Consort of a Thousand Faces - Chapter 382

CHAPTER 382 (2): FIRST TIME

Right after she closed her eyes, Pei Qianhao opened his . He had wanted nothing more than to have all of her in the past, but now that he had obtained it, he didn’t dare to be careless .  I will have to study that medical book properly to ensure that I don’t hurt her ever again .

The reason I hurt her was not only because I had no experience, but also because of the philtre fragrance . I never expected that Pei Yaran would have two bottles and hide one of them . Also, who is the man hiding in the Compassionate Peace Palace?

A subtle glint flickered across Pei Qianhao’s eyes, but it receded when he looked at Su Xi-er again .  This Prince will settle everything well . No one can hurt you .

With that, the two fell asleep in each other’s embrace, the chilly evening wind howling outside of the palace hall .

The next morning gave rise to a brilliant sunrise . The servants in the palace were delighted to greet the day when they felt the warmth of the sun on their skin .

Similar to yesterday, Pei Qianhao had breakfast with Su Xi-er before leaving the Dragon Heaven Palace .

Situ Lin only appeared after he saw that Pei Qianhao had left . He cheerily asked, “Imperial Aunt, after you and Imperial Uncle get married, can you come to the Dragon Heaven Palace often?”

Discerning the longing in his eyes, Su Xi-er asked, “Your Majesty, aren’t you scared of Prince Hao?” If I come here often in the future, Pei Qianhao will definitely tag along . Isn’t Situ Lin scared of that?

Situ Lin sighed . “Of course, I’ll be scared, but I’m more scared of being lonely . It is already winter, and the weather is getting colder and colder . Imperial Aunt, if you stay in the Prince Hao Residence all day long, Imperial Uncle will surely do the same . At that time, I’ll be left alone in the Dragon Heaven Palace . ” He sighed .

“Don’t furrow your brows . You look like an old man in a child’s body . ” Su Xi-er suddenly teased .

When Situ Lin saw her smiling, he immediately urged, “Come visit the palace often in the future, alright?”

Giving in to his pleas, Su Xi-er nodded in agreement . “Alright, but Your Majesty should be practising writing with Grand Tutor Kong right now . ”

Originally smiling in joy, Situ Lin’s spirits were crushed when he heard her reminder . “Fine, Grand Tutor Kong is coming soon . I’ll go back to the main hall to wait for him . ”

After watching Situ Lin leave, Su Xi-er walked out of the Dragon Heaven Palace, heading for the Imperial Library with Wu Ling trailing behind .

With Wu Ling following her around, the palace maids and eunuchs naturally gave a wide berth to Su Xi-er, and respectfully bowed as she passed on the palace path .

Even though some of the palace maids didn’t greet her, their bowing appearance was enough to show their respect .

The palace maid who Su Xi-er splashed with well water could only suppress her grievances and bend her knees as she watched Su Xi-er walk past .

All the while, Su Xi-er remained composed with her eyes kept on the road in front of her . Once she and Wu Ling disappeared from the palace path, an uproar broke out .

“Commander Wu is actually following behind Su Xi-er!”

“She is the future Princess Consort Hao . Prince Hao will definitely dispatch a capable person to protect her . ”

“I’m so envious of her . She rose from the Palace Side Quarters, and is now going to become Princess Consort Hao . ”

“We don’t have such fortune . Look at her beauty and talent . Which man wouldn’t like her? No wonder Prince Hao could even give up Commandery Princess Xie . ”

Praises for Su Xi-er filled the atmosphere .

Soon, Su Xi-er entered the Imperial Library while Wu Ling tactfully hid himself .

She was able to spot Tan Ge sweeping the courtyard with just a glance . With Chao Mu missing, her figure seemed especially lonely .

Tan Ge had many things weighing on her mind .  I used to sweep this path together with Chao Mu in the past . But now, Chao Mu is no longer around, leaving me alone here .
