The Return of the Demon

Chapter 790 There Is No Place to Spend Money in the Mountains, Please Help Me Spend Money

In the following days, the Ministry of Rites was busy preparing for the wedding of the Fourth Prince and the Seventh Princess of Gaoli Kingdom!

The Ministry of Rites was busy for more than 20 days and finally prepared everything.

The wedding date was also set, and it was set on the 28th of this month.

There were only three days left until the wedding date!

On the wedding day, the whole city was under martial law.

The Fourth Prince's wedding was very grand. After all, it was related to the relationship between the two countries and could not be taken lightly.

The wedding lasted from dusk to late at night.

Ning Chen returned home in the late night and was drunk.

He slept until the next morning... Ning Chen got up and ate something, then rode his horse into the palace.

Go to pay respects to Emperor Xuan first.

Emperor Xuan is in good spirits now, his body has basically recovered, and with the Fourth Prince's wedding, he is in a good mood and looks radiant.

Ning Chen came to the courtyard where Liu Baiyi lived.

During this period, he came here whenever he was free.

After spending some time together, he found that Liu Baiyi was a cold-faced but warm-hearted person, but he was a little arrogant... He usually disliked him very much, but in fact, he still admired him in his heart.

As long as Ning Chen asked for advice on martial arts, he would patiently give instructions.

The old Taoist priest was also here.

These two were both top masters, and they also loved to drink. They had no other friends in the palace, so they often got together to drink.

"Old Taoist priest, Senior Liu!"

Ning Chen walked over and said hello, then sat down and picked up the jar to fill the two people with wine.

These two really loved to drink, and they started drinking in the morning.

The old Taoist priest looked at Ning Chen and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you came at the right time. I just want to see you for something."

"Please go ahead, old Taoist priest."

The old Taoist priest said: "Now that His Majesty has recovered, it's time for the two of us to say goodbye!"

Ning Chen was startled and said hurriedly: "Old Taoist priest, Senior Liu... You have been living in the palace since you came to Beijing. I haven't had the chance to treat you to a meal or a drink, nor have I had the chance to take you around the capital.

How about this, you stay at my house for a few days, and I will take you around and taste the food in the capital?"

The old Taoist priest shook his head, "Forget it, I have been away from Shenyou Temple for a long time, and I have to go back to take a look. Liu Baiyi likes quietness, and the capital is too noisy, which is not suitable for him."

Liu Baiyi nodded slightly.

The old Taoist priest smiled and said, "Your Highness is very talented. The Immortal Sword Art is a superior martial art. Your Highness has already mastered it... If you want to make further progress, you have to rely on your own understanding. The guidance of others is not very effective."

Ning Chen nodded silently. He stood up and bowed: "Thank you, old Taoist priest, thank you, Senior Liu... I will never forget your kindness!

Since you are leaving, I will not force you to stay... I will visit you when I have the chance.

When do the old Taoist priest and Senior Liu plan to leave the capital?"

The old Taoist priest said, "Tomorrow!"

"So soon?" Ning Chen thought for a moment and said, "Then I will take you to resign from His Majesty now!"

Ning Chen brought the old Taoist priest and Liu Baiyi to the imperial study to meet him.

When he heard that the old Taoist priest and Liu Baiyi were here to resign, Emperor Xuan was reluctant to let them go and wanted to ask them to stay and serve the royal family.

But the old Taoist priest refused because they were just gangsters and could not stand the constraints of rules!

Emperor Xuan saw that the two were determined to leave, so he stopped forcing them.

He gave each of them 10,000 taels of gold, as well as silk, gold, silver, jade and other things.

The two thanked him!

When they came out of the imperial study, they exchanged the things given by Emperor Xuan for fifty jars of wine from Ning Chen.

Ning Chen was speechless, "Old Taoist priest, Senior Liu, do you know how much wine can be bought with the things given by His Majesty?"

The old Taoist priest laughed and said casually, "I am a cultivator and I am not interested in these yellow and white things... I heard that the prince has been funding the construction of a nursery to give those orphans a home. These things are what I, the old man, give to those children."

Liu Baiyi was even cooler and said, "There is no place to spend money in the mountains, so you can help me spend it."

Ning Chen leaned over, "Then I would be disrespectful to refuse it!"

That afternoon, Ning Chen took the old Taoist priest and Liu Baiyi out of the palace.

In the evening, Ning Chen held a banquet at Tianfulou.

There was no one else, only the three of them.

Originally, Ning Chen planned to host a banquet at home, but Liu Baiyi didn't like crowds, so he changed to Tianfulou and asked for a private room.

Ning Chen naturally couldn't drink more than the old Taoist priest and Liu Baiyi, but he knew a lot of tricks to avoid drinking, so he could keep up.

The three of them toasted each other, and it was late at night before they knew it.

Ning Chen asked the two to go back to Ning Mansion with him, but was rejected.

The three of them drank a lot, and Ning Chen was dizzy, so he simply booked three rooms in the inn next to Tianfulou.

Anyway, he was abstaining from sex, and sleeping in an inn was the same as sleeping at home.

He planned to take the old Taoist priest and Liu Baiyi for a good walk when he woke up tomorrow.

Ning Chen slept until noon.

When he got up to find the old Taoist priest and Liu Baiyi, he learned that they had left in the morning!

Ning Chen was a little disappointed, and he was still thinking about taking them around the capital, and the two of them didn't take the wine he prepared.

In the next few days, the afterglow of the fourth prince's wedding passed!

Jin Dongxing also began to prepare to return to Gaoli Kingdom!

Emperor Xuan's dragon body has completely recovered, and Tantai Qingyue and Zisu have also returned to Ning Mansion.

Ning Mansion has returned to its former bustle.

That day, Ning Chen was still sleeping, and a knock on the door woke him up.

"What's wrong?"

"Your Highness, Lord Li from the Ministry of Justice and Lord Ji from the Ministry of War want to see you!"

Ning Chen looked strange. The court should have just ended, but they didn't go home but came to his house. Did something happen in the court?

Get up, dress, wash and go to the hall.

Li Zhixing and Ji Mingchen were drinking tea. When they saw Ning Chen come in, they hurriedly put down their teacups and stood up to salute.

"Your Highness, the Commander-in-Chief!"

Ning Chen waved his hand, "No need to be polite, sit down!"

Li Zhixing and Ji Mingchen looked at each other, and then Ji Mingchen said, "Your Highness, something big has happened!"

Ning Chen looked at him, "What big thing has happened?"

Ji Mingchen looked anxious and said, "At the morning court today, His Majesty suddenly issued an edict of abdication. His Majesty wants to give up the throne..."

Ning Chen was shocked, "So soon?"

Ji Mingchen and Li Zhixing looked at Ning Chen together.

"Your Majesty has known about this for a long time?"

Ning Chen nodded, "Your Majesty has said before that he will give up the throne to the prince when the dragon body recovers... I just didn't expect it to be so soon."

Ning Chen really admired Emperor Xuan's courage. That was the dragon throne, representing the supreme power, and he just said he didn't want it.

In the history he knew, there were many cases of abdication of the throne...but none of them was a sincere abdication. It sounds good to say abdication, but it was actually a drama of forcing the emperor to abdicate.

Li Zhixing said anxiously: "Your Majesty, let's go to the palace quickly. Now only you can persuade His Majesty, please take back your order."

Ning Chen looked at the two people in confusion, "Why should I persuade His Majesty to take back his order?

Your Majesty has worked hard all his life and exhausted himself. Can't he enjoy life now?"
