Chapter 36

"The Princess has arrived."

I secretly squeezed Ml's hand.

"Don't worry just act like before."

No, it's not because of that. It's because I can't gasp loudly seeing the seductive fairy in front of me. Hot damn, did she partake in the story to be this beautiful and alluring?

My heart skip a beat just now. Soft features, sharp eyebrows, thin slim nose, delectable lips, and snow white skin. Dude, she looks like a barbie. An Asian barbie princess. If they had a son, how cute would they be? Not as cute if I ship him with the Song Jing Hua but they would still be cute little dumplings.

"This subject pays respect to Her Royal Highness, the Princess. Glory to the sun's daughter."

"Don't be too formal, such a good day for meeting the King of Yi and his wife, the eldest princess of Fu."

Even her posture, how elegant. How graceful! My heart, aiya I'm straight! Get a hold of yourself. It's okay to admire your fellow women. Yes, it is okay to admire her. Okay. I'm cool with it now.

"Beauty, you're very pretty."

I said smiling genuinely. She's far more beautiful than the portrait. I watched her reaction and just like her, there was a flash of surprise when she saw me. Maybe I should draw a portrait of her as life-like as possible. She just looks so ethereal.

"Not as peerless as the King of Yi's wife."

"...pretty! Husband! Isn't she lovely?"

I shouldn't have asked that. I shouldn't understand that cause I'm a retard. I'm an innocent fool. So, go on husband compliment her.

Ml nodded. "Indeed, very lovely."

I softly pinched his hand. You bastard, why are you looking at me? Look at her!

"Please join us, Princess. I've just received tea from the Empire of Fu. It's called Leaves of Autumn it's taste is very soothing, this subject would happily recommend it to you."

The Princess who I didn't ask her by name, took a sip and smiled softly. "Yes, it does have a lingering sweet taste."

"Sister! Sister! What's your name?"

The Princess glanced at me and looks at Jin Hai. Heh. That look in her eyes, just like everybody there's a trace of looking down upon a person. But that's alright, she's a beauty who has the potential to kill me and my place so no worries.

"Wife, did you forget? She is Princess Shangnie. Come on, try to greet the Princess so you won't forget."

Yep. She's not in the novel.

I nodded fixing my mannerism like an obedient kid. "Li Jia Ying pays respect to the beauty, Princess Shangnie."

"Oh princess, it's fine to call me by my name."

Princess Shangnie smiled, her Phoenix eyes gazing at me.

"Husband... erm, where's her husband?"

I shifted my gaze to Ml frowning, "Li Jia Ying has a husband, where's Princess Shangnie's husband? Where's everybody's husband and wife? Li Jia Ying wants to meet them all."

Immediately, her face doesn't look good Princess Shangnie sipped her tea covering her dislike towards me. She is smiling but the hand that holds the cup has a slight bulging blue vein. Nevertheless, her facial expression was composed and unaffected. That was, after all, an inverse scale for a woman like her.

Maybe I should stop. I did hit her directly instead of going more in circles... or not. It's not a bad thing if she'll loathe me

"This, the princess is embarrassed to say but she does not husband as the Princess."

Hm. She's quite mannered at answering a retard.

I smile at her and tugged Ml's clothes. "Ai husband, help sister find her husband too! It'd be saddening. Then...then she can also play with her husband, we can all play together!"

Of course, we both know it's just bvllshit.

The King of Yi smiled, "My dear wife, it is beyond your husband's control. Time will come for the Princess to meet her fated one just as this King of Yi, met you, his dear wife."

This casanova.

"Jin Hai."

Oh? You're now calling him firsthand? That's a bold start. Very good.

"How was your trip to the Fu Empire?"

"Now that the princess mentioned it, the First Prince and Second Princess extended their greeting to you and hope that someday there's a time that they'll be able to meet the Fu's princess."

"Indeed I've heard of them, and their outstanding talents. Those people are highly known even to our empire even if they didn't come."

Yes, and I'm the most useless one. Sigh. I don't mind your indirect words. It's very hard to become the female lead in a story if you have two transmigrators in one novel. We side-characters are too pitiful, even I the villainess only has the antagonistic role when I became sane.

I nodded jubilantly, "Yes! Brother is very good! He takes good care of me. Brothers the best!"

"Sister, and sister! She is liked by everyone."

"Li Jia Ying saw also saw many people being beaten because they bully sister and brother. But they treat me well, I wasn't beaten!"

Instead, that lovely brother jumps the final stage of killing me.

"..."

"... princess likes her siblings."

"Yes yes."

"Then this princess hopes you won't feel lonely now that you've parted ways with your brother and sister."

"It's saddening."

I'm really upset and depressed. I want to get away from their hands yet look, I've dug myself into the largest pit.

"Do you love your siblings the most?"

"Brother the most!"

"If so, the King of Yi your husband must be more cherished than you're brother for you to leave him."

My eyes gradually became wet. I'm extremely touched. This princess really wants to ruin our relationship look at that subtle and at times blatant statement.

Seeing Ml was about to open his mouth I stared at him and quickly said, "He's more handsome than brother."

Smiles

"..."

Aiya, don't look at me like that princess. I'm a fool alright. What can I do? Sob.

"Don't worry, your husband will always be right here."

Ml hugged me tightly.

"..."

"You always are."

"You'll get used to it."

I stared dumbly at him, "I don't understand."

He chuckled, "Of course you don't."

Whatever the more I speak the more he'll use it to show how affectionate he is with me. The best I could do is smile slightly at Princess Shangnie. Dear, if you now begin to harbor ill-intention about me continue doing so and help me. Okay?

As the two talked more about the empire I just jubilantly eat the snacks in front of me. Oh yeah, let's make it more barbaric and unrefined when doing so.

"...then the matter?"

Right, they were talking about business.

"Have come to an end. Thank you for your generous offer Princess but my decision will not change."

"If that's so, then this princess will leave. There's nothing else for me to say."

Ah, the unrequited love.

"Then my trusted person will guide you. Forgive this subject for not escorting you out himself."

"No trouble at all, this princess understands."

Princess Shangnie replied and glanced at me.

Erm... Don't worry princess, I'll somehow think of a way. Hang in there.

"She left."

"That's good."

"Haven't you enjoyed talking to her?"

"I enjoyed starting at her face."

What could I say? I'm vain with anything aesthetic. The Ml he's extremely handsome alright but... meh.

"Now Bengong should worry about beautiful women too. My wife, you're making me wary even with women."

I just chuckled.

"That woman either she tames a man for his bidding or the man can tame him."

It's better that a man can tame her. "Sadly, there's no man who can tame her better than you."

A woman who's in love is easy to tame when it's the person of interest that handles her.

Ml is a natural manipulator, and he isn't that stupid about other people's feelings for him. If he uses it, it won't also be long when he can hold his grip on the Emperor. Well, there is still the Female Lead. But the possibility of polygamy is still possible. You'll never know.

"You're at it again."

What's wrong with it?

"Why husband, you don't like me being a generous wife?"

I got a hold of his arm and hugged him like a golden thigh.

"This wife of yours is quite understanding, forgiving, and generous if you want to build your harem then Li Jia Ying will happily welcome them. You can never find someone as open-minded as me who won't dare to compete for your favor. That kind of wife is hard to find."

Believe me, I'm confident and reliable. I'm the model of all first wives. Who would dare be as merciful and compassionate as me?

"Whatever you do, that will never happen."

Che. Always being difficult. If that doesn't count then, "Fufu."

I'll make sure to put a green hat on you. Maybe if I reach your bottom line there's some hope. Hope by being executed that is. Hm, let's put that as a last resort for now while I think of other strategies.

At least I've met the Princess. All I could do now is wait for any news or actions from her.

"You're thinking too much again."

I felt his warm chest pulling me into his embrace. It was cozy as if I fit perfectly with him whenever he hugs me. A fitting puzzle. Even his fingers are so beautiful, just like those in the manhwa series.

Fvck.

I push him away and rose from my seat.

"Then Li Jia Ying will go first."

And out I escaped from temptation.

"You are an embarrassment. A horny virgin. Where was that veteran succubus online? Dumbass."

Now I miss chatting with random strangers on the web teasing and annoying them.

At least, I've met the princess for now. Another person to look at if she could be an enemy or a friend. If there's a line in between then it's not bad to make a deal. After all, the person I knew after coming here are only the physician and Ml. They're both from the same side. Someone like the princess is better than being eyed by those two.

Sigh.

To think that I've left my empire this easy filled me with no sense of achievement.

"At least those maids are dead."

I mumbled smiling ruefully.

Yeah, at least they're dead, and the Emperor and my brother...

"Nah."

Let's just put it aside for now.
