In the Clear Breeze Court, Chu Nan looked at the faint light of dawn and complained in her heart. It was already time for breakfast, but no one had brought him food. Moreover, no one had brought him toiletries.
More importantly, he was now a captive captured by the " King of the Mountain " and a proud man. He couldn't take the initiative to beg for food, right? Wouldn't that destroy his glorious and great image?
"Since you want the martial arts divine charm, you definitely won't starve yourself to death. Forget it, I'll wait a little longer!”
After thinking for a moment, Chu Nan finally relaxed. He pretended to be calm as he stood beside the stone table and casually ground the ink.
Although it was quiet around him, he believed that someone was watching him. Yao Yue might know his every move. Therefore, he did not dare to act rashly, nor did he dare to speak carelessly.
However, he couldn't do nothing and be as lazy and casual as before he transmigrated. He was a scholar now, so he had to pretend to be a scholar. Therefore, he started grinding ink and thought about what to draw later.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he thought of a good idea. He raised his brush and began to draw on the rice paper. With just a few strokes, he outlined the outline of a beauty.
A moment later, a peerless beauty that could topple a nation appeared on the paper. Although this beauty had a hint of coldness between her brows, she was peerless and beautiful like an immortal. As the last stroke landed, the beauty in the painting seemed to be a real person, lifelike!
After he finished drawing, he wrote a poem: I wonder what her jade-like face looks like, like a frozen plum blossom in spring snow!
In the end, he wrote the words "Recite the Bright Moon" at the bottom of the signature.
The beauty in the painting was none other than Yao Yue, who had disguised herself as the daughter of a rich family. At that time, she had disguised herself as Mingyue and went to Jimin Medical Center for treatment. For this, she had even teased Chu Nan. However, in the end, she had given him a bag of silver. He still carried the embroidered silk bag with him until now, and there was still a lot of silver left in it.
The coin pouch was the same as the painting. Although it was useless now, he believed that it would come in handy one day.
As a professional gigolo, being attentive was a necessary skill!
Young Master, breakfast is here…!"
Just as he was staring at the beautiful woman in the painting, the more he looked, the more satisfied he became. Granny Iron Staff walked in with a bag of soft goods on her shoulder and a tray in her hand.
"Oh…!"
Seeing that someone had come in, Chu Nan pretended to be flustered and rolled up the painting that had just been air-dried, then stuffed it into her sleeve.
Granny Tie Zhang had already seen that he was painting, but she did not ask. She put the food on the stone bench, took off a bag of soft cloth from her shoulder, and handed it to him with a kind smile." There are clothes and things to wash up in here. If Young Master needs anything else, just tell me. I will be waiting in the side courtyard at any time. I will be at your service!"”
"Sorry to trouble you, old man. I came from a poor family and am used to living a hard life. I can cook and wash clothes. I can do all kinds of rough work and don't need someone to wait on me.| Wait, the old man did not need to wait in the side courtyard!”
Chu Nan followed the ancient etiquette and bowed her head with cupped hands. She looked polite.
Actually, he was not wrong. He was indeed born poor. Children from poor families took care of their families early, so he learned to do housework very early. After his parents died in a car accident, he did all the housework to take care of his grandmother who was hospitalized.
"Young Master, you don't have to be so polite. This old servant is only following orders. If I don't take good care of Young Master, this old servant won't be able to bear the consequences if…if the King blames me…!”
Granny Iron Staff almost said the word " Palace Master ". Fortunately, she reacted quickly and changed it to " Mountain King ". Otherwise, she would have exposed herself.
"Alright then, you should go and rest first. I don't need anyone to wait on me here.| Wait…! But don't worry, I won't say anything bad about the old man in front of the Mountain King!”
"Young Master is really kind-hearted. This old servant thanks Young Master…!”
Granny Iron Staff said sincerely, then turned around and left the Clear Breeze Court.
She had been in the Shifting Flower Palace for the longest time, and she had watched the two Palace Masters grow up.| She was used to being ordered around by the Palace Master all day long. Today, not only did Chu Nan not treat her as a servant, but she also respected her as an elder. This made her feel grateful and a trace of warmth in her heart.
After Granny Tie Zhang left, Chu Nan finished her breakfast and washed the bowls. She placed them on the stone bench and waited for Granny Tie Zhang to come over to collect them.
"Clang…!"
Not long after he finished his breakfast, he heard the melodious sound of a zither coming from outside. Judging from the sound, it didn't seem too far away.
Chu Nan, who had obtained the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting skills, had already drawn and written with a brush. However, he had never had the chance to use the zither and chess skills. When he suddenly heard the sound of the zither, he immediately felt an itch to use his skills. Thus, he walked out of the Clear Breeze Court and followed the sound of the zither to a courtyard.
In the quiet courtyard covered by fresh flowers, a handsome young man of fourteen or fifteen years old was playing the zither. Perhaps he was too engrossed in it, so when Chu Nan appeared at the door, the young man actually did not notice.
"Hua Wu Que…?"
Although this youth was very unfamiliar, Chu Nan didn't need to guess to know that this was definitely Hua Wu Que. Because in the Transforming Flower Palace, there was only one man, and he was Hua Wu Que.
Unfortunately, although this child was good-looking, his playing skills were really not up to par. Not only was he rusty, but the rhythm was also not well-coordinated. Compared to his playing skills, it was like heaven and earth.
