Chapter 1427: I Want to Tell You —
“Didn’t Granny Gong teach you what to do? You use the phoenix towel for the first wash, the bath towel for the second, and for the third…”
“Gosh, you can’t possibly be serious!” Feng Wu cut him off. “Even as a girl, I only use a single wash cloth when I take a bath. Why do you use a different cloth for each wash? Don’t you find that redundant?”
The crown prince pouted a little.
That was how Granny Gong had taught his servants since he was little.
Feng Wu went on, “Plus, this first one is made of high-quality cloud satin, which is a tribute from the Botu tribe, and the second is a tribute from the Wuming tribe… Jun Linyuan, please don’t tell me that you wash your face with all these towels.”
Jun Linyuan bit his lower lip.
Feng Wu said, “These five pieces of cloth alone are worth tens of thousands of gold taels, and that’s as valuable as ten top-grade spiritual stones! Jun Linyuan, you’re so wasteful!”
Turning around, Jun Linyuan frowned when he saw Feng Wu putting the used towels back onto the shelf. “What are you doing?”
Feng Wu said, “Obviously I’m putting back the used ones so that Granny Gong can fetch them later and have them washed.”
“Wash them?”
The idea had never occurred to Jun Linyuan, and he gave Feng Wu a strange look. “What needs to be washed?”
“What needs to be washed?”
Feng Wu also gave Jun Linyuan a strange look. “These towels need to be cleaned before they can be used again, don’t they?”
The crown prince stared at Feng Wu as if he was looking at a mad person. He had to reassure himself that she wasn’t insane before he frowned and said, “Throw them away.”
“What?” Feng Wu’s eyes widened. She even stuck her fingers in her ears to clean them out.
“Am I hearing things?”
“I’m not going to repeat myself again. Throw them away!” The crown prince’s face darkened.
Feng Wu jumped to her feet. “Jun Linyuan, what’s wrong with you?! These are very expensive materials sent here by various tribes as tribute. You can’t buy them anywhere! You’re throwing them away after one use?!”
The crown prince said, “Yup.”
Feng Wu almost choked. “Do you know that these five pieces are worth at least ten top-grade spiritual stones?”
Jun Linyuan said proudly, “Yes.”
Feng Wu said, “Ten top-grade spiritual stones! People out there can bash each other’s head in for a mere low-grade spiritual stone, and you’re throwing away ten top-grade ones after each bath!”
The crown prince said confidently, “That’s because I’m the crown prince.”
So, that was how a crown prince was supposed to be treated.
Feng Wu didn’t know what to say.
She vented her sarcasm quietly. “Why should they bother fighting over a low-grade spiritual stone if they can just go digging in the trash can of the crown prince’s residence?”
The crown prince glanced at Feng Wu and said, “They’ll be burned. Nothing will get out.”
Feng Wu was speechless. It had to be done. Otherwise, it was possible that people would pay hundreds of top-grade spiritual stones for a bath towel that had been used by Jun Linyuan.
Some comparisons just couldn’t be made.
After Jun Linyuan’s retort, Feng Wu couldn’t be bothered to talk to him anymore. She lowered her head and focused on scrubbing his back.
Scars criss-crossed over Jun Linyuan’s fair skin. Some were from whips, some were left by swords, and some were from other weapons.
Feng Wu knew that there had to be a complicated story behind each one, but she also knew that the more she knew, the more danger she would be in. Therefore, she remained silent.
Instead —
Jun Linyuan casually asked, “Aren’t you curious?”
Still scrubbing his back with her head lowered, Feng Wu asked, “About what?”
“Aren’t you curious why a crown prince has so many scars on him?” Jun Linyuan seemed to be in the mood to chat again.
