Chapter 8 The Prince with a Changing Temperament (Update 2)

"Cough cough cough!"

Lu Zexu was choked and coughed violently, causing pain in his chest.

The accompanying eunuch chief steward Dequan was very considerate and patted Lu Zexu on the back and poured him tea, finally making Lu Zexu stop coughing.

Looking at the prince whose face was red from coughing, Lu Chengtian frowned, "I just asked a question, why are you so scared?"

"Even if there is really a god protecting you, so what? The crown prince of Daliang has the protection of gods, and our Daliang Dynasty will surely last for thousands of years!"

Lu Chengtian said with great pride.

If it was before, Lu Zexu would definitely be overjoyed by Lu Chengtian's recognition and would definitely work harder in the future.

Now, he waved his hands and took out a high-intensity flashlight from the backpack on the inside of the bed.

"Father, don't listen to their nonsense. They are not gods. This is a flashlight that can illuminate, just like candles and lanterns."

He demonstrated it, but the light was not very bright in broad daylight.

Looking at the blanket on the bed, he immediately thought of a solution. He picked up the blanket and raised it to cover Lu Chengtian's head.

Lu Chengtian, who was still observing the flashlight, suddenly felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and then he saw the face of the prince behind the flashlight.

At first glance, it looked a bit eerie and scary. He shuddered in his heart and was a little scared.

The instigator was totally unaware and was still introducing it excitedly, "Isn't it bright? It's especially useful at night, and it can shine very far!"

Lu Chengtian gritted his teeth, "In broad daylight, how disgraceful!" After being

scolded, Lu Zexu was not as panicked and scared as before, and did not take it seriously at all.

If you want to scold him, then scold him. His injury hasn't healed yet, and you can't punish him!

Lu Zexu lifted the blanket covering the two of them with one hand, put it aside, and said casually, "Okay, father, come and see it at night, you will feel it more deeply at night."

Lu Chengtian: "..." He

felt very aggrieved.

Obviously, his prince is not like this usually?

Why did his temperament change so much after encountering an assassination attempt?

He fell into deep doubt.

As for Lu Zexu, he continued to bury his head in cooking. The self-heating rice smelled so good!

The emperor was completely ignored by him.

Lu Chengtian was so angry that he laughed. Since he ascended the throne, he has been ignoring others, and no one has ever dared to ignore him like this!

He wants to see what the prince can do today?

Lu Chengtian said nothing and just looked at the prince.

As for Lu Zexu, he was addicted to cooking and had no interest in anything else.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.

The eunuch chief steward who was accompanying him didn't even dare to breathe. He had served the emperor for more than 30 years and was too familiar with the emperor's temper. He was angry.

In the past, the prince was vying to perform in front of the emperor, striving for perfection and excellence. What happened today? How dare he ignore the emperor?

How could he know that Lu Zexu, who had opened the door to a new world, had already given up the throne, and also did not want to compete for his father's favor and gain his father's approval.

The tight string in his head loosened, and naturally he did not need to be as cautious as before.

He just wanted to do what he wanted now!

Lu Chengtian wanted to put pressure on him in silence and let the prince bow his head first.

How could he know that the prince was concentrating on eating without saying a word, but he, watching the prince eating heartily, felt that his stomach was empty and was actually a little hungry.

Gurgle!

This sound was so embarrassing.

"Your Majesty, you haven't had lunch today, would you like to serve the meal?" As expected of the eunuch chief steward who had been in office for many years, he had a good eye.

Lu Chengtian knew that the best way to ease the embarrassment was to take advantage of the situation and let the palace maids set the table.

However, looking at the prince who was eating delicious food, he subconsciously asked, "What kind of food is this? Why have I never seen it before?"

"Self-heating rice. But there is only one box left."

Lu Zexu couldn't eat alone, so he took out the remaining ham, chocolate, and country eggs from his bag.

"These taste great."

Lu Chengtian was still a little hesitant at first. His diet also had regulations, and foreign food had to be tested for poison first.

However, seeing that the prince was reluctant but pretending to be generous, he inexplicably wanted to tease him, and picked up a piece of chocolate accurately and bit it.

Lu Zexu was so distressed that his heart was about to bleed. This was the last piece!

Lu Chengtian frowned at first, but then he found it more and more delicious the more he chewed. Few people knew that he loved sweets very much.

Only the chief eunuch on the side was surprised. Before the emperor ascended the throne, he was poisoned by a villain and almost died.

Since then, the emperor has not touched food from outside.

What happened this time?

The emperor actually ate the food given by the prince!!

He even ate it without testing it for poison.

It can be seen that the emperor trusts and values ​​the prince.

If this gets out, it is estimated that everyone will reconsider the position of the prince in the emperor's heart.

Seeing that the chocolate was getting less and less, Lu Zexu immediately sped up the speed of eating rice, then picked up a sausage, tore a hole directly on his mouth, and began to feast on it.

Having already missed the chocolate, he couldn't miss the ham again.

Lu Chengtian naturally saw through his little thoughts, and subconsciously sped up his eating speed, quickly occupying the country egg.

Dequan, who was serving on the side, concealed his shock. The emperor could be so childish at times?

Moreover, why didn't he realize before that their eating movements and expressions were so similar.

I can only say that they are really worthy of being father and son?

This is a rare warm meal moment for this royal father and son.

In the past, Lu Zexu cherished the time he spent with Lu Chengtian very much.

He lost his mother at a young age, and in this huge palace, his father was the only relative he had.

However, he was not his father's only relative.

There were countless beauties in the harem, as well as a series of princes and princesses. In addition to the busy official duties, the time and energy his father could devote to him were pitifully small.

Because of the small amount, Lu Zexu cherished it especially.

A meal like this with no outsiders, just the two of them, was something he had been looking forward to very much, but had never been able to get.

Unexpectedly, when he decided to give up everything and take another path, this wish came true.

It was really ironic.

Lu Zexu couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"So, you survived by relying on these things?" Lu Chengtian asked after he had consumed all the food.

Lu Zexu: "Yes, if it weren't for these, I would have drunk Meng Po soup by now."

"I have never heard of or seen these things before, how did you get them at the bottom of the cliff?" Lu Chengtian asked.
