Chapter 187 The Crown Princess Goes to Battle Personally
"The prince invites me to a banquet at the East Palace tonight?"
Chu Ning looked at the invitation in his hand with an amused look on his face.
Why would the prince suddenly invite me to a banquet out of the blue?
Although the reason used was to protect the prince's reputation, it was obvious that it was an excuse.
However, this is Kyoto City, and it is impossible for the Crown Prince to attack me directly in the East Palace!
Why not go and see what the prince wants to do.
"Go back and tell the prince that I will be there on time!" Chu Ning handed over the invitation and said to the guards of the East Palace with a smile.
The guard of the East Palace bowed and saluted: "I will go back and report right away!"
But as soon as this person left, Zhao Yu frowned and said, "Your Highness, be careful of fraud."
Chu Ning glanced at the invitation in his hand, and raised his lips slightly: "Don't worry, I know what to do. You and I will go to the party tonight."
After a pause, he turned around and smiled outside the hall, "Go and invite Princess Shen here. I have something to discuss with her."
"Yes!" Zhao Yu responded and went down to make arrangements.
Shen Wanying came early today and brought people to decorate the palace with some things. After a while, she arrived at the living room.
No one knew what they said, but when Shen Wanying came out of the hall, a look of confusion appeared on her face.
The day passed in a flash, and it was already evening.
The cold wind blew through Kyoto City, adding a bit of coolness to the night.
Chu Ning brought Zhao Yu and a team of guards to the East Palace. The prince, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, brightened his eyes and took the initiative to step forward to greet them.
"Hahahaha, Eighteenth Brother is really punctual!"
Chu Ning smiled and said, "Brother Crown Prince is treating us, how dare I not be on time?"
"How can a family say such things!"
The prince pretended to be displeased: "You killed Du Yuanji and protected my reputation. I am holding a banquet tonight to express my gratitude to you, my eighteenth brother."
"Come, come, come in, please. I have prepared some top-quality wine to entertain my Eighteenth Brother tonight."
Under the prince's warm hospitality, Chu Ning was pulled into the palace by him.
Just as Zhao Yu was about to follow, two East Palace guards at the door reached out to stop him.
Zhao Yu frowned and was about to speak, but the prince turned around and smiled, "General Zhao, there is no need to be so nervous. I am just drinking with my eighteenth brother.
You two must not be rude to General Zhao. Take General Zhao down to have a drink and make sure to entertain General Zhao well for me!"
"Yes!" The guard of the East Palace responded and gestured to Zhao Yu, "General Zhao, please go to the side hall."
Zhao Yu was a little unhappy. His duty was to protect the King of Chu. How could he leave at this moment?
But before Zhao Yu could refuse, Chu Ning smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm just attending the banquet. General Zhao, you can go down and enjoy yourself."
As he spoke, Chu Ning gestured to the prince, "Brother Prince, please."
“Hahahaha, together!”
The prince laughed and pulled Chu Ning into the inner hall of the East Palace.
The two of them sat down at the host seat and the guest seat respectively, and the maid brought up the delicious dishes at this moment.
The aroma of wine filled the entire inner hall, and even someone like Chu Ning, who didn't like wine, was shocked by the smell.
Holding it in your hand and smelling it, a mellow aroma of wine flows into your throat, leaving you with an endless aftertaste.
At this time, the prince on the main seat chuckled and said, "Eighteenth brother, why not give it a try."
Chu Ning's eyes lit up, and he immediately picked up the wine glass and took a sip. Suddenly, a strange feeling surged in his heart.
With just a sip of wine, he felt as if his body was on fire, and a restless emotion spread in his heart.
Chu Ning's expression changed slightly: "This wine..."
The prince smiled strangely, holding up the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile: "This wine is brewed with mountain spring water, mixed with adult deer blood, and soaked with adult tiger bones and whip for a year.
This is a medicinal wine. Taking it can increase the strength of the body and strengthen the body. For ordinary people, it can increase the strength of an ox. For martial artists, the effect is even better. "
Chu Ning's eyes lit up: "Is it really that magical?"
"If you don't believe it, you might as well give it a try." The prince looked confident.
Chu Ning raised his eyebrows. He really felt hot all over, as if he had endless energy.
Chu Ning narrowed his eyes, suddenly drank the wine in his hand, and then clenched his right hand suddenly.
"Crack!"
The bronze wine cup was instantly crushed into pieces!
And Chu Ning only used half of his strength.
"Sure enough!"
Chu Ning looked at the prince with shining eyes: "I wonder if you can give some of this wine to me, brother prince?"
He lacks nothing now, except his own strength. If he improves his strength, his life will not be in the hands of Zhao Yu.
The prince was not surprised by this and chuckled, "Since Eighteenth Brother likes it, just bring some back when you go back. However, I invited Eighteenth Brother here tonight not to drink, but to thank you for protecting my reputation!
Come on, some singing and dancing!"
At a command, a group of Kabuki actors slowly came in from outside the hall.
They were all dressed in purple robes, and all of them were gorgeous in appearance and tall in stature. At first glance, it was hard to look away.
Although Chu Ning had seen Shen Wanying's beauty, he was still shocked when he saw so many young and beautiful women for the first time, and he stood there in a daze for a while.
At this moment, the musicians struck their instruments, a melodious sound rang out, and the dancers began to dance.
The dancers who had originally gathered together suddenly dispersed, and waved their sleeves towards the center, highlighting the woman standing still in the middle.
The person was wearing a white gown, and her graceful figure was faintly visible along the white silk, showing temptation.
A pair of beautiful legs are covered with a split skirt, and the elusive spring scenery while dancing is eye-catching.
Looking upwards along those long legs, there is a flat land, and above that is the proud mountain, and beyond the mountain is that beautiful face.
The moment Chu Ning saw the other person, he was stunned.
She is actually the Crown Princess Ling Feiyan!
Chu Ning blinked and shook his head, thinking that he had drunk too much, and tried hard to see the person in front of him clearly.
But when Chu Ning opened his eyes and looked again, it was still Ling Feiyan!
While he was surprised, Ling Feiyan had already danced in front of Chu Ning.
On the main seat, the prince looked at Chu Ning, who was in shock, and said with a calm smile: "My beloved, please toast a few cups to my eighteenth brother on my behalf."
Ling Feiyan took the wine glass from the maid beside her and handed it to Chu Ning with a smile: "Eighteenth brother, thank you for protecting the prince's reputation. This glass of wine is for you."
Chu Ning was flattered and took the wine glass.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ling Feiyan took the opportunity to stroke his hand.
When their delicate skin touched, a cool feeling made Chu Ning's anger rush to his head, and a primitive desire emerged from the bottom of his heart.
Looking at Ling Feiyan who was so close to him, Chu Ning suppressed his anger and drank the wine in one gulp.
I wanted to suppress my anger with the help of alcohol, but after drinking the wine, not only did it not extinguish my anger, but it made my desire even stronger!
Chu Ning's eyes turned red at this moment, and his vision was a little blurry.
