Chapter 425: Wei Wei Joining The Selection
Baili Jia Jue was not hurrying it. As he rubbed against her consecutively, he finally heard the response he wanted to hear, but he seemed to struggle trying to control himself…
He recalled that some guests would be arriving soon, hence he contained himself and halted. Then, he held her in his arms and allowed his breathing to calm down.
It was merely an innocent hug.
Nothing was done.
However, it felt great in a different manner.
She kissed him again with a faint smile on her face.
Baili Jia Jue whispered in her ears, “Don’t tempt me.”
Helian Wei Wei merely smiled naughtily and lazily.
She did not know if all the couples that were in love also liked being so close to one another.
She only knew that she loved the sensation of this type of physical contact.
That kiss had happened naturally. The sweet aroma exuding from the tip of his tongue was overly seductive…
At the same time, Yun Biluo was talking and laughing with the young ladies after seeing the announcement.
“Sister Yun, you are so impressive. You easily snagged first place.”
“Who dares to refute it? This beauty judgment was not for the Capital only. The most beautiful person in the entire War Dragon Empire is none other than Sister Yun.”
Yun Biluo merely smiled gently after listening to them. She looked like a sickly beauty, fragile but very amicable. She replied, “This is just a coincidence. Helian Jiao Er is quite beautiful too when compared with me, what is her ranking?”
“Speaking of the devil, it does seem very odd.” The surrounding people shook their heads and continued, “We have no idea what happened but someone came out of the blue and snatched second place from Jiao Er.”
Yun Biluo was astounded by it and asked, “Someone is actually prettier than Jiao Er? What is her serial number?”
“Number five.”
Yun Biluo’s hands suddenly paused while she was fanning herself, “What number did you say was in second place?”
“It’s number five.” The people could not comprehend why Yun Biluo’s expression abruptly paled, “Sister Yun, what is wrong with you? Are you unwell?”
Yun Biluo forced a smile on her face and simply shook her head, as she quietly clenched her fist.
Number five?
She is number five!
Does that mean that she is in second place?
The person who comes first in the beauty judgment is someone else?
How is that possible?
Who is in the first place?
Yun Biluo searched for something in secret away from the peering eyes, as her long, narrow eyebrows furrowed tightly.
She could no longer register what they said afterward.
She could have never predicted the results to turn out this way.
Even after racking her brain, she could not figure out who could rival her beauty in the entire Capital.
Who is that person exactly?
On the other hand, Helian Jiao Er was slightly disappointed as she could not find any information about the ‘village girl’.
She did not believe that she could not deal with a wh*re with no power or authority like her.
Since she failed to find her, she decided to wait for the selection of secondary consort to catch her red-handed there.
The evaluation during the first stage was the martial Qi ranking.
After all, a candidate might be a piece of trash who could not even light up a crystal ball.
The beauty judgment was implemented to hand-pick the first wave of candidates.
Only 10 people had passed the first round.
Helian Jiao Er knew very well that out of the 10 of them, no one else could hold a candle to her other than Yun Biluo.
Furthermore, she now had the support of Lord Liao who managed the imperial officers. Thus, she firmly believed that she could defeat the other secondary consort candidates.
Once she became the secondary consort, she would immediately let the little b*stard Helian Wei Wei have a taste of her own medicine. All the humiliation and insults she suffered in the past, she would gladly return the favor to her!
A mute, expressionless, and emotionless ugly woman like Helian Wei Wei dared to constantly challenge her status.
She could even overpower a man 20 years older than her.
Can that ugly woman do it too?
Just as her mother had said, no matter how capable a lady was at martial arts, people would ultimately judge her by her face.
Haha.
Helian Jiao Er began to laugh. She could not wait to see how distorted the little b*stard’s expression would be when Helian Wei Wei found out that she had become the secondary consort…
“That’s enough, stop searching for it. Leave it until later.”
True. It is not too late to wait until they see the ‘village girl’. They did not find a trace of her even after scouring everywhere for an entire day, it is simply a waste of energy…
Night had fallen as the shadows of the trees swayed in the bright light of the oil lamps.
The Retired Emperor resided in the Ninth Palace, it was the quietest palace in the entire imperial place.
Helian Wei Wei and Baili Jia Jue were sitting across the Retired Emperor at the dining table, which was laden with dozens of delicious and appetizing dishes.
The Retired Emperor looked at Helian Wei Wei, obviously having something to say.
After a moment of deliberation, he finally uttered, “Ah Jue, since Wei Wei is here too, then I will speak bluntly with you. You must be present at the selection of secondary consort tomorrow! If not, you should know what the consequences are. Your throne as the crown prince will be rescinded!”
He did not wish to see the grandson he painstakingly nurtured, and the only person who could truly inherit the throne as the Emperor of the War Dragon Empire, to be ruined by this type of issue.
Hence, the Retired Emperor decided to mention the ancestor’s rules.
Baili Jia Jue merely fed her as usual, but he suddenly put down the chopsticks in his hands. Then, he glanced nonchalantly at the Retired Emperor and simply said, “So cancel it.”
The Retired Emperor’s expression stiffened, verging on having a heart attack.
However, Helian Wei Wei raised her delicate brows and asked with a clear voice, “What if the selection of secondary consort go on as usual? His right to the throne will not be revoked then?”
The Retired Emperor nodded and let out a long sigh, “Little girl, can you promise me? This little cold kid must be afraid that you will feel mistreated. Therefore, all this while, he would mess with whoever that tried to mention the issue about the selection of a secondary consort. The morning court was in havoc for the past two days and the ministers have many things to say about him already.”
“Whoever that has something to say, say it to me,” Baili Jia Jue spoke calmly, but a hint of menace leaked from his cold tone.
The one thing that the Retired Emperor hated to witness the most was Baili Jia Jue losing control of himself. However, actions needed to be taken to placate the upset members of the public.
Helian Wei Wei simply glanced at the Retired Emperor and looked at Baili Jia Jue. Then, she placed her hand on his shoulder and said, “I want to talk with the Retired Emperor, don’t interrupt him first.”
After listening to her, Baili Jia Jue merely pouted. However, a playful grin appeared on his face later. This little thing, she even dares to command me?
Ha.
Fine. He wanted to hear what she had to say too.
“Imperial Grandfather.” Helian Wei Wei looked at the Retired Emperor’s eyes while smiling faintly, and uttered, “I’m fine with selecting a secondary consort. However, I heard that it is done because of a rule descended from ancestors. Apparently, the crown prince needs to find a lady who is exceptionally beautiful and proficient in martial arts to assist him. Only then, the War Dragon Empire would grow prosperous and powerful. Since a perfect lady is needed, can I join the selection? It should be fine, right?”
The Retired Emperor was dumbfounded. Then, he replied, “It’s fine, but…” He had not forgotten the reason for selecting a secondary consort. It was simply because her face was too dark. Yet, she actually tells me that she wants to join in as well?
