The concubine pretends to be obedient, the sinister prince's favorite

"I have met the prince."

The girl half-knelt down and saluted, then turned her eyes to Jiang Pingsheng on the side.

"I met my father."

"Okay, Nannan, get up quickly!"

Jiang Pingsheng couldn't bear to see his daughter squatting, so he didn't even care about Li Jinyuan beside him and directly walked past him to help the girl up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Father."

Jiang Li tried her best to act polite, even her facial expressions were gentle and soft, which she had specially studied.

Li Jinyuan's lips curled slightly, his deep phoenix eyes calmly observing the girl. After not seeing her for a few days, she seemed to be enjoying herself...

On the other hand, I was frequently distracted while handling government affairs in the Dark Realm, and her lively appearance kept flashing through my mind...

"Today, the king and my father-in-law will dine with you. Please go sit at the dining table."

As soon as he finished speaking, he naturally took the girl's hand and pulled her towards the dining table.

Jiang Li looked up at him in disbelief, but could only see the man's sharp jawline.

Are they really going to eat at her place?! Doesn't Li Jinyuan know what she eats every day? ...

In fact, the man really didn't know what the kitchen was doing. He held the tiger talisman to manage the army. After he got married, he stayed in the capital very rarely. Naturally, he had no time to discover these insubordinate things happening in the kitchen.

Although Butler Wang took care of the palace's internal affairs, he focused more of his energy on the Third Prince's business outside, which gave these individuals an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

"Do you really want to eat here? Or should we go to your place..."

"Good boy, it's getting late. How can you let your father-in-law go hungry?"

Li Jinyuan patted the girl's head lovingly. Such a terrifying action instantly silenced Jiang Li.

He is really "dedicated" to his work. His acting skills are even better than hers. (/(°∞°)\)

Jiang Pingsheng looked at the loving interaction between the two young people with satisfaction. It seemed that what Liusu said was true, and the relationship between the couple was not as disharmonious as rumored by the outside world.

However, he hadn't forgotten the main purpose of his visit today. He wanted to see who had the guts to treat his daughter so harshly!

"Yes, my dear. I am almost starving. I will eat here with you."

"OK then……"

Jiang Li pursed her lips helplessly. After all, she had tried to stop it...

……

In less than half an hour,

The people from the kitchen delivered the food on time, but this time Liusu did not let the servant leave easily.

"You come and carry it in today. My hand is injured and I'm afraid I can't carry all the food."

Although the servant was unhappy, he didn't think much about it and said, "Okay."

But as soon as he stepped into the hall, he realized something was wrong. A strong pressure came over him, almost making him kneel to the ground.

"Your Majesty...?"

When those sharp phoenix eyes fell on him, his hands holding the plate couldn't help shaking.

"You bold servant! When you see the prince, why don't you quickly bow?"

Mingda's scolding made him even more panicked, and he immediately fell to his knees with a thud, but the food on the tray was still held steadily in his hands.

"This servant greets His Majesty, Princess! Your Majesty, please have mercy! This servant did not mean to..."

As he knelt, the food on the tray became clearly visible to the people at the table.

Li Jinyuan's eyes darkened, and then a cold and murderous aura came over him.

Similarly, Jiang Pingsheng's face didn't look very good. Even though he was mentally prepared, he still didn't expect that his precious daughter would eat these every day without even seeing any meat!

Unlike their strong reactions, Jiang Li's expression was calm, but this look made Jiang Pingsheng feel even more distressed.

"I didn't know that the food in the Third Prince's Palace is so tight?"

Seeing General Jiang's cold face, Qi Yu immediately panicked and kicked the boy, knocking him and the vegetables to the ground.

"You bold servant, is this the kind of food you send to the princess every day?!"

Qi Yu's face turned red with anger. These bastards actually let the princess suffer injustice under their noses!

They took advantage of the princess's gentle nature and believed the rumors that she was not on good terms with the prince, so they dared to play the role of a servant bullying his master!

Seeing that the boy was hesitant and didn't dare to speak, Qi Yu raised his foot again in anger.

The servant was so frightened that he quickly raised his hands to cover his face and cried out in fear.

"Yes, it was Chef Qin who asked us to do this!"

"He's so brave for a cook!"

Hearing the sound, Qi Yu was about to go and capture the cook. Li Jinyuan did not stop him. After all, the anger in the man's eyes was no less than Qi Yu's.

"How long have you been doing this?"

The man's face was as gloomy as the dark clouds before a rainstorm, making it hard to breathe. His voice was low and powerful, and every word sounded like a precursor to impending thunder.

Seeing Li Jinyuan speak, how could the servant dare to lie to him? His voice trembled uncontrollably due to fear.

"One, one year..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Pingsheng and Li Jinyuan's faces darkened.

That was when Li Jinyuan was leading his troops on an expedition to redress the injustice. They really knew how to choose...

When he thought about the girl eating the same coarse food every day for a year after marrying into the Third Prince's Palace, his mood, which had been calm for a long time, was suddenly shaken.

"Ah."

Li Jinyuan raised the corners of his lips, but the smile did not reach his eyes.

The big palm holding the girl's small hand exerted a little force, as if trying hard to restrain something.

Jiang Li felt his emotions, then blinked her big eyes and moved closer to him. She was clearly the one eating the rotten leaves, but why did it feel like Li Jinyuan seemed to be even angrier than her?

Facing this obedient little face, the man suppressed the anger in his eyes, then gently squeezed the soft little hand in his palm, as if to comfort it.

"crunch-"

With the sound of a chair rubbing against the ground, Li Jinyuan stood up.

The man's steps were heavy and powerful, and his suppressed anger spread wantonly in the room like an invisible storm.

Seeing him approaching, the servant was so panicked that tears and snot were streaming down his face, and he just wanted to put all the blame on others.

"Your Highness! ...Your Highness doesn't care about the smallest matters. They were all ordered by Chef Qin! Not only did he have the servants withhold the food from the Princess's bedroom, he also embezzled the money allocated by Butler Wang!"

Li Jinyuan crossed his arms over his chest and looked at him calmly with his eyes lowered.

"anything else."

The servant thought he had successfully shifted all the blame to Chef Qin, and he testified even harder.

"And... and he often reports your meals to Concubine Rou! I saw it with my own eyes! The night of the last banquet at the palace, I saw him pour some powder into the wine you and the princess drank!"

Hearing this, the warmth in Li Jinyuan's eyes disappeared, and Jiang Li was also a little surprised.

She thought that the Chinese medicine was made by Furong, her close friend, last time, but she didn't expect that Concubine Rou's hands would be so long.
