Chapter 227
227
The fifth prince also wanted to run with the group of children, but as soon as he stood up, Cheng Zhao grabbed the back of his collar and dragged him away.
Although he and Cheng Zhao are the same age, he is very weak and frail compared to Cheng Zhao. When Cheng Zhao picks him up, he feels like a little wild cat.
"You said I climbed the wall to look for you in the middle of the night? And brought you your favorite plum cake? And you said I personally fed you medicine when you were sick? And I held you in my arms and coaxed you softly?" Cheng Zhao leaned in to see his expression and asked him, "Why don't I remember doing this?"
He didn't understand why the Fifth Prince did this, and wanted to ask someone for clarification, but he ended up making the Fifth Prince cry.
The fifth prince vented all his resentment towards him. "When you left, you said you would come soon, and you said you would protect us when you grow up. But where were you when I was sick and couldn't even take a sip of medicine? You didn't come to save me when I was starving every day. Can't I just imagine myself?"
Cheng Zhao was stunned when he saw him crying pitifully. He remembered that the Fifth Prince was frail and sickly when he was a child. He couldn't even walk properly and often took sick leave to rest in bed. At that time, he told the Fifth Prince that he would protect him when he grew up.
However, he had been away for many years, and because of the Fourth Prince's attitude and the fact that the Emperor placed the Fifth Prince in the temple, they were unable to meet and their relationship became estranged, so he never asked about the Fifth Prince again.
I didn’t expect that the fifth prince has been living such a life?
While he was stunned, the fifth prince broke free from him and ran away.
After returning home at night, the Fifth Prince regretted his decision. Now he was living under someone else's roof and he was no longer a prince. Instead, Cheng Zhao became the crown prince. He blamed him so much and gossiped about him behind his back. Did he hate him to death?
Will people stop giving him food and stopping him from going to school? Or go to school and expose him to your classmates, and let them continue to bully him?
He was so scared that he didn't dare to leave the house. He even wanted to pretend to be sick and not go to class the next morning, but Cheng Zhao came to find him.
When Cheng Zhao opened the door, he was wolfing down a big bowl of rice. He had originally planned to lie down in the quilt and pretend to be sick after finishing the meal, but he was caught red-handed. The situation was very embarrassing.
"It's early in the morning, and I have a good appetite." Cheng Zhao sat opposite him. The maid who took care of the fifth prince came over and asked him if he wanted to eat with her. Cheng Zhao waved his hand and said, "I've already eaten."
"You came to my room without knocking and just walked in. How can that be reasonable? I am a man. If you do this, my reputation will be damaged. What if I can't get married?" The fifth prince was obviously very scared, but he pretended to be furious to protect himself.
"Hasn't your reputation been ruined by you a long time ago?" Cheng Zhao reminded him, "You told your classmates yesterday that I climbed over the wall into your room in the middle of the night, but I could enter at night but not in the morning?"
The Fifth Prince's face turned red with anger. He hadn't seen Cheng Zhao for many years and didn't expect him to become like this. He was so depressed that he couldn't say anything to refute.
Cheng Zhao watched him put down the bowl and said, "Have you finished eating? Come with me to school after you finish eating."
Cheng Zhao rides a bicycle to school every day. The fifth prince doesn't know how to ride a bicycle yet. He looks at the bicycle parked at the door and says, "I'll go by myself."
Cheng Zhao asked him to sit on the back seat, "You should also hurry up and learn how to ride a bicycle."
The fifth prince asked him worriedly, "Will you tell your classmates about what happened yesterday?"
"What?" Cheng Zhao asked him.
"That's right, the thing about climbing the wall in the middle of the night is fake..." The fifth prince asked worriedly, "If you want to tell me, I won't go to school."
"I'll tell you if you don't go to school." Cheng Zhao told him to get in the car quickly, otherwise he would be late.
When the Fifth Prince heard this, he hurriedly got on the carriage. Cheng Zhao rode it twice and felt that it was extremely heavy. “You don’t look heavy. Do you look like you haven’t had enough food for years?”
Cheng Zhao picked up the Fifth Prince's huge schoolbag suspiciously and found that it was full of snacks and even a box of lunch. "The cafeteria provides lunch at noon, why did you bring so many things?"
"I left it at home. What if it gets lost?" The fifth prince took back his bag. "If you think it's heavy, I'll go by myself."
Cheng Zhao asked someone to bring a carriage over. Today they would ride in the carriage and he would teach the fifth prince to ride a bicycle next day.
Today the two of them went to school together, and Cheng Zhao even asked the Fifth Prince to sit next to him from now on. When other classmates saw this, they realized that what the Fifth Prince said was true, and they no longer dared to bully him. Some families who originally wanted to marry their daughters and sons to Cheng Zhao also gave up the idea.
Others speculated that Cheng Yeran wanted the throne to return to the original royal bloodline. The brother and the princess had less evil spirits in them and had been purified. If they gave birth to children with the Son of God, the evil spirits in the children would be completely purified, and the throne would return to the original royal bloodline again.
Many ministers said that Cheng Yeran really had no intention of coveting the throne, and everything he did was for the good of the court and the people.
After Cheng Yeran became emperor, he distributed a batch of seeds. Among them were corn seeds that did not exist in this world, as well as many grain, fruit and vegetable seeds that had been improved by scientists in the future world. After the people planted these crops, the yields of all crops increased, vegetables grew bigger, fruits became sweeter, and grain production increased by ten or twenty times compared to before, and every family had a good harvest.
We won’t be afraid of natural disasters in the future because we will always have more food than can be eaten up at home.
Shen Yuntang's village also had a good harvest this year. Many villagers talked about Shen Yuntang in their spare time, with a sour tone in their voices. "Before, they said that she married a lazy man and her life was over. Who knew that she would become the queen now."
"Her husband is also amazing. He worked his way up to become the prime minister. I thought that was the end of his career, but now he is the emperor and a god."
"He's already the emperor, but he doesn't have any concubines in the harem, and he made this country boy the queen. He's really loyal and righteous, and he even asked the whole world to follow him and change to monogamy. The boy from the Shen family is really lucky to have chosen a good man."
…
In the three years since Cheng Yeran came to power, he has changed the world into a different place.
During the Spring Festival this year, every household has used electric lights, and Cheng Yeran's palace has also had electricity. However, there is no internet yet, and the circuit is not that stable, so there are frequent power outages, and the generator has to be replaced when there is a power outage. However, it has only been three years since the electricity was restored, and he believes that this problem will be solved within a few years.
Although there was no internet, he bought some classic New Year Gala CDs from the Internet and played them back. "These are all antiques."
Cheng Yeran never used any tools to play CDs when he was a child, so now he has to read the instructions.
Shen Yuntang said it would be more convenient to buy downloaded videos online. Shen Yuntang had watched the Spring Festival Gala during the Chinese New Year in the past few years. Later, during the Chinese New Year, they would go out to watch performances and lantern festivals and temple fairs, which were more interesting and lively.
Now that Cheng Yeran is the emperor, he will definitely be watched by others when he goes out, which will make others feel restrained and not have fun. It would be better for the whole family to watch the Spring Festival Gala at home.
Cheng Zhao is already in high school and Azhu is in elementary school. Both of them have excellent academic performance and always get first place. Azhu is also good at drawing. Because of her status as a princess, no one in the class will make fun of her finger problem. She is still introverted, but she has made two good friends.
Ah Zhu was more lively when she was at home. She ran around and pasted the paper-cuts she had cut herself on the glass.
"Come on, I'm done," Cheng Yeran called Ah Zhu over. He hugged Cheng Yeran and sat on the sofa. The two children sat on the left and right beside them. When they saw the skit about making dumplings, Cheng Yeran asked them, "Why don't we make dumplings together?"
Cheng Zhao: “No.”
Ah Zhu raised her hand: "My handbag is not good."
Shen Yuntang smiled and patted him, "You want to make dumplings with your skills? When you were asked to make dumplings in the village before, what did you make?"
Cheng Yeran also remembered the dumpling with the filling exposed, and couldn't help laughing.
Cheng Zhao seemed to have thought of something. He secretly got up and asked the kitchen to cook a box of shrimp dumplings, and took them to find the fifth prince.
The fifth prince was eating dumplings and preparing to watch the fireworks. When he saw the shrimp dumplings he brought, he was extremely happy. "Today, the maid who took care of me is on New Year's Day leave. The dumplings I cooked were all rotten. Fortunately, you brought them to me."
He ate the boiled dumplings in a few bites.
nAйF
Don’t waste it, let’s eat it together. ”
Cheng Zhao felt even more distressed when he saw him like this. He was once a prince, but he worried about not having enough food every day. He had to hide many things, and sometimes even ate bad food.
"It's New Year's Eve, and no one cooked for you. You didn't even tell me to go to our place for the New Year's Eve dinner." Seeing that he was eating fast, Cheng Zhao put down his chopsticks and didn't compete with him for the food.
"Can I go to your house for dinner tomorrow?" the fifth prince asked excitedly, "I'm sure you have a lot of delicious food at home, right?"
"Sure, you can eat it until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month." Cheng Zhao felt both angry and amused when he saw his little foodie look.
Just at this moment, fireworks exploded in the sky, almost scaring the fifth prince off the dumplings in his hand. "What are you laughing at?"
"No," Cheng Zhao put two more dumplings into his bowl, "Eat more."
Ah Zhu fell asleep on the sofa. She never stayed up late, but today she said she wanted to stay up all night, but in the end she couldn't hold on.
Shen Yuntang glanced at the time. It was ten o'clock in the evening. He got up and sent the child back to the room. He covered himself with a quilt and came back to continue watching the Spring Festival Gala. However, he saw Cheng Yeran, who had changed into a suit, with a rose in his mouth, leaning against the door and posing waiting for him.
Shen Yuntang: “???”
Cheng Yeran lifted his hair and said, "How is it? Am I handsome? Does he charm you to death?"
Shen Yuntang: "…What's wrong with you?"
Cheng Yeran took out another suit similar to the one he was wearing and handed it to Shen Yuntang, "I've prepared one for you too. Shall we play a suit? Haven't we ever played a modern drama? I'll play the domineering CEO, and you'll play my cool secretary?"
Shen Yuntang: "Why do you always have to act out forced love? What kind of weird habit is this?"
Cheng Yeran came over and hugged him, aggrieved and coquettish, "Come on, just treat it as a New Year's gift to me, agree to it."
Shen Yuntang could never get used to him acting like a spoiled child anytime and anywhere. She pulled him back to the room in shame and said, "Let's talk about it when we get home. Don't speak in that tone outside. You are the emperor now. You are making fun of yourself."
When Cheng Yeran heard that he was going back to his room, he happily followed him back.
Shen Yuntang changed into the suit he gave her. He looked straight in the waist. One might think that his long hair would not suit him, but he tied his hair into a low ponytail at the back, which made him look capable and beautiful.
Shen Yuntang stood in front of the mirror, very satisfied with the clothes. Cheng Yeran couldn't wait to stand behind him, hugged his narrow waist, and pressed him against the mirror. "It's not bad to face the mirror. I'll let you see how more beautiful you are."
Shen Yuntang turned away in shame, "Stop fooling around and go to bed."
Before he could finish, the other person put his fingers in his mouth, preventing him from uttering a complete sentence.
I don’t know how long it took, the bell outside rang, but Cheng Yeran didn’t stop yet, and he kept pushing harder and harder, as if he wanted to knock him into the mirror.
…
Cheng Yeran was lying on the big bed in the hotel and sleeping. Her beautiful profile was recorded by the camera, causing screams from the audience in the live broadcast room.
The door was pushed open, and a man cautiously poked his head in. The barrage recognized the man as Meng Xiaochen, the actor who participated in the variety show with him. The program team gave him the task of waking Cheng Yeran up.
Meng Xiaochen's status was not as high as Cheng Yeran's, so he was a little worried. He walked to the bed quietly and patted Cheng Yeran's shoulder, "Teacher Cheng, get up."
Cheng Yeran snorted in a sloppy way, hugged the pillow in his arms and turned over, "Wife, it's New Year's Day, I want to sleep a little longer."
After he said this, the whole audience was shocked and the barrage of comments went crazy.
[Wife?] Is he married? 】
[Secret marriage?] No way? ! 】
[Husband, please say something! If you don’t explain it clearly, today will not be over! 】
[It tastes like melon, but he is already in his twenties and it is time for him to get married. He is not an idol. A talented actor can get married if he wants. 】
…
Seeing things developing in an uncontrollable direction, Meng Xiaochen saw that he was still trying to speak, and fearfully covered Cheng Yeran's mouth with his hands, thinking to himself, this is not my fault! I won’t be hated or banned, right? I've only been in the industry for a few years, why am I so miserable!
He was so nervous that he didn't pay attention to the strength of his hands and woke Cheng Yeran up.
Cheng Yeran sat up hugging a pillow, looking at the staff and cameras in the room, and asked blankly, "Where is this? Where is my wife?"
The director is so scared, why is he still talking? It shouldn't be broadcast live.
The barrage became even crazier.
[Is this considered solid evidence?] 】
[Are you really married?] 】
…
It took Cheng Yeran a long time to realize, this was before the time travel? hotel? He turned around and saw his agent standing there, anxiously jumping up and down, wanting to rush over and turn off the live broadcast equipment. His eyes suddenly widened, and then he pinched himself, "This, was I dreaming just now?"
He looked around again, lowered his head to look at the back of his hand that was bruised by his pinch, and said in a tone of grievance and tears: "My wife is gone."
Everyone: “???”
【Bullet screen】
What's going on? Is the wife in the dream? 】
[It's so pitiful. Although, I really want to laugh. Hahahahaha. What a good wife she must be. She is still reluctant to leave even after waking up from the dream. 】
[I woke up from the dream. Where is my wife who is so old? 】
[Meng Xiaochen, you are done, you should compensate him with a wife! Right now! 】
[Don’t cry, husband. Your wife is here. I’ll be there right away! 】
…
The whole day, Cheng Yeran's face was full of resentment. He followed the program crew to put on makeup with resentment, moved to the house prepared by the program crew with resentment, and farmed with resentment.
【Bullet screen】
[He grows well and has strong hands-on skills. Who said he is a giant baby? 】
[Has he been trained in advance?] This technique is more skilled than that of a country boy like me. 】
[He seemed to still be resentful about his wife in his dream. Xiao Meng, you are finished. If you don’t compensate him with a wife, it will be over. 】
[Or else, let Xiao Meng be his wife.] 】
…
When Shen Yuntang woke up, he didn't feel any pain in his body. He thought he was numb from the pain. Every time he made love all night, he would not be able to get out of bed the next day. But this time, not only did he not feel any pain, his body also felt refreshed. After he opened his eyes, he found himself lying in an unfamiliar room.
He sat up in surprise, thinking he was kidnapped, but when he got up he found that he was wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts, and his hair was also short and dyed chestnut brown.
He frowned and looked at the mirror on the table opposite. It was indeed himself, but he was dressed differently.
Just as he was surprised, someone came and knocked on the door. It was a girl wearing round glasses.
The girl held up a schedule book and asked him, "Brother Chen, it's time to get up. This variety show is very rare. I can participate in the show with the famous actor Cheng Yeran. I worked very hard to get a chance to show my face. Although it's only for one episode, it's good to be by his side and get some shots."
"What? Cheng Yeran? Variety show?" Shen Yuntang looked at her in confusion, not understanding what she was talking about.
"Brother Chen, you must have been sleepy. Get up quickly. It's going to be late. This director is very strict. Last time, a young actor was five minutes late and he sent him back directly..." The girl said a lot of things next to him.
Shen Yuntang listened to her words and recalled some old memories. Cheng Yeran seemed to have said that he traveled through time from 2035 and was participating in a variety show when he traveled through time.
He quickly took out his cell phone and the time was 2035!
“I traveled through time!”
