He sprinkled seasoning on each of the ten fish, handed them to Qingchen and the others, and asked them to grill them.

Under everyone's curious gaze, Ling Yuan opened the stomachs of the remaining two chickens and two rabbits and laid them flat on the clean lotus leaves.

First, the washed and marinated snake was put into the chicken's stomach. The chicken's stomach was big enough to be bulged with the slaughtered snake.

Ling Yuan stuffed the prepared spices into the chicken's stomach, wrapped it with a clean lotus leaf, and set it aside.

She also stuffed the stomachs of the remaining chicken and two rabbits with some of the meat and seasonings she had bought earlier.

Following the same procedure, after wrapping the lotus leaves, start applying the prepared mud on it, layer by layer, until there are no gaps left. Then bury it in the pit that has been dug long ago, and cover it with the hot mud that has been burned long ago. Finally, the job is done.

"What are you doing?" Wei Jie looked at her who was sweating profusely and was about to get up and go to the river.

Ling Yuan wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled at the confused Qingchen and the other three, and the frowning Uncle Wei.

"I don't know if it will work, I just want to try it out. I'm afraid we won't be able to finish it. The weather is getting warmer, and if the food is left out for too long, it will affect the taste. So putting it in like this will preserve it for a little longer."

It was pitch black all around. Ling Yuan held up a torch and planned to go to the river to wash herself, but unexpectedly Wei Jie followed her.

"What are you doing?" Ling Yuan glanced at him sideways.

Wei Jie took the torch from her hand and walked forward.

Ling Yuan was stunned. Was he going to go with her?

My heart suddenly felt warm. I didn't expect that this man who looked unreliable and cold had such a warm side.

In the darkness, he held the torch high, and the light around him became much brighter. Ling Yuan followed his tall and straight figure closely.

He stretched out his hands covered in mud and walked carefully, but unfortunately the grove was overgrown with weeds and he tripped accidentally.

He was right in front of her, so she thought, he could at least give her a hand.

Unexpectedly, when the man heard the noise, he quickly took two steps and avoided her. Poor fat girl, not only was she tripped, but her mouth was also full of mud and grass.

"Are you okay?"

When his voice sounded from above her head, Ling Yuan opened her eyes, which were left with only the whites in the darkness, and waved her hands covered in mud angrily.

"Nonsense, why don't you try falling down? Why don't you help me up?"

Wei Jie, however, snorted without mercy: "Climb up on your own!"

Your hands are covered in mud, and you still want him to help you?

"Damn it, why did you come here if you're not going to help me? I thought you were being kind, but I don't think you have any good intentions at all. Tell me, did you pull this grass here on purpose to trip me?"

Wei Jie: ...

This woman is really stupid when she shows off her temper. Does she think his kindness is being taken for granted?

Having said that, he stuck the torch into the ground, glanced at her indifferently, and was about to leave.

Ling Yuan saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly tried to pull his pants, but he dodged her alertly, "Wash yourself clean before you touch me!"

"Hey, why are you so ungraceful and just leave like that? It's so dark, hey, don't leave!"

Unfortunately, that person was like the weather in March, changing at any time. Ling Yuan was so angry that she grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it in the direction he was leaving.

Thinking carefully about what he just said, Ling Yuan's face suddenly turned red, "Bah, who wants to touch you, old peacock spreads its tail, you are so self-indulgent!"

After dragging his fat body and struggling to get up, Ling Yuan looked pitiful and held a torch in his hand as he went to the river to clean himself up.

When she came back, she didn't see Wei Jie, and she didn't know where he went. Qingchen even asked her where Wei Jie was, which made her roll her eyes impatiently.

"How should I know?" The tone was quite bad, causing the other four people to look at each other in confusion. Is this... the rhythm of a quarrel?

"It's obviously grilled fish, why does Madam's grilled fish smell so good?" Qingxuan saw that something was wrong and quickly changed the subject.

As soon as Qingchen and the others smelled the aroma of the food, they couldn't help but wonder what kind of spices she had put on it. Why did it smell so strong?

In fact, fish itself has very little fat, but when they are grilled, the fish oil drops down, making the flames higher.

Strange, could it be a different species of fish?

Ling Yuan drank some cold stream water and felt her mind was much clearer. She felt more and more that she had the temper of a child. Her anger would come up and go down as she pleased. No, her cultivation was still not good enough and she had to endure it!

"That's because I put enough spices in, and the types are complete. The grilled fish you usually eat probably has very little salt, right? How can it be compared with the one grilled with these carefully selected seasonings?"

Several people couldn't help but think that she had indeed sprinkled several kinds of spices on it just now, and immediately took her seasoning bag to take a look, but after looking at it for a long time, they couldn't figure out what it was, and instead sneezed several times: "What are these?"

Ling Yuan: "Some are medicinal herbs, and some are just ordinary seasonings. I asked someone to grind them into powder for me. You don't pay attention to these things on a daily basis, and you can't remember the names even if I tell you. If you like them, I will prepare some for you later."

As for her name, she would not tell anyone casually. It was her secret weapon, exclusive to her.

Suddenly she felt a burning gaze staring at her. Ling Yuan looked up and found that Wei Jie had come back without her knowing. He was standing behind her, looking at her with his eyes lowered.

Ling Yuan originally wanted to say something to irritate him, but since there were four other light bulbs on the scene, she had to consider their faces and not let them laugh at her for no reason.

I looked at him in confusion, looked myself up and down, and touched my face, "Is there something on my face?" Why do you look at me like this?

"Even if there's something on your face, you can't see it, right?"

Although Wei Jie's cold words did not contain any mockery or contempt, they made several people who were drinking water around him spit out tears.

Oh my God, aren’t their prince’s words too... hurtful?

Everyone subconsciously looked at Ling Yuan. Oh no, their little princess must be very sad, right?

Unfortunately, they all underestimated how thick-skinned someone was. After listening to Wei Jie's words, they touched their faces as if nothing had happened and nodded in agreement.

"That's true. With such a dark sky and such dark skin, it's strange that you can see it."

No one else heard anything, but Wei Jie saw her shrug in self-mockery.

I thought to myself, this girl is amazing! How come her ability to withstand attacks has improved so much in just a short while?

However, he did not notice the annoyance that flashed across Ling Yuan's eyes when she lowered her eyes, and her clenched fists became even tighter.

Hey little brat, I'll let you show off for a while!

Just wait and see how I’m going to deal with you.

Qingchen, who was closest to her, looked at this and that, and while admiring Ling Yuan's strong mentality, he also saw some clues from it.

Oh my God, could it be that their seventh brother is jealous?

The little princess provided them with seasoning packets but did not give any to her own seventh brother. Was her seventh brother jealous?

But that's not right. Even if they went out ten times, eight of those times they were with Seventh Brother. Giving it to them, isn't that the same as giving it to him?

Could it be that their seventh brother doesn’t even care about these things?

The fact is, Qingchen really thought too much. Not to mention that this pair of bickering lovers had just had a fight, her carefree and unfeeling personality made her jealous for no reason and she didn't even know where to start.

The reason why Wei Jie stared at her like this was that he wanted to see where this girl's bottom line was.

It's just a pity that he was disappointed. He thought that he would make a fuss after returning, but he didn't expect that this girl actually endured it all.

The reason why he was staring at her like this was because he suddenly remembered that the fat girl who appeared next to Ling Yun in the Four Nations Festival was undoubtedly Ling Yuan.

So that means, the unlucky child who was kicked off the roof by him and was hunted by the Mingxin Sect for a whole month was this girl?

In order to verify his guess, Wei Jie suddenly called out: "Yuanyuan?"

"Ah?" Poor Ling Yuan raised her head without even thinking. When she found out that the person calling her was Wei Jie, she was completely stunned.

Oh my god, what is this? Isn't the change of mind too fast?

Why are you calling her by her nickname for no reason?

What did Mr. Wei remember?

"Yuanyuan? Are you Yuanyuan?"

Ling Yuan's eyes twitched, and she quickly revealed a puzzled expression: "Yuanyuan? What Yuanyuan? Who is the prince calling?"

A hint of darkness flashed across Wei Jie's eyes, but he said with certainty: "You are Yuanyuan, the maidservant of the eldest lady of Lingjiazhuang who shined at the Four Kingdoms Gala. Lingyuan, Liyuan, Yuanyuan, haha, your identities are really dazzling!"

He had such suspicion at that time, but Lingyun and the others fooled him with a fake one. Now think about it, a little maid, even if she had the courage of heaven, could not go against Li Wensheng.

Only Ling Yuan, a girl who holds a certain status in Lingjiazhuang, dares to do this.

Even if they offended Li Wensheng, they could not lose the reputation of their Lingjiazhuang.

Ling Yuan pursed her lips and her eyes focused: "It's incomprehensible. I don't know what the prince is talking about."

"Are you sure?"

Thinking of his kick, Ling Yuan gritted her teeth in anger: "I am very sure. If you have nothing to do, please move aside. We still have fish to eat!"

I don't have time to talk to you about this.

Wei Jie curled the corners of his lips, raised the corner of his robe, and sat next to Ling Yuan, causing her to look back frequently.

"What? Is there something growing on my face this time?"

Ling Yuan's eyes rolled around, and suddenly a fox-like cunning look flashed in them. Under the faint moonlight, her black eyeballs actually emitted a crystal clear luster.

Wei Jie saw it clearly, but he didn't point it out. He wanted to see what this little fat boy wanted to do.

As expected, Ling Yuan half-knelt up and whispered to Wei Jie: "Shh, don't move, don't move, there is really something on your face!"

With a "pa" sound, Wei Jie was suddenly slapped on the smooth forehead by her. Because of the force, he soon felt a red and hot sensation.

Someone's phoenix eyes suddenly became deep and unfathomable, and he looked at Ling Yuan with a cold and frightening look: "What is that?"

Under his sharp gaze, Ling Yuan shuddered, and her heart was suddenly pulled up. But when she thought of his ruthless kick, it seemed that she was still in pain. She immediately stretched her neck and said, "Oh, what a big mosquito!"

Everyone was silent: ...Mosquitoes? It's not even April yet, and there are mosquitoes?

As he spoke, he did not forget to look around. I don't know if Ling Yuan was lucky, but Qingchen and the others actually saw a few of them.

Wei Jie narrowed his eyes, "Where's the mosquito?"

You took the picture so hard, you should keep it as evidence, right?

Unexpectedly, Ling Yuan said nonchalantly: "He ran away!"

"Run away?" Ling Yuan suddenly felt a chill coming over her. She rubbed her arms subconsciously and nodded to someone: "Yes, it's normal that you can't see clearly in the dark of night. What's wrong? You won't still care about this slap from me, right?"

"How does the king know whether you did it on purpose?"

Ling Yuan's mouth twitched, and she looked at him subconsciously, "Hey, how can you be so stingy, you grown man? I'm just swatting the mosquito for you, I can't guarantee that I will kill it. If you insist on holding on to this, can I let you swatt it back?"

"That makes sense, huh? Do I want you to take the photo for me?"

"Are you a man?"

"Don't you know whether I am a man or not?"

"I, I damn well know,"
