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

"I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon." She came to Fang Ruo.

Fang Ruo, who was waiting, saw her and immediately bowed and saluted, "Princess..."

Before she even bent down, she had already helped Fang Ru up, "You're welcome."

Fang Ruo was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, "I came here to thank the princess for helping me out of trouble yesterday. I hope I didn't disturb the princess."

Only then did she notice that the maid behind Fang Ruo was holding a gift in her hand.

"Thank you?" She tilted her head slightly. "I said it was a reward. After all, you still have to bear the consequences yourself."

Consequences? Fang Ruo's nerves tensed instantly. Did the princess guess what would happen to her?

Her eyes moved to Fang Ruo's legs, and Fang Ruo subconsciously took a half step back out of nervousness.

"I guess she shouldn't have been punished." She felt strange. Would Zheng Linhan let Fang Ruo go so easily?

"Come in and sit down."

Seeing that she invited Fang Ruo, he did not follow immediately, but asked solemnly: "Can I come in?"

"of course."

"Please." She extended her hand.

"Thank you, Princess." Only after getting her permission did Fang Ruo step in.

The two sat down in the house, and the maid made tea and placed cakes on the table.

Fang Ruo looked at the furnishings in her bedroom, which were gorgeous yet unique. Finally, her eyes stopped at an item that had not yet been placed aside. It must be a gift from His Majesty.

Thinking of this, Fang Ruo quickly asked the maid to deliver the gift he had prepared.

"My lord, this is my thank you gift to you. However, my bedroom is simple and I don't have anything to offer you. I hope you won't despise it."

Qing Yu opened the box out of curiosity, and inside was a beautifully crafted round fan, especially the stunning embroidery on it.

The colorful silk threads are skillfully blended together to create flowers, birds, and clouds. You can tell how complicated the craftsmanship is just by looking at it.

She gently turned the handle of the fan, and the interwoven silk threads shimmered in the sunlight, emitting brilliant light.

Fang Ruo stared at her scrutinizing eyes, feeling increasingly nervous. "This... I embroidered this myself. I heard that the princess is good at incorporating round fans into her dancing. I thought the princess might like it."

"Did you embroider this?" She was slightly surprised and paid more careful attention to every stitch.

"Yes, my lady."

“It’s really beautiful, it’s a work of art.”

Fang Ruo smiled shyly, "My lord, you are too kind."

"This is the first time I've received a gift from a girl. Thank you, I like it very much."

"The first time..." Fang Ruo obviously didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, but he felt lucky in his heart.

She played with the round fan in her hand, and the white and gold fan turned between her nimble fingers.

The embroidery above is even more dazzling as it flows, with clouds wandering on the fan, flowers blooming, and birds chirping, making it more vivid and spiritual.

Finally, the fan covered her delicate face, and as the arm moved slowly, the beauty behind her was fully revealed.

"Haha, does it look good?" Her soft voice lingered in my ears and touched my heart.

"It's so beautiful." Fang Ruo couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. With just a few simple movements, she could even imagine how dazzling this princess would be on the stage.

"Yes, I also think round fans are very beautiful."

Fang Ruo was stunned for a moment, then she understood what she said and smiled slightly, "So the princess is referring to the fan."

"Yes." She handed the fan in her hand to the maid and told her to keep it safe.

Fang Ruo became more and more curious about the girl in front of him. What kind of woman was she that made the whole Yongqing City so buzz about her? What kind of woman was she that could make so many people fall in love with her and spend tens of thousands of taels of silver just to see her?

However, Fang Ruo still did not forget the purpose of his journey.

"Princess, are those the gifts given to you by His Majesty?" Fang Ruo found the right entry point.

"Yes." She nodded.

Fang Ruo cast an envious look at her, "Your Majesty is so kind to the princess."

"Is Brother Zhou not nice to you?" she asked.

Fang Ruo smiled and shook his head, "Your Majesty is busy with government affairs, and I rarely see Your Majesty."

"So, how long will it take for us to see each other?"

"Except for yesterday, the last time I saw Your Majesty was about half a year ago." Fang Ruoyun said calmly.

Qing Yu opened his eyes wide in surprise, "Half a year!"

It took half a year to live under the same roof. No wonder Brother Zhou didn’t remember Fang Ruo.

"I am a calm person, so it is natural that I do not please Your Majesty." Fang Ruo looked as if he was used to it.

"Then don't you want to see Brother Zhou?"

"If Your Majesty is willing to see me, I will wait here. If not, I will not force you."

She looked at Fang Ruo's eyes, which were also devoid of love. She was undoubtedly a poor man who was bound in the palace by power.

But although Fang Ruo's face was calm, there was a hidden resentment, not about his own experience, but about the injustice of the world.

"If giving in can buy a peaceful life, that would be nice." Qing Yu expressed this opinion without any preface or conclusion, with a smile on his lips, and his dark eyes became more meaningful.

Fang Ruo, who was hearing it, understood the meaning clearly. A trace of panic flashed across his face, but even though he tried his best to suppress it, it was still visible.

She just stared at Fang Ruo with a smile on her face, "Miss Fang Ruo, you should have some tea and some snacks first."

He no longer called her by her title, but by her name, as if to tell her that there would be no distinction of status in the subsequent conversation, it would just be communication between people.

Fang Ruo picked up the teacup in front of her, trying to calm herself down, listening to her sweet voice, as if she had never known that her name could be so beautiful.

"Thank you, Princess."

After calming down a bit, Fang Ruo expressed his opinion.

"The princess is indeed the same as the rumors said, but there are also some differences."

She asked curiously, "Well? What's the difference?"

"She has the same wisdom and talent, but she is gentler and more lovely. No wonder His Majesty dotes on the princess so much." The word "spiritual doctor" appeared in Fang Ruo's mind.

I have always been curious about this title, and even hoped that I could get her guidance.

"Miss Fang Ruo looks like she's in trouble?" She once again pointed out Fang Ruo's thoughts.

Fang Ruo was surprised and quickly denied, "No."

"But your emotions are written on your face." There was a soothing smile on the corners of her lips, and she seemed to be gradually removing Fang Ruo's defenses.

Fang Ruo avoided her gaze and said, "Everyone has it more or less."

"That's true." She took a sip of tea and didn't ask any more questions.

Fang Ruo pursed her lips and asked carefully, "Does the princess find the palace fun?"

"It would be fun if Brother Zhou was with me."

Fang Ruo smiled faintly, "It seems that the princess likes your majesty very much."

"Yes, I like it very much."

Fang Ruo did not expect her to answer so decisively.

"Then why doesn't the princess stay in the palace all the time?"

"The palace is good, but I like freedom. I came here to accompany Brother Zhou, and maybe I can help Brother Zhou in some way." She explained her situation.

"If I stay in the palace, won't I be able to see His Majesty every day?"

"I'm afraid that Brother Zhou doesn't want to see me every day."

"My princess, you are joking. I have never seen His Majesty favor a woman so much. If His Majesty is willing, would you also be willing to stay in the palace forever?"

She did not respond to this question immediately, but looked at the guards and maids who were some distance away, as if she was thinking about something.

Fang Ruo followed her gaze in confusion, and at this moment, she suddenly spoke.

"I don't want to."
