There were also a few plates of peanuts and chestnuts, it was very auspicious. Of course there was also the moonlight wine glass.

Helian Wei Wei stood up to pour herself a glass of wine. She then cracked open a peanut and put it in her mouth.

As she continued chewing, she took off the phoenix crown on her head letting loose her long black hair against her wedding dress and walked barefoot into the bath chamber, her feet beautiful and her toenails were rounded and transparent.

She reached into the bath to test the hot water and found that the temperature was just right so she didn’t have to ask the servant to come in. She applied the balm directly on her hair and washed it clean. After she used the incense fire to dry her hair she walked back out.

Her body leaned against the sandalwood carved chaise longue with her black, silky black hair hanging on her arm.

She didn’t think that the Third Prince would come tonight, so she looked through a scroll to pass time, yawning from time to time, feeling more and more tired.

She wore a cloud-shaped skirt with a rose gilt and a red cotton gauze between the arms. She was not wearing the cumbersome outer shirt. As she sniffed the smell of the incense, she felt like sleeping.

It was okay at first, after all, the palace was very quiet, and it was easy to fall asleep.

Later on, she wasn’t sure if it was the black fur beneath her. But unfamiliar tremors rose from the back of her spine, and her fair skin oozed a thin layer of sweat. The blood in her blood vessels flowed quickly, and her hands and feet felt weak.

What was going on?

Just as Helian Wei Wei frowned, she heard some noises coming from outside.

“Your Highness.” Bai Mei was outside the hall, not expecting His Highness to return so early, she kneeled on the ground.

Baili Jia Jue reached out both hands to loosen his collar of his red robe,and said in a languid manner: “You can all retreat.”

Bai Mei looked up at Shadow. Shadow nodded at her. The two of them respectfully replied: “Yes.”

Helian Wei Wei had wanted to get up, but she could not find the strength. She kept her lazy posture and raised her eyebrows as she watched Baili Jia Jue walk in.

She did not realise how tempting she looked at this time, her eyebrows were beautiful, cheeks red, and apricot shaped eyes fluid.

Baili Jia Jue’s eyebrows raised up as he walked over to her slowly.

Helian Wei Wei put down the scroll in her hand and smiled: “How about I sleep on her and you sleep in the bed?”

Upon hearing that, Baili Jia Jue’s gaze chilled, she still wanted to keep her distance from him at this point in time?

Seems like she doesn’t realise what day it is today.

Oh, what a wilful little fox.

Baili Jia Jue curled his lips, and walked over with a smile on his face: “No need, I have two beds here.”

“Really?” Helian Wei Wei felt thirsty and took a sip of tea before she continued: “How come I didn’t notice it?”

“After we have drank the couples wine I will show you.” Baili Jia Jue was stood straight as his slender fingers untied his sleeves, what an outrageously elegant manoeuvre. A feeling of impulse came over Helian Wei Wei wanting to be held in his arms!

She shook her head and poured another cup of tea for herself.

Baili Jia Jue was by her side, his eyebrows raised: “Are you very thirsty?”

“A little.” Helian Wei Wei licked her thin lips. A strange feeling of numbness made her unable to hold up her hands, and she pulled open her skirt revealing her fair skin, her face flushed red.

Baili Jia Jue’s gaze deepened and he stopped moving, his eyes narrowed as he looked at her and smiled evilly: “You are..... Trying to seduce me?”

Helian Wei Wei was about to deny it when she felt the wooden chair shake. Baili Jia Jue was already sat next to her, looking down at her, a faint radiance in his dark eyes: “Well?” action

He smelt of alcohol and it infiltrated into her breath with his cold breath. His usual clear voice sounded a bit hoarse. Helian Wei Wei guessed that he was drunk.

This posture was too embarrassing. Every cell in her body seemed to feel the breath of his body and shrank slightly...

Helian Wei Wei could not stand the sight of this and turned her head slightly.

He reached out suddenly and gathered her hair that was spread out on the silk pillow, the scent of incense and alcohol landed on Helian Wei Wei’s face.

The indescribable heat became more and more powerful, but Helian Wei Wei’s mind was still clear and she was afraid that His Highness would misunderstand her current behaviour. It was unfavourable for cooperation of their relationship in the future. Her lips curled and she smiled: ” I am just a little hot. Can your Highness ask the servants to come in and bring me a basin of cold water to wash my face?”

“Haven’t you already washed your hair? The cold water is in the bath chamber.” It was clear from the way Baili Jia Jue spoke he was not giving in.

Helian Wei Wei was not in a hurry and picked up the scroll. As she read she took a few sips of cold tea, as if to say he could go and do anything he wanted to.

Baili Jia Jue looked at her deeply, he was not in a habit of doing things before he cleaned himself. He reached out and loosed the last button of his outer shirt and threw his clothes aside carelessly before he walked into the bath chamber. His slender legs were behind the screen, he seemed to be taking his time.

Without his breath on her, Helian Wei Wei felt less thirsty and was able to relax a little. The feeling that came over her earlier made her feel very uneasy.

She felt like she was in a desert about to die from thirst. When the Third Prince appeared at that moment, she felt like throwing herself into his arms to quench her thirst!

Fortunately, this feeling was not always present, otherwise Helian Wei Wei was in trouble. However, her arms and legs still felt weak.

She took another sip of her tea and suddenly remembered that she would be able to see what the Third Prince looked like after he removed his mask.

The Third Prince had said before that unless the person belonged to him, whoever removed his mask would have only two options, one is death and the other is to enter the palace to be a slave.

Since they have now married, the Third Prince should be unscrupulous to her. Moreover, he can’t possibly wear his silver mask to sleep. For someone who was picky about cleanliness, he would not allow that to happen.

It was just like her, who had to wash off the black stuff from her face every night before going to bed so that she can sleep peacefully. Otherwise it would be bad for her skin.

As she thought about these things, she had started to feel better. Helian Wei Wei tried to stand up with a shawl over her.

“Where are you going?” The low-pitched voice rang out from behind her. Helian Wei Wei turned around and saw that the freshly washed Baili Jia Jue had come out. He held a white porcelain wine jug in his hand, and adorned his red robe as he walked out unhurriedly, his body tall and slim.
