Daqian Kingdom, the third year of Yuanxi, the ninth day of the first lunar month

At seven quarters past the hour of Yin, four eunuchs and palace maids passing by the Taijin Palace in the imperial palace were whispering to a beautiful woman wearing a black flying fish costume.

"Look, it's her. She is Mu Nanjin, the only girl in the Imperial Guard."

"I thought that those who could be recruited into the Jinyi Guards must be fat and big-eared women who are stronger than men."

"With her thin arms and legs, can she do the work of the Imperial Guard?"

"Is she the legendary peerless master who was recruited into the Imperial Guards?"

"Pfft, she's a peerless master? Don't laugh at me. She's just an orphan living under someone else's roof, with no power, no authority, and no martial arts. It was Lord Tang Qianhu's credit that she was able to become a Jinyiwei. And it just so happened that our emperor was planning to create an imperial examination for women, so he made an exception and allowed her to join the Jinyiwei."

"What is her relationship with Lord Tang Qianhu?"

"She is Master Tang's cousin, and she likes Master Tang. She lives under the same roof with Master Tang. She finds reasons to get close to Master Tang every day. 'I want to be a Jinyiwei' is her lame excuse. Master Tang was so annoyed that he used his power to send her into the Jinyiwei, hoping to make her give up. Who knew that she would stay there for more than half a month, and was promoted from a Jinyiwei with no rank to a ninth rank in just five days."

"Tsk, you really put a lot of effort into becoming the wife of a thousand households."

"She is very good at seducing people, otherwise she wouldn't have been promoted so quickly."

"Bah, shameless bitch." The palace maid who liked Lord Tang Qianhu spat at Mu Nanjin with disdain.

Mu Nanjin, who was patrolling outside the Taijin Palace, heard their words and glanced lazily at the eunuchs.

If they were talking about her, she would definitely be angry.

It's a pity that the person they were talking about had died a long time ago, and it was her own fault that she killed herself, otherwise she wouldn't have had the chance to travel into this body.

Speaking of this matter, Mu Nanjin felt depressed.

She was originally a sword cultivator in modern times. Before she traveled through time, she was trying to transcend tribulation and ascend to heaven. However, she was taken to a fictional dynasty by a system that suddenly appeared. Then, after saying "Welcome to the Great Qian Kingdom, you can ascend to heaven as long as you complete the tasks I have issued", the system never appeared again and did not issue any tasks to her. This made her suspect that it had disappeared in order to prevent her from ascending.

Fortunately, the system can be easily controlled in her mind like a computer. She can use it to catch up on TV dramas and comic novels, and read other people's gossip on weekdays so that she won't be bored. Fortunately, she inherited the original owner's memory so that she didn't cause too much trouble.

In addition, the original owner's job as a Jinyiwei also made her feel very bad.

Every day, you have to get up earlier than a chicken, sleep later than a dog, eat worse than a pig, work harder than an ox, and work so hard for only two taels of money for a month. This is not a job for a human being. So, it is not without reason that the original owner died on the first day of becoming a Jinyiwei.

Mu Nanjin finished his recollections and sighed in his heart.

[No matter what era, everyone likes gossip. ]

Even she herself is no exception.

In the system's dashboard, her favorite thing to watch was the gossip news of this world, which was more exciting than movies. Moreover, the system would automatically update the content every minute and every second, just like a TV comedy blockbuster that never had a finale, making people laugh uncontrollably.

Thinking of this, Mu Nanjin subconsciously opened the system to check new content, and what he saw was all kinds of gossip about the civil and military officials of the current dynasty.

[After getting drunk, the Hanlin scholar hugged and kissed Du Bianxiu for the whole night. Hahahaha, this scene is unbearable to watch.]

[The Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites always cleans the toilet three times before going to the bathroom. This morning, when he was cleaning it for the second time, he couldn't help but poop in his pants because of diarrhea. Hahaha, it's all because of mysophobia, no one else can be blamed.]

[Minister of Personnel...]

"Ahem, Nanjin."

Upon hearing the voice, Mu Nanjin turned around and saw Tang Wenzong, the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, running hurriedly to her as if he had encountered something urgent.

She bowed and saluted: "Greetings, Lord Tang. I wonder what Lord Tang wants to talk to me about."

Tang Wenzong exhaled, and after catching his breath, he said, "I heard from your aunt that you have no horse or carriage, and it is very inconvenient to go on and off duty. From now on, when you are off duty, you can take my carriage and go back with me."

[Damn it, you rushed over here just to tell me this? ]

Mu Nanjin raised his eyebrows in surprise.

[Something is wrong, something is wrong, something is very wrong, the official who usually ignores me actually invites me to ride in his carriage! ? Is the sun rising from the west, or is it going to rain red? Tsk tsk tsk, there is something wrong. ]

The original body's parents died in a plague shortly after she was born, and her uncle raised her by his side.

When the original body was two years old, Mu Qinyi brought the original body to the Tang family to fulfill the child marriage that was arranged that year.

The Tang family remembered the kindness the Mu family had shown them and therefore did not reject Mu Qinyi, whose family had fallen into poverty. However, Mu Qinyi, who was penniless, had to marry into their Tang family.

Mu Qinyi didn't want his niece to live a wandering life with him, so he nodded and agreed to become a son-in-law of the Tang family.

Emperor Wenzong of Tang was Mu Qinyi's brother-in-law.

The Captain Tang mentioned by the palace maid just now is Tang Jingrui, the second son of Emperor Wenzong of Tang.

The original body had admired Tang Jingrui since childhood, but the Tang family had high hopes for Tang Jingrui. In the hearts of the Tang family, the only one who could be worthy of Tang Jingrui was a daughter of a prominent family, not a helpless orphan.

Therefore, the people of the Tang family disliked the original body, and did not want the original body to get too close to Tang Jingrui and ruin his reputation. But because Mu Qinyi was the son-in-law of the Tang family and Tang Jingrui's master, he did not drive the original body out of the Tang family. However, from the moment the original body fell in love with Tang Jingrui, the people of the Tang family never treated the original body well again.

"I am on duty late. In order not to delay Lord Tang's time, I can only appreciate Lord Tang's kindness."

"In that case, I won't wait for you."

Emperor Wenzong of Tang seemed very happy that she rejected his proposal, and a smile appeared on his serious face.

Then, he turned back after taking two steps and reminded in a low voice, "Be loyal to the emperor and stop thinking about nonsense."

[What do you mean? Are you warning me not to have any idea about your son? You are overthinking it. I am not interested in your son.]

Mu Nanjin rolled his eyes secretly and replied lazily, "Got it."

[I know that the daughter-in-law you like is the daughter of the Minister of Personnel, but unfortunately the son-in-law in the Minister of Personnel's mind is the prince who can inherit the throne of the crown prince, and he doesn't think highly of your son. Haha, this is the retribution for you looking down on me. ]

"puff--"

There were several bursts of laughter from the side.

When Emperor Wenzong of Tang saw that the officials were all laughing, his face suddenly turned red: "You——"

"What's wrong with me?" Mu Nanjin was sweating profusely when he saw that he was angry.

[I already said I know and I won't have any ideas about Tang Jingrui anymore, why is Tang Wenzong still angry? Did he change his mind and want me to be his daughter-in-law? No, I don't like Tang Jingrui. You should go and get close to the Minister of Personnel. The Minister of Personnel's daughter likes your son, so your son still has a chance. The Minister of Personnel...]

"Wooden Guard."

The Minister of Personnel shouted anxiously in the distance, then rushed over and smiled politely at Mu Nanjin: "Guard Mu, sorry to bother you. I have something important to discuss with the Deputy Minister, so I need your permission to talk."

"I won't disturb you two adults." Mu Nanjin continued patrolling.

The Minister of Personnel waited until she walked away, snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and walked into the Taijin Palace.

"Lord Yao, please listen to my explanation." Emperor Wenzong of Tang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly followed.

When the hour of Mao arrived, the eunuch opened his voice and shouted: "Go to court——"

All civil and military officials gathered in the Taijin Palace.

Not long after, the eunuch shouted again: "The Emperor has arrived——"

All the civil and military officials, as well as the eunuchs and guards outside, knelt on the ground together and said, "Welcome to the Emperor. Long live the Emperor."

Mu Nanjin, who came from the modern era, was not used to scenes of having to kneel down at every turn, and she twisted her body awkwardly.

[Every time he went to court, he made it like he was worshipping his ancestors and had so many people kneeling and bowing. No wonder emperors in history never lived past a hundred years old. After all, they couldn’t afford longevity.]

The Taijin Palace fell into an eerie silence.

[Two minutes have passed, why hasn't the emperor called us up yet? ]

Mu Nanjin looked up.

However, she was kneeling outside the hall and could only see the wall when she looked up, not knowing that the air pressure in the hall was terribly low.

[Is the emperor angry again? He is really a chameleon. He gets angry when he wants to. He is really a moody guy. Let's see who has made him angry again. ]

Before she could open the system, she heard the emperor in the hall shouting anxiously: "My dear ministers, please stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The ministers were afraid that if they got up a little late they would displease the emperor, so they jumped up one by one as quickly as possible and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads.

[Is it so hot in there? Why are everyone wiping their sweat? ]

Mu Nanjin glanced at the situation in the hall from the window and continued patrolling.

The emperor discussed state affairs with his ministers, ranging from people's livelihood issues to national policies, and finally talked about wars in other countries, all of which were very brain-tightening.

Mu Nanjin was a lazy person, even too lazy to use her brain. Her eyes became sleepy when she heard serious questions. She yawned lazily when no one was paying attention to her.

[I'm so sleepy. It's almost noon. Why haven't you left the court yet? Doesn't the emperor feel tired? Isn't he worried that he will run out of energy and won't be able to deal with the little fairies in the harem? Be careful of the little fairies in the harem going out to eat secretly. Oh, no, someone has already eaten secretly. The emperor's head is already green, hehe. By the way, which little fairy cheated on the emperor? Let me see...]

The hall suddenly became quiet.

The emperor's face turned ashen.

“Ehhhh…ehhhhhh…”

The ministers quickly pricked up their ears.

Mu Nanjin looked at the gossip excitedly.

"The Imperial Master has returned to the capital, and is now less than fifty miles away."

She originally wanted to check who the emperor's concubine was, but unexpectedly, the latest gossip popped up.

[It is said that the state teacher has a face like a fallen immortal, the best in the world, but I don’t know if he is really that beautiful. ]

Immediately afterwards, the emperor and his ministers rushed out in full force and rushed towards the palace gate as quickly as possible.

Mu Nanjin looked bewildered.

[Why did the emperor and his men suddenly come out? Where are they going? ]

Captain Liu of the Imperial Guard shouted to Mu Nanjin, "Why are you still in a daze? Hurry up and protect the emperor."

Mu Nanjin asked: "Where are we going?"

"The Imperial Master has returned, and the Emperor will go to greet him personally."

[The Imperial Master suddenly returned to the capital secretly. How did the Emperor know? Did the Imperial Guard spread the news? They are too well-informed. Won't there be too many secrets in front of the Emperor in the future? That's too scary.]

Mu Nanjin thought as he caught up with the emperor.

Captain Liu, who was following behind him, muttered, "It's really too scary."

As long as you are here, there are no more secrets in this world.
