Chapter 240
05
After Cheng Zhao became emperor, he stopped going to school and took online classes instead.
Although the textbooks in their schools have been improved, they are still different from the future.
He bought these online courses online. Not only did he study by himself, he also selected a group of outstanding classmates in the school to take online courses with him, hoping that after they finished their studies, they could become teachers in the school and pass on the new teaching materials.
The fifth prince naturally also attended classes with Cheng Zhao and his classmates.
The fifth prince's grades were not ideal. He was always below average in school, but there was always someone at the bottom, so he was not in a hurry and was cheerful every day. However, ever since he started studying in the palace, he has always been ranked last.
The class was full of elites and he seemed out of place. However, he did not feel psychological pressure because of studying. He thought that he would become the queen in the future and just manage the harem. There was no need for so much knowledge. It was just that losing weight brought him great pain and made it impossible for him to be happy every day.
Cheng Zhao naturally noticed his condition. He also specifically asked the people in the Fifth Prince's Palace to report to him about the Fifth Prince's recent diet and daily life.
The palace servants said that the Fifth Prince's appetite had been halved recently, and he no longer ate his favorite cakes and pastries. He only ate snacks once every three to five days, and often wailed in pain. When asked what was wrong with him, he just said that he felt uncomfortable and that life was worse than death. They would not understand.
When Cheng Zhao heard their report, he couldn't help but frown. The Fifth Prince didn't care much about anything else, and his biggest hobby was eating. What on earth had happened to him that made him unable to even eat?
Cheng Zhao looked at the class rankings in recent months and found that the fifth prince had always been ranked last. Could it be because the study pressure was too great? So that he couldn't even eat?
Cheng Zhao judged others by himself. If he always ranked last in the exams, he would definitely become depressed. Not to mention every time, even if it happened once, he would be so depressed that he wouldn't be able to eat well for several days.
He asked the palace servant to pass a message to the Fifth Prince, and he would go to the Fifth Prince's palace to find him after an hour.
Before hearing the news, the Fifth Prince was struggling with a piece of cake on the plate. He hadn't eaten cake for a whole month! He looked at the beautiful cream on it and wanted so badly to have a lick of it.
If you can't even eat what you want, then what's the point of living!
She is clearly the future queen, but she can't even eat what she wants. So what's the point of being the queen?
He had a big quarrel with the nanny, who angrily said she would ignore him. Just as he was about to pick up the cake to take a satisfied bite, the eunuch came and said that Cheng Zhao would come to see him in an hour and asked him to get ready.
When the nanny beside the fifth prince heard this, she said to him happily, "What did I say? Losing weight really works. You have lost a lot of weight this month. His Majesty has really seen your efforts and is coming to see you."
“Is it because of this reason?” The fifth prince touched his face. His previous round face had turned into a pointed face. Could it be that Cheng Zhao’s aesthetic standard was a pointed chin?
He recalled that before Cheng Zhao ascended the throne, he went to school with him every day and would occasionally come to see him, but after he ascended the throne, apart from going to class together, he never came to see him again.
Even during class, I rarely talk to him, not as much as I do to other classmates.
He thought about it again and realized that before Cheng Zhao ascended the throne, he had just returned from the royal temple. Although he was eating every day, he was thin at that time.
She gained weight little by little. When she got engaged to Cheng Zhao, she already had a round face. After the engagement, she ate without restraint for a while, and her face became even rounder. Cheng Zhao rarely spoke to her then.
The fifth prince seemed to have found the reason, but this reason was too painful!
He wanted to gain Cheng Zhao's favor so that he could have endless delicious food every day, but the way to be favored was to eat less, so what was the point?
But falling out of favor is even more miserable. Not only can you not eat delicious food, you may also be bullied or even killed. The days of being hungry, cold, bullied and hunted by others are obviously more painful than dieting. He can only choose this path.
The fifth prince wanted to cry but had no tears. When Cheng Zhao arrived, the expression on his face became even more dejected. He felt angry in his heart that being the queen was too difficult.
I'm a bit tired these two days, so I'll write a longer chapter next time.
