Princess Xuan felt a little jealous, but she was also happy. At least as parents, they were not with their child, and there was someone who spoiled their daughter on their behalf.

"Mother, have someone bring out the tribute wine. When your master's disciples come tomorrow, we can have some fun together."

But in a corner that Qin Ning couldn't see, Princess Xuan's eyes flickered darkly: with less wine, there would be more space in the mustard bag, and more treasures would be left for Ning'er.

"Okay, I'll listen to mother. It's better to let father accompany us. He also loves wine and can have a few glasses." Then the master can drink fewer glasses.

Qin Ning smiled like a kitten stealing food, with the corners of her mouth raised even in her dreams.

Early the next morning, a distinguished guest arrived at the gate of Prince Xuan's mansion.

They come to celebrate Qin Ning's birthday every year. The doormen are all elderly people who welcome people in with familiarity.

Qin Ning was still in bed at this moment, and Ah Su rushed over with her long skirt in hand, and with a flying pounce, she woke up the person who was still dreaming: "Ah Ning, get up quickly, the sun is shining on your butt!"

As Asu approached, the maid pulled open the curtains on the bed and smashed into the sleeping person's stomach like a cannonball, while her hands were still touching the person's waist and abdomen.

Qin Ning was woken up by a beating. Being woken up like this, a person who is always grumpy when waking up, the Prince Xuan's Mansion had to make a commotion before it could calm down.

However, such habits will always be indulged in by special people.

The fury in Qin Ning's eyes was quickly turned into laughter by the hand tickling her waist and abdomen: "Hahaha, good Ah Su, stop it quickly. I had my coming-of-age ceremony yesterday, and my mother woke me up at the early hour to do my makeup, so I got up a little late."

They practiced martial arts in the mountains, and got up and squatted before the morning hour every day. Now it was only the beginning of the morning hour, about an hour later than usual.

Although she said this, Qin Ning's eyes were still as bright as a thousand-watt light bulb: "You are here, is Master here too? She missed my coming-of-age ceremony, so I have to go to her study to find some good things this time."

She has been coveting that mustard bag for a long time!

Ah Su stopped the person who wanted to go down barefoot and said helplessly: "Be quiet, Master is talking to the prince and princess in the front yard. If you barge in like this, you will be scolded."

Etiquette is extremely important in the palace. If you go barefoot to the front yard to meet guests, you will inevitably be scolded.

Qin Ning's eyes rolled around, baring her big white teeth in laughter. "It's okay. My father and mother value Master the most. They won't hit me in front of her. When Master leaves, we are 800 miles away from Jingdu City. They won't catch up with us."

"You are so clever!" She poked Qin Ning's forehead, watching the maid bring her boots in an orderly manner and help her put them on, and then brought hot water for her to wash up. The skilled division of labor throughout the process made people marvel.

"We missed your coming-of-age ceremony yesterday. How about we let you go to a jewelry store in Kyoto City and choose a piece of jewelry today to make amends?"

"No!" Qin Ning looked at the person behind her through the bronze mirror. Asu was wearing a different outfit today than when she practiced martial arts. She was wearing a lotus pink long skirt. The belt outlined her figure in an alluring way. The golden hairpin on her head shone brightly under the reflection of the sunlight.

I think the other person must have dressed up carefully in order to participate in my coming-of-age ceremony.

How could someone who dotes on her so much not know that she doesn't like those complicated jewelry!

However, Asu also hoped that she could dress like a gentle woman like her.

Asu always said, she is so beautiful, why does she dress like a man?

But she likes it this way, and will not change because of anyone's expectations: "You know I don't like those jewelry, why don't I take you to the blacksmith shop and let me order a weapon for you?"

Ah Su shook his head: "The red tassel spear of yours was specially made by Master. It is the most suitable for your use. Why do you need other weapons?"

"Hey!" After washing up, Qin Ning quickly pulled people towards the front hall, saying as he walked: "I have weapons, but I still lack hidden weapons!"

"You have inherited the true teachings of Master in this area. Even Master said that it is hard to find another person in the world who is as good at designing hidden weapons as you."

"If I could get a hidden weapon that you personally designed for me, I would love it so much that I wouldn't even want to take it off when I eat or sleep."

While pushing the man, she stared at the ring on his finger with her unconcealed eyes. There was a hidden weapon on it that the man had loved to use for many years.

The ring is equipped with short needles around the finger. Each needle is custom-made and contains soft tendon powder. As long as you turn the tiny gold edge around the ring, the short needles inside will be shot out straight away.

She is familiar with the acupuncture points on the human body, and a short needle can take a person's life instantly.

If it is used on others, the short needles that are rubbed with the muscle softener and enter the body can cause people with high martial arts skills to lose their internal strength and take their life before the opponent recovers.

She had been coveting such a useful and easy-to-carry hidden weapon for a long time.

But Asu said that this thing is not easy to make. She made more than ten failed ones before she succeeded.

It’s not that those that failed are unusable. Some of them require thicker needles, but the marks left behind will be very heavy...but these are definitely not enough for those who pursue perfection.

Asu looked at the other person's naked eyes and glanced at the sky in the distance helplessly.

Well, it’s a bit cloudy today, and the clouds are dark.

It's just... perfect for gift giving... right?

She took the ring off her hand, looked at the other person's outstretched right hand, and put it on the other person's finger very solemnly: "If the short needle inside is used up, ask me to replace it. I set a secret compartment inside, so don't move it at will."

"This is to prevent the ring from falling into the hands of outsiders. If anyone dismantles it without authorization, the pinhole inside will be aimed directly at her and kill her instantly. Do you remember this?"

She originally wanted to make a ring for her without this secret compartment, but it was not easy to make. There have been a lot of things going on recently, and the noble family was ready to make a move. Before she had time to make it, she was already on the mind of this person.

It would be difficult for someone who does not understand the art of mechanisms to learn how to use this secret compartment even if taught.

An Ning's martial arts skills were better than hers, but she knew nothing about the art of mechanical engineering.

There was no other way, she could only give such instructions.

"Yeah, I'll remember. Asu is the best!" Qin Ning smiled happily and nodded perfunctorily, with her eyes focused on the ring on her right hand.

"Swish!" The short needle came out of its sheath and instantly inserted into the trunk of a winter plum tree beside the path in the courtyard. The trace left behind was integrated with the trunk. If it were in the dark, even a person with sharp eyesight would find it difficult to detect.

Killing people without being seen, that’s all!
