The Anarchic Consort c1-1376
Page 158
Even after meeting so many superstars, Helian Wei Wei still thinks that a certain prince has a very rare feeling of a royalty who is obsessed with luxury.
Baili Jia Jue smiled after noticing Helian Wei Wei's stare, and that kind of smile only made him even more handsome.
This attracted Helian Wei Wei to stare at him for a while more, but coincidentally she met with a stare of his own, as if he was trying to catch her in the act.
For a moment, Helian Wei Wei felt as if she could hear the moment the air slowed down...
"Why are you staring at me?" Baili Jia Jue asked, smiling.
Helian Wei Wei was speechless. It was obviously mutual, but why does he make it sound like I was spying on him?
Baili Juejia looked at her expression, and his dissatisfied emotions from just now became better. He smiled, releasing charm all over him.
Helian Wei Wei constantly thought that this man is always trying to seduce her by using his beauty. Fortunately she had great endurance, or else, if she jumped on him...
Wait, why is she thinking about jumping on him?
"Woman, stop suppressing your nature." Yuan Ming's devilish tone rang out, "You only have less than five days. The closer you are to the day you need to Yab-Yum, the more you won't be able to control your own body. Why suffer? If you want to, just go ahead."
Helian Wei Wei did not care about Yuan Ming and stuffed him back into the Space of Fantasy. She looked at Baili Jia Jue's dull, narrow and long eyes, sat on the wooden chair with her legs slightly crossed, sipped on a cup of tea, and said, "I want to go shopping."
"Shopping?" Baili Jia Jue looked like he did not expect this answer, his hands paused from wiping his hair.
Helian Wei Wei simply muttered a small agreement, thinking to herself that it was all Baili Jia Jue's fault that she has to go and buy a high-collared robe to wear during summer.
"You do need more clothes." Baili Jia Jue looked at her once more, his gaze indifferent. It felt like he was a bossy president staring down at a homeless person.
Helian Wei Wei raised one of her eyebrows. What kind of look is that? She's rich too.
"Let's go, we can go shopping now." Baili Jia Jue put on his robe. The smoothness of his actions made Helian Wei Wei almost could not respond to it...
"Shadow." Baili Jia Jue called out the accompanying shadow guard, "Go and make some preparations."
Shadow turned around and answered simply, "Yes."
"Actually I can go on my own, seeing as you are quite busy." Helian Wei Wei smiled at Baili Jia Jue. She was smart as usual. Shopping is such a tedious matter, surely a person like the Third Prince would not like it.
Unexpectedly, Baili Jia Jue only gave her three words, "No can do."
Helian Wei Wei became speechless. F*ck! Why not?
"I cannot agree with your sense of fashion." Baili Jia Jue took the initiative and walked out.
Here it is again, another one of his indifferent and condescending looks.
Despite wanting to hit him, Helian Wei Wei reminded herself to endure, as she was after all nothing but a prey with two legs in front of a certain prince.
When Baili Jia Jue turned around, what he saw was Helian Wei Wei scrunching her eyebrows, looking like she was at a loss. Instantly, he smiled as he curled up his thin lips.
Helian Wei Wei wouldn't help but complain silently… As expected, a mortal like her cannot possibly comprehend the weird, abnormal even, taste of a certain prince.
But judging from his clothing, Baili Jia Jue must be someone who has a good sense of fashion, so going out with a guy like this is not bad as well.
"Let's eat something before we go out." Helian Wei Wei touched her belly, she was already very hungry, and all she wanted was some fragrant white rice. It would be better if there was some spiced beef to go with it.
Baili Juejia did not look at her with "discrimination" this time, but only ordered the servants to prepare some food.
They did not eat in the house, but in the pavilion at the courtyard. Every dish placed before them smelled heavenly.
Helian Wei Wei ate wholeheartedly. The Third Prince did not want to eat, so she ate all the food she passed to her without any awkwardness.
It was just that one of them looked like they were posing for a poster shooting when they ate; while the other was more natural and was not picky. Interestingly, they brought out the best in each other.
There were not many girls who ate as much as Helian Wei Wei, and she was not pretentious as she ate what she was fed.
This caused Baili Jia Jue's smile to deepen. He felt that he could be rest assured about her eating habits.
After the meal, they saw that it was about time to leave, so they walked to the gates of the Academy together.
Helian Wei Wei began to notice that the number of shadow guards that followed Baili Jia Jue were tenfold or more. Although they stayed hidden, but Helian Wei Wei could still feel the difference.
As the forces in government are unstable at the moment, after a certain prince revealed his identity at the White Academy, there would certainly be a lot of troubles.
Plus he just caught Murong Hongtu yesterday, so Queen Murong would definitely not let this matter go just like that.
Now that she thought of it, it might be that the number of enemies a certain prince has is not any lesser than hers.
While women play by tricks and methods, men play by military power.
Helian Wei Wei thought about this, paused and said, "What you told me about the weapons, I'm already doing it, it will be ready in these few days."
Baili Jia Jue hummed indifferently. The gaze he gave Helian Wei Wei was filled with meaning, making the scalp at her head grow numb, "You seem to be very good at this."
Helian Wei Wei paused.
Fortunately, Baili Jia Jue did not continue to ask anything, he looked calm, "What about the name?"
Helian Wei Wei looked serious, "I'm still thinking." It was mainly about the type of names he wanted… Does the Third Prince not have any idea how hard it is to serve him?
Of course, the prince who has always been living beyond the clouds wouldn't have such feelings, because the servants are always guessing about what he's thinking, always wanting to come and serve this master. They would not even dare to criticise him.
There's something good about Baili Jia Jue, and is it that he has good manners. Although this was just a cover, but it always made people feel like they were being treated well, "Where do you plan to go shopping later?"
"Hmm?" Helian Wei Wei did not care too much, "Any fabric shop is fine." She only wanted something with a collar to cover up the marks on her neck...
Chapter 355 - His Highness Is Up To Something Again
Baili Jia Jue asked again, "How expensive do you want it to be?"
Helian Wei Wei counted according to the currency of the ancient times. It is now summer, there's no need for any fur coats, so a robe with normal fabric might need about 10 silver, the most expensive one not exceeding 50 silver. Thinking that 70 silver should be enough, she said, "Approximately 70 silver, I don't mind if the price is more than that." As she was trying to prove that she was rich, she placed more emphasis on the last part of her sentence.
Baili Jia Jue raised an eyebrow and said, "You can't buy a bottoming shirt with 70 silver."
The corners of Helian Wei Wei's lips twitched, "Er... I was talking about a whole set."
Baili Jia Jue looked at her for a while and frowned, "I didn't know that you were this poor."
Helian Wei Wei: … That was already the most expensive one!
Most ladies from aristocratic families would spend about 50 silver on their best clothing.
Why is it that when she's around a certain prince, she would always feel like someone who was previously living under a rock and got rich suddenly?
Someone quickly tell her that this much be a misconception!
Baili Jia Jue looked at her, "If you need more money in the future, get it from Shadow.
Later, try whatever it is that I pick for you."
Is he being disgusted at her clothes now?
Helian Wei Wei want to explain herself.
But the way that he looked at her was like he was looking at a street cat, and that made her unable to explain herself.
She even started to doubt herself as to whether she's really poor...
Shadow said in a small voice while standing beside her, "His Highness is used to using good things since he was young."
The things that he uses are not just good, they are probably the best in the whole world.
Helian Wei Wei always knew that this man was brought up with a silver spoon in his mouth, so she didn't mind it that much.
Shadow prepared the best carriage. He walked to the front of the carriage, placed his finger on his left arm and politely bowed at Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue.
Ever since a certain prince announced his identity, there was no need for any notice of absence anymore.
The teachers even wanted to line up to see him off.
He was already the student that the teachers already cracked their heads over, now that he revealed his identity, the teachers only felt more troubled. This was because they would not dare to control a student like this.
Even if Baili Jia Jue did not reveal his identity, just one look from him would urge the teachers to pass out leaves of absence to him.
Even Eunuch Sun had purposely come from the palace after hearing that Baili Jia Jue was going to take Helian Wei Wei shopping. He met them at the foot of the mountain.
This is all thanks to Miss, oh no, he should call her Princess Consort now.
As expected of the Princess Consort!
So when Helian Wei Wei stepped down from the carriage, Eunuch Sun gave her a whole stack of money and said: "Princess Consort, do buy more. If this is not enough, I have more. I will be waiting out here, just take your time shopping with His Highness."
Helian Wei Wei looked at the money in her hand, every one of them was 100 silver and there were about 70 to 80 pieces of it... According to this amount, she really is not wealthy enough.
Baili Jia Jue seems to be very familiar with this. To him, money is like white paper, there's no difference between the two.
On this point, Helian Wei Wei is still impressed with a certain prince as he is able to look at money as if it was nothing.
She would never be able to do it. The colour of money was her favourite.
As Helian Wei Wei blew at the money in her hands, she looked very much like a ruffian. She would return anything that's left after she's done.
Although she, Helian Wei Wei liked to have money, but she won't take advantage of anyone.
"Let's go." Baili Jia Jue brushed his robe, his voice as still as ever. He emptied a hand and held her close to him.
Helian Wei Wei went along with it. She didn't forget that Eunuch Sun is still watching behind them, later he must report back to the Retired Emperor, so a show of their affection is sometimes necessary.
As she was thinking about this, she looked back and Helian Wei Wei saw Eunuch Sun gesturing 'all the best' to her with both his hands raised. She almost wanted to put a hand to her forehead and sigh.
But the place that Baili Jia Jue brought her to was unexpectedly quite good, just by the decoration of the hall, she could have guessed it. Plus the moment they stepped inside, bamboos were swaying and added on to the serene atmosphere.
Helian Wei Wei raised her eyes and saw four golden letters on the horizontal sign: "Fabric of The Royal Family".
Baili Jia Jue brought her inside. The lady master seemed to know him, and after seeing him, there was a glimmer in her eyes, "Your servant was quite shocked when she was informed by Shadow. I did not think that Master would really come."
Master, not His Highness?
It seems like this fabric shop is actually owned by Baili Jia Jue.
Helian Wei Wei smiled, no wonder the people of the War Dragon Empire always said that the Third Prince is the best and that his riches beat that of a country.
It wasn't as if Helian Wei Wei had been completely living under a rock, so she naturally recognised what good things were.
"This must be the Princess Consort." The master looked at her for once. Originally she wanted to say something like how she was as pretty as a flower, but after looking at her face, she can only say something else, "Your servant welcomes the Princess Consort."
Helian Wei Wei waved her hand, "There's no such need for such formality out here. I want to choose a robe, what do you recommend?"
The master looked at Helian Wei Wei again and said, "The Princess Consort has a very nice figure, there will be nothing that will look unflattering you."
The master was speaking the truth. Aside from the Princess Consort's face, her figure was indeed one of the best.
Of course Helian Wei Wei knew about all these. When she first arrived here, she felt that the body's previous owner must have thought that she was too young to have all these m.a.t.u.r.e features, that's why she was slightly humpbacked, making her b.r.e.a.s.ts retract instead.
She adjusted it accordingly. Since she's still a young lady, there's nothing bad in drinking more milk.
As they were speaking, Baili Jia Jue chose one of the nightgowns. It was made of white silk, and the sleeves were wide wings. It was soft and beautiful, and at the same time it showcased freedom and carried a sense of glamour.
Helian Wei Wei thought that it looked good too, but, "I'm here to get long robes..."
She almost forgot that she was now someone who did not have good taste. Everything should go according to a certain prince's choice!
"I'll go try it." She quite liked this style, and the robe looked alright, so Helian Wei Wei took the pyjamas, and was led into the shop by the master...
Chapter 356 - His Highness Bullied Wei Wei
"The princess consort does indeed have a good body figure," the old mistress uttered as she scrutinized the woman in front of her. It was rare for someone to fit in the nightgown so well due to its length. Even the most beautiful girls would appear awkward as though they were wearing an a.d.u.l.t's clothing they pilfered in this gown. Only Helian Wei Wei could completely accentuate the exquisiteness of such a laidback outfit.
Even the old mistress herself thought that wearing a nightgown like that would push people away.
However, Helian Wei Wei was different. Just as the old mistress had professed, she had a perfect body figure. When donned by her, even pure white clothing would not seem plain, but appear exquisitely curvy. Her temperament was genteel, and she possessed a free and easy attitude.
"Come here," Baili Jia Jue raised his eyes to look at her, his legs slightly hanging on the wooden chair. His body leaned elegantly and indolently on the chair, with a teapot beside his hand. His side face was handsome but cold, exuding a domineering aura that was widely overwhelming.
Isn't the lighting good enough here? Must I go near for him to see? Helian Wei Wei walked over doubtfully. She was already facing him but Baili Jia Jue felt that they were not close enough, hence he tugged her closer by the arm.
The old mistress had a shrewd common sense. She hurriedly closed the door for them and exited with rushed footsteps when she saw this.
Helian Wei Wei was still frowning.
Baili Jia Jue had pressed her against his long legs, his fingers instinctively finding their way into her nightgown...
Helian Wei Wei froze at once. This turn of events was quite unexpected for her.
It seemed like he purposely chose somewhere with only the two of them so that he could bully her to his heart's content.
"You..."
"Hmm?" His handsome face edged closer and closer to her until she could feel his breathing, "Do you want the people outside to hear you?" His hoarse voice echoed in her ears, as he lowered his tone into a quiet m.o.a.n, "Be a good girl. You know I don't want to resort to other methods."
You don't think this is one of your tricks?
At the end, she could not move even if he did not use his hand.
His Highness must have tinkered with her.
"Hmm… There seems to be something missing," Baili Jia Jue commented when he looked into Helian Wei Wei's indifferent eyes as she laid in his arms.
Then, he lifted the teapot beside him and gently poured the warm water all over Helian Wei Wei's body.
Despite its lukewarm temperature, Helian Wei Wei still shuddered a little. She raised her eyebrows, looking at the man in front of her, and softly bellowed, "Baili Jia Jue!"
He pretended not to hear her. He smiled faintly as he moved in closer to her shimmering eyes, his hands forcing down on her raising leg, "I knew this color suits you perfectly."
Then, he lifted her entire body up in his arms and carried her directly into the inner room. A bronze mirror that was one meter tall stood inside it.
Helian Wei Wei did not dare to look at her reflection in the bronze mirror. The water-drenched white nightgown stuck closely to her skin, sneakily revealing part of the red u.n.d.e.r.g.a.r.m.e.n.ts underneath. She stood on the rug with her long and slender legs, her fair toes contrasted by the black fur of the rug. She looked unexpectedly alluring.
Baili Jia Jue was standing behind her, a hand on her waist, and another lightly c.a.r.e.s.sing her neck. His elegant and indifferent side profile had an unusual evil charm. He slightly bared his teeth like a medieval vampire count, planning on how to dine in even before getting hold of an impeccable prey.
Helian Wei Wei assumed that because her position allowed her to watch herself, the excitement was twofold from normal.
He firmly locked her in his arms, trailing kisses from her ears to her neck.
The strong masculine aura and burning aroma of wine slowly numbed her body. She panicked, struggling to free herself, but he clamped her wrists with a hand. Another hand of his made its way instinctively to her c.h.e.s.t and rummaged all over it. He easily unraveled a few buttons, exposing the seductive red u.n.d.e.r.g.a.r.m.e.n.ts.
