Obsessively Raised by My Doll 186

Chapter 186

Lu Dieqing almost stomped her feet in shame.

In the past, when they were behind closed doors, with only her and Ningning, it didn’t matter what they said.

But today, her mother was also at her side, and Ningning, taking advantage of the fact that her doll’s identity would not be discovered, was secretly saying these things to her. Aaaah! So embarrassing.

The girl, with two red blushes on her face, was so obvious that even Lu He noticed something was wrong and asked her, “Is the wedding dress too thick? How did you get so hot?”

Lu He turned her head and instructed the serving lady at her side, “Pour some tea for the princess.”

The serving lady quickly handed over the tea. Lu Dieqing opened her mouth, wanting to say that she was not hot at all.

But seeing her mother looking at her with such a concerned expression, she bit her lip, took the teacup, and drank it all down.

Forget it, forget it.

Hmph, Ningning is such a little bad egg. I’ll have to tease her too in the future!

The little rabbit secretly wrote a note in her heart’s account book, preparing to get back today’s interest in the future.

Zheng Xuening also knew when to stop. Seeing that her little rabbit was about to explode from being teased, she smiled and sent a telepathic message to the other’s heart.

“When I’m done with my work, I’ll come and find you.”

They had not seen each other for so long.

Even just a single night’s separation felt long to Zheng Xuening.

Although the identity of the little doll could slightly alleviate some of her longing, being a doll was not as good as being with the little rabbit in a human body.

As for what was so good about it.

When they slept at night, she could hold the girl in her arms, fragrant and soft. It was naturally better than being a hard little doll, which could only nestle in a corner of the other’s embrace.

The difference between the two was so obvious that anyone would know how to choose.

Yes, Zheng Xuening now felt that being a doll was a bit of a chicken rib.

But it was precisely because of this identity as a doll that she and her little rabbit had established a unique link.

Their hearts were connected, and no matter how far apart they were, they could immediately transmit their thoughts to each other.

Zheng Xuening liked this kind of connection very much.

When she withdrew her divine sense from Lu Dieqing, she saw the broker from yesterday come to visit.

“Your Highness, the large garden you wanted is ready. Here is the deed.”

When the broker spoke of these things, she was very excited.

“Everything inside is complete, all new. Speaking of which, that garden has a history. I heard that it was passed down from the ancestors of the Shan court. In the past, a fairy lived there. Later, the fairy ascended, and this garden was built and has been empty ever since.”

Anyway, it was said to be a garden specially built by an old ancestor of the Shan royal family, who was also a puppeteer in the past. But after hearing these legends so many times, everyone just listened casually and did not take them to heart.

The broker was a little embarrassed, but she still said honestly, “This matter is also thanks to Your Highness’s status. The nobles I know were only willing to transfer this garden because of you.”

There was no need to take credit for this. It would be exposed with a single investigation.

The broker was also very clear about this.

In this line of work, reputation was extremely important.

Zheng Xuening seemed to be not at all interested in the nobles the broker was talking about. Hearing this, she just nodded slightly.

Her eyes were long and slender, with a natural charm, but when she was facing anyone but Lu Dieqing, she would show a different, colder, and more aggressive flavor.

Now, looking at the broker like this, even with just a casual glance, it made the broker say everything she had originally intended to hide.

“That, that noble said that the garden can be given up, but she wants to ask for a meeting with you to discuss something.”

The broker was not sure how the Crown Princess of the Chaoying Kingdom, who had come from afar, would view this matter, and what her reaction would be, so she said it with a bit of a lack of confidence.

After all, before this, they had also occasionally heard that the heir of the Chaoying Kingdom was a person with a moody and unpredictable personality, and even a mass murderer.

Although the world loved to spread rumors, and things might have been exaggerated, but if such a reputation could be spread, there was probably some source to it, right?

In the broker’s opinion, this Crown Princess of the Chaoying Kingdom, when she did things, did not have any servants following her, but did them herself. But she had a certain air of authority that was not angry. It was really impossible to judge her with common sense.

Zheng Xuening stared at the broker for a long moment and put down the thumb ring she had been playing with.

“Then have her come and see me.”

The broker was as if granted a great amnesty and quickly agreed.

*

In the time it takes for a cup of tea, the person who had wanted to meet with Zheng Xuening through this garden appeared.

The other party walked into the teahouse from outside and entered the private room. Zheng Xuening frowned slightly.

Lu Ruyi raised her neck, her heart pounding. Before, she had been unsure whether Zheng Xuening would see her.

Her mother was going to give the garden that her grandmother, the Empress, had bestowed on her in her early years to her cousin to be the wedding house with Zheng Xuening. She was very unwilling in her heart.

But her mother’s actions, even if she tried to stop her, were useless. In the end, she could only take this opportunity to want to see that person in private.

Now that she had really seen her, Lu Ruyi’s heart was full of emotions, and when she stood in front of Zheng Xuening, she was as if she had been hit by a paralyzing spell, and she couldn’t open her mouth.

Zheng Xuening poured a bowl of tea for herself, drank it all in one go, and placed it on the table with a crisp sound.

“What is the matter for which you have come to see me, Princess?”

She was not in the mood to waste time and had always been straightforward.

Seeing her so calm and cold, her bright eyes and brows full of distance, Lu Ruyi’s nails dug deep into her palms, and a fire arose in her heart.

She strode forward, stopped in front of Zheng Xuening, and suddenly spoke angrily, her voice a little distorted.

“I want to know, why won’t you let me cultivate? How do you know my character is not good?”

Lu Rushuang could cultivate, Lu Ran and Lu Yu could cultivate, and even that cousin Lu Dieqing could also cultivate.

Why was it that only she couldn’t!

And… and in the formation, she had clearly seen her own incomparably splendid life. In there, when the person in front of her looked at her, their eyes were full of gentleness.

How was it that after she had woken up, it had all turned into an illusion?

Lu Ruyi was so unwilling in her heart.

Zheng Xuening’s fingertips gently tapped the tabletop. Faced with the other’s intense emotions, her tone was so bland it was almost tasteless.

“One, the illusion formation was set up to test one’s character. The formation does not deceive people.”

“Two, what your character is like, you should know yourself, especially when compared with others.”

Before deciding not to let Lu Ruyi continue to cultivate, she had also gotten a life investigation of the other from the secret guards.

In conclusion, although Lu Ruyi was not a dandy who bullied men and women, her character was not good either, at least not pure and kind.

Here, Zheng Xuening had to admit that she had some selfish thoughts.

She did indeed hope that there were more people in this world who could cultivate, so as to prepare for facing the people from outside the domain in the future.

But there were so many people who could cultivate. Why did she have to choose a person who was naturally hostile to her little rabbit?

If Lu Ruyi’s hostility was aimed at herself, Zheng Xuening would have had nothing to say, and would not even have taken it to heart.

Because she was strong enough, and cold enough, and did not care what others thought of her.

But a dragon also has a reverse scale that cannot be touched.

When it came to Lu Dieqing, Zheng Xuening very frankly admitted that she was a person who would protect her cub to the end.

In any aspect, Lu Ruyi’s past dozen or so years had been much smoother and happier than her little rabbit’s.

However, when her Qingqing had returned to the Shan Kingdom with her, the greatest emotion Lu Ruyi had shown was hostility and jealousy.

Zheng Xuening even felt that this was very ridiculous.

A person who, towards her own relatives, did not even have the basic pity and understanding, and only cared about the superficial glamour and power.

How could one expect such a person to be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of saving a country, or even the entire world, in the future?

There was another point that Zheng Xuening had not mentioned.

When Lu Ruyi had come out of the illusion formation yesterday, the look in her eyes as she looked at her was really not normal.

She could even feel that the other had a faint killing intent towards Qingqing.

This was the fundamental reason why she had ultimately eliminated the other from the cultivation team.

Everything that had happened in the illusion formation was an extension of the person’s original character.

There was no point in saying these things.

Zheng Xuening got up, her face calm.

“If you have nothing else, Princess, I will be leaving.”

Lu Ruyi was both angry and anxious. Seeing her turn to leave, she couldn’t help but quickly follow and try to grab her sleeve.

“Why don’t you look at me with the eyes you had in the illusion?”

Clearly, in the illusion, what had happened was not like this.

Clearly, she was the one who should have been by Zheng Xuening’s side, and been treated gently.

But how was it that the moment she opened her eyes, she saw Zheng Xuening and Lu Dieqing get married?

Zheng Xuening gently dodged, and with a slight movement, Lu Ruyi grabbed at empty air.

“The princess should go and see an imperial physician and nourish her heart.”

She said coldly, really unable to understand why this girl, whom she had only met a few times, was like this.

She was in a hurry to see Lu Dieqing. After leaving the teahouse, Zheng Xuening used a bit of lightness skill, and her whole person quickly disappeared down the street.

Lu Ruyi chased after her and looked around, but she could not see any trace of her.

The guards and serving ladies by her side, seeing the bloodshot veins in her eyes and her body trembling with anger, comforted her in a small voice.

“Princess, let’s go back. Her Highness the Princess has been looking for you for a long time.”

Lu Ruyi turned her head to look at them coldly, suddenly drew their swords, and stabbed them.

“So loyal. Why didn’t you help me stop her just now!”

The guard was stabbed right in the arm, and blood immediately began to flow, but he did not dare to dodge at all, and just lowered his head to explain.

“That person’s kung fu is profound, and she is an immortal. This subordinate could not catch up…”

And besides, who would dare to stop her?

Everyone knew that they had to be respectful to the heir of the Chaoying Kingdom just now, and the newly returned Princess Lu Dieqing, but only their own little master was… like this, going against them.

Lu Ruyi gritted her teeth and threw away the sword in her hand.

“You couldn’t stop her? It was that you didn’t put your mind to it.”

“Get lost! Useless!”

After saying this, she snatched the horse of the guard at her side and galloped towards the place where Lu Dieqing was now living.

“Princess! Princess!” The guard who had been kicked stood up with the help of a serving lady and hurriedly chased after her.

“Where is the princess going?” That direction was not back to the residence at all. The serving lady was anxious.

The guard was silent for a moment. “Hurry up and find the Second Princess and report this.”

He was afraid that their princess, having failed to win her love, had developed a grudge and was going to find trouble with the newly returned little princess.

How could this be? It would cause a great chaos!
