On the same night, State Duke Lu brought Jing Jiu and Gu Qing to the Royal Palace.
Royal Concubine Hu learned of this beforehand. She washed Jing Yao thoroughly without using any fragrant water or powder; she put on a light colored cloth herself and waited in her palace.
The boss of the Precious-Tree House had cleaned and dressed himself the same way back when Zhao Layue went to Nanhezhou. The mortals had a stereotypical impression of the immortal masters on Green Mountain, though it was mostly correct.
It was obvious that Jing Jiu was more satisfied with the little prince that day. He didn't say that much and asked the old maidservant to bright him to his bedroom to sleep.
The little prince Jing Yao had been reminded by his mother for a long time, so he couldn't help but feel nervous. As he bid farewell to Jing Jiu, he said "Grandmaster" with a trembling tone; but he appeared cute though.
Jing Jiu glanced at Gu Qing.
