Chapter 162 The Noble Young Master and the Bloodthirsty Demon Servant 43
After Mu Anzhi and the others chatted with the eldest prince in the pavilion for a while, the eldest prince was called away by the eunuchs beside the emperor, who said that the emperor wanted to talk to him about something.
Seeing this, Mu Qing and the other two stopped following the eldest prince and instead strolled around the imperial garden.
"Alas, I don't know why the emperor wants to see the eldest prince." Mu Lezhi sighed. Although he was still young, he could see that the emperor did not like the eldest prince.
"Be careful with your words." Mu Anzhi frowned, but did not say anything. As long as the position of the crown prince has not been decided, the eldest prince's situation in the palace will only get worse as he grows older.
I don’t know when the eldest prince will be able to get rid of all this.
"Cousin, I don't think the eldest prince has that intention either." Mu Qing was a little confused. He glanced in the direction of Qiankun Palace while speaking, and then asked, "If that's the case, then why does uncle support the eldest prince? If there is no support from the court officials, the situation for the eldest prince should be better. And the court officials can also choose other princes, which is good for both of them."
Mu Anzhi shook his head and whispered, "It's not as simple as you said. Father doesn't think the eldest prince can really become the crown prince. It's just that the eldest prince is the eldest and is good in all aspects. Although he doesn't have much fame, he has some reputation. So, no matter from which aspect, he should be the crown prince."
How could the head of the Mu family not know what Mu Qing could think of? However, as a court official, he could only choose the eldest prince to maintain the system of primogeniture.
And the other reason is not easy to explain. The head of the Mu family did not even tell his own son. He felt that the emperor would not want to see all the ministers support the second prince, even if the second prince was the most likely to become the crown prince.
However, although the head of the Mu family did not say it, Mu Anzhi had some guesses in his heart, but only a little.
Mu Qing nodded and didn't ask any more questions about the eldest prince.
I saw the boys and girls around me standing in groups of three or five, reciting poems or chatting.
Mu Qing greeted his cousins and turned to walk into the crowd, trying to look for Zijin.
At this moment, Zijin was sitting by the bridge, eating snacks in big mouthfuls, holding a pot of wine in his hand and taking a sip from time to time.
His eyes were a little dazed, as if he was a little drunk, but he kept stuffing snacks into his mouth.
Mu Qing walked over with a smile, stood quietly behind him, and covered his eyes with one hand.
"Guess who I am?" Mu Qing said in a deliberately hoarse voice.
Feeling the warm palm on his face, Zi Jin was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face.
"I guess it's an old man with difficulty walking." Otherwise, why would he walk so slowly? If he didn't come over, Zijin would be drunk.
"Yes! So young people with nimble legs and feet, hurry up and carry me on your back. I also want to eat the delicious peach blossom cake." Mu Qing said as he lay on Zijin's back, took the peach blossom cake in his hand, and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Okay, then I'll carry you over here now?" Zijin turned his head and looked at Zijin behind him. They were face to face and almost kissed.
Mu Qing sucked at the corner of Zijin's mouth without any hesitation, then stood up, ate the peach blossom cake while asking Zijin to accompany him to find something to eat.
Touching the corner of his mouth which still retained some warmth, Zijin's eyes were full of smiles and a hint of excitement.
Mu Qing looked at Zi Jin, the smile on his face deepened. He reached out and took Zi Jin's arm, leading him to the table while whispering in his ear.
"Don't make a fuss here, let's talk about it when we get back." As he said this, he pulled Zijin's clothes with a pleading look on his face.
Zijin squeezed Mu Qing's hand hard, then turned away without saying anything.
The eldest prince’s birthday party was very lively. After eating one delicious dish after another, the party finally ended.
Looking at the eldest prince standing next to the emperor with a calm expression, Mu Qing sighed silently in his heart. It seemed that the emperor prepared this birthday party just to make the eldest prince a target, and he didn't really want to compensate his son at all.
I'm afraid that after this birthday party, the eldest prince's situation will become even more difficult. Maybe then he will know why the eldest prince became a demon hunter.
……
As the days passed, Mu Qing would often take Zi Jin for a stroll around the capital city besides going to school. Together they tried all kinds of delicacies in the capital city, and they even gained a certain reputation.
The food that was praised by both of them must taste very good, so many restaurants welcomed them very much and were even eager to treat them for free.
In just three short months since coming to the capital, Mu Qing has gained more than ten pounds. The prototype of Zi Jin standing next to him has finally become round and plump, looking even more adorable.
Many young ladies in the capital city vied with each other to touch and hug him, but he dodged them all, and was laughed at by Mu Qing for this.
Of course, Mu Qing was punished after his ridicule. He had to lie in bed for several days. He didn't eat as much as before, but just ate vegetables boiled in plain water for several days.
