Chapter 423: Eating for Free

Ning Chen leaned forward and said, "I dare to ask your majesty to write a peace agreement. I will also write a letter to explain the reasons and send someone to Wu State to re-sign the contract."

"The Empress of Wu State is reasonable and should not care about such trivial matters!"

Emperor Xuan nodded slightly. This is the only way at present.

Ning Chen continued, "Your Majesty, I found several good things in Wu State. One is glass, which is as transparent as colored glaze and can be installed on windows and doors. It can block wind without affecting lighting."

"There is also toothpaste, which can clean teeth and has a cool taste."

"Another thing is fine salt, which is as fine and white as sand."

"If the two countries trade, Wu State is willing to sell these things to Daxuan... When I came back, I also brought samples, but unfortunately they sank to the bottom of the water with the warship."

The Emperor Xuan was very pleased, "Okay, I will write another peace agreement."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The Emperor Xuan said, "Ning Chen, I promised that when you return from the successful peace talks, I will make you a first-class general... But now the peace agreement is damaged, so this matter will have to wait until the new contract is signed."

Ning Chen looked helpless and leaned over and said, "Yes!"

Fuck! ! !

He was just one step away from the final step, but his legs were weak.

Ning Chen turned his head and glanced at the right prime minister. If it weren't for this old man and the fifth prince, he would have been a first-class general now.

But it doesn't matter, this military rank is already in his pocket.

After the court was dismissed, Ning Chen did not leave the palace. Halfway through, he turned and walked towards the direction of the imperial study.

Emperor Xuan came to the imperial study and just sat down, a little eunuch reported that Ning Chen wanted to see him!

"Let him in!"

"Yes!"

The little eunuch retreated, and Ning Chen walked in a moment later.

"Minister, see your majesty!"

Emperor Xuan smiled and said, "No need to be polite! What do you want to see me for?"

Ning Chen bowed and bowed, "Your Majesty! On the way back to Beijing, the warship was sunk, and I escaped from death... Then, I was chased by a large number of assassins."

Emperor Xuan nodded slightly, this was what Nie Liang had reported to him.

"Your Majesty, those assassins came from a killer organization called Dark Moon Tower... I think the assassination of General Chen was also done by this Dark Moon Tower."

Emperor Xuan nodded, motioning him to continue.

Ning Chen said: "Your Majesty! When General Chen got into trouble, I was in the Ghost Shadow Sect... I think the person who assassinated General Chen was not from the Ghost Shadow Sect, but someone framed him."

"The Ghost Shadow Sect taught me martial arts, so I want to ask for mercy for them."

Emperor Xuan frowned, "You know these assassins are very harmful... Even if they have nothing to do with the assassination of General Chen, I can't tolerate them."

Ning Chen's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the people of the Ghost Shadow Sect are all good at fighting. If they are killed, it would be a pity... I am willing to persuade them to join the army, serve the country, and make up for their crimes."

Emperor Xuan pondered for a moment and said: "The gangsters, how could they be willing to Meaning to serve the country? "

"Your Majesty, I am sure I can convince them... The most important thing is that I want to use them to deal with the Dark Moon Tower. The hatred between the same team is naked. Using the Ghost Shadow Gate to deal with the Dark Moon Tower will achieve twice the result with half the effort!"

The Emperor thought for a while and said, "Since you have pleaded for them, I will give them a chance to redeem themselves for your sake."

"But there is only one chance. If they commit crimes again in the future, I will definitely take off their heads... I will also punish you severely."

Ning Chen knelt down, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

......

Ning Chen came out of the imperial study and wanted to leave the palace, but turned around and went to the Fallen Phoenix Palace.

In the courtyard, the Ninth Princess was dressed in red and dancing with a sword, her skirt flying, as graceful as a startled swan.

The Fifth Prince sat at the stone table, eating snacks in his mouth, and did not forget to applaud the Ninth Princess.

A little maid walked in quickly.

"Princess, Lord Ning wants to see you!"

The Ninth Princess froze and quickly put away her sword. Because of the excessive activity, her little face was flushed and bright.

"He Ye, is my makeup stained?"

He Ye shook her head.

The Ninth Princess put away her sword and told the little palace maid to invite Ning Chen in quickly.

"Yes!"

The little palace maid went out and invited Ning Chen in.

"Meet the princess!"

Ning Chen bowed and then looked at the fifth prince, "Meet the fifth prince!"

The fifth prince showed a pure and honest smile on his face.

He picked a piece of dessert and was reluctant to hand it to Ning Chen.

"Thank you, fifth prince!"

Ning Chen took the dessert and took a bite generously.

If it was outside the palace, he would not dare to eat this dessert.

But this is Luohuang Palace. If something happens to him, the fifth prince's disguise for more than ten years will be in vain.

The Ninth Princess smiled brightly and shyly, looking at Ning Chen, "When did you come back?"

"I just arrived last night." Ning Chen stepped forward and took the Ninth Princess's hand, "I've been away for almost three months, did the princess miss me?"

The Ninth Princess was shy, "Let go quickly, everyone is watching."

"Just watch if you want, holding the hand of your future wife is natural, don't worry about being gossiped about."

"Did you miss me?"

The Ninth Princess blushed and hummed softly.

Ning Chen smiled and said, "I miss the princess all the time when I'm outside."

As he said, he took out a silk handkerchief from his arms and opened it to reveal a red hairpin.

"This was found in a shop in my Wu country. It is the treasure of that shop. The shopkeeper refused to sell it, but I wanted to give it to the princess, so I had to take a risk."

"I dropped the silver, snatched the red hairpin and ran away... The shopkeeper let the dog chase me, chasing me for three streets."

The Ninth Princess opened her mouth with surprise.

"Does the princess like it?"

"Yes! Didn't you get bit by the dog?"

The Ninth Princess' eyes were slightly red, and she was so moved that she was wet.

Ning Chen shook her head, glanced at the Fifth Prince, and then turned back and said, "No, the dog was too fat, and I ran fast, so the dog couldn't catch up with me."

Ning Chen said, and put the red hairpin on the Ninth Princess himself, nodded with satisfaction, "It's so beautiful!"

The Ninth Princess was moved and happy!

"Wait for me!"

After the Ninth Princess finished speaking, she turned around and walked into the room with the lotus leaf.

After a while, the two came out carrying a box. The box was not big, but I don't know what was inside? It looked very heavy.

Ning Chen hurried forward and took the box.

The Ninth Princess smiled and said, "Open it and take a look. Do you like it?"

Ning Chen was surprised, "For me?"

The Ninth Princess nodded.

Ning Chen carried the box to the stone table and put it down. When he opened it, he was stunned.

The box was full of gold ingots.

Ning Chen looked at the Ninth Princess in surprise... What does that mean? Is this asking him to eat for free?

The Ninth Princess smiled and said, "I heard that you have been supporting the nursery. There are so many people in the family, and the expenses must be very high."

"I am in the palace, I have everything I need, and I don't have many opportunities to go out of the palace, nor do I have the opportunity to spend money... I give these to you, buy whatever you like? I just don't know if you like it?"

Ning Chen nodded repeatedly, "I like it, I like it very much! I like this kind of simple and unpretentious things."

The Ninth Princess was full of joy, as long as Ning Chen liked it. Just now she was still worried that she didn't prepare a gift for Ning Chen seriously, and was afraid that he would blame her for not caring about him.
