She could not have gotten His Highness for herself.
All of this was possible as she had intensively studied the âWife Courting Tipsâ.
âIâm hungry.â After teasing the little palace maids for a while, Helian Wei Wei began whining again. With her chin resting on the dressing table and one hand on her stomach, she looked pitiful but cool, saying, âI want pork trotters, the kind that has been stewed...â
The little palace maid still had to draw another Helian Wei Weiâs eyebrows. When she looked at her, she was reminded of her coy elder sister. She turned to Qing Zhan beside her and laughingly said, âSister Qing Zhan, look at the Princess Consort...â
A gust of bitingly cold wind brushed against her ear when she spoke.
Itâs Master!
âYour Highness!â The palace maids hastily kneeled to the ground.
Without looking at them, Baili Jia Jue squeezed Helian Wei Weiâs chin and teased, âAre you baring your claws again?â
âNo.â Helian Wei Wei pushed him aside as she yawned, trying to stall for time, âIâm hungry.â
Baili Jia Jue laughed as he took a fur coat from the palace maids. Then, he wrapped her in it and carried her up, saying, âHalf an hour ago, you ate a plate of steamed fish by yourself. That was enough to feed three people.â
âBut now, Iâm hungry again,â Helian Wei Wei said earnestly, trying to wriggle her face out of the cover of the fur coat.
However, Baili Jia Jue pushed her back into it.
Helian Wei Wei was not pleased and asked, âWhat are you doing?â
âYour face is too ugly, some touching up is needed.â Baili Jia Jue said this with a straight face. Then, he took out some powdered black pearls and placed some powder onto her face. Only then, he felt satisfied and let her down.
Looking at herself in the copper mirror, Helian Wei Weiâs blackened face appeared, âAre you sure your sense of beauty isnât the problem here?â The hour-long work of the little palace maids was thus destroyed by a certain royal.
âCome here.â Baili Jia Jue was standing behind her with a smirk on his face, while toying with his black jade ring.
Helian Wei Wei walked over, raising her eyebrows slightly, as if to say. what else does he want to do?
Unexpectedly, he smiled faintly and lowered his head. Then, he rolled up her falling sleeves to reveal an intricate circle of fox fur, complementing the fairness of her skin which glowed like jade.
When Baili Jia Jue had bent downwards, everyone around held their breath.
They had served many people, including those vivacious consorts and even the most powerful person in the harem, Queen Murong.
However, none of them was treasured by him as much as her.
AFter all, the Third Prince had always been different from the other princes.
Ignoring the orders from the Emperor, he always made decisions based on his feelings. It seemed that he was quite rash, even though he was the worldâs most distinguished man.
Like the clouds in the sky, he emanated a sophisticated aura from his entire body. Even the most beautiful people would be smitten by him.
They initially believed that he would never succumb to anyone.
However, now...
All the palace servants looked at Baili Jia Jue with astonishment.
His Highness seemed so shockingly gentle now.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Helian Wei Wei was also stunned, staring helplessly as he rolled up her sleeves, one after the other. From her angle, his smile was unspeakably soft. His lips were dull in color and seemed irresistibly captivating under the sunlight.
Without hesitating, Helian Wei Wei leaned over to steal a kiss, then quickly stood still as though nothing happened like a cunning fox.
When Baili Jia Jue raised his head and saw this, he tapped her forehead with his bent finger. Then, as he tightened the sash around her waist, he leaned toward her ear with a smirk and muttered, âDo you want it already?â
Helian Wei Wei kept silent...
âAfter dinner has ended, Iâll satisfy you.â Then, Baili Jia Jue stood up and left with the people who were waiting outside. His upright and long silhouette exuded the commanding aura of an Emperor.
Helian Wei Wei did not even have the chance to retort. What does he mean by saying I want it already! All I did was kiss him once! He was reading too much into that one kiss! Monster!
However, it was quite a prize to sleep with such a handsome man.
Helian Wei Wei cheered up again when she thought of it from that perspective. However, her stomach still felt empty. While rubbing her stomach, she strode towards the wooden window and placed her fingers on her thin lips to whistle. Instantly, her mercenary appeared kneeling on the ground like a show, saying, âEldest Young Lady.â
âHowâs the investigation?â Helian Wei Wei asked with a smile, looking much more threatening now than in front of Baili Jia Jue.
The mercenary thought to himself. The Eldest Young Lady probably exhausted all her positive feelings on the Third Prince, so her malicious thoughts are all on the others now. Then, he reported, âApart from the Xuanyuan Kingdom, the people from Huangzi Nation and Yuanzong Nation are also on their way.â
âWhat are they planning to do? Unite the three countries?â Helian Wei Wei laughed.
The mercenary knew that his Eldest Young Lady was extremely clever and nodded, saying, âHuangzi Nation and Yuanzong Nation are not very strong. However, they still publicly challenged us, itâs quite incomprehensible.â
âWhatâs there to feel incomprehensible about. Itâs obvious that the Xuanyuan Kingdom has given them some benefits.â Helian Wei Wei yawned as her smile suddenly grew colder, adding, âNo one wakes early if there is no profit from it. They think that since the Emperor has just passed, the War Dragon Empire would fall into chaos. Thus, they want to make use of this opportunity to reap some benefits. Thatâs why they band together and come to the Capital.â
The mercenary felt anxious when he heard this, explaining, âThen, we are in trouble. They have formed an alliance with the excuse of being worried that the Capitalâs Divine Exorcism Seal has been tampered with. They want to send their people here to stand guard.â
âHuh, they wish.â Helian Wei Wei scoffed, âThe Third Prince will never agree.â
The mercenary murmured in agreement, âItâs because the Third Prince will not agree. Thatâs why the Xuanyuan Kingdom decided to ally with the other two nations. No one knows what theyâre plotting to do.â
âFor every problem, there is a solution. Who cares what they want to do.â Helian Wei Wei rubbed her neck repeatedly with one hand and uttered menacingly, âSince they have come to the War Dragon Empire, we need to teach them a lesson. Otherwise, it would tarnish my image as a mercenary tycoon.â
The mercenary remained silent...
Just confess that you want to bag some silver already.
Eldest Young Lady, we really arenât short of money, is there a need to behave like this?
âOh, thatâs right. Forget about the thing that I asked you to do before.â Helian Wei Wei seemed to have remembered something, so she turned her head around and instructed, âThe Third Prince doesnât like to accompany others, no matter how much theyâll pay. Ah, I canât force him either.â
The mercenary kept mum, again...
I would never dare to even think about this!
To ask the Third Prince to accompany other people, only the Eldest Young Lady would dare to think about it!
