Chapter 600: A True Liking?

The little boy frowned. “Grilled fish?”

“Grilled fish of the brand Only Love Jue.” Helian Wei Wei looked at him with a grin. “What do you think? This name is pretty good, right?”

The little boy glanced at her and spoke slowly, “That’s such a common name, what are you happy about?”

“How is it common?!” Helian Wei Wei stared at him with wide eyes. “That’s your name and my name put together!”

The little boy raised an eyebrow. “Your name?”

“Wei Wei.” Helian Wei Wei seemed to think of something, and told him, “By the way, you must remember my face and my name, and be wiser during your consort selection. Don’t choose some Helian Jiao Er person, because then I’d still have to deal with rivals.”

Helian Wei Wei was over here advocating for her future welfare, but over there, the sensitive little boy was already starting to feel a little bashful.

Only Love Jue… Wei love Jue?1

This woman is really… I’ve never met someone who chatters as much she does!

The little boy turned around and poked the food container with a finger.

Seeing that, Helian Wei Wei took advantage of the opportunity to peek at the meal prepared inside the container. It would probably be better if she did not see it, because once she had taken a look, she felt cold all over. “This is all that the palace maid prepared for you to eat during this cold winter?”

Cold rice and stir-fried cabbage. There was some meat too, but the meat had so much fat on them that one would lose appetite upon seeing it.

“Her? She’s not brave enough to do that yet.” The little boy smiled.

Helian Wei Wei did not know if she had the wrong impression, but she kept feeling like there was something wrong with that smile.

The little boy seemed unconcerned as he picked up the food container and fed the meal to the sparrows outside.

Helian Wei Wei was dazzled. After His Highness became an adult, he was like a walking refrigerator, exuding a certain coldness wherever he went. He was aloof and emotionless, uninterested in mundane affairs. Let’s not talk about feeding little critters, even going near them would have him washing his hands for a whole day. It was obvious that His Highness was kinder now, and as long as good education was provided, he would definitely not have any more thoughts about tying her up in the future!

However…

“These sparrows are not dead, so the rice can be eaten.” The handsome side profile of the little boy was still very indifferent, but he looked at her with an even more mocking gaze.

Helian Wei Wei thought, …So him feeding the sparrows just now was just to test if the meal was poisoned? Treasuring small animals and whatnot… I truly did think too much!

But if he had to go as far as to check his meals for poison, it seemed that the situation was even worse than she had thought.

It was similar to what Baili Jia Jue said, as the palace maid was nowhere near brave enough to mess with his meals.

She was under the Empress, so she would usually have pretty good meals and clothes. Although she would deprive the Third Prince a little, she would not make things look that bad.

Something must have happened to this food container when it was in the Imperial Kitchen.

And someone who could pull strings in the Imperial Kitchen must at least be an imperial concubine.

Suddenly, Helian Wei Wei thought of the Empress from the House of Murong.

If she calculated carefully, right now that future Empress should still be an imperial concubine.

Even an imperial concubine could do such things, it showed how the current Empress paid no notice to Baili Jia Jue.

Moreover, there was the rumored Eldest Prince who had died a long time ago…

The Eldest Prince should be fourteen or fifteen now.

If nothing went wrong, it was supposed to be his time to enjoy the limelight.

But instead, the Retired Emperor, who was not in the Capital, only favored the Third Prince, and their relationship was not at all subtle.

In other words, if it was not the previous Empress Murong, then it could be the previous Eldest Prince who was bullying Baili Jia Jue in secret.

What was wrong with these people, who were jealous of a defenseless child?

His own parents did not care about him. A prince who could not even compare to a master of a wealthy family, and yet he still had to bear with all these people scheming against him.

The more Helian Wei Wei thought about it, the more upset she felt. Her gaze darkened, like she was thinking about something, a seriousness within her eyes.

His Highness was in this situation because firstly, he had not yet captured Fire Qilin, so his martial Qi had not developed completely yet. Secondly, he did not have any relatives outside, causing other people to treat him in this way as they could not see what position he was in to be able to fight for the crown.

From other aspects, in this big struggle within the palace, Baili Jia Jue seemed to have lost his right to fight for the throne a long time ago.

Originally, the main Empress had been born from a background more noble than any other prince, but because of her negligence, she did not win the Emperor’s favor, which caused everyone else to disregard this prince.

The eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, as well as the generals and ministers outside, all of them knew deep in their hearts, that a prince who could not become a crown prince, was destined to be unsuccessful. That was why they dared to bully His Highness so badly, in order to gain even more power in the future…

Helian Wei Wei slowly clenched her fists. Were these people looking down on His Highness?

Well, they will counterattack to show these people, to let them know who would be the one to become the crown prince!

Helian Wei Wei had decided that while she was staying here, she would help him to clear his obstacles, little by little, and elevate him to that position!

As Helian Wei Wei was deep in her thoughts, a dainty little girl walked toward them.

Just like in her dream, the little girl looked sweet, with a fair face, wearing a long light-colored dress, covered with a pink fur cloak. She looked as cute as a princess, probably the kind of girl that all the boys would have a crush on when they were kids.

She glanced at Helian Wei Wei, seemingly surprised that there was still someone serving here. She looked toward Baili Jia Jue, then she bent over and set down the food in her hands. She turned and ran, as though she was afraid that Baili Jia Jue would talk to her.

Helian Wei Wei was initially still holding a tree branch, which was used to pierce fish. At the moment, she felt a little pain in her hand. She opened her hand to take a look, and found that a small thorn had stabbed into her palm when she was not paying attention.

Baili Jia Jue held the food in his arms, looking at her calmly.

The corners of Helian Wei Wei’s mouth curved up, but without any warmth. She probably felt a little tired. “I remember that you don’t have the habit of accepting food from other people.”

“The food that she brings aren’t poisoned,” said Baili Jia Jue faintly, his eyes following the girl.

Helian Wei Wei watched him, and said in a low voice, “This is the first time you’ve trusted a person so much. Did you really like the previous Helian Wei Wei?”

“What?” The little boy was looking at the hole in the ice at the surface of the lake, thinking that he could use this to kill the palace maid without anyone knowing, and he did not even need to use a knife. He just had to wait until night, and push her into the ice…

Helian Wei Wei looked at him and shook her head, smiling. “Nothing.” He was still young, there was no point in asking him that. She would talk about it after she brought him back, as there was nothing more important than waking him up!
