After returning to the palace, Mu Bai and An An stayed in the palace peacefully. Except for the emperor's study, they only spent the rest of the time walking around the palace.

Mu Bai and Chang went to the emperor's study to stay there for an entire afternoon.

Ran Shaoliang sent letters to Mu Baiyu several times, wanting to see her, but Mu Baiyu refused.

The emperor never felt that there was anything wrong with Mu Bai staying here, but would often ask her for her opinion.

"Prime Minister Ran reported today that there is a flood in Kaifeng, and I would like to request the crown prince for this year's grain supply, saying that this will be beneficial to the stability of the court.

The emperor typed the memorial and asked Mu Bai and "Rongchang, what do you think?"

Mu Baiyu smiled and lay on the emperor's desk looking at him, "Father is still young. Isn't it a little early to establish a prince?"

"Just coax me all the time," the emperor patted the table with the memorial, "You get along a lot with your brothers and sisters. Who do you think is suitable to be the prince?"

Mu Baiyu said half-truthfully: "If we talk about the relationship, of course my brother Mu Ye will be the prince. He is good at literature and martial arts. His shortcoming is that he is too emotional. The third brother has a soft temperament and is more conservative than pioneering. The fourth brother is more than conservative. My brother has a low status and does not have a strong mother's family to support him. He is limited by his background and his vision is not broad enough. He may not be able to convince the public in the future. The other brothers are too young to see anything."

"But my father is still young. Let's see in a few years. Maybe one of the younger brothers is more suitable."

The emperor glanced at his daughter in surprise. He just asked casually, but he didn't expect that Mu Baiyu's words were really reasonable and similar to his own thoughts.

But the emperor still wanted to know more in-depth questions.

"Why is it wrong for Mu Ye to attach great importance to feelings?" The emperor deliberately made a serious face, "Don't I also attach great importance to feelings? Am I not a good emperor anymore?"

Mu Bai said: "Of course my father is a good emperor, the most wise emperor in history, but focusing on emotions means weakness. What if one day someone uses someone he values ​​​​to set up a trap to harm eldest brother?"

Mu Bai and his father and elder brother, who remembered their previous lives, fell into the Ran family's chess game.

"The emperor should have the ability to distinguish right from wrong. He can value emotions, but cannot be soft-hearted." The emperor looked at his daughter and sighed, "But people are not grass and trees. What you said is indeed a problem."

"My Rongchang has grown up."

Mu Baiyu lowered his head and blinked away the tears in his eyes, "A daughter will always be a child in front of her father."

"By the way, Father, my daughter doesn't like Prime Minister Ran."

Mu Baiyu acted like a little daughter and tested the emperor's intentions.

"What should I say?" After hearing what Mu Baiyu said just now, the emperor no longer just regarded her as an ignorant princess.

My daughter's psychology is like a mirror.

"My father is obviously still young, but Prime Minister Ran is urging him to establish a crown prince." Mu Baiyu's face wrinkled.

The emperor laughed.

"Ran Aiqing is also thinking about Daqi."

"By the way, Ran Niangniang's seventh brother is only one year old this year." Mu Baiyu asked, "I will go back to see Ran Niangniang and my seventh brother."

The emperor's face softened when he mentioned the seventh prince.

Concubine Ran was young and beautiful, and he liked her very much.

Mu Baiyu felt uncomfortable when he mentioned this matter.

She had never thought about such a thing before. She was used to having many concubines around her father. In the past, she had no other objections to her father doting on Concubine Ran.

However, her father was plotted in her previous life. In addition to taking advantage of the emperor's concern for her, Prime Minister Ran also took advantage of the emperor's love for Concubine Ran.

It seemed that she needed to meet Concubine Ran for a while.

Concubine Ran must have participated in the Ran family's plan in the end. She has not been found out by the emperor for so many years, which shows that she is quite dignified.

After leaving the Daming Palace, Mu Bai and he went to Concubine Ran's palace.

Concubine Ran was currently teasing the seventh prince.

Seeing Mu Bai and her smiling face, she said, "How come Princess Eleven has time to come to my palace?"

"Today I went to my father's study. My father mentioned my seventh brother and asked me to take on the responsibility of the princess and take good care of my younger brother and younger sister."

Mu Baiyu raised his chin and smiled.

"The other brothers and sisters are already young and don't need me to take care of them. Only the seventh brother is still young, so I thought of coming here to take a look."

Concubine Ran refused without mercy, "The princess is not very young, how can she understand this child's affairs?"

"Ms. Ran is only three years older than me. If you had not married my father, we would have called each other sisters. We are all doing this."

Concubine Ran disliked this princess very much. She was also a woman. Princess Rongchang could live so freely and unrestrainedly, but she had to marry an old man who was about the same age as her father. Even if the old man was the emperor, she felt that she was not worthy of it. happiness.

She was poked in a painful spot, and her smile suddenly became unbearable.

Although the eleventh princess had no brains, it was precisely this kind of unintentional words that made her most uncomfortable.

Concubine Ran thought of another thing, "There is indeed not much age difference between me and the princess. The princess is also sixteen this year, right? Have you found a suitable husband?"

"I still want to stay with my father for a few more years. Why am I so anxious to get married?"

Concubine Ran thought of the news her brother had sent her and said, "What the princess said is too childish. Sixteen is not young anymore. If she stays for another two years, she will be an old girl. Although it is said that the emperor's daughter has no worries about getting married, this Chang'an The young and handsome men in the city still have to marry."

"Princess, why don't you take a look at my younger brother? She is young, handsome and talented. Although she is not as noble as the princess, she is also someone who knows how to feel cold and hot, and can love others."

"And I heard that the princess was very close to my brother before. Did he do something inappropriate and make the princess angry?"

It seems that Concubine Ran has known about Ran Shaoliang and her affairs for a long time, and is working as a lobbyist here.

She originally thought that if Concubine Ran just obeyed her father and brother and had a trace of true love for her father, considering that she was the biological mother of the seventh brother, she would not deal with Concubine Ran.

But now she knew that Concubine Ran had no true feelings for her father.

Concubine Ran entered the palace not because the emperor needed to balance the forces of all parties, but because she entered the palace under the banner of admiring the emperor, and the emperor also gave her the favor and status she deserved.

"Ms. Ran is joking. You are my concubine. Strictly speaking, Mr. Ran is Rongchang's uncle. How can we get together?"

"If we really did become one, wouldn't it be a big joke?"

Concubine Ran's expression was stagnant. She did not expect that Princess Rongchang could refute her from such a tricky angle.
