"The Right Prime Minister presents me with a golden dragon-shaped incense bead necklace..."
"The Minister of Personnel sent me a famous painting..."
Mu Nanjin felt indescribable envy as he listened to the chief eunuch reading out the gifts sent by the ministers.
[It's really enviable to receive so many valuable gifts on one birthday. 】
[These gifts should be placed in the emperor's private treasury, right? ]
[If you are so poor that you can't even afford to eat, you can take a few from the emperor's private treasury and sell them.]
The emperor, civil and military officials: "..."
[I went to the Minister of Rites to present a gift, why did he look so scared? He thought he was pretending to be calm, but his shaking hands betrayed him.]
[Oh, I see. He is afraid that the Fifth Prince of David will take advantage of him delivering gifts to control him and assassinate the emperor.]
Originally, everyone's attention was not on the Minister of Rites, but after hearing her thoughts, everyone's eyes were focused on him.
The Minister of Rites, who didn't want too many people to notice him, was very desperate.
Just as he approached the emperor, he suddenly heard Mu Nanjin shout.
[Oh no, the 'Fifth Prince' of the Kingdom of David has taken action. ]
The Minister of Rites' legs suddenly went weak and he knelt on the ground.
Everyone became nervous, and together with the two commanders of the royal guards standing behind the emperor, they looked at the 'Fifth Prince' of the Kingdom of David.
'Fifth Prince': "????"
The Fifth Prince, who was drinking, was sweating all over. Why were they all looking at him? Did they find out that he wanted to attack the emperor? It seemed that tonight was not a good time to do it, and he had no chance to do it. Si Nanfeng was right next to the emperor. It was estimated that if he secretly poisoned the emperor, he would be discovered by Si Nanfeng soon.
Therefore, he didn't dare to take the risk.
I’m afraid we won’t be able to kill the emperor of Daqian this time.
The other envoys from the David Kingdom were already feeling guilty, and now they were being stared at intently by the officials from the Daqian Kingdom, so cold sweats broke out on their palms and backs.
They haven't done anything yet, how come they are being targeted? [Haha, I'm just trying to scare you. The Fifth Prince didn't do anything. Just be at ease. Even if the Fifth Prince wants to do something, he can't control you as long as I'm here.]
The civil and military officials of Daqian Kingdom: "..."
It wasn't just the Minister of Rites who was frightened, okay? The civil officials were also frightened.
Little girl, if there is no situation, please don't scare people in your heart.
These old bones can't stand being scared.
As for the military officers, they only wanted to chop Mu Nanjin with knives.
[Huh? I don't think I shouted out loud just now? Why did the Minister of Rites kneel down in fear? Did he scare himself? ]
The Minister of Rites hurriedly picked up the gift in his hand and knelt down, then greeted Mu Nanjin's ancestors in his heart.
"I wish your Majesty good health and longevity, and hope that your Majesty will open a national school for women and that the river transportation will be smooth."
The latter part of the sentence touched the emperor's heart, and he smiled heartily: "Okay."
The Minister of Rites handed the gift to the chief eunuch, and when An Ran returned to his seat, he quickly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.
Next, the Minister of Works presented a gift.
Only after the offering of gifts did we really enter the enjoyment of eating and drinking.
[Mmm, the chicken tastes good. ]
When Captain Liu heard the sound, he turned around and saw Mu Nanjin biting meat. He lowered his voice and asked angrily, "Where did the food in your mouth come from?"
Mu Nanjin lowered his eyes and looked at the Right Vice Minister of Rites who was sitting in front of them.
Captain Liu: “…”
He had been a guard for so long, but this was the first time he saw a guard dare to eat in front of the emperor at a banquet.
The Right Vice Minister of Rites was also very upset because half of the food on his table was eaten by Mu Nanjin, but the emperor and the guards pretended not to see it.
Captain Liu glanced at the envoys from the Liao Kingdom and the Zhou Kingdom, and pretended to chat with Mu Nanjin: "The Chen Kingdom offered women to seduce the emperor, and the Dawei Kingdom tried to control the Ministry of Rites to assassinate the emperor. What about the Liao Kingdom and the Zhou Kingdom? Why haven't they made any moves in such a long time? Don't they want to assassinate the emperor?"
[Their national strength is not as good as the other three countries. In order to avoid being swallowed up by other countries, they took advantage of the emperor's birthday to go to Daqian to discuss the alliance. Secondly, they came to watch the show, to see how Dachen and David would deal with the emperor, and then see if they could benefit from it. ]
Captain Liu: “…”
Sure enough, they are all guys with bad intentions.
At the hour of Xu, the birthday banquet ended with everyone’s congratulations again.
Deng Xingchao sent envoys from various countries back to the state residence.
After the Jinyiwei left, the envoy of the Great Chen Kingdom sneered, "We have been in the Great Qian Kingdom for many days and still can't find an opportunity to take action. What a bunch of useless people."
The envoy of the Kingdom of David could hear that they were laughing at him, and sneered: "You guys, a bunch of men, are so useful relying on a woman to do things?"
"You..." The envoy from the Kingdom of Dachen glared at the envoy from the Kingdom of David.
The Liao and Zhou kingdoms saw that there was nothing to watch and did not want to get involved in the quarrel, so they returned to their own courtyards.
The envoy of the Kingdom of Dawei said to the envoy of the Kingdom of Dachen: "I wish your princess success soon."
They also figured it out. Whether they assassinated the emperor of Daqian or the princess of Dachen used her beauty to seduce the emperor of Daqian, the final result would be the same. So why should they sacrifice their people to assassinate the emperor?
Great Chen Kingdom: "..."
The envoys from the four countries stayed in Daqian for another three days before bidding farewell to Daqian.
The fourth prince of the Great Chen Kingdom wanted to go to the palace to say goodbye to the Princess of the Great Chen Kingdom, but was told that the Princess of the Great Chen Kingdom was waiting for him on the city tower at the city gate.
At this time, the Princess of Dachen and Mu Nanjin were standing in a room on the city wall.
The fourth prince arrived at the city gate and walked upstairs.
"Fourth brother."
The princess of the Great Chen Kingdom came to the Fourth Prince reluctantly.
The fourth prince also felt reluctant to leave the princess of the Great Chen Kingdom here alone: "I will leave two guards and two maids with you. It will be more convenient for you to do anything with your own people around you."
The princess of the Great Chen Kingdom hesitated for a moment and shook her head: "No need."
"Why?" The Fourth Prince was puzzled.
The princess of the Great Chen Kingdom looked gloomy: "Seeing them makes me think of some very unpleasant things."
Because of her physical condition, she was kept in the palace like a canary, not allowed to go out or communicate with too many people.
The only people she could see every day were four palace maids. She managed to escape but almost lost her virginity.
Therefore, when she learned that she could leave the palace to celebrate the birthday in Daqian Kingdom, she was so happy that she also hoped that she could really control Daqian Kingdom, so that her destiny would no longer be dominated by others.
The wish is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. The emperor of Daqian Kingdom was not affected by her physique as imagined.
fortunately……
The princess of the Great Chen Kingdom couldn't help but look at Mu Nanjin who was waiting for them outside the room.
The fourth prince, who knew her situation, frowned and said, "If you don't have our people by your side, you won't be able to move around in the palace of Daqian Kingdom. It will be very difficult for you to communicate with us."
The Princess of Dachen knew that if she refused again, it would arouse the Fourth Prince's suspicion, so she stopped resisting and said, "Then stay."
The fourth prince hesitated for a moment and asked, "How is your progress with the emperor of Daqian?"
"You saw it at the birthday party. He was not fooled by me. I had to attack him from other places."
The fourth prince lowered his voice and whispered: "This matter cannot be delayed for too long. You must disrupt the court of Daqian Kingdom as soon as possible."
The Princess of Dachen nodded perfunctorily.
It was getting late, and the Fourth Prince could not stay long. He looked at her deeply, then went downstairs and rode away on horseback.
The princess of the Great Chen Kingdom walked up to Mu Nanjin and watched them leave.
The princess of the Great Chen Kingdom looked into the distance and said, "You know what? The time I lived in Xiaoqing Tower was the happiest time of my twenty years. No one was watching me, and I could play outside freely, buy the food I liked, and watch the people on the street talking and laughing. I felt very happy too."
She was not stupid. Mu Nanjin let her feel the sweetness of freedom so that she would not choose to return to being locked up in the palace. The other party did succeed in getting what she wanted.
"As for whether you will regret it later? It depends on whether you can fulfill your promise. If you do, I will naturally not regret it, but..."
She looked at the people the Fourth Prince had left behind for her: "How are they going to solve this? If they knew I wasn't in the palace, they would definitely bring my Fourth Prince back immediately."
Mu Nanjin looked at the four people below him and said, "Leave them to me."
The princess of the Great Chen Kingdom frowned and asked, "Are you going to kill them?"
"Of course not."
Mu Nanjin brought the Princess of Dachen Kingdom and the people left behind by the Fourth Prince back to the room in Xiaoqinglou.
The Fourth Prince's people began to wonder why Mu Nanjin didn't send them back to the palace.
Mu Nanjin said to them: "Look into my eyes."
The Fourth Prince's men could not disobey and met her gaze.
A gleam of light flashed in Mu Nanjin's eyes, and the Fourth Prince's expression suddenly became dazed.
"The girl next to me is called Xijin. From today on, she is the lady of your family. You must not disobey her orders and you must protect her well. Apart from her, no one else can order you to do anything."
The Fourth Prince's men replied dumbly, "Yes."
The princess of the Great Chen Kingdom looked at Mu Nanjin in surprise.
Mu Nanjin said, "I have something to say to your young lady, you guys go outside and wait."
"yes."
Four guards and maids left the room and closed the door behind them.
The Princess of Dachen Kingdom quickly asked: "What did you do to them?"
"I use the Word Spirit Technique, which can seal their original memories through sound, and then implant new thoughts into them, so that they can no longer remember the past. From now on, you will be their master, and no one else can command them, unless someone's Word Spirit Technique is better than mine."
The princess of the Great Chen Kingdom looked at Mu Nanjin and said, "I always feel that you are more than just a ninth-rank Jinyiwei."
Mu Nanjin said: "You forgot that I am also the owner of three brothels."
"That's not what I meant. I..." The princess of the Great Chen Kingdom felt that there was no need to delve into the topic, so she stopped talking: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Let's talk about my charm. I can't control my charm. Once it is released, no matter whether it is a man or a woman, they will turn into a beast and pounce on me."
Mu Nanjin took out two wooden bracelets and put them in her hands: "This is a bracelet I made by myself. The rune on the bracelet on your right wrist can cover up half of your charm. Then men will only be deeply attracted to you, but will not pounce on you madly. If you want to be an ordinary person, show the bracelet on the left. It can completely cover up your charm."
"That's great." The princess of Dachen touched the bracelets lovingly. "How long can their effects last?"
"forever."
The princess of Dachen was overjoyed: "Thank you, Guard Mu."
"In a few days, the capital will hold an Oiran election. You will then show your face in front of everyone. During this period, you can have fun as you like. If you don't have money, ask the madam for it."
"Okay." The Princess of the Great Chen Kingdom thought for a moment and then asked, "You just said that my name is Xijin. Is that the name I use in brothels? Which Xi? Which Jin?"
"What attracts attracts, what attracts gold is gold."
"Gold-absorbing..." The princess of the Great Chen Kingdom didn't quite understand the meaning of this name: "This name is quite special."
Mu Nanjin nodded: "It has extraordinary meaning."
"Okay, from now on I'll be called Xijin." Xijin smiled at her.
Mu Nanjin glanced at the sun outside and said, "It's getting late. I still need to catch someone to guard the brothel for me."
"catch?"
Xijin didn't understand what she meant for a moment, and Mu Nanjin had disappeared from her sight.
"No, gone?" She looked around the room in disbelief: "Wooden Guard."
No one responded to her.
Xi Jin was even more certain that Mu Nanjin was not an ordinary guard, otherwise the emperor would not have allowed Mu Nanjin to take her to the brothel.
…
After leaving Xiaoqing Tower, Mu Nanjin headed towards David Country.
The envoys from the Kingdom of David stopped to rest when they passed a small village at noon.
The Fifth Prince was about to get off the car to have a meal when he suddenly felt danger approaching him. He was startled and then he couldn't move his body or even speak. It was as if an evil spirit had descended and he couldn't control the fear in his heart.
At this time, a gust of wind blew in.
Mu Nanjin appeared in front of the 'Fifth Prince'.
It's her!
The ninth-rank Jinyiwei of the Daqian Kingdom.
The Fifth Prince's eyes widened in disbelief.
The fact that she was able to get into his carriage without making any noise showed that her martial arts skills were even higher than his.
But she did not fight with him that day. She was either hiding her strength or she did not bother with him because he was an envoy.
What are you doing here now? Are you here to kill him? Mu Nanjin said calmly, "Fifth Prince, we meet again. Don't worry. I'm not here to kill you."
The Fifth Prince heaved a sigh of relief.
Just don't kill him.
"Some time ago, you threw a small poisonous snake at me, which made me feel that your poison technique was very effective. I immediately decided to wait until you left Daqian Kingdom and then catch you and use you for my own benefit."
The Fifth Prince: "..."
Did she want him to be her subordinate? Mu Nanjin didn't waste any words. He picked up the peanuts on the table and threw them at the horses outside.
“Oh—”
The horses were frightened and rushed out of the village as fast as they could.
Jin Beiyun hurriedly chased after him: "Senior, where are you going?"
Mu Nanjin in the carriage said in the voice of the 'Fifth Prince': "I suddenly remembered that I have something important to do. I will come back to David Kingdom to find you after I finish it."
Jin Beiyun stopped his horse.
The 'Fifth Prince' in the car: "..."
The other party could even imitate his voice and speak.
About two hours later, the 'Fifth Prince' was finally able to move.
"Where are we going?"
After that, the carriage stopped.
Mu Nanjin said, "We're here."
The Fifth Prince got off the car and saw Xiao Qinglou. He frowned and asked, "Where is this?"
Mu Nanjin simply replied: "A brothel."
The Fifth Prince frowned even more tightly: "Why do you want me to come to the brothel?"
"Be a tortoise."
'Fifth Prince': "!!!!!!"
