OMG! Tyrant's Pampered Baby Is a Valued Princess-Chapter 764: Too Heavy-Handed, Left My Left Eye Bruised
If the Princess’s words of gold and jade made them feel at ease,
then, the words of Marquis Wan Feng Fuce felt much more like a stabilizing pill.
Throughout the court, who besides the Emperor and the Princess could truly handle Marquis Wan?
With his protection, they naturally wouldn’t fear being bullied.
The group of scholars exchanged glances, then nodded firmly.
"Alright! Tomorrow, we’ll present our household registration to enroll. Thank you, Princess and Marquis, for your grace!"
The household registration is akin to a proof of domicile.
Once registered, their identity would no longer be that of commoners, but instead, disciples of Fengchao Mansion.
Bai Zhi’er was delighted and smiled sweetly, "Alright!"
Once the mansion welcomes its first batch of students, soon more people will come attracted by its reputation.
That night, the little one slept exceptionally well.
She even had a dream where the two stone lions at the mansion’s entrance were weeping at her feet.
"He hit me too hard, my left eye is bruised. If he keeps hitting me every day, how can I guard the house for the master?"
The other stone lion had its paws over its ears.
It whimpered, complaining, "There’s also someone who surely must have been a nagging ghost in a past life, chattering constantly, spraying saliva all over my head."
"It harms my dignity, passing ghosts see and laugh at me, making it harder for me to ward off evil for the master."
Bai Zhi’er hugged each on both sides, comforting them all night.
The next day, she instructed the stone lions to be carefully cleaned again.
Moreover, following her reminders, Uncle Chen, the housekeeper of the mansion, indeed discovered that one of the stone lion’s left eye stones was cracked, showing a fissure.
Bai Zhi’er guessed it might have been kicked by Feng Fuce.
After Uncle Chen had someone patch it up with stone clay, that night Bai Zhi’er dreamed of the two stone lions again.
This time they weren’t crying but instead, they happily rolled the floral ball at her feet.
...
In the immortal palace,
A ruo brought a bucket of Galaxy Water to water the Xiangsi Tree.
"Whew, finally finished watering." She wiped the sweat from her forehead and straightened her aching back.
A ruo patted the trunk of the Xiangsi Tree, smiling happily, "Only by taking good care of you can His Majesty smile a little every day."
Lately, she noticed that the Heavenly Daoist carried a heavy heart, speaking less than ever.
Only when standing underneath the Xiangsi Tree, looking up at the countless leaves of longing, would a faint comforting smile occasionally appear.
But most of the time, the Heavenly Daoist remained very silent.
A ruo knew the condition of the Heavenly Daoist’s health was worrisome.
Unfortunately, she was merely a stone enlightened, unable to offer much help, only able to take good care of the Xiangsi Tree.
A ruo, lost in thoughts, couldn’t help but feel a touch of worry reflected in her gaze.
"Xiangsi Tree, you’re becoming more spiritually energized, please bless His Majesty with better days ahead."
A ruo clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and spoke with devotion.
At that moment, she heard a gentle call from behind, "Little Immortal Shitou."
Hearing the familiar voice, A ruo turned joyfully, "Immortal Lord Lu Wang!"
She hurriedly lifted her skirt and ran over.
Lu Wang’s tall figure walked through the Immortal Bridge suspended in the air.
A ruo ran up the glittering bridge, crystal-like as glass, "It’s been so long since we met, you’re back too? How are the Marquis and the Princess doing?"
Lu Wang’s gaze was as dark as ever.
He originally thought he wouldn’t know how to begin upon seeing A ruo.
But unexpectedly, she bombarded him with so many questions the moment they met, making his prior worries seem unnecessary.
Lu Wang smiled faintly, "The Marquis and the Princess are both well."
