The five princes were stunned.

Auntie Zhou was stunned by the sight of the fifth prince in the carriage.

The two finally reacted together.

"Why are you here?!"

"Ah! Ghost!"

Auntie Zhou realized something was wrong and quickly turned her back to the fifth prince.

The fifth prince also turned his back to Auntie Zhou with a look of horror, his mouth trembling, and muttered in a voice that none of them could hear: "Mother... It's Mother... Mother's ghost is here..."

The fifth prince was about the same age as Zhou Zhao. He used to beg for food in Auntie Zhou's palace. His appearance had not changed as much as Zhou Zhao, and he still looked like a little kid.

But why was he here?

Aunt Zhou was so shocked that she couldn't speak and ran into the house.

The fifth prince still had his back to them, as if he had seen a ghost, he closed his eyes and silently chanted a spell, trembling all over.

The driver beside him saw him like this and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong with you, kid?"

The fifth prince grabbed him, closed his eyes, and trembled and said: "Uncle, go! Go! There are ghosts here!"

The driver raised his hand and rolled his head, "Where are the ghosts? That was our lady just now!"

The fifth prince opened his eyes slightly, and his face gradually improved, "Madam, your lady?"

The driver smiled and said: "Yes, it's the lady of our Zhou family's incense shop."

The fifth prince hurriedly said: "I know Zhou's incense shop, they also have a shop in the capital, and the incense they sell smells good."

As he said, he immediately rubbed his eyes, "It seems that I saw it wrong just now."

Du Wanchun did not leave the carriage, and smiled and said to the driver: "Uncle Zhang, you have worked hard all the way, come to my house for a hot meal."

The driver and the fifth prince did not have money on the way, and they were indeed hungry.

The two hesitated, wanting to go but a little embarrassed to agree.

Du Wanchun welcomed them in.

The Fifth Prince bent over and looked into the room carefully.

At this moment, Aunt Zhou was no longer shy and brought out the dishes prepared by Aunt Zhuang.

Madam Wu and Xiaomei Xu also came over with their children.

The Fifth Prince was timid. Seeing so many people, he didn't dare to raise his head, and didn't dare to look at Aunt Zhou at all.

But he was soon impressed by the table full of dishes.

While eating, Du Wanchun asked Uncle Zhang, "Who is this young man?"

Uncle Zhang replied while eating, "This kid said he was going to the south, but he accidentally got on my carriage by mistake, and then he was robbed of his money by bandits on the way, so he had to follow me all the way here."

Du Wanchun suddenly realized, and then said with a smile, "We just happen to be short of workers in our fields, and I don't know if this young man is willing to stay."

The fifth prince was stunned when he heard it, and he hadn't swallowed the food in his mouth yet, "Stay?"

Du Wanchun nodded.

Uncle Zhang smiled and said, "If you stay, you can eat such food every day."

"Can you eat such food every day?" The fifth prince asked excitedly immediately.

Du Wanchun smiled and replied, "Yes, you can eat such food every day in the future."

The fifth prince was ecstatic, "Okay, I am willing to stay, the food here is much better than the food in the capital!"

After he finished speaking, he picked up the bowl and stuffed the food into his mouth in big mouthfuls.

Everyone at the table couldn't help laughing.

Aunt Zhou wasn't as scared as she was at the beginning, and secretly served a bowl of rice and placed it next to him.

This child has no shortcomings except being timid since he was a child.

And there is a reason for his timidity.

The mother of the fifth prince used to be a maid in Aunt Zhou's palace. Later, she was favored by the emperor and was named Concubine Li.

However, the emperor was a heartless guy. After Concubine Li gave birth to the fifth prince, he left her aside and ignored her.

It was Aunt Zhou who took care of them all the time.

When the fifth prince was one year old, Concubine Li burned charcoal in the room because she was depressed.

The fifth prince saw his mother die with his own eyes, so he is as timid as he is now.

After Concubine Li died, the fifth prince was raised by the queen mother herself. Aunt Zhou felt sorry for him and often brought him to the palace to take care of him.

She was also half his mother, and she would call her mother sweetly when she came to the palace on weekdays.

I didn't expect that after not seeing each other for four years, the two of them would meet in this way.

After everyone finished eating, Uncle Zhang left first, he was going to give the horse a bath.

Madam Wu and Madam Xu were going to take the children for a nap.

Madam Zhuang was going to clean up the kitchen.

Now only the Fifth Prince, Madam Zhou and

Du Wanchun.

Du Wanchun quickly closed the doors and windows of the house and asked him, "What's your name?"

The fifth prince still lowered his head. He used his mother's surname and replied, "My name is Li Quan..."

"Where are you from?" Du Wanchun asked again.

The fifth prince whispered, "I'm from the capital..."

Seeing that he was hesitating, Aunt Zhou stopped hiding and said, "Did you sneak out without telling your father?"

The fifth prince was startled again when he heard Aunt Zhou's voice. He looked up at her suddenly, his eyes widened in disbelief, "Mother...Mother...Is it really you?!"

Aunt Zhou replied, "Yes, I'm not dead, don't be afraid, I'm not a ghost."

When the fifth prince heard that she was not a ghost, he really became much bolder. He slowly became a little excited, and tears flowed down his face, "Mother, it's really you. You're not dead. It's great!"

He cried more and more excitedly, and stepped forward to hug Aunt Zhou.

Although the two are not related by blood, he was raised by me after all, so he is still my son.

Aunt Zhou patted him on the back gently, "Okay, okay, tell me, why did you come to Changliu Village?"
