Chapter 88: His Highness is Jealous
Translator: Misty Cloud Editor: Misty Cloud
The person who drew the most attention was naturally still Helian Jiao Er and her group of people. Miss Nie, Helian Mei, even those few people just now were all young girls envied by people within the capital.
Not only were their qi stronger compared to others, even in terms of their appearance they were top beauties. Behind each of them were various numbers of white cherry blossoms.
Behind Helian Jiao Er, there were so many white cherry blossoms that they’ve even been pushed into a pile. Upon further examination, a dozen or more blooms could be counted.
She never looked at them. Rather, she waved her round fan, gently smiling, without the slightest intention of going to pick them up.
Everyone was still waiting to see where the white cherry blossoms in the hands of those noble young lords will end up, especially the bloom in Baili Jia Jue’s hand.
Despite Third Prince attending the Flower Gifting Festival every year, nevertheless, he’d never even showed his face, not to mention giving anyone a white cherry blossom.
It’s different this time. Since he’d come, it meant that he already had someone in mind to give the white cherry blossom to.
Certainly everyone already thought about it carefully, even if Third Prince gifted it, it’d still be presented to Helian Jiao Er. They indeed already had no hope. So they once again used words to poke fun at Helian Jiao Er.
Helian Jiao Er once again raised her head, turned towards that distinctly handsome and noble young man, and took a glance at him, her eyelashes hung down slightly as she breathed a delicate reply, “We’re so loud. Be careful that no one will come in a moment.”
“Oh my! So it turns out that Sister Jiao Er is afraid no one will come!” Nie family’s young miss vaguely touched her and used the fan to cover the corners of her mouth, “Did you hear that, Sister Jiao Er wants you guys to be a bit quieter. If Third Prince doesn’t come in a bit, what’re we gonna do?”
Helian Jiao Er blushed, “You, it’s on you. This girl really thinks too much!”
“Sister Jiao Er, even if I think even more, it still won’t compare to a certain person.” The Nie family’s young miss, using a glance from the corner of her eye, already pointed out Wei Wei sitting in the distance. Mockery filled her pair of eyes, “Since the beginning a moment ago, she’d been eating nonstop. Couldn’t be the same as last time, using this kind of method again to arouse His Highness’ attention, could it?”
Very rarely did Helian Jiao Er not have an answer. Instead, she fetched the tea cup and unenthusiastically took a sip. Within her eyes oozed poisonous thoughts that other people had no way of seeing through.
Wei Wei also didn’t continue to eat, playing with the bowl in her hand as if it were an armament component, thinking about the matter of opening a second store branch.
But she didn’t anticipate that Murong Chang Feng would turn in her direction and walk over, even carrying a letter in his hand.
Wei Wei looked up indifferently.
Murong Chang Feng was wearing an embroidered jade gown. Black eyes and black hair seemed as if he was bestowing upon her a great favor. His voice was neither warm nor hot when he opened his mouth, “I’ve read the letter. So it was indeed like so.”
What was indeed like so?
Wei Wei thought it was laughable as her eyebrows jumped. This person must be ill.
Two people, one looking down, one with their head raised, from the distance, surprisingly appeared as if they had a hint of lingering emotions...
Baili Jia Jue stood inside the pavilion, his hand holding a teacup paused, his pair of eyes were like an abyss where the bottom couldn’t be seen, the meticulous system of self-restraint on his body was expressed vividly and thoroughly. On his body, a distinctly cold temperament could be sensed penetrating through a kind of dispirited languidness, similar to ice and snow that’s been covered in dust for a long time...
The multitude of young lords and ladies all saw this scene.
Helian Mei covered her face, her brows and eyes wore a smile, “Here we go again. Wonder what she wrote on that letter this year.”
“What else could it be? If nothing else, it’s merely some brazen and shameless words.” The young ladies took their circular fans to cover up their lower lip as they smiled. There was no lack of mocking intent among them.
At this moment, Helian Jiao Er also stood up, glanced at Baili Jia Jue at a distance not far away, lightly and softly spoke, “You guys shouldn’t say that. Oldest Sister also sincerely likes the lord. It’s just that her style...is a bit too brazen.”
Baili Jia Jue was still sitting in his original place. Cold winds struck at his body, his fingers were somewhat ice-cold.
In front of him, Eunuch Sun, who’d been serving all along, also started to chatter, “Originally, I thought the matter of handing out letters at the Flower Gifting Festival was only a bunch of falsehoods. Didn’t expect that it’s actually true. Because of Lord Murong, this Helian Wei Wei really would do just about anything. Who knows, maybe Lord Murong may be touched and even really could withdraw the annulment document.”
Baili Jia Jue didn’t speak and seemed absent-minded. One hand loosened his neck collar. The other hand languidly dropped to his side. The look in his eyes overflowed with a cold light like a trace of splashed black ink. Yet conversely, he appeared to be smiling.
Those familiar with him all knew, he certainly was not smiling, rather...
“Third brother?” Little Bald Head, the seventh prince who understood him, from within a pile of meat buns, cutely lifted his head and came over. What’s going on with Third Brother. How come he’s getting so angry all of a sudden? He actually obediently only ate one meat bun, because Third Brother said if he kept on eating, he won’t turn into a handsome man and could only turn into a big fatty!
Helian Jiao Er also observed Baili Jia Jue’s expression. Her eyes half looked down, a trace of profound complacency flashed through.
After this time, that slut of a girl would certainly not leave any good impression in Third Prince’s mind anymore.
She understood more than anyone how this man loathe women who can’t keep themselves in check. Let alone how it was right now, during a public event like the Flower Gifting Festival, taking the initiative to send someone a letter...
Didn’t that slut always want to draw Third Prince’s attention to herself? Then she will allow her to have her wish fulfilled!”
She actually wanted to see what kind of ending that slut will have in a moment!
“Lord, hey, do you really still want to forgive this girl?” At this time, a troublemaking young lord came over and shadily looked at Wei Wei, “She is even more licentious than you think. You don’t know yet what followed after last year’s story, heh. She saw that you didn’t gift her a cherry blossom and flat out stuck to my body like glue. I disliked her unsightliness and said a few words to her. Contrary to expectation, she sent a fist and struck out. So thick-skinned, she could be the queen...”
Bang!
Without waiting for that person to finish, Wei Wei already made her move.
She just stood there smiling like a demon as she asked, “Did it hurt?”
“You!” That person didn’t anticipate that she would be so brazen, he used a hand to cover his face while he wanted to stand up.
Bang!
It was again a ruthless fist. Wei Wei’s fingers seized his collar, her shapely eyes looked up, “Come, repeat what you just said once more. If they’re lacking, my fist won’t be happy.”
“I...I.” It seemed as if he was shaken by Wei Wei’s imposing manner. That person unceasingly stepped backwards, wanting to escape her control.
But his pair of legs seemed like they’ve already been weighed down with lead, how come even taking one step wasn’t possible!
What’s happening here? !
Surprisingly he was unable to muster his own qi!
Wei Wei was still smiling as before, “Say it again, hm?”
Bang!
The third fist firmly planted on that person’s abdomen!
That person spit out a mouthful of blood. His whole face turned green. It hurted so much he directly screamed, “Somebody come, AH, somebody come! Someone wants to kill, ah!”
“Wei Wei!” Helian Mei was the first to speak!
Yet with merely Wei Wei’s raised eyebrow, she was frightened into staying put, “Helian Mei, shut up! I’m telling you, the one who stops me from beating up this bastard today, is the one whose blood I’m going to drink, is the one whose life I’ll take!”
The four limbs on Helian Mei’s body abruptly froze.
What was this!
Was it a ghost?
“Speak!” Wei Wei leaned over, her fingers were placed upon that person’s wrist. She smiled demonically as she exerted force!
