Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
The Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs asked questions endlessly until he had listened to w.a.n.g Ling’s entire narration. Then, he took a long time to ponder about it.
After a while, he asked the private advisor beside him with a serious expression, “Say, what would happen if I recruit the Third Princess Consort to help solve our ministry’s case?”
“His Highness would murder you, my Lord. Then, he will proceed to have your family arrested.” His mentor answered stoically, “You’re welcome to try it if you have a death wish.”
The Secretary of State for the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs was speechless in response and did not pursue the matter further. However, he still wanted to tell the process of the princess solving this case in the Golden Palace. His intuition told him that her investigation methods would very likely influence future students.
Thus, the next morning, almost everyone in the entire War Dragon Empire knew about the incident in the alley.
Within just a day, she managed to solve the missing person case that was unresolved for two weeks, without using any connections. People were greatly in awe of her sophisticated mind.
Some scholars even recorded the process of Helian Wei Wei’s investigation process into specialized books for other students to peruse seriously.
Due to this incident, the ministers who had neglected Helian Wei Wei in the past completely changed their opinions on her.
“No wonder the Retired Emperor agreed to the marriage between the Third Prince and Helian Wei Wei, she’s so impressive!”
“I remembered this brat when she was younger, she was overly submissive. However, look at her now, you really can’t judge someone by their appearance.”
“Indeed!”
Whether it was inside or outside of the palace, everyone was proud to have a princess like her.
Meanwhile, the patriarchs from the other families thought differently.
Initially, they were in no hurry.
After all, without even needing to raise their concerns, external and internal factors would always affect things to be in their favor.
After the Emperor had pa.s.sed away, the Third Prince inherited the throne. However, he only married Helian Wei Wei and no one else.
They had constantly been by the Retired Emperor’s side and had helped him so much.
The Third Prince partly owed his achievements to their continuous support.
From their perspectives, the Retired Emperor could not simply discard them after using them like that.
However, the Elder Compound was no more and the royal family held full authority now.
They needed to fight for their families’ futures now. Otherwise, when the Third Prince was enthroned, the Helian clan would become the most powerful family and receive all its benefits.
Their daughters were born from honorable backgrounds too. Helian Wei Wei may be unique, but their daughters were quite decent as well!
Why should Helian Wei Wei be the only one that gets to enjoy the luxuries of such an enormous harem?
Since the Third Prince would not listen to them, they would wait for the Retired Emperor to return.
They had been married for so long, but Helian Wei Wei was still not pregnant yet. The Retired Emperor would surely panic at this news.
Even if the Retired Emperor was not anxious, the Third Prince would need to produce an heir when he inherited the throne. Otherwise, he would have to marry a concubine. This was the tradition inherited from the ancestors and cannot be changed.
At night, in the palace’s internal compound in Jiuchong Hall…
Helian Wei Wei feasted on her third meal that night. It comprised of spicy duck wings, chilled lotus root, as well as sweet and sour ribs. All of them were served in big bowls and placed on the wooden table.
Little Seven gnawed on one of the duck wings as he kneeled beside her. Sometimes, he would tease the Alsatian for fun. Then, an evil idea popped into his mind when he saw the dog’s large head. Thus, he asked, “Third Aunt, can I eat it?”
