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

The next day, at the hour of Mao.

The Prince of Chu's palace was decorated with lights and colorful decorations. Big red wedding characters were posted everywhere on the doors, windows, and corridors, and red silk was hung all over the palace.

Chu Ning is getting married today, and the servants in the palace have been busy since early morning.

Chu Ning was no exception. She started dressing up before dawn, wearing a red robe and a red satin flower.

His handsome face becomes even more attractive after careful dressing up.

When everything was ready, Ni Heng's voice appeared outside the house: "Your Highness, the wedding procession is ready."

Chu Ning nodded slightly: "Let's go!"

At the command, the palace guards carried a sedan chair with eight bearers and many gifts to the Shen Mansion.

But just then, the sound of horse hooves was heard on the street.

When everyone looked up, they saw a group of soldiers escorting a young man in a dragon robe riding towards them.

Then, a guard shouted, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

Chu Ning, who had already mounted the horse, raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised.

What is the prince doing in the palace at this time?

The wedding hasn't even started yet!

Surprised, the prince rode his horse to Chu Ning and chuckled, "Eighteenth brother, I came here uninvited, you won't be unwelcome, right?"

Chu Ning laughed and bowed, "Brother Crown Prince, I am very welcome to attend my wedding."

The prince took a look at the eight-man sedan chair and gifts prepared by the Prince of Chu's Palace, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Shen Wanying was the one I liked, but I didn't expect that she would become the one that got taken care of by Chu Ning!

However, it is not certain whether Shen Wanying will get on the sedan chair today.

The prince raised his lips slightly, pretending to be earnestly saying, "Eighteenth Brother has suffered so much all these years living alone among the common people. This time, I am willing to go with Eighteenth Brother to welcome the bride!"

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes and sneered in his heart.

Taking the initiative to come over and help me welcome the bride is like a weasel paying a New Year's visit to a chicken, and he has no good intentions.

However, as the crown prince, he came in person to welcome the bride with me. This would give the Chu Palace face, and it would also give the Shen family enough face.

No matter what the prince's purpose is, at least on the surface, this matter is beneficial to the Chu Palace and the Shen family.

Chu Ning grinned: "Since the prince brother is so willing, I will certainly not refuse!"

"Hahahaha, good!" The prince waved his hand and said, "It's getting late, let's go!"

However, the people in the Prince of Chu's Palace did not move.

They are waiting for Chu Ning's order!

This made the prince somewhat embarrassed, and his face suddenly darkened.

Chu Ning smiled secretly in his heart, pretending not to notice the prince's anger, and said loudly: "Let's go!"

At a command, people from the Prince of Chu's Palace carried the sedan chair and gifts towards the Shen Mansion.

Along the way, there were guards from the palace clearing the way, and the sound of gongs continued to ring, making it very lively.

The people who had known that the King of Chu was getting married today had been waiting on both sides of the street since early in the morning. When they saw Chu Ning riding his horse, they cheered.

No matter what Chu Ning's background was, Chu Ning defeated 200,000 Zhao troops on the front line, so he was their hero.

At this moment, the hero was getting married, and the people lined the streets to welcome him. The deafening cheers made the prince beside Chu Ning look extremely gloomy.

I didn’t expect Chu Ning’s prestige is so high!

Although he felt somewhat indignant in his heart, the prince could only put on a forced smile in front of everyone, and from time to time he followed Chu Ning and waved to everyone.

Now that I'm here, I might as well take advantage of Chu Ning's prestige!

Along the way, whenever Chu Ning waved, the prince would wave too.

Little did he know that he looked like Chu Ning's follower.

The people on the street focused all their eyes on Chu Ning. The prince did not exist in their eyes at all. No matter how hard the prince waved his hands, it was of no use.

The prince was very excited at first, but after walking for a while he found something was wrong. The people didn't even look at him.

Now it's embarrassing.

If he followed Chu Ning's wave, he would be ignored. If he didn't follow Chu Ning's wave, it would seem that he was just trying to take advantage of Chu Ning's prestige.

This made the prince very angry. He was so angry that his face turned red!

But no matter how angry he was, in order to protect his reputation as the crown prince, he could only continue to follow Chu Ning and wave to everyone.

Fortunately, the Shen Mansion was not far away. Three quarters of an hour later, the wedding procession arrived outside the Shen Mansion.

At this moment, the gate of the Shen Mansion was closed, and no servants were seen outside.

The prince's eyes lit up when he saw this!

Judging from the way the Shen family is doing, they definitely don't want Shen Wanying to marry Chu Ning, otherwise they would have opened the door to welcome her long ago.

Chu Ning, Chu Ning, I'm going to see how you end up today!

The prince sneered in his heart, but on the surface he looked puzzled: "Strange, why is the door of the Shen Mansion closed, and there is no one coming out to greet me?"

Chu Ning looked guilty, touched his nose, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Maybe Madam Shen doesn't know we are here yet.

Zhao Yu, go knock on the door."

Zhao Yu got the order and immediately dismounted and walked to the gate. He knocked on the doorknob three times and then said loudly:

"His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu has come to marry Princess Qingyang!"

There was no movement in the mansion.

The prince sneered in his heart.

Sure enough, Shen Wanying could not let go of her status as the most talented woman in the Great Chu. Even though her father raised her status, she still could not forgive Chu Ning for accepting two courtesans.

Humph, Chu Ning, you have come to this day!

The prince narrowed his eyes and pretended to be surprised: "Eighteenth brother, what's going on in the Shen Mansion? You are here to welcome the bride, why haven't they come out yet?"

"This..." Chu Ning's face showed anxiety.

The prince didn't wait for him to finish, pretending to be enlightened and asked, "Could it be that Princess Qingyang is unhappy that you, my eighteenth brother, accepted two courtesans, and she doesn't want to get married?"

His voice was so loud that the people watching nearby could hear it.

The people, who were originally in high spirits, immediately started talking about it.

"What's going on with the Shen family? Why haven't they come out yet?"

"Alas, Your Highness the Prince of Chu might have been fooled by the Princess of Great Zhou and shouldn't have accepted those two courtesans."

"Yes, Princess Qingyang is the most talented woman in our dynasty after all. How can she share a husband with others, or even be beaten to the spot by others?"

"It is indeed the King of Chu who is wrong in this matter. Can't he wait for just one day?"

"There is nothing wrong with having three wives and four concubines, but the timing for His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu to accept those two courtesans was wrong."

"The King of Chu has not received royal education, and he does not understand many things, so he is not qualified to be of great use!"

For a moment, everyone pointed their fingers at Chu Ning!

The people who had originally held out hope for Chu Ning now showed expressions of regret.

This scene made the prince very satisfied!

This is what I want!

The prince glanced at Chu Ning and found that Chu Ning was lowering his head at the moment, looking as if he had no idea what to do.

Do you regret it now?

Unfortunately, it's too late!

As long as Shen Wanying doesn't come out today, the wedding will fail and Chu Ning will lose face.

This is what happens if you go against me!

Thinking of the excitement, the prince deliberately said something provocative: "Eighteenth brother, it seems that Princess Qingyang does not want to marry you. This matter is of great importance. I must return to the palace immediately to report to my father!"

Such good news must of course spread throughout Kyoto City immediately!
