Qing'er hugged the purse tightly and said, "Miss, didn't you tell me not to waste money on unworthy people?"

Mu Jin nodded, but still thought about it.

"But I want to see Shen Qianqian's face turn pale when she sees me sending those beautiful women to Su Yuntian. After all, it was she who caused me to be slapped by Su Yuntian."

Qing'er said, "That's easy. Go back to Qiushui Garden and choose a beautiful maid. If she becomes a concubine, she will be enough to piss off Shen Qianqian. Why spend a lot of money to buy these dancers? When the young lady gets divorced and remarries, she should save some money for her dowry."

Mu Jin nodded. She also thought that Qing'er was right and that she was just in a spur of the moment mood. Looking at the beautiful dancers not far away, she felt sorry for Su Yuntian.

At this moment, a young man who was commenting on the dancers in the private room next to him suddenly heard the person next to him mention Su Yuntian's name, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look over.

Although the private rooms in Zuiyuelou are separated by screens, if one leans slightly to the side, one can still see the person next door through the hollow space of the screen.

The surname Su is the national surname and can only be used by members of the royal family. Among the royal family, the only person named Su Yuntian is Su Muxue’s third brother, who also wore men’s clothes, sneaked out of the palace, and was now watching a show in Zuiyue Tower.

When Su Muxue saw Mu Jin, she stood up in disbelief and walked straight to Mu Jin's private room. When she was about to reach out and grab Mu Jin, she was quickly stopped by Eleven.

Su Muxue watched as she was stopped by someone. She anxiously pushed Eleven with her hand and shouted to Mu Jin, "Third sister-in-law, it's me, Muxue!"

Mu Jin looked at Su Muxue with a question mark on his face.

Qing'er finally recognized Su Muxue at this time, and quickly pulled Eleven away: "Princess, please forgive me. I didn't recognize you just now. I'm sorry."

After saying that, he quickly whispered into Mu Jin's ear and told him Su Muxue's identity.

Su Muxue noticed inadvertently: "Stand up, it's not convenient to be polite when you are out."

Then he sat down next to Mu Jin.

"I didn't expect that Third Sister-in-law would come to a place like this. Aren't you afraid that Third Brother will find out?"

Mu Jin smiled slightly: "Being happy is the most important thing, why bother about him so much?"

Su Muxue was surprised and said, "Don't frame me, Third Sister-in-law. You used to be like a rabbit in front of Third Brother."

Mu Jin narrowed her eyes and said, "Aren't you talking about the past as well?"

Su Muxue was half-believing and half-doubting, but suddenly she thought of something and moved closer to Mu Jin and said, "You're not really going to divorce your third brother, are you?"

Mu Jin looked at her suspiciously and asked, "What do you mean?"

Su Muxue's eyes widened: "Your expression, it seems to be true? No wonder I heard Defei mentioned to my father about your divorce with Su Yuntian in my father's study that day."

"Then what does the emperor say?"

Su Muxue took the pine nuts that Mu Jin had peeled and ate them: "Nothing was said, and my father did not express his opinion. This matter is of great importance, and it cannot be so simple with just one or two words from Concubine De."

Mu Jin nodded and said.

Su Muxue looked Mu Jin up and down.

"Third sister-in-law, why didn't I realize that you look as handsome as me in men's clothes? Since you also like to come out to watch plays, how about we arrange to watch a play together in the future?"

Mu Jin looked at the beautiful dancers on the stage and did not answer Su Muxue directly.

"Does the Emperor know that you are dressed like this and going out of the palace to watch a play in a place like this?"

Su Muxue smiled reluctantly: "Haha, you don't need to worry about these. This princess has her own way. Anyway, today I found that we have similar ambitions and are equally beautiful. In the future, we should visit each other often."

Mu Jin thought to himself that Su Muxue in front of him looked a few years older than himself, but still innocent, and her age was far beyond the marriageable age of this era. If the emperor did not love her so much, he would not have allowed her to be kept in the palace at this age without getting married.

When Mu Jin was about to answer Su Muxue, he saw Su Muxue staring at the downstairs. Suddenly, she pulled down the palace servant who came with her in fear as if she had seen a ghost, and quickly lifted the tablecloth beside Mu Jin and crawled in.

Just when Mu Jin and the other two were confused, they heard Su Muxue speak quickly and in a low voice.

"Fifth brother is here, Third sister-in-law, please don't say I'm hiding under the table."

Not long after, Su Yi went upstairs and opened the door of the private room on the right side of Mu Jin. Seeing the steaming tea inside, he couldn't help but snorted coldly. When he was about to leave, he found that Mu Jin was sitting in the private room. He was stunned.

At this time, Mu Jin was looking at Ji Zi who was singing a little tune downstairs, and tapping his fingers on the table to the rhythm of the song, looking like he was enjoying it very much.

Su Yi showed his evil and dandy smile again and walked into Mu Jin's private room.

Qing'er pulled the eleventh and saluted Su Yi: "Hello, King Yi!"

Su Yi raised his hand with the fan and said, "No need to be polite."

As he approached Mu Jin from behind, he glanced at the corner of Mu Jin's clothes sticking out from under the tea table, and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

"What a coincidence, I actually met my sister-in-law here. If it wasn't the first time I saw you dressed like this, I wouldn't have recognized you."

Hearing Su Yi's words, Mu Jin couldn't help but think that this was indeed not the first time Su Yi saw her wearing men's clothes. When she saved him for the first time, she was wearing men's clothes.

Thinking of the unpleasant experience when they first met, Mu Jin couldn't help but frown again.

Seeing Mu Jin frowning slightly, Su Yi thought to himself that he should not have mentioned their first meeting. Not wanting to upset Mu Jin, he immediately changed the subject.

"Sister-in-law, do you like to come to places like this on weekdays?"

Mu Jin raised his eyes to glance at Su Yi and then turned to the dancer downstairs and said, "It's my first time here."

Su Yi sat on the chair next to Mu Jin in a familiar manner. When he sat down, Su Yi stepped on the corner of his clothes that was exposed under the tea table.

Mu Jin noticed Su Yi's little tricks and couldn't help but shook his head in amusement at the cat-and-mouse-like behavior of the brother and sister.

Su Yi added some tea into Mu Jin's teacup and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Sister-in-law, why are you so interested in coming to Zuiyue Tower to listen to opera today?"

Mu Jin said: "Just for fun."

Su Yi nodded: "Why didn't Third Brother come with you?"

Mu Jin thought Su Yi was being noisy and did not answer him, but continued to watch the performances of the artists downstairs.

Seeing that Mu Jin didn't answer, Su Yi continued: "If you like these, sister-in-law, I know a few more. The dancers there are better than those here. If you are interested, I will invite you to go some other day."

Mu Jin raised his eyebrows but did not comment.

"Sister-in-law, have you heard that the Xiliang Kingdom's envoys will be visiting our country soon? What do you think they are going to do this time?"

Mu Jin shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Seeing that Mu Jin finally responded to him, Su Yi said happily.

"Great news. The Xiliang Kingdom is sending envoys to the Dongyue Kingdom this time to ask for the hand in marriage of our sixth princess, Su Muxue."

Just as Su Muxue was about to speak and stand up, the maid beside her pulled her back and covered her mouth with her hands, shaking her head desperately to signal Su Muxue not to make a sound.

Mu Jin turned to look at Su Yi and said with a smile: "Oh? That's really a good thing."

When Mu Xue heard Mu Jin applauding this, she couldn't help but pinch Mu Jin's calf hard, and Mu Jin pulled his calf back a little.

Mu Jin asked: "The Fifth Princess is of marriageable age, why hasn't she married yet?"
