Needless to say, Feng Yanyan had to stay in his courtyard to recover from the sprain. His ankle was swollen for a few days, distressing his trio of servant girls to no end.

JuZi, being the oldest, knew this was unlikely to be just an accident so she was cold-faced to all of the beauties that visited the young master these days. The mei ren who went there all got scared of this first-ranked palace maid, especially Liu Weiwei who had a guilty conscience.

She merely went with the formalities and hurried away.

Today, it was Zhang Yunlei who visited. "Looks like the sprain is healing nicely."

These days, Feng Yanyan really didn't have the energy to socialize and say nice words. So he just nodded.

But the silence didn't seem to faze the other man. It even seemed he was more comfortable this way.

"Her highness is really worried about you. During the calligraphy lessons, she would inquire about your injury several times." Zhang Yunlei said after sipping tea.

It was obvious that it was only Long Tang who was asking about him. And not Long Sangyu.

"Well, Junzhu can rest assured." Feng Yanyan's pallid lips barely moved.

Beauty Zhang didn't know what made him this listless but it subtly made him bite the pastry with more gusto.

"Brother Feng, come to think of it. Serving Junzhu isn't so bad." He offered an understanding smile and a pat on the back.

Feng Yanyan finally had the energy to turn his head to him. With narrowed eyes, he snapped. "You came here just to convince me about some stupid thing?"

Zhang Yunlei looked frightened. "What are you saying, Brother Feng? Serving Junzhu... it's not a fool's endeavor!"

As if on cue, a high-pitched voice rang out.

"Insolent!"

Beauty Zhang immediately knelt on the floor and greeted. "Paying respect to Junzhu, Junwang."

Feng Yanyan glared at him before attempting to kneel. So it was like this. The protagonist was baring his teeth against Feng Yanyan.

He bit his lips, bearing the pain while kneeling.

"Explain yourself, Feng Yanyan." Ping Junwang's voice was thunderous. Of course, he would be mad. He heard someone slandering his niece.

Sweat started to soak Beauty Feng's back from the discomfort of his injury. Despite this, he only told the truth.

"Answering your Highness, Beauty Zhang brought up a delicate topic, hence I misspoke. How can Feng ever think of Junzhu? Her Majesty, the Empress sent us to the wangfu to be of service to wangye. So, this lowly Feng will only wait for wangye's decision."

Bringing up the Empress and King Wan Li was all he could think about at this moment.

Long Sangyu looked down from above Feng Yanyan's head.

The prince's distaste for him grew. Uttering Wan Li Wang when he obviously targeted him, Long Sangyu.

Such shamelessness.

Don't think that all the coquettish glances and the words he said inside this courtyard never reached his Highness' eyes and ears. Feng Yanyan could barely hide who he liked.

Of course, everyone who heard Feng Yanyan would think that he was head over heels for Ping Junwang.

Who would know that he only wanted the future position and not the person himself?
