The Anarchic Consort

Hmm, she felt relieved thinking in this way.

Helian Wei Wei cast a glance at the contract that was placed at an obvious position in a good mood and lifted her lips into a smile.

She recalled that the bossy presidents in modern times would pacify the other person after finished using that person.

She had to comply with the mode too.

“Qing Zhan,” Helian Wei Wei instructed. “Let’s roast meat ourselves tonight.”

Qing Zhan was stunned for a second before she said, “Has Princess Consort’s appetite gotten any better?”

“Yeah, it’s not bad. It’s plainly because His Highness loves meat.” Helian Wei Wei replied smilingly and thought in her mind, I’m so considerate, such an eligible bossy president!

Qing Zhan turned her head away silently. She had been a death knight in the palace for so many years, but it was the first time hearing that His Highness loved meat.

Eunuch Sun said smilingly, “Go ahead and prepare. As the old saying goes, the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. Princess Consort has finally understood it.”

Qing Zhan looked at him and said slowly, “Eunuch Sun, are you sure that it’s not what the Princess Consort loves to eat instead?”

Eunuch Sun was speechless.

The sun was low in the west, half the sky was reddened by the setting sun. The golden sun shone through the clouds and the whole palace was shimmering in the mild sunlight.

The mild sunlight shone into the window through the curtain. Helian Wei Wei was dealing with the metal rack used to hang the roasted lamb.

Qing Zhan was looking by the side. She wondered, how did Miss Helian live her life for these tens of years? Why does she look so much like a hooligan?

Hmm… Perhaps this is her special characteristic.

Baili Jia Jue had yet to return; most probably still occupied with the work in the imperial court.

He seemed to dislike being disturbed by anyone.

That was why there were only a few palace maids and eunuchs here. Helian Wei Wei was comfortable with this condition.

She wanted to pay respect to the empress, but Eunuch Sun had stopped her and said, “There’s no need for that. His Highness will bring you there when he has the time. The Retired Emperor won’t be free as he is quite busy at this period of time.”

He had filtered out the empress automatically.

Helian Wei Wei was smart and naturally, she understood the hidden meaning. His Highness had said that she did not have to pay respect, she would just comply with it. After all, the empress was not their ally. She was reluctant to entertain her as well. She did not want to see anyone from the Murong Residence.

According to the current trend in the imperial court, Empress Murong was most probably fighting with His Highness for the Crown Prince position as the prince that she had given birth to was now at the age of four.

However, His Highness could easily bully them to death if he really wanted to fight against such a young kid.

The little prince will surely be dead by now.

Helian Wei Wei could not help but smile at this thought. She took a breath and stretched her body. She walked slowly to the temporary kitchen and cleaned the mutton in her hands.

The mutton should be marinated before roasting in order to bring out the best flavor of the mutton.

Helian Wei Wei was always fastidious about her food. She never treated herself shabbily and of course, she could cook very well. Besides, Eunuch Sun would get her anything she wanted in the palace.

The only problem was that Eunuch Sun seemed too enthusiastic and passionate. He looked excited whenever he sent things over to her.

This caused Helian Wei Wei to be perplexed. However, she decided to keep it at the back of her mind as she could not wait to enjoy a lavish meal in a short while. She prepared another dish, which was the spicy shrimps. She did not know whether His Highness would like to eat shrimps. When she was in the Academy, the only thing she knew was that he disliked eggplants.

“Does Baili Jia Jue eat shrimps?” Helian Wei Wei turned her head over to ask Eunuch Sun who had been following her around.

Eunuch Sun stopped and thought for a while, yet he could not recall anything. “Probably, His Highness is an indifferent eater.”

Helian Wei Wei raised her brows and heaved a sigh. “Alright, I’ll observe him later.”

A long while after they finished their conversation, a tall and straight yet pure silhouette walked toward the palace in the dusk of the evening.

It was Baili Jia Jue who was giving instructions to Shadow. The eunuch beside him was holding a big pile of memorials while tagging along behind them silently.

His hand reached up and loosened his collar. Just then, he saw Helian Wei Wei walking toward him with a small metal bowl in her arms. She looked up at him with a smile. “You’re back?”

Baili Jia Jue stood in astonishment and stared at Helian Wei Wei.

Helian Wei Wei revealed a smile on her face which was stained with flour. The surprised look on her face was real. Her eyes were pretty, charming and irresistible.

Baili Jia Jue had a sudden thought. Women are truly difficult to understand.

However, Baili Jia Jue played along and replied in acknowledgment. He handed over the things in his hand to Shadow.

Shadow and the eunuch retreated.

Helian Wei Wei lowered her body to fetch out the lamb chops from the metal bowl. With a dashing movement, she turned the metal fork and put the lamb chops on the metal rack. Beneath it was a fire pit. She coated the meat in oil and almost immediately, they could smell the food aroma wafted in the air.

Baili Jia Jue fixed her gaze on Helian Wei Wei.

Helian Wei Wei’s face turned dark. She flipped the lamb chops and raised her head to take a good look at him. Other than His Highness, there’s no second one in the world who will look as handsome as him even with injuries on the head.

His forehead was bandaged with a white cloth that was directly tied at the back of his head. It looked more like a new look rather than an injury which was similar to his appearance when he hurt his eyes. Helian Wei Wei felt a little discomfort as she recalled that he was her deskmate and shared the same fate with her. She let out a cough, reached out her hand to touch the cloth as she said, “I wouldn’t have hit you so hard if you were just touching my head or face.”

Upon hearing it, Baili Jia Jue sneaked a glance at the back of Helian Wei Wei’s neck as she went on to prepare the rack of lamb. The fine hair on the back of her neck was clearly visible. Baili Jia Jue clenched his fist and suppressed his urge to touch her neck again. He simply replied in acknowledgment. Someone must have said something to her and made her let go of the incident that night.

Although the little prey was obedient enough to bury the hatchet.

Ah, what he actually wanted was for her to accept him, not completely letting go of the incident that happened that night.

She was indeed good at digesting information.

Baili Jia Jue smiled coldly in his mind but maintained his straight face as he replied, “Didn’t you ever think that it might have left a scar when you hit me?”

Helian Wei Wei raised her eyebrows and said, “You’re a man, yet you are worried about having scars?”

Her original intention was to shut his mouth.

To her surprise, he answered him indistinctly, “Of course, do you think it’s that easy to be the most handsome man in the world?”

Helian Wei Wei was speechless.

Fine, she was truly not as shameless as His Highness.
