The Anarchic Consort (Book 1)

276-280

"Oh well, do you eat shrimps?" Helian Wei Wei wisely changed the topic of their conversation.

Baili Jia Jue nodded nonchalantly as he could not care less about what he ate.

Helian Wei Wei's mouth gave a slight twitch, "What about eggplants?"

Baili Jia Jue was slightly stunned for a second. Although his face was emotionless, he furrowed his dark brows a little. He seemed to be enduring a slight discomfort before nodding his head.

Helian Wei Wei finally knew how to differentiate the food that he would or would not eat. Frowning meant that he disliked the food.

Helian Wei Wei's lips curved into a smile and continued cooking the mutton. The aroma of the meat spread through the atmosphere, making her starve badly.

The rack of lamb was hung in the courtyard. There was a big bowl of spicy shrimps on the wooden table, the red chilis and green side dish complemented well, whetting one's appetite.

Eunuch Sun had never seen such a dish, thus, he could not help himself from catching a few glimpses out of curiosity.

Helian Wei Wei used a pair of bamboo chopsticks to fill a big bowl of the dish. She did not request him to sit with them because she reckoned that Eunuch Sun would feel awkward about it.

Eunuch Sun smartly split the dish in half and gave it to the other attendants. He told them that it was a reward from Helian Wei Wei in order to remind them about the kindness of the Princess Consort.

Helian Wei Wei smiled and ordered them to retreat for their dinner. His Highness had already started peeling shrimps when she returned.

Judging from his temper, she thought he would never touch the shrimp himself. Eating shrimp was quite a big challenge for a mysophobe. She was thinking to peel the shrimps for him, after all, it was a unique skill for a bossy president to take care of the other person.

But now... it seemed like he did not need her help at all.

Why is the Third Prince so difficult to deal with?

Helian Wei Wei was a little disconsolate.

His movements were slow, but he could completely peel off the shrimp shell in the blink of an eye. The tail was still attached to the peeled shrimp, looking delicate. The way he held the shrimp with his fair-skinned hand portrayed a sense of art.

Unlike Helian Wei Wei, although she could usually get things done fast, she would not peel the shrimp unless she had no other choice. She would straight away remove the head and stuff it in her mouth.

The man frowned, mostly because he could not stand the way she ate. Thus, he left the peeled shrimp on her plate and then continued to peel another shrimp.

Helian Wei Wei squinted her eyes, smiled and thanked him. After she finished eating more than 10 shrimps, she noticed that there were six or seven peeled shrimps placed aesthetically on the plate in front of His Highness.

Right at that moment, he cleaned his slender hands and picked up the shrimp using the bamboo chopsticks. Then, he put them into his mouth one by one.

He was so elegant. Helian Wei Wei held on Eunuch Sun's arm and asked in a low tone, "What kind of habit is that?"

"Hmm?" Eunuch Sun looked at his master and chuckled like a Maitreya. "Oh, this is His Highness' habit. He is fond of aesthetic things, thus he will garnish his food before eating."

Helian Wei Wei was speechless.

No wonder he would buy such a weird bed.

His Highness does have many unknown peculiarities.
