CHAPTER 288 (1): FENG CHANGQING SELECTED
Pei Qianhao’s patted Su Xi-er’s forehead . “Open your eyes and look at this Prince . ”
I’m just applying the powder to test its efficacy; does she have to look like I’m torturing her? Pei Qianhao was displeased .
Su Xi-er shook her head . “Prince Hao, quickly finish applying the powder so that this servant can put my clothes back on . ”
Pei Qianhao deliberately retracted his hand and stood up, silently watching her . Not hearing any movements, Su Xi-er slowly turned her head to discover his amused expression .
Looking at the small bottle in his hand, she reminded, “If you’re not going to apply anymore, this servant will be putting my clothes back on . ”
“Keep your eyes open . ” Pei Qianhao put a hand on her waist before flipping her over so that she was facing up .
With her whole body entirely exposed, Su Xi-er closed her eyes once more . Pei Qianhao ignored it as he reached out a hand to apply some of the powder on the scar on her arm . He then paused as his hand reached the softest part of a woman .
The sensation of the flower powder and his gentle massaging caused Su Xi-er’s body to shiver . She couldn’t help but ask, “Prince Hao, you’re still not done yet? Why are you taking so long?”
A glint appeared in Pei Qianhao’s eyes . I shall teach her a lesson today .
Even though he had already finished, he purposely denied it . “Not yet, there’s still a bit more . If you don’t want to open your eyes, make sure they remain tightly shut . ”
Su Xi-er honestly believed that he was going to be done soon and shut her eyes . However, her body jerked as the next sensation that came wasn’t that of the powder on her body, but a wet feeling on the softest part of her body . Her eyes shot open, only to find Pei Qianhao with his head lowered, his lips near a place they shouldn’t be .
Without any hesitation, Su Xi-er lifted her leg and swung it at Pei Qianhao . His only reaction was to raise his hand and catch it before the force from his lips became even more intense, causing Su Xi-er to tremble slightly .
At last, Pei Qianhao raised his head and laughed devilishly . “The power we made from grinding the Lingrui flowers is really not bad . With one bottle used up, your body now smells rather fragrant . ”
“Prince Hao, you’re shameless!” Su Xi-er chided coldly, trying her best to kick him .
Pei Qianhao got up and placed the bottle on the table . “This Prince will be at the flower pergola . Pack your luggage . ” He left her with these few words before stepping out of the room .
Su Xi-er immediately began to put on her clothes, knitting her brows when she saw the moist red area on her body . No man has ever done something like this to me before, yet Pei Qianhao did so without warning . He even seemed very familiar with his actions . It seems like he really understands women’s bodies .
Once she had finished putting on her clothes and the jade green dangling hair ornament, Su Xi-er left for the pergola . I’ll pack later . I need to know if Feng Changqing has been selected .
When Su Xi-er reached the pergola, it just so happened that it was Feng Changqing’s turn to be judged . “Prince Hao, this pot of Lingrui flowers did not wilt because of natural causes, but because of man-made damage . ” His hoarse voice was a surprise to the other four flower growers .
In fact, everyone had wanted to say such a thing . However, doing so would have implied that Prince Hao had deliberately damaged the Lingrui flowers!
There was a probing look in Pei Qianhao’s eyes as he pointed at the flower pot . “Tell me specifically, why are you sure that this was a result of sabotage?”
“Nanzhao’s soil is categorised into three types ー red, yellow, and black . The soil used for cultivating Lingrui is a mixture of red and black, and it definitely wouldn’t survive if placed in yellow soil . Yet, even though this pot of Lingrui flowers appears to have reddish-black soil on the surface, the bottom is full of yellow soil . It is obvious that someone has added it there . ”
