Quick Wear: Crazy Fox Calm Tree

Chapter 155 The Noble Young Master and the Bloodthirsty Demon Servant 36

"He is still a little young, so he looks this big." Mu Qing said as he stroked the little fox.

The people on the side nodded in understanding. Most people would collect demon servants either to show off their wealth or to have the servants protect them. Only a very small number of people would do so because of interest, liking, etc.

Therefore, most demon servants are powerful, fully grown monsters. This is both majestic and practical, and is the choice of most people.

It seems that Mu Qing is one of the very few people, so he took a young fox with weak magical power as his demon servant.

You have to know that the life span of demons is very long, several times or even dozens of times that of humans. By the time this fox demon grows up, I'm afraid Mu Qing will have turned into a pile of bones.

"You have a good personality and a good family background, so it's okay to raise a fox demon for fun. Anyway, there is no need for him to do anything dangerous with you." The cousin at the side comforted.

Mu Qing is not a troublemaker, so naturally he doesn't have any enemies. Normally, it is enough to raise an ordinary fox demon. Although this fox demon is still very small, it can still deal with several adults, and it is enough to protect him.

Mu Qing nodded. He didn't raise the little fox to be a bodyguard. If there weren't too many powerful people in the capital, he was afraid that they would find out that Zi Jin's true identity was a fox demon and hurt him.

Mu Qing didn't need to take the little fox in as his demon servant. He could just bring Zi Jin with him. It was not like he couldn't afford to raise a living person.

"By the way, Ah Qing. The eldest prince's birthday is in two days. The emperor will hold a banquet in the palace, and daddy will also go there. You should come with us to see it then!" The cousin on the side suddenly remembered something and said.

"It's the eldest prince's birthday, what should I do?" Mu Qing waved his hands quickly. He had never met the eldest prince before. Besides, even if they wanted to invite the Mu family members, they should be the cousins. Who would he be responsible for?

"Hey, it's just for fun! You know the identity of the eldest prince. There are relatively few princes in the palace, and the eldest prince doesn't have many playmates.

It just so happened that Daddy and the eldest prince’s uncle were classmates and friends. Although the eldest prince’s uncle was sent far away to another place, he specifically asked Daddy to take good care of the eldest prince before he left.

So Dad asked us to spend more time with the eldest prince, and take him out to play when we have nothing to do. "The cousin explained that they had a good relationship with the eldest prince, and the eldest prince was also a very good person, very honest and kind. If it weren't for the fact that my grandparents' family was too weak, he would actually be the most suitable person to be the crown prince.

It’s a pity that the eldest prince only has one uncle left from his maternal family, and he is only a fifth-rank official who has been sent to a remote place and has no help at all.

"So uncle recommended the eldest prince as the crown prince?" Mu Qing asked quietly. If that was the case, it made sense. The Mu family was already on good terms with the eldest prince. Once the eldest prince became the crown prince, or even the emperor, the Mu family would also be able to rise to prominence, and perhaps continue their prosperity for hundreds of years.

However, the eldest prince's foundation is indeed weak. His maternal family has neither power nor wealth, and he only has an uncle who was sent to be an official. Now he doesn't know where he has been sent by the emperor, so he can't interfere in the affairs of the court at all.

The mother's rank was not very high. I don't know whether she was favored by the emperor, but she was definitely not as favored as the second prince's mother. It can be said that apart from being a little older, she had no advantages at all.

The fact that he was older could even be considered a disadvantage. After all, the current emperor was only in his early thirties, and was at the age of vigor and vitality. If nothing unexpected happened, there would be princes born in the future, and there would even be more and more princes in the palace.

The eldest prince is already 13 years old and can barely be considered a child, but in five years, or even in three or two years, the eldest prince will be able to marry and have children.

By then, the eldest prince will not only be a child to His Majesty, but also an adult who can compete with him for the throne.

To put it bluntly, if His Majesty had reigned a little longer, he might even have outlasted the Crown Prince.

Mu Qing thought about it and shook his head in his heart. Recommending the eldest prince was not a good idea. He really didn't understand why his uncle would recommend the eldest prince, and even why he wanted to get involved in the selection of the crown prince?

When the cousins ​​heard Mu Qing talking, they quickly waved their hands and shook their heads like rattles.

"You think too much, Ah Qing!"

"Although Dad asked us to befriend the eldest prince, I didn't have that intention. I just felt that the eldest prince was pitiful, so I accepted the request from my good friend."

"Yes! The reason why the eldest prince was chosen is because he is the eldest and there is no legitimate son in the palace, so of course the eldest son is given priority. After all, the eldest prince doesn't have any flaws. He is good at both literature and martial arts." The cousin, younger cousin and younger cousin hurriedly explained.

"So that's how it is. I was overthinking it." Mu Qing apologized to the other three people embarrassedly.

"Whoo~"

"Ah Qing, you almost scared me to death. Can you say that directly?"

Mu Qing smiled sheepishly and offered to treat them to a delicious meal as an apology.

The few of them did not refuse this. After all, they had discovered that their cousin was a great eater. Even if the food he chose was simple and the shop was relatively simple, it tasted really good.

It's even comparable to the delicacies from land and sea that they are used to eating. Just thinking about it makes them drool a little.

"Are you going to attend the eldest prince's banquet?" The cousin's last bit of rationality was awakened, and he asked the previous question again.

This time, Mu Qing did not refuse but nodded.

"Should I prepare any gifts then? What does the eldest prince like?" Mu Qing asked as he counted the money in his hand. Although he usually had a lot of silver and had saved a lot over the years, he still felt a little reluctant to spend money on some of the more expensive things.

I don't know what the eldest prince likes. Jade and other things are expensive, but he can afford them. He already has very expensive writing brushes, inkstones, paper and inkstones, so he doesn't need to spend money to buy them, he just needs to give them up.
