In fact, even if Mo Ling didn't send anyone to protect them, Yue Bai and the others would be fine in Xitai Tower, but it's always good to have someone to protect them.

Feng Jiuqing nodded obediently. Although he felt that Mo Ling seemed different today, he still fully disguised himself as a weak and helpless little white flower.

When Mo Ling met Feng Jiuqing's dependent gaze, his eyes flickered involuntarily, and a complex feeling emerged in his heart. Then, as if nothing had happened, he tapped Feng Jiuqing's nose.

Feng Jiuqing clearly felt the tip of his nose was slightly moist, and he looked up at Mo Ling's eyes, which were calm but clearly smiling. All these situations mixed together made him have a bad guess.

Based on his understanding of Mo Ling, he would not do such a childish thing, but his intuition has never been wrong. This person is most likely trying to make his face look like a tabby cat!

Feng Jiuqing's eyes were full of accusations as he said, "If you tap me again, I'll turn into a little cat, A'Yan!"

Mo Ling's hand paused, and his deep eyes fell on Feng Jiuqing's face. Feng Jiuqing was caught off guard and looked at him for a second, then looked away in panic.

Mo Ling took in everything and chuckled, "Very cute."

Cute? When Mo Ling couldn't see him, Feng Jiuqing raised his lips slightly. After so many years, it was really strange that someone would describe him as cute. I hope Yan'er can still think so after some time.

The wind blew from far away, sweeping the leaves on the ground into the air and swirling higher and higher. The direct sunlight on the grass and trees in the courtyard created waves of heat that made people feel irritated, while the green lotus leaves covered the entire pond, and the water was covered by the leaves, without even a splash of water.

Feng Jiuqing followed the attendants of Prince Zhao's mansion and took a winding path to a secluded courtyard. The layers of green shade reduced the summer heat, and the cool breeze took away the heat. It was a rare place to escape the summer heat.

Although King Zhao had neither the ability nor the character, he was indeed an expert in enjoying himself.

Feng Jiuqing's eyes widened slightly, and he uttered exclamations from time to time, looking like a typical person who has never seen the world.

The attendant who led the way looked at Feng Jiuqing with contempt, a country bumpkin who had never seen the world and had a face that looked like a fox. If not for this, I'm afraid such a person wouldn't even be able to enter the door of Prince Zhao's mansion. Thinking of this, the attendant became more confident, and more contemptuous and disdainful.

Feng Jiuqing pretended not to notice that the servant was rolling his eyes, and looked like a seriously curious baby, looking here and there, asking questions non-stop.

The servant would occasionally respond with a word or two, but most of the time he would simply ignore Feng Jiuqing. Feng Jiuqing didn't get angry. If the servant didn't answer this question, he would just ask the next one.

Fortunately, after walking for a while, we arrived at a room covered by gauze curtains, from which we could faintly hear the sound of flowing water.

Feng Jiuqing was about to speak when the attendant pointed at the white gauze and said before him, "This is top-quality brocade gauze. With your status, I'm afraid you'll never see one in your lifetime. Only the prince can use brocade gauze to surround the entire Qinglian Pond."

It turned out to be a bathing pool, and it was made of brocade yarn. Such extravagance is really the usual style of King Zhao. Feng Jiuqing stood there in a daze, looking as if he was stunned by surprise.

The attendant was very satisfied with Feng Jiuqing's appearance. He raised his chin and said proudly, "The water in the pond here is the living water that the prince brought from the back mountain. The bottom of the pond is connected to the lotus pond in the backyard."

"awesome!"

Feng Jiuqing gave a very halfhearted compliment and lowered his head as if he was shocked.

"That's good to know. I don't know what luck you have. This pond has just been built and the prince himself has never used it. You are getting a bargain."

"Really? Thank you very much, Your Highness. I have never used such a beautiful bath before."

The attendant snorted coldly with a fake smile: "This is the prince's reward, it is the blessing you have cultivated for several lifetimes! Aunt Gui is waiting inside, go in quickly!"

Blessing? Even His Majesty dared not use the word "favor" to reward him, so how could the King of Zhao be worthy? However, since it was a bathing pool, why was a nanny arranged? Was it just to serve him bathing? Shouldn't a servant be arranged normally?

Things are out of the ordinary and Feng Jiuqing asked in confusion, "Mammy?"

"Heh, what do people like you do? Do you need me to explain it to you?"

The attendant's chin was about to rise to the sky. The mockery and contempt on his face made Feng Jiuqing unable to pretend not to see it. Feng Jiuqing just wanted to play the role of a little white flower, not a soft persimmon. He lowered his head and looked at his fingers, and the smile on his face became brighter.

"What a pity! I am also a guest of the mansion. Tell me, if I complain to that distinguished guest, do you think he will believe you or me? After all, people like us may not be good at other things, but we are the best at being spoiled and arrogant."

"you!"

The servant pointed at Feng Jiuqing and was speechless. He seemed to not believe that Feng Jiuqing, who had been ridiculed by him all the way, dared to talk back to him.

Feng Jiuqing casually slapped his fingers aside, took two steps forward, lowered his head and looked directly into the servant's eyes and said, "We are all covered in mud and our true appearance cannot be seen. No one is nobler than the other. How come your eyes grow on top of your head? Are you born in the year of the frog?"

The servant was so angry that his face turned blue and he cursed Feng Jiuqing without thinking.

"How dare you! I am the chief attendant of the Zhao Wang family! I am totally different from a slut like you who does shady business!"

Feng Jiuqing narrowed his eyes slightly and his tone became much deeper.

"You just open your mouth and say dirty words. God gave you a mouth so that you can eat, but you use it to spray night fragrance. Even the guard dog three blocks away can be fainted by your suffocation!"

The servant was almost fainted by Feng Jiuqing's anger, and shouted in a rage: "Who the hell are you! How dare you threaten me? You stinky bitch from Xitai Tower, doing a shameful business, do you still want to establish a chastity archway?"

Feng Jiuqing was not at all flustered. He just stood there, and his servants felt a chill rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

Feng Jiuqing said calmly: "Xitai Tower is a restaurant, and it is full of actors who only sell their art but not their bodies. This is known throughout Jiangning."

The attendant had lost all his rationality and subconsciously retorted, "Bullshit! Xitai Tower is a den of whoredom! The people there are even more extravagant than those in brothels. I've seen it with my own eyes!"

Feng Jiuqing certainly knew that Xitai Tower did not do that kind of business on the surface, but secretly built an underground building to do that kind of business. But this kind of thing is not something an ordinary servant should know, but this servant actually saw it with his own eyes. It's interesting, it seems that this servant is not simple, Feng Jiuqing tried to continue to stimulate him to get more information.

"As the leader of Xitai Tower, I have never seen the kind of business you are talking about. You have been in Prince Zhao's Mansion for many years. Do you think you know more about it than me?"

"You've only been in Xitai Tower for a few days, what can you know? Not only do I know that Xitai Tower does shady business, I also know that those who often go to Xitai Tower can change Jiangning together! Not only Jiangning, but also Beijing--"

The attendant paused, and Feng Jiuqing asked with a look of fear but curiosity: "Jing what?"

The attendant knew he had said something wrong, and became angry and glared at Feng Jiuqing, saying, "Jing—go in!"

Then she stopped looking at Feng Jiuqing and shouted loudly inside: "Madam Gui, I'm leaving this man to you. The prince has ordered that you must train him well!"

After saying that, he pushed Feng Jiuqing, who staggered and almost fell to the ground. The attendant left arrogantly without looking back, and even snorted deliberately when he left.
