Chapter 59: Obeying Male Morality
There was a rustling sound coming from the bed curtains in the room, and Shi Nuanyu looked at the ointment worriedly.

She wanted to apply medicine and heal the scar, but how should she apply the medicine?
He tentatively put his hand around his back, and the pulling movement pulled on the wound.

Shi Nuanyu couldn't help but frown.

She was in such a difficult situation. She couldn't really ask Tao Huiyan to help apply the medicine, right?
Shi Nuanyu stared blankly at the top of the bed curtain with lifeless eyes. What should she do?

"Your Highness," Tao Huiyan pulled open the bed curtain.

Shi Nuanyu subconsciously pulled the thin blanket to cover him, and only when she saw the veil on his eyes did she slowly relax her guard.

"Your Highness, I will help you."

Noticing that Nuanyu was feeling resentful, he reassured her again and again, "Don't worry, Tao can't see it."

After weighing the pros and cons, Shi Nuanyu handed the ointment to him and threatened him with concern.

"If you dare to peek, I will tell your secret to everyone."

Tao Huiyan tightened her grip on the medicine bottle, her expression remaining calm.

"Tao doesn't dare."

Shi Nuanyu just wanted to irritate him, but she didn't expect that there was really a secret. What bad luck!

She boldly guessed that the secret must be related to his wife and children.

Although Tao Huiyan was blindfolded, her movements were very delicate.

The ointment was applied accurately to the wound, without touching any part that shouldn't be touched.

But his hands were so cold that she couldn't help but shiver.

"You're not in good health, so you should wear more clothes on weekdays."

He was the coolest dressed among the men.

Tao Huiyan curled her lips and smiled, gazing at the woman's expression with interest.

"Your Highness, do you like my outfit?"

It’s so easy to cheat!
Shi Nuanyu turned her head and looked at him openly. A demon is a demon. No matter how she dresses, she is the most beautiful demon.

Everyone likes beautiful women, and she is no exception.

Pity……

Thinking of the other young lady who suffered for him, Shi Nuanyu gave him some worried instructions.

"Tao Huiyan, do you know that men must abide by male ethics and be responsible for their lovers? They cannot abandon their wives and children, take concubines, or support mistresses. Do you remember this?"

Alas, she could only help so far.

After all, he is the male protagonist in the book, and he should not do such immoral things.

There was an undercurrent in Tao Huiyan's eyes. Was His Highness setting rules for him?
"I will obey your orders."

After applying the ointment, Shi Nuanyu put on her clothes swiftly and drew a line on the large bed.

Tao Huiyan came back after washing her hands and saw the pile of bedding on the bed and fell into deep thought.

"Your Highness, what does this mean?"

He has made all the preparations to sleep with the emperor tonight. Does His Highness want to play some tricks?
Shi Nuanyu explained righteously, "I sleep on the inside, and you sleep on the outside. You cannot cross the line. Understand."

It was already unfair to his lover outside to ask him to apply medicine on her just now, and now there should be no physical contact.

"Understand."

Tao Huiyan nodded hesitantly, with confusion in her eyes.

Could it be that Your Highness really doesn't like his body?
The spring sun shines through the gauze curtains and falls gently on the bed like a fine thread. The woman on the bed curls up at the innermost side, her fair little face deeply embedded in the quilt.

She was dissatisfied with the glaring light and pulled up the thin blanket to cover her head.

Tao Huiyan sat leisurely in front of the window, admiring the spring scenery outside the house after the rain, and leisurely drinking the brewed hot tea.

The scenery outside the window is pleasant. The pavilions are welcoming the baptism of sunshine, and the well-fed willow branches are swaying in the wind.

Because it is located in Yanliu Lane, there are not many people here during the day.

The rustling of the bedclothes caught Tao Huiyan's attention. He turned and stared quietly at the woman between the curtains. After last night's experience, he finally believed the Imperial Master's words.

Her Royal Highness the Princess has changed.

Thinking of something deeply hidden in her memory, Tao Huiyan frowned slightly. She wondered if she still remembered that thing?
"Jewel, your princess is hungry."

Shi Nuanyu, who was half asleep and half awake, habitually called the little girl's name and murmured to herself, "Let's go have breakfast later. The tofu soup made by the imperial chef is delicious."

Tao Huiyan replied in a gentle voice, "Your Highness, there's a place in the West Market that specializes in making tofu pudding soup. Would you like to try some?"

Shi Nuanyu opened her eyes drowsily, and her confused mind slowly became clear.

"I want to go."

The fragrant tofu soup is the best.

After the two of them washed up, Shi Nuanyu deliberately put on a veil to disguise herself. Everyone in Kyoto knew her, and if someone found her wandering around the streets, it would definitely cause a commotion.

On the bustling streets, people began their busy day, and the vendors' shouts rose one after another, creating a lively scene.

Shi Nuanyu and Tao Huiyan were walking side by side. Because a certain man was too handsome, many purses were thrown to him along the way.

Shi Nuanyu was jealous. She also wanted to have such treatment, but between shopping safely and exposing her identity, she chose the former.

Looking at the people who lived and worked in peace and contentment, she couldn't help but sigh that Nanyue was worthy of being a great country. The people only needed to work hard for their livelihood every day without worrying about the danger of their lives.

"The southern moon is so beautiful, the people live and work in peace and contentment,"

Tao Huiyan continued, "Nanyue Capital is indeed great. High-ranking officials and dignitaries can be seen everywhere. Of the sixteen cities in Nanyue, excluding the ten that are relatively close, the other six cities do not have such a prosperous life."

"But because Nanyue is a powerful nation, we can survive."

Shi Nuanyu was surprised, "Why six cities?"

Could it be that each city has a different development direction?
Tao Huiyan laughed, "Your Highness, you may not know that the other six cities are close to the border, and every city has an enemy country eyeing them covetously.
If they weren't afraid of Nanyue's military strength and the treaty, the other Zhou states would have already launched an attack."

At this time, Nuanyu understood that areas rich in resources are always places of contention, and the abundance of Nanyue's products will certainly make others jealous.

After returning to the princess's mansion, she had to read the biographies of the Zhou Dynasty to understand the local customs and people.

"Have you ever been to other countries? How do they compare to the Southern Moon?"

Tao Huiyan shook her head. "Now there is a situation of three kingdoms standing side by side. Apart from the three kingdoms, the other kingdoms are facing difficulties and hardships."

The two of them walked and stopped and finally arrived at the tofu soup shop.

Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Shi Nuanyu didn't plan to ask.

Tao Huiyan greeted the shop owner familiarly, "Uncle, two bowls of tofu soup, the rest is as usual."

Uncle happily invited the two to sit down, "Mr. Tao is here, please take a seat."

He saw Shi Nuanyu following behind him and patted his head.

"Look, the old man's eyes are blurry, and he didn't see that Mr. Tao brought the beautiful lady. Please don't be offended, young lady. I will prepare some delicious food so that you won't go hungry."

As he said this, he staggered off to prepare food.

Shi Nuanyu responded with a graceful smile.

"Slow down, old man. We are not in a hurry."

Tao Huiyan looked at her with a smile, surprised at Shi Nuanyu's calmness.

"Your Highness is gentle and kind to others, and is a true role model for the royal family."

Shi Nuanyu rolled her eyes at him and exposed him without any hesitation.

"You are curious about why I don't despise this place and even speak to the old man in a friendly manner. There is no need to praise me so much."

She was so tired from trying every step that she couldn't even have a proper breakfast.

But it’s pretty good now. At least the male protagonists no longer want to kill her. Of course, someone from Ningxiangju has to be eliminated.

Understanding the meaning of her words, Tao Huiyan bowed and apologized.

"I am narrow-minded. I hope Your Highness will be magnanimous and forgive me."
