Chapter 602: His Highness’s Thoughts

The little boy’s thick eyebrows furrowed as his voice turned cold,
You don’t want to eat? If you’re not eating it then why did you keep staring at these things just now? If I had known it earlier, I wouldn’t have accepted them.

Does he mean that… he took those cakes because of me?
Instantly, Helian Wei Wei laughed and snatched the cakes back,
On my second thought, I think I should finish them since it’s a shame to waste food.


It’s up to you.
The little boy sat beside the bonfire and did not bother to throw her another glance.
Helian Wei Wei lowered her head and ate a piece. For the ones that tasted good, she would pick them out for him.


The deserted palace finally gained some warmth because of the presence of an extra person, which made this winter less cold than usual.
As the little boy woke up the next day, he found someone in his bed. She was different from him. as her whole body was warm. She even gave him the quilt, as if she was afraid that he might freeze at night.
There was a small casserole pot on the wooden table, and it was still steaming hot. Everything looked so delectable.
For a moment, the little boy felt that everything was so surreal.
He had never experienced warmth, apart from the summer where the palace was uncomfortably hot.
Most of the time it was cold here, including the food as well.
In his memories, those people would be constantly beaming with smiles just to please him when his grandfather was around.
However, once the Retired Emperor was gone, there was nothing left but mere cynicism.
Even when his hands were warmly clasped by someone just like now, he was not quite used to it too.
In fact, it would be more appropriate to say that he had yet to see through this woman in front of him.


What on earth was she approaching him for?
She even made up a story saying that the two of them would be together in the future…and blah, blah, blah.
The little boy moved his fingers and pressed the fringe on his forehead. His eyes slightly darkened.
The whole imperial palace knew that although he was a prince, but his presence was somehow insignificant.
This was why he could not understand her motives…
Helian Wei Wei noticed that he kept lying on the bed instead of getting up immediately after he woke up. Upon seeing his elegant lying posture and cute drowsy look, she went closer and kissed him.
The little boy was utterly speechless. And her habit of kissing people frequently. No woman will be as bold as her.
Baili Jia Jue could not help but to press against his aching forehead once again.

Come on, it’s time to get up.
Helian Wei Wei did not have any experience in taking care of children, but she had experienced her own childhood. Just by looking at His Highness’s appearance, he must be going through a growth spurt now. A balanced diet was all he needed,
I’ve made a pot of fish soup with yesterday’s leftover fish head. Your favorite dried mushrooms are in it as well. You woke up just in time, come and drink it while it’s still warm.

Baili Jia Jue paused,
I like to eat dried mushrooms?




You’ve always been confused about what you like to eat. But never mind, you will soon find out once you eat it.
Helian Wei Wei stood up as she spoke.
Glancing at the food on the wooden table, which included onion cakes and so on, the little boy asked lightly,
Where did you get all these?


The imperial kitchen.
Helian Wei Wei grinned,
No one noticed me, don’t worry! I’m very good at this.
The imperial kitchen staff would check for poison, but they would not check the food inside the big pot. Nobody would even notice if she took some food from here and there. Her mercenary background made it quite possible for her to avoid the guards without much difficulties.
The little boy did not continue asking. He already knew it from that kick of hers yesterday. It was not just any simple kick.
It was rather rare to see someone who could fight that skillfully.
Even the imperial guards in the imperial palace could not do such a fast and accurate side kick.

Try this. Does the soup taste fishy?
Helian Wei Wei ladled out a bowl of soup and handed it to him. His Highness liked to eat fish, but with a limited tolerance toward the fishy smell. Therefore, she added a lot of ingredients into the soup to eliminate the strong smell. Honey was to make the fish more tender where the ginger and white wine permeated it thoroughly. Some dried mushrooms were also added to enhance the taste, along with the casserole pot’s special thermal insulating effect coupled with odor removal. Thus, he should be able to drink this fish soup.
Baii Jia Jue took the bowl and tasted it. A sudden change swept across his nonchalant face, a faint smile appearing on it.
Woman, looks like you’re not entirely worthless at all.

Helian Wei Wei knew that he liked the soup. The way His Highness expressed his fondness was always different from others, so she was not going to argue with him.
Sitting on the wooden chair, Helian Wei Wei also served herself a bowl of fish soup. The soup was a little hot, but the hotter the soup, the better the taste.


The soup was boiled long enough until the fish bones had already dissolved. And with the combination of those tender dried mushrooms, both the texture and taste were just too good to be true!
Although the little boy did not say a word, but he drank three bowls in a row. With his little face turning rosy, his eyelashes appeared to be longer.
Helian Wei Wei held her chin while looking at him.
It’s delicious, isn’t? As long as you promise to go back with me, I’ll make it for you every day.

The little boy raised his eyes and wiped the corner of his lips with the handkerchief beside him,
You can still make it for me if you stay here.

Helian Wei Wei,
…
. Words shouldn’t be said like this, okay?

You cannot simply take things from the imperial kitchen. This casserole pot had been used once, so don’t keep it anymore.

It was then that two silhouettes, who were holding each other, came in from outside.
The two silhouettes were petite, and one of them was a girl in her palace maid outfit around the age of 10. Whereas the other one was in his guard outfit, and his knees were still bleeding.
Seeing the duo walking in, Helian Wei Wei raised her long and slender eyebrows.
The guard boy knelt on one knee and addressed Baili Jia Jue,
Your Highness.




Your leg is still injured, get up.

For some reason, Helian Wei Wei felt that Baili Jia Jue’s eyes darkened upon saying this, as if he had something hidden in his heart.
The palace maid also came over and said in a soft voice,
Your Highness, this is not Shadow’s fault. Her Majesty the Empress had no choice but to give him a mild beating and punish me to recite the buddhist scriptures for a night. After all, the Eldest Prince had no mercy on this and we owed him an explanation. Don’t you worry over this matter, Your Highness. We’re fine.


I understand.
Baili Jia Jue’s voice was very faint. All his emotions were concealed under his half-lowered eyes.
However, this was when Helian Wei Wei raised her head abruptly and glanced at the two kids. It turned out that the guard was Shadow.
If so, then isn’t this palace maid…Biluo?

Who is this lady?
Yun Biluo had also noticed the extra person in the palace. She tilted her head and cast her eyes on Helian Wei Wei, who was beside her.
