Chapter 204 Almost Recognized
Surprised, Zhou Feng quickly turned around, his back to him, pretending to put on face powder.
The waiter quickly stepped forward and shielded Zhou Feng behind him, saying, "Sir, you can take a look at our newly released perfume."
As she spoke, she handed the fragrant balm to the emperor.
The emperor raised his eyes and looked past the waiter to continue looking at Zhou Feng.
The atmosphere in the entire shop became tense in an instant.
Zhou Feng clenched his fists, his heart pounding. He never expected that meeting his biological father again would be like this.
After a long silence, the emperor stared at Zhou Feng and asked, "What is your name?"
With his back to him, Zhou Feng replied, "My surname is Zhou."
The emperor asked again, "Who else is in your household?"
Zhou Feng replied coldly, "I have a younger brother and sister-in-law at home."
As he spoke, he winked at his waiter again.
The waiter quickly smiled and said, "Sir, this is our manager, Mr. Zhou."
The emperor looked up again at Zhou Feng and laughed, "Your shopkeeper really does look like an old friend of mine."
The old friend he was referring to was his son.
The emperor did not recognize Zhou Feng.
Four years is enough time for a boy to grow into a man.
Zhou Feng's facial features and height have changed significantly, and even his voice is completely different from before. In addition, he has been listening to Du Wanchun's advice and has slightly altered his appearance, making him even more different from before.
In addition, the emperor had shown little concern for Zhou Feng since he was five years old, and they only saw each other a few times a year.
So the emperor was only confused for a moment, and thought Zhou Feng was just a young shopkeeper who looked somewhat like his son.
Perhaps because of the guilt and longing she felt for those children, she unexpectedly felt that she had a connection with the young shopkeeper in front of her.
Hearing him say that, Zhou Feng guessed that he hadn't recognized him, and breathed a slight sigh of relief as he replied, "Several customers have said the same thing recently, so maybe I just have this kind of face."
The emperor smiled at him and asked, "Is your family from the capital?"
Zhou Feng replied, "No, my home is in a small village."
The emperor, who only half understood, took the perfume from the shop assistant and said with a smile, "I'll buy this perfume. If it works well, I'll come back to patronize you again."
As he spoke, he handed the waiter a piece of silver.
The waiter took it and said with a smile, "Thank you, sir."
Zhou Feng also turned sideways and bowed to him.
After the emperor left, he held the perfume and smelled it again and again, then said to the old eunuch beside him, "If my second son were still alive, he would probably be this age."
The old eunuch chuckled, "Your Majesty, did you think that person looked like the Second Prince?"
The emperor recalled Zhou Feng's appearance and said slowly, "At first glance, they do look somewhat alike, but upon closer inspection, their eyebrows and eyes are different, and their skin color is different. I remember that my second son looks like the empress, and his eyebrows and eyes should be more delicate. You saw it just now, and his eyebrows and eyes are sharper."
The old eunuch hesitated for a moment, then thought for a moment and said, "That's true. But Your Majesty, why were you so concerned about him just now?"
The emperor looked into the distance and sighed, saying, "To be honest, I really do miss them."
The old eunuch immediately understood that the emperor had mistaken the man from earlier for a substitute for his child.
The emperor continued walking forward, saying, "The incense from their shop is quite good. In a few days, send someone to buy some more for me."
The old eunuch nodded, then smiled and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Once the emperor left...
Zhou Feng slumped into a chair, letting out a long sigh of relief. After resting for a while, he immediately sent someone to secretly deliver a message to the Prince's residence, requesting to see the Third Prince.
Upon hearing that he was looking for him, the Third Prince immediately and secretly went to his residence at night.
During this time, Zhou Feng earned some money in the capital and bought a small house not far from the shop, which became their Zhou residence.
The Third Prince rushed into his room and asked, "Did His Majesty come to the shop today?"
