face: "Brother Crown Prince, why do you say that? Since you have signed the military order, how can you regret it now?

If you break your promise like this, how can you gain a foothold in the court in the future? I am just following my heart."

After saying this, the Second Prince turned around and left without waiting for the Crown Prince to continue speaking.

If you stay any longer, you will definitely become the target of public criticism.

If you can't argue, can't you just escape?

The Crown Prince stared coldly at the back of the Second Prince and snorted, "He is a guy who is always causing trouble but not being able to do anything good!"

After saying that, the Crown Prince glanced at the Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince, then quickly left.

The situation is now out of control and Chu Ning can no longer be allowed to continue. Otherwise, Chu Ning will have the final say in the court in the future.

The Fourth Prince and the Eighth Prince then looked at each other and left at the same time.

At this time, Chu Ning and Feng Mulan had already arrived outside the palace, riding their horses side by side.

"You sent someone to give me these words just now, and I did everything you said. What do you think of my request?"

Feng Mulan didn't give Chu Ning any extra time and asked as soon as she left the palace.

Chu Ning touched his nose and said, "You want to move to my palace, I naturally have no objection, but you also know that Wanying is in charge of the affairs in the palace, so I want to ask her opinion on this matter."

Although he didn't know why Feng Mulan made such a request, Chu Ning didn't dare to agree easily.

After all, she is the daughter of the Vice Minister of War. If she rashly lives in the Prince of Chu's Palace, there will be a lot of gossip if it gets out.

But Feng Mulan didn't care about that at all. She raised her eyebrows and showed displeasure: "It's ok if it's ok, it's ok if it's not ok, you're so nagging, are you still a man?"

"I……"

"Alright, stop saying you and me. As long as you agree, Wanying will definitely not refuse."

Feng Mulan was full of impatience: "You usually do things very quickly, why are you so fussy about this little thing?"

Chu Ning smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, I promise you, but you must write a letter to Lord Feng in person to explain this matter clearly. Otherwise, if Lord Feng pursues the matter, I will not be able to bear the consequences."

After all, she is a virgin, and if she moves into the palace like this, she will definitely be criticized.

Especially for a traditional man like Feng Anguo, how could he feel at ease letting his daughter live in someone else's house?

What's more, Feng Anguo is the second prince's man. This matter is bound to make the second prince worried and thus intervene.

The summer harvest has just been completed and the work at the Ministry of Revenue is proceeding in an orderly manner. If the Second Prince is offended at this moment, who can guarantee that he will not embarrass the Ministry of Revenue?

Once something happens in the Ministry of Revenue, the imperial examination will be affected.

Therefore, the key to breaking the deadlock lies in Feng Anguo.

As long as Feng Anguo agrees, the Second Prince will have no objection and this matter will not be a big deal.

Seeing Chu Ning agree, Feng Mulan showed a rare smile on her face: "You are sensible! Don't worry, I will take care of Daddy's side."

As they were talking, the two returned to the palace.

Feng Mulan left Chu Ning and couldn't wait to go to the backyard to find Shen Wanying.

In the yard, inside the pavilion.

There is a guqin placed on a stone table, and a pair of slender hands are constantly plucking it. The melodious sound of the guqin echoes throughout the backyard, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps interrupted the sound of the piano, and Feng Mulan came into the pavilion with a smile on her face.

The piano music stopped abruptly. Shen Wanying stood up and took Feng Mulan's hand with a surprised look on her face: "Why didn't you tell me you were coming back?"

Feng Mulan chuckled: "It was Lord Di who asked me to come back to deliver the victory report, and he also asked me to stay in Kyoto City for the time being."

Shen Wanying's heart moved.

As Uncle Di could make such a decision, Kyoto City would surely be in turmoil in the future.

Now that the summer harvest is completed, the Ministry of Revenue is busy calculating taxes. Once this is completed, the next step will be the imperial examination.

It seems that Uncle Di asked Mulan to come back for the imperial examination!

In a flash, Shen Wanying understood Di Wenyao's intention.

With a slight smile, Shen Wanying pulled Feng Mulan to sit down: "I'm glad you're back, but can you tell me more about the good news you just mentioned?"

At this moment, Shen Wanying was still unclear about the course of the battle. She only knew that the 200,000 Zhao troops were completely wiped out, but she didn't know the details of how the battle was fought.

When talking about the war, Feng Mulan's eyes lit up: "To talk about this, we have to start with that guy Chu Ning."

Afterwards, she briefly explained Chu Ning's plan and the battle situation on the front line.

After Shen Wanying heard this, her beautiful eyes showed surprise.

"I never thought that the prince could plan and win the battle thousands of miles away."

While sighing, Feng Mulan smiled and said, "There is one more thing. I have already agreed with Chu Ning that I will live in the palace from now on."

Shen Wanying was stunned: "You want to live in the palace?"

"Yes!"

Feng Mulan said as a matter of course: "If I live in my own home, my mother and father will always urge me to get married, and there will be young men from aristocratic families coming to propose marriage to me every day.

These people are so annoying. They come again after I reject them. They are so shameless. It’s different when I move to the palace. They won’t dare to come to the palace to propose to me, right? "

After the last incident of the aristocratic family being wiped out, the relationship between them and Chu Ning is not very good, so of course no one will come to the palace.

But Shen Wanying remained silent after hearing this.

Looking at Feng Mulan's excited expression, Shen Wanying couldn't bear to point out her thoughts.

In fact, Shen Wanying knew that Feng Mulan herself didn’t even realize that she had fallen in love with Chu Ning!

Otherwise, how could an unmarried woman easily live in someone else's house?

While thinking, Feng Mulan noticed that Shen Wanying looked strange, and couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Why, you don't want me to live here?"

Shen Wanying shook her head: "I didn't mean that. I was just worried about Lord Feng..."

"Don't worry!" Feng Mulan patted her chest and assured, "I can take care of Daddy's side."

"In that case, you can have dinner with us later."

Shen Wanying regained her normal look and said with some heartache: "You have suffered a lot in Bingzhou for so many days. I will ask the kitchen to prepare something delicious."

"But His Majesty is having a celebration banquet tonight." Feng Mulan frowned, "If I don't go, it might not be a good idea."

Shen Wanying smiled and said, "The celebration banquet is all about praising one's achievements. Do you really expect to eat at the celebration banquet? I will call the prince over later, and we will have dinner together before going to the palace."

An hour later, as the sun was setting, a table of food and wine was placed in the living room of the palace.

Chu Ning looked at Feng Mulan, who didn't care about her image at all and just ate the beggar's chicken, and a look of helplessness appeared on her face.

How can a girl be so rude?

At this time, Liu Shouren, the Minister of Revenue, came to report: "Your Highness, this is bad. His Majesty has ordered a thorough investigation of the Ministry of Revenue!"

Chu Ning was stunned.

What is wrong with your father? Why is he conducting a thorough investigation into the Ministry of Revenue at this time?

While they were surprised, Ran Ming came to report: "Your Highness, there is news from the Ministry of Justice that the third prince of Zhao who was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Justice has died!

In addition, news came from the palace that His Majesty has canceled tonight's celebration banquet."
