Chapter 197 Sending propositions
Shen Wanying's words made Chu Ning realize that he would soon face two difficult women.
However, given his eloquence, Chu Ning felt that he had a chance of convincing Princess Gaoping.
After finishing the business, Chu Ning ordered people to prepare food, and everyone had lunch together.
At the dinner table, everyone put forward their own ideas and opinions on the reform of Bingzhou and worked together to improve the plan.
At this time, in the Imperial Palace, inside the Yingwu Hall.
The emperor was bent over his desk, reviewing memorials while listening to the report from the palace guards.
When the emperor heard that Shen Wanying had taken five people to the Prince of Chu's Palace, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Chu Ning asked me for the autonomy of Bingzhou, and now he asked Shen Wanying to find the descendants of the previous dynasty. Could it be that he wants these people to govern Bingzhou?"
The shadow guard lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid that's the case. These five people are all well-educated people. Even His Majesty once tried to invite them to the court but was rejected."
The emperor became interested, put down the brush in his hand, and asked with a smile: "Have you found out whether they agree to help Chu Ning?"
"This……"
The shadow guard hesitated for a moment and replied, "The Prince of Chu's Mansion recently cleared out a group of people, and the people arranged by my subordinates were also cleared out. However, these five people stayed in the Prince of Chu's Mansion for dinner. I guess they have reached an agreement with the King of Chu."
This made the emperor a little unhappy.
I invited you to serve as officials in the court, and the starting rank must be at least fourth rank. It would have been fine if you didn't come, but now you actually agree to go to Bingzhou to help Chu Ning?
Bingzhou is located on the border and there is war. Besides, the official positions in the state are not high, but these people actually agreed!
The emperor became more and more annoyed the more he thought about it, and he could not help but snorted coldly: "I want to see what they can do in Bingzhou!"
Even if he recruited learned people, the emperor did not think Chu Ning could govern Bingzhou well.
That barren land will be enough as long as it can resist the invasion of the Zhao army.
Waving his hand, the emperor signaled the shadow guards to retreat.
Then, Zhao Ming entered the palace with a smile: "Your Majesty, Princess Gaoping of the Great Zhou will arrive tomorrow. Please ask the Ministry of Rites for instructions on how to receive her."
The emperor raised his lips slightly and said calmly: "Let Chu Ning handle this matter."
The matter has already been handed over to Chu Ning, why are you still asking me why?
During this turmoil in the Eastern Palace, I punished the Crown Prince but did not punish Chu Ning. I am sure the Crown Prince is not convinced, so why not let Chu Ning suffer in silence and vent the Crown Prince's anger?
Thinking of Princess Gaoping's personality and rumors, an amusement appeared on the emperor's face.
The Queen of the Great Zhou sent this woman here just to get close to Chu Ning and see the strength of our frontline troops.
Then I will give you this opportunity to let you have face to face contact with Chu Ning!
This kid Chu Ning actually took advantage of the Crown Princess. This time, let Princess Gaoping teach you a lesson.
One likes male favorites, the other likes to take advantage of women. No telling what kind of sparks will be created when these two meet.
Thinking of Chu Ning's character of loving to take advantage, the emperor smiled even more.
As for whether Princess Gaoping would do anything to Chu Ning, the emperor was not worried.
This is the capital of the Great Chu Dynasty. Even if Princess Gaoping is taken advantage of, she can't do anything to Chu Ning.
The key is whether Chu Ning can take advantage!
Princess Gaoping wanted to find out the news, so I sent Chu Ning to deliberately leak the news to her!
Anyway, the Battle of Dingxiang was fought by Chu Ning, so Princess Gaoping must also want to meet Chu Ning.
Thinking of the scene of their meeting, the emperor showed a hint of amusement.
The day passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the next morning.
The city gate.
Chu Ning was wearing the purple royal robe bestowed by the emperor and a purple gold crown on his head. A faint smile appeared on his handsome face.
He was guarded by Zhao Yu, and behind him was the Minister of Rites Wang Wenguang. On his left and right stood flag bearers and musicians.
The Great Zhou Dynasty was a powerful country, so the Great Chu naturally did not dare to underestimate it, especially since the person coming this time was a princess.
In addition, Princess Gaoping had a capricious personality and no one dared to provoke her. Chu Ning also made preparations in advance and asked the Ministry of Rites to arrange a lot of manpower to make the event much more grand.
The Minister of Rites Wang Wenguang also knew that Princess Gaoping was not easy to mess with, and he had no objection to this.
Under everyone's gaze, a team of three hundred people appeared outside the city in a short while.
The team came closer and closer, and soon revealed its true appearance. The most eye-catching thing was the huge pink carriage in the middle, which was more than five times the size of an ordinary carriage!
The carriage was decorated extremely luxuriously, with a luminous pearl on the top and gold beads on the four corners. The curtains of the carriage were woven with gold threads, which looked golden and dazzling.
As the carriage approached, a strange fragrance wafted over, making one's blood boil!
Zhao Yu frowned: "Your Highness, this fragrance is very special. It can speed up blood circulation. If you smell it too much, it will make you lose your mind."
Chu Ning narrowed his eyes and waved his right hand in front of him, and the fragrance was thrown away.
At this moment, a man dressed as a civil servant from the Great Zhou delegation rode out on horseback and said in a loud voice, "Princess Gaoping has arrived!"
Chu Ning waved his right hand: "Play music!"
Amidst the pleasant sounds, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and a fair-skinned young man, about twenty years old, came out.
After this person appeared, he actually knelt down beside the carriage.
Soon after, another handsome young man, about 25 years old, came out of the carriage. However, after he came out, he kept the curtain closed and looked very respectful.
Then, a pair of long legs stretched out from the carriage, and the owner of the legs came out with the help of a young man.
She stepped her feet directly on the back of the first young man and landed steadily on the ground.
Chu Ning's mouth twitched.
My goodness, it takes such a big effort to get out of the carriage, and there are three men in the carriage.
Can Princess Gaoping handle fighting three people alone?
Although he had doubts in his heart, Chu Ning still looked at the other person carefully.
Princess Gaoping was wearing a red robe. The soft silk made her curvy figure look very attractive. She had a cloak draped over her shoulders, but at this moment it was pulled to both sides of her shoulders, revealing two exquisite collarbones to everyone.
Further up is the charming face, a melon-shaped face and eyes full of temptation, like a reincarnation of a fairy, making people want to have a kiss on her.
At this moment, Princess Gaoping's face was flushed, as if she had just experienced a fierce battle with a man, and she looked particularly charming.
While Chu Ning was looking at her, she was also looking at Chu Ning.
The two people's eyes met at this moment.
When Princess Gaoping saw Chu Ning for the first time, her eyes lit up!
I didn’t expect there is such a handsome guy!
Princess Gao Ping smiled and stepped forward without waiting for Chu Ning to speak: "I guess this must be His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu?"
Chu Ning smiled and bowed: "I have long heard that Princess Gaoping is the most beautiful woman in the world. Seeing her today, I can see that she is indeed as beautiful as her reputation says."
"is it?"
Princess Gaoping chuckled, stared at Chu Ning and asked, "Who is prettier, me or your unmarried fiancée Shen Wanying?"
My goodness, this is a fatal question right from the start!
