Quick Wear: Crazy Fox Calm Tree

Chapter 170 The Noble Young Master and the Bloodthirsty Demon Servant 51

Life after entering the Imperial College did not change much compared to the previous life in the clan school. Every day was still mainly spent on reading, and after finishing the books, I could arrange my time freely.

You can go to the library and browse all kinds of books at will, or find a leisurely place to taste delicious snacks. After all, it is the best college in the country, and the teachers, chefs, and scenery are all the best. Mu Qing and his friends even gained some weight.

Seeing that it was the holiday again, Mu Qing and his friends had just returned last month, so they were not in a hurry to go back this time. Instead, they planned to stay in the Imperial College for a few days.

After all, at this time, it would be safer to stay in the Imperial College than to go back to the Mu family.

The situation in the court became increasingly tense, even to the point where it was incomprehensible. In the past year, since the eldest prince turned 14, the emperor seemed to have become more and more fond of him. Not only did he take the eldest prince to court, he also allowed him to work in the six ministries.

Although on the surface it seemed that the Emperor valued the eldest prince very much, in reality the eldest prince had neither military power nor financial power, and there were only a bunch of ministers who insisted that the eldest prince should be the crown prince.

As for the second prince, although he is relatively young, his mother's family is quite powerful, and the former court and the harem are also quite influential. Even though the second prince does not understand what the imperial power is, he has his own faction of people, and they always speak well of the second prince. The second prince's uncle has done a lot of things and put all the blame on the second prince.

So much so that the second prince, who was less than eight years old, had already comforted the victims and treated floods. He could be said to be a "child prodigy".

The emperor's attitude is even more puzzling. The emperor likes the second prince very much for his repeated outstanding achievements, but he doesn't seem to express more, and it seems that he has never seen the second prince's achievements.

As for the eldest prince, the emperor seemed to be very partial to him. Whenever the eldest prince did something small, the emperor would praise him profusely. He even said many times that the eldest prince was like him.

As a result, people in the court were a little panicked. Some people thought that the eldest prince was so valued by the emperor that he must be the candidate for the crown prince. Others were very dissatisfied and believed that the eldest prince's qualifications were mediocre and could not compare with the excellent second prince. Therefore, the people under the second prince became more and more hardworking.

She is very busy, either finding fault with the eldest prince or helping the second prince achieve success.

Of course, there are some people in the court who are not elected at all. They are just watching the show, but they are also the ones who see the court most clearly.

Mu Qing was standing outside the palace, so he could see more clearly. If he guessed correctly, the prince's drama should be over soon and have a result.

And the fact was just as he guessed. In the same year that Mu Qing and others graduated from the Imperial College, the eldest prince was 17 years old and the second prince was ten years old. The eldest prince, who should have been canonized as the crown prince and married, was deposed by the emperor for various crimes and became a commoner.

The second prince did not fare well either, as he disregarded family ties, colluded with court officials, and plotted against the eldest prince for various crimes, so he was also placed under house arrest and was finally made a prince of leisure.

Because he was still young, he was allowed to wait until he came of age before going to his fief. As for his uncle, he was demoted by the emperor, and although he was not beheaded, it was estimated that there would be no hope of returning to the officialdom for several generations.

It was not until this time that everyone realized that the emperor had originally chosen the third prince as the crown prince.

Although the third prince was very weak when he was born, four years later, although his body was not as strong as that of an ordinary child, he was able to stand on his own feet.

The third prince is young and intelligent. Although his mother's family does not have particularly great power, it is a noble family. Half of the people in the court are the third prince's great-grandfather and his grandfather's disciples and classmates.

He had a very high reputation both in the court and among the people, so although the ministers were surprised that the third prince took the position of crown prince, they did not express much opposition.

After all, the third prince is the most suitable person in this situation. And although the third prince is young, the emperor is not old either. He can still live for at least a few more decades, which is enough time for the third prince to grow up.

After the candidate for the crown prince was determined, the court finally returned to calm. Let's not talk about the second prince for now. So many things have happened in the past few years that he may not be able to understand them all now.

As for the eldest prince, he left the palace alone as soon as the emperor made the decision. At first, some news came, but not long after, the people who delivered the news lost track of the eldest prince.

The emperor and his court officials secretly sent people to search for the eldest prince for a long time, but they could not find any news about the eldest prince. Later, as time passed and the third prince grew up, everyone gave up.

The court officials were all wondering whether the eldest prince had been silenced or had met with some accident and was no longer alive. After all, there was no trace of him, alive or dead.

They did want to look for him, but the emperor did not take any action, so they naturally could not do anything. After all, the third prince's position as the crown prince was very stable, and they did not want to offend the emperor and bring bad luck to the future emperor just for the sake of an elder prince whom they had some affection for.

The matter of the eldest prince gradually came to nothing, and only Mu Qing knew that the eldest prince should now be following the plot of the original book.

In his last reincarnation, when he met the male and female protagonists, the eldest prince was probably only about twenty-one or twenty-two years old. At that time, he had already met the female protagonist, and the two of them had been together for some time.

So if we calculate it, the eldest prince should have started practicing magic by now, and there are only about three years left since their last meeting in reincarnation.

From this perspective, the eldest prince's time is quite tight. If he cannot become stronger than the heroine in three years, then at that time it will not be the demon exorcist who will catch the little demon, but the little demon who will harass the demon exorcist.

Although Mu Qing was quite looking forward to the plot of the latter, the former had been decided long ago, so he decided not to get involved in it so as not to delay his main business.

Mu Qing thought about this while sitting under Yue Qingcheng's tree, rocking in a rocking chair, eating grapes, and occasionally feeding one to Zi Jin who was sitting in the rocking chair next to him.

Zijin, who originally looked youthful, has now become much more mature and taller. He looks to be around 20 years old and has a more devilish charm than before.

"Qingqing, don't we need to deal with things?" Zijin asked doubtfully while lying leisurely in the rocking chair.

After graduating from the Imperial College, Mu Qing asked to return to Yueqing City. The emperor saw that he had good grades and the status of the Mu family, so he sent him to Yueqing City as the city lord to manage the affairs of the city.

Although Yueqing City is not as big as the capital, it is not small, and there are many trivial matters in the family. Zijin originally thought that Mu Qing would be very busy, but since he came back, he has been leisurely staying in the yard all day long, eating, drinking and having fun. He goes out for a walk from time to time, but only to buy things, as if he has never dealt with any affairs.

"No need. Father and mother will take care of it. They have been in Yueqing City for so many years and are very familiar with the things here. Dealing with the city lord's affairs is just a small matter." Mu Qing waved his hand. Although Mu's father was just a branch of the Mu family before, he was a prominent figure in Yueqing City. Even the city lord had to listen to him.

It can be said that Mu Fu is the real lord of Yue Qingcheng, but he is not the legitimate one.

Now that Mu Qing has given him a legitimate identity, Mu's father will of course accept it without hesitation.

Zi Jin thought about it, and the expressions of Mu's father and mother when they came back, as well as their spirits when they received the city lord token given by Qingqing, and he already understood something.

It seems that they really don't have to worry about the city lord's affairs, and Mu Fu and the others are also happy about it.

Mu Qing yawned, then suddenly moved closer to Zi Jin, hugged his warm arms, and asked casually, "Zi Jin, do you like children?"

"?" Zijin's eyes were full of confusion. He didn't understand why he would ask himself such a question. Suddenly, he thought of a possibility and his face instantly turned cold. "I like you and only you. I won't look for someone else to have a baby. You can't look for someone else either, otherwise I will bite them to death!"

Zijin gritted his teeth while speaking, with a fierce gleam in his eyes.

Mu Qing patted his belly and couldn't help rolling his eyes.

"What are you thinking about! You are always thinking about beautiful things, little fox, you sold it to me." Mu Qing pinched his ear while speaking, his voice full of helplessness. Seeing that Zi Jin had calmed down, Mu Qing explained, "I asked you if you like children. I just want to ask you, do you want to adopt a child?"

"Why? Isn't having me enough? Do you want to find a few more kids? I don't agree!" Zi Jin felt his hands and teeth itching when he thought of Mu Qing being surrounded by a few little kids or little fox cubs.

With Mu Qing's personality, if he really had such a group of kids, he would definitely divide half of his time with them, and would no longer attach as much importance to himself as before.

"Okay!" Mu Qing nodded dryly. "Since you don't want to, I can only bother my father and mother. Although they won't have any more brothers or sisters, it should be no problem for them to adopt a child."

"?"

"Although it doesn't matter if the two of us don't want children, but if the two of us don't want children, plus your identity, it will be a problem. After a long time, people will definitely say that you are the fox demon of the city." Mu Qing stretched out his finger and hooked Zijin's chin, half seriously and half jokingly said.

Zijin instantly understood what he meant. Indeed, if two men did not get married, although there would be some gossip, no one would care.

But they are both a demon, one human and one demon, and a fox demon. There will definitely be many people who think that they have bewitched Qingqing. After all, this is also the common impression that fox demons give people.

"Besides, I'm not young anymore. My parents have been relieved about me in recent years. It's time for them to have another child to take care of them." Mu Qing sighed slightly. It was a pity that Mu's father and mother had a little relationship. Otherwise, with their relationship, they would probably have lost count of their children.

"Yeah." Zi Jin didn't know what he was thinking, but nodded anyway. Adopting a child was not a big deal, as long as he didn't get close to them.

"Zijin, give me a hug." Mu Qing suddenly opened his arms and said.

Zijin didn't say anything and just hugged her.

The two hugged each other tightly, and Mu Qing suddenly remembered what happened in the Wood Realm before, when they had not yet transformed. Usually, he either shrank into a small body and was carried around by Zi Jin, or he hid Zi Jin firmly in a tree to avoid the thunder.

Speaking of which, Mu Qing hasn't felt such a warm and familiar embrace for a long time. Now he suddenly feels a little sour, and he misses Zijin a little.
