Chapter 1062: The Elder Prince’s Return 2

The King did remember that he had pa.s.sed such an order, but he had been so distracted by what happened to Li Village that he forgot about his order to bring the Elder Prince back home.

He wanted to bring the Elder Prince back because he was not happy with the Crown Prince.

Yet now the Crown Prince had almost lost his life working for him at Li Village, he almost felt that he should not be so cruel to him. The Crown Prince had always been his favourite son yet he was too arrogant these days, so he needed to suppress him. However, right now the Crown Prince was keeping a low-profile and had been living at his own mansion.

He wasn’t unhappy about his current behavior.

That was why he forgot about the Elder Prince and did not even think about how to arrange the Elder Prince’s future.

He could not grant him the t.i.tle of a lord, because the Crown Prince was going to be very unhappy about the Elder Prince’s new t.i.tle.

However, he would not receive a mansion, if he was not granted the t.i.tle of a lord.

He could not live in the court either, because he was an adult, and they were not celebrating the new year.

It was very complicated.

The King looked at Min Qing.

He thought for a while and said, “The Elder Prince hasn’t got a mansion… so Min Qing, you should take the Elder Prince back to your mansion for the moment and I will tell you what to do afterwards.”

The King also felt that it was trouble for the Min Mansion, which did not plan to help anyone.

He thought for a while, then he added, “You have done a great job, and I will grant you awards. But you should go and arrange the accommodation of the Elder Prince first.”

Min Qing was startled by the King’s arrangement.

Min Qing could tell that the Elder Prince was looking forward to the arrangement on the way home.

It was the most special treatment the Elder Prince had received from the King, at least for the first time during the past few years.

At least, Min Qing believed that there would be a t.i.tle of lord given to the Elder Prince, but it turned out to be a ridiculous arrangement to make the Elder Prince live at the Min Mansion!

And Min Qing could not even counter him. So he said in the end as a reminder. “King, the Elder Prince is just outside the Qianqing Palace, would you like to meet him?”

As this question was raised the King waved his hands. “No need, just bring him back to the Min Mansion and I will summon him, when I need him in the future.”

“King!” Min Qing would like to insist.

“Just leave,” The King said impatiently.

Min Qing sighed inwardly and headed outside Qianqing Palace.

Not far from this gate…

The Elder Prince was still standing there.

He looked nervous, but did not dare to look up.

Min Qing was walking very slowly at this moment, but he still came to the Elder Prince.

“Min Qing, what did father say?” The Elder Prince asked with antic.i.p.ation.

“The King is quite busy these days, so he is not meeting you today. Prince, just come with me to the Min Mansion, and the King will make other arrangements in the future,” Min Qing said.

The Elder Prince’s face stiffened.

Father was not meeting him and even asking him to live at the Min Mansion? What did he mean?

Didn’t his father ask the Min Family to bring him back to the capital, so why was he not meeting him? What was he thinking? Why was he back in the capital, if his father did not want to see him?

Min Qing had no other choice.

“Let’s just leave,” Min Qing said.

The Elder Prince felt a bit distressed as he walked out of the court with Min Qing.

At the gate…

The Crown Prince, Zhou Huailing, came right towards them and saw the Elder Prince.
