Chapter 16: Out of Favor

The news that both Ping Junwang and Junzhu ignored Feng Yanyan and made him kneel as punishment circulated in the Wan Li palace.

Before, Beauty Feng was the primary candidate to be a concubine. After this incident, the servants would naturally think his chances were low. If not for the little prestige JuZi and the others had amongst the palace maids, they were afraid the provisions given from the kitchen and warehouse would be pitiful now.

But Feng Yanyan, who was used to sumptuous food even back in the Feng family estate, couldn't bear to look at the dishes served to him.

"They're all vegetables." There was obvious dislike on his face.

"Young master is still recuperating, it's not good to eat greasy food." Pu Tao stepped up to euphemize their situation.

Feng Yanyan laughed, the gentle contours of his face appeared to be glowing. "Don't lie. Isn't it the consequences of falling out of favor? Though there was no favor in the first place."

Humans loved to assume things and play by their unknown rules.

Today, Beauty Feng seemingly lost the competition. Hence, the people below didn't need to curry his favor anymore. After all, he was unlikely to be a future master.

Knowing this, he couldn't blame anyone. Back in his former life, he also experienced being in the lower ranks and choosing which thigh to hug. It was understandable to want to survive and prosper.

Pu Tao who saw his reaction found a new level of respect for this young master Feng. He could stay magnanimous despite the situation. The other beauties described Feng mei ren as someone petty and mean but ever since staying beside him, Pu Tao had yet to see the evil side they spoke of.

The servant girl concluded that the other mei ren were probably just jealous of their Master Feng. Look at this gorgeous silhouette sitting by the window. Pu Tao was a woman but even she was envious of young master Feng's bearing and grace.

Feng Yanyan raised a brow. "What are you sighing around for? Isn't it just a few vegetables? If this courtyard gets ignored for a lifetime, I'll depend on you sisters to live."

Pu Tao went rigid from fright. "Young master, don't speak ill of yourself ah!"

She wanted to say more but what else could be said?

In this palace, wangye was cold. Junwang was friendly but distant at the same time. Junzhu would be married off in the future. Speaking in practical terms, there was no master who was easy to follow.

If the young master Feng wanted to enter any of this master's back courtyards with his abilities or the nonexistence thereof, it would be... bleak.

JuZi entered the room with Pu Tao looking depressed and the young master Feng picking at his food but still reluctantly eating it. She pursed her lips as she understood the little girl's worries.

Just now, apart from the eunuchs named by Junwang to serve Beauty Feng, more and more servants were quietly transferring to other courtyards.

It was a first occurrence in the wangfu but it wasn't the first time that JuZi heard of this kind of thing. Maids tend to talk among themselves and it's a common situation in other estates for servants to leave an unfavored master.

Be it a concubine who lost favor or a shu son or daughter without prospects. In more ridiculous scenarios, it would be the di wife if the master favored a concubine.

>Dí - 嫡 - first wife; so a di son is the son of the first wife. Shù - 庶 - born of a concubine.<

Young master Feng's plight is distressing. A flash of callous light flitted past the first-ranked maid's eyes. She could only wait.
