Qin Mu didn't refuse and immediately wolfed down the food.
After a long day, he was really hungry.
After two big bowls of noodles, Qin Mu's stomach finally felt a little full, and he started to eat slowly.
"Grandpa Huang, you have to save some food. Otherwise, you won't be able to eat the banquet in the palace later!”
Zhu Yuanzhang curled his lips in disdain.
"There's still food in the palace?”
"Let me tell you, whenever there is a major banquet in the palace, the food made is simply inedible.”
"It's already good enough that it can be cooked. As for the taste, it can't even compare to the noodles in your pot!”
Qin Mu had a look of disbelief when he heard that.
"Grandpa Huang lied to me again!"
"That's a banquet in the palace. It's much better than mine!”
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled.
"It's indeed a little stronger, but that's all on the surface. It looks better than your noodles. Even if it's just a radish, they can carve flowers out of it. Hahaha!”
"That's true, hehe…"
Zhu Yuanzhang barely finished half a bowl, but he couldn't eat anymore. He looked at the remaining noodles in the bowl and was worried.
"Sigh!"
"As I get older, my appetite has become smaller.”
"If it was a few years ago, I would have eaten three bowls of such delicious noodles in one meal!”
Qin Mu looked at Old Man Huang and then at the bowl.
"Grandpa Huang, you really can't eat anymore?”
"Have some more?"
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head.
"I really can't eat anymore. It's just a pity that the remaining noodles are all food…"
Qin Mu stretched out his hand to take the remaining half bowl of noodles and directly put it in his own bowl. He then started to eat with a big mouth.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Qin Mu in a daze. He knew the kid's ability to earn money. Just by selling salted vegetables, he could earn fifty to sixty thousand taels of silver a year!
Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised that such a wealthy child did not despise an old man.
Qin Mu saw that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't move for a long time, so he raised his head to take a look. He saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was staring straight at him, and he couldn't help but explain awkwardly.
Grandpa Huang, it's shameful to waste food…"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Qin Mu say such simple words, he was so touched that tears flickered at the corners of his eyes.
"Eldest Sun's lesson is right. It's shameful to waste food!”
"Grandpa humbly accepts Eldest Sun's criticism!”
Qin Mu chuckled at Zhu Yuanzhang and continued eating his noodles.
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Qin Mu wolfing down the food, he felt that this was the most beautiful scene in the world.
When Qin Mu was almost done eating, Zhu Yuanzhang asked apologetically.
"Eldest Sun!"
"You performed so well in the military exercise today, but the emperor didn't invite you to the banquet.”
After Qin Mu ate four big bowls, he wiped his mouth in satisfaction.
"The emperor didn't call me, so I definitely wouldn't be happy!”
"However, it's nothing. Who asked us to be small officials, right…"
Zhu Yuanzhang caressed Qin Mu's head lovingly.
"Eldest Sun, to tell you the truth, the Emperor really wanted you to attend the palace banquet. It was me who suggested to the Emperor to exclude you…"
"Eldest Sun, will you hate me for doing this?”
Qin Mu shook his head.
"Of course not!"
"Although I don't know why grandfather is doing this, I know that grandfather must be doing this for my own good!”
Zhu Yuanzhang pinched Qin Mu's face excitedly.
"Good grandson!"
"Grandpa didn't dote on you for nothing!"
"Grandpa is indeed thinking about you. He's afraid that you'll be envied and envied!”
"Of course, Grandpa still has a little selfishness, so it's not convenient for me to tell you.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's selfishness was that he didn't want to expose himself or Qin Mu.
He was a little greedy for his current state.
Casually, easy-going, casual, without any restrictions of the palace rules…
If Qin Mu's identity as the eldest grandson was made public, he would have to be officially conferred a title and build a mansion.
In that case, he would no longer be able to experience the warmth of this moment, leaving only the formality of the palace.
Erhu quietly came to Zhu Yuanzhang's side and gave him a look.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and said goodbye.
"Eldest Sun, grandfather has to go to the palace to eat!”
"Don't be in a hurry to leave. In a while, the emperor might give you a reward.”
"Alright!"
Qin Mu replied and took out a palm-sized brocade box from his sleeve.
"Grandpa Huang!"
"Take this and hand it over to the emperor after entering the palace.”
"Don't say that I gave it to you. Just say that you gave it to the emperor and let the emperor remember your favor. This will be useful to you in the future.”
Zhu Yuanzhang took the brocade box with a surprised expression.
"Eldest Sun, what is this thing that can make the Emperor remember our love?”
"Grandpa Huang, this is the formula for the improved gunpowder of our Xuanwu Guards, as well as the blueprint for the improved handgun.”
"This is Big Ming's secret, a technology that no other country in the world has mastered!”
"As long as we use this technology, we can increase the combat strength of our Great Ming Army by a large margin!”
"Especially since there's a rifling process inside. This process is the best way to improve the accuracy of the handgun.”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Qin Mu's words, he couldn't help but reveal a solemn expression.
He carefully put the brocade box away and then solemnly cupped his hands to Qin Mu.
"Eldest Sun!"
"Grandpa thanks you on behalf of Big Ming!"
When Qin Mu saw Old Yellow suddenly become serious, he felt a little embarrassed.
"Grandpa Huang, what are you doing!"
"Didn't I just say that this thing is yours now? You can offer it to the emperor.”
"Don't mention me in front of the emperor. Just say that these things are your own thoughts and have nothing to do with others!”
"As long as you have this merit, no matter how the situation in the court changes in the future, the Emperor will not kill you!”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was stunned on the spot.
"Eldest Sun!"
"You gave me such a precious thing just to save my life in front of the emperor?”
Qin Mu nodded.
"Of course!"
"Grandpa Huang, you don't know how dangerous the situation in the Imperial Court will be in the future!”
"The Emperor is old, and he must support the Imperial Grandson to ascend the throne.”
"When the time comes, the emperor will definitely make an example of this old minister.”
"Someone like you who has been by the emperor's side for many years and knows a lot of the emperor's secrets is very likely to be the target of elimination!”
"Grandson gave you this credit in the hope that I can save your life when the time comes!”
"Of course, it would be best if Grandpa Huang could retire now and retire to the Xuanwu Guard.”
"Not only can we avoid the purge in the future, but we can also enjoy our old age. It can be said to be killing two birds with one stone!”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard these words, he was touched and shocked.
This child was so young, how could he see through people's hearts so clearly!
Didn't I really think so before?
Before I die, I want to drag a few old fellows underground and leave a clean Great Ming Dynasty for the imperial grandson!
However, no one mentioned this, but this child was so thorough!
