The five princes had not seen Aunt Zhou for a long time, so they poured out all their sour thoughts, "It was my father and Concubine Duan. They wanted to make me the crown prince, but I didn't want to be the crown prince, so I ran away." "Crown prince?!" Aunt Zhou and Du Wanchun both showed surprise on their faces. The emperor and Concubine Duan actually wanted to find the fifth prince to be the crown prince. Isn't it obvious that they wanted to find him as a puppet? The fifth prince wiped his tears and said aggrievedly: "How could that Concubine Duan be so kind as to want me to be the prince? She just wanted to make me a puppet because of my courage. It's better to escape and become an ordinary citizen than to be a puppet."

The fifth prince looked timid and even a little stupid, but his heart was as clear as a mirror.

"But, mother, why are you here?" He asked Aunt Zhou in confusion.

Aunt Zhou told him how she was killed and how she escaped and lived in seclusion here in order to prevent this kid from leaking the news.

Since she was here, she had to find a way to keep him here, otherwise she didn't know what would happen if she let him go back.

The fifth prince listened with resentment, "I didn't expect my father to be so cruel. It turned out that everything was done by him!"

When Aunt Zhou was banished to the cold palace, the timid fifth prince actually knelt in front of the emperor's palace for three days and three nights.

Later, he was dragged back by the eunuch next to him.

Aunt Zhou didn't know all this. If she knew, she would probably be very touched.

Aunt Zhou comforted him and asked, "What are you going to do next?"

The fifth prince looked at Aunt Zhou solemnly and said, "Mother, I won't leave. I will stay here to take care of you. My mother died early, and I couldn't take care of her in her old age. You have taken care of me for so many years, so you are my mother. I will take care of you in your old age."

Aunt Zhou was very happy to hear this and said with a smile, "But the life of a farmer is not as easy as your life in the palace where you have food and clothes to eat and stretch out your hands."

The fifth prince stood up, patted his chest and said, "It's okay, I can do it."

He was afraid that Aunt Zhou would drive him away. As long as she didn't drive him away, he would be willing to do anything.

Du Wanchun saw that they had agreed and said with a smile, "Since the fifth brother is willing to stay, you may need to change your name in the future."

"Change the name?" The fifth prince touched his head and asked in confusion.

Du Wanchun continued to laugh and said, "You can't call her mother anymore, you have to call her mother!"

Mother has always been closer to me than mother.

The Fifth Prince's face was full of smiles after hearing this, and he quickly knelt down to Aunt Zhou and said, "Mother!"

Aunt Zhou couldn't stop laughing when she called her mother.

Before she left the palace, she was a little worried about the child. Now the child can be raised by her side, which can be regarded as God's blessing.

Now Zhou Feng is in the capital, and Zhou Zhao is outside the pass.

Zhou Ruiyuan is often away from home, and the Zhou family is indeed in need of a man to support them.

After the mother and son chatted for a long time, Aunt Zhou and Du Wanchun got up and cleaned up a room for him.

The Fifth Prince also helped to chop firewood in the backyard very sensibly.

These firewoods were chopped by Zhou Ruiyuan before, and now Wei Xun is chopping them.

Now the Fifth Prince has taken over again. At first he was not very good at it, but later he became proficient under Wei Xun's teaching.

When she got here, Aunt Zhou calculated the time and said to Du Wanchun, "The results of the Ruiyuan test have come out, and I don't know what happened."

Du Wanchun hugged Xiao Mianmian and coaxed her, "Mom, don't worry. My husband didn't write in advance, so he probably wanted to give us a surprise."

Aunt Zhou could only think so, "I don't know if the emperor recognized him."

Du Wanchun softened her voice and comforted her, "Mom, if he really recognized him, I'm afraid we can't stay here well."

After hearing this, Aunt Zhou suddenly realized, "You're right."

After nightfall, the next morning, the fifth prince followed Wei Xun to get busy.

Although they were both new here, they were particularly good at farm work.

At noon, Aunt Zhou personally delivered vegetables to them. When she came back, she was stopped by a matchmaker from Jiangliu Village.

"Sister Zhou, why hasn't your husband been home lately?"

The matchmaker's surname was Chu. Before Du Wanchun married into the family, she had always wanted to matchmake for Aunt Zhou.

She said that as a widow with so many children, she needed a man to support them.
