Jun Hua meets with Fan Lanying before going to her lesson the next day. Fan Lanying seems really cheerful and happy about her lesson compared to when she needs to learn etiquette.
“You seem to be really happy.”
Fan Lanying nodded, “Princess Hui asks me to accompany her choose jewelries. I have been wanted to go outside for a while, so I’m happy.”
Jun Hua smiled. “Then you better pick up a good one for her.”
“Of course I will.”
After chatting for a while, Fan Lanying goes to meet with Ming Hui. At first, she feels awkward to stay near the princess but after a while she enjoyed it very much. Princess Ming Hui is really gentle and kind so Fan Lanying truly happy to stay here.
“Princess Ming Hui, Fan Lanying have arrived.”
Ming Hui put down the book she had been reading and nodded to the servants. Fan Lanying get inside the room and greet her formally.
“Let’s go to the city.”
Fan Lanying nodded, “Yes Princess.”
Ming Hui asks carriage for both of them. Fan Lanying is surprised to see the princess allowed her to stay in the same carriages with her but she complied. Talking with the princess in the carriages is more fun than staying alone.
“Do you go outside often, Princess Hui?”
Ming Hui shakes her head, “I don’t have good constitution, so I rarely go outside. Staying in the palace has given me so much time for learning.”
Fan Lanying nodded. She had seen the princess ability in poetry, etiquette, and much more. Even she herself had to admit that the girl in front of her is probably the noblest girl. If only she knows how Ming Hui acted behind the scene and the cold words she uttered towards her brother, she would never think this way about her.
“We have arrived.”
Nevertheless, Fan Lanying enjoyed her company and she could even talk freely to her. In front of Ming Hui, she doesn’t feel like standing before an imperial family member.

Jun Hua stays on the class much longer than the other girls. Teacher Xun gives her additional pointer which allowed her to progress so much in short time.
“Two days later is the birthday party. Tomorrow all of the girls will stay in their room to prepare themselves. You don’t have to learn again tomorrow.”
Jun Hua nodded. She had already learned so much and it’s impolite to ask for more. After going through all of this, she will challenge anyone who says that she doesn’t know any etiquette. Walking outside the hall with tired body, Jun Hua meets with a scene.
Lin Yuan is standing before Lin San as the two of them hold a certain box. If Jun Hua guess is not wrong, it should be the jewelries Concubine Sie buy for Lin Yuan. Lin San found out about it and she attempted to snatch it. Jun Hua sighed deeply. Lin San already has so much jewelry, why should she try to take things that don’t belong to her?
“First Sister, Second Sister, is there anything wrong?” Jun Hua asks politely.
Lin San wants to nod, but then she thinks about it again. In the first place, it’s her fault for trying to get the jewelries. With reluctance she chooses to let it go. If Jun Hua has a bad impression of her, what will happen about her goal in getting close to her brother?
Lin Yuan is relieved to see Lin San let the box from her grasp. But of course she won’t try to make Lin San name worse.
“It’s nothing. It is only a misunderstanding,” Lin Yuan said.
Jun Hua nodded, “You should take some rests. There is no lesson tomorrow and we need to prepare ourselves for the birthday party.”
“We will. Thank you.”
Jun Hua leaves the two of them as they stared dagger at each other. She doesn’t want to get involved with their argument if it’s unnecessary.
“Lin Yuan, don’t think that because your mother gains the hold of Lin family management, you can live freely,” Lin San said coldly.
Lin Yuan face fell. She knows that nothing good will happen once she provokes this pair of mother and daughter. But at that time she doesn’t have any choice anymore. It’s either do it or never at all. Lin Yuan never regretted her decision and she will stick to it until the very end.
With deep breath Lin Yuan stare at Lin San. “It’s not like I don’t know but I don’t want my live to be ruined by you. Whatever you and your mother planned, why don’t you try it?”
Lin San has never seen Lin Yuan this brave, but it only makes the light in her eyes turn even colder. She smiled without any mirth.
“Do you think my brother will make it easy for your mother? Don’t be happy too soon,” Lin San said as she walks away.
Lin Yuan remembers Lin Hong. Although Lin Hong usually stays quiet and never talks much, she knows that the boy is truly smart. Most of the schemed Lin San did were his plan. Lin Yuan is worried about her mother but there is nothing she could do about it.
Lin Yuan holds the box with trembled hands. She never asked for a lot of things, only thing she needs, why would they never let her go?
Jun Hua never stays far away as she is only one room away from them. She hears the conversation clearly and she knows that Lin Yuan will face an even bigger challenge from now. After Lin San is experiencing this backside, she will not take it lying down. But Jun Hua doesn’t want to interfere with them for now.
“Miss?” Xia notice the change in Jun Hua expression when she arrived.
“Xia, let’s go,” Jun Hua said and leave. Xia has just come and found her Miss thus she doesn’t understand what is happening. But hearing her words, she just complied.
