The Anarchic Consort [ Chapter 1 - 199 ]

Chapter 55: Prior To The Consort Selection

Nangong Lie rubbed his chin, “That Minister Jing who accompanied you to lunch today is their ring leader.”

Eunuch Sun retracted his neck and observed the gaze His Highness was looking at him with. His forehead was again covered in cold sweat, “Your Highness, this old servant swears, this old servant really am not familiar with him at all!” After speaking, he glanced again at Nangong Lie, [Young Master Lie, mm, you’re actually in the process of pushing me towards the fiery pit of hell.] They’ve been winding around in a big circle like this just for the sake of burying him alive!

“How could that be.” Nangong Lie extended one of his hands and placed it on his shoulder, full of wickedness as he winked his left eye,“You should relax. Your master’s heart knows everything very clearly. He doesn’t need anyone to push him.”

Eunuch Sun’s entire body became rigid!

His master’s pair of eyes were mystical and unfathomable. They really, truly make a person’s pair of legs go weak.

“All right. Don’t waste anymore time. Your master still needs you do do some things.” Nangong Lie wantonly and unrestrainedly withdrew his hand.

Baili Jia Jue’s tone was as before, nonchalant and indifferent, “Under what pretext did you come from the Superior Compound?”

“I said that I’ve eaten much and needs to go to the toilet.” Eunuch Sun hastily answered, “Please rest assured, Your Highness. Even if I’ve been given a hundred gallbladders, I still wouldn’t reveal your identity!”

Baili Jia Jue glanced at him, “The time it took for you to go to the toilet has been long enough. You can return.”

Eunuch Sun opened and reopened his mouth. Finally, he clenched his teeth, “Your Highness, the consort selection matter, you……you.” He originally was going to say you and Retired Emperor played hide and seek for such a long time, when are you going to end it. The royal troops already waited at the base of the mountain for two days. If they keep waiting, sooner or later, people will discover them.”

Ah, hello! Please forgive him, but he really didn’t have the courage to open his mouth!

“At dusk, I’ll go down the mountain.”

After he heard that, Eunuch Sun unbelievably managed to raise his head, but only had enough time to see the sleeves fluttering away in the wind……

The sun is setting the west. At the same old place; at the sparsely populated compound. Arranged on top of the bookshelf were many ancient scrolls.

An elderly man sat upright aloft, contentedly looking at Wei Wei completing her meditation. He extended his hand and stroked his beard.

Since her qi channels were previously damaged, everytime Wei Wei advanced, she would feel so much pain that her face turned pale. This time was no different. Her forehead was covered in sweat.

“Girl, if you’re too tired, then rest a bit.” Huan Ming Xiang had never seen any family’s daughter like this child, intelligent, and so willing to bear hardships.

Wei Wei smiled a bit, then jumped up and reclined on an imperial concubine chair as she lazily stretched her waist “I’ll take a nap here, so I can have energy to cadge a free meal when night comes.”

“Cadge a free meal.” Huan Ming Xiang’s white brows creased. He then seemingly unintentionally asked, “I heard that Third Prince will be coming to White Academy. The girls from other families are all thinking about how to succeed in the selection. What, are you not on the namelist for the consort selection?

Wei Wei yawned and answered vaguely, “I am. However, I’m not very interested in getting married. Moreover, the kind of person that the Third Prince is, is also totally not my cup of tea.”

“Good. Girl, if you can think this way, then it can’t be any better!” Huan Ming Xiang immediately stood up and as if he’d found his lifetime’s one true friend and said, “That person of his is actually quite good looking, but he is just too hard to argue with! You certainly can forget about counting on him having any logic in the way he thinks. No matter what you say, he could still treat it as if he didn’t hear a thing. After staying with him for awhile, he’s going to make you angry enough to die!”

After Wei Wei heard this, she touched her chin and sighed with emotion as she declared, “So it seems that the Third Prince, apart from a good looking face, really has no other redeeming qualities.”

“It’s good that you understand.” Huan Ming Xiang was rather gratified as he patted her shoulder, “Be sure not to let that face of his confuse your senses.”

Wei Wei smiled, “One really couldn’t tell that Third Prince is a pretty boy.”

After having heard these last few words, Shadow’s foot, more or less almost slipped from the tree branch. He simply didn’t dare to believe his own ears. What the heck did he just hear!

Pretty boy?

They said that His Highness was a pretty boy! ! ! !

Not good. He needed to fly back and report to His Highness!

After a period of time……

At a corner of the Inferior Compound. The smell of sandalwood lingered in the room. One could only make out a blurry figure in the middle of getting dressed by a servant.

It seemed like he’d just woken up. His voice carried a distinctive magnetism and was husky, “Pretty boy?”
