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

Chu Ning left the inn with a smug look on his face.

He believed that Princess Changping and Princess Gaoping were not fools and would not fight at this time.

Fighting tomorrow will benefit both of them, so why rush into it?

Sure enough, before Chu Ning returned to the palace, the person sent out to follow him came to report.

"Your Highness, Princess Gaoping has left the Qin Inn with her people, and the Qin envoys have collected a lot of food and are now feasting."

The spy's words made Chu Ning's mouth curl up slightly, revealing a hint of satisfaction.

Everything is under control.

The fact that Princess Gaoping was able to come out safely shows that the two sides did not fight.

The Qin envoy bought food and had a full meal in order to recover his strength as quickly as possible in order to prepare for tomorrow's battle.

Chu Ning grinned and said, "Very good, now take people to spread the news that the two princesses will fight tomorrow."

"Yes!" the spy responded and was about to leave.

"and many more!"

Chu Ning suddenly stopped him and said, "I must emphasize that they fought for my facial mask, which has the effect of beautifying the skin. Princess Shen gave it to the Queen and the ladies in the harem, and they loved it very much!"

"My subordinate understands!"

The spy took the order and left, but Chu Ning gave the next order: "Zhao Yu, go to the military camp immediately and tell them to clear the training ground tomorrow."

Zhao Yu hesitated: "Your Highness, just send someone over for this matter. I still want to stay by your side."

Now that so many people have come to Kyoto City, no one can guarantee whether these people have bad intentions. Only by staying can Chu Ning's safety be ensured.

Chu Ning knew Zhao Yu's worries and chuckled, "Don't worry, I'm going to the palace now, and no one dares to take action in the palace."

"I understand!" Zhao Yu immediately saluted, turned around and left on his horse.

Not everyone can enter the military camp, but Zhao Yu has now been named General Pingdong and has the right to enter the military camp and requisition the training ground.

Of course, such a big matter must be reported to the emperor.

After dealing with these, Chu Ning went straight to the palace.

But what Chu Ning didn't know was that the emperor had already learned the news before he even reached the palace.

"What? Princess Gaoping wants to gamble with Princess Changping, and the stakes are just three bottles of facial masks?"

The emperor stared at the shadow guards below with a look of disbelief on his face. He thought there was something wrong with his ears and he must have heard it wrong!

But the shadow guard said firmly: "This is absolutely true, and the news has now spread throughout Kyoto City. Many people want to go to the training ground tomorrow to witness the battle with their own eyes."

These words made the emperor look a little ugly.

What is this kid Chu Ning doing?

It was such a big thing, why didn't he stop it?

Those are the princesses of the Great Zhou and the Great Qin. No matter who has an accident, these two dynasties will not let it go.

By then, the one who will be in trouble will be Da Chu.

The emperor couldn't help but frown as he thought about it and said, "What on earth is that mask? Why did it cause these two people to fight?"

The shadow guard hesitated for a moment and whispered, "It is said that this thing is made from plant essences extracted by His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu. Princess Shen also gave a lot of it to the Queen and the ladies in the harem. It is said that..."

Having said this, he didn't dare to say any more.

The emperor gave him a cold look and asked, "What is it said?"

The shadow guard answered reluctantly, "It is said that the Queen and the other ladies like it very much. Even the Crown Princess, who has always disliked His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu, accepted it this time."

These words made the emperor narrow his eyes and a hint of surprise flashed across his face.

The Queen has very high standards. If the Queen could praise this thing highly, it means it must be good.

The Crown Princess was taken advantage of by Chu Ning last time, but this time she actually accepted the facial mask made by Chu Ning. I guess she also approves of this thing.

No wonder Princess Gaoping and Princess Changping fought over this thing, it turns out it really works.

As for women, there is no one who doesn’t love beauty.

However, this mask is so magical, why doesn’t Chu Ning send some to me?

Thinking of this, the emperor suddenly became unhappy.

"Go, call that kid Chu Ning to me!" The emperor felt that he should teach Chu Ning a good lesson.

Such good stuff, how can you not give it to me!

But just as he finished speaking, Zhao Ming's voice came from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Chu requests an audience."

"Humph, I was looking for him!"

The emperor snorted coldly, waved his sleeves and asked the shadow guards to move forward, and said coldly to the outside: "Let him in!"

Chu Ning came in from outside the palace with a look of panic on his face. Before the emperor could ask, he shouted:

"Father, save me!"

The emperor's mouth twitched.

Pretend, keep pretending!

You deliberately provoked this, and now you want me to save you?

It's a shame for your acting skills if you don't join a drama troupe to perform.

You want to pretend, right? I can do it too!

The emperor pretended to be confused and frowned, "What makes you so panicked?"

After a pause, without waiting for Chu Ning to explain, the emperor snorted again and scolded: "As a prince, royal etiquette is the most important. How can you be so panicked?"

Chu Ning smiled bitterly: "Father, you don't know, Princess Gaoping and Princess Changping are going to fight tomorrow."

He then briefly recounted the incident.

The emperor rolled his eyes secretly after hearing this.

All of this was caused by you. Why did you sell the facial mask that was intended for Princess Changping to Princess Gaoping?

Of course, the emperor couldn't say this. It had already happened and he could only find a way to deal with it.

"You want me to step in and stop this?" the emperor asked with a smile.

Chu Ning laughed awkwardly: "Father, you are joking. The two of them have already decided on something, and even if you come forward, I am afraid you won't be able to convince them.

I want you to send troops to guard the place, to prevent things from getting out of hand and ending badly."

This is not Bingzhou, the troops will not obey my orders. If you want to mobilize troops in Kyoto City, you can only get the emperor's consent.

The emperor's mouth twitched.

Good boy, you have set your sights on me.

You are very good at getting something for nothing.

Why would I do something that has no benefit?

The emperor pretended to be displeased: "This matter has caused such a big stir. If I send troops there again, it will inevitably cause misunderstandings."

As if he was worried that Chu Ning didn't understand what he meant, he added: "For a mere facial mask, I guess they won't fight to the death!"

The hint is obvious.

But Chu Ning seemed not to understand, and suddenly said seriously: "Father, in fact, this is a time to test the strength of the other side. Let our troops see the strength of the Great Zhou and Great Qin troops with their own eyes. If we face them in the future, we will have a better idea in mind."

The emperor's eyes lit up.

That's a good suggestion.

However, this kid Chu Ning doesn't understand what I mean.

Can you give me some facial mask?

The emperor raised his eyebrows and frowned, "Although what you said makes sense, what if I send troops over and they don't fight?"

Chu Ning chuckled: "Don't worry, Father. They are not fighting for the mask this time, but for face. If more people go, it will stimulate their fighting spirit!"

Facial masks are for women to use, so forget it, father.

Just send a team of imperial guards to me!
