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.
