CHAPTER 367 (1): IN THE IMPERIAL GARDEN

Pei Qianhao lowered his head, letting out a warm breath beside her ear. “Beimin used to only value military achievements in the past, but is slowly learning to value literature just as highly. Grand Tutor Kong’s position has been constantly rising due to this. As his goddaughter, your status can be considered acceptable.”

“Prince Hao, although you have arranged for this servant to have some status, the blood that flows in me…” Before she could finish her sentence, Pei Qianhao pinched her waist.

“You’re not allowed to mention anything about lowly bloodlines. If they really want to go into the specifics of one’s birth, this Prince is nowhere near noble.” A cold glint flickered past his eyes before his expression returned to normal.

“This servant will be going to the Imperial Garden this afternoon. Prince Hao, will you be publicly announcing that you’ll marry this servant?” Su Xi-er raised her head to look at him.

The corners of Pei Qianhao’s mouth curled up as the tone of his voice went up. “Can’t wait anymore? Don’t worry, this Prince naturally has things planned.”

It was at this moment that someone knocked on the door, and Chao Mu’s voice sounded. “Su Xi-er, come out and have lunch. We’ll be able to go to the Imperial Garden to watch the opera performances in four hours.”

Su Xi-er poked him. “Prince Hao, hide yourself.” She started to walk towards the door, not realising that she had said something wrong.

Before she could take a single step, however, she was pulled back by Pei Qianhao. “Why does this Prince have to hide? Are you scared of being seen by others? Is this Prince not presentable?”

His displeasure was made clear with his three consecutive questions.

Looking at him, Su Xi-er couldn’t help but feel like she was dealing with a child that had been left without any sweets; she could only try to coax him. “If others see you in a hut in the Imperial Kitchen, chaos will break out in the imperial palace.”

“Today, the imperial palace will break out in chaos sooner or later.” Pei Qianhao didn’t let go of Su Xi-er, instead embracing her even more tightly as he pushed her against the wall.
