Feng Wu wanted to smack her own head.
Why did she have to be so nosy and ask after the teenager’s private life? Now, she became the one who was at a loss over what to say.
Jun Linyuan didn’t say anything, but he was looking in another direction.
A man was standing there, waiting for instructions.
It was none other than Feng himself.
Feng nodded, indicating that he had received the order.
Feng Wu was dumbfounded as the master and servant reached a tacit agreement; she had no idea what was going on.
But Jun Linyuan didn’t care if she understood or not. He picked her up and marched off.
“Hey, Jun Linyuan! What are you doing? I have legs. I can walk on my own. Let go of me —”
Of course, the crown prince wouldn’t let go of her. He wanted to pry her head open and find out what was inside.
The crown prince’s residence.
A lot of servants worked in the residence, and they all seemed to have been specially trained. Everyone walked swiftly and quietly without stopping for a second.
The crown prince liked things quiet, and he wanted the servants to stay out of sight.
Therefore, the wide and even paths of the residence were usually deserted.
News came from the tower building that His Royal Highness’s carriage was about to arrive.
Granny Gong immediately went out to greet him with hot towels.
The crown prince was a neat freak, and with all the dust outside, the first thing he always did when he arrived home was to clean his hands.
However, as Granny Gong laid out the hot water and towels, she saw the dark-faced crown prince quickly walk into the house with a person in his arms.
Jun Linyuan soon walked inside, leaving everyone behind.
The servant blinked in bewilderment as the crown prince walked away.
“Granny Gong?”
A maid next to Granny Gong spoke, and she sounded displeased. “I thought His Royal Highness always cleans his hands first before going inside. Why not today?”
The crown prince acted as if they didn’t exist.
Granny Gong glanced at the maid.
The empress dowager had sent over a few maids the other day and had left specific instructions that Bixi here should work as the crown prince’s chambermaid.
Of course, Granny Gong didn’t dare do that. She could only have Bixi stay close to her, so that she could see the crown prince often enough. Maybe she would get noticed one day that way.
But Granny Gong felt that the chances were very low.
She had to admit that Bixi was indeed very pretty.
But —
Granny Gong shook her head with a wry smile. She was only pretty, not stunning.
Compared with Feng Wu, Bixi was nothing.
Seeing the ambitious look on Bixi’s face, Granny Gong shook her head.
“Granny Gong, His Royal Highness hasn’t washed his hands yet. Let me bring these to him.”
After that, Bixi casually took the towels and had a younger maid pick up the hot water.
Granny Gong stared at her with a dark face. “Stop right there!”
“Granny Gong?” Bixi gave her an arrogant glance.
Before she came here, the empress dowager told her that she was a blessed girl. If she could give birth to a boy, she could become one of the crown prince’s senior concubines.
If she could become a senior concubine, there was a chance she could become an imperial consort in the future!
Granny Gong could sell the other maids however she wanted, but Bixi was someone the empress dowager had high hopes for.
Staring at her with cold eyes, Granny Gong told a younger maid to snatch the towels back.
“If you want to live, you’ll have to be a lot more obedient.”
After that —
