After picking up a lucky girl, all the beasts line up to come to your door

Mu Baobao himself didn't care. Maybe he was used to it, or maybe he no longer lived in the village.

"Brother, I brought back a lot of things. The guard uncle helped me bring them back."

Mu Pingping's eyelids twitched. These animals really didn't know how to be careful. Every time the baby went into the mountains, they would give her a lot of things.

Not only are there various mountain products, but there are also various precious mountain products and medicinal materials.

"I gonna go see."

He shook his head helplessly and went to see the mountain products his sister brought back, hoping that the animals in the mountains would not be too aggressive this time.

When he saw the pile of mountain products, he sighed softly. Did the animals in the mountains give all their stocks and good things in the mountains to the baby?

Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng are placed there in piles, not to mention other mountain products.

I can only clean it up.

After this incident, no matter where Mu Baobao goes, as long as he leaves home, he will tell his elder brother.

A few days later, Sang Ye received a letter sent by the emperor.

"The prince is going to choose a concubine." He handed the letter to Zheng Xingguang.

Zheng Xingguang glanced at it casually and put it aside. "Not surprising. The prince should have chosen a concubine a long time ago, but he just delayed it before."

Mu Baobao curiously approached the letter and read it word by word.

She counted on her fingers to see if she knew more words, a smile on her little face.

"Is there a big problem with the prince choosing a concubine?" Mu Pingping asked.

Sang Ye said, "It can't be said to be a problem. It's just that there are too many conflicts of interest and situations involved."

"To put it simply, if a legitimate daughter of a family becomes the Crown Princess, it means that the family will become more prosperous."

"Besides, this time the Emperor wants to choose a Crown Princess, two concubines, and three concubines for the Crown Prince."

"None of the Crown Prince's previous concubines or wives gave birth to children. If one of them were the first to give birth to the Crown Prince's child, it would have a very different meaning."

"It will also affect the prosperity of a family and the overall situation."

Mu Pingping was stunned. "Choosing a wife is such a big problem?"

Shangguan Quan laughed and said, "It wouldn't be a problem for an ordinary family to choose a daughter-in-law, but it's the royal family choosing a daughter-in-law, and a future queen, so how could there not be a lot of problems?"

Mu Pingping immediately understood the key point when she heard this. "So, these families are competing for the future position of queen?"

Sang Ye nodded, then shook her head, "Not only the position of Queen, but also the position of the next Crown Prince."

"Logically speaking, the emperor's legitimate child is the most likely to become the crown prince. However, the eldest prince and other princes also have a great chance of becoming the crown prince."

Hua Yun took over the conversation and explained in more detail, "If a daughter of a certain family becomes the queen and the queen gives birth to a legitimate eldest son, there is an 80% chance that this child will become the crown prince."

"Unless, this child is a hopeless case, or commits an unforgivable mistake in the future."

"If he has neither of these two qualities, then he will be the future emperor. The future emperor is your nephew. What benefits will this bring to your family?"

Mu Pingping already understood everything, but he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. It turned out that there were so many things to do in Rongdu.

"Then, then Your Majesty..." His words stopped abruptly.

Sang Ye gestured to Zheng Xingguang to speak, saying that it would be most appropriate for Prince Zheng to say such words.

"The Emperor knows this, and he condones this kind of thing," Zheng Xingguang said. "As long as you don't do anything that harms the country and the people, the Emperor won't interfere too much."

"The royal family and the major families complement each other. Without the help and assistance of these major families, it would be impossible for the royal family to do many things."

"Besides, it's up to these big families to manage the people and the various places. It's impossible for the royal family to handle everything."

Mu Pingping sorted out his thoughts and finally understood the meaning of what he said.

He also understood one thing: even though the emperor had the greatest power and stood at the highest position, he could not do whatever he wanted. He also had to rely on many people.

"Then the competition for the Crown Princess will be fierce this time?"

Sang Ye said, "No."

"Every family knows the emperor's temperament. He cannot tolerate dirty things and bad tactics. At most, they will dress their daughters up better and teach them more tricks to coax men."

"If I can't win the position of Crown Princess, then I will fight for the position of Crown Prince and eldest son."

Mu Pingping was truly enlightened. "I never thought that daughters from wealthy families would be like this. I thought only daughters from ordinary families would act this way in order to climb up the social ladder."

Sang Ye smiled and said, "The prince is the second highest branch, so he can be considered climbing a high branch."

Mu Pingping thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. "We are choosing a concubine, so we don't have to go back, right?"

Sang Ye said no, "The Crown Prince's selection of a concubine has little to do with our families. At most, we are just watching the show."

Mu Pingping was confused again, "Why?"

Sang Ye said, "The status of our families is already there. If we produce another Crown Princess, the Emperor will inevitably be dissatisfied."

"For the Emperor, ministers can have power, but it must be within a certain range. If it exceeds this range, then it must be dealt with."

Mu Pingping suddenly said "Oh", so that's how it is.

"Brother, I know more words." Mu Baobao ran up to him and took credit with a smile.

"I just counted them. I learned three more words."

Mu Pingping praised, "Baby is awesome! He has learned three more words."

Baby Mu proudly twisted his little butt and said, "There are a few more words, I'm not sure."

"Brother, I will work hard to learn to read and learn as many words as possible."

Mu Pingping knew that his sister liked to read and learn to read, so he didn't try to persuade her. "Okay, baby, try hard."

"By the way, we have been staying here for a few days, it's time to go back." Sang Ye said.

"If it's any later, the weather will get colder and it will be difficult for us to travel on the road."

It's okay to sleep outside when it's hot, but it's painful to sleep outside when it's cold.

Hua Yun calculated, "It's already the end of August."

"If we hurry, we can get back to Rongdu in time for the New Year. If we are slow, we won't be back until after the New Year."

Mu Pingping and the others had no objection.

Mu Baobao was a little reluctant, "Are you leaving so soon?"

Sang Ye smiled gently, "Baby, we have to go back for the New Year."

"Even if the disaster outside eases, this journey won't be easy."

Mubaobao didn't understand, "Why?"

Sang Ye said, "The disaster victims who returned to their hometowns, and some who became bandits, are all destabilizing factors."

"We must start early so we don't have to worry about the weather getting colder."

Mu Baobao was not a naughty child. Even though she was reluctant to leave the village, she agreed and said, "Okay."

I just don’t know how long it will take to come back after this time.

She loves the village very much.
