I just want to be a princess, no, you want to be a queen

Chapter 154 Asking Frankly

He was kneeling, palm-high, with two thorns on his back.

The key point is that the doll's face looks very much like Chu Mingzheng, with a pitiful look on his face as if he is admitting his mistake.

"What?" Lu Mingyang tried to suppress his laughter.

Chu Mingzheng pointed at the puppet's head and said, "Hit it!"

"Don't dare!"

"beat!"

Lu Mingyang slapped it. With a click, the puppet's waist bent down and its head knocked against Chu Mingzheng's palm, turning into a standard kowtow.

"what!"

Lu Mingyang picked it up and fiddled with it in amazement. He didn't expect that such a small puppet had a mechanism. It would kowtow every time it was hit, and every time it was hit, it would kowtow.

After being hit five or six times, the little girl finally smiled.

Chu Mingzheng said, "I carved it all night. This kind of thing with a mechanism is particularly difficult to make."

Why would he carve something like this for himself? Lu Mingyang secretly raised his eyes and suddenly blushed.

"Let me see your face!" Chu Mingzheng raised his hand to touch it.

"Why don't you just ask me?" Lu Mingyang dodged. Actually, the two slaps weren't that heavy, and the swelling went down in less than half a day. She just felt uncomfortable thinking about it.

"I'm afraid you'll hit me again."

Their eyes met and they both smiled.

Chu Mingzheng continued, "Don't be angry anymore, okay?"

This was the first time they rode in the same carriage. She sat in the main seat, while he sat on the ground, looking up at her. Lu Mingyang sat up straight, feeling extremely happy. The only drawback was that they were sitting, not kneeling.

It was hard to believe that a prince like him would actually kneel down before him. It was not easy for him to do this. Lu Mingyang said magnanimously, "Get up!"

After the words came out, both of them were stunned.

"Thank you, Princess!"

Chu Mingzheng checked his posture and reached out to hold the girl's hand. Lu Mingyang dodged, chuckled twice, and turned back to play with the puppet.

If he wants me to forgive him, that’s fine, because I’m a magnanimous person. But if he wants me to touch him again, that’s impossible.

Chu Mingzheng withdrew his hand in disappointment, stood up and sat aside, watching the little girl beating "himself" in frustration.

"Hey, don't let anyone see this!" Seeing the little girl ignoring him, Chu Mingzheng shouted, "Did you hear me?"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Lu Mingyang smiled slightly, his face extremely respectful, but his hand was slapping the puppet's little head, and slapped it again.

Let you be cruel to me!

Chu Mingzheng turned his eyes away, his head buzzing with pain. He felt that he was possessed by evil spirits. He could not bear the carving of such things, but seeing the little girl looking so happy, he endured it.

On the city wall, Song Wei looked at the approaching carriage with a sharp look in his eyes.

He still couldn't understand why Yang'er betrayed him and chose King Ningyuan.

Is it just because he can survive?

His status is more valuable than mine?

But those are no longer important now. He will let her know how stupid her original choice was.

The carriage slowly drove into the city. Song Wei turned around and walked down the city wall and stopped the carriage from Ningyuan Prince's Palace.

Chu Mingzheng lifted the curtain and looked over. "Song Shaobao, what's going on?"

Song Wei bowed and said calmly, "The Crown Prince of Jin is coming to the capital today. His Majesty sent someone to summon Your Highness to the palace during the morning court session. Why is Your Highness still here?"

Lu Mingyang watched the two talking and couldn't help but think wildly: So, he came to pick me up specially because Princess Jin was coming to Beijing?

"Who are you looking at?"

When Chu Mingzheng lowered the curtain of the car, he saw his princess staring blankly in the eyes and asked dissatisfiedly.

Lu Mingyang asked, "Your Highness, why is he here?"

For so many days, Song Wei seemed to have disappeared from her life. He didn't question herself or make things difficult for herself, which made her feel an inexplicable fear.

"Seeing that he is wearing court robes, he should be in charge of welcoming the Prince of Jin to the capital."

When the jealousy faded, Chu Mingzheng saw the panic in her eyes. He held her hand tightly and promised, "If anyone intimidates or threatens you in the future, tell me that we are husband and wife, and I will never divorce you."

The voice was too gentle, as if it was telling her something through her heart. Lu Mingyang responded in a panic, stopped the carriage, and urged him to enter the palace.

"It would be bad if His Majesty thought you were unhappy!"

"Do you know why His Majesty summoned me to the palace?"

"Didn't I want you to be in charge of the coronation ceremony for the Prince of Jin?" Lu Mingyang looked at Chu Mingzheng staring at him intently, his heart beating, "Am I wrong?"

"No!" Chu Mingzheng smiled. He just didn't expect his princess to be so smart, even smarter than he imagined. He reminded her, "If I try too hard, he will feel even more uncomfortable."

If he works too hard, the emperor will think that he is only interested in the throne.

"Is he really tired?"

Lu Mingyang had already stood up, half-bent at the waist, not knowing whether to step forward or retract his legs. He grumbled in disdain and asked, "So, should I get off?"

"How are you going back?" Chu Mingzheng asked.

"Nian'er's carriage is in the back. I'll wait for her for a while." This guy just now dragged himself into the carriage without waiting for Nian'er to finish packing her things.

"Then you go down!"

What kind of attitude is this? Not even a word of concern. Lu Mingyang got off the carriage unhappily, and suddenly his wrist tightened.

Chu Mingzheng took the angry little girl into his arms and suddenly felt a little nervous: "The news from Prince Jin's Mansion will arrive the day after tomorrow. I didn't expect it to be so soon. Don't play around, go back and rest early. There will be a banquet in the palace tonight, remember to change into nice clothes."

Lu Mingyang suppressed his lip and pouted: "If you think I'm ugly, don't take me with you!"

"You're my princess. If I don't take you with me, who should I take?" Chu Mingzheng pinched the little girl's face and warned her seriously, "Don't let your imagination run wild anymore. Hey, when did I ever say you were ugly?"

"I see!"

Seeing someone's eyes getting bigger and bigger, Lu Mingyang hurriedly pushed him away and got off the carriage. As the carriage slowly drove away, she suddenly realized a serious problem and stamped her feet in anger.

Who asked him to hold his own!

"See? If anything goes wrong, he'll abandon you."

A sudden voice came, Lu Mingyang turned around and saw Song Wei with a gloomy face.

She really didn't know where he came to this conclusion, but she didn't bother to argue with him, so she just said calmly, "Congratulations, Mr. Song... on getting married."

"He's not your beloved, so why congratulate him?"

Song Wei stared at the girl in front of him and suddenly smiled: "I heard that he left on the day you moved into the palace?"

"Mr. Song, do you really like to pry into other people's boudoirs?"

There really was a spy in the mansion. It was really hard for him to chase him all this way just to make fun of him. Lu Mingyang sneered and turned around, planning to find a crowded place to wait for someone.

Song Wei quickly stepped forward, blocking her way, and said angrily: "He doesn't like you at all. He married you just to use you!"

"So what!" Lu Mingyang raised his head and asked softly, "Brother Yuanrui, didn't you take advantage of me?"
