Pei Qianhao didn't utter a word as he sat on the wooden chair and picked up the chopsticks to begin eating . Before he had even begun to chew, his eyebrows were already furrowed .

"Come, have a taste . " Pei Qianhao pa . s . sed the chopsticks to Su Xi-er .
"This servant can't take the chopsticks you have used, Prince Hao . " Su Xi-er declined indirectly .
Pei Qianhao however, was undeterred . Picking up a vegetable with the chopsticks, he simply stood up and forced Su Xi-er to open her mouth to swallow it .
In an instant, Su Xi-er knitted her eyebrows . Too salty .
"Isn't it delicious? Finish eating all three dishes . Consider it as this prince rewarding you . " He then placed the chopsticks into Su Xi-er's hand .

Su Xi-er looked at the three dishes . I can't finish eating all of this even if I wanted to . But I can't refuse even if I want to . Thus, she could only stare as Pei Qianhao walked out of the room .
Sitting on the now empty wooden chair, she pulled a long face as she began eating . Every dish is salty . How would it be possible for me to eat all of this? Why don't I . . . just secretly pour it out when he's not paying attention?
However, Pei Qianhao seemed to read her mind as his deep and low voice sounded from the inner chamber . "Finish eating everything . This prince will be checking . If this prince finds out that you have secretly thrown any out, there will be an even more severe punishment waiting . . "
With that, Su Xi-er's plan was ruined and she could only force herself to eat the dishes .
Approximately an hour later, Su Xi-er had run into a dead end . I can't finish . At the same time, there was also zero movement from the inner chamber . Is Pei Qianhao already resting?
The sun set as the moon slowly climbed into the night sky . The expression in Su Xi-er's eyes darkened before she finally, she placed her chopsticks down, wiped her mouth, and headed for the inner chamber .

She stopped outside the door and respectfully admitted, "Prince Hao, this servant is unable to eat any more . It's this servant's fault for not cooking well . Prince Hao, please go ahead and punish this servant; I will have no complaints . "
There was no sound from the inner chamber, yet Su Xi-er continued to stand outside the room door without moving or speaking .
Only after quite a long while did a deep and low voice sound from the inner chamber . "Come in . "
Fearing that she would see something she shouldn't see, Su Xi-er lowered her head as she walked in . She bent her knees and paid her respects . "This servant pays her respects to Prince Hao . "
"You have become surprisingly obedient after leaving the imperial palace . You won't have any complaints, no matter how this prince punishes you?" Pei Qianhao unhurriedly remarked in a calm tone .

Su Xi-er nodded . "I'll comply with however Prince Hao punishes me . "
It's fine as long as he doesn't make me continue eating . All I did was sprinkle a little salt, just like I had when I was still in Nanzhao . Who knew that it would have made everything so salty?
"Words are like spilt milk: they cannot be taken back . You should understand this principle . " Pei Qianhao softly said, following which his expression became devilish .
"Take off your clothes . All of them . " His tone was calm and measured; he was not joking .
This is his method of punishment . Su Xi-er's body stiffened and her breathing almost stopped . How could I have said that I would absolutely comply with any of his punishments with no complaints? How could I have forgotten that I have to be cautious of this person's perverted nature?
Pei Qianhao laid on his side at the bedside, his hand propping up his head as his raised eyebrows showed off a devilishly languid aura .
"There's no use crying over spilt milk," he reminded .
Su Xi-er raised her head to look at him, her lips firmly pursed . Her hands gradually moved upwards and started to undo the b . u . t . tons .
Slowly, the grey Chinese bodice was revealed, causing Pei Qianhao's expression to become unpleasant . She just had to wear a grey one .
When she reached the last b . u . t . ton, Su Xi-er fiercely flung the coa . r . s . e clothes onto the floor and looked straight at Pei Qianhao . "Prince Hao, are you satisfied?"
Pei Qianhao's gaze landed on the back of her shoulder which had a dark-coloured welt . Did she not use the medicinal powder I gave her? Otherwise, how could there still be a scar?
"Walk to this prince . " Pei Qianhao straightened his body with a solemn expression . The tinge of intimidation in his tone was enough to cause people to feel oppressed .
