The streets and alleys of the capital city are decorated with lights and colorful lanterns. Even the small stalls are covered with red cloth or wrapped with red ribbons. It is as festive as Chinese New Year.

"I just haven't been out for ten days, and the streets have changed so much? Are they preparing for the big festival?"

Mu Nanjin walked to the middle of the street and looked at the beginning and end of the street. She found that except for the house where she lived, everyone else had hung red lanterns and changed their couplets.

Princess Xueyu got on the carriage, opened the curtain and said, "You know that father's birthday is in half a month, right?"

Mu Nanjin: “…”

She knows.

Just...forgot.

It’s the leisurely days that have misled me.

"Originally, my father didn't want to be extravagant, but this year, not only the Fourth Uncle and his men will come to congratulate him, but even the surrounding countries will send envoys to congratulate him. In order to let the envoys see the prosperity and strength of Daqian and to deter other countries, my father ordered the people to hang up lanterns like they do during the Chinese New Year."

Mu Nanjin was not interested in envoys from other countries: "Has the Fourth Prince entered the capital?"

"I heard from the Imperial Grandmother that the four Imperial Uncles will not arrive in the capital until two days later."

Since they had not yet arrived in Beijing, there was no need for Mu Nanjin to pay attention to them. He got on the carriage and followed Princess Xueyu to Baodian Lake.

The area around Baodian Lake was filled with carriages and tall horses. Before you even got out of the carriages, you could hear the girls' soft whispers and the men's hearty laughter.

As soon as Princess Xueyu's carriage arrived, everyone stopped talking and laughing and gathered around it.

When Princess Xueyu got off the car, everyone immediately bowed to her and said, "Greetings, Princess Xueyu."

"Everyone, don't be so polite. Let's all go."

Princess Xueyu turned to Mu Nanjin in the carriage and said, "Why don't you get off?"

Everyone looked at the carriage curiously, and a woman in white tights got out of the carriage.

She had a pretty face and was dressed simply, with only a white hairband to tie her high ponytail. She didn't have a single valuable item on her but she was sitting in the princess's carriage. Everyone was very curious about her identity.

Mu Nanjin glanced at the eunuch kneeling under the carriage as a ladder, then jumped down to the ground and said to the three-story pleasure boat parked by the lake: "That pleasure boat is pretty good."

"Of course my pleasure boat is the best. Come on, I'll take you to cruise the lake."

Princess Xueyu led the way towards Baodian Lake.

After they walked away, the men and women behind them discussed in a low voice.

"Whose noble family is this girl who came with the princess? Have you ever seen her?"

"She seems to be the only female Jinyiwei in the Jinyiwei."

"She just likes Mr. Tang's cousin? She already has someone she likes, so why is she here to join in the fun? Besides, with her status as a low-class family, no young master would be interested in her unless she is willing to be a concubine."

"Some things can't be said so confidently. Take the matter of the Jade Face Pill, for example. Do you know who presented it to the Queen Mother?"

"Could it be her?"

"Yes, that's her."

Everyone showed a puzzled expression.

Everyone present knew about the Jade Face Pill, and everyone wanted to get one, but one pill cost ten thousand gold taels, and if they had ten thousand taels of gold in their possession, it would already be quite good.

But if they were on good terms with her, perhaps the Jade Face Pill would be much cheaper, or even given to them for free.

Everyone was excited at the thought, however, their dismissive attitude towards Mu Nanjin just now made them feel awkward.

Everyone turned around to look, and saw a stunningly beautiful woman walking towards them with light steps.

She was surrounded by a group of noble ladies and admirers. These admirers were not ordinary. In addition to being young masters of aristocratic families, they also held some official positions in the court. Although their official rank was not high at present, as long as they were talented, they could at least become a fifth-rank official under the care of their family.

The identity of someone who can have so many noble ladies and young masters from aristocratic families around her is naturally not too bad. The current eldest princess is her mother, and she was named Princess Rongyue by the emperor.

Princess Xueyu, who heard the commotion, saw Princess Rongyue coming and frowned: "The annoying guy is here."

Mu Nanjin asked: "She is..."

"Princess Rongyue."

Mu Nanjin nodded in understanding: "Oh, is it Princess Rongyue who has always fought with you for everything since childhood?"

"Yes, I hate her the most for competing with me for my brother's love." Princess Xueyu glared at Princess Rongyue angrily: "How did you know about what happened between us?"

[Of course I saw it in the gossip news.]

Mu Nanjin thought about it in his mind, but did not answer her.

The young masters of the aristocratic families who were following Princess Rongyue suddenly stopped in their tracks and looked left and right. When they saw Mu Nanjin beside Princess Xueyu, their faces suddenly turned dark.

"Why is she here?"

One of the young masters from the aristocratic families asked in a low voice.

The others shook their heads slightly. If they knew that Mu Nanjin would also come to the flower show, they would never come here even if they were beaten to death.

Princess Xueyu saw that the young masters of the noble families stopped when they saw her, and asked in confusion: "Am I so scary? Why don't they come over?"

Mu Nanjin: “…”

[Why do I feel like they are afraid of me? ]

[I am just a small Jinyiwei. What do I have to be afraid of? Even if Tang Jingrui and others are backing them up, they can't be afraid of me.]

[Well, it must be my illusion. ]

Young masters of the aristocratic families: "..."

No, you are not delusional.

We are really afraid of you, afraid that you will reveal our secrets.

While they were hesitating whether to get on the boat, the ladies and gentlemen following behind them rushed over excitedly and squeezed them under the pleasure boat.

"The Oirans are here. The Oirans are here."

A two-decker pleasure boat came over from a distance, with a group of stunningly beautiful courtesans standing on the first deck.

There were both male and female courtesans, each dressed up beautifully and standing at the bow and stern of the boat, smiling at the ladies.

Immediately afterwards, musical instruments started playing and the courtesans began dancing.

Mu Nanjin's eyes lit up slightly when he saw Gong Xiurong sitting on the second floor playing the piano.

[Wow, Gong Xiurong is here too. I can finally have sex with him openly today.]

Young masters of the aristocratic families: "..."

Good night, my dears, don't forget to vote, please vote
