“Why are you looking at me? Look at your brush.”

I could not believe he could still say these at this moment in time.

Helian Wei Wei bit her thin lips as she sneered. With a backhand flip, she pinned him beneath her.

She had originally planned to show Baili Jia Jue that she was not weak.

She swore that it was not as she had intended!

However...

The door of the carriage opened...

Eunuch Sun and Qing Zhan stood outside the carriage entrance, shocked at what they saw and gasped to themselves, “I-I never thought that Her Highness would be so wild.”

Wild?

What?

Helian Wei Wei glanced out from the carriage and turned her head to look at the position of her pinning Baili Jia Jue, this seemed a little bit intimate?

Wait!

Come back, Eunuch Sun!

This was all a mistake!

Helian Wei Wei wanted to get up but saw that the noble and handsome young man was smirking at her, with cunning eyes.

At that moment, she knew that all of these had been planned by His Highness.

He knew that they had already reached their destination, but let her pin him down on purpose!

“Your Highness, won’t you get tired of being manipulative every day?” Helian Wei Wei was lazy to argue with him and laid down in that position since Baili Jia Jue did not mind at all anyway.

He reached out and held her, his fingers running through her hair, even though he could not see her face, he knew that she was yawning, and with a calm voice, he said, “So you should hide your claws, do not meet people that you are not supposed to meet, if I could not withstand it and break your claws, then you will be the one in pain.”

It was only a coincidence for him to find out she was meeting the Second Master Hei, and he kept on bringing up this incident to mock her. He was so domineering and vengeful, even though she only broke the agreement once. It was not easy for her to meet people as she needed to take a risk every time she did it. Of course, Helian Wei Wei was not that st*pid to voice out her own thoughts as it would only bring her more trouble. Hence, she burrowed her head into his embrace so their position seemed more natural and said, “Those are hands, not claws.”

She was not a dog, claws were just nonsense.

Baili Jia Jue kept silent and played with one of her hands, her palm was soft but her nails were hard. If these were not claws then what would they be?

“Meet me once a day when you are at the academy.”

“We are deskmates, not seeing each other would be quite hard isn’t it?” Wei Wei raised her eyebrows in confusion.

He released her slowly. “I meant at night.”

“You want me to use my identity as a Princess Consort to meet a male classmate every night?” She glanced at him and continued, “Do you want me to get expelled by the academy or would you like to annul our marriage by stating that I had broken either three out of seven marriage laws?”

He straightened out his sleeves and said, “Shadow will be following you, nobody will notice.”

Helian Wei Wei thought for a moment and said, “I do not think this will be convenient.” Was he not scared of revealing his identity?

“Have it your way.” Baili Jia Jue looked at her impassively, “It seems that it is definitely inconvenient to meet me instead of Second Master Hei.”

Helian Wei Wei stiffened, she knew that she could not make mistakes, if she did, she would be belittled by him!

“We were talking about business.”

Baili Jia Jue finished straightening his clothes and cleared his throat, “I asked you to meet me as we are going to talk about business too, if not,” he paused for a moment and continued, “What did you think it would be about?”

She believed that... when facing His Highness that tended to not play by the rules, she would need to be level-headed.

“I believe that we would talk about business too. What kind of business would Your Highness like to talk about?” Helian Wei Wei tightened her robes and looked astutely at him.

Baili Jia Jue slowly voiced out two words, “Military firearms.”

Her eyes lit up. “Sure.” She had always wanted to establish a military firearms unit, but if this was found and reported, the royal family would not forgive her.

Now she could start planning since she cooperated with the Third Prince.

However...

“For a prince to illegally deal in firearms, aren’t you afraid to be convicted of treason?” Isn’t he scared? Especially when the state of affairs now is full of chaos.

Baili Jia Jue calmly stated, “The royal family needs firearms to suppress other powers.”

Actually, the Retired Emperor and the Emperor allowed it. Helian Wei Wei understood even though Baili Jia Jue did not reveal much. In fact, this was a good opportunity to earn easy money.

“When the time comes, tell me how many people you need,” He paused for a moment and wrapped his arms around her, “Do suggest a name that is easy on the ears.”

“Huh?” Helian Wei Wei was slow to react, “What name?”

Baili Jia Jue lowered his eyes to look at her, “The name of the firearms company.”

She was tasked with naming the company? She was not really into naming all this while...

Helian Wei Wei opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Eunuch Sun’s voice rang from outside the carriage, “Your Highness, it is almost dark, we would not get there in time if we do not ascend the mountain.”

After Eunuch Sun finished saying his words, he silently raised his head and thought in his heart. Since the Princess Consort is so wild, can His Highness even stand it? Should I order the royal kitchen to cook some tonic for His Highness?

When Helian Wei Wei saw Eunuch Sun’s gaze, she immediately knew what he was thinking about and wanted to explain the scene he had just seen.

However, Baili Jia Jue sent Eunuch Sun away, “Go and lead my horse here.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Eunuch Sun knew the meaning behind Baili Jia Jue’s actions. As his master did not want to reveal his identity, another ordinary black horse was prepared, so Baili Jia Jue and Helian Wei Wei could part ways to ascend the mountain.

Helian Wei Wei would use the horse carriage, as everybody knew that the Princess Consort would be returning to the academy. Hence, the horse carriage was necessary whereas on matters regarding the prince, no one knew except for them.

Baili Jia Jue descended the carriage and Qing Zhan accompanied Wei Wei for the remaining journey. Qing Zhan silently served Wei Wei as usual but she looked at Wei Wei in a subtle manner.

Helian Wei Wei held her forehead in embarrassment. “Girl, it’s not what you think it is.”

“I understand.” Qing Zhan thought for a while and put down the teapot that she was using to pour tea for Wei Wei, and with a serious expression, she continued, “It is easy for one to lose self-control because of His Highness’s look.”

Helian Wei Wei thought to herself. Lose? Self-control?

“So, Prince Consort, you need to take care of him.” Qing Zhan lowered her eyes, obviously hinting at something.

Helian Wei Wei’s lips twitched and smiled in amusement, but she gave no attention toward it. “I understand. Let’s not talk about him, let’s talk about you. Which academy would you like to go to?”

“Me?” Qing Zhan was shocked, she always thought that she was only a maid to accompany the Princess Consort.

Helian Wei Wei lazily answered her, “Well, you are an agent of His Highness, so your qualifications are eligible. I think you would be able to go to a Fine Compound, but you would need to be tested.”

Qing Zhan was happy as she heard the princess praised her. She then asked, “Which academy will your Royal Highness be in? Is it the Fine Compound?”

Wei Wei lightly coughed and answered, “I am in the Inferior Compound.”

Qing Zhan thought to herself. How bad would the White Academy’s worst student be?

She even won the Martial Qi Competition.

Qing Zhan felt that the Princess Consort was becoming more of a mystery.

If it was the same as what Hei Zhu said, then when Elder Sister returns what about Her Highness’s situation...

Qing Zhan did not continue her trail of thoughts. She only hoped that the Princess Consort would become stronger, if she did, maybe she could win.
