After Marrying a Vegetative Princess, I Went Crazy With Joy!

Chapter 41: A Month of Ordinary Life!

Su Li was busy styling Princess Changles hair in the princesss residence while the female officers and maidservants smiled warmly at the scene.

Su Li was not originally skilled in styling womens hair. Although men in this era also kept long hair, compared to women, mens hairstyles were usually simpler and rougher. Some men just wrapped their hair in a cloth or tied it up in a simple bun. Su Li used to do the same when he worked in the fields, and many people who had experienced hardships would do so as well.

Indeed, heavy physical labor and flowing long hair were not very compatible. Later, when he became a son-in-law, he naturally had maidservants to help him with his hairstyle. Mens hairstyles were relatively simple, and he quickly learned how to do them with a little practice. They were not as complicated as womens hairstyles, which had more styles and were more intricate.

Since Su Li had taken full responsibility for grooming and personal hygiene for the past month, he naturally intended to take care of tasks such as combing, washing, and styling her hair on his own as well. Indeed, even though mosquito legs were short, they were still considered meat, Werent they?

As a result, Su Lis dedication to grooming her earned his appreciation from the female officers and palace maids. In this era, grooming a womans hair could be considered a sign of marital affection, but washing and styling a womans hair could be seen as inappropriate or against social norms. More accurately there was a slight element of trying to please someone of lower status.

Su Li was naturally unwilling to sacrifice his points for the sake of social conventions. After all, even just grooming and styling her hair would take an hour. If he didnt do it himself, wouldnt he lose more than 3,000 points for nothing?

As a result, after Su Lis persistent requests and the refusal of the female officers, he took matters into his own hands and personally took care of grooming her, including washing and styling her hair.

From waking up to going to sleep, Su Li had taken full control of Princess Changles daily life, including grooming, with very little interference from the female officers and maids, except for necessary times such as meals and using the restroom. Indeed, styling hair might appear simple, it could be challenging to learn and master. Su Li also put a lot of effort into learning a few simple hairstyles for women. It didnt matter much since Princess Changle was still asleep, and there was no need to worry about wasting time. Su Li had plenty of time to practise.

Gently cradling Princess Changle in his arms, Su Li carefully wove her long hair.

The way you handle this, my lord, if others were to see, it would surely cause quite a disturbance, the female officer said with a smile.

Indeed, in this era of feudal society, even a simple act like tying hair could be seen as lacking in dignity. Gender equality was not a prevalent concept during this period.

That was true. Su Li was not a female activist advocating for gender equality. His motivation was solely to earn points by taking care of Princess Changle and performing tasks assigned to him.

Indeed, it willnt be appropriate for others to see such things in my household. If anyone finds out, it will be seen as a failure in managing the servants under my jurisdiction! Su Li chuckled lightly as he spoke.

After another month of getting along, the female officer fully accepted Su Li, and the two of them became familiar with each other. Indeed, as the female officer oversaw the affairs of the princesss household as the chief steward and held authority in the princesss household as an elder, Su Li did not distance himself from her and maintained a cordial relationship.

Su Li appreciated the proactive attitude of the female officer in sharing information about the personnel and power distribution within the princesss household, as well as seeking his guidance and instructions. He found it helpful in understanding the household dynamics and carrying out his responsibilities effectively. He also made sure to acknowledge and appreciate the efforts of the female officer, fostering a positive working relationship between them.

However, as Su Li was busy accumulating points and trusted the female officer, he continued to entrust all the affairs of the princesss residence to her for management. Indeed, the female officer occasionally cracked harmless jokes between the two of them. After all, Su Li behaved like a devoted husband, as if he couldnt be separated from Princess Changle even for a moment.

Indeed, Su Li willingly took care of Princess Changles personal grooming, including combing her hair, with great joy and contentment.

Yes, in that era, it could be considered quite unusual for a man to willingly and happily take care of his womans grooming tasks, such as washing and combing her hair. Su Lis actions demonstrated his deep affection and devotion towards Princess Changle, which could be seen as touching and heartwarming.

After all, in most peoples eyes, this would be seen as shortsighted and lacking ambition.

Ive heard it all. If any of you blabbermouths spill the beans, I willnt spare you! The female officer grinned at the maidservants nearby, and they giggled and nodded in agreement.

Thanks to Princess Changles gentle and considerate personality, as well as her fair treatment of others without resorting to flattery, the atmosphere among the staff in the Princesss Mansion was actually quite pleasant, especially among the female officers and maidservants who interacted with Princess Changle the most.

The female officer naturally wouldnt let such matters be spread outside, as it would tarnish the image of the Dukes son-in-law. But the Dukes son-in-law was willing to do these things out of his affection for the princess, and they had no reason to stop him.

In Su Lis arms, Princess Changle also shared the same sentiment.

Although this was not the first time Su Li, her husband, had combed and styled her hair for her. But every time during these moments, when Su Lis gentle fingers danced among her hair, Princess Changle felt an overwhelming warmth spreading throughout her body.

Su Li had truly achieved perfection in every sense of the word. A thoughtful and gentle man in every possible way.

Even if this man was a peasant without a prestigious family background, extraordinary literary talent, unbeatable military achievements, or the demeanor of a dashing gentleman, Princess Changle had fallen deeply in love with Su Li, unable to extricate herself from his charm.

Even at this moment, Princess Changle had begun to fantasize about their future life together.

Will Su Li always be like this? After I wake up, I will also comb my husbands hair and tie it up! Princess Changle thought.

She no longer fantasized about romantic dates that made her heart flutter. On the contrary, she started to fantasize about the ordinary life she could have with Su Li in the future.

When she woke up in the morning, she imagined herself tidying up her husbands hair and washing his face. Her husband would also weave her hair into a beautiful style. Then, she would prepare a simple but delicious breakfast for the two of them, just enough for them to enjoy. In the morning, they would spend time together, cuddling and going wherever they wanted to go.

She would still cling to her beloved in the afternoon and ask him to tell her stories. In the evening, they would bathe and shower together. And then, they would fall asleep in each others embrace. They would repeat these seemingly routine yet infinitely joyful days day after day.

Su Li had done so much for her that she was even more eager to do more for him.

Okay! Get the hairpin now Su Li easily braided and coiled her hair, carefully fixing it, urging the female officer to hurry up and hand over the hairpin. Gently inserted, the green silk cascaded down like a waterfall.

Oops I have to do it again Princess Changle smiled, filled with gratitude and warmth towards Su Li.

He shook his head gently, picked up the hairpin, and said, I thought I could do this new hairstyle I learned today in one go, but it seems like I overestimated myself.

Su Li lowered his head and looked at Princess Changle, whose eyes were half-closed. The princess had fair, delicate skin that seemed as delicate as a blown bubble. The scattered light from the window illuminated her face, making her radiant like a fairy from a realm beyond the ordinary world.

This is also quite good Su Li looked at the petite Princess Changle in his arms, and the memories of their shared moments kept playing in his mind like a slideshow. Such an ordinary life was not as tedious as one might expect. They spent another month in the princesss residence, which seemed to be a thousand times the same, but Su Li was happy with it.
