Chapter 384: Long Time No See (Part 3)

"A gift from Lord Mu?"

The princess and Sheng Linmeng were slightly stunned, looked at each other, and said, "What gift is it?"

The maid said, "I don't know."

"Put it on the table."

"Yes."

The maid put the tray on the table and left.

Sheng Linmeng was puzzled: "Why did this Mu Nanjin give the princess a gift?"

The princess ordered, "Open the red cloth first."

"Yes."

Sheng Linmeng was afraid that Mu Nanjin would hurt them, so she carefully opened the red cloth, and a beautiful round box appeared in their sight.

"This is..."

The princess said again, "You will know what it is when you open the box."

Sheng Linmeng carefully unscrewed the lid of the box again, and inside was a transparent ointment with a faint fragrance.

"Princess, be careful, it's poisonous, hold your breath."

She quickly covered her mouth and nose.

The princess was not nervous at all. She walked to the tray and picked up the note on the tray. It said: This box of facial cream is called Holy Cream. Please give it to Lord Sheng or other martial saints. You will see the effect tomorrow morning.

The princess raised her eyebrows.

Sheng Linmeng was puzzled: "Why is it specifically for us?"

The princess was also puzzled. After thinking for a while, she said: "You should find someone to test whether it is poisonous. If it is not poisonous, you can do as she says."

"Yes."

Sheng Linmeng went to find the imperial physician and confirmed that it was not poisonous before applying it on the right side of her face.

The princess asked: "What do you feel?"

Sheng Linmeng felt it carefully: "No feeling. Princess, what is her intention?"

The princess said: "I don't know, but my intuition tells me that it is related to her search for the prince of Jiuyu Kingdom. We can only wait patiently and know the result tomorrow morning."

"It can only be like this."

The next morning, the first thing Sheng Linmeng did when he opened his eyes was to pick up the bronze mirror next to him.

At first, she didn't notice anything unusual, and it took her a long time to figure out what was wrong.

She hurriedly picked up a piece of silk to cover the right side of her face and rushed to the eldest princess's bedroom: "Princess, Princess, look at your face."

The eldest princess guessed from her excited tone that the facial cream Mu Nanjin gave her yesterday was a good thing.

Sheng Linmeng put down the silk in her hand: "Princess, look at the difference?"

The eldest princess compared her left face with her right face, which was smooth and tender, and the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes disappeared, and even the nasolabial folds disappeared.

"This..."

The eldest princess showed a surprised look: "Your right face has become younger."

"Yes, it has become younger. The facial cream Mu Nanjin gave me is amazing." Sheng Linmeng smiled and touched her left face and said: "I have a young face now, and a woman's face on the other half. It's very weird when put together. I should have applied it all over my face."

Now she regrets it very much.

The princess said, "Put the rouge on your left cheek again."

"Yes." Sheng Linmeng was very happy and no longer as cautious as yesterday.

The princess said to her maid, "When Lord Mu comes later, please invite her to my bedroom."

"Yes."

Near the time of noon, Mu Nanjin rushed to the state residence again for breakfast.

After breakfast, the princess's maid invited Mu Nanjin to the princess' bedroom for a chat.

[I knew that the princess and her friends couldn't resist this temptation, hehe. ]

The Minister of Rites asked Lord Zhou, "Temptation? What temptation?"

Lord Zhou didn't understand, "You have to ask Captain Liu."

Captain Liu could guess what Mu Nanjin had done with his toes.

"She must have sent her rouge to the princess. When the princess knows the magical effect of rouge, she will definitely buy it from her, or she wants to do business in September."

As expected of Captain Liu, who had been with Mu Nanjin for a while, he really understood Mu Nanjin's thoughts.

The Minister of Rites was ashamed: "Does she like making money so much?"

Lord Zhou said: "Fortunately, she only sells rouge. If she sells wine, it will help them become stronger."

Captain Liu said: "With her personality, she will definitely sell wine as well."

Lord Zhou widened his eyes: "No way? How could she, how could she do that? What if they increase their strength and attack us later?"

"Although her voice makes people think she is an unreliable person, she has never disappointed people in her work." Captain Liu believes in Mu Nanjin: "She will never do anything to let down the Great Qian Kingdom."

Lord Zhou was relieved when he heard Captain Liu's affirmation.

The Minister of Rites approached Captain Liu and whispered: "Captain Liu, you will ask Mu Nanjin about the purpose of the two countries' visit to the market later."

"Okay." Captain Liu also wanted to know the purpose of the two countries' visit.

About half an hour later, Mu Nanjin left the Princess's bedroom.

[Money comes, money comes, money comes from all directions, hehe. 】

Officials of Daqian Kingdom: "..."

Captain Liu coughed lightly: "Mu Nanjin, come with me."

Mu Nanjin followed him to an empty grocery room.

"What's the matter?"

Liu Qianhu said: "Nothing, I just want to ask why the princess is looking for someone?"

Mu Nanjin said honestly: "Oh, I negotiated a big deal with her."

Liu Qianhu pretended to be surprised and said: "Apart from this, there is nothing else?"

"No."

"Didn't she tell you the purpose of coming to Daqian this time?"

"Purpose? She didn't..."

Mu Nanjin wanted to say no, but seeing Liu Qianhu anxious, he changed his words and said: "They came to Daqian to see the strength of Daqian, and then consider whether to form an alliance with Daqian. The same is true for Jiuyu."

"Alliance?" Liu Qianhu was surprised and said: "Are they really here to form an alliance? Judging from their attitude, it doesn't seem like an alliance."

"They are just testing whether Daqian is worth forming an alliance with them. Of course, they won't be too friendly. But don't worry, judging from the fact that they are willing to do business with me, they are likely to be willing to form an alliance with Daqian."

[If they don't form an alliance with us, I won't do business with them. 】

Captain Liu said happily: "It would be great if they are really willing to form an alliance with us. Daqian Kingdom will no longer be fighting alone."

Mu Nanjin said: "The alliance cannot be spread randomly."

"Of course, we will wait for them to bring it up themselves."

Captain Liu did not say much to Mu Nanjin, and immediately told the Minister of Rites and the Emperor about this matter.

Mu Nanjin still had to prepare the contract, so he did not stay in the state residence, and then asked someone to prepare the contract.

After the contract was ready, it was taken to the crown prince and princess of Jiuyu Kingdom to stamp and sign.

For the long-term development of the three parties, she also prepared a large cart of wine and facial cream for them as a gift to celebrate the successful cooperation and give it to Jiuyu Kingdom and Jiuyue Kingdom.

She was busy until nightfall before returning to Mu Mansion.

When Xu Bo saw her coming back, he hurried over to ask: "Miss, have you eaten?"

"Yes."

Mu Nanjin handed him the cream in his hand: "This is the cream in my shop. You can apply it on your face before going to bed every day."

"Okay." Xu Bo took the cream with a smile and went to the backyard.

Mu Nanjin walked to the hall and saw two tall figures standing inside.

Then, they turned around and smiled at her: "Young Master Gongbo, long time no see." (End of this chapter)
