Queen Mother, she just wants to lie down

"We can only rely on them to adapt to the situation." Ruan Qing was silent for a moment before adding.

The matter of the fairy ointment and fairy powder has not yet been found out, and they must not expose their identities at this time.

"By the way, if I remember correctly, the head of the Mu family is not allowed to enter the capital without an imperial edict, right?

Why did the eldest son of Prince Mu's palace quietly run to Fu'an at this time and prepare to appear openly and openly in front of the Feng family? "Ruan Qing then changed the topic and asked Lin Haoming.

She didn't know much about the Mu family of Prince Pingnan.

In the memory of the original owner, the contemporary King Pingnan only entered the capital once.

That was ten years ago, when King Xinpingnan, who had just succeeded to the throne, came to Beijing to see him under the imperial edict.

At that time, the original owner was just a small Chang Zai, so naturally he had no chance to meet King Nanping.

After that, no matter when the Empress Dowager passed away, when the previous emperor passed away, or when the new emperor ascended the throne, the imperial court never conveyed any decree to him.

Without a purpose, King Pingnan would naturally not enter the capital.

In other words, not only has Ruan Qing never met King Pingnan, but neither has the original owner.

Ruan Qing only knew that King Pingnan was the only king with a different surname in Daxi. He had guarded South Vietnam for generations and was not allowed to enter the capital without an edict.

The six cities in the southern border and the military and administrative affairs of thirty counties are all under his jurisdiction.

Except for sending people to deliver tribute once a year, there is almost no interaction with the court in other aspects.

"It is true that the principals of the Mu family are not allowed to enter the capital without decree, but no one has said that they are not allowed to enter the Central Plains at will.

As long as they don't bring soldiers and horses, the imperial court will not interfere if the Mu family wants to visit the Central Plains.

Otherwise, they are not allowed to enter the Daxi territory outside South Vietnam. Wouldn't it become a prison? Lin Haoming laughed.

Ruan Qing didn't answer, but instinctively felt a little strange.

King Pingnan is not only a king with a different surname, but also has far greater power than the prince of the clan.

Objectively speaking, he is not like the prince of Daxi at all. The South Vietnam he guards is more like a vassal state of Daxi.

What's interesting is that such a powerful king with a different surname has always been at peace with the court for a hundred years.

It seems that the emperors of Daxi have never suspected them, and they have no intention of taking back power.

And the Mu family has never behaved in the least bit beyond the rules, which is simply incompatible with human nature.

"Actually, we don't have to worry too much. With the in-law relationship between the Mu family and the Yang family, even for Yang San's sake, he won't reveal his identity to his face.

Mu Shizi has a saying that is right. Using his status to congratulate Old Master Feng on his birthday is the best gift. Lin Haoming said again.

"Do you know something we don't know?" Ruan Qing asked in a low voice.

"The reason why King Pingnan can become the only king with a different surname in Daxi, and at the same time has such a special status in Daxi, is because the Mu family has a deep relationship with the former King of Jiaodong.

To be precise, the throne of their family was obtained by King Jiaodong from the Holy Ancestor.

The Feng family has developed so rapidly in recent years, and has often been influenced by the influence of King Jiaodong.

If you want to ask who the Feng family fears the most, it must be the Pingnan Palace. " Lin Haoming replied.

??

King Pingnan is actually related to King Jiaodong? Ruan Qing's eyes widened.

Jiang Yuan obviously knew nothing about this. She stared at Lin Haoming with her eyes like searchlights, obviously hoping that he would explain in more detail.

"Don't look at me like that. Even if you look at me, I won't say anything. This matter involves the secrets of the great ancestor of the dynasty. Talking too much about it will be bad for everyone. You just need to know that the people in the Nanping Palace do not like the Feng family.

Let's go, even the prince of King Pingnan is here, let's go down and join in the fun. "

Lin Haoming didn't say anything more. He picked up the unfinished tea on the table, drank it all in one gulp, and then stood up.

Ruan Qing and Jiang Yuan saw that he refused to talk anymore, so they couldn't force him, and the three of them quickly left the inn.

The old man of the Feng family has a good reputation. On a day like his sixtieth birthday, in addition to some well-known people who have received invitations from the Feng family, there will also be many ordinary guests who come here because of his fame.

These people may be businessmen passing by, or they may be ordinary people who have received favors from the Feng family.

They didn't have the chance to get together in front of Mr. Feng, but they could still join in the fun and have a cup of birthday wine outside.

Ruan Qing, Lin Haoming and Jiang Yuan sneaked in with this identity.

When the three of them sneaked in, Prince Pingnan was greeting Mr. Feng.

"Mu Jinfeng of the Mu family of South Vietnam wishes the old man good luck, longevity and good health." A young man in a blue robe with a calm and handsome temperament clasped his fists and congratulated the old man Feng.

"Young Master Mu is so polite. I am an old man with no official position and no job. He is spending a short life, but he has worked hard for Prince Mu.

The old man is both deeply moved and frightened. "Mr. Feng responded with a flattered look on his face.

Yang San and Zhao Ping, who were standing aside, had particularly wonderful expressions.

Who would have thought that he was just pretending to be the third son of the Mu family who was far away in South Vietnam, but as soon as he showed up, the fake Li Gui met the real Li Kui.

As for Qing Qi, who plays the third son of the Mu family, she has a dull expression on her face. No one knows what she is thinking.

"The old master has a good reputation far and wide. Since I bumped into him, I should come to say congratulations." Mu Shizi said with a smile.

"Thank you very much. Your Majesty, please take a seat." Old Master Feng had a look of fear on his face.

For Mr. Feng, the arrival of the Mu brothers brought him more fear than surprise.

When Prince Mu was about to walk to the main table with Mr. Feng, Jiang Chi suddenly spoke to Qingqi: "Third Master Mu, won't you go there with your brother?"

Jiang Chi had met the eldest son of the Mu family. When Prince Pingnan paid tribute three years ago, he was the one responsible for delivering it.

He recognized Mu Jinfeng as soon as he showed up.

But the performance of Mr. Mu San who came in with Yang San is worth pondering.

The Yang family and the Mu family were related by marriage, and Mu San was the younger brother of Prince Mu.

As a result, the three of them tried to reduce their presence as much as possible after Prince Mu came in.

After Prince Mu came in, he didn't take another glance at Queqing.

Jiang Chi, who was watching this scene silently, had an inexplicable thought in his mind: Could it be that Mr. Mu San who came in with Yang San was a fake?

Old Master Feng and the Feng brothers were reminded by Jiang Chi and immediately turned their attention to Que Qi: "Mr. Mu, let's come together."

When Ruan Qing and others who had just sneaked in saw this scene, their hearts suddenly lifted.

Queqi took a breath and looked at the Mu family's heir apparent and Mr. Feng:

"Mr. Feng, I never like to be restrained. If I force myself to sit at the same table with all the respected people, it would be bad if I lose track of the rules and affect everyone's interest, so..."

Mu Jinfeng stared at Qingqi without saying a word. Just when Qingqi thought he was going to reveal his identity on the spot, he suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her arm:

"You are so old, how can you still be as willful as you were when you were a child? It is a rare trip for you and me to the Central Plains, and it happens to be the birthday of Mr. Feng. Naturally, we should have a birthday wine with him."

As the words fell, Que Qi was already dragged to his side.

Yang San and Zhaoping looked at this strange scene, and their jaws almost dropped.

Ruan Qing and Jiang Yuan also looked at each other.
