The Anarchic Consort (1)

364-366

Fine. It's rather pretty anyway. I'll just wear it.

Helian Wei Wei had always been quite open-minded about these matters. She wore a smile on her face as she chattered with Wet Nurse Xu.

The collar was decent, at least it could hide the marks on her neck.

Baili Jia Jue was sitting on the wooden chair as he listened. He supported his chin with his left hand while holding an ancient book in his right hand, returning to his usual noble self. Clad casually in a white shirt and a green robe, his pose was straight while his handsome face was regal and elegant. He had a profound, down-to-earth temperament but his expression was placid and tranquil as usual.

As she held the robe in her hand, Wet Nurse Xu deliberately lowered her voice and stopped talking about her work. She seemed relieved as she looked at Helian Wei Wei, and uttered, "There are some things that I'm not sure if an old lady like me should say. If I have made any mistakes, I hope the princess consort can forgive me."

Helian Wei Wei put the clothing aside, "Is Mistress Xu referring to Yun Biluo?"

Wet Nurse Xu's fingers froze. Then, she smiled, "There is nothing I can hide from the princess consort's eyes." Others claimed that the Helian family's first young lady was a truly unsightly lady, without beauty or a brain. However, Wet Nurse Xu could see that she was a bright and sharp individual.

Helian Wei Wei grinned, "Mistress Xu, I'm not interested in her. You can tell Baili Jia Jue whatever you want directly."

Wet Nurse Xu was stunned. She did not expect such an answer.

She thought that she was a selfish lady and would be enraged.

She also thought that the princess consort was aware of everything, and wanted to find someone to discuss how to help Young Lady Yun settle down.

However, it seemed that Helian Wei Wei's reaction did not fall within these two possibilities.

"Has the princess consort not thought about letting Young Lady Yun settle down?" Wet Nurse Xu had been in the palace for a long time, witnessing the Third Prince and Yun Biluo growing up.

Helian Wei Wei simply laughed, "Settle down?"

Wet Nurse Xu explained hurriedly, "Princess consort, this old servant has no other intentions. His Highness has a solitary character since young and rarely asks for something that he wants. Previously, I thought His Highness only married you because of the Retired Emperor's wish. However, it seems that His Highness really treasures the princess consort now. I simply hope that the princess consort can give Young Lady Yun a chance when it is time for His Highness to wed a secondary consort."

Helian Wei Wei stared at Wet Nurse Xu, partially smiling. "It seems that Granny Xu really takes care of Miss Yun like your own child." action

Wet Nurse Xu knew that her request was too much, "Please do not be angry, princess consort."

"I'm not angry," Helian Wei Wei smiled indifferently. "Every mother will do things they usually won't for her child. However, I also have the right to refuse such matters. If Baili Jia Jue really wanted to marry a secondary consort, I would not interfere. I would neither help nor disapprove anyone, so Granny Xu does not need to worry about this." She would have left instantly at that point in time. She had no care about such matters.

Wet Nurse Xu's limbs froze unnaturally. "It was very out of bounds for me to make such a ridiculous request from the princess consort."

Helian Wei Wei did not refute this but merely glanced at her, "Since you know you are asking for too much, do not mention this again. I do not know if Baili Jia Jue would wed a secondary consort, but do you think he would do this, Granny Xu?"
