Is it just my phone, or have the long strips become nearly impossible to read on mobile? I have to perform obscure and intricate thumb tapping rituals in order to turn to the next page.

I have to use the Resize button to get turning to work, even if the images are fine.

Should work better now, after complaining on Discord.

"I still had a lot of tricks up my sleeve..."
"You can still use them on me!"

Should we be adding Idiot couple tag henceforth? :3

Also, it looks like we're getting front seats to the scene of General Tantai's newest conquest. :D

I like that the she's so frustrated to see the General she took it out on the grass. Gird your loins, General, battle will soon be joined.

"Frustrated" or "excited?"

Our princess has wants of her own as well. ^_^

Thank you!!

This chapter was cute too. I like to see the emperor smiling.

don't underestimate yu dingdang

Cats DO smell like fresh sunshine. Particularly impressive since in theory they should smell like cat drool after licking themselves that much.

Adorable. ^_^

There is a "That's what she said" joke in here somewhere.

Well, I'm glad that the General thought her less disruptive means to deal with her emotions - the Empress Dowager has been a bad influence in more than one way.

I think she's looking for the kind of battle where you UN-gird your loins.

Looks like another flawless victory for the general. :-)

Smoooooth...

Wonder what the implication of nicknaming her "canary" is. The only reference I can think of is the phrase "canary in the coal mine," which doesn't seem applicable. So why is she that bird over any other songbird that might be kept in a cage?

She's simply using the terminology used by her new favorite textbook, of course. Now why the author of that chose this particular bird, that's quite another question...

If this manga devolves into these two pairs and puts the politics subplot on the back burner, I wouldn't mind.

Me too, girl, me too.

You been hit by, you've been struck by, a smooth general.

Oh, thank God I wasn't the only one to go there.

She is excited about stone skipping. Princess is either a kid or already madly in love.

She does seem to enjoy having Tantai Lan teaching her. Especially the part that involves "angling her hand a bit, and using her wrist".

You could feel her swoon a bit.

Who knew the Princess could make a face like that. Nice job General.

Do we know for certain this is the bird being named in the original? It might be a translation choice for a familiar cage or song bird for a more unfamiliar word in Mandarin?
