  It was just that Helian Wei Wei really did not see anything, because there was nothing written on it.

  When Helian Wei Wei was still young back then in Buddhism, she had heard from Sakyamuni Buddha before that there was a book of records in the world called "Tian Ji".

  This "Tian Ji" looked like a volume of green bamboo from the outside, but in fact, those who had it could learn the direction of the Gods and Buddhas from the content.

  Helian Wei Wei would not be able to see it, so she had to find the one with the surname Pei.

  However, as the King of Hell's son had said, no one within the Six Paths would be able to find him unless he appeared voluntarily.

  The King of Hell's son saw that she was really anxious so he comforted her with a pacifier in his mouth, "Although I don't know why you are so upset, what Bodhi did should be able to help you in changing your destiny."

  Helian Wei Wei understood what King of Hell's son said, but during the last scene in Buddhism, she actually saw the death of the Phoenix from the burning Light of Buddha...

  Chapter 871 - Learning To Take Care Of The Babies

  Helian Wei Wei wanted to stop thinking about it.

  However, those were not something that she could simply unsee.

  This was the only thing that he should not find out.

  Helian Wei Wei went to the Hidden Spirit Temple. This was the first time she went out alone after the world was peaceful once again.

  She acted like she was going to pray for blessings, but in fact, she was using this opportunity to find a man with the surname Pei.

  However, as the King of Hell's son had said, no one would be able to find this man unless he was willing to appear.

  When the master saw that she was rather down compared to her previous visits, he stared at her and stopped the wooden fish in his hand, "Girl, are you hiding something from His Highness?"

  "Only one thing." Since she was already at this stage, measures must be taken. In fact, even Helian Wei Wei did not know if the so-called measures would be useful, but she had to let someone know, "I might not be able to escape from my tribulation, and if it is true, I hope that master could inform him for me. Even if I left, our children will be here to accompany him."

  When the master heard Helian Wei Wei's words, the wooden fish in his hand fell to the ground.

  That was when Helian Wei Wei's belly was already showing. In fact, even her actions looked clumsy.

  Yet she came, one step after another. She looked at the master, "He really does like killing people, but he's just spoiled. I don't want him to be lonely or to be judged as a tyrant by future generations. I hope that master, you could find a way to make him feel better after I leave."

  Looking at Helian Wei Wei's face, the master shook his head and sighed, "Girl, you still don't understand. He cares only about you in the world, no one else except you could calm him down."

  She c.a.r.e.s.sed her belly, with her eyes red but her back straight.

  "Return to the palace." These were the last words that Helian Wei Wei said at the Hidden Spirit Temple.

  The aura of an Empress was growing on her, but Baili Jia Jue never intended to ascend the throne.

  No matter how the Retired Emperor challenged him, he was still sitting there indifferently. Until the Retired Emperor had gone thirsty of advising him, he slowly raised his head and glanced outside the window, "She should be coming back soon." After saying so, he stood and was about to leave.

  Looking at his grandson who gave him headaches, the Retired Emperor was furious that the intelligence and steadiness in his usual self suddenly disappeared, "I've said for so long! Are you not listening to me at all?! Huh!"

  "Isn't it just the issue of inheritance? When the two kids come out of Wei Wei's belly, you could choose either one to be the Emperor." Obviously, Baili Jia Jue was superficially elegant without long-term patience to everyone except Helian Wei Wei.

  Eunuch Sun who was trying to calm the Retired Emperor was stunned, "Your Highness, did you say two babies? The princess consort is pregnant with twins?"

  Suddenly, the Retired Emperor was not mad anymore. With a smile on his face, he said, "Twins? Hahahaha, this girl Wei Wei is indeed capable! Compared to such a cold brat like you, Wei Wei is so much stronger!"

  Baili Jia Jue did not refute as his wife was certainly the best.

  "But I made only a pair of tiger-head shoes in the palace, and those baby clothes too." Eunuch Sun was originally someone who worried a lot. When he heard that one Little Highness had become two, he immediately panicked. He could not care less whether the Retired Emperor was going to hit His Highness with a teacup and immediately went outside to give orders, "You, and you, all of you go to Master Liang to ask for one more pair of tiger-head shoes. Oh, no. Your Highness, is the other baby a Little Prince or a Little Princess? If she is a princess, then phoenix-head shoes are needed and the baby clothes should be more girly."

  The Retired Emperor was also concerned about this. Compared to those troublesome brats, baby girls would be more intimate. If he were to have a great-granddaughter, his life would be perfect already.

  When the Retired Emperor thought of this, he was so pleased. He said, "Since they are twins, then the other one should be a little girl, right?"

  "I don't know." Baili Jia Jue replied simply.

  That indifferent look had triggered the anger of the Retired Emperor once again, "You brat! Can't you be more like a father? The child will be born soon, but you know nothing!"

  Baili Jia Jue let the one behind him jump around angrily while he yawned lazily.

  The Retired Emperor felt the urge to throw teacups again when he saw his attitude!

  Right at that moment, someone who was so witless approached the Retired Emperor, "Imperial Grandfather, there are no more goldfish in the pond already. Ask Eunuch Sun to fill it up when you're free. Otherwise, I don't have food to eat anymore."

  As the little man requested oppressively, he had a serious expression on his face.

  The Retired Emperor took a deep breath, "Those are scorpionfish which I've gotten from the sanctuary, you greedy boy!!!!!"

  The entire palace was resounded with the Retired Emperor's roars.

  Helian Wei Wei laughed softly and walked toward Baili Jia Jue, "You've angered the Imperial Grandfather again?"

  "Not me, it's Little Seven." His Highness said this calmly and indifferently, despite the stare from Eunuch Sun at his side.

  Helian Wei Wei understood him too well. The smile on her mouth was even broader now.

  Baili Jia Jue pulled her into his arms directly, his voice was very low, "Are you a fool? You can't even walk comfortably yet you insist on going to the Hidden Spirit Temple. What's more, you even forbade me from following."

  "I went there to return my wish. It would seem less sincere if you tagged along." Helian Wei Wei said ambiguously while taking his hand over and put it on her belly, "You haven't said hello to the babies today."

  Baili Jia Jue sneered, "I greet them in my heart every day."

  "This sentence doesn't sound good." The bigger fetus had just woken up and heard the words of Baili Jia Jue.

  The smaller fetus was also fully developed already. It opened its eyes and looked at the other fetus, "Brother, we will be going out soon."

  The bigger fetus agreed coolly, "Recently I could barely feel the external environment or go hunting. Based on the situation, we should be able to leave here soon. By then, I'll take you everywhere I go. You haven't gotten the chance to see this palace yet, it's very beautiful."

  "Okay, I'll be able to see how my brother looks like then." The smaller fetus had a softer voice, but with the same d.e.s.i.r.e...

  In the palace, Helian Wei Wei was staring at the smiling man beside her. She could not help but turned around to kiss his face and said calmly, "You have to learn to take care of the babies so that you won't be clumsy later if I wasn't in the palace."

  Chapter 872 - In Love

  "Not in the
palace? Where are you going?" Baili Jia Jue's voice was very cold.

  Helian Wei Wei paused for a moment and smiled naturally, "I can't bring the babies along to activities like training a soldier or praying, right?"

  Only then that Baili Jia Jue's gaze regained its warmth. He tilted her head to his side and laid a kiss on her black hair, with a peculiar gentleness between his brows he said, "There are so many people in the palace. They'll take care of these two little brats."

  "I don't want the babysitter to look after them. I want to bring them up by myself," Helian Wei Wei continued with a chuckle, her hand then clenched to his hand.

  There was always nothing Baili Jia Jue could do against her, so of course he would agree to everything she said.

  So, both of them sat on the bed and began reading about the rules of parenting.

  His Highness sneered while reading, "Kids are indeed troublesome creatures."

  "Didn't you grow up from a kid?" Helian Wei Wei listened amusingly, "They're too little. So they need a.d.u.l.ts to look after them."

  Baili Jia Jue followed her hand and set his eyes on her belly that was as round as a ball now, "Believe me, these two brats of ours can still live well without any parenting."

  Helian Wei Wei was assured of this too. There were probably no other babies who were so domineering as hers in the whole world. They had yet to be born, but they had almost finished eating the dead souls within hundreds of miles around them.

  Last time, as she saw several ghosts floating back and forth outside the palace, she was still wondering why these dead souls would dare to wander around here.

  Then, according to His Highness, those were all caught by their babies to play with.

  Treating ghosts as toys, uh… Helian Wei Wei had always felt that her babies had been guided wrongly without her realizing it.

  However, Helian Wei Wei was glad that Baili Jia Jue's attitude toward the babies was changing eventually from day to day.

  Maybe even he himself did not realize that his expression while rubbing her stomach to promote digestion was getting more and more gentle.

  Of course, he was still very impatient, as if he was born to be the rival of the babies. Every time her stomach moved, he would sneer at the side.

  Nevertheless, Helian Wei Wei felt that this was good.

  This unique way of father-child communication was really good.

  The palace was as lively as ever, except that the smart Baili Jia Jue was playing with a teacup in his hand with a cold gaze, "Where else did the Lady go today besides the Hidden Spirit Temple?"

  According to the laws, mercenaries of the hidden army should only listen to the orders of their master.

  But this man was so good that he could not hide anything from him.

  "Not talking, huh?" Baili Jia Jue chuckled and paced toward the mercenary, "I've once said that the hidden army can only be here with my permission. If my mood somehow turns bad, do you think you can still wander around the palace like this?"

  Of course the mercenary knew the capability of this man. He thought about it and said, "Your Highness, the Lady has indeed been in the Hidden Spirit Temple today, but the Lady was also looking for a person earlier. We have sent someone to search for him but he was nowhere to be found. So she has withdrawn the order."

  "Who is this person?" Baili Jia Jue twirled the black jade ring on his finger.

  The mercenary could clearly feel the chill emanating from him, "The hidden army is unsure of the details as well. The Lady mentioned only that his surname was Pei, without stating his age and appearance, nor did she say why she was searching for him."

  "Pei?" Baili Jia Jue stopped his finger and refrained from asking further. With his eyes as deep as the night outside the house, "She is about to wake up, do not tell her that we had this talk."

  The mercenary looked down and obeyed, "Yes."

  Baili Jia Jue retracted his gaze and put on his black cloak before he went back to his royal chamber.

  The person on his bed was still sleeping. With her waist-length black hair laid on the soft quilt, she certainly looked lovely when she was asleep.

  Helian Wei Wei could probably sense Baili Jia Jue's scent so she moved. She was not fully awake yet, with her eyes still closed and a sleepy tone in her voice, "Where have you been? Meeting with the ministers?"

  "Nothing, just some trifles." Baili Jia Jue immediately reached out and hugged her, with his palm softly patting her back, "Be good, go back to sleep."

  His voice was very deep and because he had been coaxing her to sleep like that for some time, he was actually experienced in this already.

  A while later, Helian Wei Wei really fell asleep.

  Helian Wei Wei, what on earth are you hiding from me?

  The next day, the weather had turned warm again.

  As the winter passed, there were signs of life everywhere.

  The two sat together in the South Chancery.

  His Highness seemed to be in a good mood and wanted to teach her calligraphy.

  However, Helian Wei Wei was really not a person of self-cultivation. Back then when she was the Phoenix, she had no interest in scriptures. She felt torturing indeed for her to stay in the study room for two hours straight now.

  Nonetheless, Baili Jia Jue was not really into teaching her to write either. He just wanted her to stay in his arms with the excuse of calligraphy practice.

  So basically Helian Wei Wei would ask for a treat after finishing with a word.

  Baili Jia Jue pampered her anyway. He even refused to let her use the chopsticks, only wanting her to sit there and write while he was in charge of feeding.

  This had indeed envied those around them.

  The palace maids and eunuchs had never seen any couple like Baili Jia Jue and Helian Wei Wei in the palace before.

  At first, they all thought that Helian Wei Wei would be difficult to get along with.

  After all, the princess consort was too famous.

  Plus, her way of killing was really comparable to the Third Prince.

  However, after knowing her, they found that it was indeed a great blessing to have her as a master in the palace.

  The style of the princess consort being in power had never changed. She would not blend in with the servants.

  But she would never make things hard for them, and sometimes she was a little foolish.

  That was right, a little foolish.

  The minister was smart too. He went to the princess consort directly, instead of His Highness.

  The princess consort looked at him then, smiled and said only one sentence.

  She said, "Lord Li, don't you know that I, Helian Wei Wei, am taking full responsibility on Baili Jia Jue?"

  As women, the palace maids really thought that the princess consort was very handsome at that moment. It was something that came from deep inside her bones...

  Chapter 873 - The Baby Was Born

  Most people could not utter words such as 'I'll be taking full responsibility' like the princess consort.

  However, the princess consort was extremely confident in doing so.

  Outside the South Chancery, the palace people watched the two sitting together. One hugged another from behind with brushes in their hands, their side faces looked particularly appealing in the sunlight.

  Helian Wei Wei could not sit still anymore and lazily propped her chin in her left palm while writing very carelessly.

  Baili Jia Jue knocked her head with his finger as he said, "Your handwriting is like a dog sprawling on its stomach. How on earth do you read the Buddhist scriptures in the first place? Is this how Buddhists write?"

  "Have you seen me chanting before?" Helian Wei Wei hummed twice, "That was when I felt the sun was too dazzling for me to sleep, so I put a book over my face. I'm sure you haven't seen me when I was in Buddhism."

  Baili Jia Jue said nothing but smiled and pinched her claws again.

  In fact, it would be impossible for him to not witness it before.
<
br />   She was the only one who dared to behave as such in the whole of Buddhism. Each time he paid a visit, he would see her holding a scripture as a shield.

  She probably thought no one would have noticed her in that position.

  That being said, the proud Phoenix was but a little one who was fond of sleeping and lazy to socialize with others.

  Ever since then, he had been thinking that such a little one should not be left in Buddhism, instead, it should be kept in a place where he could watch her all the time.

  It would be perfect for him to feed her.

  In fact, it was exactly like how he thought.

  Baili Jia Jue began to laugh in a low voice.

  As Helian Wei Wei could not understand the reason behind his laughter, she frowned in bewilderment.

  Baili Jia Jue pulled her over to hug her again as he ordered, "Keep writing, haven't you been nagging about developing a good prenatal education? How can my children write as ugly as you in the future?"

  "Hey, prenatal education is prenatal education, you don't have to make a personal attack on me all the time," Helian Wei Wei spoke out in amus.e.m.e.nt.

  Baili Jia Jue gently curled his thin lips, saying, "I am using a typical example to educate them so that they will remember how ugly your handwriting is. Hopefully, this will set as a reminder for them to work hard when they are born."

  Helian Wei Wei was rendered speechless.

  He was so reasonable that she could not refute.

  Helian Wei Wei knew that His Highness was teasing her for fun so she could not be bothered about it. She turned her head around, sat up straight and continued to write while directing Baili Jia Jue to feed her.

  Their days in the South Chancery had turned into a daily routine for them and Baili Jia Ju was still the usual him who loved to take control over things.

  If so, it would be easier during laboring.

  Time flew by quickly and it was already the month of March when all over the palace was beginning to feel like the season of spring.

  One day, Helian Wei Wei was sitting beside Baili Jia Jue studying her new martial arts. As she was thinking about how to combine gunpowder with cold weapons, her stomach felt a surge of pain.
