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

"What, you are so arrogant!"

When the emperor suddenly heard the name, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes and his face looked a little ugly.

Chu Ning noticed the emperor's expression and couldn't help but look surprised.

How could a mere name make the emperor look so frightened?

Just as he was about to ask Shen Wanying who was standing beside him, the ministers present started to make a commotion.

"It's actually this person, this...what should I do?"

"Yes, this person has always been rude, and he is unscrupulous because of his fame and talent."

"This is troublesome. I didn't expect Zhao Feiyan to find this person."

"I'm afraid that today's engagement banquet of the Penglai County Prince will be ruined."

Chu Ning heard every word of the ministers' words, and they also made him interested in Ni Heng.

"Wanying, who is this Ni Heng?" Chu Ning leaned close to Shen Wanying's ear and asked in a low voice.

The masculine scent rushed into her mouth and nose, and Shen Wanying's face turned red instantly.

But she knew that she couldn't be reserved at this moment. Your sudden arrival would be extremely disadvantageous to her and Chu Ning!

With a long sigh, Shen Wanying slowly said: "Ni Heng was able to read at the age of two, composed poems at the age of three, and compose verses at the age of six. He was famous all over the world at the age of ten and was known as a child prodigy.

However, this person has always been proud of his talent and was extremely arrogant. Not only did he reject many dynasties' recruitments, he even wrote many poems to satirize the other party.

Even our emperor once sent someone to recruit this person, but this person wrote a poem to satirize His Majesty's love of women, which led to so many princes competing for favor and causing chaos in the court!"

Chu Ning's mouth twitched.

Are there such brave people in this world?

"Is there no one who can cure him?"

Chu Ning was puzzled: "Writing poems to satirize the emperor is a serious crime!"

But Shen Wanying shook her head: "After all, this man is a world-renowned Confucian scholar, and he is a disciple of the great Confucian scholar Mr. Sima. If we kill him, Mr. Sima will definitely be unhappy, and other Confucian scholars and writers in the world will not dare to come to us for help."

Chu Ning finally reacted after hearing this.

It’s all about reputation and face.

Even though Ni Heng had done many outrageous things, the emperors of various dynasties were concerned about their reputations and naturally did not dare to kill him.

While thinking, Zhao Feiyan chuckled: "Why, His Majesty the Emperor of Great Chu doesn't like this person? If so, this princess can let him leave."

The emperor's mouth twitched.

Now that they are here, asking them to leave now would only give them a reason to scold you.

"Let him in!" The emperor looked helpless.

"Xuan, you are here to see me!"

As Zhao Ming's shrill voice rang out, a thin man in a green gown slowly entered the mansion from outside.

This person looked very ordinary, but his face was full of pride. A few strands of hair had fallen from his crown, making him look a little sloppy.

When the ministers at the scene saw this person, their faces looked a little ugly, but he ignored them and went straight to the emperor's table.

He casually bowed and saluted: "My hermit, you greet His Majesty the Emperor of Great Chu!"

Although the emperor disliked this man, he smiled for the sake of face and said, "I have heard of your reputation as a great talent for a long time, and I didn't expect to meet you here today. Come, please take a seat!"

"No need!"

Ni Heng waved his right hand and said, "I came here today to see that the most talented woman in Chu is worthy of her title!"

His eyes swept across everyone at the scene and finally fell on Shen Wanying.

The only women at this table were the Queen, Madam Shen, Zhao Feiyan and Shen Wanying. The first two were obviously not of the right age, and he knew Zhao Feiyan. Only the woman in front of him, who looked gentle and was dressed richly, was the most suitable.

"She looks pretty good!"

Ni Heng smiled contemptuously: "However, since ancient times, beautiful women have always been the cause of trouble. I wonder if your reputation as the most talented woman in Chu is also due to your beauty!"

After these words were spoken, Shen Wanying's face turned a little ugly.

Chu Ning frowned and was about to speak, but Mrs. Shen, who was very angry, refused to listen.

It’s okay that his daughter was taken away by a pig, after all, the other party is a prince.

But now anyone dares to humiliate her daughter like this. Does she really think that her Shen family is made of clay?

"presumptuous!"

Madam Shen's face was filled with rage. She stood up and pointed her finger at Ni Heng, angrily saying, "Where did this lunatic come from? How dare you talk nonsense like this!"

"Crazy guy?"

Ni Heng raised his head to the sky and laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, everyone knows that I, Ni Heng, am a lunatic. It's not an exaggeration to say that I am a madman!

But you, old woman, the hermit is not here to look for you, why are you so anxious?

The hermit just wanted to see the ability of the most talented woman in Da Chu. If she couldn't perform well, then there was no need for this title.

You are so anxious, are you aware that she has no real talent or knowledge, and this title is actually obtained by attracting men with this appearance?"

Mrs. Shen was a woman and was not good at speaking. After hearing what Ni Heng said, her blood immediately boiled.

"you you……"

The finger pointing at Ni Heng kept trembling, and he couldn't swallow the anger in his throat. Finally, he closed his eyes and fell backwards.

Fortunately, Feng Mulan behind her was quick-witted and reached out to support her, preventing Mrs. Shen from falling to the ground.

When Shen Wanying saw her mother faint, a trace of worry appeared on her delicate face, and she immediately rushed over: "Mother, mother!"

Chu Ning frowned: "Someone, help the old lady to the backyard immediately!"

Immediately, four maids came forward and carried Mrs. Shen away. Shen Wanying was worried that something had happened to her mother, so she naturally followed them.

But when Ni Heng saw this scene, instead of sympathizing, he sneered: "A few words have led to this? If you had known this would happen, why would you have stood up and spoken?

Also, Shen Wanying actually followed him. She must be worried that the hermit would find out her true strength, so she deliberately avoided him!"

Chu Ning's face suddenly turned gloomy.

This is extremely rude of you.

Instead of sympathizing with someone who fainted, people kept mocking him.

Such an arrogant person is really unheard of!

"Your name is Ni Heng, right?"

Chu Ning changed his playful expression and put on a stern look.

Ni Heng raised his eyebrows, turned his head and looked at Chu Ning, looked him up and down, nodded and said proudly: "Yes, it is the hermit, I guess you are the Prince of Penglai?"

Chu Ning sneered: "Since you know it's me, why don't you bow?"

Ni Heng laughed loudly: "You are just an illegitimate son of the emperor left behind among the people. You were lucky enough to marry Shen Wanying, the most talented woman in the Great Chu State, but you are sent to the front line as a scapegoat. Why should I show respect to someone like you?"

"In vain?"

Chu Ning narrowed his eyes, and a hint of coldness flashed across his face: "So, you think Wanying's title of the most talented woman in Great Chu is false?"

Ni Heng shrugged: "Isn't the result obvious? They avoid me when they see me. If this isn't fake, what else can it be?"

Chu Ning sneered: "Do you dare to make a bet with me? If I lose to you in poetry and song, I will approve of your words!

If you lose, I want you to kneel down and apologize!"

Such an arrogant person must be made to pay the price!
