But no one expected that after Mu Nanjin became the Duke of Zhenguo, the first place he would go to was the Imperial Clan Mansion, which made everyone curious and nervous.

I don't know if she was worried about Mu Nanjin or felt that the royal family was unlucky. If she accidentally uncovered a little secret, it could cause unrest in the entire royal family.

"Mu Nanjin, why do you want to go to the Imperial Clan Palace?"

Captain Liu, who was taken to the Imperial Clan's Mansion, almost knelt down before her.

You said you would go if you wanted to, but why did you have to take him and his people with you?

They were just ordinary officials who could not be more ordinary and could not afford to offend the royal family. If they were hated by the royal family, the other party would probably find all kinds of ways to deal with them.

Mu Nanjin said: "I have never been there and I want to go and see it."

Actually, it’s not a big deal if you just go for a walk.

The point is that she knows too much.

It would be fine if she didn't say it, but the problem is that she can't control her feelings.

Captain Liu turned around and said, "Please allow me to go back and report."

Mu Nanjin frowned slightly: "Why do you need to report it?"

"If anything goes wrong, the governor can help us carry it."

Captain Liu was not afraid of anything happening to himself, but was afraid of implicating his family.

The royal family is most concerned with rooting out the evil. Once someone angers them, they will not just take it out on you, but will also bring disaster to the innocent whole family.

Mu Nanjin was speechless.

[How big of a problem can I get if I just go for a walk? ]

"If anything happens, I will protect you and will not let anyone from the Imperial Clan Palace hurt you at all."

Captain Liu turned around and smiled at her: "I've been waiting for you to say that."

Mu Nanjin: “…”

The Imperial Clan's Mansion is not far from the Commandant's Mansion. If you ride a fast horse, you can reach the outside of the Imperial Clan's Mansion in half a cup of tea.

The two youngest brothers of the Emperor were in charge of the Imperial Clan House, one was Prince Guang and the other was Prince Yi. As for the other managers, there were many royal children and some were ordinary officials. They were relatively idle on weekdays, and the only things that kept them busy were marriages, funerals, and temple sacrifices.

So when they heard that the Duke of Zhenguo was coming to the Royal Clan Mansion, everyone thought they had heard it wrong.

Prince Guang put down the teacup in his hand and asked again: "Who? Who did you say is here?"

The guard said, "It was Mu Nanjin, the only female official of the Duke of Zhenguo."

Prince Yi stood up quickly: "Why is she here?"

They had only met Mu Nanjin a few times, but had never spoken to each other and had no chance to contact each other. Why did the other party come to the Imperial Clan Mansion?

A whim? But there was no place worth her coming here.

The guard said, "She said she wanted to come here to take a look, and now she has entered the door."

Prince Yi asked anxiously, "Entered the house? Why did you let her in?"

"She has the Imperial Sword, and anyone who tries to stop her will be killed."

Prince Yi and Prince Guang: "..."

Prince Guang thought for a moment and told the guards, "Pass the order down. No one should provoke her or talk to her. When she gets bored, she will leave on her own to avoid any trouble."

Prince Yi agreed with Prince Guang's approach.

Although they were not familiar with Mu Nanjin, they had heard a lot about her. This person was not easy to provoke and should not be provoked.

"yes."

The guards retreated.

Prince Yi asked Prince Guang, "Should we go and receive her?"

Prince Yi frowned and said, "We are the royal family after all. How can we see an official hiding like a mouse seeing a cat? That would only make people think that our royal family is cowardly."

"How about you go and receive her?"

"Go ahead. As long as I am polite, how can she still be unreasonable?"

Prince Yi lifted his robe and walked out of the main hall.

Prince Guang was worried and followed him.

They rushed all the way from the main hall to the gate and found Mu Nanjin standing inside the door staring at the big pillar.

[Is this a pillar made of golden nanmu? ]

[How much is such a thick pillar worth? ]

[It should be tens of thousands of taels of gold, right? ]

[I glanced over and saw dozens of golden nanmu trees in the front yard alone. It was more magnificent than any other government office. It was indeed the imperial palace. The government office that served the royal family was so magnificent. Seeing it, I wanted to remove the pillars and install them in my own palace.]

When Captain Liu saw the two princes coming, he coughed and said, "Duke, the two princes are here."

Mu Nanjin withdrew his gaze and saw two middle-aged men walking out. They were wearing the official uniforms of princes.

She bowed and said, "Meet the two princes."

Captain Liu and his men also followed suit and saluted.

Prince Yi said with a smile, "Duke, how come you have time to come to the Imperial Clan's Mansion? Is there something going on?"

Mu Nanjin said, "The emperor told me to visit every government office when I have time. The first place I thought of was the Imperial Clan Mansion, so I came here. If you don't have time, you don't have to ask me. I'll just take a look and leave."

"It's rare for the Duke to come to the Imperial Clan Palace. No matter how busy we are, we must take the time to greet the Duke." Prince Yi made a gesture of invitation: "Duke, please come in."

Mu Nanjin followed the two princes in, but along the way, he didn't see anyone else except the guards.

[Why don’t I see other members of the royal family? Is the Royal Family Mansion closed today? ]

[But why are the two princes still in the Imperial Clan Palace? Or is there no work in the palace, so everyone has gone back? ]

[The work in the Imperial Clan Palace is really leisurely. ]

[That's right. Apart from being in charge of the royal family's registration, they have nothing else to do, so they are mostly idle people.]

[By the way, isn't this the place that the royal family members are most afraid to come to? But this place doesn't look scary at all. ]

Mu Nanjin asked casually, "What official duties do the two princes usually perform in the Imperial Palace?"

Prince Yi didn't want to tell her too much, so he just said, "We are not busy on weekdays, so we just check the family tree and royal register."

[It’s great to be a royal family. You don’t have to do anything to get paid.]

[Does the emperor know that they are so idle? ]

[If I were the emperor, I would definitely send these royal descendants and nobles to the military camp to train them, so that they would not just run away when other countries attack them.]

Mu Nanjin glanced at the abdomens of the two princes.

[Look, their bellies have become fatter, like pregnant women in their tenth month of pregnancy. They should be able to give birth in a few days, hehe.]

Captain Liu and his men glanced at the two princes' stomachs.

The two princes were holding back their anger and remained silent.

Captain Liu coughed lightly and said, "Duke, if we have finished our tour, let's go back."

Mu Nanjin said: "Don't worry, I still want to see the royal family tree."

This is too much.

Captain Liu was about to think of a way to stop them, but he heard Prince Yi say, "Duke, this way please." (End of this chapter)
