When Lin San hears about the matter of learning in the palace, the girl is totally excited and completely forgot about her mother. She keeps on walking here and there to prepare the things she will bring upon reaching the palace. When they finished with the lesson, the princess servants gave them the pass. If they show it to the guard, they can enter the palace.

Chun Maora is still feeling depressed over her grounded, but she still keeps a smile when her daughter mentioned going to the palace.

“Lin Hong, I will be going to the palace! You will be in charge to take care of mother this few days!” Lin San said happily.

Lin Hong nodded, “Mother is going to be alright. Concubine Sie won’t make things difficult for her.”

“What do you know,” Lin San stretched her tongue out.

Lin Hong sighed at his playful sister, “Anyway, just do your best there.”

“Of course, who do you think I am?” Lin San said proudly. Compared with Lin Yuan, she has been learning under the very best teacher from the starts. Her skill in etiquette is far better than most people. Especially if she compared it with people like Jun Hua, there’s no way Jun Hua can beat her in such a short time.

Under the teaching of people from imperial family, Lin San is sure that she will be able to advance even further and become better. She’s the main wife daughter of Lin family, there’s no way she will waste this chance.

Concubine Sie is happy for her daughter. She has been reviewing the husband candidate to choose someone suitable for her daughter.

“When you return, mom would have finished with your husband candidate. Don’t worry about anything and do your best there.”

“Of course mom,” Lin Yuan doesn’t want to embarrass her mother. She may be only a concubine born, but she certainly has good lessons.

On the contrary, Jun Hua is still busy learning the needlework with Madam Xie helps.

“You have been focusing on needlework lately, what about the other?”

Jun Hua lips pursed. She can draw pretty well because she has been drawing maps to make strategy and she could do math. As for music, there’s no way she could play the zither* nor the likes. She could only play one musical instruments which is not something she could presents.

The etiquette she had learned is quite good. Despite only learning for 1 week, Jun Hua can imitate it perfectly due to her past training as soldier. She needs to have good grasp of her body movement which enables her to imitate the graceful movement. It’s still slightly unnatural, but it’s enough to make people sees her as a dignified young lady.

The reasons she chooses embroidery is because it’s the most useful. She wants to have at least some practical skill she could use and embroidery becomes her number one choice, “It’s the most useful.”

“This is the one Miss fare the worst,” Xia answered the real reason.

“….”

Jun Hua wants to knock Xia mouth for blabber about that one. She sighed and continues to move her needles.

Xia watched her miss struggle, “Miss, why don’t you treat it like your training?”

Her training? Jun Hua still remembers when she’s holding the sword and had to practice from morning until late at night. They won’t let her go rest before she could do it right. Then there is also the training to control her body movement and let her feel everything up to the tiniest touch on her finger.

Jun Hua stared at her finger and remembers that feeling once again when she could perfectly control her movement. Jun Hua closes her eyes for a while and when she opened it again, her hand started to move in high speed. It lasted for a few minutes before Jun Hua is completely drenched in sweats and she stopped.

Madam Xie peered to the silk and she’s completely startled. Xia smiled slightly.

On the silk that previously only has a very few lines, now there’s a beautiful shape of a flower. The color of the flower is red because Jun Hua only uses the red thread, but it’s still very beautiful.

“Miss, you’re amazing,” Madam Xie is stunned.

Jun Hua looks towards the flower and sighed. This is the first time she uses her martial arts to do other things than fighting. Although it’s useful, it’s really tiring. At least, she has cut short the time required to make the embroidery.

“Your skill has improved a lot. You can now make it easily,” commented Madam Xie.

“It’s not really easy… besides, I have been training a lot lately,” Jun Hua doesn’t have any energy left to continue her training. Using high concentration to finish up needlework is truly a waste of her martial arts and energy. At least after this she will have easier time to do embroidery as she had once done this.

“Next time, I will teach you some advance technique,” Madam Xie said.

“After I returned from the palace will be a good time. For now, this is enough,” Jun Hua doesn’t really have any interest towards embroidery and it’s only because she needs to learn something as a girl that she chooses it. If it’s possible, she just wants to pass off her days lazily.

Xia nodded, “Right, Miss, who will come with you to the palace?”

“You and Xiao Yun,” Jun Hua answered, “Remember to teach her the manner of the palace.”

“Leave it to me, Miss,” Xia answered confidently.

Jun Hua asks Madam Xie to prepare additional food because she has used up most of her energy to maintain high concentration for a couple of minutes. Even though she has just eaten some food, she already feels hungry again.

Madam Xie hurriedly prepares the food for Jun Hua. As Jun Hua eats, the servants girl are all busy preparing for things she needs in the palace.
