Chapter 5 serious misunderstanding

The prince, dressed in Tom's tattered clothes, ran to the door angrily, and yelled at the soldiers: "Hey, open the door! Come on!" Hearing the shout, the soldier who had pushed Tom to the ground before turned to look at him, ignored him, and opened the gate without a word.As soon as the prince's foot stepped out of the iron gate, the soldier raised his fist and hit the prince hard on the head, and pushed him to the ground roughly, cursing viciously: "Bah, you dirty little boy!" Xixi little beggar, it was because of you that His Royal Highness reprimanded me just now."

The soldier never thought that this little beggar was His Royal Highness, he thought it was the little beggar from before, because His Royal Highness allowed him to enter the palace, and now he is putting on airs like a dog. The prince got up angrily, rushed to the soldiers, and shouted loudly: "What are you trying to do, bastard! I am a prince, you see clearly!" The soldier shouted angrily, "Get lost, you shameless little beggar!" After speaking, he beat the prince roughly and pushed him to the ground. The citizens surrounding the palace gate, seeing such a scene, cursed one after another: "Hey, little beggar, are you crazy!"

"Hey, don't make a scene in front of the palace gate, drive him away quickly." Everyone not only cursed loudly, but also threw stones at him. "I am a prince, how dare you be rude!" "Hey, with your outfit, you actually want to pretend to be a prince?" "That's not the case, this dress is..." "Shut up and get out, little beggar!" The prince tried his best to defend loudly, more and more people were watching the excitement in front of the palace gate, and the stones thrown at the prince were as dense as raindrops.Seeing that it was useless to explain any further, the prince had no choice but to keep backing away in order to avoid the stones being thrown.

Amidst the ridicule and cursing of the onlookers, the prince ran away with all his strength. Hey, back then when he and the little beggar exchanged clothes, he just wanted to experience the fun of the game, how could he have thought that such a thing would happen now? It took a long time before he calmed down. He looked back and saw that no one was chasing him anymore. He breathed a sigh of relief and looked around. He couldn't remember how he got here, let alone where he was. . He guessed that he didn't run too far, and this place might still be within the limits of London. The prince sat on the side of the road to rest for a while, and then dragged his heavy legs down the street again.Before long, he found a familiar large building.Upon seeing the building, the prince's face showed a gleam of joy.

He thought to himself: "My God, isn't this the orphanage where I accompanied my father before? The dean may still know me. Yes, I will go in and find the dean now and tell him what happened. He should Can take me back to the palace." Thinking of this, the prince regained his spirits. He pushed open the door vigorously and walked into the orphanage. At this time, it happened to be the break time, and there were many orphans playing games on the playground, some were playing football, some were playing rough.Suddenly everyone saw a ragged little beggar coming in from outside, and some naughty orphans ran over, yelling loudly and trying to drive him away: "Hey! What are you doing here, you dirty little beggar?"

"Get out, no one will give you money!" The prince was not timid at all, but said very imposingly: "Don't make noise, you all calm down! I am His Royal Highness, go to your dean quickly and tell him that Prince Edward is here." After hearing this, the orphans burst out laughing in unison. "This guy is crazy. Hey, hey!" "Hmph! If anyone dares to be rude..." As the prince spoke, he touched the belt with his hands, but he couldn't find the dagger hanging on the belt for a long time. A naughty child said with a smile: "Hey, did you see it just now? This guy really seems to think he has a sword hanging on his belt. It seems that maybe he is really a prince."

A child next to him seemed to be the leader of the group of orphans. He continued to mockingly said, "Yes, he must be the real prince. Let's salute the prince quickly." "Yes, yes, everyone hurry up and salute His Highness the Prince!" Under the call of the naughty leader, the orphans made exaggerated grimaces and really saluted the prince.Then everyone laughed unscrupulously. What's more, there was a child who suddenly pushed the prince's shoulder hard. The prince wobbled and nearly fell down. , there will be something for you to look at, tomorrow... Tomorrow, I will send someone to put you damn children in prison!"

The orphans just wanted to tease him, but they got really angry when they heard him yelling so loudly.The naughty leader said loudly: "Hey, he is too arrogant, everyone, come here and beat him up hard!" With an order, the orphans rushed over together, slamming their fists at the prince from all directions, raining fists on his body, and the taller orphans even hit the prince on the head.The orphans who couldn't beat the prince cheered loudly outside the enclosed circle. Faced with the sudden beating, the prince couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to swallow his anger and escape from the orphanage in a hurry.

The prince never thought that the children in the orphanage built by his father, King Henry VIII, would be so rude to him. The prince continued to wander the streets with his heavy legs. It was only at this point that he realized how dire his situation was.At this time, the prince felt physically and mentally exhausted, and his legs were weak.He thought: "If I keep wearing this tattered clothes, no one will admit that I belong to the prince. Where is the palace? They won't let me in, so what should I do?" The prince was thinking as he walked, and suddenly he thought: "Why don't you go and see Tom's house? Tom's family will be surprised when they hear the whole story, and they will send me back to the palace immediately."

After the prince made up his mind, he dragged his scarred body and began to look for the slums.He asked passers-by for directions, but many of them said they didn't know. Finally, he finally met a kind old man who patiently showed him the way, and he found it slowly. The prince remembered the ridicule and bullying by the orphans just now, and couldn't help but shed tears.However, he deserves to be the future king. Unlike his peers, he didn't think about how to take revenge on those orphans, but thought about the solution as he walked: "When I become a king in the future, I will not only let those orphans The orphans have no worries about food and clothing, and they must be educated. Only in this way can these children understand the principles of benevolence and kindness, and understand that bullying the weak and the poor is a very shameful act. Knowledge can awaken the conscience of these children , so that they have the correct judgment. In this world, there is nothing more terrible than ignorance. Yes, I will propose to the father when I go back, let these children be educated earlier..."

The prince thought as he walked.These realistic social problems were deeply realized only after the prince left the palace and entered the society. Finally, the prince finally found the slum, but it was already midnight, the surroundings were dark, and the lights of every house had been extinguished. I don't know when it began to rain in the sky, and the cold wind was blowing. The prince's thin and worn clothes could not keep out the cold. When the prince was walking along the narrow, dirty alley, suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed his neck viciously from behind. The prince looked up sideways and saw a big drunk man with a mouth full of wine Angrily, he roared fiercely at him: "Tom, where did you go wild and come back so late?" At this time, the prince remembered what Tom had said before, and he guessed that this person might be Tom's father——John Conti.Then the prince said, "Oh, you are Tom's father, aren't you?" "Hmph! Yes, I am your father. What do you want, you little bastard!" The prince cried sadly: "Please look at me seriously. I am not your son-Tom, I am Prince Edward!" "What? Are you Prince Edward?" John was taken aback, looked him up and down, and then sarcastically said with a sneer: "Yo! You son of a bitch, are you crazy? Who told you to play the crappy game of 'pretending to be a prince' every day, Are you finally in trouble now?" "No, it's not what you say. Please believe me, I'm really Prince Edward. Here's the thing..." "Bah, shut up, you're just daydreaming!" John wouldn't listen to his explanation. He slapped the prince across the ear, and then grabbed the prince's neck and shook it vigorously, shouting: "Hurry up and come back to me!" Home! Let me give you a good whip with a whip, and you'll be back to normal." John was very annoyed, and dragged the prince with all his strength into the low, shabby, dark hut. "Let go of me! I didn't lie to you! Let me go!" The more the prince struggled to defend himself, the harder John choked him.well!What will be the fate of the poor prince?
