Chapter 229 Ridicule
"Brother Prince!"
At the gate of Shen's Mansion.
When Chu Ning heard that the prince was going to tell the emperor about this, his face changed drastically and he quickly reached out to stop him.
"Let's wait a little longer. What if it's just the Shen family that's still preparing?"
But the more anxious Chu Ning was, the happier the prince was.
Judging from Chu Ning's expression, he was probably not sure that Shen Wanying would marry him.
Chu Ning, ah Chu Ning, you have come to this day!
The prince laughed secretly in his heart, but on the surface he looked like he was thinking about Chu Ning, and he tried his best to persuade him:
"Eighteenth brother, even if the Shen family wasted time, they should have sent someone out to report!
But now we have been waiting for a long time, and no one from the Shen Mansion has come out, which means Princess Qingyang doesn’t want to get married!
If you don’t ask your father to make the decision on such a big matter, I’m afraid your marriage today won’t be possible.”
Chu Ning's face changed slightly, and he was about to explain when a sarcastic voice came from not far away.
"Oh, it seems that I came at a bad time~"
As the voice fell, a man riding a maroon warhorse came riding over with a team of guards.
The man was wearing a purple robe and a blue cloak, and had an aloof look on his face.
The visitor turned out to be the third prince of Great Zhao!
Chu Ning frowned and stared at Zhao Wuji who was riding his horse towards him.
Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Wuji laughed and said, "I heard that the Crown Prince and the King of Chu came together to welcome the bride, so I was curious and wanted to come over to find out what was going on. I didn't expect to encounter this."
As he said this, he turned his head and glanced at the Shen Mansion, with a playful look on his face: "Now that no one from the Shen Mansion has come out, it seems that Princess Qingyang doesn't want to marry you, the King of Chu!"
Shaking his head, Zhao Wuji pretended to be disappointed and said, "If you want to say this, it's your own fault, King Chu. Why did you accept the two courtesans sent by Princess Gaoyang?
Now Princess Qingyang is angry about this and doesn’t even want to marry you.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the people around were filled with indignation and glared at Zhao Wuji.
They wanted to refute it, but the facts were right in front of them and they couldn't refute it at all.
They could only stare at Zhao Wuji fiercely, hoping to overwhelm him with their momentum!
If looks could kill, Zhao Wuji would have no idea how many times he had been killed by the looks of the people.
Zhao Wuji noticed the unfriendly looks from the people around him, a hint of coldness appeared on his face, he glanced at everyone and said in a cold voice:
"Why are you looking at me like that? This is what your King Chu did. Now Princess Qingyang doesn't want to marry him, that's his own fault!"
Chu Ning destroyed 200,000 troops of my Great Zhao. Now that I have the opportunity today, I will naturally give him a severe beating.
In front of everyone, he was going to ruthlessly trample on Chu Ning's prestige and destroy the power that Chu Ning had worked so hard to build!
Zhao Wuji held his head high, looking confident and assured of victory.
The people around were furious, but they didn't know how to refute. They could only hold their anger and clench their fists.
They were furious when they saw the prince of the rival dynasty showing off his power in their own capital city and even humiliating the King of Chu in public.
But they can't do anything. The feeling of powerlessness makes them feel that they can only express their dissatisfaction with their eyes.
But the more they did so, the more excited Zhao Wuji became.
Be angry! Who told you to support Chu Ning? I will destroy his reputation today!
You feel powerless. This is the Chu Ning you support. He is nothing but a lustful man!
However, these unruly people actually dared to look at me like this. I must teach them a lesson!
With narrowed eyes, Zhao Wuji sneered at the prince and said, "Is this how you treat guests in your Great Zhao Dynasty? Allowing these people to glare at me?"
The prince's eyes rolled, and he immediately cooperated: "Don't worry, Third Prince, I will give you an explanation right away!"
"Someone come!" The prince pointed to the people and said, "Disperse them, or the Third Prince will be unhappy."
If the people were expelled, Chu Ning's reputation would be completely ruined, and he could also make friends with Zhao Wuji, killing two birds with one stone!
At the command, the guards of the Eastern Palace immediately rushed forward to drive away the people.
But at this moment, Chu Ning finally spoke!
"and many more!"
Chu Ning frowned and said, "Brother Crown Prince, these people are here because of me. How can we use violence to disperse them?"
"Come for you?"
The prince said sarcastically, "They came for your wedding with Princess Qingyang, but now Princess Qingyang doesn't want to marry you, so there is no need for them to stay."
Zhao Wuji laughed loudly upon hearing this, walked around Chu Ning twice, and said with a smile: "Interesting, really interesting, the great Emperor of Chu was actually broken off his engagement!
I don’t know what people will think if this gets out, hahahaha!”
The hearty laughter spread far away, and the deliberately sarcastic words were particularly harsh to the ears of the people at the scene.
They really wanted to defend Chu Ning, but now Shen Wanying did not come out and there was no movement in the Shen Mansion, so they had no way to defend him.
The facts were before their eyes, and they could only watch Zhao Wuji humiliate Chu Ning!
Chu Ning's face was gloomy at the moment, staring at Zhao Wuji: "Third Prince, don't go too far. Who told you that Wanying wanted to break off the engagement?"
Zhao Wuji shrugged and spread his hands: "There is no movement in the Shen Mansion, do you still have illusions, King Chu?
You have been here for a quarter of an hour. Even if the Shen Mansion needs to prepare, it should have been ready long ago. But until now, not even a servant has come out of the Shen Mansion, which is enough to show that Princess Qingyang does not want to marry you!"
When Zhao Wuji got excited, he laughed loudly and said, "If I were to say, King Chu, you should go back to your palace and marry those two courtesans.
Since the wedding has been decided, it cannot be changed. If the bride regrets the marriage, you can make another woman the bride.
As the King of Chu, do you still need women?
However, those two courtesans were born in the Red Mansion, so I don’t know whether His Majesty the Emperor of Great Chu would agree to let them marry you and become your legal wives, hahahaha!”
Thinking that Chu Ning was going to marry two courtesans, and that he was going to marry them in front of the envoys from the eight dynasties, Zhao Wuji couldn't help but feel happy.
A prince is going to marry an oiran as his legal wife. If this gets out, he will be totally disgraced!
The prince was very pleased with the sarcastic words and laughed secretly in his heart.
Chu Ning, you are very powerful, but I never thought that there would be a time when you would be beaten up by others!
However, as the crown prince, I cannot laugh out loud at this moment and need to remain reserved.
The prince suppressed his laughter and pretended to be serious, saying in a deep voice: "Eighteenth brother, don't delay any longer. Now that things have come to this, let father make the decision from now on!"
After saying this, the prince turned his horse around and prepared to inform the emperor of the matter.
But at this moment, the door of Shen Mansion, which had been closed, suddenly opened.
Immediately afterwards, the sounds of gongs and drums appeared!
The prince and Zhao Wuji's faces changed drastically, and they quickly turned to look towards the Shen Mansion.
I saw Old Madam Shen, wearing a gorgeous palace dress, coming out of the mansion with a group of people.
