The Princess’s Path to the Throne 7

“Rise,” commanded Shen Qi, casually reclining on the chair previously occupied by Xie Mingwang. With a lazy posture, she lightly lifted her chin, her gaze lingering on Xie Mingwang’s face.

Xie Mingwang’s slender fingertips pinched the book, with a hint of powder on his nail bed. “I heard you have a good relationship with Lord Song Zhiming?”

“Lord Song and I share a close bond as teacher and student, so we often have interactions,” replied Shen Qi.

“Very well, tomorrow morning, accompany me to visit Lord Song,” she said.

Xie Mingwang: ???

His eyes flickered slightly. “May I ask why the Princess wishes to see Lord Song?”

“Well~ it’s not the right time for you to know about this matter,” she replied.

“When will I know, then?”

“When you become the top scholar, you will find out,” she said.

Shen Qi lightly toyed with the jade pendant at her waist, her enchanting peach blossom eyes casting a sidelong glance at Xie Mingwang, causing his breath to slightly falter.
