The food was delicious. Li Mofu didn't make much noise after the food was served, and Lu Mingyun was also happy to have some peace and quiet.
But on this happy day, it was not just Li Mofu who joined in the fun, there were others who also liked to join in the fun.
"dong dong dong"
Just as Li Mofu was enjoying his roasted lamb trotters, someone knocked on the door of the private room, and the knock attracted everyone's attention.
"Who is it? What's the matter?" Mo Zhu asked with a frown.
The waiter's voice came from outside the door, "Lu, Mr. Lu, someone wants to see you."
Mo Zhu looked at Lu Mingyun. If there was nothing wrong, the waiter would not have called them. There was probably a person of extraordinary status standing outside the door.
Lu Mingyun frowned and nodded, not knowing what he was thinking about. Mo Zhu took a step forward and slightly opened the door. After seeing who was outside the door, he froze.
Li Mofu put down the sheep's hoof to wipe his hands, and when he looked up again, Mo Zhu had already opened the door and was standing aside to welcome in a person dressed in platinum clothes.
A closer look revealed a golden Qilin embroidered on the man's silk clothes. He must be a high-ranking official or a royal relative.
"Your Highness? I didn't expect to meet you here." After seeing who it was, Lu Mingyun smiled and stood up to salute.
Hearing that the person coming was the prince, Li Mofu stood up quickly, lowered his head and retreated to the side.
Prince Qi is about ten years older than Lu Mingyun and is now less than thirty years old. He is as gentle as jade, with an upright figure, a pair of smiling almond-shaped eyes, and seems to be very easy to talk to.
"Don't be so reserved. There's no need for formalities between you and me." King Qi said as he sat down next to Lu Mingyun. He smiled and urged him, "Hurry up and sit down. I heard you made the list and came to congratulate you."
The King of Qi was followed by two guards, one stopped at the door and the other followed behind him.
Li Mofu silently retreated to the wall. If it weren't for the guard guarding the door, he would have been able to retreat outside.
Lu Mingyun had a decent smile on his face. He certainly wouldn't believe that King Qi just came to congratulate him on passing the exam.
Because his mother died early, he did not have a close relationship with the royal family. Although he was the emperor's nephew, he was not familiar with many royal family members and could not get along with them.
Of course, Lu Mingyun didn't want to be dragged into the royal family's turmoil.
The Prince of Qi suddenly appeared beside him frequently in the past few years, although this frequency was only relative to other royal family members.
The King of Qi claimed to be his third uncle and said that he had a very good relationship with the eldest princess and that the eldest princess took good care of him.
Lu Mingyun was very confused at first, but later he gradually realized that the King of Qi was not trying to renew his family relationship with him, but was trying to be wary of him.
The emperor's health has been getting worse in recent years, and the current crown prince has performed mediocrely. On the contrary, the other princes are both talented in literature and martial arts and extremely intelligent.
For a time, the court was divided into three factions.
One faction was the Crown Prince's Party, who believed that the Crown Prince's benevolence and righteousness were good for the country and the people. Another faction was the Second Prince's Party, who believed that the Second Prince was both civil and military, and had military achievements to his name, so he would definitely be able to defend the country. Another faction was the Third Prince's Party, who believed that the Third Prince was intelligent and agile, and a man capable of governing the country.
It is said that the Prince of Qi is one of the factions that supports the Third Prince. He looks like a kind and good person, but in fact he is so meticulous that people cannot understand what he is thinking.
Lu Mingyun had heard some things about the King of Qi, and he also knew that the King of Qi was very wary of his identity as the emperor's nephew.
But he had no idea of the throne, so he was willing to accept the spies planted by the King of Qi.
It was just that Aunt Bai brought about her own death, and because Li Mofu did not accept the foreign beauty, King Qi became suspicious again.
"Your Highness, there is no need to make a trip for such a small matter. Just send someone to deliver your blessings." Lu Mingyun said politely.
The King of Qi smiled and shook his head, "That won't do. After all, you are my nephew. We must give each other gifts when we meet."
