"Gong Xiurong left?"

Mu Nanjin was very surprised: "Didn't he say he would leave in a few days?"

Not only was she surprised, but even Gu Ming, who wanted to trouble him afterwards, was also surprised. But he soon understood the meaning behind it.

Gong Xiurong said that he would leave in a few days, but it was actually to deceive him, so that he would relax his attention on him, and then Gong Xiurong could take the opportunity to escape. After all, neither he nor others expected Gong Xiurong to leave before Mu Nanjin's celebration banquet.

Humph, as expected of a man who used to be an emperor, he is quite scheming.

"He suddenly had something to do, so he asked me to send him away." Black Dragonfly thought for a moment and said, "Oh, by the way, he asked me to tell you a few words."

Mu Nanjin asked: "What?"

"He said congratulations on becoming the Duke of Zhenguo. He felt very sorry that he couldn't leave Daqian Kingdom until your celebration banquet was over. He will definitely celebrate for you after he leaves seclusion."

"He also said that you are a good girl and there will be many outstanding men pursuing you. I hope you can open your eyes and choose your partner, and don't be fooled by some stinky men."

Gu Ming: “…”

This stinky man must be referring to him.

"If you must choose a man as your partner someday, then you must choose a man who is better than him. If the other person is not as good to you as he is, then it's better not to have him. Of course, if possible, he still hopes that you can wait for him to come out of seclusion to find you."

Mu Nanjin: “…”

[What Gong Xiurong meant by this is that he wants me to wait for him to come out of seclusion and become my partner? ]

【By the way, is Gong Xiurong good to me? 】

[Well...it was indeed quite comfortable for him to serve me at the beginning. Moreover, it was even more rare for him, who was of noble status, to put aside his status and serve me.]

[When choosing a man, you should choose someone who doesn’t put on airs, just like a man who is good at grooming, hehe. ]

"Finally he said..."

The black locust paused.

Mu Nanjin was very curious: "What did you say?"

Black Dragonfly coughed lightly and said, "All men in the world have leg hair."

Mu Nanjin: “!!!!”

[Oh my god, fuck ...

[Gong Xiurong, do you have to be so cruel? The people have left, but you still leave such a message. ]

[Believe it or not, I will rush to the Beihan Ancient Country right now and pluck out all the hair on your body. ]

Gu Ming saw that Mu Nanjin looked very unhappy and asked, "What's wrong with that?"

"no problem."

Mu Nanjin replied weakly.

Then, she glanced at Gu Ming's legs, then at Hei Qinghuang's feet, and then at Feng Sinan's calves. Finally, she couldn't help but stroke her forehead.

【It would be strange if there is no problem. 】

[Oh my god, I can't look at these handsome men anymore. ]

[I want to sharpen my knife and chop people whenever I think of their hairy legs. What should I do? ]

Black Dragonfly, Feng Sinan, and Gu Ming: "..."

[How about making a few bottles of hair-removing cream and giving them to them? Or sneaking into their rooms in the middle of the night to help them shave their leg hair? ]

[But, but...the image of them having hairy legs has been deeply imprinted in my mind. No matter how hard I try, I can't stop thinking about them having hairy legs.]

[Gong Xiurong, you are too cruel. 】

Everyone: “…”

Gu Ming looked down at his legs. Did he have to shave his leg hair?

At this time, Xu Bo walked in and asked, "My Lord, all the guests are here. Is it time to let everyone take their seats?"

Mu Nanjin glanced at him in a bad mood: "Are you all here?"

"Except for the Emperor and the Queen Mother, everyone else is here."

Xu Bo never thought that the emperor and the empress dowager would come. After all, how could the emperor and the emperor's mother of their Daqian Kingdom easily come out of the palace to celebrate for the officials.

"The Emperor and the Queen Mother are not here?"

[That shouldn't be the case. Even if they didn't come, they should have sent someone to say so or send a gift.]

"yes."

Mu Nanjin checks the news and gossip.

[Who said they didn't come? They are in the Duke's Mansion now. They just disguised themselves as others and hid in the crowd so that the officials could have a good time.]

"!!!"

After hearing the inner voice, the officials quickly looked around, but all they saw were familiar faces.

Even if there were officials they didn't know, they didn't know whether the emperor and the empress dowager were in disguise, after all, they didn't know every official.

An official asked quietly: "Can you tell which one is the emperor and the queen mother?"

"There are so many people here, how can we tell?"

"Do you think it's possible that the Emperor and the Queen Mother came with the Crown Prince?"

"The ones who came with the Crown Prince are all princes we know. The Emperor and the Queen Mother cannot disguise themselves as them."

"Will he come with the Left and Right Prime Ministers? The Emperor and his people are usually familiar with the important ministers, so they should come with him if he wants to come."

“It’s hard to say.”

"In my opinion, although the emperor and the queen mother can change their faces, they cannot change their figures, temperament and voices. As long as you recognize these three points, the other party must be the emperor and the queen mother."

"I don't know if I'm too nervous. Everyone I look at is the Emperor and the Queen Mother."

"Everyone, don't be nervous, and don't make any more guesses. Since the Emperor and the Queen Mother don't want others to know who they are, we should just pretend we don't know about it. As long as we don't behave excessively, even if we accidentally say something offensive, the Emperor and the Queen Mother won't blame us. As the saying goes, ignorance is not a crime."

The guests who came to the Duke's Mansion were either officials or nobles. They would be polite to each other and generally would not offend others. However, when everyone sat down, they would still subconsciously look at the person sitting with them.

After everyone sat down, Xu Bo shouted to the backyard, "Serve the food."

Then, the servants in the mansion came out in a line like a dragon, carrying wine and food. The first to be served were three jars of wine, each of which was branded with the words "Zuifang" and the words "Yipin" were carved on the lid. In addition, on the other side of the two words "Zuifang" was a piece of red paper with the words "Shangjiu", "Wujiu" and "Shenxianjiu" written on it.

Everyone was very happy to see this.

"It's Zuifang's first-class wine. We are in for a treat."

"The first-class wine in Zuifang costs one hundred taels of gold, and three jars means three hundred taels of gold. The Duke of Zhenguo invited so many officials, and there must be eighty tables if not one hundred. If we count one hundred tables, that would be thirty thousand taels of gold. Thirty thousand taels of gold, I can't save that much money even if I don't eat or drink."

Of course, what he said only applies to honest officials. If they were corrupt officials, they could "earn" 30,000 taels of gold in two years.

"The Duke of Zhenguo is really generous. He spent so much money on wine alone."

Seeing that everyone was happy, Xu Bo smiled and said to all the officials: "Our Lord said that if the wine is not enough, you can ask for more. You can drink until you are drunk and eat until you are full."

"good."

Everyone cheered happily.
