#mu qing: i could make you a friend discount! but i won't

[sweepingboy]

much to hua cheng's disdain he and mu qing have a transactional relationship. bastard's perfect memory and his previous occupation make him irreplaceable. he seems to know everything about his highness' royal outfits, being the one to tend them or even embroid.

that's how the ghost finds himself commissioning a set of robes. "you owe me a big one" mu qing says with a smile so smug hua cheng considers burning a temple of two (thousands) or ripping a head from his body and offering black water to infiltrate the heavens once again. the calamity would probably fuck it up, his personality doesn't exactly match mu qing's eating etiquette.

he grits his teeth and leaves after promising to fulfill whatever stupid wish the general has.

he's almost not irritated anymore when he receives a package with an exact copy of robes his prince wore the day they've met.

The ghost makes a mental note to torture mu qing with little hints when he brings them back to him to repair after his and prince's little game.
