It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

"You agreed so quickly? Without even thinking about it?" Shan Ji supported his chin with one hand and stared at Mu Qing with deep eyes.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Mu Qing frowned. Not only did a grown man wear revealing clothes all year round, his behavior was even more dissolute than those in a brothel.

It's really immoral.

"As I said just now, men are all sensual animals. From now on, I will find someone to train you. When you can learn the tricks to seduce people, I will tell you about my sister."

Mu Qing was stunned for a moment before she realized that Shan Ji had fooled her: "Shan Ji, what do you mean, do you think I..."

"Mu Qing, you are really stupid. You have a hundred ways to make Lu Sui bow his head, but you chose the stupidest way."

Shan Ji felt that he had a miserable life. Of all the people in the world, he chose the stupid Mu Qing. "The only way for you to turn things around now is to complete everything step by step."

"Shan Ji, I don't have time to argue with you. Can you please tell me clearly what you want me to do?"

"I'll let you learn the tricks to seduce people, so that you are qualified to catch the emperor's eye. If the emperor is very pleased, it will be more than enough for him to make you a concubine."

"W-what did you say?"

Mu Qing's eyes suddenly widened. Shan Ji's words made her feel that her ears were insulted: "Shan Ji, are you kidding? The emperor is old enough to be my grandfather, and you want me to seduce him, you..."

"Other than this method, how can you make Lu Sui bow his head? And most importantly, my sister will bow her head and kowtow to you whenever she sees you."

Mu Qing moved her lips. She had to say that the second half of the sentence made her heart beat.

She dreamed of stepping on Yuan Buwei under her feet and giving her a severe lesson.

"As long as you become a favorite concubine, not only Lu Sui, but even your biological father will kowtow to you when he sees you. Haven't you always wanted to seek justice for your grandmother?"

Mu Qing looked at Shan Ji, and after a moment asked: "If I learn it, then what identity should I use to approach the emperor?"

"Mu Qing, what's my last name?"

"Last name?" Mu Qing looked at him in confusion. "Shan."

"Yes, my last name is Shan. The emperor dreams of being related to the Shan family. After all, the Shan family's mechanical skills are world-famous. You can enter the harem as a member of the Shan family. With your seductive skills, you will definitely be able to control the emperor. By then, the entire harem will be in your hands." Shan Ji picked up an orange from the fruit plate and held it tightly in his palm. "Imagine that Lu Sui is standing in front of you at this moment. You ask him to kneel down. If he doesn't kneel, it will be a crime. You can torture him however you want."

Mu Qing swallowed and was lost in thought.

"Of course, you don't have to answer me now. I will give you enough time to consider it."

When Shan Ji turned around, Mu Qing stopped him and said, "Wait, you can't possibly play such a big game just to get Yuan Buwei. What are you planning?"

"Do you want to know?" Shan Ji turned to look at her.

"Of course I want to know. If I don't know anything and just do things according to your requirements, then what am I? Your puppet?" Mu Qing snorted, "I, Mu Qing, also have backbone."

"Mu Qing, backbone is not used in this aspect, but if you want to know, I don't need to hide it from you. Do you know the Ten Great Formation Diagrams?"

"What are the Ten Great Formation Diagrams?"

"Ten battle maps for leading troops into battle."

Mu Qing's pupils shrank, and he blurted out subconsciously: "My grandfather has one!"

"Your grandfather?"

"No..." Mu Qing covered his mouth and nose, "You haven't told me yet, what do you want to do? Tell me, and then I'll tell you mine."

"Okay. I'll say it."

Shan Ji sat down at the table again, poured himself a glass of water, took a few sips, and then said slowly: "Legend has it that piecing these ten formation diagrams together would form a treasure map. The wealth accumulated over the generations is a huge sum. The Shan family has been searching for several generations, but only got two formation diagrams, the Seven Star Big Dipper Formation and the Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation. If I can collect the remaining eight, I will be the next head of the Shan family."

"Shan Ji, you have a problem with your brain. This formation map belongs to Da Zhao. How can you want to take it?!" Mu Qing shook his head. "No, I can't help you. Back then, my grandfather defeated the enemy with just one formation map. If you get ten, who knows if you will start a rebellion. By then, the whole Da Zhao will be in ruins."

"If Shan really wanted to be the emperor, it wouldn't be my turn. Besides, I have no interest in being the emperor." Shan Ji smiled, "You take your time to think about it. I'm leaving first."

"and many more."

Mu Qing called out to Shan Ji: "Can I understand it this way? You let me enter the palace as a concubine and then get the emperor's favor, so that I can steal the formation map from him?"

"It seems that you know that the emperor really has a formation diagram?"

"I don't know exactly how many the emperor has, but... but when I was kicked out of the Swift Wind Camp by Lu Sui, my grandmother used the formation diagram left by my grandfather in exchange for my return to the Swift Wind Camp."

Shan Ji frowned, "Are you kidding me? You know that even the whereabouts of the formation diagram will cause countless people to fight to the death, and your grandmother was presented to the emperor so easily?"

"Then what can I do? I don't know that the formation diagram is related to the treasures accumulated over the generations?" Mu Qing suddenly felt aggrieved. "I just want to realize my ideals and ambitions, but now, I am being pushed step by step. Has anyone seen my pain and sadness? Now you want me to learn some seduction skills..."

"If you don't want to, I won't force you. Any girl in the Shan family is prettier and more sensible than you. Your only advantage is that you have had an intersection with Lu Sui, and I want to be with my sister forever, which is why I chose you." Shan Ji's tone was cold, and he looked at Mu Qing with cold and distant eyes. "Complaining is the most incompetent behavior. Either endure it or hate it. Think about it yourself."

This time, Shan Ji did not stay.

He turned around and walked out of the room, leaving Mu Qing there with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

"Grandma...what should I do?"

Mu Qing's legs went weak and he knelt on the ground, looking up at the snow outside the window.

Wake up the next day.

The snow stopped, but the temperature dropped a few degrees.

Yuan Buwei was shivering with cold just after walking a few steps from her room to the guest room.

"Hello, madam."

"Lie down quickly."

As soon as Yuan Buwei entered the guest room, she saw He Hua struggling to get up, and hurried over to her, "How did you sleep last night?"

"Young Madam, last night was the most sound sleep I've ever had."

Lotus touched the quilt covering her body: "It's freezing outside, but this room is as warm as spring, and with the quilt, I feel like I'm lying on a cloud. I'm a little dizzy."
