Chapter 256

twenty one

The Fifth Prince seldom ate breakfast so early. He thought that since Cheng Zhao was the emperor, the food here would be of higher quality and more delicious. But it turned out that the taste was almost the same as his.

"This tastes like it was made by the imperial chef who used to deliver meals to me, or are all the chefs in the imperial kitchen trained so that the meals they make are all equally delicious?" the fifth prince asked casually.

"The same person cooked our meals. Later, a small kitchen was arranged for you. We didn't have the same imperial chef." Cheng Zhao saw that he was eating happily and asked him, "You didn't like the food in the small kitchen. Why didn't you tell me? I asked someone to restore it to its original state for you."

"No," the fifth prince waved his hand hurriedly, "these two people have their own specialties, and I like to eat both. Can you move the small kitchen over here in the future? I can just order whoever's food I want to eat to cook, okay?"

Seeing the Fifth Prince eating with a satisfied look on his face, Cheng Zhao nodded and said, "Okay, everything will be done according to your wishes. We are already married, and this palace is also your home. You are the master here, and you can do whatever you want."

When the Fifth Prince heard him say the word "home" again, it felt a little unreal. He was born in the imperial palace. His father was the emperor and his mother was a concubine. He only had good memories before the age of six. After the age of six, he seemed to have no home. Now that Cheng Zhao said that the imperial palace was his home and he was the master here, he always felt that this sentence was not true.

"Then can I sleep in from now on?" the fifth prince asked him, "Can I use anything in the room as I please?"

"Except for working hours, you can sleep whenever you want and use the things in the room as you like." Cheng Zhao felt that the Fifth Prince was too polite to him. There was no longer the intimacy they had when they were children. It was as strange as when he first came back and met the Fourth Prince.

But he did not treat the Fifth Prince like the Fourth Prince, looking down on him. He had been doing his best to take care of the Fifth Prince's daily life, helping him with his studies and career, and urging him to make progress. However, he always felt that the relationship between the two was getting farther and farther.

"I'm full," the fifth prince stood up and stretched, "I'm going back to sleep."

"No." Cheng Zhao asked him to stay first.

"What's wrong? Haven't you finished eating?" The fifth prince pursed his lips. "You just told me that I can sleep as long as I want. Why do you regret it so soon?"

"Go to sleep later." Cheng Zhao said, looking at the Fifth Prince's bulging belly again. "Besides, you ate so much. It's not good for your health to lie down and sleep right away."

The Fifth Prince was stared at his belly, and thinking of the way Cheng Zhao kissed his belly after the act, he immediately covered his belly, "How bad can it be? I only know that if I don't sleep now, I'll be exhausted to death..."

The Fifth Prince's voice suddenly became softer when he said this. "You either exercise or eat healthily every day. You take care of your health in this way. When you kept me up so late last night, why didn't you think that staying up late would also affect your health?"

The more he spoke, the more aggrieved he felt. In the past, he felt that Cheng Zhao followed the procedures every day and could not deviate even a single step. Last night, he clearly said that they would go through the marriage procedures, and it would have been fine to go through them once. However, they did it three times, and he was so tired that he fell asleep... Was it to have a baby? The more times, the greater the probability?

Even if Cheng Zhao doesn't like the girl in the class, it doesn't mean that Cheng Zhao likes him. Everything Cheng Zhao did for him was for the sake of having a purified child. After he gets pregnant, Cheng Zhao won't touch him again...

So after the child is born, will Cheng Zhao never see him again? When he is no longer useful, he will not give the child to him.

Just like before, after his mother was rejected by the emperor, he was sent to the queen, and after the queen was rejected by the emperor, he was sent to the temple.

The more he thought about it, the more upset he felt. It was obviously a very far-off thing, but he habitually thought about it in the far-off direction.

Cheng Zhao just wanted him to digest the food before going to sleep, but he saw that the Fifth Prince looked like he was about to cry, as if he had been bullied by him.

However, after the Fifth Prince was severely bullied by him last night, he also cried for a long time. But at that time, he cried with tears in his eyes, which was very tempting and made people want to cry harder.

But the aggrieved look now was completely different from last night, there was some sadness in the aggrieved look.

"After the child is born, can you let me raise him?" If the Fifth Prince did not ask clearly, he felt that he would not be able to sleep for a long time. Regardless of whether Cheng Zhaotong agreed or not, he wanted to know his ending.

In his heart, he still hoped that Cheng Zhao would agree to keep the child with him, otherwise he would be too pitiful. Not only would he have to be a tool for giving birth to a child, but he wouldn't even be able to grow up with the child after it was born. This was too unfair to him.

"No." After Cheng Zhao said this, he saw the Fifth Prince burst into tears.

"Why? You're going to take my child away after I give birth. Are you still a human being? Who will raise my child after you take her away? Are you going to start a harem after I give birth?" The fifth prince felt more and more uncomfortable. "I thought you would be like the late emperor and only marry one husband in your life. I didn't expect that you would not be a human being after you start a harem?"

Cheng Zhao didn't expect that his words would make him burst into tears. "You have learned so much knowledge, and now you are a technical backbone of your unit. After giving birth to the child, do you want to stop working and stay at home to take care of the child?"

When the Fifth Prince heard this, he stopped crying and looked up at him, "What do you mean by that? Aren't you going to wait until I give birth and then take my child away, and never let me see the child again?"

"I just don't want you to stay at home to take care of the child full-time. You can still take care of the child after get off work and on weekends. As for the harem, it will not be opened. According to the current law, only two people can get married, and concubines are not allowed. I am the emperor, and I cannot take the lead in breaking this law. If I break this rule, it will set a bad example." Cheng Zhao saw that he had stopped crying and couldn't help sighing, "Our relationship is so strained, it can't be all because of your rich imagination, right?"

The fifth prince: “???”

When the Fifth Prince heard him say this, he knew he had misunderstood him. He scratched Lian awkwardly and whispered, "No way."

After he said that, he trotted back to the bedroom and curled up under the quilt, as if he wouldn't be embarrassed if he ran away.

Although he loved to think about many things, he had a bad memory and fell asleep quickly.

He slept until he woke up naturally. When he woke up, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. He was starving. Cheng Zhao didn't wake him up for lunch, which made him unhappy. He was very irritable when he was hungry, and he was even angrier when he got up.

Every morning when he was woken up by the alarm clock, he wanted to smash it, but when he remembered that it was a gift from Cheng Zhao, he held back. However, after getting up in the morning, he would stare at the alarm clock in anger for more than half an hour.

Now he slept until he woke up naturally, and when he woke up he didn't need to be called, as palace servants would immediately bring him food. He felt very happy after eating his fill.

He asked the palace attendant, "Where did your Majesty go?"

He asked this not because he really wanted to find Cheng Zhao, but because he wanted to get his location. If he went out, he would continue to stay in bed for a while. This bed was so comfortable and it was more than two meters wide. Although it was spacious enough for two people to lie on it, he would still feel uncomfortable if there was one more person on the bed. He could lie on the bed with his arms and legs spread out and relax his hands and feet.

When he heard the palace servants say that Cheng Zhao went to the study, he fell into the bed with confidence. He even threw himself under the quilt and swam on the soft quilt like he was swimming on his back. He was feeling happy, but when he opened his eyes, he saw Cheng Zhao standing by the window staring at him, as if he had seen something strange.

The Fifth Prince, as if he was seen without clothes, quickly got under the quilt. "You, you, you, aren't you working in the study? Why are you back so early?"

On weekdays, if Cheng Zhao worked, he would work for several hours and no one could disturb him. Only when he heard that Cheng Zhao had just left would he feel at ease and enjoy himself in bed.

"Why would I work while on honeymoon leave? I'm just relaxing," said Cheng Zhao.

"Who would go to the study to relax?" The fifth prince pulled the quilt open a little and looked at Cheng Zhao through the gap, "You won't read that kind of storybook again, will you?"

"What storybook? It seems you have read a lot." Cheng Zhao leaned over to look at him, his eyes seemed to be able to see through things.

The fifth prince quickly controlled himself and stopped himself from recalling what storybook he had read. "You are not reading a storybook, then what book are you reading?"

Cheng Zhao mentioned a few names, and the Fifth Prince knew immediately that they were the kind of books that would make him fall asleep after reading for a few minutes. "Is reading this kind of book considered relaxing?"

"There are other ways to relax. Do you want to join me?" Cheng Zhao asked him.

After hearing what he said, the Fifth Prince immediately had the wrong idea. He turned his head and looked out the window. It was still daylight. "It's still daylight. This is not good."

"It's okay, there are blackout curtains over there." Cheng Zhao said.

"Not in the room anymore?" The fifth prince's eyes widened in surprise. "You specially arranged a place?"

Cheng Zhao nodded, "Well, do you want to go? It's very interesting, you should like it."

The Fifth Prince recalled what happened last night. It was indeed very interesting. However, if he did this for two consecutive days, would he...

When he was struggling, he heard Cheng Zhao say to him: "If you don't want to go today, forget it."

"..." The Fifth Prince thought that Cheng Zhao was too mean. He knew that he was shy, but still forced him to say it out. This was too shameful.

But Cheng Zhao is really something. He actually set up a room specifically for that kind of thing. It shows that Cheng Zhao thinks about those things a lot in his daily life.

He glanced at Cheng Zhao, who seemed like a very cold person, but he didn't expect that he had emotions.

Cheng Zhao saw his dilemma and thought he wanted to go but was too embarrassed to say it, so he raised his hand and picked him up, "I'll take you there, it's not far from here."

The fifth prince shyly buried his face in his arms, feeling nervous and unsure if he could withstand such stimulation.

As a result, when he opened his eyes, he found that Cheng Zhao had placed him on a seat with a large screen opposite him. He was confused, "What is this for?"

"Let's go to the movies." Cheng Zhao even asked someone to bring him some popcorn. "You usually like to read those romance books, so I picked out an idol drama for you to watch."

The fifth prince was full of questions. What is a movie? What is an idol drama?
