Nian Nian sent a letter to her parents by carrier pigeon, telling them about the change in her marriage and asking them to come to Kyoto to make the decision.
She was waiting for her parents to return to Beijing, so she often went to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After half a month of getting to know each other, Nian Nian knew Mu Shijin's background.
Mu Shijin's parents died early, and he has been dependent on his grandfather. Three years ago, not long after he became the top scorer in high school, his grandfather passed away.
He had been in mourning for his grandfather for three years and had just finished the mourning period at the beginning of the year.
Many matchmakers came to the house to inquire about Mu Shijin's preferences, but they were all perfunctorily answered by Mu Shijin, and some of them did not even get to see Mu Shijin.
Rumors spread in Kyoto City that Mu Shijin was inhumane.
However, she still had to verify it herself to find out whether this was a rumor or not.
Nian Nian already knew Mu Shijin's whereabouts. Mu Shijin left the Prime Minister's Mansion at 1 a.m. every day and did not return until 3 p.m.
She came to see Mu Shijin at 3 p.m., and usually only had to wait for a quarter of an hour or two to see him.
"My Lord Prime Minister! Today is a little earlier than yesterday. Do you want to come back earlier to see this princess?" Nian Nian said with a smile.
Mu Shijin: ...
How did he know she was waiting for him at home?
"Why is the princess here again?" Mu Shijin's question was equivalent to denying Nian Nian's previous question.
Nian Nian curled her lips. "Of course I'm here to have dinner with the Prime Minister! This way, the Prime Minister won't feel lonely, right?"
Mu Shijin went straight in and spoke only after he sat down, "Princess, are you really not afraid of damaging your reputation by making such a fuss?"
She often comes to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so I guess a lot of rumors have spread, right?
He doesn't care about these rumors, but Nian Nian is just a little girl after all. Is she really not afraid of these?
Nian Nian pursed her lips. "This princess's reputation is ruined. Will the Prime Minister be responsible?"
Her reputation was ruined because of Mu Shijin, so he should be held responsible, right?
Mu Shijin said seriously, "No! Princess, this is your own fault. What does it have to do with me?"
Nian Nian bit her lip, "You... Prime Minister, you have no sympathy for women at all. How am I unworthy of you?"
She is young and beautiful, how could she not be worthy of Mu Shijin?
Mu Shijin has always been cold and indifferent to her. Could it be that he is really not capable enough?
But he said it himself that it was a rumor, so he should have no reason to lie to her.
Whether it is a rumor or fact, you will know if you try it.
"The princess is indeed a good person, but she has nothing to do with me," Mu Shijin explained.
Nian Nian was not discouraged. "If the Prime Minister wants to have a relationship with this princess, then that's easy. Send someone to propose marriage. If he marries me, then we will be related, right?"
Mu Shijin smiled faintly, "Princess, please don't joke. You should go back early."
"I won't! Prime Minister, three days later is your day off. Would you like to accompany me to Tianquan Manor?" Nian Nian continued.
But Mu Shijin didn't take the bait, "I don't want to!"
"You..." Nian Nian gnashed her teeth in anger, "If you don't agree, I will go to my brother and report you for flirting with me!"
Mu Shijin remained unmoved, "Princess, please do as you please."
Nian Nian: ...
After she came of age, all the men were vying for her. Even Ye Taoan was bewitched by her. But Mu Shijin was totally unmoved.
She was so proactive, but he was unwilling to give her any response.
"Prime Minister, what do you want me to do in exchange for accompanying you to Tianquan Manor?" Nian Nian wanted to make a deal with him.
Mu Shijin was silent for a long while before he spoke, "Why did the princess go to Tianquan Manor?"
"Of course I went to take a hot spring bath!" Nian Nian did not hide it.
Mu Shijin looked at her quietly, "Shall I go to the hot spring with the princess?"
She could actually come up with this idea for a single man and a single woman!
"That's right! I am not afraid of a weak woman like you. Could it be that the Prime Minister is afraid that I will eat you?" Nian Nian used the method of provoking the enemy.
If they go to the hot spring, she will be able to confirm whether Mu Shijin is really inhumane as the rumors say.
If he really had a problem, she could pull herself away in time. If he had no problem, hehe! Then it would be difficult for him to escape from her grasp.
"I am indeed scared." Mu Shijin answered seriously.
Nian Nian: ...
She just felt that she was completely defeated. Is this Mu Shijin really a human being?
You can't flatter him, you can't please him, and you can't irritate him.
How can we subdue him?
"In one word! Are you going or not?" Nian Nian finally lost her patience completely.
Just when she thought she was going to fail, Mu Shijin surprised her again.
"Go! The princess is not afraid, so I, a tall and strong man, naturally don't want to lose to the princess." Mu Shijin agreed.
Nian Nian was overjoyed, "The Prime Minister has agreed?"
Mu Shijin nodded in agreement.
Nian Nian was afraid that he would go back on his word, so she reached out to make a pinky promise with him, "It's a deal. Whoever breaks it is a dog!"
Mu Shijin cooperated with her helplessly.
Nian Nian achieved her goal and left with satisfaction.
Looking at Nian Nian's back as she skipped away, Mu Shijin's smile gradually brightened.
Three days later, Nian Nian came to the Prime Minister's residence early in the morning to pick up Mu Shijin.
Mu Shijin: ...
Did she really not trust him? He said he would go, and he would not break his promise.
What's more, he won't be the one who suffers.
Wei Niannian didn't care, so he was naturally happy to accompany her.
"Princess, do you really not trust me?" Mu Shijin rarely took the initiative to question Nian Nian.
Nian Nian curled her lips, "Just in case! Otherwise, if I go to Tianquan Manor and the Prime Minister doesn't go, wouldn't my trip be in vain?"
The two of them sat in the carriage, and Nian Nian stared at Mu Shijin openly.
"Prime Minister, have we met somewhere before? Why do I feel like you look familiar?" Nian Nian asked curiously.
She seemed to have seen Mu Shijin's eyes before!
Such beautiful eyes will definitely leave an impression on her once she sees them.
"Princess, where do you think we have met before?" Mu Shijin asked back.
Nian Nian shook her head truthfully, "I don't remember! If I did remember, would I need to ask you, Prime Minister?"
Mu Shijin remained silent and stopped talking.
Nian Nian curled her lips, leaned against the carriage and said no more.
The two came to Tianquan Manor, which was very deserted. Apart from a few maids and nannies, there were no other guests.
"Isn't it said that Tianquan Manor is the most annoying place in Kyoto City? Why is it so deserted?" Nian Nian said in confusion as she walked in.
It is true that what you hear is not as good as what you see.
She can't just believe it, she has to verify it herself before she can draw a conclusion.
"Prime Minister, have you ever been to Tianquan Manor?" Nian Nian suddenly turned around and asked Mu Shijin.
Mu Shijinye didn't hide it from her, "I've been here a few times."
He paused and added, "I came here with my colleagues."
"Then you lead the way!" Nian Nian directly asked him to take her to choose a hot spring.
Mu Shijin smiled helplessly. He led Nian Nian to a compartment and said, "The princess will stay here."
He finished speaking and was about to turn and leave, but Nian Nian grabbed him and said, "Prime Minister, what about you?"
