The paths were carefully paved with cobblestones but they seemed endless. Feng Yanyan wanted to cry. Why was the residence so far?! He just wanted to sleep. In the Great Palace, he traveled by sedan so he didn't have to walk anywhere. Here, he could only suffer.

Liu momo had already been sent to a guest courtyard. The ten beauties were escorted by two female servants to who knew where.

The other two that were gifted to the princess accompanied her Highness back to her residence.

Feng Yanyan was barely able to hold his grumbles when one of the servants said. "We've arrived."

Beauty Feng could see two plain establishments without plaques.

"The one on the right is for the females and the one on the left is for the males."

"A senior eunuch will go later to explain the palace rules."

The pair of yatou spoke in turns and left.

It seemed that not only Feng Yanyan was stunned. This courtyard that they spoke of was nothing more than servants' quarters. A single building with multiple small rooms.

The only redeeming quality is the adjoined veranda on the second floor. But even that looked shabby with vines climbing on the wooden rails.

Yes, the paper doors looked sturdy enough but the walls of the rooms looked thin. Would he hear someone snoring from the other room?

Feng Yanyan was this close to throwing a tantrum. Even if he was a shu son in his clan's house, he still had his own courtyard.

"Well. Certainly, one should be grateful for what one has." Zhang Yunlei calmly said this.

He was still looking pale from the injuries he received last night. When he said this, the other beauties couldn't complain anymore.

But Beauty Feng only harrumphed and stomped his way to the second floor, taking the left room.

"I can't believe this..." everyone could hear him mumble.

As his routine in the palace, Feng Yanyan took a nap. The servants who knocked on his door to deliver noon lunch didn't get any reply so they left. Because of his tiredness, he only woke up when the sun was about to set.

Hungry, he expected hot food to be served on the table.

But seeing the foreign room, he remembered he wasn't in Tanglin anymore. Feng Yanyan's delicate eyebrows were scrunched together.

This is tough. He was used to being spoiled.

As if reading his thoughts, there was a knock on the door. "Young master Feng..."

He gave them permission to enter.

To the servants who entered, they only saw a willowy silhouette behind the muslin bed curtains. Long yet dainty fingers brushed a layer of the sheer fabric aside. And the servants were met with hazy and curious round eyes.

These servants had seen their Ping Junwang multiple times but they had never been this captivated. And they hadn't even seen the full person yet!

The maids bowed. "Under his Highness' orders, these slaves will serve young master Feng."

"Hmm?" Feng Yanyan's brain was still foggy and it took a long while for him to process what they said.

The three girls' hearts almost melted when they heard the confused hum.
