The little prince continued to do as he pleased, and Queen Martha seemed to have long been used to it, showing no sign of impatience.
Seeing his son being so well taken care of, the King of the United States couldn't help but smile with satisfaction at Zhou Hanzhang. "I never imagined that the young prince would have such a unique way of dealing with children. My son usually does whatever he wants and doesn't listen to anyone. We didn't restrain him because he's so lively, thinking we'd just let him grow up like that. We never expected him to be so well-behaved today."
Zhou Hanzhang thought disdainfully, "Is this what you call being obedient?"
However, she responded with a polite and appropriate smile, "The King of the United States is too kind. Children are just like eating, drinking and having fun, so they are easy to deal with. It is Queen Martha who takes such good care of the little prince, which is truly admirable."
"Of course, one should pay more attention to one's own child. When the young prince marries and has children in the future, he will understand the feeling." The King of the United States looked at Zhou Hanzhang with gentle eyes and said earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Hanzhang smiled noncommittally, "Not all children are as lively and active as the Little Prince."
The King of the United States' expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his gentle demeanor. "The little prince's temperament is just like his mother's."
Zhou Hanzhang thought to herself, "How does this little prince resemble his mother at all?" She almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.
However, he remained calm and said indifferently, "I don't think the little prince and Queen Martha look very alike."
The King of the United States smiled awkwardly, "Martha was also very lively before she married me."
As he was talking, he suddenly noticed that the little prince seemed a little sleepy, leaning against the table and dozing off little by little.
Zhou Hanzhang also noticed this scene and was secretly delighted, it seemed that the medicine had worked.
The King of the United States was somewhat surprised. His son was usually full of energy and wouldn't go to sleep until midnight. Why was he so tired so early today?
Before he could speak, Zhou Hanzhang said to Queen Martha, "Is the little prince sleepy? Should we have someone take him to rest?"
Queen Martha was somewhat tempted and looked at the King of the United States, waiting for his indication.
Seeing that the little prince was already very sleepy, the King of the United States naturally couldn't refuse Zhou Hanzhang's kindness. "Then you can take him down first."
“We have professional nannies here to take care of the little prince. Queen Masha hasn’t eaten yet, so why don’t we have our meal first?” Zhou Hanzhang added.
Queen Martha shook her head, "No need. The little prince won't sleep well without me by his side in an unfamiliar environment. I'll stay with him."
Since that was the case, Zhou Hanzhang arranged for someone to take them down to rest, and also instructed the kitchen to prepare some food for them and send it over.
After his wife and children had left, the King of the United States changed the subject, "Where is the eldest prince?"
Upon hearing this, the Second Prince Zhou Haoyu quickly replied, "My eldest brother should already be on his way."
The emperor noticed that everyone was present except for Zhou Haochen, and his expression turned somewhat displeased. "This eldest son is really outrageous. Eunuch Zhang, go and see where he is?"
Meanwhile, Zhou Haochen had originally planned to arrive at the palace a little earlier, at least before the banquet began.
After all, he hadn't left the prince's residence for a long time. This time, thanks to the King of the United States, he was able to leave the prince's residence, and he was quite happy.
While at home, he tidied himself up, making himself look presentable. He was even more excited at the thought of seeing Jiang Mingyun at the banquet.
During this time, he was confined to the prince's residence and thought about many things. He felt very bad that he hadn't been able to get close to Jiang Mingyun for so long.
Subconsciously, he always felt that things shouldn't be this way, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.
He was unwilling to give up Jiang Mingyun and find another woman, so he was convinced that Jiang Mingyun should be his wife, and no one else could do it.
It's not that he particularly likes Jiang Mingyun; it's all just driven by self-interest.
He thought it would be good to say a few more words to Jiang Mingyun before the banquet. Although he couldn't use dirty tricks, he was still very confident in his charm and believed that as long as he put in enough effort, Jiang Mingyun would definitely give in to him.
However, as he set off from the prince's residence in high spirits, an unexpected incident occurred.
Halfway there, for some reason, the horse suddenly went berserk, and the carriage wheel broke off. Zhou Haochen, who was sitting in the carriage, was thrown around and was completely disoriented.
He fell to the ground, and before he could even react, a piece of wood from the carriage landed directly on his leg, causing him to cry out in pain.
Enraged, he picked up the rotten piece of wood and threw it aside, yelling, "What the hell?!"
At this moment, Zhou Haochen was covered in dirt and looked extremely disheveled, with his clothes all torn.
Sun Ce, who had been following behind him, rushed forward the moment the horse went berserk and stabbed it to death with his sword. Otherwise, Zhou Haochen would have been even more seriously injured.
After dealing with the horse, Sun Ce quickly returned to Zhou Haochen's side. "Your Highness, are you alright?"
Zhou Haochen was furious. "Do I look like I'm alright now?"
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Sun Ce quickly ordered his men to bring over the spare clothes and then ordered them to prepare a new carriage for the eldest prince. He then led him to a silk shop nearby.
He went in first to examine the clothes in the store and found that although the clothes were of excellent quality, they were not good enough for the Crown Prince to wear to a palace banquet.
Left with no other choice, they could only wait for someone to deliver clothes to the eldest prince.
After receiving the emperor's order, Eunuch Zhang immediately sent someone to find the eldest prince, only to learn of the accident that had befallen him.
After arranging for someone to go and take care of things, he quickly returned to report to the emperor.
When the emperor heard about this accident, his face turned very ugly.
He had intended to say that since something had gone wrong, they shouldn't come, but considering that the King of the United States was still waiting, he could only force a smile and say, "Chen'er encountered a small problem on the way, but he will arrive soon. We don't need to wait for him. Let's have our meal first. Today's meal was specially prepared for you."
Hearing the emperor say this, Zhou Hanzhang understood that her previous arrangements had worked, and Zhou Haochen would probably not arrive for some time.
This is enough.
She stepped forward and said to the emperor, "Uncle, shall I go out and greet my eldest cousin?"
"No need, you stay here, he'll be here soon," the emperor said, waving his hand.
This is exactly what Zhou Hanzhang was waiting for.
