Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2516 Mother’s Family

Ji Jiashu had only heard of it before, but after entering Fengyu Tower, he truly realized the prosperity of the Jiangnan red-light district.

The exterior of Fengyu Tower looks similar to Shanhaiju and Liuyun Tower, but once Ji Jiashu entered, he discovered a different world.

The outside is a restaurant, but the inside is completely Song Zhai's palace. A huge garden is built on the mountain, with pavilions and towers winding around like a maze, and lush vegetation. Although it is in the bustling city, it has the leisure and tranquility of living in seclusion in the mountains.

Ying Baoyue was still unconscious, but the housekeeper of Yuyang Palace had prepared a sedan chair for Ying Baoyue in advance, and everything was prepared very well.

Ji Jiashu and others followed the sedan chair all the way in, feeling as if they had entered a kingdom that belonged exclusively to the owner of Fengyu Tower.

He could now understand why Lin Shubai chose Zhongtang for both of his births.

This is the territory that belongs exclusively to Song Zhai, Lord Qionghua, and it is also the most solid and hidden fortress in the world.

If a stranger enters without a guide, no matter how high-level the practitioner is, he will definitely get lost.

Ji Jiashu looked around this secluded and green place.

I have to say, this place is really suitable for hiding a beautiful woman.

After climbing countless steps and turning countless corners, a small courtyard appeared before everyone.

All the houses in the yard are built with bamboo, which is very elegant and looks very much like the place where the ladies from the wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River would live.

"This is the room our master has prepared for Miss Baoyue. There is also a place for everyone to stay next to it," the butler smiled. "The room has been arranged. If you need anything, just knock on the jade chime at the head of the bed and someone will bring the things to you."

"Our host is still meeting guests. Please take a rest first. He will be here soon."

The guys who were carrying the sedan put down the sedan, and several equally neat and tidy maids came out from the courtyard. After they settled Ying Baoyue down to sleep in the room, they politely withdrew.

Ji Jiashu discovered that the servants in this Fengyu Tower were also different. Each of them seemed to have undergone rigorous training, working efficiently but not saying much, and never looking around.

After the serving maids left, the entire room returned to its state as if it were inside a carriage.

Fortunately, in the room that Song Zhai prepared for Ying Baoyue, in addition to the things used by the ladies in the boudoir, there were also several bookshelves, so that these grown men would not be idle. Ji Jiashu walked forward and flipped through the bookshelves. The bookshelves were filled with precious herbs and martial arts books, each of which seemed to have been carefully selected.

"This room..."

Ji Jiashu's eyes swept across the room, which was luxurious yet low-key and comfortable and in line with Ying Baoyue's preferences. He didn't know what to say.

Even though Zhong Tang had tremendous financial resources, it would take time to prepare so many rare treasures.

Could it be that Song Zhai had arranged this residence a long time ago, just waiting for Ying Baoyue to come back?

"It's like raising a daughter, right?"

Murong Feilan walked up to him and shrugged, "You really dote on her. You've prepared everything for her, even though this girl hasn't even thought about coming back once in the past year."

Ji Jiashu didn't know what to say. At this time, there was a noise on the bed. Ying Baoyue, who had been sleeping, coughed a few times and opened his eyes.

"Your Highness, you're awake!" Lady Officer Yao said in surprise.

Ji Jiashu turned around and, as expected, the Azure Dragon God who had been sitting in meditation at the end of the bed opened his eyes, glanced at the bed, and walked out of the room.

"I'm..."

Ying Baoyue covered his head and slowly sat up. Seeing the unfamiliar environment around him, questions emerged in his eyes.

Ji Jiashu felt something strange in his heart.

How could Ying Baoyue sleep so soundly? When I traveled with her before, no matter how badly injured she was or how deep she looked like she was sleeping, she would always stay awake and alert to changes in her surroundings.

Ying Baoyue had never been like this before, as if he had completely let down his guard and fell into a deep sleep, completely losing consciousness.

Even if Murong Feilan was with him, it was difficult to change the body's instincts in a short period of time. It was impossible for Ying Baoyue to change his sleeping habits so easily.

  Is there something wrong with her body? Or is there some powerful force that changed Ying Baoyue's body?

Ji Jiashu couldn't help but shudder and couldn't help but look in the direction where the Azure Dragon God left.

This man would leave every time Ying Baoyue woke up, and come back after she fell asleep, sitting at the end of her bed motionless.

Previously, Ji Jiashu thought that it was just that Azure Dragon God didn't want to meet the sober Ying Baoyue, but in this situation...

Could it be that the Azure Dragon God did something?

When "Li Ji" was around, Ying Baoyue always seemed to sleep particularly deeply.

Ji Jiashu's thoughts were in a mess when he suddenly heard footsteps outside the door.

The servants of Fengyu Tower were all practitioners, their realms were not the highest but they were not low, and they walked lightly. Ji Jiashu immediately heard the heavy footsteps of the person outside the door, a low-level practitioner.

This is……

Before Ji Jiashu could react, a slightly plump middle-aged man walked into the room.

Ji Jiashu had seen Song Zhai from afar once at a banquet. He remembered that the other party was not as handsome as he had imagined. He was fat and looked like a businessman even in sacrificial robes, which made the young him very disappointed.

But when they met this time, Ji Jiashu realized that he had been too short-sighted when he was a child.

Song Zhai had probably just rushed back from the palace. He was still wearing his official uniform. His body was still as round as ever, and the jewel-inlaid belt was stretched tightly around his fat belly.

But a person's grace and demeanor have nothing to do with their body shape.

Prince Song Zhai of Yuyang stood at the door, his bright black eyes looking at Ying Baoyue who was sitting on the bed with a smile.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

It’s been a long time indeed.

Ying Baoyue, who had just woken up, was still a little dazed, but when she saw the man standing at the door, her dazed eyes suddenly froze.

The atmosphere in the room changed instantly.

A lot of unspoken things flowed between them.

Ji Jiashu looked back left and right at the eye contact between the two.

For the first time, he saw the emotion of "kindness" in a man's eyes when he looked at Ying Baoyue.

Whether it was his father Ji Mo or the former Northern Wei imperial master Xu Canghai, when they looked at Ying Baoyue, their eyes were much more complicated and colder than Song Zhai's. It was like they were looking at an enemy, or a stand-in, as if they were always looking at another person through Ying Baoyue.

Only Song Zhai stood there, and in his eyes he could clearly see only Ying Baoyue. The warmth in his eyes was like the climate of the mid-Tang Dynasty, enveloping him like a tide.

Ji Jiashu remembered Murong Feilan's words, "It's just like raising a daughter," and suddenly he understood.

Song Zhai probably really treated Ying Baoyue as his daughter.

"Long time no see," Ying Baoyue stared into Song Zhai's eyes and clutched the quilt tightly, "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Song Zhai smiled, "but you don't look well."

Ying Baoyue smiled bitterly and touched the quilt on his body, "If it were good, I wouldn't be sent here."

"That's true."

Song Zhai walked to Ying Baoyue's bedside and took her pulse.

After a moment, he smiled and said, "Let me confirm one thing first."

"Xiao Yue, you are not pregnant, are you?"
