The envoys who had originally just glanced at Mu Nanjin looked at Mu Nanjin openly after hearing the words of the fourth princess.
[Huh? Why are you all looking at me? ]
[Could it be that I was the one who broke the rules? ]
The officials of Daqian Kingdom rolled their eyes secretly.
That's you.
As long as you eat a little slower, no one will say that you are not good.
Now, someone has caught me and started talking about me.
The Crown Prince of Daqian pretended not to know who the Fourth Princess was talking about: "I wonder who the person who broke the rules is that the Fourth Princess is talking about?"
The fourth princess sneered: "She is sitting on the prince's lower right hand. I don't believe the prince can't see her."
The princess said in a deep voice: "Fourth sister, you must not be unreasonable."
The fourth princess turned her head away and snorted unhappily.
The eldest princess said to the crown prince of Daqian: "My fourth sister is young, please don't blame me, crown prince."
The prince of Daqian smiled slightly: "It's okay."
[Alas, there are so many rules for eating. Why not just not eat and eat the rules instead? ]
Mu Nanjin slowly took out a piece of silk and wiped her mouth, then bowed to the prince and said, "Prince, the food is non-toxic, you can eat it with peace of mind."
[Ten thousand likes for my wit, hehe. ]
Daqian official: "..."
That's a great excuse.
The envoys of the two countries looked at each other in bewilderment. So she was testing poison? The eldest princess raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Prince, is the female official beside you responsible for testing poison?"
Without waiting for the prince to answer, the fourth princess said angrily, "Bullshit, she only eats what's on her plate. How can she try poison? How does she know that the poisoner didn't put the poison on our plate?"
The eldest princess glared at the fourth princess coldly and said, "Fourth princess, if you continue to act unreasonably, you will be the one who breaks the rules."
The fourth princess did not dare to get angry with the princess and glared at Mu Nanjin angrily.
Mu Nanjin said calmly: "If the Fourth Princess is worried about the food on your table, you can exchange it with me."
"I don't want to eat your saliva."
The Crown Prince of Jiuyu State picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of food and said, "We are just having a meal together, but you keep mentioning this rule and that rule. Aren't you tired of it? If you like to talk about rules so much, why don't you just copy the rules and not eat instead?"
The fourth princess suppressed her anger and said, "I don't believe that you, the Nine Territories, don't follow the rules."
The prince of Jiuyu Kingdom sneered: "Rules must be followed, but they will not be followed on other people's territory. Let me ask you, do you understand the rules of Daqian Kingdom? What if the rule of Daqian Kingdom is that the ministers pick up the chopsticks first, then where do your rules come from?"
The fourth princess: “…”
[Oh, the character of the prince of Jiuyu Kingdom is very much to my liking. I have decided to do business in Jiuyu Kingdom in the future, and then use the money I earn to buy food from other countries to support my son, hehe.]
Officials of Daqian Kingdom: "..."
You are here to entertain the envoys, not to choose where to do business.
The prince of Daqian State picked up the wine glass and said, "Friendship comes first, and rules come second. We should not hurt the harmony for a little rule. In order to welcome the envoys of the two countries to visit Daqian State, I will drink first as a sign of respect."
This statement can also be regarded as a way to ask everyone not to mention what happened just now.
The envoys of both countries raised their glasses and toasted each other.
Mu Nanjin also took a sip of wine.
【Well?】
She looked at the wine glass in confusion?
【Why is my wine tea? 】
【Did you take the wrong one? 】
Captain Liu, who was patrolling outside the door, couldn't help laughing.
This was not because he was afraid that she would get drunk and talk nonsense, so when serving the dishes, he asked the chief eunuch to replace Mu Nanjin's wine with tea.
After the meal, the Minister of Rites invited the envoys from both countries to rest.
The second prince chuckled: "Mu Nanjin is a girl, so the prince is reluctant to punish her."
The Third Prince frowned and said, "This is just a woman's kindness. If the Emperor knew about this, how would I explain it to him?"
The crown prince glanced at the three princes who wanted to pick on him, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "My three royal brothers, it's not me who is reluctant to punish her, but father."
"Father is reluctant to punish her?"
The three princes expressed disbelief.
The prince added: "If you don't believe it, you can go back and tell the emperor about this matter and ask him how to deal with her."
Don't even think about it, Mu Nanjin was promoted from a seventh-rank official to a first-rank official overnight. It goes without saying that Mu Nanjin was highly valued by the emperor.
Even though he couldn't hear the inner voice, he knew that Mu Nanjin had an unshakable position in the emperor's heart.
The prince did not say much to them. After leaving the state residence, he returned to his own East Palace.
The three princes looked at each other.
The second prince said: "I think the crown prince is reluctant to punish Mu Nanjin, so he uses my father to pressure us."
The Third Prince looked at him and said, "You mean my brother likes Mu Nanjin?"
"If it weren't for the Crown Prince speaking well of her in front of the Emperor, how could a powerless girl like her be promoted from the seventh rank to the first rank? Even if she is good at martial arts and has a way to make people younger, the Emperor can't let her be promoted several ranks in a row. The third rank is the limit, but she is now the first rank. Don't you think there is something fishy going on?"
The eldest prince nodded and said, "Second brother is right. We should tell Father about this matter and let Father know how absurd the people promoted by the Crown Prince are."
"Isn't this bad?" The third prince didn't want to do this.
The second prince said: "The crown prince asked us to tell father, what's wrong with that?"
The Third Prince: “…”
The three princes returned to the palace and told the emperor what Mu Nanjin had done.
After hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but smile: "It's really rare that she didn't cause any big trouble today."
The three princes were stunned, and the second prince asked: "Father, won't you punish her?"
The emperor asked him in return: "Why punish her?"
The eldest prince said anxiously, "Father, Mu Nanjin almost lost the face of the Great Qian Kingdom. Are we just going to let it go like this?"
The second prince followed up by saying, "Yes, father, you can't indulge Mu Nanjin just because she is the prince's person. You don't know what she will do in the future."
"The prince's men?"
The emperor finally understood the real purpose of his three sons coming to see him in the imperial study.
These sons seemed to be talking about Mu Nanjin, but in fact they wanted to use Mu Nanjin as an excuse to let him scold the prince.
The emperor sighed inwardly.
Even though he had already appointed a crown prince, there were still some princes who were obsessed with the throne.
This throne is destined to prevent all the princes from living in harmony.
The emperor stood up suddenly and said sternly, "You have made a mistake about one thing. Mu Nanjin is not the prince's person, but an important official of Daqian State. Daqian State cannot do without her. Even if she provokes a war between the two countries, I will not touch her at all."
The three princes looked at the emperor in disbelief. They were really surprised that the emperor valued Mu Nanhuan so much.
The second prince stammered, "Father, didn't you promote her to the first rank because she is the crown prince?"
The emperor angrily slammed the table and said, "Am I such a ridiculous person?"
The three princes knelt down in fear: "Father, please calm down."
The emperor snorted angrily.
The second prince still had doubts in his heart. He was so anxious that he asked, "Father, I want to know why you promoted her to the first rank. Aren't you afraid that the officials will complain?"
After thinking it over, he could only conclude that his father was unwilling to punish Mu Nanjin because she had a way to make people younger.
"You don't need to know this. You just need to know that Mu Nanjin..." The emperor said word by word, "She herself is a token of immunity from death. No one can let her die, let alone punish her."
The three princes: "..."
