The Anarchic Consort

The old mistress brought the bag over, eyeing Helian Wei Wei shrewdly as she spoke.

She had just met Young Lady Yun in another room, who entered the palace at the same time as the second young lady of the Helian family.

Young Lady Yun had talked to her about His Highness.

She wanted the old mistress to praise her in front of His Highness as he seemed to be still holding a grudge about her sudden departure.

However, what is happening now?

His Highness not only personally brought the princess consort to the Royal Wardrobe himself, but also specially asked her to fetch the item he previously ordered.

She originally thought that the item was for Young Lady Yun, but now it seemed that her assumption was wrong.

Helian Wei Wei merely tilted her head and smiled when she noticed the old mistress staring at her constantly.

She felt that the old mistress had an unusual status as it was exceedingly rare to find someone Baili Jia Jue could be so patient with.

Although His Highness remained indifferent when facing the old mistress, he was not as intimidating as usual.

Baili Jia Jue casually introduced the old mistress as he seemed to have noticed Helian Wei Wei’s gaze. “She was a royal wet nurse, Wet Nurse Xu.”

Helian Wei Wei knew that sometimes, the princes were closer to their wet nurses than their mothers. However, the old mistress was slightly overaged.

“What nonsense are you thinking about? Wet Nurse Xu was the one who had taken care of the Emperor.” Baili Jia Jue glanced at Helian Wei Wei nonchalantly.

Helian Wei Wei always felt like a transparent being in front of His Highness. He always knew what she was thinking of, “What about Your Highness’s wet nurse?”

“I did not have a wet nurse,” Baili Jia Jue’s voice was still placid and indifferent.

Helian Wei Wei was confused. “Isn’t there a wet nurse for every prince?”

Baili Jia Jue assured her and spoke in an untroubled tone, “Mother was busy competing for the Emperor’s attention at that time and had forgotten about me, so she didn’t get me a wet nurse.”

Helian Wei Wei could not have predicted such an answer.

It was not because she forgot to get a wet nurse.

Rather, it was because she forgot her son, Baili Jia Jue…

It must be painful to be forgotten by his own mother, isn’t it?

Helian Wei Wei glanced at Baili Jia Jue. His side profile did not change, except for a hint of ridicule that tainted his smile.

She had assumed that he grew up in a golden jar, living lavishly without worries.

However, she had never thought that living in a golden jar had its sufferings too.

Actually, if she analyzed his character carefully, she would clearly see that His Highness had a bad childhood.

He was mysophobic, a perfectionist and exceptionally controlling about everything.

Otherwise, he would not have a personality that appeared pure and holy on the outside, but darkly malevolent on the inside.

She was the same. Ever since she was young, she was told to be gentle and soft so that she could find someone to love and protect her.

She wanted to be protected too.

However, she realized it was utter nonsense.

She must become stronger. Only then, she would be able to survive.

Moreover, her stepmother had slandered her, accusing her to be a thief.

From that time onward, she knew that no one in this world would protect her.

Therefore, she might seem approachable, but she was actually extremely cold-hearted. She was simply selfish, so selfish that she would not completely trust anyone and be extra cautious when she had to do anything

They were the same kind of people. Perhaps to others, they were wicked to the bones.

No, I stand corrected.

She was the one who was wicked to the bones.

His Highness had done a great job maintaining his reputation, even though he was actually the person who was truly wicked to his bones.

“Give me your hand.” Baili Jia Jue took the delicate bag.

Helian Wei Wei had predicted the contents to be some sort of accessories. After all, rich people loved using these as presents, especially someone as affluent as His Highness.

However, even an intelligent person like Helian Wei Wei could not completely fathom Baili Jia Jue’s mind.

It was indeed a type of accessory. It was produced with excellent craftsmanship, made with pure silver and painted in an enchanting onyx black, gleaming faintly under the bright sunlight.

However, she needed someone to explain to her.

Why did His Highness gift a cat collar to her?

This is definitely a cat collar!

In the 21st century, she had seen trinkets like this in many pet shops. Although they were not as thin or beautiful as this one, they were definitely of the same shape.

Helian Wei Wei wanted to laugh, but she could not. Even the thrashing of ten thousand galloping alpacas could not describe the current state of her mood.

All she wanted to do now was to shake Baili Jia Jue and interrogate him properly. What, are, you, trying, to, do!

Is he worried that his pet would not be well-behaved after he has gotten it? So, it even has to wear a collar, right? He might as well write down his contact number and engrave his name on it!

As proven, Helian Wei Wei would still be able to follow His Highness’s thoughts if she could find the correct clues.

That was because she discovered an ostentatious character carved on the pure silver collar. It was none other than the character of his name, Jue.

Helian Wei Wei was completely speechless…

Baili Jia Jue would never allow the chance for someone to reject his gift. He saw her staring blankly at her palm, having no intention to put it on.

He extended his slender fingers, undid the Mysterious Ice Tungsten Iron, and clasped it around Helian Wei Wei’s neck.

Helian Wei Wei had a beautiful neck that was thin and fair. The contrasting black of the collar made her thin, vulnerable blood vessels even more visible.

Baili Jia Jue was stunned for a moment. He wanted to lean forward and bite her without hesitation, so audacious as though there was no one else around.

However, Helian Wei Wei did not allow him to get away with it this time. She quickly dodged him and stood up, as her eyes met Wet Nurse Xu’s surprised gaze. She merely smiled indolently without really feeling uncomfortable.

Her neck did seem rather pretty with the collar on, as she could see from the mirror. She slightly resembled a dark angel. His Highness’ taste was indeed not bad.

However, no matter how beautiful it was, it was still a cat collar.

Who would make a person wear that?

“Even the feline clan doesn’t wear this.” Whitey’s refreshing voice resonated from the Fantasy Space, “Only completely tamed mythological beasts would obey everything their masters say.”

Yuan Ming smirked, “She’s close to being tamed. Hmm, let me recall. I think there are four days left. Four more days to her Yab-Yum day.”

“You can now shut up.” Helian Wei Wei kicked the two guys out from her subconscious communication with an unconcerned tone. Then, she reached out her hand to feel the collar on her neck. When she looked up again, she came across two familiar figures standing outside the courtyard.

They were none other than Yun Biluo and Helian Jiao Er, who were constantly scheming against her every second of the day.

Although they only flashed across her sight, Helian Wei Wei was sure that the two silhouettes that appeared were indeed them.

Isn’t this place only for the Royal Family?

How did Yun Biluo come in?
