The next day, in order to have a delicious breakfast, Mu Nanjin came to the state residence early in the morning to have breakfast with the princes.

After the meal, the Minister of Rites arranged for the envoys from both countries to enter the palace to meet the emperor.

Mu Nanjin came to the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, Mr. Zhou, and asked, "Why didn't your Ministry of Rites arrange for the two countries' envoys to visit the Wansheng Garden?"

[In previous years, I left before I finished shopping.]

[I wanted to finish the tour this time, but the Ministry of Rites didn’t arrange it. Are they deliberately going against me? ]

Lord Zhou was embarrassed. He lowered his voice and explained in a low voice: "Among the five countries, our Daqian Kingdom was the most powerful. We put the meeting with the emperor last in order to show our power."

[What kind of national prestige is this? It's clearly an attempt to put on airs.]

Lord Zhou coughed uncomfortably and said, "This time is different. Our Daqian Kingdom is the weakest among all the countries, so we put the meeting with the emperor first to show our respect for the envoys of the two countries. As for the Wansheng Garden, we won't go. The envoys of the two countries are from medium-sized countries. They have whatever animals they want. Why would they want to see the animals in our Wansheng Garden? If we really go, not only will we not be able to show our strength, but we will also be looked down upon by the envoys of the two countries. We should not bring shame upon ourselves."

Mu Nanjin asked: "Does Daqian have anything to show off to intimidate the envoys from the two countries?"

"Your question hits my heart." Lord Zhou sighed, "But, it really is not true. This time, Daqian will be laughed at."

"Who said no?"

Mr. Zhou was stunned: "Is there? What is that?"

They racked their brains but could not come up with anything that would appeal to the two countries' delegations.

Mu Nanjin put her hand on his shoulder and pulled him aside and whispered something.

Mr. Zhou's eyes became brighter and brighter: "Okay, okay, okay."

But after being happy, he was embarrassed again: "I can't make the decision on this matter, I need to discuss it."

"Just tell them that it was me who said it, and they will definitely agree."

"Okay, I'll go ask."

Lord Zhou walked towards the Minister of Rites with a happy look on his face.

【whee--】

【whee--】

【whee--】

The officials of Daqian Kingdom heard Mu Nanjin's laughter continuously and couldn't help but secretly glance at her.

【whee--】

【whee--】

Captain Liu couldn't bear it any longer and walked to Mu Nanjin's side and asked, "What did you say to Lord Zhou just now?"

Mu Nanjin said calmly: "Nothing."

【whee--】

"If there's nothing..." Captain Liu pointed at her eyes and said, "Why are your eyes smiling so happily?"

They were almost brainwashed by her giggling.

[No way? Are my eyes smiling? ]

[I am a person who never shows any emotion, how could my eyes smile? ]

[Captain Liu is lying.]

With a swish, Mu Nanjin drew out the knife from his waist.

Captain Liu was startled by her: "Why are you drawing your sword?"

Mu Nanjin did not answer him. He looked at the reflection in the knife and put it back.

[My eyes are not smiling.]

[Have you already laughed? ]

When approaching the palace, the sound of drums "dong dong dong" was heard from the direction of the palace gate, followed by the sound of welcoming music, which shows that the emperor attaches great importance to the two countries' delegations. In addition, the red carpet was laid from the palace gate to the outside of the Taijin Palace, and the palace guards also lined up to welcome them, making the two countries' delegations feel the enthusiasm of the Daqian Kingdom.

Mu Nanjin really didn't like the scene of being polite to each other, so he stood at the door of Taijin Palace and didn't go in with the people from the Ministry of Rites.

Captain Liu came over and asked, "Why are you standing at the door and not going in?"

Mu Nanjin said honestly: "I am not interested in their conversation."

"Does this require your interest?" Captain Liu said unhappily, "Is it appropriate for a first-rank official like you to stand at the door?"

Mu Nanjin: “…”

Captain Liu lowered his voice and said, "Why don't you go in quickly?"

"oh."

Mu Nanjin walked into the hall and suddenly thought of a question.

[I am a first-rank official, but I still listen to the words of a fifth-rank official. Isn't this unreasonable? ]

Captain Liu was both amused and angry.

Mu Nanjin walked towards the Minister of Rites and his group. After seeing that everyone around him was wearing civil servant uniforms, she felt that the civil servant group was not suitable for her, so she turned around and walked to the end of the military officer group.

The general at the end of the line whispered, "Master Mu, you are more senior than me and should be in front of me."

Mu Nanjin walked in front of him, and the general in front of her said again: "Master Mu, you are now a first-rank official and should be in the front."

She had no choice but to walk to the front and stand in front of a group of officials wearing purple court robes. Her bright red flying fish robe was very eye-catching, and the envoys from both countries saw her at a glance.

The fourth princess murmured quietly, "Isn't she just a minor official in charge of testing poisons? Why is she allowed to enter the palace and even stand in front of the officials?"

The envoy standing next to her whispered back, "Yesterday, I secretly observed that although the officials of Daqian Kingdom were not very respectful to the female official, they were not angry even when the female official spoke coldly to them. I guess her official position is not low, and she can stand in front of the officials. She may be a high-ranking official of the first or second rank."

The fourth princess was surprised: "A first or second rank official?"

She thought that Mu Nanjin was able to sit in the position of the prince's assistant because he helped the prince and others test poison, but she never thought that the other party's official rank was so high.

"You see she has a sword on her waist, and she is allowed to bring it into the palace, which shows that she is not only of high rank, but also a respected military officer. To be a first or second rank military officer, her martial arts rank must be high. But the strange thing is that she looks like a weak little girl, who at most knows some kung fu."

The fourth princess asked, "Can you tell her martial arts skills?"

The envoy shook his head: "I can't tell, or maybe I guessed wrong."

The fourth princess said disdainfully: "Even if she is the most skilled warrior in the entire Daqian Kingdom, she is definitely not as good as our military officers. We are a medium-sized country, and Daqian Kingdom is just a small country that has just been merged. It is difficult for their warriors to surpass us."

The envoy thought about it and it made sense: "The Fourth Princess is right."

"You know what to do?"

The fourth princess glanced at Mu Nanjin, and the envoy understood: "I know."

After the two of them finished their private conversation, the envoy in front turned around and said, "Fourth Princess, hurry up and follow me."

The fourth princess wondered: "Where are we going?"

They were so busy chatting privately that they didn't notice the conversation between the emperor and the eldest princess.

"The Emperor of Daqian invited us to attend a banquet in the Imperial Garden."

"oh."

The Fourth Princess followed their footsteps and saw Mu Nanjin following behind the emperor on the left, while on the emperor's right were the eldest princess and the crown prince of Jiuyu Kingdom. The crown prince of Daqian Kingdom even lagged behind Mu Nanjin, which made her even more curious about Mu Nanjin's identity.

Mu Nanjin was in a daze and didn't notice that someone was looking at her.
