The Anarchic Consort

“Are we leaving just like that?” Yuan Ming, who turned his head around to look at the tall and straight figure standing by the window, evilly smirked, “Mmm, yes, it’s better to leave. Woman, you better hurry, or else someone might catch you climbing over the wall again.”

Helian Wei Wei noticed that Yuan Ming was unusually talkative today, but Helian Wei Wei came to her senses and increased her speed, jumping over the high wall with only two to three leaps.

Crash!

Following the disappearance of Helian Wei Wei, the candlelight in front of the window extinguished. Even the teacups on the table were shattered on the floor.

It gave Shadow the heebie-jeebies.

The person who shattered the teacups was impassive; his fingers casually unbuttoning the clothes he was wearing while approaching slowly.

Shadow involuntarily let out a sigh of relief, slowly retreated, and carefully shut the door. He wiped at his forehead which was covered with a sheen of sweat.

It was unusual to see His Highness being this way.

On the second day, before the sun rose, Helian Wei Wei hiked to the peak of White Academy, observing every move of the students.

“Woman, your way of searching is like looking for a needle in a haystack.” It was the first time Yuan Ming woke up this early, and he was still excited. “Why don’t we find a teacher to threaten instead?”

Helian Wei Wei yawned, “I don’t want to be driven out from the academy yet.”

“Are we going to keep standing here?” Yuan Ming looked at the empty surrounding.

Helian Wei Wei glanced at him. “There’s nothing to be afraid of, Qing Zhan is going to deliver us food anyway.”

“Don’t you have to go to class?” Yuan Ming raised his eyebrows.

Helian Wei Wei smiled gently. “I’ve taken leave.”

“It’s unexpected for the teacher to approve your leave.” That little old man who wanted to strangle this woman to death every time he saw her, when did he become so agreeable?

Helian Wei Wei rubbed her little tummy with the hand she covered it with. “As a woman, there will surely be a few days every month that we don’t feel well. This was what I’ve told him.”

Yuan Ming did a double-take, then quietly covered his face. “That little old man surely went ballistic the moment he heard you.”

“No, he didn’t. He blushed as if I’ve harassed him.” Helian Wei Wei tiredly yawned, “I’ve no interest in such an old man.”

Yuan Ming was speechless.

However, after that, he found out that Helian Wei Wei was indeed not feeling well. He furrowed his thick brows and took out some strawberries for Helian Wei Wei to regain her vitality.

Helian Wei Wei felt better after eating the strawberries. She held her little tummy and rested for a little while, her face pale as she was feeling slightly oppressed with the heat.

“Third Aunt.” The Little Seventh Prince, who was not holding a meat bun this time, was looking majestic in his prestigious clothing. Following his sides were two Little Bald Heads, making him look like a little emperor on patrol. “Are you not feeling well?”

Helian Wei Wei honestly replied, “Slightly.”

The Little Seventh Prince, taking this matter seriously with a frown, faced the Little Bald Heads beside him and commanded, “Go to Third Brother’s place and tell him that Third Aunt is not feeling well.”

“Yes!” Both Little Bald Heads was just about to fly off.

Immediately, Helian Wei Wei reached out her hands to drag them back. “Don’t over exaggerate, I’ll be alright after some rest, both of you can fall back now.”

The two Little Bald Heads looked toward the Little Seventh Prince.

The Little Seventh Prince waved his hand; the expression and the imposing manner were so similar to the Third Prince.

Helian Wei Wei curiously stated, “I’ve never seen these two Little Bald Heads before.”

“They are the shadow guards Third Brother asked me to choose myself.” The Little Seventh Prince vigorously said, “These two Little Bald Heads are the only ones that are acceptably pleasing to my eyes.”

Helian Wei Wei raised her brows. According to the principle, the one that could have his own shadow guards had the highest possibility to inherit the throne. Not to mention, the Third Prince’s shadow guards were designated by the emperor’s father.

Now that man got the Little Seventh Prince to choose his own shadow guards…the objective was obvious. He would be the one to influence decisions behind the scenes, and in the end, the throne would be inherited by the Seventh Prince.

But…

“Is there anyone else that knows about this?” Helian Wei Wei was worried about this. If anyone discovered Baili Jia Jue’s idea, this little one would be in a dangerous position.

As expected, the Little Seventh Prince shook his head, went beside Helian Wei Wei and sat down like a little cub. “Last year, my Third Brother told me not to tell anyone about this.”

“And you still told me.” Helian Wei Wei thought to herself. So it started last year? How long has he been planning for this?

The little one raised his head, looking aggressive. “You’re my Third Aunt, not anyone else.”

Helian Wei Wei wanted to embrace this child once again. He was way too punky. “When you’re out of jerky, get it from me, I’ll ask someone to buy for you.”

“Okay!”

As predicted, only meat was capable of bringing joy; his eyes were sparkling!

The little one stared at her. “Are we really not going to tell my Third Brother?”

“No.” Helian Wei Wei waved her hand.

The little one put down the wooden stick that he was holding. “Then, you will miss out on a chance to strive for a favor. You shouldn’t.”

Helian Wei Wei was amused. “You even know about striving for a favor.”

“When I was younger and wanted to see my Third Brother, I’d bawl my eyes out, and he would come and feed me some meat.” This little one was absolutely trying to share his experience. He looked so earnest.

However…. Is it fine to eat meat when you’re sick?

Obviously, the Third Prince did not know much about taking care of others.

The Little Seventh Prince was not good at this as well.

How did these two brothers grow up…?

Helian Wei Wei sighed and playfully said, “Didn’t you hear what the others say? Your Third Brother married me just to deal with the Retired Emperor, and you still treated me as someone that can be trusted by telling me all these.”

“Don’t listen to their nonsense.” The little one jumped down and stared at Helian Wei Wei with an extremely serious face.

Shadow, who was listening at the side, felt gratified. He never thought that the Little Seventh Prince was so sensible. He could even stand up for Baili Jia Jue already.

However, what the little one said next made him startle.

He said, “My Third Brother married you clearly because you can cook well!”

Shadow, Yuan Ming, and Helian Wei Wei were speechless.

The Third Prince fell for me because of… my cooking skills?

“Being able to cook well is more than enough.” The little one arrogantly snorted, “The others know nothing.”

Shadow and the others indeed did not understand. Having good cooking skills alone could qualify to become a Princess Consort. What the h*ll is this!

“Hahaha, he is indeed the Little Seventh Prince.” Sitting on the chair, Nangong Lie’s tummy ached from laughing too hard. “Ah Jue, I’ve known you for long, it’s the first time I’ve heard that you choose a Princess Consort for her cooking skills.”

Baili Jia Jue glared at him.

Nangong Lie, noticing Baili Jia Jue’s expression, immediately straightened up.

Baili Jia Jue stood up and took the white napkin from Shadow to wipe his own hands.

Nangong Lie turned his gaze around. “But the academy is not peaceful nowadays. All of a sudden, there are two new transfer students. Ah Jue, you’ve never seen the girl before. She’s quite good looking and looks familiar.”

Shadow’s heart thumped when he heard that.

Baili Jia Jue seemed to be slightly distracted.

Nangong Lie raised his brows and continued, “Do you want to go to the academy with me and take a look at her?”
