The Anarchic Consort (Book 1)

291-295

"Woman, why are you running so fast?" Yuan Ming stayed in the ancient book; he felt dizzy as he was jolted.

Upon hearing this, Helian Wei Wei stopped. "You're right, why am I running so fast? I am already late anyway."

"It's probably curfew time now," Yuan Ming said lazily, "Have you forgotten about the rules in your academy? Looks like this is really the power of love. It can even make you willingly climb over the wall in the middle of the night."

With a push of one arm, Helian Wei Wei handily leaped over the wall as she was about to answer Yuan Ming.

Just then, she heard a deep, pleasant-sounding yet gentle cough from her back, along with a light herbal scent wafted in the air.

Helian Wei Wei subconsciously turned around.

A student who was standing beside a man appeared like he had spotted a ghost, nearly shouting out loud for someone to come over.

However, the man elegantly interrupted the student's words, "Behave yourself, Little Wine."

"But, but she!" Little Wine had never seen a lady of good upbringing climbing over the wall in his life, even a female bandit would not be so brazen. Moreover, there was a curfew in White Academy. People who openly ignored the academy rules like her would definitely be expelled if they were caught!

Knowing that she had been caught red-handed, Helian Wei Wei chose not to hide anymore. She looked at the guy who was sitting under the silk flower tree, there were a tea set and a white jade black stone chess set near his arm. She said with a smile, "How elegant, Master Wushuang."

"Have a drink," Jing Wushuang was the kind of person whom people would find it hard to hate him, especially with that warm disposition. It was very easy for people to let their guard down in front of him.

Helian Wei Wei glanced at the light that dimmed down afar, she thought for a moment before saying, "No, it's the academy rule that boys and girls shall not get close to each other. I'll have that drink with Master Wushuang after we leave the Academy."

Little Wine looked at her, his mouth agape, and thought, you have already climbed over the wall, do you even care about the academy rules!

Jing Wushuang said with a faint smile on his face, "Alright then, I'll not have Lady Wei Wei around. See you in class tomorrow."

"Great." Helian Wei Wei's lips quirked into a smile, her beautiful silhouette walking through the academy.

Little Wine, the student who was standing beside Jing Wushuang pursed his lips and said, "Master, that woman is obviously lying to you. You have favored her by offering her tea, but she brushed you off with such an excuse."

"Do you know who is she, Little Wine?" Jing Wushuang put down the white piece in his hand.

Little Wine shook his head. "No."

"You don't usually come out from the residence, so naturally you won't know." Jing Wushuang countered it and conquered a black piece. "She is Helian Wei Wei, who has just married the Third Prince. You must remember to never offend this person."

Little Wine was not impressed at all. "Simply because she is the Third Princess Consort?"

"No." Jing Wushuang put down his last piece, reversing an unfavorable round. "It's because she's the person who beats me in martial arts."

Little Wine was shocked and forgot to reply. After a moment, he said, "But Master, you once said that you will marry the person who beats you in martial arts, now... this..."
