He then scooped some yam soup into a bowl before handing it to her. “Drink this to nourish your body.” Su Xi-er took the bowl and smiled. “My body is in good condition, and I already ate with Ruo Yuan and Hong Li while you were gone. I’m only waiting for you now because I got hungry again.” Pei Qianhao …

When Tan Ge returned to the Imperial Library, she chanced upon Su Xi-er, Ruo Yuan, and Hong Li hanging the red silk. “We have to put up the red silk a few days before the wedding, only to take it down and put it back up if it rains. Luckily, it shouldn’t rain for the next few days. It’s not …

Although Su Xi-er was smiling, Situ Lin could discern that she was trying to sound him out. I can’t possibly admit that I heard it from the palace maids, right?

At this moment, a palace maid arrived outside of the inner chamber with a water basin. “Prince Hao, the water is here.” Pei Qianhao replied, “Bring it in.” Obeying his order, the palace maid entered with her head lowered, setting the basin on the rack before withdrawing. “This Prince will go out while you rinse your face.” This time, Pei …
