After rebirth, I cried and criticized the prince

Gu Shicheng and Zhufeng were in his study.

Gu Shicheng sat on an armchair, and Zhufeng ground ink for him. "Your Highness, are you not returning to your room tonight?"

"No."

Zhufeng didn't ask too much. He knew that the prince always had his own reasons for doing things and didn't like people to ask too many questions.

He watched Gu Shicheng write something, and became more and more annoyed as he wrote. He crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it away.

He leaned back on the chair with his forehead in his hand and said, "You go out first. I want to be alone for a while."

After Zhufeng left, Gu Shicheng was the only one left in the study, and his breathing was particularly heavy.

He put his hands on the table and tapped his fingers on it, making bursts of sounds that gradually became slow.

His eyes were fixed on a certain spot, empty and vacant, like a black vortex that sucked people deeply into them. A ripple appeared at the corner of his mouth as he said coldly, "Helan, I want to see what tricks you have up your sleeve."

In the south courtyard of the Helan Mansion, Helan Xuenuo was playing with the bow given to her by Yuan Xu. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it.

Xiao Zhu saw the bow in her hand and said in surprise, "Girl, why does this bow look so familiar? It's exactly the same as the one I had in the Niu Market."

"That's the one Yuan Xu gave me."

Xiao Zhu smiled maliciously and moved closer to Helan Xuenuo. "Miss, Young Master Yuan seems to be pleasing to the eye and is very considerate. I heard from the shopkeeper that this bow took a lot of effort to make. Young Master Yuan must be interested in you."

Xiao Zhu's words woke her up. After thinking about it carefully, she wondered how Yuan Xu could like her. Not to mention that in her previous life, she had slandered Yuan Xu in every possible way, causing him to lose face, it was impossible for Yuan Xu to like her. No matter how it looked in this life, it was unlikely.

She shook her head and said, "Do you still remember the female shopkeeper at the bull market?"

"remember."

"Her name is Yaniang."

"Yaniang? She's very beautiful."

"Yes, she is indeed beautiful. Yaniang followed Yuanxu all the way to the capital. She must be Yuanxu's sweetheart."

"what?"

Xiao Zhu opened her mouth wide, with displeasure in her eyes. "She doesn't like me? How dare he not like me? Never mind. I suddenly feel that Master Yuan isn't that great. A girl as gorgeous as you deserves the best man."

"What kind of gentleman does the girl like?"

If you ask her who she likes, the one that came to her mind before was Gu Shicheng, but now that figure has merged into that of the Crown Prince, and suddenly dispersed. It seems that she doesn't love anyone.

Helan Xuenuo was frightened by her gaze and glanced at her sideways, "It seems that you are too idle. I have to take you to the training ground tomorrow and let Mu Kong give you a good training."

Xiao Zhu muttered, "Good girl, you're teasing me. But...will you really take me to the training ground tomorrow? Let General Mu Kong teach me some more Kung Fu, so that I can protect you well in the future."

Helan Xuenuo saw Xiaozhu's face was slightly red. She knew very well what this girl was thinking, but she never knew it in her previous life. Now she felt that she didn't care enough about Xiaozhu.

These days, she hadn't paid attention to the martial arts training ground. Thinking about it, she realized that she hadn't seen Mu Kong for many days. She thought that Mu Kong was a handsome man and an important major general in Helan Mansion. Her father had praised him several times. Such a person was indeed a good match for Xiao Zhu and would be a good destination for him.

The next day, Helan Xuenuo brought Xiaozhu to the training ground. Xiaozhu ran around happily, but when they arrived at the martial arts training ground, Xiaozhu hesitated, stopped and hesitated.

Helan Xuenuo nudged her shoulder with his, "What's troubling you, little girl who's so fearless?"

Xiao Zhu muttered, "Mu Kong is cold and ruthless. Now is not the time for everyone in the mansion to train. He definitely doesn't want to play with me."

Helan Xuenuo folded her hands and coughed, pretending to be embarrassed, "Then... then I can only sacrifice my dignity and beg General Mu Kong on your behalf, but what can you do to repay me?"

"Would you mind giving me your body, young lady?"

Helan Xuenuo lifted Xiaozhu's cheek with her fingers and took a look. "This little girl is pretty. I'll take her."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

"I'll go talk to Mu Kong." Helan Xuenuo put down her hand and walked towards the direction of Mu Kong's martial arts training ground.

Mu Kong was practicing in the martial arts training ground. He caught a glimpse of a figure with a fluttering skirt out of the corner of his eye. He glanced sideways and saw Helan Xuenuo walking towards him. He looked puzzled, and Helan Xuenuo grinned at him.

Two blushes appeared on his dark face, and he calmly turned around to continue training.

"Mu Kong." Helan Xuenuo's voice came.

"Miss, what's the matter?" Mu Kong looked very reserved. Although he was young, he didn't look like his age. His face had the traces of weathering, and his cheeks were a little chapped.

Helan Xuenuo came forward to take a look. In her eyes, Mu Kong looked like a child. He was the same age as Xiaozhu and two years younger than Helan Xuenuo. She actually felt a little sorry for him.

"Mu Kong, your face is all chapped. The battle at Nanguan must have been very windy and sandy at the border. Is it from the sun?"

Mu Kong was still very reserved. He reached out and touched his face, which also felt very rough. He then looked at Helan Xuenuo, whose skin was white, tender and smooth, like a snowball.

Helan Xuenuo's brows relaxed, and she smiled and said, "Tomorrow I'll ask Xiaozhu to bring some soothing cream. You can apply it for a few days and it will help."

"Mu Kong, can you help me?"

Mu Kong nodded.

Helan Xuenuo began to find Mu Kong boring, and she didn't know why Xiaozhu liked a man like Mu Kong, who was boring and distant.

But who can really explain why she likes this kind of thing? Just like in her previous life, she had shamelessly loved Gu Shicheng, but Gu Shicheng had hurt her completely.

"Xiao Zhu has been following me around since she was little. I want you to train her and teach her some practical skills so she can protect herself and me in the future."

Mu Kong glanced at Xiao Zhu behind Helan Xuenuo. Xiao Zhu was grinning and waving at him.

Seeing that Mu Kong didn't reply, Helan Xuenuo smiled and said, "Are you agreeing?" Without waiting for Mu Kong to speak, she turned around and waved to Xiao Zhu with a mischievous expression.

Xiaozhu ran over with a smile.

Helan Xuenuo pushed Xiaozhu in front of her and said, "I'll leave it to you, Mu Kong."

She ran away.

Mu Kong was helpless, and he didn't want to refuse.

Xiao Zhu grinned, with the corners of his mouth raised, looking at Mu Kong with smiling eyes, laughing foolishly.

Mu Kong's face showed a hint of displeasure. He turned his back and said, "Have you thought about training with me in the future? The training before was just a small fight. To learn real skills, you need to pay a price. It's not like in the boudoir. In the martial arts training ground, there is no distinction between men and women. Have you thought about what you will experience in the future?"

While talking.

Not far away, a man grabbed another person and threw him out. The soldiers watching nearby cheered, and the scene became lively.

Xiao Zhu swallowed and nodded firmly, "I've thought it through."

"Go change your clothes." Mu Kong signaled to the soldier beside him, and the soldier led Xiao Zhu into a tent.

"Brother Bing, whose tent is this?"

"Of course it belongs to Major General Mu."

Xiao Zhu looked around the tent. Inside Mu Kong's tent, there was only a camp bed, not even a table. A simple blanket lay on the floor. It looked more like a rag than a blanket.

She didn't stop looking until the soldier took a piece of clothing and stuffed it into her hands.

The soldier complained, "A nice girl always messes with men."

"What did you say?" Xiao Zhu backed him up and glared at the soldier.

“No…no…hehe…” The soldier smiled awkwardly and slipped out.

When Xiaozhu came out, he was wearing training gear and knee pads on his elbows and knees.

Xiao Zhu moved around. She has never been a quiet girl. She was born active and didn't like being quiet.

A creepy smile appeared on Mu Kong's face.

Xiao Zhu was shivering.

Before long, the martial arts training ground was filled with Xiao Zhu's cries of pain. Mu Kong showed no mercy to her. Xiao Zhu was thrown to the ground by him, and she looked up and spat on the dust.

I just fell to the ground and got a mouthful of sand.

"Give up?" Mu Kong squatted in front of her with a provocative look.

Xiaozhu propped himself up and stood up.

"impossible."

She rushed towards Mu Kong, but was thrown to the ground again with an over-the-shoulder throw.

Mu Kong stood there without any mercy, gesturing with his hand for more.
