Chapter 99
Along the way, the maidservant didn't dare to speak, but was both curious and envious of Su Xi-er . There's actually such a beautiful woman in this world . Every single movement of hers stirs the heartstrings of people .

What's even more impressive is that she's not nervous even when facing Prince Yun and Prince Hao . She even managed to maintain a cool and placid demeanour while the maidservant standing behind her was so fl . u . s . tered and emotional that she didn't even dare to breathe, yet Su Xi-er easily handled it with finesse .

"Is this the place?" Su Xi-er pointed at the row of side rooms

The maidservant immediately recovered from her stupor and shook her head repeatedly . "No, if we continue walking further ahead, there will be a standalone room that is specially for entertaining n . o . bles . If you follow me, we'll reach it very soon . "

The maidservant then took the lead, and within less than ten minutes, the two of them arrived in front of said room .

"This is the place . You can tidy it up a little . If you need anything, let me know and I can bring it over . "

Su Xi-er waved her hand and placed the cloth bundle down . "There's no need for that . I'm a servant, not a master . "

The maidservant couldn't help but laugh . "How can you be a servant? From Prince Hao's expression and his tone, all of us could tell that you will obtain the position of consort in the future . "

Su Xi-er slowly replied, "You're thinking too much . If Prince Hao liked me, why would he suggest bestowing me to Prince Yun . "

"Well, Prince Yun and Prince Hao are roughly the same, aren't they? Both of them like you . No matter who you follow, you'll be able to lead a much better life than that of a servant girl . "

Su Xi-er waved her hand . "That's enough, you may withdraw . "

The maidservant could see that Su Xi-er was displeased and immediately nodded . "Alright, I'll be going out now . "

The door was then closed, leaving Su Xi-er alone .

She sat on a wooden stool, her eyes were fixed on the table's surface . She could clearly sense Yun Ruofeng's probing gaze on her that entire time; a gaze loaded with an inexplicable feeling .

The resentment that was overflowing from Su Xi-er's eyes instantly dissipated as the corners of her mouth were raised . She let out a broken chuckle, tinged with a sense of wickedness .

It was unclear how much time had pa . s . sed before Su Xi-er began tidying up the room . It was clearly already immaculate, but she still swept and wiped the whole place down . When she finally got around to laying out the quilt, she found that the sun had been replaced by a slowly ascending crescent moon .

There's a crescent moon and no stars . A crescent moon represents imperfection, while no stars signify that the weather is going to take a turn for the worse .

Su Xi-er walked out of the room door and raised her head to look at the boundless night sky, her heart gradually relaxing . I'm already within Nanzhao's borders .

Pei Qianhao happened to spot her peaceful appearance, causing him to involuntarily slow his footsteps until she discovered his presence .

"This servant pays her respects to Prince Hao . "

Pei Qianhao stopped before her and pa . s . sed a white bowl to her . "Eat . "

Su Xi-er lowered her head to take a look . It's actually Lotus Root Salad .

Seeing that she wasn't eating, Pei Qianhao spoke again . "Don't you like Lotus Root Salad? Quickly eat it . "

Su Xi-er nodded before proceeding to pick up the spoon and beginning to eat . She did like Lotus Root Salad, but such a nouris . h . i . +ng food couldn't be consumed in excessive amounts . Moderation in all things .

"Wipe your mouth once you're done eating . Afterwards, dance for this prince under the moonlight in this courtyard . " Pei Qianhao's expression was earnest and his tone didn't sound like he was joking .

Su Xi-er's hand that was holding the spoon stiffened . This really proves that, "After dinner comes the reckoning . " Since I have accepted his hospitality, it is difficult for me to reject him .

"Considering that you finished it so quickly, it seems that you really do like Lotus Root Salad . Is it really that delicious?" Pei Qianhao's gaze swept towards the white bowl, only to find that it was already empty .

Su Xi-er didn't respond . She took out a handkerchief from her sleeves to wipe her mouth before carrying the bowl into the room and placing it on the table .

Before she could turn around, Pei Qianhao's voice could be heard . "Su Xi-er, come out and dance . "

Su Xi-er pursed her lips . She knew that once his temper flared up, he wouldn't be taking it back . I can't escape from dancing this time .

Hence, she walked out of the room calmly and bowed as she stood in the courtyard . "This servant will obey Prince Hao's orders . Hope you won't laugh at me . "
