After conquering seven male favorites, the vicious heroine wants to run away

Chapter 214 Anger Needs to Be Coaxed
The man's questions lingered in my ears, a mixture of complaint and probing.

Shi Nuanyu nodded indifferently, "You keep calling yourself my subordinate and won't admit that you are my husband, so why should I care?"

She finally understood that the man beneath her was very conflicted, and she had to force him to overcome his psychological hurdle.

I wonder how he made up his mind to confess his feelings that day amidst the sea of ​​flowers.

Dan Baiyu's mind was momentarily blank, and he managed to ask that question with difficulty.

"Your Highness isn't angry with me?"

His actions during the day were his fault.

Shi Nuanyu clenched her fist and punched his chest. When she got tired, she buried her face in the man's chest and answered in a muffled voice.

"I'm angry that you don't trust me, and I'm angry that you keep everything to yourself and won't tell me. You have the words to explain, but you insist on making things more complicated for us."

Dan Baiyu, it's true that we've been separated for several months, but I, Shi Nuanyu, am not a person who betrays faith or abandons feelings.

The reason I was avoiding you a few days ago was because I had just ended a relationship and didn't want to affect you or be irresponsible towards you.

If she were someone who couldn't think, then they would surely have encountered many troubles by now.

"Besides, it's been several months since we last met, and I'm not so confident that you still like me."

She's not some hot commodity that everyone can like.

Dan Baiyu slowly digested what he had just heard, savoring the moment as a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

"Your Highness, it's my fault. I overthought things. I'm sorry."

He tentatively examined the woman's eyes, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she did not seem angry.

He lost his composure because of the Shan family army, forgetting that the current Nan Yue is not the Nan Yue of the past.

Shi Nuanyu gave a soft groan, opened her mouth and bit down on the collarbone that was so close to hers, only letting go when she heard the man's muffled groan.

“Even if you apologize, I’m still angry,” she said, touching the man’s Adam’s apple and watching with amusement as his ear tips gradually turned red.

"General Shan, if you coax me a little, I will forgive you."

A tickling sensation came from his Adam's apple, making it impossible for Shan Baiyu to utter a complete sentence. The tall man's face flushed, "I...I will do as Your Highness says."

Before the man could coax her, she had already fallen into a deep sleep, too exhausted from working hard for several days to even speak.

Dan Baiyu dared not move an inch, feeling unbearably hot all over, and could only take deep breaths to stay calm.

Even a physically healthy man can't suppress certain reactions.

He sighed helplessly and read the military strategy aloud several times.

The news of Princess Nanyue's arrival at the southern border spread like wildfire, and her romantic affair with General Shan was passed down by word of mouth.

Street stalls even displayed storybooks about Princess Nanyue and her male lovers, with all sorts of versions, each one utterly absurd.

At the Shicheng market, a young man dressed as a servant looked around in front of a bookstall, hesitated for a moment, and then made up his mind.

"Shopkeeper, please select one of each of Princess Nanyue's storybooks and wrap them up."

"Alright," the shopkeeper, a seemingly honest-looking burly man with a shrewd glint in his eyes, quickly packed up the storybooks. "There are only a few left of these storybooks. You've come at the right time, sir..."

The servant, not wanting to hear any more nonsense, paid the money and left in a hurry.

After the person walked away, the shopkeeper brought out several large storybooks from the corner.

Half an incense stick later, a soldier in armor lingered in front of the bookstall.

Shicheng General's Mansion.

Two women, their faces full of sorrow, flipped through the storybooks on the stone table, sighing as they read.

"Mother, Princess Nanyue has arrived in the Southern Frontier, wouldn't Bai Yu be..."

She paused for a moment, then sighed.

Zhong Changchun closed the storybook. "Ever since Bai Yu returned from the capital, he's been acting strangely. He often holds a girl's embroidered handkerchief and giggles foolishly. As a mother, I shouldn't pry too much, but his relationship with Princess Nanyue is..." A few years ago, an imperial edict was issued ordering Shan Baiyu to become Princess Nanyue's male concubine. They resisted vehemently, but the imperial power was too oppressive.

Now that Shan Baiyu has developed feelings for another girl, how can they protect Baiyu if Princess Nanyue blames him?

Zhong Hong's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and she picked up the next storybook to continue reading.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings; Bai Yu can make his own decisions about his affairs."

She knew from her grandson's resolute departure for Kyoto that he was still deeply troubled by the deaths of the Shan family father and son. Unable to stop him, she let him do what he wanted.

"That is true, but I have heard that Princess Nanyue is tyrannical. Bai Yu angered her in the capital and was ordered to have his leg broken. His arrival now may cause more trouble."

With major battles imminent in both southern and northern Xinjiang, they will be unable to spare the energy to care for others.

It was less about taking care of them and more about being wary of them.

Zhong Hong, however, remained unaffected. "You only know that Princess Nanyue reprimanded Bai Yu, but you don't acknowledge that Princess Nanyue sent her ministers to Shicheng to improve the fertile fields and the land, so that the people could live a life free from hunger."

Things should not be judged by appearances; one must gradually understand the truth of the matter.

Her daughter was good in every way, and she was no less capable of killing enemies before the war, but she lost her composure when it came to her children.

Unable to argue with his mother, Zhong Changchun continued to ponder over his storybook.

In the military camp, Shi Nuanyu wandered around aimlessly. She hadn't seen Shan Baiyu since she woke up early in the morning. With nothing to do, she heard that there was a female general in the army, so she curiously walked towards the female general's tent.

In the long river of history, there were many female generals whose literary and military talents were no less than anyone else's, but their achievements were overshadowed because they were women.

As soon as I arrived at the female general's tent, I saw two female generals fighting on the arena. One of them was wielding a long sword and the other was wielding a long spear, and they were exchanging blows back and forth.

Shi Nuanyu stood below the arena, mesmerized. The two fighters' moves were clean and crisp, both top-notch.

The female generals saw the woman who had suddenly entered; the woman was dressed in green and her eyes were full of admiration for them.

The two female generals stopped in unison, exchanged a glance, and knelt down to pay their respects.

"This humble general pays his respects to Princess Nanyue."

Shi Nuanyu asked curiously, "How did you know it was me?"

The female general smiled calmly, "Last night I heard that Princess Nanyue personally visited the Southern Frontier. The princess's clothes and face are indeed easy to recognize."

Most of the female generals in the army were tanned dark because they trained so often that their bodies were much stronger than those of ordinary people.

Shi Nuanyu nodded, "Please rise quickly. I heard there are female generals in the military camp, so I couldn't resist coming to see for myself. Have I disturbed you?"

As far as she knew, only the southern border of the entire Southern Yue had a female general. It was likely that many states had different views on women joining the army, but now it seemed that there was no difference in the situation.

The female general was surprised, not expecting Princess Nanyue to be so easy to talk to, and her face did not seem as tyrannical as rumored.

“Not at all,” said the soldier, who was always straightforward and asked questions. “Does the princess wish to look around? I have nothing to do today, so I can guide the princess on a tour.”

She was eager for someone to introduce them, "Okay, thank you..."

The female general understood immediately, "My surname is Lu, and my given name is Zhao."

His surname is Lu and his given name is Zhao.

Shi Nuanyu scrutinized her closely, "What is your relationship with Lord Lu of the Dali Temple?"

The two had somewhat similar features and even mannerisms, but she seemed much more talkative than Lord Lu.

Lu Zhao readily admitted, "Lord Lu is my father."

She showed no nervousness about revealing her identity; she had entered the military camp through her own abilities and was naturally not afraid of gossip.

“I see,” Shi Nuanyu nodded. “Lord Lu is in good health and handles cases with great efficiency. Even the younger generation can’t match his decisiveness.”

Lu Zhao looked grateful. These words were to let her know that her father was safe and sound, and that with the princess's protection, no one would dare to make things difficult for him.

"Thank you princess."

We're not even close friends, please let this pass censorship! It's so difficult!!!
