Rebirth: The paranoid war king was controlled by the crazy female protagonist

"What is this?" Qing Yu turned to him and asked the question first.

She seemed to be able to sense from the atmosphere and everyone's eyes the purpose of Hua Niang's coming here.

"Your Highness, you are not going to sell me to a brothel, are you?" She opened her eyes slightly wide, and her innocent expression was unbearable to look at.

Xiao Yanqing curled his lips and jokingly said, "Is it too late to be afraid now?"

She lowered her eyes and pursed her lips, "Scared, disgusted."

"Disgusting?" She meant...

“That feeling is disgusting.”

Suddenly, he understood what she was referring to. He thought she didn't care, but it turned out she was still afraid.

But she suddenly looked at him again, and after careful consideration, she said softly, "If it's a handsome and courageous man like Your Highness, I wouldn't mind giving it a try."

Instantly, the room fell into an awkward and tense silence. Except for him, everyone's hearts were in a knot, as if they would be faced with his thunderous wrath in the next second.

She actually dared to tease His Royal Highness! How audacious!

But Xiao Yanqing saw that she looked serious and it didn't seem like she was joking. Instead, she was thinking carefully about the answer she gave.

He coughed lightly, "Random thoughts."

Only then did she calm down from her slightly depressed mood, "Hmm? Isn't it time to..."

"Starting tomorrow, Hua Niang will teach you for two months." He interrupted mercilessly, really afraid that she would say something else.

"Training? What are you learning?" she was puzzled.

Also, why two months?

“There’s so much you need to learn, you just have to do it.”

"Yes, Your Highness." She nodded. She didn't mind, she was just curious.

"We will set out early tomorrow morning. Hua Niang, you go down first."

"It's Your Highness."

Seeing Hua Niang leave, Qing Yu hurriedly asked, "Your Highness wants me to stay in Huanxiang Pavilion for two months?"

"unwilling?"

"I like it here, and His Highness promised to teach me."

For her, the house where she had only stayed for a few months felt more secure than the home where she had lived for more than 20 years.

He was stunned. She likes it here?

"In that case, I will have someone pick you up every three or four days to practice swordsmanship again."

He kind of agreed, after all, she also needed to improve her strength.

"Okay." Qing Yu agreed readily.

"Remember, don't let anyone know your identity, otherwise I will make you live a life worse than death." He stared at her with a cold gaze.

Qing Yu smiled, not caring about his threats at all, "Okay, Your Highness."

What concerned her was the two months Xiao Yanqing mentioned. Was there an important day two months later, or did it mean that the time had come to counterattack Jiang Zhuo?

Since he can leave the house and is in Huanxiang Pavilion, he should be able to get some news.

……

Early in the morning, Qing Yu had just finished packing when Xiao Yanqing called her over and handed her a dagger placed on the table.

"Your Highness, what is this?" She couldn't wait to take it in her hand and check it out.

The scabbard is made of copper and leather, decorated with simple copper patterns. The hilt is connected to the sword body, seemingly for comfort and to reduce friction. It can be seen that it was carefully carved by the sword-making master.

The dagger was drawn out, the sound of it coming out of the sheath, and the sword blade reflecting the light spots.

Although she didn't know much about weapons, she could tell that this sword was different from the swords used in the army. Although it was simple, it was a special weapon of the royal family after all, and could be called an excellent and sharp sword.

"I don't want you to use it, but just in case. It won't do me any good if you die."

"But I have to remind you again, don't try to play tricks, otherwise..."

Having said this, he noticed that her star-like gaze was completely attracted by the dagger, and she was excited and fond of it.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

He sighed deeply, "What I said, have you ever..."

"Yes, Your Highness. I will obey you obediently." She agreed hastily, holding the dagger tightly in her hand, as if not giving him the chance to regret it.

"I'm leaving, Your Highness. I'll wait for you to pick me up."

Her expectant eyes, filled with mysterious light and shadow, attracted him uncontrollably.

"it is good."

Only after he agreed did Qing Yu leave happily.

For some reason, he was always inexplicably led by her, and he even began to hope that they could really stand in the same line.

He calmed himself down, perhaps because he had been with her for too long, he also became strange.

……

Qing Yu and Hua Niang were sitting in the carriage. Although it was only the morning hour, the busy streets were already crowded with people and cars. The aroma of freshly baked breakfast wafted in the air, followed by the sounds of hawking.

Qing Yu looked out from the curtain of the sedan chair with joy, thinking that it would be great if one day she could come here freely and stroll around.

Unfortunately, that time has not come yet. The most important thing is that she must take the opportunity to understand the current situation and seize the initiative.

After a while, the carriage arrived at the backyard of Huanxiang Pavilion, and Qing Yu lifted her skirt and took the bag she was carrying.

Qian Yun leaned forward again and said, "Miss Qingyu, please remember what His Highness has told you."

She nodded in agreement, and after Qianyun said goodbye, she looked at the moving carriage.

"Please follow me, young lady." Hua Niang gestured.

She followed Hua Niang into the Huanxiang Pavilion.

The Huanxiang Pavilion in the early morning was not as lively as last time. The sounds of girls washing, practicing, and talking could be faintly heard from inside the house.

Girls in plain dresses with chest-covering tutus shuttled through the corridors of the houses, their bustling footsteps accompanied by greetings to those around them.

"Flower girl."

"Good morning, Miss Hua."

The girl who saw them glanced at Qing Yu's face vaguely, but then immediately bowed respectfully, while Hua Niang just nodded.

Qing Yu guessed that Hua Niang's position here could not be underestimated.

Hua Niang took her through the house where the girls lived. The whole building was magnificent. The two visits she had made were just the tip of the iceberg. The building was given a variety of colors, brown, red, yellow, and blue, which combined made it look more vivid.

Along the way, you can see the pond under the building, with some green plants floating on it and red carp swimming around. Going to the innermost part, Hua Niang pushed open a door. It was a simple house with nothing in it except a bed, a wardrobe, and a small table.

"This is where the young lady lives." Hua Niang pointed here.

"There are clothes prepared inside. Come over after you change." After giving the instructions, Hua Niang went out.

"it is good."

She was puzzled. She had to change clothes. Could it be...

She opened her wardrobe and put on the simple, clear dress that was designed just enough to allow her limbs to be clearly seen from the outside.

After a while, she came to the place Hua Niang mentioned. The house was relatively spacious. Just as she was thinking about what Hua Niang was going to teach her, Hua Niang spoke.

"My dear, although His Highness has already reminded you, I want to repeat it again. You are a smart person and should understand that we are now in the same boat." Hua Niang spoke slowly, her tone polite but commanding.

"I understand. You can just call me Qingyu."

"Good Miss Qingyu, I will train you as ordered. Just do as I say. It's best not to have any bad thoughts. Although the guards here are not as good as those in Prince Xiao's Mansion, they are also heavily guarded. I don't like to use violence, but I have ways to deal with disobedient girls."

"So please keep this in mind, Miss Qingyu."

"Okay." She responded again after hearing Hua Niang's words, and couldn't help but look her up and down. Although she was a prostitute, she still had an elegant and powerful aura, and it seemed that she was someone who had experienced ups and downs.

"Very good, let's start." As soon as Hua Niang finished speaking, she looked around her carefully.

"Well, fortunately, she has a beautiful face. Although she is a little thin, she is still graceful and charming." Hua Niang couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, she has a good foundation, otherwise, she would have to admit defeat.

"Have you ever learned poetry, vocal music, or dance?"

"Well... the only things I've learned are poetry and prose." She answered truthfully.

"Okay." Hua Niang sighed deeply. It seemed that these two months were going to be quite long.

"This is what you need to master in two months."

"Proficient?" Qing Yu was stunned.

Isn't this just training her to be a prostitute? Is it related to Xiao Yanqing's plan?

"Right, so you don't have much time to rest."

Hua Niang's repeated warnings also made her mentally prepared. She began to accept and practice bit by bit, starting from the initial posture, to dance steps, and flexibility.
