He even accepted food from the beautiful maids from time to time. His expression of enjoying having his fur stroked made someone very angry.

He was so angry, but this girl was still eating so heartlessly.

Also, how come he didn't notice that there were so many women around her who looked just like her?

Who got this for her?

The so-called women who are cut from the same mold generally refer to the ladies from prominent families in the capital.

For Wei Jie, who is face-blind, there is really no possibility that this woman, whose appearance and temperament are almost cut from the same mold, will attract his attention.

When Ling Yuan eats, she feels the happiest and most comfortable time of the day, so she is particularly serious.

Her four maids were so busy feeding them soup, vegetables, fruits and desserts that no one noticed Wei Jie's sudden arrival.

This feeling of being ignored made Wei Jie, who had a strong aura and presence, very unhappy.

"Get out!" Wei Jie's voice contained a hint of majesty and oppression, which made Ling Yuan, who was eating, choke. The four maids turned around suddenly, and were also stunned when they saw Wei Jie standing at the door.

Then, without caring about Ling Yuan who was trying hard to swallow the water because of choking, they all knelt on the ground with a "thump thump".

"Your servant An Hui (An Ran, Anna, Annie) pays respect to His Majesty the Phoenix King. May Your Majesty be well and safe."

Then, under Wei Jie's condescending gaze, the four maids felt their scalps tingling and their whole bodies weak, and they turned around to look at their master unconsciously.

Ling Yuan took a few gulps of tea before she finally came back to life. Suddenly, she noticed four pairs of eyes looking at her pitifully.

She immediately raised her hands and waved at them unhappily. Really, these four people seemed so powerful on weekdays, and sometimes even spoke harshly to her, but why did they act like mice seeing a cat when they saw this man?

One by one, they hid faster than anyone else. How scary is this man?

Ling Yuan seemed to have forgotten that when she first met Wei Jie, she was exactly the same as them. However, as time went by and the two of them spent more time together, she gradually understood his temper and became bolder.

After the strangers left impatiently, Ling Yuan glared at someone and said, "Who are you showing off your arrogant attitude to? I, your maid, didn't provoke you. You keep a cold face every day. Aren't you cold yourself?"

Wei Jie snorted, "Are you still in the mood to eat?"

Ling Yuan didn't react and looked at him strangely, "What's wrong? Why am I not in the mood to eat? By the way, have you eaten? If not, sit down and try my Anna's cooking. I guarantee that you will feel that your trip is worthwhile."

As he said this, he moved his plate to the side. At this time, An Hui had already very considerately brought up another set of tableware and naturally placed it in the first place.

At this time, Ling Yuan had already sat aside. This action inexplicably pleased someone's arrogance.

He immediately sat down very politely, but after sitting down, his face was still so gloomy that water could drip out of it, and he didn't show any sign of being happy.

Ling Yuan glanced at the table and suddenly his face turned dark.

"Hey, you don't think this is something I used before, so you want us to make it again, right?"

Wei Jie raised his eyebrows calmly and said nothing.

Ling Yuan believed it and put down her chopsticks involuntarily. "There are so many dishes, I just picked up a few with my chopsticks. If you don't want to eat, I'll eat by myself. I'll ask them to prepare another table for you." As she said this, she stood up and prepared to walk out.

Wei Jie's brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again. He grabbed her wrist and pinned it to the table, looking at her with disapproval.

Ling Yuan was even more confused by his action. She tilted her head and looked at him questioningly: "What does your Highness mean? If you say one more word, you will die. You are just guessing like this. I am not a worm in your stomach that can read automatically!"

"Woman, have I ever told you that when you are not confident, you are...ugly?"

Ling Yuan raised her eyebrows in surprise, obviously surprised that such words would come from Wei Jie's mouth.

It was a pity that she caught the highlight of it without savoring it carefully, and then she curled her lips in self-mockery.

"You don't need to tell me this. Anyone can tell me with their facial expressions that you are ugly, dark, and fat. But, so what? If Your Majesty doesn't want to see me, you can leave. I am happy and relaxed and don't have to serve you!"

With that, he brushed off his restraints, stood up with a stern face, and was about to leave.

Wei Jie looked at her without blinking for a long time, and a smile slowly appeared in his deep eyes.

"You still care, don't you? You care about people calling you 'ugly', right?"

Ling Yuan pulled out a sneer on her lips, "Of course, who doesn't care about these things? Fortunately, this is the irony I have experienced since I was a child, and it doesn't matter if you say this. If the prince really can't stand it, you can find a reason, "

However, before she could say the next words, she was shocked by the sudden action of the person who came. Her pupils trembled and her fat, stupid body froze in place in an instant.

Ling Yuan's clear eyes reflected the wild face of someone very close to her. She felt his cold lips gently pressing against hers, and his warm breath blowing gently and tickling her.

When their eyes met, she clearly saw the flash of pity in his deep eyes, and her long eyelashes blinked gently, again and again.

Is he sympathizing with her?

She, who had just been stunned, suddenly regained her composure and pushed away the momentary warmth with all her strength.

"Your Majesty, please respect yourself. Your princess is too old for you to torture her like this!"

You can kiss such an ugly face, but I can't bear to be teased by you later.

Wei Jie looked at her, his expression suddenly turned extremely cold: "You don't have to be alert all the time. What age? What ugly? What girl? Ling Yuan, you are now my concubine, the head princess of the Phoenix Palace. You are already married, can you have some self-awareness and confidence as the mistress of the house?"

Seeing that Ling Yuan didn't even look at him, Wei Jie's face almost froze to death.

Suddenly, he reached out and clamped her chin, forcing her to raise her head and look directly into his eyes.

"I don't care how old you are. In my eyes, you are not just a girl, but my princess, my woman!"

"As my woman, how can you push me into the arms of another woman? Ling Yuan, Ling Yuan, are you too confident, or am I just an object in your eyes that you can give to others at will?"

From the day she married him, he decided that she was his woman. How could a woman that Wei Jie approved of push him away? This was simply a great shame!

Or did she think that Wei Jie would marry another Princess Feng in his lifetime?

"Listen carefully. This king married you because of that so-called agreement. But since you are married to this king, you must be aware of being a wife and a woman."

"Of course, I will do my best to fulfill my duties as a husband and even a father. I, Wei Jie, only have you, Ling Yuan, as my Phoenix Queen. You are mine in this life and mine in death. Don't even think about having any other thoughts that you shouldn't have. Do you understand?"

Ling Yuan stared at him blankly, a little dazed by his loud and deafening voice.

"How come this guy suddenly has such a severe seizure? He's so mysterious, what is he talking about?"

What does it mean to have the awareness of being a wife?

When did she lose her sense of being a wife?

What does it mean to push him into the arms of another woman?

This is even more outrageous. When did she push him to another woman? It was obviously Wei Yuchen who pushed him to another woman.

Did this person get the wrong person?

But..., does this man's domineering scolding count as a confession of love to her?

Why did her mood suddenly change from gloomy to sunny, and why did a warm current flow in her heart?

After being stunned for a moment, her eyes suddenly lit up, her spirit suddenly trembled, and she looked at him with admiration, eagerness, and hope.

"Dear Prince Ho-oh!!!"

"Excuse me, are you confessing your love to your most beloved Princess Feng?"

Honey?

The one you love the most?

The corner of Wei Jie's mouth twitched, his body trembled, and goose bumps appeared all over his body in an instant.

Oh my God, could such a disgusting voice really come from Ling Yuan’s mouth?

Why does he feel that his woman is different from other women?

Even though he spoke so harshly, she didn't feel the slightest bit of fear. Instead, she looked at him with such a bright look.

This silly, stupid look, coupled with her dark, chubby face, reminded him of the big fat cat that idiot Qingchen kept!

"Cough, um, cough cough," Wei Jie moved his body uncomfortably, and unconsciously let go of the hand that was pinching someone's chin.

However, before he could step back, Ling Yuan took the initiative to step forward, grabbed his hand, pried open his thick palm, and then, in Wei Jie's surprised gaze, pressed it against his smooth, dark cheek.

Then, she stared at him without blinking, with a serious expression he had never seen before.

"Do you feel it? It's warm here, and my heart is warm too. I'm not insensitive, nor am I cold-blooded and heartless."

"Wei Jie, do you know what you just said? Do you know what it means after you said it?"

"Look at my face. Do you see it clearly? Now tell me, are you serious about what you just said?"

Wei Jie's expression did not change at all. His eyes gradually focused on her face. His jade-like hands gently stroked her warm and tender cheeks. In an instant, the world was quiet. As their eyes met, they could only hear each other's breathing.

She is in your eyes and you are in her eyes. What a touching moment!

When everything around me was enveloped in such a pink bubble, suddenly——

Ling Yuan felt a sudden pain on her cheek, and then the illusion that had just condensed turned into foam in an instant!

The romantic style you thought of also changed immediately.

"Ah, it hurts, it hurts, Wei Jie, you bastard, let go, let go, will you? If you don't, I'll stab you to death!"

Who would have thought that Wei Jie, who had just been caressing someone's cheek with a tender look on his face, would suddenly change to pinching her face?

And she pinched her face so hard, so hard that when he saw her bulging cheeks and her wild nature, the corners of his lips curled up and he thought, "This is the style I want."

"Zha? Are you sure you can still free your hands now?"

Because of the pain, tears were already overflowing from Ling Yuan's eyes. She patted his arm and glared at him hatefully: "Wei Jie, you liar, liar, wuwuwu, let me go, it hurts, it really hurts, my face, my face is swollen!"

"It's okay if it's swollen. You're swollen anyway!"

Oh my god, do you have to be so straightforward?

Seeing the little fat girl in his arms with a pair of beautiful big eyes that were about to bulge out, Wei Jie felt that the punishment was enough, so he kindly let her go.

As soon as he loosened his grip, the little fat girl over there instantly jumped three feet away from him.

She covered her face with a look of vigilance and glared at him: "Vile, shameless, and vulgar!"

Looking at her chubby appearance, someone's heart was melted instantly. Who said that his woman was ugly?

Look, how cute she is. If you give her a tail, she will look like a big fat black cat with its fur standing on end!

Who of them has such a lively and unique cat?

Those wooden figures carved from the same mold are not as cute as their lifelike fat cat!

"Come here," Wei Jie waved at her. Ling Yuan rolled her eyes at him proudly. Only a fool would go over there!

Wei Jie ignored her and sat down by himself, then glanced at her sideways, "Aren't you hungry? If you delay any longer, the food will get cold."

After being reminded like this, Ling Yuan realized that she had barely eaten a few bites. In front of such delicious food, especially one specially made for her by Anna from their family, she certainly couldn't let it go to waste.

She walked up to him obediently, looked at him warily, and found that his attention had shifted to the food in front of him. Then she breathed a sigh of relief and sat down.

"Is it appropriate for you to let Xia Yunhe attend various occasions on your behalf?"

Ling Yuan had just picked up a piece of braised pork with chopsticks and put it in her mouth when she heard Wei Jie looking at her with sidelong eyes.

She frowned slightly. It seemed that nothing in the Phoenix Palace could escape Wei Jie's eyes.

He immediately bit his chopsticks and nodded, "Is it wrong?"

Wei Jie raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a half-smile: "You have already told others, it is not appropriate for me to say it now, don't you think it is too late?"

Ling Yuan curled her lips and nodded in agreement, "It's a bit late, so why did you say it?"

"If I hadn't pointed it out, I wouldn't have known when you sold me out."

Someone's impolite words made Ling Yuan frown slightly. What did this mean? What did she mean by selling him out? What did she sell him out for?

Besides, does she dare to sell him? Does she have the ability to sell him?

Seeing her stupid and dull look, Wei Jie was so angry that he wanted to eat dirt. He immediately shook his head, looking as if he was very disappointed in her.

"Think carefully about what you should and shouldn't do. I am yours, do you hear me? Not only that, you are also mys, not just any random person can get close to me!"

Uh..., why does this sound so uncomfortable?

What do you mean, sister is yours and you are sister's?

My sister is obviously my own, right?

But what on earth did he mean by this?

Ling Yuan ate the rice one grain at a time unconsciously, thinking about the conversation between the two of them just now. At the end of her thought, she finally understood.

Sweat dripping, this old man couldn't possibly think that by letting Xia Yunhe take her place at those banquets, she was pushing her to him, right?

No wonder as soon as she came here, he made a fuss about her age and her appearance, and even gave her such a passionate confession?

Oh my god, she asked why he said something so inexplicable like "you look ugly when you are not confident", he was clearly accusing himself of not being confident enough!

Even when he kissed her later, facing her face, yes, yes, yes, it was interrupted by his pinch just now, and she still hasn't figured out whether he is serious about her!

Thinking of this, she put down her chopsticks with a snap, then supported herself on the table with both hands, stood up quickly, and stared at Wei Jie with more seriousness than ever before.

"You haven't answered me just now. Are you serious about me?" As he said this, he did not forget to move his fingers back and forth between each other.

Wei Jie ate his meal slowly and leisurely. It must be said that what the girl said was right. The food was indeed better than that cooked by the chef in the palace. This fat girl really knew how to enjoy herself.

Seeing that he ignored her, she thought he was avoiding her intentionally, so she curled her lips in disdain, "That's what I told you, how could you men be interested in someone like me? You said it so sincerely that I almost took it seriously, ha~"

Just as Ling Yuan was about to sit down, Wei Jie's ambiguous voice suddenly sounded from behind her.

"Which eye of yours could tell that I was teasing you? So all I said was just talking to a cow, right?"

"Woman, you have a disabled skin and a disabled body, how come your brain is also disabled?"

"I don't dislike you, but you dislike me? Are you a woman?"

Under Wei Jie's questioning, Ling Yuan turned around with a strange expression on her face, then looked at him and responded fearlessly.

"No, I am eleven years old this year. I am not yet a woman, but a girl. Do you understand?"

"I know nothing!"

Oh my god, this face that has been as cold as ice for thousands of years actually cursed. Shit, she really wasn't dreaming!

"Why are you so stubborn? So unconfident? Ling Yuan, look at yourself. What on earth do you think of yourself as a child?"

"Your mind, your thoughts, your wisdom, your medical skills, and your strength all tell us that you are a mature, thoughtful, and capable woman. What on earth does this have to do with age?"

"Since you have entered the Phoenix Palace and married me, Wei Jie, you are my woman. If I hear you using your age as an excuse again in the future, I will not scold you like I did today, but will... strangle you to death!"

Ling Yuan felt her scalp tingling and breathing difficult after being threatened by him, and she shivered.

Ling Yuan, who had never seen Wei Jie talk so much like he did today, suddenly felt like she was living in a dream.

But his words reminded her that this was not a dream. She should not be unconfident, should not have no faith in herself, should not feel inferior, and should not imagine herself to be too depressing.

"You~," Ling Yuan wanted to ask him what had happened to him, but Wei Jie gave her a cold look, which scared her so much that she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

Seeing her like this, Wei Jie didn't want to push her too hard, so he stood up and glanced down at her.

"I will not repeat these words today for a second time. As my princess, you should do what a Phoenix princess should do instead of just avoiding them!"

"Ling Yuan, you should believe in yourself. Not everyone pays attention to appearance and body shape. Sometimes, wisdom and strength are the key to victory. As for that skin, haha, I really have never taken it seriously!"

Looking at Wei Jie's back, Ling Yuan touched her face blankly. Is it really not important?
