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

Prince Chu's Mansion.

The living room is filled with flickering candlelight and the aroma of tea, which is refreshing.

Chu Ning sat upright in the main seat and took a sip of hot tea. He then felt his body warmer and his drunkenness a little bit.

It was already November, and the weather was getting colder. Chu Ning was worried that Shen Wanying would catch a cold, so he couldn't help but smile and said, "Wanying, have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up."

Shen Wanying nodded slightly, took the tea and took a sip.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Feng Mulan next to her rolled her eyes and said, "Why, you let Wanying drink tea but I am not allowed to drink it?"

Chu Ning had a headache.

This big light bulb is really a nuisance here. I don't even have the chance to take the next step and improve my relationship with Wanying.

However, if I don't deal with this rude woman Feng Mulan properly, I'm afraid I won't have a good life.

Chu Ning put down the teacup and said with a wry smile, "I am just worried that Wanying might catch a cold. Miss Feng, you are a skilled martial artist, so you don't have to worry about that.

But this tea is indeed good tea, if Miss Feng is interested, you can try it."

But Feng Mulan snorted: "I don't want your tea!"

Chu Ning's mouth twitched, and he was speechless.

You said that I didn't let you drink, and now I let you drink, but you don't want to drink.

Shen Wanying put down her teacup and heard this, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Mulan, please don't embarrass His Highness."

Feng Mulan rolled her eyes: "Oh, oh, oh, you haven't even gotten married yet, and you're already speaking for him?

What, you think it's inconvenient for me to be here, so I'll leave?"

Having said that, Feng Mulan stood up and walked out.

Shen Wanying smiled bitterly, stepped forward and took her hand: "Mulan, that's not what I meant."

Chu Ning also changed the subject at this time: "Okay, I have something serious to tell you."

Upon hearing that there was something important, the two girls' faces turned serious and they turned to look at Chu Ning.

"Business? What business?" Feng Mulan looked confused.

Chu Ning said in a deep voice: "I will go to the Ministry of Justice to deal with the Du Yuanji incident. The Crown Prince is behind this, and I'm sure they will continue to use this incident to suppress me.

But the wedding of the prince and Wanying will be held on the Lantern Festival, and the arrangements for the wedding may require your help."

When these words came out, Feng Mulan's eyes widened: "You are now the King of Chu, a meritorious official, how dare the people from the Ministry of Justice treat you like this?"

After saying that, she felt something was wrong. Chu Ning was talking about the prince just now. She couldn't help but snorted coldly: "I'll go find the prince and ask him for clarification!"

"and many more!"

Chu Ning hurriedly called Feng Mulan: "The prince will only manipulate this matter from behind the scenes, and it is impossible for him to show up in person. The Ministry of Justice is also acting on orders, and I must cooperate. If you go to the prince now, he will scold you instead."

Feng Mulan is really impatient. She will take action as soon as she disagrees with something.

Shen Wanying knew Feng Mulan's character very well, and immediately persuaded her: "It's useless to ask the prince about this matter. On the surface, he will not be involved in this matter. Besides, you have no evidence, how can he admit it?"

Feng Mulan curled her lips and said, "Are we just going to let the prince use despicable means and do nothing?"

"This is your wedding with Chu Ning. Don't you want Chu Ning to help you plan the wedding?"

There is only one chance to get married, who doesn’t want to decorate the wedding with her husband?

But Shen Wanying shook her head and chuckled: "I was the one who arranged the engagement banquet for His Highness and I. A wedding banquet is not a problem for me. Besides, His Highness has some important things to deal with next, so he really can't spare the time."

"Important?" Feng Mulan waited for Chu Ning to look at her and said, "Is there anything more important than your wedding?"

Shen Wanying wanted to explain, but Feng Mulan shook her hand and said, "Forget it, this is your business, you can discuss it among yourselves. I'll wait for you outside!"

After saying this, Feng Mulan left the living room.

In fact, she was not unaware of her identity, but she felt sad when she thought about Chu Ning marrying Shen Wanying.

He deliberately made an excuse to follow Shen Wanying because he just wanted to spend more time with Chu Ning.

But now seeing Chu Ning and Shen Wanying singing the same tune, she felt even more upset.

It’s better to leave. Out of sight, out of mind!

Shen Wanying did not try to keep him, as she knew Chu Ning must have something in mind that prompted her to come here.

Sure enough, Chu Ning walked over to her with a smile, took her hand and said with a smile: "Finally, we have some time to ourselves."

Shen Wanying was already used to being held by Chu Ning, and she didn't even blush this time.

"You asked me to come here, didn't you, just to let me be in charge of the wedding banquet?"

"of course not!"

Chu Ning pulled Shen Wanying to sit down and chuckled, "Besides the wedding banquet, Bingzhou needs your help."

Shen Wanying shook her head slightly: "I knew you had bad intentions. Your conditions tonight are equivalent to turning Bingzhou into your own territory. If you want to govern it well, you can't do it without the right person."

After a pause, she seemed to have thought of something, glanced at Chu Ning, and asked in surprise: "Are you looking for someone from me?"

"How clever! You got it right!"

Chu Ning raised his thumb and said with a sly smile, "I just want to ask you for someone. I don't trust the people in the court, and they can't possibly work for me.

You are a descendant of the previous dynasty, and you must know the former ministers. Among these people there must be people with real talents and knowledge.

All you need is for you to recommend a few people to me, and use their abilities to govern Bingzhou. Isn't that a piece of cake?"

It doesn’t matter if no one in the court supports you, your fiancée has someone to support her!

Moreover, those former ministers must be loyal to the Shen family, otherwise they would not have failed to enter the government.

As long as Shen Wanying asks, those people will definitely help.

By then, governing Bingzhou would no longer face the embarrassing dilemma of lack of talent.

Shen Wanying reacted and stared at Chu Ning in disbelief: "You really have a lot of tricks up your sleeve, and you're targeting my Shen family.

But you have to know that since these people are unwilling to serve this dynasty, even if I ask them to come out, they may not necessarily help."

Although she really wanted to help, Shen Wanying also had concerns.

Intellectuals have their own character, and even the descendants of their previous dynasty may not be able to persuade the other party to come out.

Chu Ning was well prepared for this.

Chu Ning took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it over: "This is the letter I wrote to them. I believe they will agree after reading it."

Shen Wanying took the letter, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Can I see it?"

"of course can!"

She opened the letter with her delicate hands and read it word by word. Soon a look of horror appeared on her exquisite face.

It took a long time for Shen Wanying to come back to her senses.

"If it is really as you said in your heart, Bingzhou will definitely be a rich place in the future. I believe that after reading this letter, the uncles will definitely agree to come out of retirement!"

At this moment, Shen Wanying was full of confidence in persuasion.

Chu Ning chuckled and said, "Let them come before our wedding, and then let them go to Bingzhou after the wedding."

Shen Wanying smiled and put the letter away: "Now I understand where your confidence comes from, and I also know why you insist that His Majesty hand over Bingzhou to you for self-governance!

However, I still want to remind you that you must be careful when you are heard in court tomorrow. The Crown Prince will definitely seize on this matter."

Chu Ning patted his chest and said confidently: "Don't worry, I'm waiting for him to make a move!"
