Apart from the face?
“Money!” The official had never seen his master being so reasonable, thus he was instantly elated. “Your Highness, look at my appearance. Why do you think there are still people throwing themselves at me?”
Baili Jia Jue swept his eyes over him faintly and said, “Is it not because they are blind?”
The official was speechless.
He was wrong!
Even though His Highness acted unusually, he still had his sharp tongue!
“It’s because of my ident.i.ty.” The officer was a little shy when he talked about this. “I am in charge of the national treasury, and somewhat I will have ample money in hand.”
Baili Jia Jue agreed with him in a low tone.
The official instantly regretted after he finished his sentence, thinking in his mind, oh my goodness!
How could he reveal all the ins and outs of the matter?
Could it be that this is a new method that His Highness is using to interrogate people?
The official was unsure about it and sneaked a peek at Baili Jia Jue.
Of course, Baili Jia Jue knew what he was thinking. He slowly turned the ring on his ring finger and sneered, “I have no intention to kill anyone today. But I may change my mind if you keep stalling.”
“Your… Your Highness, please don’t get angry! I will continue… continue!” The officer wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead and said, “Speaking about money, you have to know how to spend it too. If you’re simply giving money to them, they won’t necessarily like it as much. You have to give them part of the money and spend the other part of it. For instance, I will bring my newly-wedded concubine to Zui Xiang Restaurant at night, book a private room and order whatever food she wants. After that, we will take a walk to Bu Yun Villa. If she sees a new satin or hair accessories that she likes, buy it! In a nutsh.e.l.l, buy everything for her!”
Baili Jia Jue knocked on the ancient scroll book with his long and slender fingers, looking so superior. “That’s all?”
“Basically, that’s all…” Anyway, money is omnipotent if you spend it right!
Baili Jia Jue closed the ancient scroll book, looking abstinent with his eyebrows raised. “It’s easier than I thought.”
What’s easier? The official was confused. He had been listening for quite a while, yet he had no idea what his master was going to do.
Could it be that…
Suddenly, something came into his mind. The official took a glance at the slender fingers of his master and was enlightened in an instant.
Most probably His Highness asked all the questions for the sake of the princess consort!
He made a correct guess. Baili Jia Jue was really doing this to make Helian Wei Wei happy.
She must have been bored staying alone since she had been absent from the White Academy for so many days.
He had never forgotten how much she disliked being constrained.
In order to let her drop the idea of leaving the palace, he must solve the root cause of the problem.
Helian Wei Wei still had no idea of what was going on. She stretched out when she saw him walking in as usual. Then, she picked up a snack and straight away put it into his mouth. She curled her lips into a smile while holding the snack box. “New discovery, how is it?”
“Hmm, acceptable, it’s the mint flavor.” Baili Jia Jue drew her closer and put his arms around her, sitting naturally on the chaise longue and said, “We’re going out for dinner, go and change your clothes.”
Helian Wei Wei smiled and said, “Alright, man attire or woman attire?”
“Man attire.” From that day onward, he did not want her to show up on the street as she attracted too much attention from the others!
