Chapter 3: Liuxian Skirt
[No, that's not right. The soul is indeed Shen Tingyu. I didn't bind it to the wrong host~]
[Hello, host... you... weren't you supposed to be resurrected in the corpse I prepared? How could this happen?]
"I want to know why too!"
Shen Tingyu's joyful little flame was extinguished. It turned out that her appearance in this puppet body was really an accident. "Xiao Qi, it's not too late now. Please help me put my soul back into the body."
"The rag doll's body caught fire at once. I almost died just now."
[Host, I'm sorry. Xiao Qi didn't do his job well. Now... now it's too late. Xiao Qi has no energy left and can't be replaced for the time being.]
[Only after the host completes the mission can they be resurrected and given a human body.]
[Host, don't be angry. I've already reported this anomaly to the higher-level system. The main system will compensate you. Hmm, host, don't be angry with Xiaoqi!]
Shen Tingyu was indeed not angry, she was only desperate. With such a doll-like body, what mission could she accomplish?
That's it!
Shen Tingyu collapsed. She didn't want to do the task anymore. Just let her die.
【Host, you should still be angry.】
[Host, don't be discouraged. Completing tasks will earn you points. In the points mall, there are props that can transform you into a human.]
"Really?" Shen Tingyu asked, "What task do you need me to complete?"
Xiao Qi is a system for cultivating wise rulers. His mission is to help the protagonist of this dimension, Xin Hongying, become a good emperor. The host has done a great job during this time without Xiao Qi's company.
Shen Tingyu frowned. "Isn't the protagonist of Spring Palace Secret the eleventh prince Xin Mingzhe? How could it be Xin Hongying? Xin Hongying looks like a villain, not a protagonist at all."
"System, are you sure?"
[No mistake, the Son of Luck, also known as the protagonist, was told to Xiao Qi by the Heavenly Dao of the small world that entrusted him. The protagonist is indeed Xin Hongying.]
[The host misunderstood him as a villain because his luck was maliciously plundered, which turned him into a villain.]
[That's why this world needs you, an excellent host, to set things right.]
Shen Tingyu: “Don’t flatter me.”
She recalled the plot of "Secrets of the Spring Palace". Now the story has almost unfolded. Concubine Yu and the Eleventh Prince have been hooking up with each other. They haven't seen each other for a long time. The two of them are in the prison cell of the Dali Temple and are in a passionate relationship.
The author spent several chapters specifically describing the period when Concubine Yu was imprisoned because of the voodoo doll. The writing is extremely erotic and gives readers a great pleasure.
Before this, she was also one of the members of Aowao.
Xin Hongying is brutal and murderous, and is going further and further down the path of a tyrant. It is extremely difficult to change an adult king who is sensitive, suspicious and violent.
Shen Tingyu sighed quietly, squatted in the corner and drew circles: "It's difficult! It's harder than climbing to the sky!"
Her collar was pulled up, and her body suddenly flew into the air, and she was placed on a pair of large, bony hands.
"What are you whispering about?"
After being caught, Shen Tingyu shook his head and said, “Nothing?”
Gao Tang came forward with a box in his hand, Shen Tingyu smiled and pretended to be dead, Xin Hongying frowned, a little unhappy.
"Your Majesty, the Regent is requesting an audience outside the palace," Gao Tang reported.
"Father, he must be here for Concubine Yu. Just tell him that I am not feeling well and cannot see him. Let him go back." Xin Hongying's eyes flashed and he said coldly.
Listening to their conversation, Shen Tingyu was a little confused. In the novel, Xin Hongying had always admired the Regent and doted on Concubine Yu, but from his tone just now, it seemed that he didn't like the Regent very much.
Xin Hongying opened the box with great interest, "Come, try on your new clothes."
He took out a deep blue dress with his left hand and a light yellow Liuxian dress with his right hand: "Fairy, choose one."
Both pieces looked great. Shen Tingyu hesitated for a moment and finally picked a deep blue one. However, Xin Hongying handed her a light yellow one. She raised her eyes and glared at him, about to get angry: "You..."
Xin Hongying's eyes were filled with a smile, and she deliberately asked, "What?"
People have to bow their heads under the eaves, she endured it!
"You...are really good at choosing. This is the color I like, hehe~" She turned around and rolled her eyes in her heart, feeling angry. She decided not to complete the task.
Seeing him still standing there, drinking tea happily, she became even angrier.
"Your Majesty, how can I change my clothes if you don't go out?"
"This is my bedroom." He slowly scraped the foam off the tea, took a sip, and couldn't help but tease her, "Besides, you're just a puppet now. Do you think I would still be attracted to you?"
Shen Tingyu didn't care, she pushed his arm and motioned him to go out, and when she saw that he didn't move, she took her clothes and found a place to change.
He reached out and took the puppet that was jumping under the table. "Why are you in such a hurry? I'll just leave."
When leaving, take the burning candlestick with you.
After confirming that he had really left, Shen Tingyu fiddled with it for a while, and put on the goose yellow Liuxian skirt unskillfully, and found the bronze mirror with her calves thumping.
The puppet in the bronze mirror is so small, but it actually has hair, which is tied in a high bun. It looks like a human being, just like an ordinary puppet.
Shen Tingyu was quite satisfied. She also found that her skills had become more flexible, and her ability to run and climb was not weak at all, as easy and simple as breathing.
[Host, it’s because Xiao Qi helped you strengthen your body.]
"Good job, Xiaoqi."
The sun was dim outside the window, and the huge hall was empty except for a large figure. When Shen Tingyu found Xin Hongying, he was sitting upright playing chess alone, his handsome face hidden in the light and shadow.
She fiddled with the chessboard and accidentally saw the black and white pieces fighting on the board. The black pieces pressed forward step by step, while the white pieces defended cautiously, and the two were evenly matched.
It turns out that one person played two different chess moves, which shows his superb chess skills.
Shen Tingyu coughed lightly, “Your Majesty is carrying dragon energy, I… cough… This fairy wants to quickly recover her magic power, so she needs to stay by your Majesty’s side and practice with the help of dragon energy.”
"Although my magical power is weak now, His Majesty, who is staying in the palace to protect me, still has some ability."
"Protect me?!" Xin Hongying's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and the hand holding the chess piece stopped in mid-air.
This was the first time he heard someone say he wanted to protect him, and that person was just a rag doll who couldn't take care of himself.
You really overestimate your own abilities!
"Don't look down on me, I'm a very capable person. I know a lot about astronomy and geography, and I'm quite capable." Shen Tingyu was a little anxious, and she supported herself on the chessboard with both hands. "As long as Your Majesty keeps me by your side, I'm happy to be your Imperial Preceptor."
This was the only way she came up with after careful consideration to complete the task assigned by the system in an upright manner.
