Quick Transmigration: Reversing the Life of a Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character

"Alright, stop. Don't come out. It's cold outside." Xuan Chengyan said, while maintaining his original pace as he walked over.

Lan Wan'er heeded the advice and stopped, standing under the eaves, and gracefully bowed: "Your Highness."

Xuan Chengyan reached out and pulled her up: "You're in the West Warm Pavilion?"

"Yes, I've been staying in the West Warm Pavilion these days, only returning to my bedroom at night. After all, it's not appropriate for young palace maids to go in and out of there too often," Lan Wan'er explained.

"Wan'er is a good mistress." As he spoke, he pulled her into the West Warm Pavilion, sat her on the soft couch, and made her sit down next to him.

"Is Your Highness praising me?"

"Yes."

"How about Your Highness bestow some gifts?" Lan Wan'er teased. What's the use of just empty praise? Let's get something concrete.

Xuan Chengyan paused for a moment, then chuckled, "Alright, alright, what does Wan'er want?"

"I've set up a training ground in the courtyard to practice swordsmanship. Does Your Highness have any beautiful swords or similar weapons in your private treasury?"

Xuan Chengyan became somewhat interested: "I didn't notice when I came in. Where did you put the training ground?"

Lan Wan'er thought to herself: What a good actor. There are only a few women in the Eastern Palace right now, and she is a key target of observation. How could he not know where her training ground is?

"Oh, it's in the backyard, just a cleared-out area."

"Why did you suddenly want to practice martial arts?"

"I come from a family of military officers. When I was young, I often went to the family's martial arts training ground to strengthen my body. Later, my mother was worried that I would develop rough hands and feet, so she forbade me to go there anymore."

"Aren't you worried about getting too muscular now?"

"She's already married off, so Your Highness can't return her. Besides, Wan'er is clumsy and clumsy. If someone argues with me or bullies me in the future, I can fight back even if I can't win the argument."

Xuan Chengyan burst out laughing, pulled her close, and kissed her: "Hahaha, yes, yes, I can't return you. But, Wan'er, are you still so clumsy? Are you worried about losing the argument, or are you just too lazy to argue?"

Lan Wan'er cupped his face in her hands and kissed him on the lips: "Then it's a deal, Your Highness, don't let anyone bully me."

"Where did we agree?" Xuan Chengyan placed his hand on the back of her neck, his eyes fixed aggressively on her lips.

Lan Wan'er ruined the atmosphere: "Did Your Highness eat butterfly cookies before you came?"

As he spoke, he smacked his lips, savoring the taste of the kiss he had just received.

Xuan Chengyan paused for a moment, then released his grip, leaned back on the soft couch, and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, you little vixen."

Liang Yongfu, who was waiting outside, had an even more amiable expression: "Qinghe, His Highness prefers sweet things and doesn't like sticky things."

"Thank you for your guidance, Eunuch Liang."

"We're all just serving our masters. If our masters are happy, we servants can relax a bit," Liang Yongfu said with a smile.

A short while later, Lan Wan'er, who was in the warm pavilion, called someone in to serve her. She wanted to take His Highness the Crown Prince to see the martial arts arena and asked someone to come in and change her boots and put on her cloak.

"Take the whip," Lan Wan'er said.

Granny Qiu responded and turned to go to the next room to fetch the whip that Lan Wan'er had become familiar with these days.

Xuan Chengyan took it first, weighed it in his hand, and said, "It's a bit light. But, Wan'er, is there a jewel inlaid on the handle of the whip?"

On the handle of Lan Wan'er's whip was a small, round ruby, which looked exquisite and lovely.

"It looks great," Lan Wan'er said matter-of-factly.

Xuan Chengyan shook his head, not understanding women's thoughts. As for weapons, they just need to be sharp and easy to use. What good are good-looking ones?

"Liang Yongfu, I remember, who presented me with a sword two years ago, with a scabbard inlaid with pearls and jade?"

"Yes, this servant remembers that it was presented by the Governor-General of Southern Xinjiang." Liang Yongfu replied immediately. His Highness saw the gifts and suspected that the person was corrupt, so he ordered someone to investigate. That Governor-General had already been dismissed from his post last year.

"That man is all show and no substance, but his taste is just right for you, my lady. Go find that sword, and then look at the things he brought in. See if there's anything else. Pick a few things and bring them over."

"Yes." Liang Yongfu bowed and withdrew, leading two eunuchs to the Crown Prince's private treasury.

In the martial arts arena in the backyard, Lan Wan'er stretched her limbs, took off her cloak, and demonstrated a set of Lan family whip techniques replicated from the original owner's memories.

The Lan family is most famous for its Lan family spear technique, but this technique is passed down only to men. The Lan family's whip technique was created by the great-grandmother. The movements are graceful and gentle, but in reality, they are sharp and ruthless.

Xuan Chengyan was so pleased with what he saw that he couldn't resist going down into the ring and exchanging a few blows with her.

Lan Wan'er felt that he was just there to show off his hormones and tease her, like when he pulled her into his arms by the whip at the end.

"Wan'er, your use of the Lan family's whip technique is still a bit too soft."

Lan Wan'er thought to herself: Although this body is indeed no match for you, I dare not go all out. If I were to leave even a red mark on you, I would have to kneel down and beg for forgiveness.

"I haven't practiced for a long time and have become rusty. I'm picking it up again now to improve my health, so naturally I can't compare to Your Highness."

"When you swing this move, use your upper arm to generate power, with the force coming from the tip of the whip." Xuan Chengyan, still not satisfied, began to instruct her.

"Like this?" Lan Wan'er earnestly exerted her strength according to his instructions.

It must be said that Crown Prince Xuan Chengyan is outstanding in both literary and military arts. Even a cursory glance at her whip technique reveals its flaws.

It wasn't until Liang Yongfu returned with the items that it got dark, and the two left the training ground and returned to the side hall that served as the dining hall.

"You have something like this in my private treasury?" Xuan Chengyan saw a wooden sword on a row of trays.

"Your Highness, this was specially made for you by the Inner Court when you were young, because they were worried that you would hurt yourself while practicing swordsmanship. However, you have never used it."

"Perfect, Wan'er, use this wooden sword to get used to the feel of it first, so you don't hurt yourself by using the real thing." Xuan Chengyan picked it up, weighed it in his hand, and handed it to her.

Lan Wan'er held it in her hand and felt it. She had to admit that everything the Inner Court sent to the Crown Prince was top-notch. The feel and weight of this wooden sword were almost identical to an iron sword. If she used it to practice, she could easily adapt to the real one later.

"I like it very much, Jinshu. Have Yunxiu make a beautiful sword tassel." Lan Wan'er casually ordered. Although she did not value Yunxiu, she did not remove her from the rank of first-class palace maid and would still have her do some needlework.

Xuan Chengyan spoke seemingly casually: "According to custom, you should have the allowances for four first-class palace maids here, but I only see three?"

"Oh, and there's Yunxiu too. I don't like her, so I send her out to do needlework," Lan Wan'er said directly without any attempt to hide it.

"If you don't like it, just send it away and let the Inner Court replace it with a better one."
