Chapter 409 Tell them bit by bit
Mu Niuniu and the other children nodded in agreement.
They were no longer children in the village. During their time in the Imperial College, they learned a lot, saw a lot, and were exposed to a lot.
In the Imperial College, they were deeply aware of one thing: class and power.
"Prince Zheng, I heard that the Emperor dotes on the Crown Prince very much. This time the Crown Prince has apologized sincerely, and I believe the Emperor will forgive him."
"The Crown Prince is the heir apparent. If something goes wrong, the court officials will probably cause a commotion."
Zheng Xingguang picked up the water cup and took a sip before slowly saying, "Things are not what you think."
"I'll explain it to you slowly, and you'll understand."
Mu Pingping and the other children pricked up their ears to listen, but Mu Baobao was still concentrating on eating.
Zheng Xingguang explained carefully, "In fact, when the emperor uncle appointed a crown prince, it wasn't because he liked him very much."
Mu Pingping and the other children looked at each other, none of them understood.
"Ah? Isn't it said that the crown prince is chosen by choosing the one who is most liked?"
"The Emperor doesn't like the Crown Prince, so why did he make him the Crown Prince?"
Zheng Xingguang said, "According to the rules of our ancestors, the crown prince must be either the eldest son or the legitimate heir."
"The Crown Prince is the fourth among the princes. He is neither the eldest nor the heir."
"The Emperor will make him the Crown Prince. First, he and his mother are not smart enough and can be controlled by the Emperor."
"Secondly, the court officials will no longer clamor for the appointment of a crown prince, nor will they argue endlessly over the appointment of a crown prince."
"Third, by using a prince as a target, the emperor can solve many problems."
"For example, seeing through the true intentions of certain court officials and making all the princes turn their spearheads against the crown prince."
After hearing this, Mu Pingping and the others found it unbelievable.
"Does the emperor hate the prince?" asked Mu Niuniu.
Zheng Xingguang shook his head. "It's not really annoying, it's just a normal attitude."
"You must remember that family ties in the royal family are very weak, not as strong as those in ordinary families."
"Even in the royal family, there must be a ruler and a subject before there is a father and son."
The emperor's uncle's favor for him was more based on the fact that his family was obedient and sensible and could share the emperor's worries.
If his family had been even slightly ignorant, he would not have had his current status and royal favor.
Mu Pingping has the deepest understanding.
He touched his cold neck and felt that Rongdu was too dangerous. It would be better to stay in the village, where it would not be so dangerous.
Muniuniu and the other children did not have such a deep understanding.
"The royal family is a bit too cold-blooded. They are all their own children. Can't they treat them equally?"
"I suddenly felt that our family is really good. Grandpa and grandma are not partial and are good to every child."
Zheng Xingguang was calm, "You think so."
"There are several hundred taels of silver in the family, and every child is eyeing it covetously, but this silver can only be given to one child."
"How to do?"
He added, "There is only one dragon throne."
Mu Pingping understood a little better. "No wonder those princes wanted to win over Prince Zheng. So that's how it is."
Zheng Xingguang said, "That's about it."
"Once you have more exposure, you will understand without anyone explaining anything."
"What do you know?" The full-fledged wooden baby raised his little head and looked at him, "Little brother, what are you talking about?"
Mu Pingping wiped her sister's greasy mouth with a wet handkerchief and said, "They're talking about how some princes are trying to take advantage of Prince Zheng."
"Baby, if the prince comes to see you in the future, you must stay away from them and don't believe what they say, understand?"
It was obvious that those princes wanted to get closer to the baby and use her to achieve their own goals.
Mu Baobao obediently agreed, "Don't worry, big brother. I won't be fooled by those bad guys. I will stay away from them."
Mu Pingping was still a little worried.
It's not that he was worried about the baby, but he was worried that those princes would use despicable means.
He heard from his classmates at the Imperial College that the big families had many ways of harming people, and it was impossible to guard against them.
No matter how smart the baby is, he is just a child and can't guard against these things.
"Baby, from today on, don't go out alone. Take a few more people with you, okay?"
Mu Baobao agreed again, "Brother, don't worry so much, everything will be fine."
How could Mu Pingping not be worried? If those princes resorted to despicable means, the baby would be in trouble.
"Brother Mu, don't worry too much," Zheng Xingguang reassured him, "Uncle Emperor is aware of what happened today and is handling it."
"Presumably, in the coming period, the princes will not dare to act rashly."
Mu Pingping felt a little relieved when he heard this. Fortunately, the emperor took action.
"Thank you, Prince Zheng, for your help."
Zheng Xingguang smiled and waved his hand. "Actually, you guys are also implicated by me. It's only right that I resolve this matter."
"If I hadn't been on good terms with you, neither the prince nor anyone else would have targeted you."
Mu Niuniu hooked his shoulder and said disapprovingly, "Prince Zheng, you can't say that."
"You can't be blamed for this. You didn't want this to happen. It's just that those people were too despicable."
Mu Baobao nodded, "Little brother, my second brother is right. It's those people's fault, not yours."
She clenched her fists, "Those people are bad."
Zheng Xingguang touched her head and said, "Yes, those people are bad and always trying to plot against us."
Mu Baobao hummed heavily, "Those people are so evil!"
"Sir." A servant came in with a letter. "This is a letter sent by Doctor Deng. It's for the young masters and young ladies of the Mu family."
"A letter from the master." Mu Baobao's attention was diverted for a second, and he swung his short legs.
"I want to see, I want to see!"
Zheng Xingguang took the letter and handed it to her, "Okay, show it to the baby."
Mu Baobao first thanked him, then slowly opened the letter and said, "Brother, please read it."
“I don’t recognize most of the words on it.”
Mu Pingping glanced through the letter before saying to his sister, "The letter says that Dr. Deng has already prepared the special barbecue ingredients we asked him to prepare, and asked us to find a time to pick them up."
Before, the baby asked Dr. Deng for help in making barbecue ingredients prepared with medicine, and they also agreed on the profit sharing, so Dr. Deng agreed to help.
Mu Baobao cheered, "Brother, when we go back, we'll go get it from Master."
"This way, our shop will be able to open for business soon."
As soon as this matter was mentioned, both Mu Pingping and Muniu and the others became excited.
"Hey, hey, hey, tell me, if we open the door for business, will the business be good?"
"We should think about how to renovate the shop. Even though we've decided what food to sell, the shop hasn't been renovated yet."
