Chapter 59
Su Xi-er bolted upright as soon as she heard him, acutely aware of his presence . He simply entered my room and asked me whether I have worn the red Chinese bodice . Don't tell me that he wants to strip off my clothes again to check?

"So on guard . Since this prince has pulled it off once today, I won't pull it off a second time . "
Su Xi-er really wanted to retort, "Who knows whether you will strip it off?"
"Tell me truthfully . Have you worn it?" Pei Qianhao slowly closed in on her until finally, he stood at her bedside while looking down at her .
"Prince Hao, this servant doesn't understand why you continue to come to my room over and over . "
Pei Qianhao's pitched rose he replied, "Over and over again? Then let this prince ask you, how many times altogether have I come here?"
Su Xi-er didn't answer anymore . She wouldn't have counted the number of times he came . She only felt that he had come too many times .

"You can't give an answer? Then why did you say 'over and over again'? Besides, n . o . body can control where this prince goes . " His voice was domineering and arrogant .
That's right, I can't control where he goes .
"Since you are unwilling to say, this prince naturally has a way . " Pei Qianhao bent down until their eyes were level .
Su Xi-er subconsciously retreated backwards when the handsome face in front of her was suddenly enlarged . Just as she had done so, a large hand reached for her waist . She could feel the warmth from Pei Qianhao's palm through her clothes .
As his lips were about to press onto hers, he suddenly stopped, the corners of his lips upturned and his eyes slightly narrowed . There was no sense of oppression, but his devilish and unrestrained manner made people unable to understand his intent .
"Tell this prince honestly whether you have worn it, and this prince will let you off . "

Su Xi-er looked at him . The problem is that I haven't worn it at all . Moreover, how is it his business as to whether I have worn it?
"Prince Hao, why did you instruct this servant to mend the Chinese bodice? Furthermore,why did you bestow the Chinese bodice to this servant?"
Pei Qianhao smiled . "Where did so many 'whys' come from? Can't this prince suddenly be carried away by a whim?"
"May this servant be so bold as to ask, did you also take in the 72 beauties of the Beauty Palace because you were suddenly carried away by a whim?"
Pei Qianhao gazed at her . No one has asked this question of hers before . Rather, no one has dared to do so . And yet, she is now the first person who has the guts to ask .
"Are you mentioning Beauty Palace because you regret it? You want to enter?" Before she could reply, Pei Qianhao continued .

"That does make sense; after all, compared to scrubbing chamber pots in the Palace Side Quarters and was . h . i . +ng clothes in the Laundry Service Bureau, days in the Beauty Palace are an enjoyment . However, it's too late for you to regret now . This prince won't take you into the Beauty Palace . "
Su Xi-er was delighted in her heart, but showed nothing on her face . She looked at him and sounded him out, "Really?"
"People are can't distinguish if this prince's words are genuine or fake, but this time, let this prince tell you explicitly: it's true . "
In an instant, Su Xi-er was greatly relieved as the enormous stone in her heart landed .
Suddenly, Pei Qianhao let go of her, turned around, and walked towards the wardrobe .
Opening it up, his eyes darted back and forth before finally landing on two white porcelain bottles .
Pei Qianhao took them individually, opened the covers and sniffed them . He could identify which bottle was his and which bottle Situ Li's in one try .
His eyebrows furrowed when he found a huge discrepancy in the amount of medicinal powder left in either bottle . The bottle Situ Li gave has less medicinal powder remaining, which indicates that it was used more .
He felt displeased in his heart . She is disdainful of the things I give?
Pei Qianhao put the white porcelain bottle given by Situ Li into his sleeves without saying a word .
Su Xi-er got up from the bed and stood at one side . From her angle, she couldn't see which bottle he had taken .
Pei Qianhao glanced at her . "You used little of the bottle this prince gave you, but so much of the bottle the Third Imperial Prince gave you . Are you really that disdainful of the things this prince gave you?"
