Crossdressing Female General vs Alluring Malicious Beauty (30)
Gu Shengyin woke early the next day.
When she first woke, she sensed something was off and kept her eyes closed. Gu Shengyin quickly recalled the events of last night, and finally understood what she had done last night.
After she became drunk, she not only revealed her true identity, but also wrapped herself up and gifted herself out!
As she thought of certain events, her breathing was no longer as calm, and then she felt the arm around her waist squeeze slightly.
At the same time, a familiar voice spoke from above her head: “Morning, Yunzhen.”
Jiang Huan’s voice was very calm, without any embarrassment, and it allowed Gu Shengyin to calm down a lot.
She secretly criticized herself: She has already experienced so many lives and so many worlds, so how can she be less settled than her lover who has no memory of reincarnation?
After realizing this, she opened her eyes to meet Jiang Huan’s smiling face: “Shi’an, good morning.”
Sensing the hand on her back slowly begin stroking down her spine, Gu Shengyin blinked and said: “I have to go talk to my father today. I just ran out like that yesterday, he’s probably feeling unsettled.”
The man’s intentions were way too obvious. Although Fu Yunzhen’s body was in great shape, it was still her first time, and definitely could not endure another round.
Who would have thought that, although Jiang Huan looked very weak, in certain aspects he was still very strong.
Jiang Huan sighed. The nephrite jade within his arms was warm and fragrant. He had finally gotten a taste, and simply wished to feast upon the banquet. Although it was impossible to say he did not want more, but seeing Gu Shengyin’s face, he knew that he could not continue insisting. He pulled back his hand and watched as Gu Shengyin got dressed without hesitation.
When Gu Shengyin was finished dressing, she turned around and found that Jiang Huan had already gotten dressed.
After the servants brought up water to wash their faces, Jiang Huan looked at her, and suddenly sighed: “Who knows when I’ll be able to draw eyebrows1 for Yunzhen.”
Gu Shengyin also fell silent at his words. She now held the identity of a ‘man’, so of course it would be impossible for her to paint her face with powder and draw flowers upon her forehead. Jiang Huan’s wistful wish, would probably never be fulfilled in this lifetime.
When he saw her expression, Jiang Huan suddenly realized the severity of what he had said.

He stepped forward and gently wrapped his arms around Gu Shengyin’s waist from behind: “Don’t dwell upon it too much, I was just casually mentioning it.”
Gu Shengyin wasn’t actually upset. After listening to her lover’s comforting words, she joked: “Oh Esteemed Royal Highness Rong-wang, if you simply spoke a word, so many women would be willing to let you paint their brows, even without the guarantee of an official position2.”
Jiang Huan frowned, and squeezed Gu Shengyin’s hand forcefully. He said sternly: “From now on, Yunzhen must never say these types of things again. In this lifetime, I, Jiang Huan, have set my heart towards only you, and there will never be another person.”
Gu Shengyin knew that this was her lover, and always trusted him. But when she heard these words, her heart was still greatly touched.
Unlike the previous worlds, Yunzhen’s identity could never be revealed, or the Fu Family would suffer under the crime of deceiving the monarch. If Jiang Huan chose to be with her, then it was very likely that the relationship between them could not be made public in this lifetime.
He would not be able to marry a wife and have children, and was thus bound to face judgement from the outside world, and even pressure from the royal family.
Gu Shengyin felt that she was being very selfish, as she knew that this situation was unfair towards Jiang Huan. But there was no way she would ever be able to accept her lover having another woman.
In addition, she was not the type of woman to be constantly suspicious and untrusting, so she knew exactly how deep her lover’s feelings for her were.
She was confident that, in Jiang Huan’s eyes, there existed no other women.
1. [lovers’ thing: where the man helps his lover with her makeup, particularly with the brows]
2. [an official position, as in a lawfully wedded concubine, basically she’s saying they’d ‘ruin’ themselves even for a one-off]
Ari’s Corner:
my semester ended last week, and my summer classes start tomorrow; I managed to finish translating this chapter today, so I’ll post it before I forget
my summer classes are the super condensed quick-pace version, so no guarantees on returning to the weekly updates, I’ll have to see how heavy the workload is first
Dragonboat festival was two days ago, so I hope you guys ate some yummy 粽子 zongzi, or yummy sticky rice balls wrapped in banana leaves. I love savory ones with pork and peanut and mung bean, though I know people eat ones that they dip in sugar for a sweeter palate. Do y’all like sweet or savory better?
