His Highness Appears

However, to her surprise, Helian Weiwei sat there nonchalantly, one hand propped up, while blue clothes and white shirts were scattered on the ground, making him incredibly handsome and beautiful.

She didn't take her seriously at all!

This immediate change in Helian Weiwei's behavior caused Helian Jiao'er's expression to shift instantly. In the past, this mean woman would have been impatient, ensuring everyone knew her good character.

But now, she completely disregarded them!

Helian Jiao'er clenched her teeth tightly. Could it be that when he pushed her into the water tank that day, he injured her brain, causing her to forget even the most basic reactions?

A mean woman like her would undoubtedly go crazy upon hearing that "the son of the world" didn't want her.

Why is it so quiet today!

Murong Changfeng sat at the other end of the long table. Upon noticing the commotion, he didn't easily want to witness Helian Weiwei's reaction. However, when his gaze fell upon Helian Weiwei's face, his heart unexpectedly twitched. She was displaying an expression...

Like a seductive cat, simultaneously cold and enticing. Her slightly narrowed eyes, accompanied by a smile, seemed to glitter in the candlelight, tempting men to rush over and kiss her.

She was no longer the annoying clingy girl she used to be, revealing an elusive charm.

In the past few days, he hadn't seen her much, and he rarely thought about her. And even when he did, he didn't linger on the thoughts.

He briefly considered meeting her, but it was merely because she was noisy, persistent, and clingy, shamelessly obsessed with him...

He was the son of Princess Murong. How could he marry an orphaned girl who had lost her power and status?

Numerous influential ministers existed in the dynasty, yet she remained fixated on him.

She was undoubtedly the only blemish on his reputation.

No matter how he contemplated it, he couldn't accept it.

That's why he made that decision.

However, she didn't expect that with just a piece of paper, she would cast aside all her previous actions, even speaking and behaving differently from before.

Now, she made him feel unfamiliar, and this unfamiliarity overwhelmed him.

Fang Tingting naturally noticed Murong Shaofeng's gaze. She clenched the cloth in her hand, her heart filled with jealousy.

Usually, the most disgusting thing to the Young Master was that idiotic flower girl.

How could he look at her like that today, as if he was about to develop feelings for her...

She was clearly ugly and of lowly status!

If it weren't for the centuries-old history of the Helian family, how could such a lowly woman catch the attention of the son of the world!

"Sisters, let's stop talking. Some people might get upset and run crying to the Supreme Master to complain." Fang Tingting said this to remind Murong Shaofeng of the kind of woman Helian Weiwei was.

As expected, Murong Changfeng furrowed his brows, and a contemptuous expression appeared on his noble face.

Helian Mei spoke up confidently, "If she wants to complain, let her. Who's afraid that she won't succeed? There is always justice in this world."

"Third sister," Helian Jiao'er tugged at Helian Mei's sleeves again. Her eyes were filled with moisture, and her long eyelashes drooped, creating a kind and moving appearance. However, deep down, she harbored blossoming resentment.

Fang Tingting chuckled, "Jiao'er, don't let these annoying flies bother you. The Third Prince will arrive soon. You're the only one who has had contact with him in the palace. Let's wait for your good news."

"Sister Fang!" Helian Jiao'er shyly stomped her foot. When she turned around, she looked at Helian Weiwei with evident pride.

Helian Weiwei didn't even acknowledge her. She continued to lazily yawn, having long known that even though this was a selection of a concubine, everyone had already determined the outcome. Baili Jia Jue would undoubtedly choose Helian Jiao'er. Hence, this banquet was merely a formality.

As the elders had calculated, a man born into the royal family valued worldly matters the most.

Helian Jiao'er possessed talent and beauty, and the power behind her couldn't be ignored. From this perspective, the Third Prince was bound to choose such a woman.

Even if it wasn't the case, Helian Weiwei wasn't particularly interested in being selected as a concubine. She was merely going through the motions today. It was none of her concern. As long as she appeared at the banquet like this, it would be considered a proper tribute to her homeland.

Glancing at the time, all the important guests had taken their seats, and the exquisitely arranged pastries emitted steam.

Yet, the legendary concubine, the Third Prince, was still absent.

Truly living up to the saying that the rich and handsome always have big egos.

As she pondered this, a loud voice from outside announced, "The Third Highness has arrived!" The entire courtyard immediately fell silent, and all eyes turned toward the entrance. Helian Weiwei slowly turned her head back.

When the tall and distinguished figure appeared at the door, a faint moonlight cast a glow on his silvered side profile, making him look as if he belonged to ancient times—elegant, cold, and aloof.

He wore a black coat over a purple riding suit, his trousers tucked into black combat boots. The valuable robe he wore was adorned with a silver cloud dragon totem, exquisitely crafted. His long, curly hair cascaded like ink, devoid of any hint of femininity, making him appear even more nonchalant than usual.

Both men and women were left dumbfounded.

However, their admiring gazes didn't elicit any response.

He didn't even change his expression, as if he hadn't heard any sounds. In his ancient, ink-like eyes, there was an indescribable allure, emitting a faint sense of restraint.

It seemed as if he would forever remain unapproachable, forever carefree and distant.

Of all the attendees, Helian Jiao'er was the most captivated by his presence. She curtsied gracefully like a lady, and her embroidered white sunflower gown swayed gently, accentuating her beautiful eyes, which seemed as if they could drip with water. "Your Highness," Helian Jiao'er said.

Helian Weiwei knew that Helian Jiao'er did this solely to demonstrate that she had a different "relationship" with the Third Prince compared to the other women. It was nothing more than a way to let everyone know what kind of "special connection" they had before.

Jing Wu Hopeless let out a hearty laugh and treated Bailijia with great respect. "Your Highness, please take a seat."

Baili Jia Jue remained silent. The eyes beneath his silver mask seemed to be searching for something, and when they landed in the corner, a hint of playfulness flashed across his gaze.

Sun Gonggong had been observing his master's reactions closely. He feared that this hopeless fellow would say something nonsensical, leading His Highness to completely shun him.

Thus, this dinner made him more nervous than anyone else. A thin layer of sweat had formed on his forehead, and as he witnessed his master's lips curve into what seemed like a smile, he could hardly bear it. He wanted to kneel down right away!

What was happening here?

The smile his master had just displayed sent shivers down his spine!
