"Jiuyuan! Do you really not know what that black piece of meat is? With your knowledge, you don't even know?" Mu Feng was really curious and asked.
Jiuyuan rolled his eyes at Mu Feng and said, "Although my vision is much higher than yours, it doesn't mean that I am omnipotent and omniscient! The mortal world is much bigger than you think, not to mention the even bigger Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
There are all kinds of strange species and things, is it possible that I can know them all?"
Mu Feng shrugged helplessly. He subconsciously thought that Jiuyuan was omnipotent. It seemed that he was overthinking.
"I heard that Mu Qingcang has been promoted to Martial Emperor! And there is something weird about this guy. I'm afraid his cultivation speed will never be slow! You have to be careful!" Jiuyuan glanced at Mu Feng and reminded him.
road.
Mu Feng nodded and said, "Don't worry! Now I am also an official of the imperial court, so Mu Qingcang and Mu Shenfu don't dare to mess with me openly!"
"Of course he doesn't dare to mess with you openly. What you have to guard against is his hidden hand!" Jiuyuan rolled his eyes at Mu Feng and said.
Boom, boom, boom!
Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the door.
Mu Feng frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Who?" .??.
"Young man Tao Yuan!" A respectful voice came from outside the door.
Shujishi is the lowest-ranking official position in the Hanlin Academy, and of course it is also the largest in number.
Tao Yuan and Mu Feng didn't know him. He was a little surprised why this person would knock on his door late at night.
"What's the matter?" Mu Feng asked.
"Sir! Princess Yannan wants to see you. She has already come to the Hanlin Academy! Is she waiting for you in the reception hall?" Tao Yuan said respectfully.
Mu Feng frowned slightly. He did not expect that Zhao Lingyan would actually come to the door in person.
Although Mu Feng did not want to see Zhao Lingyan, he also understood that if the princess came to visit him in person, if he did not see her behind closed doors, if this spread out, he would definitely be criticized, and the Sixth Department might even get caught.
Creak!
Opening the door, Mu Feng saw a young concubine standing outside the door, bowing his head and saluting to Mu Feng.
"Lead the way!" Mu Feng said.
"yes!"
Tao Yuan responded and carefully led the way.
After passing through several corridors, the two of them arrived at the reception hall of the Hanlin Academy one after another.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Mu Feng saw that the reception hall was brightly lit, the door was open, and a man and a woman were sitting on the two main seats inside.
The woman is very young, wearing a gorgeous dress and expensive jewelry. Not only is she nice, but it actually adds a different style to her.
The man was about thirty years old. He was wearing a Confucian shirt, holding a folding fan in his hand, and had a warm smile on his face. At first glance, he seemed like a very easy-to-get-together person.
"Your Highness Princess! Master Mu has been brought here, so I will leave first!"
Tao Yuan bowed and quietly retreated.
There were only three of them left in the huge living room.
"Mr. Mu! I have long admired your name. I am Wei Xian, who was once the scholar of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The man in Confucian shirt stood up, clasped his hands in fists, and said politely to Mu Feng.
"Lord Wei Xian, you're so polite!" Mu Feng clasped his fists in return, sat down next to him, and then turned his attention to Zhao Lingyan, saying: "Your Highness! I don't know if I'm here late at night Door, what's going on?"
Zhao Lingyan glanced sideways at Mu Feng and said calmly: "Mu Feng! You can perform so well in the God Forging Tower and win the top spot in one fell swoop. It shows that his mental talent is indeed amazing! I admire you very much, so
I want to recruit you as my guest, Zhao Lingyan!"
Wei Xian smiled and said: "Mr. Mu! Princess Yannan really favors you, and if you can become a guest of Yannan Palace, you can come in and out of the palace at will! You can also make friends with nobles in the palace, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! This
But it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”
Mu Feng took a deep look at Zhao Lingyan. He could clearly see the indifference and joking in the latter's eyes. This was not an attitude of solicitation, but more like looking at the prey that was about to be obtained.
This made Mu Feng secretly wary!
Mu Feng thought for a while, clasped his fists and said, "Princess Yannan is willing to recruit me as a guest of Yannan Palace. This is naturally Mu's luck! However, Master Ning is going to be in seclusion recently! All the affairs of the Hanlin Academy will fall to me.
on my shoulders, so I’m afraid I will live up to Her Royal Highness the Princess’s good intentions!”
Zhao Lingyan snorted coldly and said: "Mu Feng! You are so courageous. You refused my invitation during the day and refused my solicitation at night! Are you shameless?"
Mu Feng lowered his head slightly, with cold eyes, and said calmly: "Your Highness the Princess, you have misunderstood! I do have important matters on my mind, please forgive me!"
Just as Zhao Lingyan was about to have a seizure, Wei Xian coughed, her eyes rolled around, and she could only snort and sit back down again.
Wei Xian stood up and walked forward, smiling gently: "Mr. Mu! The guest minister is very leisurely and will not hinder your management of the Hanlin Academy! And at this time, His Highness the Crown Prince also attaches great importance to him. I think you should give the Crown Prince some help.
Your Highness is a man of face, isn’t he?”
Mu Feng's expression was slightly cold. Wei Xian seemed friendly, but in fact he was smiling, and there was a hint of threat in his words.
"I'm sorry! I just want to concentrate on my cultivation in the Hanlin Academy, and I don't want to get involved in other affairs! I hope you two can make it happen!" Mu Feng said calmly.
The smile on Wei Xian's face stiffened, and his eyes became cold, staring straight at Mu Feng.
Mu Feng was keenly aware of a biting murderous intent, but it just passed away in a flash.
"If that's the case, then we won't force it!" Wei Xian still had a smile on his face. He glanced at Zhao Lingyan and nodded lightly.
"Huh! This princess is a talent lover. Since you don't want to, I won't force you! You can take this thing, it can be regarded as a meeting gift from this princess!"
Zhao Lingyan snorted coldly, took out an exquisite sandalwood box, and handed it to Mu Feng with his fingers.
"Your Highness Princess! No reward for no merit, I can't accept this thing!" Mu Feng did not pick up the sandalwood box. He felt that there should not be anything good in the sandalwood box.
Zhao Lingyan said coldly: "Mu Feng! That's enough for you. I never take back the things I sent out! I asked you to keep them, so keep them for me! Otherwise, you won't give me face!"
"
Wei Xian also advised: "Mr. Mu! This is the princess's kindness. It's unreasonable for you to refuse even this, isn't it?"
Mu Feng's eyes narrowed. He was silent for a moment, then reached out to catch the sandalwood box hanging in front of him.
Click!
The moment his right hand touched the sandalwood box, there was a strange sound inside the box, and then the lid of the sandalwood box was opened directly... "Jiuyuan! You really don't know what that black piece of meat is.
With your knowledge, you don’t even know?" Mu Feng was really curious and asked.
Jiuyuan rolled his eyes at Mu Feng and said, "Although my vision is much higher than yours, it doesn't mean that I am omnipotent and omniscient! The mortal world is much bigger than you think, not to mention the even bigger Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
