Su Xi-er picked up the steamed cornbread. “Prince Hao, I didn’t expect you to know what this is. Impoverished families are too familiar with steamed cornbread, but some aren’t even as fortunate as that.” “This prince naturally knows about steamed cornbread. Did you think that this prince only sits idly in the imperial palace and enjoy the fruits of others? …

An oppressive air began to surround Pei Qianhao as this thought crossed his mind, making it seem as if the surrounding atmosphere had stagnated. Pushing open the tightly shut door however, there was not a soul in sight as Pei Qianhao entered. If she’s not in the boiler room, where has she gone? Has she hidden because she is aware …

When she didn’t hold it steadily, the water in the wooden basin spilt and trickled down her cheeks, resulting in a pool of water stains beside her legs. Shui Yinglian avoided speaking to Su Xi-er when she caught sight of her, choosing instead to shift her gaze away, still holding the wooden basin up. Su Xi-er walked to her side, …

Shui Yinglian immediately prostrated on the ground and begged in a quivering voice, ignoring the icy water seeping into her hair. “Prince Hao, please forgive me…” Her voice faltered.

Did you descend from the sky or…?” Faced with the woman innocent naivete, Su Xi-er didn’t know how she should answer. She actually suggested that I descended from the sky… “All you …

“You are a maidservant waiting upon Prince Hao, his personal maidservant, and in the future you will be…” The words ‘room concubine servant’ were stuck in the woman’s throat. Her mood gradually fluctuated and jealousy flashed in her eyes. Su Xi-er sensed the change in the expression in the woman’s eyes. She has definitely misunderstood the relationship between Prince Hao …

“Come, have a taste.” Pei Qianhao passed the chopsticks to Su Xi-er. “This servant can’t take the chopsticks you have used, Prince Hao.” Su Xi-er declined indirectly. Pei Qianhao however, was undeterred. Picking up a vegetable with the chopsticks, he simply stood up and forced Su Xi-er to open her mouth to swallow it. In an instant, Su Xi-er knitted …
