Chapter 247

He wanted to try to replace all his former palace maids. He did not eat dinner in his own bedroom, but went to Cheng Zhao's place and hinted at Cheng Zhao under the pretext of having dinner.
Although he already had his own guesses in his mind, he still wanted to play dumb and ask Cheng Zhao what was going on, and then hint to Cheng Zhao that he was more adapted to the previous palace servants and asked if they could be transferred back.
Everyone else had to notify Cheng Zhao in advance when they went to his residence, but the Fifth Prince did not need to notify him in advance. He just had to say so when he arrived. Everyone else was scrambling to get a chance to meet Cheng Zhao in private, but the Fifth Prince had never been to his residence.
The Fifth Prince's visit made Cheng Zhao's tone a little surprised. "Normally I am the one who comes to see you, but today you came to see me for the first time. What's the matter?"
Cheng Zhao's words made the Fifth Prince feel a little guilty, especially when he thought about how Cheng Zhao had treated him on a daily basis, and how he had misunderstood Cheng Zhao and ran away from the palace, causing so much trouble and making Cheng Zhao worry about him. He felt even more guilty.
For a moment, he didn't even dare to say that he came for the palace maids in his own palace.
"What other reason could there be for me to come here? I just want to have a meal with you." The fifth prince said with a guilty tone.
"It's not time for lunch yet, please wait a moment." Cheng Zhao said and continued to work on documents with his head down.
The fifth prince didn't know what he was busy with. He sat next to him and looked around. Then he found that the problem he was dealing with was exactly the factory problem he encountered when he left the palace. He wanted to reform the factory.
When the Fifth Prince saw what he had done, he suddenly felt confident. "It's not like I didn't make any contribution when I left the palace. I did make a little contribution. Just think of it as me going on a secret visit, okay?"
Cheng Zhao glanced at him and guessed the purpose of his visit. "This time, I have gained a little bit."
"Since we have gained something, can I make a request?" The fifth prince took the opportunity to say.
Cheng Zhao glanced at him and took out a calendar. "Your contribution is only one-ninth, the rest is all fault. I haven't punished you yet, but you're already thinking about other things. It just so happens that you're here, so I don't have to ask him to call you again to set a date for the wedding."
"Wedding date? What wedding date?" The Fifth Prince realized that they were both close to marriageable age. "Why did you replace everyone in my palace? Was it to warn me? Because the wedding date is approaching, are you afraid that I will run away again, so you want to kill the chicken to scare the monkey first?"
The fifth prince originally wanted to use a more tactful approach, but in his anxiety he spoke out what was in his mind.
"The only time you came to see me was because of those people? Are you really unwilling to be my queen?" Cheng Zhao pointed to a date, meaning that they would get married on that day. "Whether you like it or not, you are my queen. This is a fact that cannot be changed."
