After my voice was eavesdropped, I became the favorite of the imperial court

When the emperor came to the Seventh Prince's Mansion, he saw broken porcelain pieces all over the hall.

Since they were fragments of valuable items, the servants did not dare to clean them up without the consent of the Seventh Prince.

The emperor asked: "What happened to the debris in the hall?"

The manager of the Seventh Prince's Mansion said sadly: "It was the wild horse that kicked it to pieces. It also robbed all the gold, silver and jewelry from the Seventh Prince's warehouse."

Eunuch Yuan kindly reminded: "That is not a wild horse, it is a first-class horse king personally proclaimed by the emperor."

"First-grade horse, horse king?" The steward was stunned: "The horse that the master brought back is the legendary first-grade horse king?"

The news that the emperor conferred the title of first-class horse spread throughout the capital, but they only heard about it but never saw the horse.

"Yes." Eunuch Yuan nodded slightly: "The emperor once decreed that no one can hurt it. The seventh prince...sigh..."

"This... this..." The manager panicked and hurriedly explained: "The master doesn't know it is the King of Horses at all, and there is no mark on it that it is the King of Horses."

The emperor said: "Take me to see Lao Qi."

"yes."

The steward quickly took the emperor to the seventh prince's courtyard.

The courtyard was full of guards. When they saw the emperor arriving, they immediately knelt down and said, "See you, Your Majesty."

The emperor quickly walked into the seventh prince's bedroom.

The imperial physician who was treating the seventh prince quickly stood up when he saw the emperor's arrival.

The emperor raised his hand to indicate that he did not need to be polite: "How is the situation of the seventh child?"

The imperial doctor said: "I injured my internal organs. Fortunately, the injury is not serious. I only need to drink medicine and nurse myself back to health in a month."

emperor:"……"

He once witnessed Heitan crushing the ninth-grade Martial King to death with his own eyes.

Now that the Seventh Prince is not suffering very seriously, it means that Hei Tan has shown mercy.

"Report."

The voice of the guards of the Prince's Mansion came from outside.

Eunuch Yuan walked out of the room and asked, "What's the matter?"

The guard replied: "We have tracked the whereabouts of the horse. It ran into a place called 'Mufu', which is the residence of the ninth-grade Jinyiwei. In order to prevent it from escaping, we sent people to surround the entire Mufu. Now it is back. Please tell me how to handle this matter next.”

They had investigated and found that Mu Mansion was Mu Nanjin's residence.

She had rescued the emperor, and she was personally conferred the title of ninth-grade Jin Yiwei by the emperor. Black Horse was also personally designated by the emperor as the first-grade horse king, so she would inform her.

If it had been anyone else, they would have rushed in to catch someone.

Eunuch Yuan looked at the emperor.

The emperor rubbed his aching head.

It was Lao Qi who brought the first-grade horse king back and slaughtered him first. It must be Lao Qi's fault.

But he couldn't always turn to Mu Nanjin, as this would arouse Mu Nanjin's suspicion.

"Ask Kan Chaoyan to handle this matter, and ask him to punish both the seventh prince and Mu Nanjin."

If you don't do this, Mu Nanjin will become unscrupulous.

"yes."

When Eunuch Yuan went to find Kan Chaoyan, Mu Nanjin was watching Heitan spit out boxes after boxes of gold and silver jewelry from his stomach.

"Did you get this from the Seventh Prince's Mansion?"

"Yes." Heitan snorted: "Let's see if he dares to eat horse meat in the future."

Mu Nanjin was confused: "How do you know he likes to eat horse meat?"

"I saw many ghosts of horses surrounding him before I followed him back to the Seventh Prince's Mansion. In order to avenge my compatriots, I pretended to be an ordinary horse and went back to the manor with him, collecting all his golden objects. He ate it, smashed the objects I didn’t like, and in the end he was kicked and injured by me.”

Hei Tan was quite relieved when he said this: "If I weren't worried about causing trouble to you, I would really want to kick him to death."

The Seventh Prince brought this upon himself. Mu Nanjin didn't care about his life or death. The only thing that concerned her was Heitan's belly.

She stared at his belly again and again: "Can your belly hold so many things?"

Heitan raised his chin: "It's not a problem to fit a big mountain."

"What a big mountain..." Mu Nanjin said thoughtfully, "Then some things can be solved."

Heitan was confused: "What do you want to solve?"

At this time, Uncle Xu hurried in and said, "Girl, it's not good."

Mu Nanjin still stared at Heitan's belly: "What's the matter?"

"Our house is surrounded by guards and we can't get out."

"Oh." Mu Nanjin was not in a hurry: "Then let them surround you, and you can do whatever you need to do."

Seeing how calm Mu Nanjin was, Uncle Xu slowly calmed down and went to the kitchen to help the cook cook.

"I do the things, I deal with them."

Heitan walked out, but was stopped by Mu Nanjin: "Swallow these things back into your stomach, you don't need to worry about other things."

He turned back and swallowed the gold, silver and jewels back into his belly.

Mu Nanjin was rocking the rocking chair and eating melon seeds, feeling very leisurely.

Heitan asked: "You don't care about the guards outside?"

"They would have rushed in if they wanted to come in." Mu Nanjin ate another melon seed: "Just wait, someone will come to us."

Seeing that she was not in a hurry, Heitan sat down and imitated her in eating melon seeds, but he couldn't learn how to do it.

About half an hour later, Zhenzhu walked in and said, "Girl, there is an adult who wants to see you."

Mu Nanjin, who was about to fall asleep, opened his eyes and said lazily: "Invite him in."

"yes."

Soon after, Zhenzhu came in with Kan Chaoyan.

Kan Chaoyan smiled at Mu Nanjin and asked, "Mu girl, today is not your day of rest. Why didn't you come to the captain's house for duty? Be careful, I will deduct your monthly salary."

Mu Nanjin sat up and said, "I was on duty at the palace this morning, and I went home directly after leaving the court. I am not considered lazy."

Kan Chaoyan couldn't help laughing: "Since you have gone on duty, your monthly salary will not be deducted. But there is one thing that cannot be ignored, and that is the fact that your horse kicked and injured the seventh prince. After all, the seventh prince is the emperor. My son, your horse not only injured him, but also damaged his belongings and took away his gold, silver and jewelry. Do you think Black Charcoal is a bit too much?"

"The Seventh Prince's injury was something he brought upon himself. If he had not taken away my horse, what happened today would not have happened."

Kan Chaoyan felt a little helpless: "It is true that the injury was caused by him, but the seventh prince's belongings are innocent. You don't think it is right for Heitan to damage and take other people's things, right?"

Mu Nanjin was silent.

Kan Chaoyan keeps up his efforts.

"The seventh prince has already paid the price for this. After he recovers from his injury, he still has to clean the streets of the capital. This will take a year. For the noble seventh prince, this will undoubtedly bring disgrace to the royal family and will also make him look bad among the royal brothers. Don't start it. The seventh prince has been punished as he deserves, so should your black charcoal be well educated? If we don't hold it accountable, then it's very likely that it will be indulged once and it will happen again, and it will eventually become lawless. That’s not the result you want, right?”

Mu Nanjin couldn't help but nodded: "Then how do you want to educate Hei Tan?"

Kan Chaoyan groaned: "If it were any other horse, it would definitely be whipped, but your horse is a first-grade horse king. It is impossible for us to beat it. Moreover, the horse is a beast, and it is useless to talk too much about it." Yes, we have no precedent of punishing horses, but there are examples of punishing horse owners for poor care."

"You mean you want to punish me?"

Kan Chaoyan nodded.

Mu Nanjin immediately stated: "You don't want me to pay the money to the seventh prince, do you? I don't have the money to pay the money to the seventh prince."

[It doesn’t cost money, it doesn’t cost my life. 】

"Puch..."

Kan Chaoyan smiled: "I'm not asking you for money."

What a miser.

Mu Nanjin is not really greedy for money, she just thinks that having money around her makes things easier.

"Then what do you want me to do?"

Kan Chaoyan frowned and said nothing.

Mu Nanjin saw the embarrassed look on his face and thought to herself, "You know that I can't embroider, so you deliberately used embroidery to embarrass me, right?" 】

[Or do you want me to copy Buddhist scriptures to pray for the Seventh Prince? That's too boring, and my calligraphy doesn't look good. 】

[Or do you want me to cook some dishes to apologize to the Seventh Prince? If this is the case, I can only say that the seventh prince will die faster if he eats my food. 】

Kan Chaoyan felt dumbfounded.

Is this little girl not proficient in everything that girls should know?

Mu Nanjin got impatient after guessing: "Just tell me how you want to punish me."

Kan Chaoyan tentatively said: "We want to punish you for taking your horse to suppress the bandits."

"Okay." Mu Nanjin was afraid that the other party would regret it, so she agreed without thinking.

[Huh, it turned out to be bandit suppression. I thought it was a big deal, but it really scared the baby to death. 】

Kan Chaoyan: "..."

I thought she would refuse.

Mu Nanjin asked again: "When will we set off?"

"We still need to discuss a strategy before deciding when to start."

【Are you kidding me? Do you still need to discuss strategies when things can be solved with just one sword? 】

Kan Chaoyan: "..."

They had been attacking the bandits for several years but could not defeat them, but she said that they could be defeated with one sword. Is this true?

By the way, he hasn't told her which bandit it is.

Kan Chaoyan added: "You may not know that what we are going to attack is the bandits in the area from the capital to Jiangnan. There are many mountains there and there are many bandits. There are also many master-level warriors guarding the mountain gates. We don't know the terrain there. We are familiar with the fact that many bandit campaigns have ended in failure, so we have to think of a perfect strategy to prevent so many people from dying."

[That’s still a matter of one sword. 】

Kan Chaoyan: "..."

Bai explained.

[Could it be that the imperial court wants to recruit mountain bandits into the army? 】

[Well, you can’t kill them directly, it’s a bit tricky, and not every bandit is a very vicious person, and his crime will not lead to death. 】

Mu Nanjin nodded: "I want to come up with a plan."

Kan Chaoyan: "..."

There seems to be some difference between his and her ideas.

Kan Chaoyan stood up and said, "I won't stay here if I have something else to do. I will take the guards outside with me when I leave."

After he left, Heitan quickly ran out of the room: "How can you accept the punishment? Your acceptance of the punishment shows that what I did was wrong."

Mu Nanjin said: "You are right, but the method is wrong."

Heitan was slightly startled: "What do you mean?"

Mu Nanjin asked: "What you did today was to stop the seventh prince from eating horse meat, right?"

Black Tan nodded.

"But your approach will not scare the Seventh Prince. Instead, it will anger him. You may even vent your anger on other horses and kill them. So your method is wrong."

Hei Tan's anger dissipated instantly, he sat down and asked, "Then what should I do?"

"As a demon, you should know very well how to make people feel scared."

Heitan thought for a while, then laughed evilly: "Hey, I know what to do."

…

On the way back to the Duwei Mansion, Kan Chaoyan heard everyone discussing the matter of girls entering the school to study and take scientific examinations.

Most people have very pedantic ideas and believe that their daughters will get married in the future, so they should not waste a lot of money on their daughters and end up making wedding clothes for their future husband's family.

These are the thoughts of poor families. After all, they don’t have much savings and don’t want to waste it on their daughters. Even if they go to school for free, they just want to keep their daughters at home to do farm work and make money.

Rich people are very open-minded. They have plenty of money, so it doesn't matter if their daughter goes to school. If their daughter wins the lottery, their family will have a big backer, and one more person will support them if something goes wrong.

No matter what they thought, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice was the first person to actively enroll his daughters in school. Even if his first three daughters were already married, he enrolled them all.

Other officials also enrolled their daughters in school. They did not want to wait for the daughter of the Minister of Punishment to win the imperial examination. They were only envious and jealous.

All the ladies from official families signed up for school, and the ladies from rich families were sent to the Chinese Academy of Sciences one after another. Not to mention whether they would be able to become officials in the future, at least they could get to know the ladies from official families, and they could ask for help from them if anything happened in the future. .

The emperor was very happy to learn that both official and wealthy ladies had signed up to join the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The only regret he feels is that there are no ordinary people's children in the Chinese Academy. It will take a long time to change their minds, so they can't rush. But once a woman wins the national examination next year, ordinary people will slowly change.

…

After Kan Chaoyan returned to the Duwei Mansion, he discussed with everyone for two days before deciding to set off in three days.

It was the first time that Mu Nanjin left the capital. He was very excited when he learned that he could leave the capital in three days. He prepared his luggage for leaving the capital early in the morning.

On the day of leaving Beijing, Mu Nanjin saw that only the governor came to see him off, and he frowned: "The governor, where is the governor?"

The governor's colleague replied: "The governor has to deal with official business and cannot see him off."

Mu Nanjin said: "I want to leave a message to the governor."

The governor was very interested in what she said, and without saying a word, he ordered the hundreds of households around him: "Hurry and prepare paper and ink."

Kan Chaoyan and others: "..."

After a while, Baihu brought paper and ink.

Mu Nanjin picked up the pen and thought for a while before putting pen to paper.

Kan Chaoyan and the others stretched their necks to take a peek, but the Governor Tongzhi deliberately blocked their sight, making their hearts itch like a cat's claws.

After Mu Nanjin finished writing, the Governor Tongzhi quickly took away the note.

After watching Mu Nanjin and the others leave, he immediately rode back to the Duwei Mansion.

"Captain, Mu Yatou left you a message."

The governor said without thinking: "Don't look at it."

I always feel like nothing good is happening.

"If you don't want to read it, don't read it. I'll read it to you."

The governor opened the note and read loudly: "I promised to clean your library for a month and wash your underwear for a month. Now I can only break my promise. But I will repay you double when I come back."

After reading it, he couldn't help laughing loudly: "This little girl is really interesting."

The governor's eyes twitched.

The governor put the note on his desk: "Read the content yourself and prove that what I just said was not made up by me."

The governor didn't want to read the words on the note at all, he turned his head and looked out the window.

It's okay if I don't turn around, but I feel even more tired when I turn around.

Because outside the window, his obscene underwear was hanging on the roof of the room opposite. (End of chapter)
