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

Chapter 19: This scapegoat prince is quite sensible

"What, engagement?"

Inside the Shen residence, Shen Wanying's face turned grim when she heard the news.

After all the effort, the engagement ends up being cancelled!

For this, she paid the price of five million dan of grain!

Feng Mulan, who was standing next to her, had murderous eyes and her pretty face was filled with anger.

"I told you, Chu Ning is unreliable, why do you insist on trusting him?"

Feng Mulan was so angry that she drew her sword and said viciously: "I will go find him now and force him to break off the engagement!"

Shen Wanying sighed: "This is already the biggest concession your majesty has made. If you cancel the engagement directly, it will damage the reputation of the royal family.

Chu Ning will have no chance of survival if he goes to the front line, so we might as well wait for a while."

It was just an engagement, and as long as the marriage wasn't completed, she could still maintain her virginity.

When Chu Ning dies in battle on the front line, she will immediately find a good man to marry!

Although Feng Mulan was impulsive, she also understood that this matter involved the royal family and she could not act recklessly.

"This guy is so abominable. I hope he dies on the front line sooner!"

Feng Mulan took Shen Wanying's hand and comforted her, "You don't have to worry too much. He will definitely die on the front line this time. When he dies, this matter will be over.

By the way, Mr. He's son asked me to go to the training ground today to practice horseback archery. You are free, so come with me!"

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Shen Wanying to refuse, he took Shen Wanying's hand and walked out of the hall.

With Shen Wanying's personality, she didn't want to go to the parade ground, but she knew Feng Mulan wanted to comfort her, so she couldn't refuse at the moment.

In the training ground, Chu Ning was practicing mounting and dismounting a horse under the instruction of Zhao Yu.

Chu Ning had never been in contact with a war horse, so he could only start practicing from the most basic level.

"Your Highness, when you mount a horse, you need to hold the saddle with both hands, and then use the force to jump up!"

As Zhao Yu spoke, he demonstrated to Chu Ning.

Chu Ning's eyes lit up at the smooth operation, and he immediately stepped forward to try it himself.

But when he got on the horse for the first time, Chu Ning still underestimated the difficulty of the task. Although he held the saddle with both hands, he could not jump up.

I tried twice but failed!

At this time, a chuckle came from behind: "Princess, Miss Feng, look, that man can't even get on a horse!"

Suddenly a voice came and everyone turned around to look.

"Chun Ning!!"

When Feng Mulan saw Chu Ning, her eyes immediately spit fire: "Well, you actually sent someone to keep an eye on Wanying and deliberately came here to meet us. This is such a clumsy trick, do you think I can't see it?"

Shen Wanying didn't say anything, but stood there with a calm expression.

In fact, she had already realized that Chu Ning came here before them and did not intend to meet them at all.

But she was angry because the cancellation of the engagement failed today, and she did not stop Feng Mulan from causing trouble for Chu Ning.

Chu Ning looked at the angry Feng Mulan in front of him and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

It’s really a narrow road between enemies!

"Ms. Feng, you must have made a mistake. It was clearly me who arrived here first. How come the King deliberately ran into you?"

Chu Ning shrugged and threw the reins to Zhao Yu: "It's getting late, let's go back and eat."

Unexpectedly, Feng Mulan snorted coldly and stretched out her hand to block Chu Ning's way: "Stop, you haven't explained today's matter to Wanying yet, you can't just leave like this!"

Chu Ning put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "According to the agreement between this prince and Princess Shen, this prince only needs to mention the cancellation of the engagement to the emperor. As for how the emperor decides, that is his business!

If you want me to give Princess Shen an explanation, then go find my father!"

These words made Feng Mulan jump up and down in anger.

This damn guy knew clearly that he didn't dare to go to the emperor, yet he deliberately said such things to make me angry!

"You...you bastard, as a prince, you don't keep your word!"

Feng Mulan was not good at speaking, and Chu Ning's words made her face red with anger, but she could do nothing about it.

Although Shen Wanying was very upset, she also knew that Chu Ning was not to blame.

Chu Ning dared not disobey the emperor's order!

"Mulan, forget it, let's go."

Shen Wanying had no intention of talking to Chu Ning, nor did she want to see Chu Ning.

But Feng Mulan gritted her teeth and stared at Chu Ning: "He should be the one to leave!"

Chu Ning is so hateful, I can't give in!

He Qingyun had never seen Feng Mulan so attentive to a man, and the jealousy in his heart instantly rushed to his head.

The man in front of him called himself "the king", but he knew all the princes in Kyoto City. The only one he didn't know was the scapegoat prince Chu Ning!

With such a good opportunity, of course I have to show up in front of the beauty!

He Qingyun raised his lips slightly, stepped forward, bowed and said with a smile: "So you are the Prince of Penglai. Captain He Qingyun greets His Highness!"

Zhao Yu whispered in Chu Ning's ear, "This man is the son of He Peng, the Minister of Works and the crown prince's confidant."

Chu Ning nodded slightly, glanced at He Qingyun and Feng Mulan, and said with a smile: "Captain He, there is no need to be polite. Just accompany Miss Feng and don't get angry all the time. An angry woman ages quickly."

"You... who are you calling old?"

Feng Mulan was so angry that she was about to draw her sword!

Zhao Yu snorted coldly: "If you draw your sword in front of His Highness, I can treat you as an assassin!"

Feng Mulan was so angry that she was shaking all over.

Why is this damn guy Chu Ning a prince!

If you draw your sword, you will be considered an assassin!

When He Qingyun saw his beloved woman being bullied, a look of displeasure appeared on his face.

He Qingyun came to Feng Mulan with a quick step, narrowed his eyes, and said coldly: "Humph, a mere imperial guard dares to be so presumptuous in front of this captain? Why don't you retreat!"

Zhao Yu wanted to say something, but Chu Ning reached out to stop him.

"Forget it, it's just a small matter, let's go."

It would be unwise to offend Shen Wanying now. The food is already in hand, so there is no need to continue the dispute.

But He Qingyun rolled his eyes and said calmly: "Your Highness must have come here to practice riding and archery, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"I am a humble general, but I am willing to personally teach Your Highness!"

Chu Ning must be taught a lesson today for daring to bully Mulan.

As long as he showed up in front of Mulan, she might be happy enough to agree to the marriage between the two families.

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes, and a strange color flashed across them.

Teach in person?

I’m afraid this guy has bad intentions, right?

Want to show your face in front of the woman you love?

Okay, let’s see who has the better move today!

While thinking, Zhao Yu's face was solemn, and he whispered: "Your Highness, this person has bad intentions, let's go back first."

Chu Ning waved his hand, indicating that he knew his limits.

Looking up at He Qingyun, Chu Ning showed a harmless smile: "Since Captain He has such a heart, I naturally cannot refuse your kindness!

As a captain, your riding and archery skills must be far superior to those of ordinary people. Captain He, can you demonstrate them?"
