Chapter 35: Yun Chunnuan's Desire to Escape Begins to Waver

One is from the Great Xia Country, forcing the Little Princess to take off her clothes.

One is from Bianliao, respecting all the Little Princess's preferences.

Yun Chunnuan looked at this chest full of Central Plains clothing, her affection for the Barbarian General increased a little more.

What was rare was that, even though she was isolated and helpless, he never forced her.

"Fool, I like it. This jacket is both pretty and warm, why not wear it? Stop crying!"

"I'm just excited!" Qiao'er broke into a smile, once again transforming into the ambassador of compliments, "The Princess looks so beautiful! I've never seen any Bianliao woman, able to wear Bianliao clothes so gracefully! If the General saw this... General!"

As Qiao'er spoke, she saw the tall figure suddenly appear at the door.

His presence was simply too strong.

Even though Yun Chunnuan didn't turn around, she could feel the spacious room suddenly become cramped.

Even the air seemed to be stolen away in an instant.

She slowly turned around and saw the tall figure, standing at the door against the light.

In his amber eyes was evident astonishment.

His gaze fell on Yun Chunnuan...

To be precise, it was on the Bianliao clothing she was wearing.

"You..."

Yun Chunnuan spread her little hands, blinked her eyes, "How do I look?"

"Beautiful."

Those words were not a lie at all.

Just praising her as beautiful felt unfair to her beauty.

Not only was Qiao'er amazed, but Yelv Lie also saw for the first time a woman who could wear Bianliao clothes so... stunningly.

He always thought Bianliao clothing was bulky and heavy, since warmth was more important.

On her, however, it appeared graceful and extraordinary.

It was a completely different style.

The most beautiful woman Yelv Lie had ever seen was his mother, and he had once wondered what it would look like if his mother wore Bianliao clothing?

Unfortunately, he had never seen his mother wear anything other than Western Regions attire since growing up.

The nurse said that when he was very small, his mother often wore them, during a time when she and his father... father were deeply in love, harmony like music, the envy of all Bianliao as a divine couple.

But, Yelv Lie had no memory of these things.

His memory before the age of eight was blank.

So the things the nurse said, Yelv Lie didn't know.

In his impression, his mother rarely smiled, and there was more tension like enemies between her and his father.

Whatever happened between them, Yelv Lie had no way of knowing...

And the Little Princess, like his mother, was a foreigner, so Yelv Lie could more deeply empathize with how isolated and helpless a woman must feel in a foreign land.

He didn't force her, after all, it was just a piece of clothing.

He was confident that as long as he was good to her and let her feel that Bianliao was as much her home as Great Xia, she would willingly change into Bianliao clothing sooner or later.

Only Yelv Lie didn't expect that day to come so soon...

"Why that expression?" Yun Chunnuan saw his complicated look and thought she looked ugly and he was too polite to say.

This small frame might not support the long coat of Bianliao well.

Yun Chunnuan pretended to undo the buttons, "Forget it, it's not good to look too ugly the first time going out, let's change."

"No change!" Yelv Lie quickly stepped forward, holding her small hand, "You look great! Really great."

His gaze was gentle, with a touch of relief, a touch of emotion.

"Bianliao is your home."

There was so much Yelv Lie wanted to say, but being tongue-tied, all his words turned into this one sentence.

Bianliao is your home.

Before wearing these clothes, Yun Chunnuan hadn't thought much.

She just felt it was warm, lightweight, and the color was nice.

Never expected it to move both the Barbarian General and Qiao'er to such a state.

She found another merit of the Barbarian General — he was easily satisfied.

Though he looked fierce and indifferent, he was actually happy for half a day with even a nice word.

Bianliao... her home...

Could it really be considered her own home?

To be honest, Yun Chunnuan had no good impression of the Great Xia Country in the Little Princess's memories.

Including the cold emperor father and the Noble Consort mother who only wanted to exchange the Little Princess for wealth, recalling what they did evoked disgust in people.

And the first day Yun Chunnuan arrived, she was in Bianliao.

Qiao'er treated her well, and the Barbarian General was cuter than she imagined.

The premise was, as long as he wasn't in heat!

Yun Chunnuan felt a bit shaken about running away.

Let's go for a stroll first; even if she really had to leave here, she didn't want to return to the Little Princess's 'home.' It might be a possibility to settle in Bianliao?

"Princess, do you want me to do your hair in Bianliao style?"

Qiao'er watched the pair happily from the side.

She always thought the General was heroic and unmatched, like a deity descended, with no woman worthy of him.

But with the General and Little Princess standing together, they looked like a perfect match!

Although... there was a tiny bit of height difference, but it only made the Little Princess look more adorable!

"No need, just tie it casually. Do you have a hair tie?" Yun Chunnuan casually gathered her long hair at her waist into a high ponytail.

On her small palm-sized face, her exquisite features were fully revealed.

The two in the room were utterly stunned.

Qiao'er exaggerated as always, "Wah, Princess! Is this a new kind of hairstyle? I've never seen it before! So beautiful! Stunning!"

Yun Chunnuan helplessly gave Qiao'er a look, "Little girl, let's make a deal, can you not exaggerate so much?"

Qiao'er protested, "I'm not exaggerating at all! General, judge for yourself, isn't the Princess's beauty earth-shattering?"

Yun Chunnuan: "..."

Is that how "earth-shattering" is used? o(╯□╰)o

Yelv Lie's lips curled up, eyes brimming with laughter, "Beautiful, wonder which family's Fairy has come down to earth?"

"General, General, you've gone silly! It's our family! No, it's the General's!"

Like a duet, the two went back and forth.

Yun Chunnuan was speechless to the heavens, "You two should join the De Yun Society, sure to outshine Guo Degang and overshadow Yue Yunpeng."

Those two names, they sounded like men's names.

Yelv Lie remembered the name Ban Na that the Little Princess kept mentioning when she had a fever.

Adding two more new names now, could they all be her old flames?

Sss!

Yelv Lie was displeased, placing the bowl of medicine in the Little Princess's hands, annoyed, "Drink it, leave a drop and I'll..."

He glanced at Qiao'er, then leaned down, whispering into the little darling's ear, "I'll take you hard!"
