Chapter 327.2: wardrobe-don

What Pei Qianhao didnt know was that Su Xi-er just so happened to be able to do all those things. Her needlework wasnt fantastic, but she knew the basics. As for the four arts, her calligraphy skill was amongst the best, and her skills in the other three were only slightly worse. As for leading troops and governing a country? It went without saying!

Su Xi-er smiled as she jested. Prince Hao, regardless of how clever this servant is, I still wouldnt be able to lead the troops and govern a country. This servant is very impressed by your skills in these aspects.

Her last sentence sincerely came from the bottom of her heart. She had already appreciated his talent when she was Ning Rulan, and this appreciation had only grown upon actually meeting him.

How impressed? Pei Qianhao questioned, evidently a little displeased about her glossing over it by just saying the word impressed.

Su Xi-er pondered over it for a while.

Sometimes, it is necessary to curry favour in an exaggerated fas.h.i.+on.

Hence, she smiled brightly. This servant is impressed from the bottom of my heart. In this whole wide world, Prince Hao stands at the apex, with no one ever surpa.s.sing you.

Her words had greatly pleased Pei Qianhao, and a smile formed at the corner of his lips. Su Xi-er, from what this Prince sees, your best talent lies in your speech.

This servant doesnt dare to accept the compliment. She turned to look outside the window where the moonlight illuminated the silent night.

When is Pei Qianhao going to leave?

Pei Qianhaos smile immediately disappeared, his delight changing to despondence.

Why is she still looking outside the window when I am right here?

Soon, Pei Qianhao stood up and asked in his low voice. Is the moonlight very pleasing to look at?

Su Xi-er looked at him with a slight smile. Prince Hao, this servant is extremely grateful that you took time out from your busy schedule to visit this servant.

I see, then are you so grateful that youve decided to turn away and admire the moon? Pei Qianhao continued for her as he approached her, finally stopping beside her without doing anything.

Prince Hao, should this servant have kept staring at you instead? Wouldnt you say that I am too fond of beauty? The word beauty was naturally referring to Pei Qianhaos handsome face.

Pei Qianhao felt dejected.

How can a mans das.h.i.+ng looks be described with beauty? Doesnt she know how to use another term instead?

Noticing Pei Qianhaos unhappiness, Su Xi-er praised, Prince Hao, you are the most handsome and mature man this servant has ever seen.

Su Xi-er saw Pei Qianhaos eyes relaxing, a visible sign that his mood had improved. All of a sudden, she was taken by the impression that he was like a small child that was trying to fight for her attention.

Prince Hao, whos Xie Liuli? Su Xi-er suddenly remembered what she had read from the book that she had dropped earlier at the Imperial Library, and tried to sound him out.

Commandery Prince Xies biological younger sister. Pei Qianhaos reply was curt, signalling that he didnt wish to speak about the Xie Family.

Su Xi-er could sense his reluctance to divulge more information, but still tried to press forward. Prince Hao, did you and Xie Liuli previously get engaged?

She only saw that Pei Qianhaos brows were slightly knitted together before they returned to normal. Where did you hear that from?

When this servant was airing out books today, I found an old book called Poetry Cla.s.sics. Some of its pages had their corners folded, and some underlined words on these pages suggested that you and Xie Liuli would be married. The bottom part even had your name written along with hers. Su Xi-er slowly recounted, taking note to observe Pei Qianhaos expression carefully.

A moment later, Pei Qianhaos gaze became unfathomable. That book should have long been destroyed. You believe random nonsense written by others?

Su Xi-er shook her head. This servant found it strange, which was why I asked you.

In the future, dont believe any theories about this Prince. You can only trust this Prince, do you understand? Pei Qianhao patted her head.

If thats the case, then the engagement must not have existed. But who wrote those words in Poetry Cla.s.sics then? Su Xi-er immediately felt a flick to her forehead, prompting her to raise a hand and rub it as she looked at Pei Qianhao.

Pei Qianhao reached out his arm and held her waist, his other hand gently caressing her forehead. How would this Prince know who wrote it? Its impossible to investigate, even if I wanted to do so. Must it be Xie Liuli who wrote it just because her name is there?
