Murong Qing gave Luo Mingze an annoyed look. "What is it?" asked Jiang Xue who brought the last bowl of rice. "It doesn't matter." Murong Qing said then looked at Jiang Xue.

"Sister-in-law, why do you have to marry this man? There are so many handsome men in the capital. You could have chosen a better one." Murong Qing said seriously. Jiang Xue smiled. Luo Mingze sighed. 'Childish' Luo Mingze thought.

"What did he do to upset you?" Jiang Xue asked. “He…” Murong Qing trailed off. "Forget it." Murong Qing said sighing. The main rule is, don't tell what happened that day.

Murong Qing then took the bowl of rice and ate with gusto but his tears flowed. Jiang Xue was shocked to death. "You're okay, aren't you?" Jiang Xue asked worriedly. Luo Mingze looked at Murong Qing silently.

"I am alright." Murong Qing said putting down his bowl and wiping his tears. "Your food is too delicious." Murong Qing added. "Would you like another bowl?" Jiang Xue asked sadly. Murong Qing nodded cheerfully. Jiang Xue took Murong Qing's bowl and went to get him another bowl of rice.

"Do you remember your mother?" Luo Mingze asked suddenly. "Ehn" Murong Qing muttered briefly. Murong Qing remembers that his mother always cooked him delicious food in his past life until she was killed by his father's enemy. But over time his heart grew cold because his father changed after his mother died.

He hadn't felt this kind of feeling for so long that he probably forgot. Although Luo Mingze meant something different, it was basically the same so there was no problem answering Luo Mingze.

The lunch took place peacefully. Murong Qing said goodbye to the two of them and returned to his residence in front of the house. The next day, he reported to the Ministry of Justice and met Lan Feiyu, who had now been promoted to Minister.

Murong Qing heard Su Yang was stripped of his post and exiled to the border. Su Yang is the uncle of Su Liqiu, his father's empress. Murong Qing didn't care.

Murong Qing simply opened the file and then left. Nothing was done during the week he was on duty and Lan Feiyu seemed dissatisfied with this.

"What did you find?" Murong Qing asked. "Many ministers support Murong Xinyue because those ministers know that His Majesty the Emperor really likes the Imperial Concubine so it's likely that Murong Xinyue will get more support." Luo Zixin explained.

"Stupid people." Murong Qing said with a grin. "Prince, why do you talk like that?" Fan Yuxuan asked confusedly. Murong Qing looked at Fan Yuxuan and then at Luo Zixin. "Do you like him because he's innocent?" Murong Qing asked Luo Zixin. Both of their faces turned red.

Murong Qing laughed. "Don't make me the butt of jokes." Fan Yuxuan said disapprovingly. "Yuxuan, His Majesty the Emperor believes in his sons and daughters. Do you think he will make Luo Mingze a prince with the title of Lord Hua?" Murong Qing asked.

"Maybe as a thank you because Lord Hua has supported you a lot even though you were exiled." Fan Yuxuan said. "Then he could give him a position in the government instead of making himself prince. Father wants to give his position to Lord Hua." Murong Qing said calmly.

"Why not give it to the prince? You are his son after all?" Fan Yuxuan asked confusedly. "I told him, consider me dead. These words also meant that I didn't want the position of Emperor. His previous son was already dead. He understood what I meant and appointed Luo Mingze." Murong Qing replied.

"Don't you have any ideas?" Luo Zixin asked. "Your master asked or did you ask?" Murong Qing asked back. Luo Zixin fell silent. "Come out, no need to hide." Murong Qing said.
