The Anarchic Consort Novel - Chapter 464
Chapter 464: His Highness Gifted Roses to Wei Wei
“In my humble opinion, the Princess Consort was so smart in coming up with this idea. She might be the only one in the world that could come up with it!” Eunuch Sun, who stood at the side listening, poured a cup of tea for Baili Jia Jue with a smile on his face.
Baili Jia Jue raised one of his attractive eyebrows and said faintly, “Smart indeed, but not ruthless enough.”
Eunuch Sun was speechless. If this was not ruthless enough, then that person from the Su family might not be able to survive until early autumn, something would probably happen to him in his fit of anger.
However, he was really curious as to how his master would have dealt with it.
“What about Your Highness? What would you do instead?”
Baili Jia Jue threw his outer robe aside casually as he loosened his collar and said indifferently, “I would’ve sent Su Yan Mo’s corpse to Prime Minister Su directly.”
Eunuch Sun was rendered speechless.
Prime Minister Su would have been shocked to death!
Speaking of being shameless, the Princess Consort was indeed no match for his master when it came to pissing people off…
As if oblivious to his gaze, Baili Jia Jue draped his outer robe around his shoulders, showing off his dashing and well-proportioned figure. “Prepare the carriage, we’re leaving the palace.”
“What? Leaving the palace?” Eunuch Sun followed quickly, not knowing why His Highness wanted to go out all of a sudden.
When Baili Jia Jue stepped outside, he suddenly stopped short and glanced indifferently at the flowers planted in the imperial garden with his feet frozen to the ground. He then turned his head to Eunuch Sun after a moment and said, “Where can I get roses in the imperial palace?”
“Ah?” Eunuch Sun found it somewhat hard to get His Highness’ drift today. What roses?
Suddenly, Little Seventh Prince popped out of nowhere, mumbling with a goldfish in his mouth, “Third Brother, are you looking for roses?”
“Mmhmm.” Baili Jia Jue glanced at him. “Do you know?”
Little Seventh Prince touched his bald head, “Aren’t there still a lot of those that Third Aunt gave you the last time in your royal chamber?”
“Not those.” Baili Jia Jue rejected his suggestion calmly without telling him the reason.
Little Seventh Prince knew how much his Third Brother treasured those precious roses, but roses in other places…
“My goodness, Little Master!” Eunuch Sun suddenly came to his senses as he grabbed the little boy. “How can you eat the fish this way! This is raw fish! Your Highness, why didn’t you say something? What would we do if he fell sick from eating raw fish?”
Ignoring Eunuch Sun’s attempt to stop him, the Little Seventh Prince kept the beautiful goldfish in his mouth, unmoved by Eunuch Sun’s efforts.
Eunuch Sun felt mentally and physically exhausted.
Only then did Baili Jia Jue look at the little boy and he said, “Open your mouth.”
Little Seventh Prince spat out the goldfish into Eunuch Sun’s hand reluctantly.
Eunuch Sun quickly released the goldfish that was still alive into the water so that the Little Seventh Prince would not be able to put it in his mouth again.
How on earth did those chefs in the imperial kitchen take care of the Seventh Prince until he was this starved!
The chefs would have spat blood at the wrongful accusation. It was not their fault as the Seventh Prince would eat everything he laid his eyes on!
In reality, this really had nothing to do with the imperial kitchen at all. From long ago, Baili Jia Jue had known of his younger brother’s enormous appetite, so he had ordered the imperial kitchen to be on standby 24 hours a day and to cook 12 meals a day in prevention of the little one getting hungry.
If Seventh Prince’s appetite were to be compared, it could only be said that when other boys could only finish a cake and some candied fruit for afternoon tea, the Little Seventh Prince could finish ten meat buns and a side dish. Food like snacks were merely appetizers for him…
Initially, they thought that with all the preparation that they had done, the Little Seventh Prince would definitely not have eyed the goldfish in the pond.
The Retired Emperor had already asked numerous times about his goldfish that kept disappearing, and every time, they were unable to answer. The only thing they could do was to keep adding extra meals for the Little Seventh Prince! Keep adding!
Little did they know… he would not even spare the last goldfish in the pond…
Eunuch Sun sighed deeply.
The little boy was not in despair despite losing his food and followed behind Baili Jia Jue. His height only reached Baili Jia Jue’s thigh and his solemnly brave face made him look extremely domineering and overbearing as if he would bite whoever came near them.
Ordinary people would not dare to come near them with him standing there.
As such, Eunuch Sun left to prepare the carriage for his two masters at ease.
Now that it was not just His Highness who was leaving the palace, more food would have to be prepared and put in the carriage.
Yup, 20 meat buns would do the trick.
Would the imperial kitchen have time and manpower to make the buns though…
“Third Brother, why do you have to specifically get roses?” The little boy grabbed onto Baili Jia Jue’s robe, struggling to keep up with his pace.
Baili Jia Jue answered indifferently, “A present for your aunt.” He did not know what roses symbolized, but referring to the ‘Court Your Wife’ manual that she always read, roses would probably be the best choice.
Once Little Seventh Prince heard that the roses were for Helian Wei Wei, he uttered with a serious expression, “Third Brother, I think you should give something practical to the Third Aunt like that pair of cranes in Imperial Grandfather’s courtyard, they must taste good!”
Eunuch Sun was rather speechless.
Why it seemed like he could hear the Seventh Prince eyeing the Retired Emperor’s recent favorite pair of cranes as soon as he came back?
Little Master, the Retired Emperor will not be able to tolerate it anymore if you continue to eat like this! He will send you back to the White Academy again!
“Cranes?” Baili Jia Jue stopped in thought.
Eunuch Sun’s eyes widened. No, it could not be…
“No.” Baili Jia Jue continued, “Your Third Aunt thought the previous things I gave her were all weird.”
Eunuch Sun heaved a sigh of relief. Thank goodness.
Little Seventh Prince asked with sparkling eyes, “What did Third Brother give to Third Aunt?” He wanted presents as well.
“A collar.”
Eunuch Sun and the little boy froze at the two words uttered…
They exchanged glances with each other.
Sighing deeply, Eunuch Sun held Little Seventh Prince’s hand. “Little Master, I will no longer say that you give weird presents to others anymore. If you meet the girl you like in the future, give her food as a present.” Giving food would be better than giving a collar that would receive rejection in response for sure!
The handsome Little Seventh Prince said solemnly, “Don’t worry, Eunuch Sun, I consider myself normal compared to Third Brother.”
The chef from the imperial kitchen who came to deliver the meat buns was speechless upon hearing that… Normal my foot! Why don’t you ask around to see if any child eats baskets of food like you!
Baili Jia Jue ignored them talking as he walked toward the west side of the imperial garden to see that there were only about a few dozen or so roses left.
At first, Eunuch Sun wanted to summon the gardener who took care of these roses to pluck flowers for His Highness.
However, before he could take action, he caught a glimpse of a white robe moving slightly, accompanied by a pleasant fragrance that reached his nose.
Standing at the center of the flowering shrubs, Baili Jia Jue was already holding a big bouquet of blooming roses in his hand as his long robe danced in the wind, a figure that was both gracious, dignified and pure as jade, making for a view that was hard to turn away from…
