Consort of a Thousand Faces

fter leaving the palace.
Your Majesty, are you sure you want to search for her and get her back?”

“Of course, I promised Grand Tutor Liu to take care of her until she comes of age.
He gave his life for me, and I am very much indebted to him…”

Pei Qianhao interrupted him.
“If that’s what you think, you might as well not search for her.
It’s rather good for that little lass to live outside too.”

His words received Su Xi-er’s probing gaze.
“A-Jing, did you send someone to secretly search for Yinyin?”

“No, I didn’t.
How would this Prince have the time to do such a thing when I just arrived with you?” Pei Qianhao intentionally added.
“The imperial palace isn’t an ordinary place.
Isn’t it more carefree to live outside?”

Ning Lianchen understood his logic.
It’s my fault that Yinyin has suffered many grievances in the palace; I didn’t take care of her properly.
But I’m also worried about leaving her alone on the outside.
What if she gets deceived?

Su Xi-er’s gaze kept darting between Ning Lianchen and Pei Qianhao before she finally said, “I’ll help you make the decision.
Dispatch people to find Yinyin right away.
After we find her, she will return to Beimin with me.
I like this lass quite a lot.”

Ning Lianchen immediately refuted, “She can’t go back with you.”

I found her noisy when she was around, but now that she’s not here, I can’t help but feel that there’s something missing.

“Why can’t she go back with me? Lianchen, do you like her?” Su Xi-er had always been straightforward when talking to Ning Lianchen.

Ning Lianchen felt as if his throat was blocked, and was unable to answer.

How could I possibly like a 10-year-old girl? I’m just not used to her absence.
It’s that simple.

Pei Qianhao’s gaze deepened.
I have to admit that these two siblings are very dense when it comes to their feelings.
I kept hinting my feelings to Xi-er back then, but she still wasn’t moved.
Thankfully, I expended a lot of effort, and she finally became my woman.

“Lianchen, if you like Yinyin, it’s all the more important that you get her back.
She’s only six years younger than you; that’s nothing much.
Wouldn’t you say so, A-Jing?” Su Xi-er turned to look at Pei Qianhao.

Only then did Ning Lianchen realise that Su Xi-er had been calling Pei Qianhao ‘A-jing’.
That’s probably his pet name.
