Chapter 192 A big bet on three cities

Originally hearing that there was a banquet today, and that his father would hold a state banquet to receive the envoys from the two countries, Jun Ning voluntarily withdrew.

Because at the gate of the palace before, she prevented the envoys of Northern Xia from entering the palace in the form of a plague, ruining their plan and offending the envoys of Northern Xia.

She didn't think those people would be careless, so she didn't plan to go to the banquet. Even though her father and the Queen Mother really wanted her to go and wanted to take the opportunity to let everyone see their favorite princess, Jun Ning still refused.

She chose to stay in Weiyang Hall and not go anywhere.

Qionghua didn't know why her daughter didn't go. She just saw that Jun Ning didn't go, so she didn't want to go. She also stayed in Weiyang Hall to accompany Jun Ning.

Jun Yu saw this and stayed.

The mother and son were playing games and eating delicious food in Weiyang Hall.

Jun Ning thought she could avoid a disaster this way, but what happened?

Even so, she couldn't escape.

She was personally brought to the banquet by Xiao Lizi, who said she wanted to compete with the Ninth Prince of Northern Xia.

Everyone seemed to be very interested in her. As soon as she arrived, everyone's eyes fell on her.

The little girl is wearing the green fairy dress that the Queen Mother made for her personally today. However, it is cold, so she added a plush cloak outside. Her whole body is made cute by this cloak.

, lovely, delicate.

He is truly worthy of being the favorite of Emperor Yongning!

Comparing one's feelings with one's own. If any of you here had such a cute and charming daughter after having so many sons, wouldn't you hold her in your hands and pamper her with all your heart?

Everyone seems to be able to understand why Emperor Yongning favored this daughter.

When Emperor Yongning, who was sitting at the top, saw the little girl arriving, his face instantly showed a bit of pride and satisfaction.

Now no one will say that he only has sons to be rich and noble, right?

Jun Ning didn't know what everyone was thinking. She sniffed and subconsciously glanced outside at the guest seats.

The moment the Northern Xia envoy saw her, his eyes almost rolled out of his head when he looked at her. It was obvious that he hated her to death because of what happened before.

As for the envoys from the barbarians in the northern part of the country, they were my mother's family. When they saw her, the two young men leading her kept smiling at her, and they were very friendly, without any intention of being quarrelsome.

They are indeed my mother's family, and they are worthy of being talked about by my mother all the time.

They did not let down their mother either.

Jun Ning felt a burst of emotion in her heart.

"Yiyi, come quickly to the Imperial Grandmother."

The Queen Mother, who was sitting next to Emperor Yongning, was afraid that the little girl would be frightened by such a big battle, so she took the lead in waving to Jun Ning, motioning for Jun Ning to go to her.

With her protecting her, the little girl will definitely not be afraid anymore.

Jun Ning glanced at Xiao Lizi beside him. Xiao Lizi nodded to her and reminded her in a low voice, "Princess, since the Queen Mother has called you, you can go over. But remember, don't run or scream. Walk slowly over."

That’s it.”

A great and powerful country must not lose its etiquette.

Jun Ning nodded and walked slowly towards the Queen Mother. When she passed by Jing Shu who was next to the Crown Princess, Jing Shu was winking at her, the expression on her face was very rich.

Although Jun Ning didn't know what she meant, she responded politely and winked at her.

When the prince and the eldest prince passed by, the former looked at her with a smile and his eyes were filled with joy. The latter looked at her with an angry look on his face, rivaling those of the unfriendly envoys of Northern Xia.

Jun Ning shuddered, looked away from the eldest prince, and walked quickly to the empress dowager. She did not sit on the seat prepared by the servant next to her, but threw herself into the empress dowager's open arms towards her.

Everyone looked at it in disbelief and full of envy.

The eighteenth princess is the only one who can openly throw herself into the Empress Dowager’s arms on such occasions!

The Queen Mother hugged her little granddaughter and whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid. No matter what happens, the Queen Mother will protect you as long as the Queen Mother is here."

Jun Ning nodded and looked at Emperor Yongning, who was sitting in the center next to the Queen Mother.

Emperor Yongning also gave her a look that said don't be afraid, he was there for everything.

Although her mother was not with her and her brother was not with her either. But with the protection of these two people, it was enough. Jun Ning was no longer afraid.

"Now that the princess has arrived, can we start the competition?" the ninth prince of Northern Xia asked.

Emperor Yongning nodded slightly, "Of course you can."

But before the competition began, the prince made a request with Emperor Yongning's acquiescence, "Your country and our country, the Eastern Chu Kingdom, are both decent people. Naturally, we should not compete on topics that are too childish or embarrassing during the competition."

For example, when it comes to questions like who wears crotchless pants or not, there is absolutely no comparison.

Everyone wants to save face.

Bei Xia didn't have any objections and agreed.

"Also, two out of three games." The prince said again.

The eldest prince of Northern Xia responded: "This is natural."

"But..." The eldest prince of Northern Xia glanced thoughtfully at the people who had just followed the crown prince to bet on Jun Ninghui's victory, "Your ministers, the prince, and your Majesty, since you have pledged your princess will win,

If you win, then should I make some bets?"

There are naturally rules for betting, but you can't bet in vain.

But at this moment, the eldest prince said coolly, "I did not bet on the eighteenth princess to win." He was just a little fool. He could win against a prince who was more than five years old and half her age.

That's weird.

Emperor Yongning glanced at the eldest prince and thought to himself, this idiot, what is he talking about? At the state banquet, it is enough not to give credit to his own family. How can there be any reason for his own family to slap his own face?

If it hadn't been for this occasion, Emperor Yongning would have scolded the eldest prince.

But since this is the occasion, dignity is important.

Emperor Yongning just glanced at the eldest prince and said nothing.

But the imperial power that the superior had cultivated for many years was all reflected in that look.

The eldest prince's heart trembled when he saw it, and he quickly closed his mouth.

Emperor Yongning looked again at the eldest prince of Northern Xia who had just spoken.

"If we place bets, it should not just be our Dong Chu Kingdom, but Northern Xia should also place bets!"

"May I ask what the Northern Xia envoy is planning to entrust?"

If only one party bets and the other party does not bet, that would be a rogue move.

The eldest prince of Northern Xia really wanted to act like a gangster.

He just wants to lure Dongchu State and let Dongchu State make a bet. As for whether he wins or loses, it will not be affected in the end. He can just reap the benefits.

But he didn't expect that Emperor Yongning, an old fox, would not let him go.

It seemed that he had to make a bet, and he had to make a big bet first. In this way, the Eastern Chu Kingdom had no way out and could only follow him and make a big bet.

But what exactly is the bet?

The eldest prince is like a prince, he is convinced that his family will win and will never lose.

With such conviction, he placed a large bet.

"This prince is willing to bet the three cities of my Northern Xia. If my brother cannot defeat your eighteenth princess, I, the Northern Xia, are willing to give up my three cities."
