"Hey, I'm still keeping it secret in front of the prince's brother? Everyone knows that the father intends to marry a princess and Qin Mu, who has just made great contributions, has Qin Mu, the new military and political governor of Northwest and the governor of North Loulan. Isn't this a happy event?" Zhao Yan smiled.

"I heard from outsiders, but I have already asked my mother. It's nothing that happened after my mother said. It was all fabricated by those outsiders. Brother Prince, don't listen to those people talking nonsense." The girl replied calmly, "Besides, even if this is true, it should be the eldest sister. I haven't even performed the coming-of-age ceremony."

"File it? Nonsense? Humph, no wind can make waves. Qin Mu made new achievements and served as the military and political chief of both places. He held great power and had more than 100,000 elite troops under his command. Can the father feel at ease? He can kill two birds with one stone. He not only solved his worries and got a good general. Isn't this the best solution?" the young man shrugged.

"It was originally the elder sister, but everyone in the court knew that the elder sister was extremely disgusted with Qin Mu. Besides, everyone knew that the elder sister had obtained the permission of her father to marry her. She didn't want to, and no one could do anything about it. She wouldn't let the eighteenth sister marry Qin Mu, right?" When she said the young man's tone was full of disdain.

"There is nothing wrong with the Eighteenth Sister. She is only one month younger than me." Hearing the meaning of the young man, the girl continued to argue, "As long as it is the father's blood, she is a princess, and it has nothing to do with her mother's identity."

"Hmph, **'s daughter is **. Who knows if she is the seed of the father?" the young man said meanly, but his voice became much lower.

"Brother Prince!" The girl's face suddenly became dark, as if she was covered with frost.

"I'm wrong, just pretend I'm talking too much and not talking about this, okay?"

Seeing that the girl was really annoyed, the young man quickly admitted his mistake and apologized. "But, even if we don't think so, Qin Mu and his subordinates may not think so. The father should also consider this. Seventeenth sister, do you think so?"

When the young man spoke softly, he apologized. The girl stopped talking. After all, she was her brother, but the words behind the young man were justified.

"Brother Prince, are you here today to inform the younger sister of this news?" The girl raised her head and asked the young man seriously, but the light of wisdom flashed in her eyes.

"Hehe, the prince's brother will go to the Three Treasures Palace without any trouble. In fact, there is nothing wrong. The prince's brother wants to hear what if His Majesty intends to let you marry Qin Mu, what do you think?" The young man rubbed his hands awkwardly and asked himself with a smile.

Seeing his brother asking about his marriage, even though the girl was generous, a red glow flashed across her face, "Brother Prince, why do you care so much about this?" she asked, but she knew her brother's thoughts very well.

After scratching his head, the young man pretended to be concerned: "Of course, the prince brother must care. We are the same father and mother are sisters, so who cares if I don't care?"

"Oh. Really? That little girl wants to thank the prince for her concern, but I haven't thought about this yet. Moreover, I don't know what kind of person Qin Mu is, so I can't say here at all." The girl raised her hand and brushed her hair in her ears, and smiled and pushed the problem away.

The young man didn't care. He knew that his sister was a famous person and was very careful and had a lot of opinions, so he said bluntly: "Seventeenth sister, let's not hide it from you, Prince Brother, I am quite optimistic about this boy Qin Mu. This guy is really capable. In just a few years, he has gone from a small civilian to the most powerful figure in the empire. Even many ministers in the court had to act according to his eyes. Now the father respects him very much. If the seventeenth sister matches him, it will be a perfect match, and the father will definitely be very satisfied."

After listening to her brother's advice, the girl did not show any expression on her face, but said lightly: "If it is as good as the prince's brother said, why would the eldest sister not want to marry him? I heard that the eldest sister repeatedly suggested to her father to remove Qin Mu from his post."

The young man was speechless for a while and couldn't find a suitable response for a long time. After a long time, he replied: "My elder sister is worried about nothing. She subconsciously has a prejudice against Qin Mu. I don't understand what she was thinking. Even if Qin Mu has any ideas, once he gets married, he will become the prince consort. It's just right. Is there anything wrong with it?"

"Brother Prince, the talent of my elder sister is obvious to all of us, more than a dozen brothers and sisters. It is hard to be convinced if you say this." The girl replied with a giggle, neither denying nor agreeing, making people unable to understand his true thoughts.

He cursed the ghost girl in his heart, but the young man had to pretend to be smiling, "This can only be said that personal perspectives on things are different, but I believe that my seventeenth girl has a unique vision and will definitely have a correct view and will not follow the crowd."

The girl chuckled, without saying a word, but just picked up the teacup intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing that the young man could not find the other party's true intentions, he had to try hard to boast about Qin Mu and left the girl's boudoir with a wry smile.

As night falls, the prosperous imperial capital is about to enter a new night. For this metropolis with a population of 5 million, the difference between day and night in many areas is not obvious, and some areas are even more prosperous at night. This is the place on the Forget-you River in the East District.

During the day, you can only see ships coming and going on the river section, but the most famous fragrant boats are rare. At this time, they are usually in some secluded river berths or directly introduced into small ponds formed in some private houses. Just pull down the water gate at the inlet, and there will be no trace. Therefore, the famous fragrant boat owners generally choose to spend a lot of money to purchase houses in the Wangyou section, and then dig out a water diversion canal to form a small harbor to facilitate mooring of ships.

It was already evening when the carriage that came to pick up Qin Mu was parked in front of Qin Mansion. Qin Mu, who had already been ready, jumped onto the carriage that had been inspected by his own guards. Under the protection of several guard soldiers, he quickly merged into the darkness with the advice of Li Shishi.

Although he didn't know what kind of banquet Qin Mu was going to, since he chose the evening, Li Shishi still stayed in the mansion tactfully. Originally, Qin Mu didn't want to take the guards, but with the insistence of Song Tianxiong and Li Shishi, he had to compromise and finally agreed to let Tang Tianxiong and three other capable guards follow him, which made Qin Mu feel very uncomfortable, but helpless.

When Qin Mu's carriage stopped, the group had already arrived at a pier by the Wangyou River. Jumped out of the car, Qin Mu saw the banquet owner standing on a huge ship at a glance, Liao Qichang, the head of Jiangnan County, and several other middle-aged people he didn't know. Judging from his dress, he was probably a celebrity or noble gentry.

The ship in front of me is probably the most magnificent ship that Qin Mu has ever seen. Its hull is about twenty meters long and seven meters wide. In addition to the lower cabin, the large cabin built on the surface of the ship also has two floors, arranged in a trapezoidal shape, and the lights are revealed. Each floor can be vaguely seen separated into dozens of rooms, with figures flowing, and it looks like a moving giant house.
