Chapter 514 I Know He Is Cursing, but I Have No Evidence!

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at Concubine De. If she wasn't the woman of His Majesty, he would have slapped her long ago.

But he still didn't understand whether Concubine De was targeting him or Concubine Zhen and her daughter?

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

Just as Ning Chen was thinking, the voice of the spy Quan Gonggong sounded.

The people present hurriedly knelt down to greet him.

Emperor Xuan walked into the hall with a square step, followed by Eunuch Quan and the prince.

"Your Majesty, I (your servants) respectfully welcome you, Your Majesty, may you be blessed and safe!" Welcome

Emperor Xuan walked inside, raised his hand and said, "Everyone get up, today is a family dinner, everyone doesn't need to be so restrained!"

Suddenly, Emperor Xuan paused and smiled, "Ning Chen, what are you kneeling there for? Your seat is in front, come with me."

"Your Majesty, I am paying homage to Concubine Zhen, and by the way, I wrote a poem for Concubine De!"

Emperor Xuan was slightly startled.

Paying homage to Concubine Zhen, but writing a poem for Concubine De? What kind of operation is this?

"Ning Chen, what masterpiece have you written this time? Tell us so that we can all appreciate it."

Ning Chen bowed his head, "Your Majesty, obey your order!"

After saying that, Ning Chen suddenly pointed at Concubine De and shouted, "This woman is not a human being...!"

The whole place was shocked!

Everyone was scared out of their wits by Ning Chen's rebellious words.

Even Emperor Xuan's expression froze.

Ning Chen scolded the Imperial Concubine, your majesty's woman, the mother of the prince...This is simply a rebellion against the heavens.

Even if you, Ning Chen, are a powerful prince, you can't scold the Imperial Concubine, and you scold her so bluntly, without any detours.

"You, you dare to insult me? Rebellion, rebellion... Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for me. Ning Chen is a traitor and doesn't take you seriously at all."

Emperor Xuan looked at Ning Chen with a stern face.

Ning Chen hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I only read the first sentence, and I haven't finished it yet."

Emperor Xuan said, "Continue!"

"Minister, obey your order!" Ning Chen pointed at Concubine De and said, "This woman is not a human being, a fairy from the Ninth Heaven descended to the mortal world."

Hmm?

This way, it seems... or sounds like a curse.

But if you say it's a curse, the second sentence is clearly a compliment.

But if you say it's a compliment, the first sentence is really a curse.

Everyone's expression was weird. They all saw Concubine De making things difficult for Ning Chen just now.

Ning Chen wrote this poem, it is definitely a curse... But you can't find any fault, there is no evidence!

Ning Chen shouted again: "Raising a son will be a thief...!"

Everyone was stunned again!

Good guy, this time even the prince was scolded.

Ning Chen coughed, and then said: "Raising a son will be a thief, stealing the fairy peaches to offer to the emperor."

Everyone's expression was stiff and weird.

They didn't know whether to applaud or criticize Ning Chen.

You say he cursed, but he made up for it later.

But this poem sounds awkward.

Emperor Xuan looked at Concubine De, whose face was ashen, and then looked at Ning Chen, his eyes flickered. It seemed that something happened before he came.

But Emperor Xuan couldn't judge the quality of this poem.

He knew Ning Chen did it on purpose.

He snorted and said, "On my birthday, this kind of doggerel is not allowed... I punish you to write another one before the banquet ends."

Ning Chen knelt on the ground and said, "Yes, I obey your order!"

"I wish your majesty to be as constant as the moon and as rising as the sun. As long-lived as the Nanshan Mountain, never collapsing. As luxuriant as pine and cypress, all of you may inherit it."

Emperor Xuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

When this brat is not doing bad things, his words are still very pleasant.

"Okay, get up! Follow me."

Ning Chen followed Emperor Xuan and came to the front to take a seat.

Concubine De's face was ashen, and turned into the color of liver.

She only remembered the first and third sentences of the poem just now... the second and fourth sentences were ignored by herself.

She felt that she had suffered a great humiliation.

The other concubines lowered their heads, not daring to offend, and could only secretly laugh in their hearts.

It can be seen that this De Guifei is very unpopular in the harem.

Next, it is the gift-giving session.

The princes and ministers, the concubines in the harem, the princes and princesses, all gave their gifts.

This is actually a comparison session!

Ning Chen drooled, because the gifts everyone gave were mainly rare and valuable!

Although there is nothing new, it is expensive.

However, Emperor Xuan has little interest in these things. It is the same every year, and he really can't get interested.

He looked at Ning Chen, "Ning Chen, what gift did you bring for my birthday?"

He guessed that Ning Chen's gift must be more innovative than others.

Ning Chen stood up and bowed his head, smiling and said, "I brought a heavy heart."

Emperor Xuan's expression froze slightly.

A heavy heart?

This is too innovative.

The others were all frowning. Only Ning Chen dared to say such shameless words.

Ning Chen took off the bag on his back and said with a smile: "In addition to a heavy gift, I also brought this."

"Bring it to me, let me see what it is?"

Ning Chen stood up, put the bag in front of Emperor Xuan, and then opened it.

Everyone took a look and their faces changed drastically.

Because it was a crossbow.

But no one said anything?

Because Ning Chen had the privilege of bringing weapons to the emperor.

They forgot whether there was any, anyway, His Majesty gave Ning Chen too many privileges.

If it were an ordinary person, let alone a crossbow, even if he brought a knife, it would be a serious crime of assassinating the king and killing the emperor, and he would be killed on the spot.

Emperor Xuan was a little confused. He didn't expect that the gift Ning Chen sent was a crossbow.

"Ning Chen, this crossbow looks different from ordinary crossbows!"

Ning Chen smiled and said, "Your Majesty is indeed a wise man. I have made some changes to this crossbow. Ordinary crossbows can only shoot one arrow. After my changes, this crossbow can shoot ten arrows in a row. I call it a continuous crossbow."

In fact, the crossbow Ning Chen gave to Emperor Xuan was not a Zhuge continuous crossbow at all, because the real Zhuge continuous crossbow was too large and could not be operated by one person.

However, this crossbow did draw on the principle of Zhuge continuous crossbow, but because it was small, its lethality was relatively weakened...But within five meters, its power was still amazing, and it was continuous, making it impossible for the enemy to avoid it.

Emperor Xuan became interested, "Continuous firing? Does it mean that after shooting an arrow, you don't need to reload it?"

Ning Chen nodded, "Yes, after shooting an arrow, the arrows in the quiver below will pop up by themselves, just pull the trigger!"

"I want to equip all the palace guards with this kind of crossbow, which can better protect your majesty's safety."

Emperor Xuan smiled and said, "Ning Chen, show me a demonstration."

Ning Chen nodded, "I obey your command!"

After that, he looked at Eunuch Quan and said with a smile, "There is no expert in this palace, otherwise, please stand ten meters away with an apple on your head, and I will show you how to shoot ten arrows through the heart."

Eunuch Quan: "???"

Since it's a piercing through the heart, why do you need an apple? You can shoot directly at my heart, you don't need ten arrows, just one arrow will do.

He suspected that Ning Chen didn't want to take care of him in his old age and wanted to kill him in advance.

Emperor Xuan said unhappily, "Don't be silly, just shoot at the pillar over there."
