World Co-Cooking
Chapter 14
Oh, right, there was still a palace attendant with face. Zhou Fu recovered slightly from the blow and looked at her expectantly. "Can you raise your head and speak?"
Zhou Fu's shadow shone on her body. The beautiful palace maid obediently raised her head. That pear blossom in the rain was the most intoxicating. Her delicate and pitiful appearance made any man who saw her feel pity for her.
Zhou Fu didn't move. Zhao Gao quietly looked over and saw his expression of surprise as if he had found a treasure. He knew it wasn't good.
He hadn't thought that this woman's methods were so good!
Zhao Gao immediately misunderstood. In his mind, he imagined that this palace attendant was relying on her beauty to seduce the future emperor in a weak position. Regardless of whether she wanted to fly to a branch to become a phoenix or was sent by someone else to lure the new emperor to make a mistake during the national mourning, he would not let her off easily!
Zhou Fu was very happy. A person who had completely awakened without any stimulation.
This was definitely a reflection of great reference value.
He felt that he could dig deeper and see if he could dig out the secret of her self-awakening!
"Go comfort her," Zhou Fu said softly. Looking at this beautiful palace attendant's gaze, he revealed that he was very interested in her.
Zhao Gao's eyes flashed. The quality of a qualified and loyal eunuch already told him what to do next.
While Zhou Fu was completely unaware, the loyal dog Zhao Gao, who had been brainwashed by the two Lord Zhang's gods, had already decided to arrange a big surprise for him!
It was normal for His Highness to admire beauties when he was young. It would be better when he saw more beauties in the future. He would quietly see how long this palace attendant, who used all kinds of methods to climb onto the dragon bed, would be favored. However, there was still the coronation ceremony tomorrow. During the national mourning, the new emperor could not have a stain. Zhao Gao had already secretly decided to teach this palace attendant a lesson.
However, since His Highness was interested in this palace attendant, it would probably take three months before His Highness could fulfill his wish.
Unknowingly, the ignorant and pure child from before had already grown up.
Zhao Gao's mind was full of thoughts. One moment, he was happy that his child had grown up, and the next moment, he was depressed that he was about to be taken by a pig outside.
This Little Hall of his was probably still a virgin when it came to the matters between men and women. What a pure and innocent age! He had to keep a close eye on him so that he wouldn't be bewitched and polluted by those treacherous, cunning, and despicable women.
When Zhou Fu softened his voice, the air in the hall suddenly froze. The beautiful palace maid stiffened and approached Zhou Fu's bed as if she was sitting on pins and needles.
The Eighth Prince's eyes lit up when he saw her. He grabbed her calloused fingers and said, "Agong is here. There are so many people. I don't know any of them. I'm so scared."
"Eighth Prince, don't be afraid. His Highness the Crown Prince is here. Your fever won't subside. His Highness has invited a doctor to treat you." The servant's soft voice trembled. She seemed to be afraid, but also seemed to be charming.
This time, it wasn't just Zhao Gao who felt that this palace maid had bad intentions. Even the other attendants and doctors had strange expressions.
This woman was truly charming, a national beauty.
How could the beautiful palace maid not know everyone's strange expressions? She was born intelligent and knew that this was a disaster brought by her naturally charming body. Her heart was miserable. She didn't even dare to look at His Highness the Crown Prince's expression for fear that His Highness the Crown Prince would be interested in her.
Because she was naturally charming, she was almost sold into a brothel by her gambling addict father. The buying aunt in the harem liked her appearance and took her into the palace at a high price as a servant. She had followed the former Imperial Concubine He to do chores, waiting for the day that Emperor Zhou would like her and fight for the Imperial Concubine's favor. Imperial Concubine He was old and couldn't have a child, so she wanted to have one.
Who would have thought that in the end, Imperial Concubine He angered the Emperor and was banished to the Cold Palace. She was also a palace maid who did chores and was reassigned to the lowest level of work in the various palaces.
Coming to the Eighth Prince's side as a palace maid was a coincidence. From then on, she and the Eighth Prince depended on each other in this cold palace.
But was this possible?
Could it be that she couldn't feel His Highness the Crown Prince's gaze?
"Agong, don't be afraid. Su is also not afraid." Feeling the palace maid's cold and trembling hand holding his, the Eighth Prince comforted her instead. The palace maid almost cried on the spot when she heard this.
This was the child she had raised with her own hands. The hearts of the people in the palace of Zhou Wangdu were even colder. The previous Emperor was fickle and turned a blind eye to this concubine born of a prince whose mother died early. She had done her best to protect this child until now, but she was afraid that she wouldn't have the chance to take care of him in the future.
Hearing the palace maid say that the Crown Prince had arrived and had even called a medical officer for him, the Eighth Prince curiously looked over and blinked his eyes.
Zhou Fu saw that this young child was quite clever and also blinked his eyes.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Fu discovered something different.
Previously, the words "Zhou Su (Su)" were displayed.
The words above the Eighth Prince's head actually changed to "Gao Su (Zhou Su)".
Shocking!
Staring at each other, the two childish ghosts seemed to be competing to see who could stare longer. Not long after, the young child closed his eyes because his eyes were sore. His small mouth pouted, and he was still not convinced.
"All of you can leave," Zhou Fu dismissed everyone. When the palace servants left, they were worried sick at heart, but they had no choice but to stiffly walk out of the door. The cold gaze of the head of the inner palace was like a knife scraping against her. This made her not dare to take even half a step, even if she was worried about the eighth prince, it was not enough.
The Eighth Prince rubbed his sore eyes and shrank back a little, as if he was afraid of Zhou Fu's approach.
Zhou Fu's probing gaze made Gao Su break out in a cold sweat. As an adult who had lived for 32 years in his previous life and knew that he was now in a child's skin, he must not appear too mature. Otherwise, once he was discovered, he would die without a burial place.
Early on, when he was still a child, some memories that didn't belong to him would constantly flash in his mind. At that time, Zhou Su was still ignorant and didn't know anything. Now that he suddenly recovered the memories of his previous life due to a high fever, Gao Su was not relaxed. He was gentle and honest by nature and had never lied, but now he had to act out the various behaviors of a young child.
Fortunately, the childhood memories from a few years ago gave him some foundation to adapt to changing circumstances. Otherwise, he was really afraid that this young Crown Prince would see through something.
However, Zhou Fu's intuition was not something that ordinary people could infer. He always felt that the Eighth Prince was not afraid of him. Zhou Fu remembered the principle of seeing through but not revealing it. I know in my heart, but I won't say it. I'll just watch you perform.
"Imperial … brother, why do you keep staring at me?" The Eighth Prince asked timidly.
"Eighth Imperial Brother." A meaningful smile appeared on the young Crown Prince's face. "Coincidentally, before going to the Imperial Mausoleum, we were considered neighbors. You lived in the palace next to mine."
What did the Crown Prince mean?
Gao Su was confused. He observed the young boy's expression, but felt that he couldn't see through this teenager. He was secretly vigilant, but on the surface, he pretended to be ignorant and said, "Imperial Brother originally lived next to the West Front Palace?
I have never seen Imperial Brother even once. "
