Once everyone had cleared out, the main hall was deadly silent. Seeing that even Wei Mohai could only stand deferentially to the side, Wei Guang didn’t even dare to take a deep breath while watching the scene before him. Yun Ruofeng looked at Su Xi-er, the latter being snuggled up in Pei Qianhao’s arms without any movement. In this world, …

Yun Ruofeng sure knows how to pick the right timing! Compared to Ning Lianchen’s unhappiness, Pei Qianhao felt relaxed as he waved his hand to signal for Eunuch Fu to rise. “That’s great. This Prince shall head to the boat to rest.” He then looked towards Ning Lianchen before he continued, “The Imperial Household Landscape Garden of Nanzhao has such …

She was supposed to be repulsed by men, but she hadn’t rejected his advances just now. A smile appeared in the recesses of Pei Qianhao’s eyes. “Are you shy? Fine, let’s board the ship.” He then dragged Su Xi-er forward, his warm and broad hands holding onto hers, unwilling to let go. Pei Qianhao felt that holding her hand came …

“Let this Prince take another look.” Pei Qianhao spoke as he looked at the hickey on her shoulder. He couldn’t help but place a hand on it. “How about I imprint another one on you?” Su Xi-er shifted her body. “No, with how much you keep messing around with this servant, I am feeling tired.” She then turned on her …

Pei Yaran slowly stowed away the resentful expression before chuckling. Lifting one of her hands, she carefully examined her pink nails. “Will Elder Brother[*] Hao …

A gentle breeze was brushing past the surface of the lake, producing ripples on the otherwise pristine water; the event made Yun Ruofeng suddenly feel as if his heart was empty. Ning …

“Does it look nice?” Su Xi-er touched the jade green dangling ornament and asked Pei Qianhao. “It does.” Although they were two simple words, they were still a compliment that he had never spoken to a woman before. It feels like this hair ornament was waiting for Su Xi-er. Even if its lustre is a little lacking, her accompaniment makes …

The current Su Xi-er was different from her alluring display of last night. Her moves were quaint and slow, but every sway of her body was elegant. She perfectly kept with the rhythm of the music, slowly drawing her audience deeper into her spell. Ning Lianchen’s gaze was fixated on the osmanthus branch. He could almost make out its faint …

Thus, she tugged at his sleeve like a docile little bird. “Prince Hao, this servant wants to take a look at Nanzhao’s Imperial Household Landscape Garden.” “Beimin also has an Imperial Household Landscape Garden.
