After picking up a lucky girl, all the beasts line up to come to your door

Cheng Zishi knew from the beginning that the prince was playful by nature and he never wanted to be the prince.

If the emperor had not suddenly appointed a crown prince, he would have hidden as far away as possible.

He sighed, his face solemn. "Your Highness, you are already the crown prince of a country. If you still act so carefree, are you worthy of the Emperor? Are you worthy of the people who look up to you?"

The prince felt even more aggrieved, "I know I am sorry to my father and the people."

"But I'm really not cut out to be a crown prince."

"What I like most is a leisurely and comfortable life. Otherwise, I wouldn't have participated in the fight for the throne all these years, let alone stayed away from it."

He understood one thing since he was a child: as an unpopular prince, if he wanted to survive, he had to stay away from the fight for succession and power.

Therefore, he never participated in anything related to power since he was a child, and spent his days eating, drinking, having fun and lying down.

If it weren't for this, he wouldn't be alive today.

The wrinkles between Cheng Zishi's brows deepened. "Your Highness, after getting to know you over the past few days, I know you are a capable person."

"It's just that you still have a bit of an evasive and unwilling mentality."

"Think about it, Prince Chang is under house arrest now. Maybe the Emperor will appoint another Crown Prince. You don't need to work so hard."

The prince did not deny that he did have such a mentality.

Cheng Zishi added, "But Your Highness also understands that even if the Emperor appoints a new Crown Prince, you will not have a good ending."

"The new crown prince may not be able to accommodate you."

"Even if the new crown prince can tolerate you now, he may not be able to tolerate you in the future."

The prince slumped his shoulders and said nothing.

He understood this from the day he was made crown prince.

Even if one day he, the crown prince, was deposed, the new crown prince might not necessarily tolerate him, simply because he was once the crown prince.

But even so, he still held on to that glimmer of hope, hoping that the new prince would tolerate him.

He really doesn't want to be the crown prince of this shit.

"Zishi, stop talking about this." Rong Jing took out a folding fan from his sleeve, opened it, and fanned it slowly.

"You just need to tell His Highness that whether he sits on the throne of the Crown Prince is not up to him alone."

"Even if he tries to evade it again, he will still have to bear the responsibilities and obligations he should bear."

Cheng Zishi glanced at him and said, "You are too lenient."

"I told you, Your Highness should do more training in the afternoon riding, archery and martial arts classes. Don't be too nice to Your Highness."

The prince frowned and his eyes were filled with tears. "Mr. Cheng, is it really okay for you to say this to my face?"

Rong Jing said, "Okay, I'll give Your Highness some extra lessons this afternoon."

"No!" The prince looked at him bitterly, "Prince Rong, we are good friends, you can't do this to me."

For a loser who is not good at riding, shooting and martial arts, no one else will understand how difficult and painful the afternoon classes are.

Rong Jing spread his hands, feeling helpless. "Your Highness, it's not that I want to give you extra lessons, it's you who are disobedient."

Before coming to be His Highness's teacher, his father had specifically told him to treat His Highness like an ordinary student.

The prince turned to look at Cheng Zishi and pleaded, "Mr. Cheng, I promise to be obedient from now on and not sneak away again. Please don't give me extra lessons."

He has no rest time to begin with, and if he has more classes, he will have even less rest time.

Cheng Zishi rubbed his brows and said, "Your Highness, these are all necessary."

"According to royal custom, during the annual autumn hunt, the Emperor or the Crown Prince must hunt a deer. Your Highness wouldn't want to become a laughing stock, would you?"

The prince moved his mouth a few times. He had become a laughing stock many times, so he didn't care about it.

Cheng Zishi seemed to know what he was thinking, "Your Highness, the jokes you made in the past will not affect you now."

"Now that you are the crown prince, your conduct and behavior are strictly required in all aspects, and you must not become a laughing stock."

The prince sighed deeply, not knowing whether it was because of the appointment or something else. "Never mind. I'll try my best."

He knew very well that at this point, he had no room to struggle.

Cheng Zishi knew that he had not completely given up, so he decided to keep an eye on him. "How about this, Your Highness will take a half-day break in the morning and have classes in the afternoon."

The prince's gloomy face lit up with a bright light. He was a little bit incredulous, "Mr. Cheng, is this true?"

Mr. Cheng, who has always been strict with him, actually gave him half a day of rest.

Cheng Zishi, "...this half day is not a complete rest."

"Prince, you should see more of the people's lives and understand more about their affairs. When you return, write me an assignment."

The prince readily agreed, "Don't worry, Mr. Cheng, I will definitely get it done."

Cheng Zishi's eyes hurt from watching this, "Go ahead."

The prince, having received the promise, left happily with An Yi.

He has half a day off.

I’m so happy.

"What a surprise! You would give His Highness half a day's rest." Rong Jing looked at Cheng Zishi in surprise.

"I thought you would give His Highness more lessons so that he could understand the ways of being a king as quickly as possible."

Cheng Zishi rolled his eyes at him and said, "It's useless to add more homework to a student who doesn't want to learn. It's better to let His Highness go out for a walk."

"At times like this, I miss my baby."

"Baby loves studying the most and is the most serious and hardworking in his studies."

He has met so many students, but the baby left the deepest impression on him. The child loves learning and works hard for it.

Rong Jing patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, don't say this anymore."

"Actually, if you think about it, it's not surprising that His Highness would act like this. He didn't have any of these things in his life, but he suddenly became the crown prince. It's not surprising that he would act like this."

Cheng Zishi was too lazy to talk to him any more.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard the housekeeper's slightly anxious voice.

"Mr. Cheng, Prince Rong, please wait a moment."

The butler hurried over and bowed, "Sir, have you seen where His Highness is?"

"A letter has just been delivered and needs your highness's approval."

Cheng Zishi said, "His Highness is out on business."

"But it's urgent?"

"If it's not an urgent matter, it won't be too late to talk about it after His Highness returns."

The butler said, "I wonder if this is a very urgent matter, concerning Prince Chang."

Cheng Zishi and Rong Jing looked at each other. Could it be that Prince Chang was still restless?

"Let me see the letter." Cheng Zishi said.

Without any hesitation, the butler took out the letter from his sleeve and handed it to him with both hands.

The Emperor once instructed that if His Highness is not at home, all matters in the mansion, big or small, will be managed by Mr. Cheng and Prince Rong.

Cheng Zishi unfolded the letter and read it.

When he finished reading the letter, his face darkened.

"What's wrong?" Rong Jing saw him like this and leaned over to read the letter. "Oh my God!?"

"Is Prince Chang crazy?"
