Consort of a Thousand Faces

p> 

“This servant has said…” Su Xi-er knew what he meant. If I enter the residence and become his woman, I must enter as Princess Consort Hao.

Before she could finish, Pei Qianhao assured, “This Prince won’t treat you badly.
This Prince will give you everything you want.”

Everything I want includes the status of Princess Consort Hao. Su Xi-er’s heart skipped a beat. Will he really do it?

Pei Qianhao chuckled when he saw the surprise in her eyes.
“What? Are you scared that this Prince is lying?”

Su Xi-er shook her head.
“No, I just don’t dare believe it.
Your current situation…” A person who thinks about the big picture won’t do something like this so recklessly.

“You even care about this Prince’s situation?” Pei Qianhao smiled and slowly walked towards his room.
“Follow.”

Su Xi-er was rooted to the spot for a moment before deciding to follow him.

The main room was spacious, but sparsely decorated.
It seemed a bit lonely and bleak.

“This Prince has always stayed in this room, so the decorations are simple.
If you think that it’s a bit barren, you can add whatever you’d like to make it more to a woman’s liking…” Before he could finish, Pei Qianhao felt his hand being grasped by one that was far more small and delicate.

“Prince Hao, how are you going to face all the court officials? How will you deal with the Pei and Xie families?”

“The Xie Family?” Pei Qianhao’s gaze became profound. I can understand that I need to face the court officials and the Pei Family.
But the Xie Family? Could it be that she already knows?

Su Xi-er’s eyes curved into a smile.
“You were engaged to Commandery Prince Xie’s younger sister, Xie Liuli.
This servant knows that what was written in that Poetry Classics book was true.
Why else would you secretly go out at night to destroy it?”

Pei Qianhao stared at her for a long long while before he replied, “Jealous?” 

“Prince Hao, was what you told this servant today sincere?” Su Xi-er gazed at him for a long time.
Her heart suddenly became soft as she thought about everything that he had quietly done for her. He could easily have taken me by force, but he has been controlling himself all this time.
