The emperor frowned and said, "No hurry, just wait."
Concubine Duan stood up and said: "You are not in a hurry? How can you be in a hurry? Your Majesty, just listen to me this time. The fifth prince is a pure and kind man, and he will definitely be a good king in the future."
What is pure kindness, it is just easy to control.
The emperor understood in his heart, but there is indeed no more suitable candidate now, "Let me think about it."
Concubine Duan coughed, then patted her chest and softened her tone and said: "That's okay, you can think about it again."
The emperor stood up and said, "I see you have been coughing these days. Please take good care of yourself."
Concubine Duan nodded lightly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
The emperor stood up, patted her shoulder gently, turned and left her room.
After passing the general examination, the palace examination will take place half a month later. ?.?????.ℂ??
Zhou Ruiyuan looked at the results of the results and did not go back immediately. He stayed in the capital for another half month. During this half month, he also talked about the possibility that the emperor would appoint the fifth prince as the crown prince.
But it seems that the fifth prince does not want to be a prince.
In a restaurant in the capital, the fifth prince hugged the boy beside him and cried, "I don't want to be a prince. What's the good of being a prince? I have to be forced to go to court every day and have to watch so many memorials. How can I be a prince?" How great it is, you don’t have to manage the affairs of the DPRK and Central Government, you can still enjoy the good food and drink, and you can go and play wherever you want."
The servant comforted him and said: "Your Highness, you have to think like this. If you become the emperor, what do you want?"
The fifth prince shook his head, "You want everything? I just want to eat delicious food. Can I eat it if I am a prince? Why do I want to be an emperor? I don't want it, I don't want it!"
The more he cried, the harder he cried.
The servant really had no choice but to say, "Your Highness, how about we escape."
"Escape?" the fifth prince asked doubtfully.
The young man nodded and said, "That's right, run away! Run away for a while, and we will come back when the emperor appoints a prince."
Upon hearing this, the fifth prince quickly sat up and wiped his tears, "That sounds pretty good."
The boy smiled and said, "Yes."
The fifth prince thought for a moment and said, "Where are we going to escape?"
The boy pointed to the south and said, "Of course we go to the south of the Yangtze River. I heard there are a lot of delicious food there."
The fifth prince has no other hobbies except eating.
When he heard this, his eyes sparkled, "Okay, when will we go?"
The boy came close to his ear and whispered: "I'll go tonight."
The fifth prince was very excited after hearing this and slapped the table hard, "Okay, let's set off tonight!"
The two hit it off immediately and set out at night.
The fifth prince brought a baggage containing banknotes and money at the request of the servant, and the two of them agreed to go to Wancheng County in the south.
And a carriage stopped at the city gate.
The boy waited for him in the carriage outside the east gate.
However, the fifth prince was a man who didn't like to think too much. He mistook the east gate for the west gate and went directly to a carriage at the west gate at night.
The man in this carriage was a driver delivering goods to the Zhou family from Cheng'an County.
Just now we just parked the carriage at the city gate to rest, waiting for dawn before setting off.
The fifth prince sat in the carriage and waited for a while, then asked the driver outside the carriage, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"
The coachman was half asleep and casually replied, "We'll leave at dawn."
The fifth prince thought that the coachman was the boy, so he fell asleep in the carriage with his bow in his arms.
After daybreak, the coachman did not find anyone in the carriage, so he drove the carriage towards Cheng'an County.
The fifth prince was still asleep in the carriage. When he woke up, he called to the driver outside the carriage: "Little Plum, where have I been?"
The boy before was called Xiao Lizi.
The coachman was startled when he heard that there was someone in the carriage behind him. He quickly stopped the carriage, opened the curtain of the carriage and looked inside. He was startled when he saw a young man sitting inside, "Who are you? Why are you in my carriage?" inside?"
The fifth prince was also shocked when he saw the coachman, "You...who are you?"
He was very timid, and his voice trembled with fright when he saw the coachman.
Seeing that the young man was following a little wild cat, the coachman was not as fierce as before, so he said in a gentle tone: "I am the coachman of the Zhou family. I come to the capital to deliver goods. Who are you?!"
Normally, the Zhou family's delivery requires at least four carriages and people from the escort agency accompanying them.
However, this time the coachman brought the clothes and food that Du Wanchun had prepared for Zhou Ruiyuan, so he did not bring so many people.
The fifth prince was trembling. Although he was timid, he knew not to reveal his identity because he was afraid that he would be sent back to be the prince again.
He quickly said: "My family members are all dead, and I am the only one left, so I want to go south."
When the coachman heard that he was an orphan, his tone became gentle, "We are not going to Wancheng County in the south, we are going to Cheng'an County."
When the fifth prince heard this, he realized that he had gotten into the wrong car, and he quickly said: "Cheng'an County is fine too. Uncle, I'm homeless, so just take me with you."
The coachman looked at his pity and agreed, "Okay, you can come with me."
