Nian Nian looked confused and didn't react to what Mu Shijin wanted to ask for a moment.

"What? What is true or false?" Nian Nian asked.

"The princess told Mr. Ye that I am her future husband, but is that true? How come I don't know about this?" Mu Shijin asked back.

Nian Nian stuck out her tongue and said, "This princess is just trying to get rid of Ye Taoan! Besides, how does the Prime Minister know that this won't come true?

As long as the Prime Minister is willing, this can come true!"

"Even if I am willing, this marriage cannot be completed if the prince and princess do not agree." Mu Shijin said.

Nian Nian curled her lips, her parents would definitely respect her.

Only Mu Shijin in front of him is the most difficult one to deal with!

If he is willing to marry her, everything will be easy!

"My parents will be able to arrive in Kyoto at the end of the month. By then, I can convince them. What will the Prime Minister say?" Nian Nian asked.

Can she convince her parents and will Mu Shijin agree to this marriage?

"Why is the princess so persistent in choosing me?" Mu Shijin asked curiously.

He didn't understand why Nian Nian chose him so firmly.

Nian Nian thought about it and thought that maybe Mu Shijin was better than Ye Taoan. If she chose Mu Shijin, no one would laugh at her!

Besides, Mu Shijin is good-looking and capable, so why wouldn't she choose Mu Shijin?

"Because... the Prime Minister is handsome!" Nian Nian said with a smile.

Mu Shijin: ...

Just because of his appearance? Then he was thankful that he had a good appearance, otherwise, he would have no chance with Nian Nian.

Just because of his appearance, that's all! Later, he would let Nian Nian understand that besides his appearance, he had many other qualities that made her satisfied.

"Then I should be thankful that I have a good appearance." Mu Shijin said with a smile.

Nian Nian was also amused by him, and she nodded, "Indeed! Prime Minister, please think carefully about whether to marry me!"

After she finished speaking, the carriage stopped and arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Mu Shijin got off the carriage and returned home.

Nian Nian returned to the Lin Mansion only after she saw him walking away.

At the end of the month, Liu Qin and Wei Cunqing arrived on time.

They were originally going on a trip, but just as they arrived in Toyosu, they received news that Nian Nian had broken off her engagement. They had to change their plans and come to Kyoto first.

"Niannian, are you okay? Ye Taoan is so ungrateful that she actually did such an unforgivable thing. Niannian, don't be sad, mother..." As Liu Qin was speaking, she saw Niannian covering her mouth and laughing.

Liu Qin: ...

This girl! When they heard the news, they rushed over without stopping, but this girl seemed like nothing had happened.

"Mom! I'm not as fragile as you think! Besides, I don't love Ye Taoan to death!

"He has other women, so my daughter can have other men too. I've already called off this marriage! Besides, Ye Taoan is getting engaged next month, so I have nothing to do with him anymore," Nian Nian explained.

Liu Qin frowned, "Then why are you so anxious to find my parents?"

Since she didn't take the matter seriously, why did she anxiously ask them to come to Kyoto in the letter?

Nian Nian took Liu Qin's hand and said, "Of course I will preside over my daughter's marriage! I have already found a better son-in-law for you!"

Liu Qin: ...

The corners of her mouth twitched unconsciously. In such a short time, Nian Nian found a better husband?

"Who?" Liu Qin didn't believe Nian Nian's look.

Could it be that she was deceived by the sweet words of that playboy?

"Prime Minister!" Nian Nian said, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

"Prime Minister Mu Shijin?" Liu Qin frowned even deeper.

She had also heard of Mu Shijin. Although he came from a poor family, he relied on his own efforts to become the prime minister in just three or four years, becoming the youngest prime minister in the history of their Northern Han Dynasty.

It is said that the old prime minister values ​​her very much, and he is indeed talented. Less than half a year after taking office, he implemented two policies that benefit the country and the people. However... he also offended many nobles because of this.

Nian Nian is going to marry Mu Shijin, she...she is worried!

Not to mention that Mu Shijin is scheming and capable, she wouldn't dare let Nian Nian marry him just because he has become a thorn in the eyes of the gentry.

"Yes! Mother! The Prime Minister is an extraordinary figure! These days, I have been studying his poems and paintings, as well as his style of doing things.

He's a good official who's deeply loved by the people! "Mom, I've decided to marry him in this life!" Nian Nian said with a firm face.

Before, she was only interested in Mu Shijin because of his beauty and fame.

In the past half month, she began to study Mu Shijin.

Apart from her beauty, Mu Shijin was flawless in every other aspect. Her decision to marry Mu Shijin was a joke before, but now she had truly decided on Mu Shijin from the bottom of her heart.

In this life, she wanted to work with Mu Shijin to do something for the people of Northern Han.

Liu Qin: ...

In just one month, Nian Nian is determined to marry Mu Shijin?

Liu Qin has a headache!

She rubbed her temples, "Niannian, you..."

"Mother! I really like the Prime Minister, I hope you can help me!" Nian Nian pleaded.

Seeing Nian Nian's persistence, Liu Qin felt helpless. "Wait a moment, I'll talk to Mu Shijin later."

Hearing this, Nian Nian grinned, "Thank you for your help, mother!"

Liu Qin: ...

When did she agree to fulfill her wish?

This girl! Can you be more reserved?

Liu Qin sent an invitation to Mu Shijin. After the morning court, Mu Shijin put aside all his work and came to the Lin Mansion to see Liu Qin.

"Junior pays his respects to Her Majesty the Princess. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health." Mu Shijin said respectfully.

Liu Qin looked Mu Shijin up and down, "Sit down!"

Mu Shijin did not sit down. He bowed respectfully again and said, "Thank you, Princess, for saving my life that day!"

Liu Qin: ...

A life-saving grace? When did she save Mu Shijin?

She looked bewildered, and Mu Shijin explained, "That day, my grandfather and I were trapped in the snow. If it weren't for the prince and princess who rescued us, I would have died in the snowstorm. How could I be here today?

As for the two hundred taels of silver that the Empress stuffed into her cloak, I will return it double today."

After he finished speaking, he took out four hundred taels of silver and handed it to Liu Qin with both hands.

Liu Qin recalled that the last time she returned to Beijing, she met a grandfather and grandson. She never expected that the young man would become the powerful prime minister today!

So, Nian Nian's affection for Mu Shijin was also planned by Mu Shijin?

"Are you trying to interfere with Nian Nian and Ye Taoan's marriage?" Liu Qin asked.

Mu Shijin didn't dare to hide it. "I did add fuel to the fire. Ye Taoan and Yanhong's relationship was not arranged by me, but it was me who brought Yanhong and her son back to Kyoto."

It was not he who arranged for Ye Taoan and Yanhong to be together, but it was he who sent someone to bring Yanhong to Kyoto. When Nian Nian and Ye Taoan's marriage fell through, it was indeed because of his instigation.
