The General's Darling Is Delicate-Chapter 70: Striving for Success! Fist Pump!

Wu’er was shocked!

She knelt on the ground with a thud, "Second Madam, you mustn’t! The body, hair, and skin are received from one’s parents, cutting... can’t be done!"

This was probably the bravest thing Wu’er ever said to Lian Qiao...

Still, she refused her!

Lian Qiao pouted, causing her face to hurt, she quickly covered it, eyes full of displeasure, "What’s so wrong with cutting it? Look at Qiao’er, didn’t she let it be cut?"

Wu’er kept her head down, not daring to speak, but she couldn’t help but think: Wasn’t that because the Great Xia Princess seems way more reliable than you!

If she trusted this head to Second Madam...

Goodness, wouldn’t Second Madam just pluck her bald!

Wahh, just imagining it feels too ugly!

She doesn’t want to!

"Forget it, you’re just useless, not as good-looking as Qiao’er, not as spirited as Qiao’er! She can protect her master, but you? My wine cup was switched under your very nose, and you acted like you didn’t see it! What a waste of my affection for you!"

Lian Qiao turned away angrily.

Wu’er pouted, following behind her, unable to resist glancing back.

She really, really, really envies Qiao’er so much!

At first, ordered by the General to serve the Great Xia Princess, Qiao’er was often ridiculed by them.

Wasn’t it said that the Great Xia Princess was supposed to be unruly, capricious, fierce, and ruthless? Why was she different from the rumors?

Wahh, does the Princess need more maids? She also wants to...

"Princess, it seems Second Madam has left."

In the courtyard, Yun Chunnuan was focused on cutting Qiao’er’s hair.

However, Qiao’er’s mind was on the red-dressed woman at the doorway, and only when she left did Qiao’er finally exhale in relief.

Yun Chunnuan didn’t care at all.

She could tell that Lian Qiao didn’t have any evil intentions, even if she wanted to do something wrong, it was all written on her face.

Such a person wouldn’t bother resorting to underhanded tactics.

Hmm, even if she did resort to them, Yun Chunnuan wasn’t afraid.

Her flowery fists and embroidered kicks wouldn’t stand a chance in front of the Barbarian General, wouldn’t even show well, but against someone like Lian Qiao, she was confident she’d win.

She simply wouldn’t let herself suffer.

While thinking this, her hands didn’t cease their movements.

Yun Chunnuan, though not a Tony the hairstylist, used to wear wigs for performances before, often learning from videos how to trim them, so Qiao’er’s simple hairstyle was no problem for her.

As the tufts of hair fell to the ground, Yun Chunnuan put away the scissors and held up the copper mirror in front of Qiao’er, "How is it?"

The Qiao’er in the mirror truly looked transformed.

Her previous hairstyle was like two braids hanging over her chest, with the hair behind twisted into a bun.

The most bothersome was the bangs, thin and ending above the eyebrows, exposing all of Qiao’er’s flaws unreservedly.

But now, her broad cheeks were concealed by hair that was short in back and long in front, and the short bangs were parted to the sides, revealing a full and smooth forehead, with distinct and clear facial features.

A pair of large, bright eyes appeared particularly radiant.

Qiao’er stared wide-eyed at the girl in the mirror, hardly daring to believe this slightly delicate face with a touch of girlish shyness was hers.

"Princess! Wahh wahh wahh..."

Yun Chunnuan was just about to say ’Stop, don’t flatter too much’.

When she heard Qiao’er cry out, "I’m really beautiful! Wahh wahh wahh! How am I so beautiful! I can actually look this good!"

Yun Chunnuan: "..."

Emmm, alright.

She finally understood, this little girl Qiao’er’s flattery had no boundaries regarding gender, age, or target.

No matter who exceeded her little brain’s expectations, she would lavish with flattery.

Even if it was herself, she’d lavish so endlessly.

However, she was indeed truly adorable.

With the hairstyle change, her appearance took a qualitative leap, making her even more charming.

"As long as you like it, I was afraid I’d cut it wrong and you’d cry." Yun Chunnuan examined Qiao’er, satisfied with her own handiwork, "For the back of your hair, just tie it into a bun as usual. Don’t touch the bangs in front again, they’re not your style."

"Alright, Princess! Wahh wahh wahh, everyone is human, why is the Princess so amazing! Look at these hands! Are they hands? They’re simply... they’re..."

"Out of words, huh?"

Qiao’er blushed, "Princess can teach me! In the future my, uh, whatever flattery, I guarantee it’ll be sweet and make the Princess happy!"

Yun Chunnuan thought about it, and decided against it.

Once she mastered all sorts of idioms, there’s no telling how absurd her flattery would become.

Yun Chunnuan went back to her room, tidying up briefly, and asked Qiao’er for paper and pen to list the materials she needed for making handmade soap.

She wanted to make two kinds of soap, one for washing intimate clothing, the simplest kind of soap.

Another was beauty soap, requiring more materials.

Qiao’er tilted her head, looking at what was written on the paper, puzzled, "Princess, do you also need rice?"

Qiao’er couldn’t recognize other characters, but she could recognize the simple ’big’ and ’rice’.

"Yes, need rice, and pearls, silk cocoons, mutton tallow. Are these available at the marketplace? Oh, and also bitter root."

She’d never made dental powder before, only saw it in TV shows when the female lead used bitter root to make powder and brush her teeth after time-traveling to ancient times.

She’d just have to give it a try.

Qiao’er frowned, the hair on both sides of her head slipped over her cheeks as she tilted her head, very cute and charming.

"There is, indeed. Just talking about mutton tallow, Aunt Ye’s place has it. Pearls, there’s a big box the General gave the Princess. But the other items... Rice is the tribute rice, right? That would need the General to bring back from the Royal Palace, and silk cocoons, are they the kind silk is drawn from? I’m not sure if they’re sold at the marketplace... Princess, what do you need these for? Maybe wait until the General returns..."

"Let’s take a look around first, if not, then talk to him."

Yun Chunnuan decided, first to make the beauty soap her grandmother taught her, which she used regularly in the modern world, it worked better than facial cleansers.

If successful, by summer, she could refine some essential oils like rose or lily, and make body wash or shampoo!

Perhaps she could even start a small business in Bianliao!

Yun Chunnuan’s greatest fear was becoming a useless person in this place, with her only role being a wife and mother, eventually growing old and dying deep in the household.

If she had her own career, life would be more motivating.

Clenching her fists!

Big dreams, just thinking about it made Yun Chunnuan feel passionate.

With Qiao’er, she happily left the General Mansion.

They traveled along the main street, crossed a bridge, and came to the area where the Barbarian General had brought her before.

Before heading out, Yun Chunnuan deliberately dressed up, fearing her Central Plains appearance was too conspicuous.

Unexpectedly, there were still those with no eyes looking for trouble...
