After he finished speaking, he then felt that talking like this, was apparently even more gossipy.
He rigidly bent towards Baili Jia Jue’s body and asked. “Your Highness, when will you settle down and get married?”
“Three days later.” Baili Jia Jue spoke emotionlessly, answering the other party with a few words.
Not to mention those several young men who were struck dumb, even Eunuch Sun appeared to be struck with lightning.
“Three, three days from now?” Eunuch Sun stammered, smiling with a little difficulty. “Your Highness is joking again. You haven’t even chosen who’s to be your consort, how can you get married?”
In addition, your getting married, how come I didn’t know anything about it, Retired Emperor, the old person, also hadn’t received the news, you know? Getting married, didn’t this kind of thing require two people in order to accomplish it, who’s the other person? Your Highness, speaking this way, indeed, making jokes truly isn’t your forte!
Baili Jia Jue looked slowly at Eunuch Sun.
Eunuch Sun’s scalp quaked.
The several sons of noble families looked at each other. “We shouldn’t bother His Highness further. There’s still an hour left for rest. Your Highness can have a good sleep.”
After speaking, those people all mounted their respective warhorses. Baili Jia Jue maintained his previous actions, slowly closing his eyes.
Eunuch Sun stood outside the horse carriage and watched the smiling expression at the corners of his mouth slowly vanish, as a slight chill burst forth.
After about half an incense’s time, Retired Emperor commanded the end of the rest period and for all to get ready to start again.
Having received the order, Hei Ze walked to the front of his warhorse, but didn’t have a chance to mount when he was obstructed by a slender silhouette.
That man didn’t seem to be waiting for him on purpose, an indifferent appearance, covered in silver clothes and black hair, rather like an otherworldly immortal. His face was covered by a silver mask, only exposing a pair of demonically cold, apathetic eyes.
“Your Highness.” Hei Ze’s motionless expression greeted him with courtesy.
Baili Jia Jue watched him with a smile that’s not a smile, his entire body radiated an aura of self-restraint that’s difficult to describe, yet made people tremble with fear.
“Stay farther from her.” The man slowly looked up and watched Hei Ze’s surprised gaze. His cold face seemed to be a perfectly carved ice sculpture. “Even if you don’t care about reputation, she, as a young lady from an influential family, needs to maintain appearances.”
Hei Ze smiled wickedly and was going to say then what if I don’t behave accordingly.
When he heard Baili Jia Jue’s voice again coldly sounded from the side of his ear. “That young lady that you grew up with, seems to be of marriageable age. Tell me, should I have Imperial Grandfather grant a marriage to her or not.”
Hei Ze suddenly raised his head, his eyes narrowing. He’d always known that Third Prince wasn’t easy to handle, however, what he didn’t expect was that he was difficult to handle to this degree.
How did that girl provoke this kind of man.
An expert at hitting someone where it hurts.
Hei Ze smiled. “Your Highness is right, getting too close to her indeed can affect her reputation. I thought about things too simplistically. Even if I want to get closer, I need to wait until Grandfather nod his head first.”
The last sentence was one Hei Ze deliberately added.
He didn’t believe that Third Prince would come and warn him because of a woman without a reason.
Baili Jia Jue curved up his thin lips, and walked forward one step. Those eyes hidden in depth seemed to be an iced fog rising in the dark of night. As he brushed past Hei Ze, he only left a chillingly ice-cold warning. “You can wait and see if the elder Hei will nod his head first, or if that childhood sweetheart of yours will be married off first.”
In an instant, Hei Ze’s left hand clenched tightly, his smiling expression became weaker in the next second. After a moment, he again smiled, his fingers pressing against his forehead.
He thought the matter of that girl provoking His Highness last time was already taken care of.
Didn’t expect it’s still not finished.
But to have him believe that Third Prince liked that girl, also wasn’t possible.
Could it be that the rumors were true, Third Prince choosing a consort was merely an excuse, in order to protect the girl he truly cared about?
