A mouthful of rice

A bite of food.

"Here, one more bite of rice." As Miao said this, she picked up a clump of rice.

"..."

Mu Shengyuan watched as Miao Yi fed him bite by bite of rice and bite by bite of vegetables, alternating like this. He went from feeling ashamed at first to becoming a little numb. It was as if Miao Yi had some kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder, feeding him bite by bite of rice and bite by bite of vegetables, all about the same size. Mu Shengyuan could almost count how many grains of rice were in that clump.

Maintaining the same pace and tone of voice, Mu Shengyuan gradually calmed down. Watching Miao Yi eat a bite of rice and a dish of vegetables every now and then, he felt that it was somewhat like playing house as a child.

Mu Shengyuan laughed as he thought about it.

But... towards the end, with each bite of rice and vegetable, he found himself feeling full without even realizing it.

"Come on..." Before Miao Yi could finish speaking, Mu Shengyuan had already subconsciously opened his mouth.

But Mu Shengyuan felt something was strange when nothing entered his mouth.

Miao Yi's gaze had already fallen on that corner.

Mu Shengyuan followed Miao Yi's gaze with curiosity and looked over.

Originally, it was just the two of them eating here, but soon the housekeeper brought four or five people over.

They all looked to be in their thirties, forties, or fifties.

After seeing those people, Mu Shengyuan naturally knew who they were and understood their intentions. At this moment, Mu Shengyuan calmed down and wanted to see what they would do.

After all, he was a fool, and Miao Yi's previous reputation was that of a spoiled brat. How could these high-ranking officials possibly manage to find two such unreliable people?

Mu Shengyuan's eyes flickered slightly. As soon as they were exposed, Mu Shengyuan hid behind Miao Yi.

“My lady, someone’s here.”

"Hmm." Miao Yi withdrew his gaze, no longer looking at the unfamiliar people, but instead asking the boy hiding behind him.

Miao Yi helped the man up and placed him in the seat next to him.

Miao asked, "Are you full?"

Mu Shengyuan paused, glancing at the people who were almost at their table. "Miao Yi is far too calm," she thought.

However, upon hearing Miao Yi's words, he subconsciously touched his stomach, then obediently nodded and cooperated.

Mu Shengyuan grinned and said, "Yuanyuan is full."

"It's good that you're full." Miao Yi's gaze fell on the boy's mouth area, which looked much more pleasant since it was clean. Miao Yi couldn't help but nod.

"Sit still and wait for me. I'll finish eating soon."

As Miao Yi spoke, she began to eat her own food, using the clump of rice on her chopsticks that she had originally intended to feed to the boy, but the boy hadn't eaten yet, and was already full.

Miao Yi thought you hadn't even considered eating it yourself, and started eating with the chopsticks in her hand without any hesitation.

Mu Shengyuan noticed this detail and froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered and came out again. After all, he had experienced this problem twice before, and this was the third time.

"Yes, Yuanyuan is the most obedient."

Mu Shengyuan can quickly regulate his emotional fluctuations, especially since he is currently wearing the mask of a fool, which makes it even easier for him to regulate his emotional fluctuations.

The more people there are, the better he can spot the fools.

"Your Highness! We've come all this way, aren't you even going to look at us?!" Several adults had been standing here for quite a while.

But after they arrived, they were like decorations, not even getting a glance from Miao Yi, and instead just eating her food on their own.

As if these high-ranking officials were less important than the food in front of her, the expressions on their faces were not very pleasant.

"Your Highness!" For the first time, an adult called out, but Miao Yi didn't react at all, as if she hadn't heard. This made the adults' faces even more unpleasant, and they seemed to darken slightly.

Another adult raised their voice and shouted sternly.

The voice was loud and somewhat menacing. The boy, who was considered mentally challenged, trembled instinctively upon hearing it and looked at the menacing group with some fear.

Miao Yi gently patted the boy's shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid." Then, her eyes turned and she looked at the newcomer with a hint of coldness.

The adults were momentarily shocked by Miao Yihe's imposing presence, but it was only for a moment. Once they realized that she was a spoiled brat, their aura was nothing more than a show of force and didn't hold any weight.

"Your Highness..." The Prime Minister, as the representative, spoke up, wanting to try to reason with the other party first, but before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Miao Yi.

"princess."

"What?" The Prime Minister didn't understand what Miao Yi meant at first, but she blurted it out subconsciously.

"Third Princess Consort," Miao Yi said coldly, showing no fear of the arrival of these people.

Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister realized what Miao Yi meant, but she found the phrase "Third Princess" somewhat sarcastic.

She had offered him the title of "Princess of the Heir Apparent," which would have sounded much better than "Princess Consort of the Third Prince," but he refused, ungrateful for her kindness.

The Prime Minister gave a cold snort, and the other officials also realized what he meant. Instantly, they made no attempt to hide the mockery in their eyes.

"Alright, Third Princess." The Prime Minister still remembered why he had come, and he didn't let her lead him by the nose. He calmed down and prepared to explain his purpose.

But before she could even finish speaking, she was interrupted by Miao Yi.

"Please speak softly and don't be too harsh. My little husband is still young and will be scared." Miao Yi ate her meal slowly, speaking slowly and deliberately.

This made their faces even darker.

When Mu Shengyuan heard the phrase "my little husband," something seemed to be slowly sprouting in his heart, making his heart itch slightly.

Regardless of his inner thoughts, he quickly cooperated with Miao Yi. He opened his clear black and white eyes, looking at the adults with a hint of fear and trembling. He seemed very afraid of them.

"..." That's true, it's as if these few people have done something terribly wrong.

"Miss Nan Yan, don't be so arrogant!" The Minister, who had a short temper, couldn't hold back his anger any longer and stepped out from behind the Prime Minister.

"Who do you think you are now? What great abilities do you have to act so freely here!"

The Prime Minister did not stop her, seemingly letting her do as she pleased. Her eyes still held a hint of permission. Indeed, not everyone could interrupt her again and again, especially since this was a notorious playboy, a troublemaker, a harasser, and a hooligan—all the despicable words were used to describe Miao Yi.

Not only did the Prime Minister approve of the Minister's actions, but the other officials also looked on with approval, as if what the Minister said was right.

They were just waiting to see how Muse would fared.

However, because of the Minister's words, Mu Shengyuan perfectly concealed the fear of a fool, and was now trembling and hiding behind Miao Yi.

Miao Yi is unhappy!

His eyes narrowed slightly, his expression growing increasingly dark and somber...

Mu Shengyuan was right behind Miao Yi and could clearly sense the change in Miao Yi's aura.

She was angry.

These four words flashed through Mu Shengyuan's mind... and for some reason, he also felt a little nervous!
