Fu Yao has been living in the palace for some time now.
The king did not lie to her; Fu Yao was living in Ji Yanli's mansion.
The entire palace was prepared to serve her according to the standards of a mistress of the house.
Her life here is a hundred times more comfortable than it was at the Fu family home.
Oh well, what can you do when she's born lucky?
As a child, she was pampered by her parents. Later, she met Ji Yanli, a nobleman who had been left behind.
When she gets old, her son with Ji Yanli will naturally become the next king.
Her son will also give her the highest honor.
Without lifting a finger, she became the most honored woman.
But Fu Yao did not smile.
She remembered that it was Li Zongci who coldly and ruthlessly detonated the bomb, killing her parents.
On what grounds?
They did nothing wrong, so why should they die!
Damn it, it wasn't them!
It was Fu Yu!
Fu Yao grew angrier the more she thought about it, and she smashed the water cup and the wet towel that the maid handed her on the ground.
The fragments were scattered all over the ground.
"Kneel on it."
Fu Yao pointed at the fragments and raised her voice to give the order.
"Ms. Fu... I'm sorry, I'll clean up right away."
"Don't you understand what I'm saying? I told you to kneel down right now."
Fu Yao pressed down on the maid's shoulders, forcing her to kneel among the shards.
The smell of blood instantly filled the room.
Fu Yao sneered and lifted the maid's chin.
Living in the palace certainly offered a higher quality of life than living in the Fu family's household.
But Fu Yao had to admit it.
In the Fu family, she was a high-and-mighty heiress, and Ji Yanli was merely her bodyguard.
She was on top, and he was on the bottom.
At the royal palace.
Ji Yanli was an unattainable prince charming in the eyes of all eligible women in the capital.
Fu Yao was merely a woman he had rescued.
To this day, Ji Yanli has not given her a formal royal title.
Those lowly women who wanted to marry into the royal family even as concubines were like flies swarming around Ji Yanli.
The maid in front of him was the same lowly woman who had tried to seduce Ji Yanli in the study last night.
Even though they were treated like mistresses, without any official status, Fu Yao had no right to drive them away.
This indirect method is the only way to teach them how to be good people.
“A-Xia”.
"Prince".
The maid, A-Xia, with tears streaming down her face, rushed into Ji Yanli's arms.
"Ji Yanli, she talked back to me! She bullied me! Get rid of her! I don't want to see her again!"
In the entire palace, no, in the entire capital, probably only Fu Yao dared to address Ji Yanli by his given name.
Fu Yao naturally has this privilege.
Ji Yanli loved her, loved her unconditionally, and loved her until the end of time.
What's a little trouble to drive away a maid for her sake?
Fu Yao confidently raised her swan-like neck.
Time passed second by second, but she did not hear Ji Yanli say that he wanted to drive A Xia away.
He even personally helped A-Xia up and instructed the other maids to take her to see a doctor.
Fu Yao's smug smile froze on her face.
"Ali, she's the one who bullied me, and you're actually concerned about her injuries!"
Ji Yanli rubbed his temples. "Little princess, this isn't the Fu family home. The royal family has its own rules; you can't just run wild here."
"act wildly?"
Fu Yao couldn't believe that A Li, who loved her the most and had chosen to become her accomplice without hesitation, was actually saying that she was acting wildly.
"Ji Yanli! Do you think I'm being unreasonable?!"
Ji Yanli sighed.
"Fu Yao, A Xia is the 36th maid you've hurt. Whenever a maid gets close to me, you torture them with all sorts of excuses. Do you know that the entire palace is watching us make a fool of ourselves!"
“Ali, they have ulterior motives and are deliberately trying to seduce you. You are my man, and I will not allow any woman other than me to get close to you.”
"I'm sorry, Ali. You know I don't have a mom or dad anymore. I only have you left. You're all I have."
“I feel extremely insecure right now. How about we get married and become family? Then I won’t feel so anxious and fearful…”
Before he could finish speaking, Ji Yanli silently pushed her hand away.
“A-Yao”.
Ji Yanli said coldly, "It is my duty to produce offspring for the royal family. My grandfather intends to skip my father and make me king directly. If you really want to stay by my side, you have to get used to all of this."
"I can't have only one woman, but don't worry, my heart will always be with you. I only love my little princess."
"But I also understand that what the little princess needs is unique love. If you can't accept that, I can send you away from here."
Ji Yanli pushed Fu Yao even further away.
His tone and actions were equally cold-blooded and ruthless.
"I will arrange a villa for you outside the palace, ensuring you have enough to eat and wear and a smooth life."
Snap.
Tears fell onto the back of my hand.
If she were to leave the palace, she might as well marry Ji Yanli's concubine.
She became a mistress who couldn't be seen in the light of day, a nameless and unrecognized mistress.
No.
Can't.
"Ali, I won't make a fuss anymore. I won't make a fuss anymore, please don't send me away."
Fu Yao hugged Ji Yanli tightly, unaware that she had stepped on the shards of glass. Glass shards pierced her skin, and blood slowly seeped out.
Ji Yanli patted Fu Yao's back gently, revealing a meaningful smile.
From then on, Fu Yao never dared to mention marriage again.
They also dared not bully the maid who seduced Ji Yanli.
The proud swan eventually broke its wings and became a canary dependent on humans.
She blamed all her suffering on Fu Yu.
If Fu Yu hadn't shamelessly hooked up with Li Zongci, her parents wouldn't have died, and she wouldn't be wandering in other countries.
They will not be helpless and have no family to rely on, and will not be bullied by others!
Late at night, she would often hear strange noises coming from Ji Yanli's study.
She endured it.
She continued to endure the situation as the king selected a bride for the Ji Yanli ceremony.
When Ji Yanli got engaged to a socialite from a prominent family, Fu Yao finally couldn't hold back anymore. She pushed open Ji Yanli's study door and hugged him tightly, sobbing uncontrollably.
"Ali, I lied. I don't want to share you with another woman. Tell me, is there any way to prevent you from marrying her!"
"Little princess, there is a way."
Ji Yanli pinched Fu Yao's chin, his gentle pupils radiating a cold, sharp light, like a delicious poison.
It may look delicious, but it's actually deadly.
"But it depends on whether you can do it."
"I do."
Before Ji Yanli could explain, Fu Yao readily agreed.
It seemed as if she was worried that Ji Yanli might change his mind and not want to marry her.
Ates Noble Academy, Campus Festival.
Every year, the college engages in friendly exchange activities with neighboring countries.
Several days later, Fu Yao and Ji Yanli, under the pretext of being student representatives from Country D, returned to the academy.
At the banquet, the two of them looked at Li Zongci on the stage and Fu Yu standing next to him.
