Chapter 401 Imperial Palace (Part 2)

The Imperial Clan Mansion is the government office that manages the affairs of the royal clan. In addition to managing the clan roster of the nine clans of the emperor, compiling jade books on time, recording the legitimate and illegitimate children of the clan, their names, titles, birth and death dates, marriages, posthumous titles, and burials, it also supervises the trial and punishment of the royal family's crimes, safeguards the royal interests, etc.

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

I don't know if they are worried about Mu Nanjin, or feel that it is unlucky for the royal family. If she accidentally finds out a little thing, it can make the whole royal family turbulent.

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

Liu Qianhu, who was taken to the Imperial Clan Mansion, almost knelt down to her.

You said, go if you want to go, why do you have to take him and his people with you?

They are just ordinary officials who can't be more ordinary. They can't afford to offend the royal family. If they are resented, the other party may think of various ways to deal with them.

Mu Nanjin said, "I've never been there, but I want to go and see it."

In fact, it's just a stroll, which is not a big problem.

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 voice.

Captain Liu turned around: "Let me go back and report it."

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

"If something happens, the governor can help us."

Captain Liu is not afraid of getting into trouble himself, but afraid of implicating his family.

The most important thing for the royal family is to cut the grass and root it out. Once someone angers them, it's not just as simple as taking it out on you, but also harming the innocent old and young.

Mu Nanjin was speechless.

[How big a problem can I go for a stroll? 】

"If something happens, I will protect you and will not let anyone from the Imperial Clan Mansion hurt you."

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

Mu Nanjin: "..."

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

The two youngest brothers of the emperor are in charge of the Imperial Clan Mansion, one is Prince Guang and the other is Prince Yi. As for other managers, there are many royal children and some are ordinary officials. They are relatively idle on weekdays. What can keep them busy are marriages, funerals and temples.

So when they heard that the Duke of Zhenguo came to the Imperial 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 came?"

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

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

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

Was it a whim?

But there is no place worth her coming here.

The guard said: "She said she came here to take a look, and she has already entered the door."

Prince Yi said anxiously: "Entered the door? Why did you let her in?"

"She has the imperial sword, and whoever tries to stop her will be killed."

Prince Yi, Prince Guang: "..."

Prince Guang thought for a while and told the guard: "Pass the order down, everyone should not provoke her or talk to her, and she will leave on her own when she feels bored, so as to avoid more 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 they could not provoke her.

"Yes."

The guards withdrew.

Prince Yi asked Prince Guang: "Should we go to receive her?"

Prince Guang said: "Now we should avoid her if we can. It is best if everyone in the mansion leaves the Royal Palace from the back door, so that she can't make trouble even if she wants to."

Prince Yi frowned: "No matter what, we are the royal family. How can we see an official hiding like a mouse seeing a cat? It will only make people think that our royal family is very cowardly."

"How about you go to receive her?"

"Go, as long as I am polite, she can't make trouble unreasonably?"

Prince Yi picked up 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 main gate and found Mu Nanjin standing inside the gate staring at the big pillar.

[Is this a pillar made of golden nanmu? ]

[How much is such a thick pillar worth? ]

[It should cost 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, a government office dedicated to serving the royal family. It was so magnificent that I wanted to remove the pillars and install them in my country's Duke's Mansion. ]

Captain Liu saw the two princes coming and coughed lightly: "Duke, the two princes are here."

Mu Nanjin retracted her gaze and saw two middle-aged men coming out. They were wearing the official uniforms of the princes.

She bowed and saluted: "Meet the two princes."

Captain Liu and the others also saluted.

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

Mu Nanjin said: "The emperor asked me to visit each government office when I am free. The Imperial Clan Mansion was the first place I thought of, so I came here. If you are not free, you don't have to greet me. I will just take a look and leave."

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

Mu Nanjin followed the two princes into the palace. However, along the way, except for the guards, no one else was seen.

[Why didn't I see other royal family members? Is the Imperial Clan Mansion closed today? ]

[But why are the two princes still in the Imperial Clan Mansion? Or is there no work in the mansion, and everyone has gone home? ]

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

[Yes, they have nothing to do except for the royal affairs of registration, and 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 it doesn't look scary at all. ]

Mu Nanjin asked casually: "What kind of official duties do the two princes usually do in the Royal Family Mansion?"

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

[The royal family is really good, you can get a salary without doing anything. ]

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

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

Mu Nanjin glanced at the abdomen of the two princes.

[Look, their stomachs are fat, comparable to pregnant women in ten months. After some time, they should be able to give birth, hehe. ]

Liu Qianhu and others glanced at the stomachs of the two princes.

The two princes were angry and didn't say anything.

Liu Qianhu coughed lightly: "Duke, if we are done with the tour, let's go back."

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

This is too much.

Liu Qianhu was about to find a way to stop it, but he heard Prince Yi say: "Duke, please come this way."

Please give me a monthly ticket, please give me a monthly ticket
