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

As the delicious and fragrant dishes came up, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

In order to ease the atmosphere, the emperor also asked everyone to toast at this moment.

For a while, everyone was changing cups and cups, and it was very lively.

Of course, as the protagonist, Chu Ning naturally became the target of everyone's attack.

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the King of Chu for his great victory!"

"This cup of wine is in honor of the King of Chu!"

"It's true that heroes emerge from youth. It's shocking that the King of Chu has such a record at such a young age."

"Your Highness, I'll drink this glass of wine. Please feel free to enjoy it!"

Under the "siege" of the crowd, even though Chu Ning had a good alcohol tolerance, his face turned red after drinking.

Although the alcohol content of wine in this era is not very high, you will still get drunk if you drink too much.

Dozens of officials took turns to toast him, and even the wine saint would not be able to handle it.

This scene made Shen Wanying very worried, and for the first time, anxiety appeared on Wenwan's face.

If he continues drinking like this, how could Chu Ning possibly withstand it!

What's more, the princes haven't come to toast yet. If these people come up, Chu Ning will definitely get drunk and might even make a fool of himself.

She really wanted to go up and drink the wine for Chu Ning, but she knew she couldn't drink, and if she blocked the wine for Chu Ning, she might make a fool of herself.

Just when Shen Wanying was getting anxious, the prince and Ling Feiyan opposite her looked like they were enjoying the show.

Drink, drink more. When your father asks for the military power back, we will see how you respond.

As long as I get drunk, maybe it would be easy to take back the military power.

There is no point in being anxious, Shen Wanying. The more anxious you are, the happier I will be!

The prince was so happy at this moment, especially when he saw despair gradually appearing on Shen Wanying's beautiful face, a sly smile appeared on his face.

The emperor was also happy to see this happen at this moment. He stroked his beard and waited for Chu Ning to get drunk before taking action.

Chu Ning is a clever guy with a lot of clever ideas. If he wasn't drunk, he probably wouldn't easily hand over his military power.

Only by getting drunk will there be a chance to take back the military power peacefully!

At this moment, Chu Ning finally saw what was going on in the officialdom!

Although he had been trying his best to refuse and never drank too much each time, there were just too many people coming to toast him.

Even if everyone took a sip, he still drank a lot.

If no one stands up to stop the drinking now, we will definitely be drunk tonight!

However, there was no sign of panic on Chu Ning's face.

He had anticipated this!

Chu Ning signaled to Liu Shouren with his eyes, and Liu Shouren understood. He immediately stood up, holding the wine glass and smiled at the people who came to toast:

“My Lords, His Royal Highness the King of Chu has been fighting on the front lines for many days and has not had a good rest. He has come back from a long journey and has drunk so much alcohol. I’m afraid his body cannot handle it.

How about this, I am a humble official, but I am willing to drink with you all on behalf of Your Highness."

Having said that, in order to show his sincerity, he immediately picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

The emperor raised his eyebrows. Is there anyone willing to stand up and block the wine for Chu Ning?

No, I can't let this guy block the wine, otherwise how can I carry out my plan?

Just as the emperor was thinking about how to respond, the prince beside him smiled and said, "It seems that Lord Liu has a very good relationship with the Eighteenth Brother recently. He is actually willing to block the wine for him."

Liu Shouren's expression changed slightly.

This is to deliberately label himself as a member of the Chu King's party.

Although every prince had his own clique, being labeled as someone else's clique in front of the emperor was a big taboo for the emperor!

"Your Highness, I just came out because I saw His Highness the Prince of Chu drinking with so many adults. I felt sorry for His Highness the Prince of Chu."

Liu Shouren said with a look of panic: "Please don't misunderstand me, Your Highness."

The prince chuckled and said, "It doesn't matter if I misunderstand, but I'm afraid that someone else will misunderstand. Then you won't be able to explain it clearly, Lord Liu."

I just want to threaten you!

You are just a minister, and you were recommended to this table by Chu Ning. Do you think you are qualified to block the wine for Chu Ning?

"This……"

Liu Shouren glanced at the emperor beside him and felt very conflicted.

If he didn't stand up, His Highness would definitely be drunk.

But if he insisted on blocking the wine for Chu Ning, he would definitely be labeled as a member of the King of Chu's party, which would be disadvantageous to both himself and the King of Chu.

While hesitating, the emperor narrowed his eyes, stared at Liu Shouren and said calmly: "Lord Liu, you are really loyal to Chu Ning."

These words scared Liu Shouren so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.

Saying that he was loyal to Chu Ning meant he was being disloyal to the emperor.

This is a reminder to myself that I cannot stand up.

Liu Shouren quickly saluted and said, "Your Majesty, I just feel sorry for His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, nothing else."

The emperor said nothing.

But the prince chuckled and said, "It's just drinking, but Lord Liu feels bad. If the King of Chu has other things to do, Lord Liu will rush to him."

This statement was quite murderous and meant to label Liu Shouren as a member of the Chu Wang party.

Liu Shouren was suddenly speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Shen Wanying was also a little anxious at this moment. If Chu Ning had arranged Liu Shouren as a backup, then something unexpected would have happened now.

Once Liu Shouren is unable to block the drinking for Chu Ning, those ministers will become even more presumptuous.

If the current trend continues, Chu Ning’s military power will definitely be taken away.

Just when the two were getting anxious, Feng Mulan, who had been silent, suddenly snorted coldly, picked up the wine glass and walked in front of Chu Ning.

Amid the surprised eyes of the crowd, Feng Mulan stared at the group of officials who came to toast her and said loudly, "You like drinking so much, right? I will drink with you!"

As she spoke, she picked up the glass and drank it all.

Then she snatched the wine glass from the official in front and drank it in one gulp.

The prince wanted to speak up to stop them, but Feng Mulan was so fast that she snatched the wine glasses from the five officials in the blink of an eye.

Drink it all in one gulp!

This scene shocked everyone.

No one expected that Feng Mulan could drink so much.

Even the emperor was stunned.

what's the situation?

Feng Mulan actually blocked the wine for Chu Ning?

Judging from the situation, Feng Mulan must be able to drink quite a lot.

While thinking, the prince reacted, his face darkened, and he said in a cold voice: "Nonsense, the adults are toasting to the eighteenth brother, why are you blocking the wine, Miss Feng?"

Feng Mulan, who was drunk, had a slightly flushed face, which added a bit of femininity to her. Her heroic eyes were bright and she didn't look drunk at all.

He turned to look at the Crown Prince and sneered, "What does it mean that Your Highness wants you all to toast the King of Chu?"

"you……"

"Huh, what? Do you also want to ask me why I blocked the wine for the King of Chu?"

Feng Mulan raised her head and said frankly: "The King of Chu is Wanying's fiancé, and Wanying is my good friend. I am blocking the wine for the King of Chu. You don't think I am Chu Ning's man, do you?"

The prince's mouth twitched and he was suddenly speechless.

If an official stood up, no matter who he was, the same approach used against Liu Shouren would be useless.

But Feng Mulan can’t do that!

Because she is a woman.

How could my daughter possibly get involved in party disputes?

Besides, the whole city of Kyoto knew that Feng Mulan only had Shen Wanying as her friend, so this reason made sense.

This is troublesome. Now that Feng Mulan has stepped forward, I have no way to target Chu Ning.

The prince rolled his eyes and glanced secretly at his father.

Now we can only wait and see whether father will take action.
