Consort of a Thousand Faces

ou really look like someone ー Pei Yaran.” Su Xi-er slowly stated.
However, there was no response from Niu Niu.

“Hong Li, prepare a private room for her in the backyard.
We have to properly entertain her for these few days.”

“This servant obeys the order.” Hong Li tugged at Niu Niu a few times before forcefully dragging her away.

Watching Niu Niu’s departing figure, Su Xi-er wondered if she was really foolish.
This person must be Pei Yaran; there can’t be this many coincidences in the world.

After mulling it over for a while, she turned around to return to the main courtyard.
Before she could take another step though, she bumped into a large and cosy embrace, a familiar scent filling her nostrils.

“Xi-er, since when did you start walking in such a hasty manner?”

“A-Jing, Pei Yaran is back.
I don’t know if she’s really foolish or just pretending to be.”

Pei Qianhao caressed her, his eyes looking towards the direction Niu Niu had left in.
“We’ll know after we test her.”

Su Xi-er moved her body and raised her head to look at him.
“She entered the palace when she was 15, then became the Empress before exerting control over the entire imperial harem at the age of 18.
We can’t underestimate a woman like that.”

Looking at her sparkling eyes, Pei Qianhao knew that she already had a plan in mind.
“Xi-er, we’ll do as you like.”

“Really? Why don’t you ask me how I plan to execute the ruse? She’s your younger sister, after all.” Su Xi-er mischievously smiled.

“Xi-er, you’re jealous again?” Pei Qianhao teasingly smiled.

She didn’t get jealous when Zhen Yu pounced into my arms, but she got jealous right after Pei Yaran appeared.

“What do you mean by ‘again’? I’m not like you ー a vinegar jar.
Let me tell you, I plan to use a handsome man trap[1].”

Hearing the words ‘handsome man trap’, Pei Qianhao’s gaze deepened, and he flicked her forehead.
“I don’t know what’s stuffed in this brain of yours.”

Su Xi-er pouted.
“Did you even need to ask? Of course it’s stuffed with handsome men.”

Pei Qianhao lowered his head and whispered into her ear.
“This Prince wants to ask you: who is the handsome man you have in mind?”
