Chapter 378 Isn’t this outrageous? (Second update)
The next day, Mu Nanjin came to the state residence early in the morning to have a delicious breakfast with the princes.
After the meal, the Minister of Rites arranged for the envoys of the two countries to come to the palace to meet the emperor.
Mu Nanjin came to the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, Mr. Zhou, and asked: "Why didn't your Ministry of Rites arrange for the envoys of the two countries to visit Wansheng Garden?"
[A few years ago, I left before I finished visiting it. ]
[This time I wanted to visit it, but the Ministry of Rites didn't arrange it. Are they deliberately going against me? ]
Mr. Zhou was embarrassed. He lowered his voice and explained in a low voice: "Among the five countries, our Daqian country was the most powerful. Putting the meeting with the emperor last is to show our national prestige."
[What national prestige? It's obvious that they want to show off. 】
Lord Zhou coughed uncomfortably: "This time is different. Our Daqian Kingdom is the weakest among all countries. We naturally put the meeting with the emperor first to show our respect for the envoys of the two countries. As for the Wansheng Garden, we will not go. The envoys of the two countries are from medium-sized countries. They can get whatever animals they want. Why would they want to see the animals in our Wansheng Garden? If we really go, we will not only fail to show our strength, but also be looked down upon by the envoys of the two countries. We should not humiliate ourselves."
Mu Nanjin asked: "Does Daqian Kingdom have anything to show to deter the envoys of the two countries?"
"Your question is very heartbreaking." Lord Zhou sighed: "But, it really doesn't. This time Daqian Kingdom will be laughed at."
"Who said there is no?"
Lord Zhou was stunned: "Is there? What is it?"
They racked their brains but couldn't think of anything that would be pleasing to the two countries' delegations.
Mu Nanjin put his hand on his shoulder and pulled him aside to whisper a few words.
Lord Zhou's eyes became brighter and brighter: "Okay, okay, okay."
But after being happy, he was embarrassed again: "I can't make the decision on this matter, I need to discuss it."
"Just say it was me who said it, and they will definitely agree."
"Okay, I'll go ask."
Lord Zhou walked towards the Minister of Rites with a happy face.
[Hee hee——]
[Hee hee——]
[Hee hee——]
The officials of Daqian Kingdom heard Mu Nanjin's laughter one after another, and they couldn't help but secretly glance at her.
[Hee hee——]
[Hee hee——]
Captain Liu couldn't help but walked to Mu Nanjin and said: "What did you say to Lord Zhou just now?"
Mu Nanjin said lightly: "Nothing."
[Hee hee——]
"If there was nothing..." Captain Liu pointed at her eyes: "Why are your eyes smiling so happily?"
They were almost brainwashed by her laughter.
[No way? My eyes are smiling? ]
[I am a person who doesn't show any emotions, how could my eyes smile? ]
[Captain Liu is lying. 】
With a swish, Mu Nanjin drew out the knife from her waist.
Liu Qianhu was startled by her: "Why did you draw the knife?"
Mu Nanjin did not answer him, but looked at the reflection in the knife and put it back.
[My eyes are not smiling. ]
[Or have I already smiled? ]
Liu Qianhu: "..."
When approaching the palace, the sound of drums "dong dong dong" came from the direction of the palace gate, followed by the sound of welcoming music, which shows that the emperor attaches great importance to the two countries' delegations. In addition, the red carpet was laid from the palace gate to the outside of the Taijin Palace, and the palace guards also lined up to welcome them, making the two countries' delegations feel the enthusiasm of the Daqian Kingdom.
Mu Nanjin really didn't like the scene of politeness and politeness, so he stood at the door of the Taijin Palace and didn't go in with the people from the Ministry of Rites.
Liu Qianhu came over and asked, "Why are you standing at the door and not going in?"
Mu Nanjin said honestly, "I'm not interested in their conversation."
"Does this require you to be interested?" Liu Qianhu said unhappily, "Is it appropriate for you, a first-rank official, to stand at the door?"
Mu Nanjin: "..."
Liu Qianhu lowered his voice, "Why don't you go in quickly."
"Oh."
Mu Nanjin walked into the hall and suddenly thought of a question.
[I, a first-rank official, actually listened to the words of a fifth-rank official. Isn't this inappropriate? ]
Liu Qianhu was really amused and angry.
Mu Nanjin walked towards the Minister of Rites and his men. After seeing that the people around the Minister of Rites were all wearing civil officials' uniforms, she felt that the civil officials' team was not suitable for her, so she turned around and walked to the end of the military officer team.
The general at the end of the line whispered, "Lord Mu, you are a higher official than me, so you should be in front of me."
Mu Nanjin walked in front of him, and the general in front of her said again, "Lord Mu, you are now a first-rank official, so you should be in the front."
She had no choice but to walk to the front and stand in front of a group of officials wearing purple court robes. Her bright red flying fish robe was very conspicuous, and the envoys of the two countries saw her at a glance.
The fourth princess whispered, "Isn't she just a small official in charge of testing poisons? Why can she enter the hall and be in front of the officials?"
The envoy standing next to her whispered back to her, "Yesterday, I secretly observed that although the attitude of the officials of Daqian Kingdom towards the female officials was not very respectful, they were not angry when the female officials spoke coldly to them. I guess her official position is not low, and she can stand in front of the officials. She may be a first- or second-rank official."
The fourth princess was surprised: "First- or second-rank official?"
She thought that Mu Nanjin was able to sit in the position of the prince's assistant because she helped the prince test poisons, but she never thought that the other party's official rank was so high.
"You see she has a sword on her waist, and she is allowed to bring it into the palace. It shows that she is not only of high official rank, but also a highly regarded military attache. If she can be a first or second-grade military attache, her military rank must be high. , but the strange thing is that she looks like a weak little girl who only knows a little bit about kung fu. "
The fourth princess asked: "Can you see her martial arts?"
The envoy shook his head: "I can't tell, or maybe I guessed wrong."
The fourth princess said disdainfully: "Even if she is the highest martial artist in the entire Daqian Kingdom, she is definitely not as good as our military attachés. We are a medium-sized country, and Daqian Kingdom is just a small country that has just merged. It is difficult for their warriors to surpass us. "
The envoy thought it made sense: "The fourth princess is right."
"You know what to do?"
The fourth princess glanced at Mu Nanjin, and the envoy understood: "I know."
After the two men finished whispering, the envoy in front turned around and said, "Fourth Princess, follow me quickly."
The fourth princess was confused: "Where to go?"
They were just chatting privately and did not notice the conversation between the emperor and the eldest princess.
"The emperor of Daqian Kingdom invited us to attend a banquet in the Imperial Garden."
"oh."
The fourth princess followed their footsteps and saw Mu Nanjin following the emperor on his left. On the emperor's right were the eldest princess and the prince of the Nine Domains Kingdom, while the prince of the Daqian Kingdom actually lagged behind Mu Nanjin. This made her even more curious about Mu Nanjin's identity.
Mu Nanjin was in a state of confusion and did not notice anyone looking at her.
[Coming, coming, hee hee. 】(End of this chapter)
