Chapter 133 The Noble Young Master and the Bloodthirsty Demon Servant 14

"Qing'er, you must be tired! Today we have your favorite Longjing shrimps and fish in sauce, both are very fresh!" said Mu's mother.

"I'm not tired, just a little hungry." Mu Qing actually likes reading books very much. In class, the teacher usually teaches them to read, play chess, or draw. He thinks it is quite interesting.

"Then eat quickly! Next time if you are hungry, just ask the kitchen to make something for you first. You don't have to wait for us." Father Mu said, stroking his beard.

Originally, Mu Qing had a small kitchen, but since he got better, he insisted on eating with them. As time went on, the small kitchen gradually stopped cooking and only prepared some snacks and midnight snacks.

Now Qing'er is in school and she is growing taller so it is inevitable that she will be hungry from time to time. In this case, why not let the small kitchen cook meals again so that they don't have to wait for them every day.

"My parents are usually busy, so they can only have dinner together in the evening. Of course I have to come. But we should also prepare something in the small kitchen! I don't know if it's because I've grown up, but I never eat enough lately and I get hungry after a while." Mu Qing touched his stomach. Ever since he took care of this body, he has been able to eat more. One reason is the development of this body, and the other is because he had too much loss before, so he needs to supplement his nutrition.

"Okay, okay, being able to eat is a blessing." Mu's mother nodded with a smile. Not to mention that her son Qing'er has gained weight recently and looks more lively than before.

"In that case, let's eat!" Father Mu waved his hand, and the remaining dishes were no longer placed one by one, but served together.

There were twelve dishes and one soup filling up the table, but the portions were not very big. Only a few of the main dishes were on larger plates, and the rest were on small plates the size of two palms.

Smelling the aroma of the food, the three members of the Mu family began to eat. The chefs of the Mu Mansion were all specially invited retired imperial chefs, so the taste of the food they cooked was naturally not to be underestimated.

The Longjing shrimps are sweet and fresh, with a hint of tea fragrance. The fish in sauce is very crispy, and even the bones are crispy when you bite it. It is sweet but not greasy. The spare ribs are salt and pepper, and each piece is the same size, and the meat is very chewy. There is also the sweet and smooth meatball soup...

After eating and drinking, the three of them sat on chairs and drank tea. Mu Qing looked at his parents, who had a look of satisfaction on their faces, put down the teacup in his hand, and asked.

"Dad and Mom, why did you look so serious just now? What happened?"

"Qing'er, did you see it just now?" Mu's mother was a little surprised. She thought Qing'er didn't know! After looking at her husband, Mu's father sighed helplessly, with a trace of worry on his face.

"It's a matter of the court. You also know that our lineage is a branch of the Mu family in the capital. We prosper together and suffer together. But something happened to our family recently. The current emperor is over 30 years old, but he has few children, only three sons and two daughters.

The eldest prince is just 13 now, the second prince is six years old, and the youngest prince was just born, but his health is not good, so we don’t know yet…” Father Mu gave everyone a look. The third prince was a premature baby, born only seven months. It is said that his health is very poor. It is less than ten days old now, and it is said that he has difficulty feeding, so it is not known whether he can live to a full month.

"The ministers all hope that the emperor can appoint a crown prince as soon as possible. The emperor did not care at first, but as the ministers kept asking for his approval, the emperor became somewhat unhappy. Just two days ago, he angrily rebuked all the ministers in the court and left without even finishing the morning court." Mu's father shook his head as he spoke, with a hint of fear on his face.

"So what does this have to do with the Mu family? Could it be that my uncle just happened to be caught in the crossfire?" Mu Qing was a little confused. The memorial was submitted by all the ministers together, and the law does not hold everyone responsible. Even if the emperor was angry, he should not do anything to the Mu family.

Besides, the Mu family doesn’t have a prince, so no matter which prince comes to the throne, he has no blood relationship with the Mu family.

"That's not the case. These are things that happened in the past. Later, the emperor was annoyed by the ministers. In addition, there were indeed few princes, and it seemed that there was no room for comparison, so the emperor decided to appoint a crown prince.

But the selection of the crown prince is also a problem. Although the eldest prince is older, he is of ordinary birth. His abilities in all aspects are not bad, but they are not outstanding.

The second prince was born to the imperial concubine. His uncle's family was a general with great power, but the imperial concubine and the emperor had already lost their relationship. Although the second prince was quite smart, he was still young and his temperament had not yet been determined.

The third prince was born into a good family. His mother was a concubine and was favored by the emperor. However, the third prince had poor health and it was uncertain whether he could grow up.

So, apart from the third prince, the people who supported the remaining two princes accounted for half each, and the Mu family supported the eldest prince. Everything was fine, but a while ago, the eldest prince suddenly got into trouble and was scolded by the emperor.

It just so happened that the Mu family had just proposed to make the eldest prince the crown prince, but the emperor was furious and scolded the Mu family in court, demoted your uncle's position, and confined him at home. "Father Mu covered his head with a headache. This was an unprovoked disaster for the Mu family. If the emperor really disliked the Mu family, what would they do!
