When he saw the visitor’s tall back, Patriarch Tan shuddered. It feels like I’ve seen him somewhere before! As the man turned around, Patriarch Tan was shocked to the point that he knelt down on the ground with a thud. “This peasant pays his respects to Prince Hao.” Pei Qianhao’s cold gaze landed on him, keeping silent for a long …

“Since that’s the case, I hope that you can continue living properly from now on.” Su Xi-er smiled back. Chao Mu eyes kept darting between the two of them before she finally reached out her hands to grab Su Xi-er and Tan Ge, pulling them together. “From now on, the Imperial Library will be Tan Ge’s home, so just treat …

Paying them no mind, Su Xi-er’s eyes swept across them in disdain before picking up her broom and continuing to sweep. Everyone who was originally fervently gossiping had all sealed their mouths shut and begun doing their work properly. Chao Mu’s eyes were filled with admiration. She patted Su Xi-er’s shoulder and whispered, “You’re so amazing to make them shut …

However, the imperial palace has always been a very sordid place. Regardless of how pure someone is, they will all be corrupted after staying here. Pei Yaran clenched her hands tightly around the bottle. Xie Yun, what right do you have to criticise me? Do you think that you’re so justified? In my opinion, the most despicable person is you! …

Don’t worry, Godfather.” Grand Tutor Kong waved his hand. “From now onwards, not only are you a court lady in the Imperial Library, you are also this old …

However, just as she did so, …

“Prince Hao, although you have arranged for this servant to have some status, the blood that flows in me…” Before she could finish her sentence, Pei Qianhao pinched her waist. “You’re not allowed to mention anything about lowly bloodlines. If they really want to go into the specifics of one’s birth, this Prince is nowhere near noble.” A cold glint …

The other palace maids agreed, and soon, compliments for Xie Liuli were all that could be heard. Su Xi-er continued staring ahead, watching as Pei Qianhao raise his wine cup and accepted Xie Liuli’s gesture. He then downed the cup of wine that she had poured with everyone’s gaze focused on him.
