Chapter 377 She Is a Death-Free Token
The envoys who had only glanced at Mu Nanjin a few times 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 am the one who said that I broke the rules? ]
The officials of Daqian Kingdom rolled their eyes secretly.
I mean you.
If you just eat a little slower, people won’t say that you are not.
Now, someone has caught you and made a fuss.
The prince of Daqian Kingdom pretended not to know who the fourth princess was talking about: "I don’t know who the fourth princess said that broke the rules is?"
The fourth princess sneered: "She is sitting on the prince’s right hand, I believe the prince can’t see it."
The eldest princess said in a deep voice: "Fourth sister, don’t be unreasonable."
The fourth princess turned her head away and snorted unhappily.
The eldest princess said to the prince of Daqian Kingdom: "Fourth sister is young, please don’t blame me."
The prince of Daqian Kingdom smiled slightly: "It doesn’t matter."
[Alas, there are so many rules for eating, just don’t eat, change to eating rules. 】
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: "..."
This excuse is really good.
The envoys of the two countries looked at each other, so she was testing poison?
The eldest princess raised her eyebrows unexpectedly: "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. What kind of poison is she testing? How does she know that the poisoner didn't put the poison on our plate?"
The eldest princess glared at the fourth princess coldly: "Fourth sister, if you continue to make trouble, you will be the one who breaks the rules."
The fourth princess didn't dare to be 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 change the food with me."
"I don't want to eat your saliva."
The prince of Jiuyu Kingdom picked up the chopsticks and ate a bite of food and said: "It's just a meal together. You keep mentioning this rule and that rule. Aren't you annoyed? If you like to talk about rules so much, you might as well copy the rules and don't eat."
The fourth princess suppressed her anger and said: "I don't believe that you don't follow the rules in Jiuyu Kingdom."
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 start to eat 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 that I will do business in Jiuyu Kingdom in the future, and then use the money I earn to buy food from other countries to feed my son, hehe. 】
Officials of Daqian: "..."
You are here to entertain the envoys, not to choose where to do business.
The prince of Daqian picked up the wine glass and said, "Friendship comes first, rules come second. We should not hurt the harmony for a little rule. In order to welcome the envoys of the two countries to Daqian, I will drink first as a sign of respect."
This statement can be regarded as a way to stop everyone from talking about what happened just now.
The envoys of the two countries picked up their wine glasses and toasted each other.
Mu Nanjin also took a sip of wine.
【Huh? 】
She looked at the wine glass in confusion?
【Why is my wine tea? 】
【Wrong? 】
Liu Qianhu, who was patrolling outside the door, couldn't help laughing.
It 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 dinner, the Minister of Rites entertained the envoys of the two countries to rest.
The three princes of Daqian came to the crown prince to express their dissatisfaction. The eldest prince asked: "Brother, Mu Nanjin broke the rules when eating. Why didn't you punish her? Wouldn't everyone make the same mistake as her in the future?"
The second prince chuckled: "Mu Nanjin is a girl, so the crown prince is reluctant to punish her."
The third prince frowned and said: "This is a woman's kindness. If the emperor knew about this, how would the emperor explain it?"
The crown prince glanced at the three princes who wanted to pick on him, and his mouth curled up slightly: "Three brothers, it's not me who is reluctant to punish her, but the emperor."
"The emperor is reluctant to punish her?"
The three princes expressed disbelief.
The crown prince said again: "If you don't believe it, you can tell the emperor about this matter after you go back and ask the emperor how to deal with her."
Don't think about it. Mu Nanjin can jump from a seventh-rank official to a first-rank official overnight. It doesn't take much to know that Mu Nanjin is valued by the emperor.
Even if he couldn't hear the inner voice, he knew that Mu Nanjin had an unshakable position in the emperor's heart.
The prince didn't say much to them, and left the state residence and returned to his own East Palace.
The three princes looked at each other.
The second prince said: "I think the prince is reluctant to punish Mu Nanjin, so he uses the emperor to pressure us."
The third prince looked at him: "Do you mean that the emperor's brother likes Mu Nanjin?"
"If the prince hadn't spoken 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 was good at martial arts and had a way to make people younger, the emperor couldn't let her be promoted several ranks in a row. The third rank was the limit, but she is now from the first rank. Don't you think there is something fishy?"
The eldest prince nodded: "Second brother is right, we should tell the emperor about this matter and let him know that the people promoted by the prince are so absurd."
"Isn't this bad?" The third prince didn't want to do this.
The second prince said: "The prince asked us to tell the emperor, 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 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 back: "Why punish her?"
The eldest prince said anxiously: "Father, Mu Nanjin almost lost the face of Daqian Kingdom, are you just going to let it go?"
The second prince followed and said: "Yes, father, you can't indulge her just because Mu Nanjin is the prince's person. You don't know what she will do in the future."
"The prince's person?"
The emperor finally understood the real intention of his three sons to come to the imperial study to see him.
These sons were talking about Mu Nanjin on the surface, but in fact they wanted to use Mu Nanjin to let him scold the prince.
The emperor sighed in his heart.
He had already appointed the prince, but there were still princes who were obsessed with the throne.
This throne was destined to make it impossible for all the princes to live 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 Kingdom. Daqian Kingdom 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 prince's person?"
The emperor slammed the table angrily: "Am I such a ridiculous person?"
The three princes knelt down in fear: "Father, calm down."
The emperor snorted angrily.
The second prince still had doubts in his heart. He was really anxious and 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 about it, he could only think that his father didn't dare 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 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."
Three princes: "..." (End of this chapter)
