Chapter 249
14
The Fifth Prince had nothing left to do and didn't want to go to work at all, but this time, Cheng Zhao sent him an imperial edict, so he had to obey.
In the past, whenever Cheng Zhao wanted to pass on any news to him, he would talk to him directly or ask a palace servant to help him pass the message. He never used a formal method like an imperial edict.
The Fifth Prince was very sad after receiving the imperial edict. He felt that the distance between him and Cheng Zhao suddenly became far, and Cheng Zhao was issuing an order. He felt that because of what happened last time, he had refuted Cheng Zhao and even ran away from the palace, which made Cheng Zhao feel that he was disobedient. It would be better to issue the imperial edict directly so that he would not have the opportunity to refute.
The Fifth Prince summarized it and felt that Cheng Zhao issued the imperial edict because he was annoyed with him and didn't want to listen to his ideas.
The Fifth Prince felt upset. He recalled his childhood when he was still a prince and Cheng Zhao was just the child of a minister. At that time, he did not put on airs as a prince and always followed Cheng Zhao around. When he met his elder brother, he also sincerely regarded Cheng Zhao as his good friend. However, everything had changed in the years since Cheng Zhao left the capital. After he came back, not only did Cheng Zhao become distant from him, but he also used his power as the emperor to control him, forcing him to do this and that, and not letting him leave at will. He seemed like a puppet, and had to listen to Cheng Zhao's instructions in everything.
When the palace maid returned to Cheng Zhao to report, she said that the Fifth Prince had been looking grumpy ever since he received the imperial edict, and he looked reluctant when he was being measured for clothes, as if he did not want to get married.
Cheng Zhao didn't think anything of it and just said casually, "He's just too young."
The palace maid complained in her heart, she is already twenty years old, how can she still be young? Your Majesty dotes on him too much.
If it were the old days, the fifth prince would have had to give birth to a child.
Cheng Zhao always believed that the Fifth Prince ran away from the palace last time because he was afraid of marriage. Since he had never been married, it was normal for him to feel afraid of getting married. He wanted to marry the Fifth Prince immediately to experience that marriage was not scary. Then the Fifth Prince would feel at ease to stay by his side in the future.
He had previously asked the Fifth Prince why he didn't want to be the Queen. It was because the maidens kept telling him that he had to be thin to be the Queen, and didn't let him eat well. He didn't know what else she would say in the Fifth Prince's ear in the future, which led him astray. Now he has replaced all those maids and palace maids. The new palace maids can allow him to live a relaxed and comfortable life, and he will not be afraid of getting married and becoming the Queen in the future.
In the future, the Fifth Prince will be the Queen and will manage the country together with him. The job he arranges for the Fifth Prince is also an important position.
