CHAPTER 405 (1): LIANCHEN ARRIVES
“Is this how you write it?” Situ Li asked as he demonstrated the strokes on the cupboard .
Su Xi-er carefully observed his strokes before replying . “That’s correct . Do you still have other questions?”
“No, this Prince will leave now . It wouldn’t be good if Prince Hao found out about me being here . ” Situ Li took the Lan Script copybook back before closing it, glancing at Situ Lin before walking out of the main hall .
Once he was outside of the palace hall, he stowed the book away in his sleeve, the expression in his eyes still cold and devoid of emotions .
It was only once he turned the corner of the palace path that he saw Pei Qianhao coming from the other direction . It looks like he is going to the Dragon Heaven Palace . Ever since Xie Yun left the capital, it seems as if Prince Hao has become idle . However, he really is ruthless when he acts, bringing down Xie Yun’s general so quickly .
The two gradually approached one another, and Situ Li’s expression was as flat as his voice when he spoke up . “Prince Hao, you have been staying in the Dragon Heaven Palace instead of the Prince Hao Residence recently . ”
“This Prince will naturally return to my residence after the wedding . ” Pei Qianhao’s voice was cold and innately imposing .
“I see that you will be wherever your beautiful bride is, Prince Hao . This Prince won’t disturb you anymore then . ” Situ Li moved to the side and walked past Pei Qianhao .
Pei Qianhao’s brow was slightly furrowed . Situ Li rarely comes to the Dragon Heaven Palace, but he suddenly came today for some reason . Pei Qianhao hastened his pace as he headed for the Dragon Heaven Palace .
When he entered the main hall and found Situ Lin diligently practising his writing, Pei Qianhao finally felt gratified . He’s finally more sensible .
Situ Lin looked at Pei Qianhao, quickly speaking before the latter could say anything . “Imperial Aunt is in the side hall . Third Imperial Brother came and consulted Imperial Aunt about the Lan Script just now . ” He then continued with his practice .
Pei Qianhao turned around to head for the side hall without another word . After entering, he saw Su Xi-er arranging the wardrobe .
He couldn’t help but stop in his tracks and take in the sight of her taking out all the clothes and folding them before putting them back in the wardrobe . Even his tough and unyielding heart couldn’t help but soften as he watched, unable to bear disrupting the peaceful scene in front of him .
Just as Su Xi-er was finished, she finally noticed Pei Qianhao’s presence .
She smiled . “Do you never fold your clothes before you place them into the wardrobe?”
Pei Qianhao walked to her, and tightly embraced her with his strong arms . “Xi-er . ” The usual coldness in his voice was supplanted by tenderness .
Hearing his form of address, Su Xi-er felt a little unnatural . He usually calls me by my full name in a solemn or displeased manner . For him to suddenly call me Xi-er . . .
“The weather today isn’t good, so I didn’t go to the Imperial Library . That said, it didn’t feel right to just laze around, so I thought I would organise your wardrobe after seeing it full of clothes that haven’t been properly folded . ”
Men are usually more casual when it comes to folding clothes, and Pei Qianhao doesn’t like other women touching his things .
“Xi-er, all the wedding preparations are complete . We just have to wait for the auspicious day to arrive . ”
Su Xi-er raised her head to look at him, taking in the earnest look in his eyes as her heart melted once again . Without speaking, she returned his hug even more tightly . I won’t tell him my identity, because that is now a thing of a past . Right now, I am Su Xi-er; that is the identity I want to accompany him for a lifetime with .
“Xi-er, Nanzhao’s Emperor has been on his way, and will be here soon . Grand Tutor Liu’s daughter is also travelling with him . ” Pei Qianhao said as he planted a kiss on her forehead .
A trace of confusion flashed past Su Xi-er’s eyes . Why did he suddenly mention Lianchen? Not to mention he went into such detail, even telling me who Lianchen brought with him .
