The Anarchic Consort (1)

298-300

Qing Zhan also felt that this matter was clearly a bullying case. She held her left hand and looked at Hei Zhu, "Hei Zhu, by doing this, aren't you afraid that His Highness will go into a rage and take your life?"

"Why will His Highness become angry?" Hei Zhu looked at Qing Zhan mockingly, "Elder sister is just having a song competition with the princess consort. Moreover, His Highness has always liked to listen to elder sister while she is playing music. If His Highness is here, he will certainly be happier than everyone else. Qing Zhan, why are you overreacting? Even if you wanted to attract Young Master Lie's attention, you shouldn't have done it in this manner."

Having said that, everyone heard the irony contained within, and bursts of laughter rang from within the teahouse.

Qing Zhan's face paled, but there was no intention of backing away. She stood in front of Helian Wei Wei, but before she could even open her mouth.

Helian Wei Wei suddenly stood up, crossed the wooden bench, and smiled at Hei Zhu. She did not cover up her magical nature, and the tear mole under her eyes seemed particularly clear when she smiled. The half-exposed white teeth at the corner of her mouth made her expression very hard to guess, "Isn't it a wager? What is the bet?"

Unsure whether if it was because of the big contrast, Hei Zhu was slightly dumbfounded when she said, "The bet?"

"It's fine if you are not sure, but," Helian Wei Wei stretched her hand and swiped it across the guqin beside her. Her position was concise and her action was clear and crisp as she picked open each string in the guqin one-by-one. Then, she turned her head around, narrowed her eyes at Hei Zhu, and said slowly, "Move away if you don't know, don't obstruct my view."

After Hei Zhu listened to this sentence, she immediately straightened up her neck. Her temperament was as expected for she was ready to explode once ignited, but before she opened her mouth, Yun Biluo held her hand down and smiled at Helian Wei Wei, "Let's make it like this, if I win, you step aside, if I lose... I'll tell you all about the information and clues for this time."

"Step aside?" Helian Wei Wei pondered and repeated these two words. After raising her eyes, she looked at Nangong Lie, "Is this your idea? Or their idea?"

After all, sometimes, Nangong Lie could still speak on behalf of the Third Prince.

Nangong Lie's furrowed his thick eyebrows and looked back at Yun Biluo before speaking to Helian Wei Wei, "I have nothing to do with this matter, I simply want to listen to a song."

"Oh really." Helian Wei Wei half-closed her eyelids, as if she was pondering something.

Hei Zhu sneered at the side, "Elder sister, why do you bet this with her? Once His Highness sees you, is there a need for her to step aside? His Highness will surely divorce her straight away."

Hearing this, Helian Wei Wei curved her lips and smiled. She raised her eyelids to meet Yun Biluo's gaze, "I will bet with you, but this bet is too small. I can step aside if I lose, it is but a title, you can take it if you want it. As for if I win, Hei Zhu's tongue, cut it down for me. How about it? Lady Yun, would you like to bet?"

Hearing this, Hei Zhu looked sharply towards Yun Biluo!

Yun Biluo kept silent, as if she was weighing the suggestion.

Hei Zhu did not believe this, and spoke in a strange tone, "Elder sister, since the princess consort said so, then just bet on it. Coincidentally, everyone can listen and enjoy. After all, elder sister's song is not the same as an ordinary person's song, so it is rare for everyone to hear it."

"All right." As if she had made an important decision, Yun Biluo smiled at Helian Wei Wei, as if being considerate to Helian Wei Wei, "Lady Wei Wei, you probably have no preparation, so shall I go first?"
