Pei Qianhao let out a chuckle, his hands reaching around Su Xi-er’s waist as he pressed her against the desk .
Another wave of warm kisses came again, her hands hooking around his neck as she raised her head to meet him .
After planting a trail of kisses down her cheek to her neck, Pei Qianhao raised his head and caressed her hair with his right hand . “This Prince came here today to inform you that the date has been set . Seven days after the Winter Solstice palace banquet is an auspicious day for marriage . ”
Su Xi-er was moved . It looks like he has already arranged everything properly . “Prince Hao, where should this servant be before that?”

“Just stay in the Imperial Library . This Prince will handle everything . ”
Just stay in the Imperial Library? Don’t tell me that I’m going to marry from the Imperial Library?
“The invitation cards will be sent out after the palace banquet . This Prince will also invite Nanzhao’s Emperor . ” Pei Qianhao’s second statement naturally held some self-interest . He still felt uncomfortable when he recalled the sight of Su Xi-er and Ning Lianchen, ‘exchanging flirtatious gazes’ .
I want to let Nanzhao’s Emperor personally witness Su Xi-er marrying me .

However, he didn’t know that this was exactly what Su Xi-er wished for . As my only living family, it’s great that Lianchen will be able to come . I could only pass away tragically in my past life, but now he will be able to see me obtaining happiness .
Warmth surged forth from the recesses of her heart, and her face was wreathed in smiles, not knowing that it caused a certain someone’s displeasure again .
“You’re so happy when you hear about Nanzhao’s Emperor? This Prince suspects that you two knew each other very well in the past . ”
Su Xi-er felt her heart almost leaping out of her chest, but she soon regained her composure . “Prince Hao, you’ve already investigated this servant’s background, and know that I am a citizen of Beimin . If I was familiar with Nanzhao’s emperor, I wouldn’t be here right now . Things obviously don’t add up here . ”
Pei Qianhao was, of course, aware that everything she said was corroborated by facts . However, he had always believed in his intuition, and it had never led him astray before . Thus, it made him very perplexed .

“Stay in the Imperial Library and don’t go out, understand?” Pei Qianhao let go of her .
Su Xi-er nodded . “This servant won’t go anywhere . ”
“Not bad, you have been obedient these days . ” Pei Qianhao raised his hand and gently patted her head before walking out of the Calligraphy Pavilion .
He came here just to inform me about the marriage date so that I can rest assured . Su Xi-er looked down at the Lan Script copybooks on the desk, as well as the three characters of her name that he had written .
She traced her finger against the dried ink . His observations are meticulous, noticing minute details that many others don’t . The direction of the tip of the brush and thickness of the strokes have been grasped well .
15 minutes later, Chao Mu walked in and saw Su Xi-er staring at the Lan Script copybook . “Su Xi-er, I thought it’d be the Third Imperial Prince, not Prince Hao! I saw him and Grand Tutor Kong discussing something in the Imperial Library’s main hall, but I wasn’t close enough to hear their conversation . ”
Su Xi-er placed down the copybook . He told me to stay in the Imperial Library, and has now gone to look for Grand Tutor Kong . Could he be planning to ask Grand Tutor Kong to arrange a more presentable status for me?
“Su Xi-er, I’ll let you in on a secret . ” Chao Mu suddenly began acting mysteriously as she stood on tiptoes and moved to whisper in Su Xi-er’s ears . “Grand Tutor Kong is very erudite, and has been studying literature for his whole life . But which woman would like a geeky scholar? Many years have passed, but he has neither a wife nor children . ”
