“I was just casually asking . I don’t plan on inviting anyone . ” Su Xi-er smilingly replied, afraid that she would rouse his suspicion .
The corners of Pei Qianhao’s mouth were suddenly curled up . “It’s indeed not appropriate for this Prince to invite envoys from other nations, but that doesn’t mean that it’s impossible . If you want it to be a grand procession, this Prince will follow your wishes . ”
Su Xi-er looked at him in surprise . I didn’t expect him to agree . Isn’t he afraid that the people will think that he’s plotting to seize the throne?
“This Prince will specially invite Nanzhao’s emperor . ” He naturally had his own reasons for doing so . This way, I’ll be able to nip any thoughts Nanzhao’s emperor may have in the bud .
As expected, Pei Qianhao had hit the nail on the head . Even if there seems to be some other reason behind his invitation, I’ll be happy as long as Lianchen can come .

The only remaining family I have in this world must come .
“Prince Hao, when will the wedding be held? You don’t have to invite this servant’s so-called maiden family members . ”
The original Su Xi-er had entered the imperial palace at such a young age that her relatives probably don’t remember her anymore . Why do we need to look for them?
“Since you have no maiden family, the betrothal gifts will simply be placed in the Prince Hao Residence . As for when the wedding will be announced, the Winter Solstice Banquet will be here in a few days . While everybody already knows that you are with this Prince, I will formally announce it then . ”
After observing her expression for a while, he finally finished his statement . “This Prince will be making a trip to the army barracks . ”
Su Xi-er nodded, not forgetting to remind him, “Don’t drink wine . ”

“Controlling this Prince?” Pei Qianhao raised his eyebrow, but his tone remained gentle .
“You were inebriated last night, and your whole body reeked of alcohol . ”
“This Prince won’t drink this time . Stay in the residence and don’t run around . ” Pei Qianhao lightly patted Su Xi-er’s head before exiting the main courtyard .
Su Xi-er entered her own room and tidied things up before going to the kitchen for breakfast .
Ruo Yuan rubbed her own round stomach . “I am going to find some manual work to do in the backyard later, or else I’ll get fat again . ”

“That’s a good idea; I’m also planning to find a broom and do a bit of sweeping . ” Hong Li propped her chin up .
Su Xi-er placed her bowl and chopsticks down . “The two of you can wash the bowls first . I’ll look for you later . ”
Ruo Yuan and Hong Li nodded . Although they didn’t know where she was going, they didn’t question her .
Su Xi-er went to the entrance of the Prince Hao Residence, where the guards began to say that she wasn’t allowed out . In the end, however, she used the excuse that Pei Qianhao had asked her to buy something, and was allowed to leave as long as she returned within a few hours .
She started heading towards a teahouse once she made it out onto the street . Su Xi-er had arranged to meet with Xie Liuli at this teahouse through the letter that Feng Changqing had delivered . She’ll come if she wants to resolve this matter .
In a private room on the second floor of the teahouse, Su Xi-er ordered a few dishes and tea before settling down to wait .
During that time, she saw Qin Ling walking on the streets . Isn’t he scared of being discovered while walking around in such an open manner?
Qin Ling was pacing about . Prince Yun had ordered for everyone to retreat from the capital, and that he would soon personally arrive in Beimin to bring Su Xi-er back .
This order was fine, but the problem was that several of his subordinates had gone missing . Even after ordering some others to investigate, he had yet to receive any news .
Unbeknownst to him, each one of his actions had been caught by Su Xi-er .
Only once Xie Liuli appeared did Su Xi-er retract her gaze .
