"Princess, why don't you think about this carefully?"

Pei Feifei pondered for a moment, "I scattered all the fish food a few days ago, and the fish are fighting over it."

Fish food...

Fei Wan continued to ask, "Approximately how much?"

"Not much," Pei Feifei looked at her puzzledly, "just one bucket."

Feiwan:???

Isn’t that enough?

Fei Wan took a deep breath. She felt that if the fish were conscious, it would definitely cry and complain that its death was unfair.

Noticing her serious expression, Pei Feifei realized that she had gotten into trouble and started crying.

"It's over, it's over. Colorful koi are rare. Prince Brother spent a lot of effort to find them, and I killed them all."

As the saying goes, the heart has its own thoughts.

It will come true.

Fei Wan silently asked Pei Feifei to turn around, and Pei Feifei could see clearly that the person standing by the pool was Pei Xiuyan, but who else could it be?

Pei Feifei was frightened and in a panic, she stepped on the corner of Fei Wan's skirt.

Fei Wan only felt the corner of her skirt being pulled, and the next moment she fell directly from the rockery.

Fei Wan raised his head and saw only the belt with moon-white auspicious cloud pattern around his waist and the white jade pendant.

What’s even more infuriating is that the fifth princess Pei Feifei, who is an ally, ran away without a trace while shouting, “Fei Wan, please help me explain for my prince.”

Fei Wan maintained this posture and said awkwardly, "Long live Your Highness."

"No need for such a grand ceremony."

As if he was amused by her, Pei Xiuyan laughed softly and stretched out his hand to her. His hand was very beautiful, white and slender.

Fei Wan held him tightly, but when her hand just touched Pei Xiuyan's fingers, Pei Xiuyan was stunned, but still didn't say anything.

It was not until he stood up that Fei Wan realized what he had done.

Pei Xiuyan probably just wanted her to pull him up by the corner of his clothes, but out of inertia, she thought Pei Xiuyan was going to reach out and pull her up.

Pei Xiuyan withdrew his hand, the delicate touch of the girl's slender jade fingers seemed to still linger in his palm, his eyebrows and eyes were smiling,

"Miss Luo is indeed as unique as the rumors say."

Different…?

Fei Wan wished she could find a hole to crawl into. She guessed Pei Xiuyan, with his spoiled personality, would add another evaluation of her behavior as frivolous.

Fei Wan turned his gaze towards the pond, "Your Highness, you were just looking at the lotus leaves in the pond. What were you thinking about?"

"I was wondering...why did the colorful koi fish I found a while ago flip over for no apparent reason a few days ago?"

Fei Wan felt that she was... bringing up something that was not related to the topic.

Hearing the doubt in his tone, Fei Wan decided to cover up for Pei Feifei and laughed dryly: "Maybe it's the blessing of His Highness's palace that this koi has a chance of reincarnation."

In fact, I just ate too much and finished my sashimi.

"I heard it." Pei Xiuyan smiled, a cunning look sliding into his eyes.

Fei Wan was stunned for a moment before she realized that Pei Xiuyan had heard everything clearly.

Although she was teased, she was not angry.

Compared to Pei Xiuyan's previous courtesy, she still preferred the way he didn't need to hide anything.

"Since I can meet Miss Luo again in the palace, it is also fate."

Pei Xiuyan pointed to a pavilion not far away and said with a smile, "I just happened to have a chess game set up. If you don't mind, would you be willing to play a few games with me?"

Fei Wan thought about it quickly. In the plot, Pei Xiuyan rarely looked for anyone to play chess with.

There were some cases after he ascended the throne, but without exception, if he took a wrong step, he would be dragged out and beheaded.

As for what counts as a wrong turn, that depends on his mood.

Those who reject him will suffer the same fate.

"OK."

Fei Wan narrowed her eyes and agreed immediately.
