The atmosphere of the next banquet was much more harmonious.
All the officials became sincerely respectful towards Mu Nan.
After the banquet.
Sima Rui personally escorted Mu Nan to his residence: Changle Palace.
It is the second largest palace in Healthy City.
Glory, luxury, magnificence.
The three large gilt characters in front of the door are extremely spectacular.
There were even hundreds of white tiger guards patrolling the door, as if no strangers were allowed to enter.
Stepping through the gate, the main building is tall and majestic, with magnificent marble and gold decorations.
The tower is inlaid with exquisite carvings and intricate patterns.
The top of the tower is covered with glazed tiles, and the sunlight shines on it, shining with golden light.
The murals and tapestries are vivid and delicate, with delicate colors.
"Changle Palace is the place where the Dharma Protector of the past generations practiced."
Sima Rui did not accompany Mu Nan into the palace:
"The master has come a long way, and after a long journey, he has a rest. If there is anything he doesn't like, he only needs to tell Su Hongyi, Eunuch Su."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Mu Nan looked at the huge Changle Palace and felt sad: How much money had been spent to build a palace, but only for one person.
Fortunately, I am a protector of the country. Otherwise, I would have to spit at the door to relieve my hatred!
…
Su Hongyi is in his forties, the age when he is capable.
Before Mu Nan arrived, Changle Palace was kept in order.
Here Mu Nan was led to introduce his family background:
"Master, there are three hundred maids, two hundred six servants, and seven hundred two servants in the palace. There are forty-seven people in charge of each."
"Although the mage has an immortal body and cannot eat the fireworks of the human world, the configuration of Changle Palace is almost similar to that of the imperial palace. If the mage needs it, he can just ask the old slave."
Lin Lin always took the trouble, and it was not until Jingyixuan that Su Hongyi stopped:
"This is your place of cultivation. According to the rules, ordinary people like us are not allowed to enter, so as not to disturb the immortal family's dharma frame..."
Mu Nan was a little disdainful of such rhetoric and asked, "Who made these rules?"
Su Hongyi cupped his hands and shook his head:
"I don't know, I just know that this is the traditional rule."
"Thanks for your hard work!"
Since it was the original rule, Mu Nan couldn't say anything, so he said "hard work" and went in.
"Mage, please slow down!"
After Su Hongyi said this, he high-fived several times, and the four young women walked over in small steps:
"Master, the four fairy aunts are each called Chunlan, Xiazhu, Qiuju, and Dongmei. They are all innocent and have some cultivation. In the future, they will come and go in Jingyixuan, and they will ride in front of and behind the saddle."
The so-called fairy girl, in Mu Nan's view, had only developed some spiritual power, which was comparable to the level of the early stage of Qi refining, but not as good as the Fengyue Tower woman.
But no matter what, the four girls are equivalent to having some cultivation.
He is no longer an "ordinary person" as Su Hongyi said.
Entering and exiting Jingyi Xuan is free.
Da Fengchao seemed to be very attentive to the details.
Before Mu Nan could sigh, Su Hongyi continued: "His Highness carefully selected the four immortal aunts and put a lot of thought into them."
Mu Nan immediately understood the meaning.
Sima Rui went to great lengths to gain the favor of the Protector of the Country.
"Thank you, Your Highness, for me!"
After that, he turned around and entered Jingyixuan.
The layout of the courtyard is comparable to that of a leisurely residence, and is even three-thirds more luxurious.
If it were not for the crystals and jewelry collected in the Snake Demon Cave and all arranged in Xianyiju, it would be three points higher than that, but it would be suspected of belittling Jing Yixuan.
The trivial matters during the day seem busy.
Mu Nan didn't like this kind of social interaction, so he endured it and finally ended it.
I just want to meditate and practice as soon as possible and be calm.
Sweep away the mundane world.
With the experience of Xiao Xie's house, he seems to feel at ease with the four women.
Until the lights and candle shadows.
"Master, it's getting late today. I don't know who will sleep with me? Or... let's go together!"
Chunlan blushed as she spoke.
Mu Nan was also stunned.
He thought these four women were just serving tea, pouring water, washing up and giving orders, but it turned out that there was also a show!
At a glance, spring orchids, summer bamboos, autumn chrysanthemums, and winter plums are each shy, bright red, and delicate.
In my previous life, at this age, I was still squatting on the ground and counting ants.
In this life, women are obviously much more mature.
"You're tired today, let's go and practice separately!"
Mu Nan suppressed his emotions and declined politely.
The four girls were obedient and exited the palace one by one. They were each practicing or resting in the side rooms next to them, rustling and making very little noise.
Even, a little boring.
Presumably, they received "good" training in advance.
…
The job of Protector Mu Nan is extremely easy.
At the middle and end of each month, everyone goes to the court to sit in charge for a day.
Actually, it's quite boring.
He neither interferes in politics nor speaks out.
All I could do was listen to the various ministers present their reports or criticize each other.
For example, when Li Shilang behaved improperly and entered a romantic place, Li Shilang said in turn that Zhang Shizhong had received a hundred taels of gold and had taken bribes.
If there is an enemy invasion on the border, we need to send orders to move out, but the civil servants will not allow it.
Where is the plague again, where is the position missing, and who needs to be replaced.
Mu Nan deeply understood the true meaning of Lao Tzu's saying, "Governing a big country is like cooking small delicacies."
During this process, he took a high look at Sima Rui.
Every decision is made just right.
If you successfully board the Dabao, it will be a great blessing to all people.
However, in more than a month, Mu Nan had not seen the so-called official leader of the Great Feng Dynasty, Sima Yao.
Even if you are busy sowing seeds, you should not be so busy.
If Mu Nan is the kind of person who makes trouble, when the protector of the country arrives, the king avoids him.
This one article alone is enough for the Xingtian Supervisor and Xingshi to investigate.
More than a month.
Except for Sima Rui, almost no one else came to visit Changle Palace.
The tranquility of Mu Nanle.
They have fun with the four women in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and they are like brothers and sisters.
For a while, Jingyixuan was filled with birds chirping and flowers fragrant.
Su Hongyi saw it and was anxious in his heart.
Are the four of them not to the mage's taste?
Or does the mage have other hobbies?
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made it clear that the first priority for the four girls is to sleep with them, not to play mahjong!
Mentioning mahjong makes him angry.
Jingyixuan exudes the so-called national quintessence, full of fun, and is extremely popular in Changle Palace.
There is a faint trend of exodus.
but……
No one plays with him!
There were thousands of maids, maids, and servants in Changle Palace, but no one taught him.
He could also guess the reason.
This mage, unlike the previous protector of the country, doesn't care about anything.
He never leaves the door but leaves everything to him.
He has become the second in command of Changle Palace!
Even the Habayashi Guards became extremely polite.
But this is not the life he wants.
He even wanted to be in a crowd of servants, like practicing Tai Chi, shouting "What a fool!"
No, the warblers and swallows in Jingyi Xuan were shouting "Three Buckets, Yao Chicken", which made him feel itchy in his heart.
"Chunlan!"
Su Hongyi knocked lightly on the courtyard door, bowed and stood outside the door, and called softly.
"Wait! Don't peek at my cards!"
Chunlan held up the mahjong, trotted to tidy up her appearance, and came to the courtyard gate: "What are your orders, Eunuch Su?"
Su Hongyi took out a roll of yellow silk from his sleeve:
"Please pass the dharma table to the mage. There are some strange things in the palace that require the mage's dharma body to come to you!"
"Eunuch Su is here?"
Mu Nan lacked any inspiration during his practice. He was about to go out for some fresh air when he saw Su Hongyi standing at the courtyard gate in the distance: "Come in and talk!"
"Master, we are ordinary people with disabilities..."
Su Hongyi is very disciplined and can even be called a model of discipline.
"Come in, you can come in and out of Jingyi Xuan at will from now on."
Although he knew that Su Hongyi was from Sima Rui, after a month of getting along with him, Mu Nan had a very good impression of him: he was obedient, taciturn, and had good management skills.
"Old slave, you obey!"
Su Hongyi was extremely moved.
Since he entered the palace, he has been to every Kaka corner, except Jingyixuan.
The mage from the last time even said to him personally: "The one born after tomorrow is incomplete, so don't pollute the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."
Although he did not dare to disobey and knew that unintentionally breaking into Jingyixuan would ruin the Master's good deeds, it was too hurtful to say such words.
Unlike the boy in front of me, he is young and considerate.
And he treated him as a human being.
Mu Nan waved over a chair, sat in front of the mahjong table with four women, and asked casually:
"Who is on the legal list?"
"Return to the mage!" Su Hongyi handed over the yellow silk and said:
"The Queen has been ill for a long time and often has nightmares at night. The Imperial Hospital in the palace is helpless. Your Highness suspected that there was something unclean and dared to ask the mage to move to Shouning Palace."
