Although I don’t quite understand what part-time work means, it’s not difficult to understand it in this context.
She opened her mouth in surprise, subconsciously turned her head to look around, and then spoke with a complicated mood.
"Sister Huang, don't you want to ascend the throne?"
But this doesn’t make sense?
How could there be a princess who didn't want to be an empress?
Even she couldn't say with certainty that she was not interested in that position at all.
After all, after other princesses ascend the throne, if they are lucky, they can be granted a fiefdom and have enough food and clothing for the rest of their lives. If they are unlucky, it is not impossible for them to be killed by their brothers and sisters.
Just look at the fate of His Majesty's brothers and sisters today.
King Pan is the easiest person to encourage ambition.
Moreover, the little girl is the Crown Princess, has a legitimate name, is appreciated by the Queen Mother, and is loved by the people. It can be said that she is an heir who cannot be more standard.
What did she say? She didn't want to ascend the throne?
His Highness the Fifth shook his head, feeling that he might have been hallucinating.
Gardenia gave her a strange look.
"Do you like going to court every day?"
"..."
When she didn't answer, the little girl looked like you were looking at her, and then continued to accuse.
"Not only can't I sleep in, I have to correct memorials, I'm annoyed by ministers every day, and I can't do whatever I want. So what's the point of me being on the throne?"
After speaking in one breath, she sighed sincerely.
"How tiring. Besides, I still have endless money to spend."
Others have weekends off when they are working, but being a queen means you have no days off all year round!
His Highness the Fifth Prince was confused for a few seconds, but he actually felt that what she said made sense.
Yes, it is indeed good to be a princess. You don't have to worry about food and clothing, and your status is noble. It will be more comfortable if you don't want to participate in the struggle for the throne. No one will care about you even if you are as debauched as the third emperor sister.
No, wait, why was she led astray?
The Fifth Highness woke up with difficulty and tried to persuade.
"But, being a queen is not bad, right?"
Gardenia blinked her eyes, showing her disbelief.
Then he remembered something and patted her shoulder.
"It doesn't matter, you have to be the one anyway, you will know later."
His Highness Fifth Prince:...Huh?
She was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something.
"Sister Royal!"
Gardenia looked at her blankly, wondering why she had such a big reaction. Didn't she just say she wanted to be one?
I can't figure it out, so I just don't bother to think about it.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Ding Jue walking in. She realized it was time to eat, so she spoke seriously.
"These are all your responsibilities, work hard, and remember to come with me when you go south in a few days."
After thinking about it, I added another sentence.
"The Queen Mother agreed."
After saying that, he waved to her happily and ran down to find the maid.
By the time the Fifth Highness recovered from the shock, the palace was already empty.
Just as she was about to ask something, an official came over with a pile of books and said cautiously.
"Your Highness, these are the tasks assigned to you by the Crown Princess. They record the dams built over the years and the costs..."
She didn't need to say the rest, His Highness also understood.
It's nothing more than a task assigned by His Majesty, such as finding ways to reduce expenses or something.
It wasn't until this moment, when she felt the weight of the book in her arms, that she truly realized that the little girl's words were not a joke.
The fifth prince just felt that the burden on his shoulders was getting heavier again.
Until I left, I looked confused and confused.
After a few days, the matter was finally resolved, and the two began to make arrangements for their trip south.
Originally, only Gardenia was going alone, and the other princesses had nothing to say no matter how unwilling they were. But when things came to a head, His Majesty suddenly announced that Lao Wu was going with her, and everyone was instantly unhappy.
