Chapter 134 Is My Daughter so Bad?
Ning Chen also felt that he had gone too far!
He walked over.
"Uh... Princess, I was just joking. How about you hit me twice to vent your anger?"
The Ninth Princess snorted and turned her head away.
Ning Chen smiled bitterly. Why did he bother with a child?
"Princess, actually there is one last sentence in my poem just now... It flies into the reeds and disappears!"
The Ninth Princess did not appreciate it at all, "No, not at all... You are clearly perfunctory to me. Compared with the poems you wrote before, this one is too bad!"
"Then I will write another one for the princess?"
"No... Go away, I don't want to see you anymore!"
Ning Chen looked helpless and leaned over and said, "Okay, I'll take my leave!"
Ning Chen was about to turn around and leave when he heard a cough from the door, and then the door curtain was lifted, and Emperor Xuan walked in with Eunuch Quan.
Damn it! ! !
When did Emperor Xuan come? Why didn't the guards and maids outside report it?
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects!"
Ning Chen saluted quickly.
Emperor Xuan looked at him expressionlessly.
Ning Chen's heart was beating fast. Did Emperor Xuan hear what he said before?
Emperor Xuan looked at him, "Ning Chen, is my daughter so bad?"
This bastard actually dared to say that his daughter couldn't get married... He wasted all his efforts.
Ning Chen was dumbfounded!
Emperor Xuan really heard what he said... Could he have been hiding outside the door and eavesdropping?
"Your Majesty! Her Highness Princess is stunningly beautiful and talented... She is both beautiful and intelligent, and no one can compare to her."
Emperor Xuan snorted coldly!
"You just said that no one wants my daughter?"
Ning Chen was in a state of panic and said hurriedly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I just made a slip of the tongue and I didn't mean it!"
"Then if I betroth Huai'an to you, will you think I am too cruel?"
Ning Chen: "???"
Emperor Xuan narrowed his eyes, "Why, I betrothed Huai'an to you, and wronged you?"
"No, no, no... But who am I? I am neither good at literature nor martial arts, how dare I marry a princess? I will ruin the princess' happiness."
Fuck! ! !
Only a fool would marry a princess.
There are too many broken rules in the royal family. After marriage, you have to pay your respects to the princess on time three times a day.
Even if you want to be intimate, you have to ask for permission a few days in advance and the princess must agree.
The most important thing is that if you marry a princess, you can't take a concubine...What about Yudie?
In this comparison, Yudie is gentle and considerate, understanding, well-behaved and sensible, and she is simply too sweet.
Emperor Xuan's face became even uglier, thinking that my daughter is so disgusting to you? Not hesitating to belittle himself
"Ning Chen humiliated the Ninth Princess and offended the royal family... Quan Sheng, take him down and punish him with thirty strokes of the cane. You will personally supervise the punishment."
Ning Chen's heart jumped and he was torn apart!
"Your Majesty, please be merciful... I will be going to war in two days. If I get injured, I am afraid it will delay my trip."
Emperor Xuan snorted coldly: "It doesn't matter! I have calculated for you. It will take you about five days to reach Lingzhou by boat. Including these two days, it will be a total of seven days. By the time you get there, your injuries will be almost healed."
Ning Chen: "???"
Fuck... Does this mean that you have to beat me?
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ning Chen smiled bitterly, feeling very dissatisfied.
But what else can he do?
The imperial power is supreme. If His Majesty wants to beat you, not only can you not resist, but you have to say thank you!
Eunuch Quan glanced at His Majesty and saw that His Majesty gave him a look, and he immediately understood... His Majesty was not really going to punish Ning Chen, but was just scaring him.
"Mr. Ning, come with me."
Ning Chen stood up helplessly and was about to go with Eunuch Quan to get the board, only to hear the Ninth Princess say:
"Father, was Ning Chen joking with me just now? He didn't humiliate me... Father, please don't beat him?"
"He came to help me make a kite, but he was beaten. How wronged!"
Ning Chen looked at the Ninth Princess gratefully. Although this little brat was a little bit willful, he was still kind at heart.
The Ninth Princess glared at him.
Ning Chen could only smile bitterly helplessly. It seemed that this little brat had a grudge against him.
Emperor Xuan looked at Ning Chen, "Huaian pleaded for you, don't you have anything to say?"
"Minister, thank you, Princess! The princess is really beautiful and kind, everyone loves her, and flowers bloom when she sees her..."
Princess Nine couldn't help but burst out laughing, "You are so smooth-talking, I think you deserve to be beaten."
Emperor Xuan raised his mouth slightly and looked at Ning Chen... This kid obviously has a good mouth, why can't he open his mind?
"Okay, since Huai'an pleaded for you, I will temporarily spare you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ning Chen hurriedly thanked him, and it was a close call... He almost got beaten.
"Don't be happy too early... You made Huai'an angry, you must make her happy, otherwise I will still punish you."
Ning Chen's forehead was black.
How to make her happy? Sing a lullaby to her?
Seeing Ning Chen was like a piece of wood, Emperor Xuan was very angry... This kid, he is useless even if he is given a chance.
"The poem you just wrote was not good enough... I will punish you to write another one."
"If you write well, I will forgive you...If you write badly, you will be punished with thirty strokes of the cane."
Emperor Xuan was not afraid that his daughter would not be able to get married.
The reason why he wanted to marry the ninth princess to Ning Chen was to tie him up tightly.
Ning Chen was talented and was now regarded as a poet in the capital. When his reputation spread far and wide, he would be famous in the literary world of Daxuan, and he would have great power.
Moreover, General Chen said that he has the talent of a great general... Such a person is too outstanding. Only by making him a member of the royal family can he completely trust him and leave him to the prince.
Ning Chen breathed a sigh of relief. It was just a poem. As long as he didn't get beaten, it would be fine.
"I obey your order!"
Emperor Xuan asked, "How long will it take to write it?"
"I have already written it!"
Emperor Xuan was surprised. Don't you even have to think about it?
"Get up and talk."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ning Chen stood up, then tidied his clothes and said:
"The wind and snow have oppressed me for three or two years, and I laugh at the wind and snow as light as cotton."
"People say that the flowers in the capital are like brocade, but it's not spring when I come."
Emperor Xuan and the Ninth Princess trembled inexplicably.
This poem has nothing to do with snow. It uses objects to describe people and expresses the depression in their hearts.
The Ninth Princess looked at Ning Chen with some distress. She heard from her brother, the prince, that Ning Chen had a hard time in the Ning family before, and he was writing about himself.
Emperor Xuan sighed softly: "Good poem... but the artistic conception is a bit heavy."
Ning Chen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, did I pass the test?"
"You passed the test... Ning Chen, you are talented, Huai'an also likes poetry, you are of similar age, I promise you can visit Huai'an in the palace at any time after returning from the expedition."
The Ninth Princess was stunned, and suddenly her face turned red. She vaguely guessed what her father meant?
Ning Chen was madly complaining in his heart...Aren't you making things difficult for me, Fat Tiger? Go and handle government affairs when you have nothing to do, don't mess around with couples, okay?
"Minister, obey the order!"
Emperor Xuan nodded with satisfaction, "It's time for lunch, Ning Chen stay to eat with me... Quansheng, send the meal to Luohuang Palace, I will eat here today!"
