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

"Bet? With you?"

Ni Heng seemed to have heard a huge joke. He was first surprised and then burst into laughter.

The laughter was deafening, like the beating of drums, causing unbearable pain in the eardrums.

Zhao Feiyan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a look of satisfaction.

This Ni Heng is different. With one move, he made Mrs. Shen faint from anger, forcing Shen Wanying to take care of her.

Now only Chu Ning is left to face Ni Heng alone!

Chu Ning was born in the common people and had never received any education. How could such a person possibly surpass Ni Heng, who was known as a child prodigy, in literary attainments?

The only trouble is whether the emperor will agree to this!

After Nie Heng finished laughing while thinking, he looked at Chu Ning with contempt: "Comparing literature with a bastard like you is a disgrace to me!

You don't know anything, what can you use to bet with Benshan people? If you agree to this, Benshan people will be laughed at even if they win. "

The emperor also said in a deep voice at this moment: "Chu Ning, don't act recklessly, go to the backyard and see how Madam Shen is doing!"

If you really don't understand the purpose of Zhao Feiyan's invitation to you to come here, then you are unworthy of being the emperor.

He couldn't continue to get entangled with Ni Heng at this moment, otherwise, with Chu Ning's ability, he would definitely be severely humiliated by Ni Heng.

However, the prince stood up at this moment and said in a deep voice: "Father, since you want to prove Princess Shen's talent, if you don't meet his request, I'm afraid today's matter will not end well."

After saying that, the prince took two steps forward, approached the emperor and whispered, "Anyway, Chu Ning has no knowledge, so even if he loses to Ni Heng, outsiders won't say anything."

This guy Chu Ning has caused me to lose face so many times, suffer so many punishments, and cheated me out of so much money. I absolutely cannot let him have it easy this time!

The emperor raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and felt a little moved.

Everyone knows Ni Heng's temper and personality. If you don't let him achieve his goal, he might turn around and write poems to mock you!

However, today is Chu Ning's engagement day. If Chu Ning loses to Ni Heng at this moment, it will be detrimental to Chu Ning's reputation if it gets out.

When he was hesitant, the second prince stepped forward and said with a smile: "Father, let the eighteenth brother try!"

The other princes had all been cheated by Chu Ning, so when they saw someone taking the lead, they immediately followed suit.

For a moment, the emperor had no choice.

"Okay, since you all agree with Chu Ning's suggestion, let Chu Ning give it a try."

The emperor waved his hands in a somewhat disappointed manner, but in his heart he was thinking about how to leave after Chu Ning lost to Ni Heng.

But, you just refused to do it.

"When did I agree to compete with the Prince of Penglai?"

Ni Heng sneered: "With his talent, he is totally unqualified to be compared with Benshanren!"

Humiliation, this is a severe humiliation of Chu Ning in front of everyone.

Everyone knows that Chu Ning is the emperor's illegitimate son. Saying that Chu Ning's talent is not qualified is just embarrassing Chu Ning's background!

Zhao Feiyan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a look of satisfaction.

Ni Heng's fighting ability is really beyond expectations!

First, he made Mrs. Shen faint, then he scared Shen Wanying away, and now he wants to humiliate Chu Ning.

Humph, I finally got my revenge for the snake bite I just got!

Chu Ning, this princess is waiting to see how you will be ruined today!

However, simply humiliating Chu Ning like this would be too easy for him. He must trample Chu Ning's face and reputation under his feet.

With a slight smile, Zhao Feiyan persuaded Ni Heng, "Mr. Ni, calm down. The background of the Prince of Penglai is not good to begin with, so it is normal that he does not understand these things.

However, since he is Princess Shen's fiancé, he naturally has to protect Princess Shen's reputation at this moment.

How about this, you guys just compete casually, so that the Prince of Penglai can give an explanation to Princess Shen!"

Zhao Feiyan thought her persuasion would work, but she glanced at her and said calmly, "I don't want to bully people who don't understand literature!"

Zhao Feiyan's expression changed slightly.

Although Ni Heng was invited by her, he had a strange temper and she could do nothing about him.

Just when Zhao Feiyan was distressed, Chu Ning sneered and said, “I think you don’t dare to compete with me!

To tell you the truth, during these days of being with Wanying, she taught me a lot, and I didn’t expect that I would be able to put it to good use today!"

His talent must not be exposed, so he could only blame it on Shen Wanying.

Anyway, Shen Wanying is the most talented woman in Da Chu. With this title as a shield, no one will doubt it.

As for this guy Ni Heng, he must be taught a lesson today!

If he dares to cause trouble at the engagement party, then let him be ruined!

Sure enough, when this person appeared, the arrogant Ni Heng became furious, and a ferocious look appeared on his face.

"Okay, okay, I didn't want to make a big deal out of this, but since you said that Miss Shen taught you, then let me see how capable the people she taught are!"

Ni Heng stared at Chu Ning and sneered, "Tell me, how do you want to compete?"

He was confident in his talent and was full of confidence no matter what Chu Ning wanted to compete in.

Chu Ning stared at Ni Heng coldly: "Today is my engagement party. To save time, let's compare pairs. As long as you can match my pair, you win!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

"Where does the Prince of Penglai get such confidence?"

"Couplet writing is the most basic art for scholars, and he actually dared to make such a request."

"Alas, His Royal Highness was born in the common people after all, so he must not understand literature, which is why he proposed the simplest competition."

"I thought the Prince of Penglai would have a plan to deal with this, but now it seems that His Royal Highness is just messing around."

When the emperor heard what the crowd said, his face suddenly became gloomy.

The reason I agreed to this was because of Chu Ning's strange personality, and I thought Chu Ning would have a unique way to compete with Ni Heng.

But when he heard the couplet, the emperor could not hide the disappointment on his face.

It’s a sure loss, it’s a sure loss!

The emperor shook his head, feeling that he had overestimated Chu Ning.

The prince had a calm expression on his face, but he was extremely happy inside.

Couplets, huh, this is something you have been playing since you were very young, and now you still want to compete with others, you really don’t know your own limitations.

Chu Ning, I'm just waiting to be humiliated by you after you lose!

Thinking of the happy things, the prince couldn't help but smile.

Zhao Feiyan on the side even laughed out loud at this moment.

"So Lord Shen taught His Royal Highness the Prince a couplet. That's right. His Royal Highness was born in the common people, so he definitely doesn't know how to write poems that are too profound!"

"Mr. Ni, His Royal Highness the Prince has already spoken. What do you think?" Zhao Feiyan looked at Ni Heng with a smile.

Ni Heng looked disdainful and said, "Couplet? I could do it when I was five years old! I don't want to bully the weak, but since the prince took the initiative to propose it, and it was taught by the most talented woman in Chu, I would like to see what kind of couplet this is!"

Chu Ning was already aware of this man's arrogance, and he didn't care about his contemptuous expression. Instead, he said calmly: "This pair is an eternal absolute, you definitely can't match it!"

Ni Heng laughed loudly: "Really? That's just because you are shallow-minded. Today, I want to let you know what it means that there are always people better than you. Tell me your first couplet!"

Under the gaze of everyone, Chu Ning slowly uttered five words: "Smoke locks the pond willows!"
