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

"happy event?"

Inside the Yangxin Hall.

Chu Ning, who had just finished discussing with Emperor Chu, looked up at him, then smiled and said:

"I don't know what made Manager Zhao so happy."

The King of Chu's eyes lit up: "Could it be that the Han Dynasty and the Wei Kingdom have decided the winner? Forget it, guessing is meaningless, let's go out and ask."

The excited Emperor Chu ignored his status and led the way out of the palace.

Chu Ning was the first to open the palace door, revealing the faces of Zhao Ming and Xiao Qing outside the palace.

"Your Majesty, what a great event! The Crown Princess is pregnant!" Zhao Ming's face was full of excitement and he bowed.

Emperor Chu and Chu Ning were both slightly stunned. No one expected that the happy event Zhao Ming was talking about was this.

Turning around and looking at Chu Ning, the King of Chu smiled and said, "This is truly a great joyous event. Prince, let's go. You lead the way."

No one was happier than Chu Ning that the Crown Princess was pregnant.

Chu Ning came back to his senses after hearing this, with a look of surprise on his face. He took two steps forward, stared at Xiao Qing and asked:

"This is real?"

Xiao Qing nodded repeatedly: "I dare not lie to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Today, the Crown Princess vomited, and I personally asked the imperial physician to see her. The imperial physician said in person that she is pregnant."

The imperial physician has seen it, so it must be correct.

In the imperial palace, anything could be false, except this kind of thing.

Chu Ning's eyes lit up, and without saying a word, he went straight to the East Palace.

Zhao Ming at the back opened his mouth to remind him, but the King of Chu stopped him with his hand and said with a faint smile:

"Just let the prince lead the way, and I will follow behind."

"Yes!" Zhao Ming responded and took the initiative to lead the way.

In fact, Zhao Ming knew clearly that the emperor wanted to give the prince and the princess some time alone, so the time passed slowly.

At this moment, Chu Ning was full of joy and went straight to the East Palace.

The sound of galloping footsteps shuttled through the corridor, and the excitement on his face made him wish he could grow wings and fly directly to the East Palace.

After almost four years of marriage, he and Shen Wanying are finally going to have a child!

This matter has always been a regret for him and Shen Wanying, and it has also always been Shen Wanying's wish.

Now, it has finally been achieved.

The hurried footsteps carried Chu Ning's heart with them as he took two steps forward. The jade pendants on his body kept colliding with the python robe due to the speed, making a "puff puff" sound.

Soon, Chu Ning arrived at the East Palace and went straight to Shen Wanying's residence.

inside the house.

Shen Wanying stroked her belly with joy, a maternal glow on her face.

At this moment, the door was pushed open and Chu Ning rushed over like a gust of wind.

Without waiting for Shen Wanying to react, he grabbed Shen Wanying's hand and asked excitedly: "Is this true?"

Shen Wanying blushed slightly and nodded slightly as a response.

"Hahahaha, that's great, my beloved concubine and I finally have a child!"

Chu Ning was as excited as a child, and his face flushed.

The long-cherished expectation was realized inadvertently, and even Chu Ning couldn't control his emotions at this moment.

It was the first time that Shen Wanying saw Chu Ning lose his composure like this, but she was very happy in her heart.

She knew that Chu Ning lost his composure because of her and the fetus in her belly.

Seeing Chu Ning's grip getting tighter and tighter, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "If others saw the prince like this, they would definitely think he is a child."

But Chu Ning didn't care about that, she laughed loudly and said, "I just want everyone to know that my beloved concubine is pregnant!"

"By the way, what did the doctor say?"

Shen Wanying chuckled, took Chu Ning's hand, pulled him to sit on the bed beside her, and then said with a smile:

"The imperial physician said that it will only be about a month. You still have to be careful during this period and not disturb the fetus."

"Before the imperial physician left, he left a prescription for preserving the pregnancy."

More than a month, that is, the period of time after Chu Ning returned from the battlefield.

Because he had been on the front line for several months, he asked Shen Wanying to sleep with him almost every day after he came back.

Sure enough, hard work and deep planting will pay off.

Chu Ning nodded slightly, showing satisfaction: "Very good, I will reward the imperial physician handsomely!"

But just as he finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and looked embarrassed.

Shen Wanying was a little surprised by such a rapid change, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

"Nothing... nothing." Chu Ning turned his head, trying not to let Shen Wanying see his expression.

But who is Shen Wanying? How could she not see what Chu Ning is thinking?

"Your Highness, what is this matter that is troubling you, and it has something to do with me?"

Shen Wanying said step by step, smiling, "To embarrass the Crown Prince, I must have to travel far away, but now I am pregnant, so Your Highness thinks it is not appropriate to travel far away at this time, right?"

Although no one knows what Chu Ning is hiding, her title of the most talented woman in the Great Chu is not in vain.

He saw through Chu Ning's thoughts in just a few words.

Chu Ning smiled bitterly, it was impossible to hide these things.

"Okay, I won't hide it from you."

Chu Ning shook his head helplessly: "The Queen of the Great Zhou sent an invitation a few days ago. She plans to confer the title on Wu Xiuning during the Lantern Festival. Our dynasty is on good terms with the Zhou dynasty, so I have already sent someone to reply and am ready to accept the invitation."

After a pause, he placed his right hand on Shen Wanying's belly and sighed, "But now you are pregnant, I..."

Before she could finish her words, Shen Wanying covered her mouth with her hand.

"I thought it was something else, but it turned out to be a matter of national importance. Don't worry, I'm not a hypocritical person."

Shen Wanying smiled and said, "Your Highness has the final say in Da Chu now, and I am in the palace, so I am not in any danger.

Your Highness will only attend the enthronement ceremony and will be back soon, so it won’t take much time.”

But Chu Ning was still a little worried. He reached out and held Shen Wanying in his arms, saying softly:

"This is your and my first child. I want to be with you from beginning to end."

Although he knew that there was no danger in the palace, how could he feel at ease going to the Great Zhou Dynasty when Shen Wanying was pregnant?

Even if the Great Zhou Dynasty and the State of Chu were on good terms, and even if he had a special relationship with Wu Zhao, he did not want to leave Shen Wanying behind and go to the Great Zhou at this time.

But Shen Wanying shook her head repeatedly: "Your Highness thinks this way and you look down on me and the country of Chu.

Going to the Great Zhou to attend the princess's enthronement ceremony is a major event between countries. How can it be delayed because of my pregnancy?

If this is the case, I would rather not..."

Before she finished her words, Chu Ning covered her mouth in the same way and said sternly:

"Okay, I know what you mean, so please don't say anything unpleasant later."

Seeing Shen Wanying nod, Chu Ning put down his hand, took her hand, and said softly:

"Don't worry, I will be back as soon as I finish attending the enthronement ceremony. I won't be late for even a day!"

After saying that, Chu Ning shouted outside the house: "Zhao Yu!"

"Your Highness!" Zhao Yu came in from outside and bowed.

Chu Ning said solemnly: "Pass the order. I will lead a thousand white horse cavalrymen to Da Zhou tomorrow!"

He just wanted to attend Wu Xiuning's enthronement ceremony, and he believed it wouldn't take much time.
