Chapter 503: The Insurmountable Class
"Big brother, what do you mean only the prince is left?" Mu Baobao piled the grass aside and continued to pull weeds.
There is a lot of grass on this mountain, which is good enough for cows to eat.
Sang Ye looked at her trying hard and smiled gently, "I'm saying that the emperor has dealt with Prince Chang, and the only son he has left is the crown prince."
It was rare for Hua Yun not to respond.
He didn't know what he was thinking, staring blankly at the sunlight between the leaves.
Shangguan Quan glanced at him and could guess what he was thinking. "It would be good if the prince could just behave himself."
"If the Crown Prince is restless or does something he shouldn't do, the Emperor will depose him and appoint a new Crown Prince."
The second brother was also miserable. One of his few good friends became the prince, and they could no longer be friends.
Unfortunately, I have to worry about my friend, worried that he will do something wrong, and worried that he will be deposed by the emperor.
Mu Baobao doesn't care about these things. She is more concerned about whether Niu Niu can eat enough.
"Little brother, please come over here and help weed the cows. I have a lot of fresh grass here."
"I'm coming." Zheng Xingguang ran over happily and squatted beside her to pull weeds together.
Mu Pingping sat there listening to Sang Ye and the others talk and learning from them.
Sang Ye hummed, "It seems that the prince has no rivals and will definitely inherit the throne."
"In fact, the royal family is keeping a close eye on the prince."
"Anyone with a little bit of intelligence can see that the emperor doesn't necessarily want to choose an heir from among his own sons. He prefers to choose a qualified heir."
"This sends a signal to the royal family, a signal that they have a chance to inherit the throne."
Shangguan Quan said, "The methods used by the royal family are much more ruthless and clever than those of the deposed Prince Ding."
"After all, the fact that they have survived the Emperor's hands for so long and have lived comfortably is enough to show their abilities."
Sang Ye said, "The root of the problem still lies with the prince."
"As long as the Crown Prince doesn't do anything he shouldn't do and doesn't lose his mind, his position will be secure and the throne will definitely be his in the future."
If the prince makes a mistake or does something he shouldn't do, then he will be deposed.
"No more talking." Hua Yun suddenly said, "Why should we care so much about the royal family's affairs? We might as well think about where to go next."
Sang Ye and Shangguan Quan looked at each other and didn't talk about this topic anymore.
"Aren't we going back to Xingzi Village?" Mu Baobao looked at Hua Yun doubtfully, "Second Brother, will you go back to Xingzi Village with us?"
Hua Yun forced a smile, "Yeah, I forgot about it."
I hope the prince will not be confused and do things that he shouldn’t do.
Mu Baobao suddenly walked up to him and patted his head gently with his little hand, "Second Brother, there's no need to smile if you're not happy."
Hua Yun's heart warmed up, and he tapped Mu Baobao's forehead lightly, "Second Brother is not unhappy, he is just thinking about something."
Mu Baobao looked as if he was telling her you were lying. "Second Brother, lying is not good."
Hua Yun's expression froze, "Okay."
"Baby, let's go play over there." Mu Pingping took his sister away.
Shangguan Quan patted Hua Yun on the shoulder but did not try to persuade him.
In this kind of situation, no matter how outsiders try to persuade you, it's useless.
Hua Yun curled the corner of her lips, simply lay on the ground and looked at the sky.
"Class..."
Sang Ye and Shangguan understood everything. To them, class was not a big issue, as it was related to their background.
But for a royal merchant like Hua Yun, background is a major flaw.
The imperial merchants who seemed so glorious to outsiders were, after all, merchants, and were inferior to the powerful and prestigious families.
When the Crown Prince was an unfavored prince, there was nothing wrong with his relationship with Hua Yun, but now she is the crown prince.
Apart from the emperor, he is the most honorable person in the entire Rong Dynasty.
"Young Master." Several guards came back carrying various mountain products and a pile of animal carcasses.
"We were just patrolling the area and noticed that many animals had dropped these goodies and run away."
"There are precious medicinal herbs, freshly dead animals, wild fruits and other things."
Sang Ye was puzzled, "Huh?"
"Again?"
There was once a time when a large group of animals in the wild brought all kinds of things, including food and daily necessities, all from the mountains.
He didn't think much about it at the time, but now it happened again, he couldn't help but think about it.
One of the guards said, "Yes."
"Some of them were ferocious beasts. They had no intention of coming any closer. They all stayed far away, dropped their things, and left."
"I find this strange. I've lived for decades and this is the first time... no, this is the second time I've seen something like this."
"Normally, animals in the mountains will run away when they see people, so they won't give anything to people."
Sang Ye pondered for a moment and said, "Since it's harmless, just pack up your things and be a little careful."
Perhaps one of them was liked by the animals, which is why this happened.
It’s better not to explore such secrets.
The guard took the order and took these things away to deal with them.
Shangguan Quan followed him. He had to dry the medicinal herbs, otherwise they would lose their medicinal properties.
As for dealing with animals, it is not his turn.
"Young Master Shangguan has grown a lot." Sang Ye said casually.
Zheng Xingguang snorted, "If he doesn't grow up, the baby won't recognize him as his senior brother."
Sang Ye, "...what happened to Prince Zheng?"
Zheng Xingguang glanced at Hua Yun and said disdainfully, "I just can't stand his half-hearted look, but it's not a big deal."
Sang Ye could understand, but that was all she could do. "Prince Zheng, for someone with your background, nothing is a big deal."
"If you really encounter any trouble, with the emperor's favor towards you, it can be easily resolved."
"But, class is not so easy to cross."
He raised his chin towards Mu Baobao and Mu Pingping and lowered his voice, "Take Baobao and Mu Pingping for example."
"If the Mu family hadn't met you, Prince Zheng, they would most likely have stayed in Xingzi Village their entire lives, like countless other families, living their lives facing the earth and working hard."
For the powerful and wealthy, class is never an issue; the problem is how to make the family and themselves more glorious.
But for ordinary people and even businessmen, the class gap is so difficult to cross.
Zheng Xingguang still couldn't quite understand.
Maybe it was just as Sang Ye said, he was born with everything that countless people could hardly obtain, so he didn't have to put any effort into doing anything.
With just one word, he can get what he wants.
Even for the position of crown prince, he only needed one word.
"What should we do with him? We can't let him continue like this. It will affect the baby's mood."
Sang Ye was also thinking about this question, "Does Prince Zheng have any good suggestions?"
