Chapter 1432: Jun Linyuan’s Unspoken Feelings

“So, has Miss Wu fallen out of favor?”

–

Someone listening quietly in the crowd smiled in satisfaction.

It was none other than Zhen Xia, the senior maid.

She had been laying low these days and trying not to be noticed. In fact, she worked for Zuo Qingluan and would tell the latter everything that was going on in the crown prince’s residence.

“Feng Wu, I didn’t expect you to fall out of favor so quickly. There I was, feeling so threatened by you. Heh.”

Zhen Xia smirked and left.

And she wasn’t the only maid in the crown prince’s residence to think like that; the other women secretly rejoiced and couldn’t wait to see Feng Wu embarra.s.s herself.

In the study.

Jun Linyuan sat on the couch next to the window and read some memorials to the throne.

Feng walked in and stood quietly by his side

Jun Linyuan hadn’t turned a page since Feng came back and was waiting for Feng to tell him what was going outside.

However…

Feng stood there without uttering a word, which baffled Jun Linyuan.

Frustrated, he threw the memorial away and rose to his feet.

After pacing for a moment, he couldn’t help but turn around and stare at Feng. However, he feigned an indifferent tone when he asked, “Did you just come back?”

Feng said, “Yes, Your Royal Highness.”

Jun Linyuan asked, “How’s that stupid girl doing? Has she finished cooking?”

Feng could see that Jun Linyuan was trying to hide his concern and he chose his words carefully.

After some thought, Feng gave him a wry smile. “Your Royal Highness, the task is really difficult. There are 3,000 people in this residence, and she’ll have to cook at least 10,000 dishes. Moreover, your food requires a careful combination of spiritual essence, and it’s less than two hours to the start of dinner… No mortal man would be able to achieve that in time.”

Jun Linyuan was a little dumbfounded when he heard that.

Rubbing his sculpted chin, he said, “I didn’t know it was going to be that difficult.”

Feng smiled in resignation. “It really is. The job is usually done by hundreds of cooks over a few hours, but you ordered Miss Wu to finish it all by herself in two hours. That was… Your Royal Highness, isn’t that a bit too much?”

Jun Linyuan was one of the smartest people in the empire, so when he could think straight again, he immediately realized how difficult the task was.

It took time to cook.

However, as arrogant as he was, he would never admit his fault.

Despite his concern, he smirked. “She has to take responsibility for what she did! I’ve already given her a light punishment! Hmph!”

Feng shook his head. The crown prince could be very stubborn.

He then asked casually, “Your Royal Highness, what did Miss Wu do to make you so angry?”

Jun Linyuan didn’t know what to say.

He couldn’t tell Feng that it was because Feng Wu had refused to listen when he wanted to talk. Feng would laugh at him if he told the truth; Jun Linyuan wouldn’t stand for such humiliation!

Jun Linyuan immediately went scarlet in the face and bellowed, “Are you curious?”

Feng knew his young master too well. He immediately realized that Jun Linyuan was angry from shame.

So he waved his hands repeatedly. “No, no, no. I’m not curious at all. I’ll go check on Miss Feng Wu.”

As he backed away, he gave Jun Linyuan an enquiring look.

“Just go!” Jun Linyuan thought.
