There were seven or eight people in the Fortune Pavilion!
The Crown Prince sat in the main seat. He was looking at a wooden house in his hand carefully. Zhou Weizong, who was holding a sword, stood behind him with a cold face. He looked at him as if he was an assassin, but his face was not kind.
On both sides of the table were Teacher Xiao and Teacher Sang from the academy. Beside Teacher Xiao sat Jiang Jinlu, one of the scholars in the capital.
The rankings of the scholars in the capital were divided by age. They had yet to reach the age of ceremony.
Opposite Jiang Jinlu, next to Master Sang, sat…
The fierce and unreasonable Xie Pinggang?!
As for Mo Chusheng, she was nervous. She stared at the things in these people’s hands and looked like she was throwing them a tantrum.
Meng Jifang’s feet froze.
There was no need to mention the other people behind him. At this moment, their faces seemed to have been frozen. They did not dare to show any expression at all. They looked at the people inside, and they did not even dare to breathe.
Meng Jifang gulped and coughed dryly, trying to make himself not be so cowardly and useless. “Mo Chusheng… W-When are we leaving?”
The moment he spoke, the Crown Prince’s hand froze.
The Crown Prince did not say anything, but Teacher Xiao frowned and said, “You’re the young master of the Meng family, right? You’re already so old, what kind of books have you read? Why don’t you even know some manners?”
It was true that his eldest senior sister was a Taoist master, but with her age and achievements, it was enough for him, Young Master Meng, to call her master, Teacher Mo, or Senior Mo…
If it really did not work out, he could also call her Master Mo, right?
Meng Jifang’s expression was complicated, and he was on the verge of breaking down.
This Mo Chusheng was too vicious!
They had agreed to go out to treat his illness, but she actually called so many people!
It was fine to call a few people, but who were these people?!
She clearly knew that he was the Fourth Prince’s man, but they still called the Crown Prince?! Was this not intentional?! Furthermore, he was a student of the Royal Academy, so he had to pay his respects to the teachers of the academy. In front of him, there were two teachers sitting there…
Meng Jifang had the temperament of a young master, but he also knew that as a student, he could not be arrogant in front of the teachers of the academy.
Otherwise, if word got out, he would be like Xie Pinggang, ridiculed by scholars, and would not have a good life!
Moreover, although he was a profligate, he also wanted a good future. A teacher was like a brother to a father. As long as he was still in the Royal Academy, he would not be rude to the teachers of the academy…
Meng Jifang was a little hesitant, feeling that he was really weak.
He turned to look at his friends, trying to boost his courage.
However…
“Greetings, Your Highness, the Crown Prince.” After hearing what Teacher Xiao said, they immediately bowed and cupped their hands. Then, they quickly said, “Greetings to Master Xie, Master Zhou, Teacher Xiao, Teacher Sang, Master Mo…”
They all looked terrified.
The corner of Meng Jifang’s mouth twitched twice, and he instantly felt that he had lost all his dignity.
He brought his brothers here to show off and let Master Mo treat him obediently. He did not want her to pull any tricks on him!
However, what happened in the end?!
“Rise.” Zhao Xuanjing glanced at them and said indifferently, “Why are you all here?”
“We… heard of Master Mo’s reputation and came here to see her. Now that we have seen her, we are astounded…”
They were full of nonsense.
In fact, they had not seen what Master Mo looked like yet.
However, it was enough to say nice things.
They really could not offend those present. At least on the surface, they had to serve them respectfully.
“Since you’ve seen her, why are you still standing there? Go back.” Zhao Xuanjing played it down and glanced at Meng Jifang. “We’re just going out of the city gate. We can’t be too ostentatious.”
