The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 355 - 218: Silly Bandit

Though the sleeves were shaped like bell sleeves, the chest area is still not that loose.

She recalled what her husband just said in front of the large mirror, the corners of her lips slightly curved up, her face a bit flushed, and her heart racing.

Glancing at the man who sat there like a stone longing for his wife, Yun Chunnuan chided playfully, "It’s all your fault, my good makeup is wasted. Had to redo it last time we went to the Royal Palace, and now again. Can’t you just give me a break?"

Yelyu Lie felt wronged, "Is my lady complaining that your husband is being too perfunctory?"

Yun Chunnuan: "?"

What nonsense is he spouting again!

"I beg you, act human, will you? Have you seen what hour it is? There’s no mother backing us up today, I don’t want to be the main event again."

"Don’t you still have your husband?"

Yun Chunnuan pouted, "You? Once you meet your great king father, you’re totally lost. He already sent you to Great Xia to die, and yet you remain loyal to him!"

A month ago, there was another stir from Chuqing Kingdom.

The King of Bianliao ordered my husband to lead twenty thousand troops to the border, just for a military drill.

This was intimidation, Yun Chunnuan knew.

To show those uneasy small neighboring countries that Bianliao was strong and mighty now, far from the poor little country it once was.

But for this, her husband had to travel a thousand miles with all the hassle!

Yun Chunnuan firmly disagreed, isn’t this just treating people like monkeys?

There are many ways to deter neighboring countries, why choose to send the soldiers to the border for training during the year’s end, and then have them return?

The king just had to move his lips, doing nothing, yet such actions cause genuine hardship for the people and waste resources, doesn’t it?

The journey cost manpower and resources, even if the soldiers’ spirits were high, they had to be put through such hassle?

However, in other matters, her husband would listen to her completely.

This time, he found his king father very reasonable.

He said it’s a small cost now, but if it doesn’t deter the others, a real war would cost much more.

Moreover, the soldiers indeed needed some training and motivation.

Their first marital disagreement arose because of this issue.

In the end, Yelyu Lie didn’t go, as he couldn’t leave his young wife alone.

Instead, Na Jiezhe and Banlai went...

The two of them led more than twenty thousand soldiers, making the round trip for a whole month.

Yun Chunnuan got tired of asking him about these things, but thinking back now, she felt irritated.

"Wife, about the affairs at court..."

"You’re saying I don’t understand, right? I really don’t, but if you keep indulging that king, he’ll only become more overbearing!"

Yelyu Lie slowly shook his head, took a deep breath, "Forget it, let’s not talk about this.

In any case, aside from this matter, your husband will listen to you in everything else and won’t let anyone bully you."

There are some things he can’t tell his young wife to worry her.

The King was already wary of him, no longer trusting him like before, and if he disobeyed the royal order this time, the Commander’s Seal would be taken away justifiably.

Especially after holding a wedding even grander than the Queen’s coronation ceremony which all the ministers opposed.

He was walking on thin ice in court.

In the past, he was frugal, even persuading the king not to renovate Ningxiang Hall for his mother.

Now, for his cherished one, he had already offended all the civil servants.

Rebellion isn’t a one-man job.

If he became a tyrannical monarch, he’d rather be no better than the current king, who, despite being extravagant, wasn’t bloodthirsty.

In short, he wouldn’t be as foolish as before.

Once the marriage issue blew over with the officials, he still had plans to make.

If they remained obstinate, he would reclaim everything his wife sacrificed for Bianliao!

Dammit! If they had any shame, they’d better comply resolutely!

His little darling single-handedly boosted Bianliao’s economy, don’t they have any sense?

Even if he held the wedding even more grandly, so what?

Give him another hundred chances, the result would be the same.

Though some old conservatives, accustomed to thrift, could be understood.

These matters, he’d handle alone, no need to trouble her with them.

Considering his young wife’s disposition, if she knew, she might blame herself again.

He couldn’t bear that.

Seeing her pout those chubby little lips, Yelyu Lie smiled helplessly, wanting to steal a kiss.

But his little darling covered her mouth, "No way, I just put on lipstick!"

Yelyu Lie pulled her hand away and planted a light kiss on her brow, "Nuannuan, I love you."

No amount of anger could withstand those three words.

Yun Chunnuan was someone whose temper flared quickly and faded just as fast; as long as her bottom line wasn’t crossed, any grievance would only linger in her heart for a while before dissipating.

Especially with her husband being this sweet-tongued, if she kept pestering, it’d just distress him.

Anyway, the matter had already passed; his foolish loyalty and filial piety to that king father wasn’t a new issue, it would take time to change.

Yun Chunnuan didn’t know about Yelyu Lie’s predicament at that moment, just thought he couldn’t let go of the king.

But she could understand and didn’t want to make it hard for him; at least he had corrected himself a bit now, not going personally this time was already quite good.

She tiptoed up to lightly kiss the man’s lips, "Husband, I love you too, love you the most, heart~"

After the kiss, those little hands made a big heart shape above her head.

With her little cape, she was just too adorable.

Yelyu Lie was smitten again.

Nuannuan, oh Nuannuan, his precious darling, there’s never enough of her!

Imitating her, he also made a heart above his head, "I love you the most too, heart!"

"Pfft—"

Yun Chunnuan was tickled by him, bursting into laughter.

Why does it feel like he’s some silly bandit?

If you know what’s good for you, you’d better take my love quickly! Or else I’ll love you by force!

"Hahaha! Husband, you’re adorable! Kiss kiss!" She puckered her little lips and blew a kiss in the air.

Yelyu Lie wouldn’t miss this sweet kiss and leaned in immediately.

But the little darling had retracted her chubby lips, and he directly bumped into her mouth.

"Ouch! It hurts!"

"Let me blow it away, all the pain will disappear."

Since having the little darling, Yelyu Lie had become quite adept at coaxing.

He practically raised her like a child.

His lips hurt a bit from the bump, but it didn’t stop Yun Chunnuan from laughing out loud.

"Do the heart again, and I won’t hurt anymore."

"No can do, too many times and it won’t be special anymore," Yelyu Lie said seriously, though he was talking nonsense.

Earlier, he had done that silly gesture because she looked too cute.

But seeing his own reflection in the mirror, he looked as dumb as a big bear, making hearts was only cute when his young wife did it.
