Quick Transmigration: Heroine Arrives, Woman Rapidly Retreats!

Crossdressing Female General vs Alluring Malicious Beauty (31)

Gu Shengyin did not stay in Jiang Huan’s manor for long. She strived to ignore the discomfort radiating through her body, and rode Jiang Huan’s horse carriage back to Fu Manor. 

As she expected, her father had been awake all night.

For the first time, the father-daughter pair had a harmonious meal together, without cold gazes or dark silences.

The old steward watched on, eyes brimming with tears. After so many years of watching the old General stewing in silence, and the young lady suffer. He had never thought that, in this lifetime, he would witness the two of them resolve their conflict.

At the end of the month, the barbarian tribes invaded the northwest border, and Gu Shengyin was ordered by the emperor to lead the army.

The night before the departure, Jiang Huan came to the general’s manor, and poured her a full glass of wine.

“Wishing for your triumphant return.”

Gu Shengyin laughed, and nodded. As the heroine of this world, Fu Yunzhen was loved by the heaven’s luck, and the title of ‘invincible’ was no exaggeration.

She looked at her lover’s healthier complexion. Ever since Jiang Huan had taken the medicine from her system, his body had improved by a lot, and the congenital deficiency of his vitality had been supplemented as well.

Gu Shengyin departed in the tenth month of the year.

In eleventh month of the 20th year of the Changsheng calendar1, the army sent back good news. General Fu had lead the army and captured the enemy commander alive!

At the end of the eleventh month, the court once again received news, that the TianYun Dynasty’s imperial army had launched a surprise attack at the heart of the enemy’s land, and had taken down the Khan of the barbarians!

During the emperor’s longevity celebrations2 in the twelfth month, Fu Yunzhen lead the army back to the imperial court, and presented a congratulatory gift — the barbarian’s signed oath to forever be a loyal subject, and the new barbarian Khan’s expressed desire for a hundred years of friendship with the TianYun Dynasty.

The emperor was jubilant, and issued a decree on the spot granting Fu Yunzhen the title of a first-rank marquis, with the annual salary of a junwang3.

After this decree was announced, matchmakers flooded the General Manor’s threshold. 

Everyone knew that the general was now greatly favored by the emperor. At a young age, he had already become a high-ranking minister, and would definitely rise higher in the future. Now that his engagement with Princess Shuhe had been cancelled, he was the top son-in-law candidate.

Of course, these people were politely rejected by old General Fu.

On the other end, Fu Yunzhen was punished many times by Jiang Huan over this matter.

“You are quite popular now.” Jiang Huan opened his mouth to bite Gu Shengyin’s fair shoulder.

Gu Shengyin hissed, and said unsteadily: “Are you a dog?” 

Jiang Huan laughed lightly, but his lower body never stopped moving, forcing Gu Shengyin to cling tightly to him: “I am a dog, born just to bite a sweet pastry like you.”

……The rest of the noises were wordless.

At the beginning of the following year, the imperial palace issued a decree, designating the second princess Shuhe as Duanjing Princess, who would be married to the barbarians as a symbol of Tianyun Dynasty’s friendship.

As soon as the decree was announced, there was uproar everywhere.

Everyone knew that these types of marriages were bestowed upon the unloved princesses. There were times when the emperor loved all his daughters, and would instead choose a distant imperial relative to name as princess and send off for marriage.

In regards to Princess Shuhe, no one could understand why the emperor, who had always pampered this one princess, would suddenly send her to such a harsh place like the barbarian tribes to marry.

When Imperial Concubine Fang heard the news, she fainted. After regaining consciousness, she hurried to the emperor’s palace to kneel, hoping that His Majesty would rescind the decree.

However, after she had knelt for a full day and night, and was carried away by servants after collapsing from exhaustion, the emperor still did not change his mind.

In the third month of the twenty-first year of the Changsheng calendar, Duanjing Princess set off on a journey to the barbarians with a great bridal procession.

2. [birthday celebrations]

3. [second highest wang (prince/king) title; highest is qinwang]
