“Soujin, you’re telling me that the boy is alright?” Yan looks at his best friends disbelieving.

Soujin nodded. “I have sent people to investigate the cliff. It’s a trap Jun Min had prepared for Lin Hong. But at the same time, he helps us.”

Yan laughed. “You should see the emperor faces when he heard that something unexpected happened right when Representative Han is there. It’s truly an eye opener!”

Ming Hui rolled her eyes. “At least you don’t need to become the troublemaker again this time and focused on developing that city.”

“Why can’t you do it in my stead?”

“I’m a princess.”

“…”

Soujin shakes his head as he sips his tea. “There will be some peace for some time. It’s time for you to be low-key.”

“Don’t worry about it.”

“I understand.”

…

Jun Hua continues her study in embroidery that night while the next morning, she goes to the school as usual. Lin Yuan and Lin San are not going to the school that day because of some matter.

“Jun Hua, I heard that there is a big matter happened,” Fan Lanying approached Jun Hua the next day. The news has spread out to the whole place in the capital and many people are mocking the Lin family. They also lamented that the ability Jun Min had shown when he’s protecting the boy become useless in the end because of that boy own brother.

The name of Jun Min becomes even more famous as many people talks about it. Jun Hua is feeling troubled with it, but there’s nothing she could do. In the end, she asks Yamin to return to the border and pose as Jun Min to avoid the Jun family residence get flooded with people who want to get close. Even then, the numbers of people who are coming visiting Jun Zhenxian keep increasing rapidly.

Jun Hua lets the servants to do the job of rejecting all the invitation except if it’s coming from the palace. Luckily, those princes didn’t bother with her because they’re busy with the problems that have happened recently.

“I think that the entire people in capital have known about it,” Jun Hua said.

Fan Lanying nodded. “You’re correct. I’m shocked when I heard about it. Now I feel that I’m lucky to avoid the hunt event. If not, probably I won’t be able to sleep for days.”

Jun Hua had just remembered that there are some women there. She hadn’t calculated that they would come to see her right after she finished dealing with the assassins. Besides, who asks them to come when they’re certainly that afraid?

“How’s your embroidery?”

“I can barely pass,” Jun Hua answered. She picks up her silk and shows it to Fan Lanying. The flowers she had sewn are beautiful to look at. Although it cannot be compared to the professional, at least it’s still passable.

Fan Lanying looks at the flower. She’s astonished at how quick Jun Hua manages to learn. There are still a lot of mistake, but even she herself cannot said that she can do the same only after learning for 2 months.

“You’re a quick learner and your control over your finger is amazing.”

Jun Hua nodded. Inwardly she said that of course her control is good, she had been learning how to control her body movement perfectly for years.

“How about learning the others now?” Fan Lanying asked.

Jun Hua shakes her head. “I better focused on my embroidery first. Too many to learn won’t help me become better.”

“At least your footwork is good. I won’t have the same patience with you to do it.”

“No one asks you for that.”

Fan Lanying nodded. “Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Princess Hui asks me to become one of her private guard after this semester test. She needs a girl who is skilled in martial arts. Since I’m quite good, she asks me about it.”

“Congratulation then,” Jun Hua grinned.

“Next semester, I won’t be here. Are you going to be alright?”

“Of course I am. I won’t go to school again after this semester end.”

“Why?”

Jun Hua cannot explain the true reason. She just smiled at her. “I’m going to learn at my home.”

“Your home, are there anyone who can teach you there?”

“At least in embroidery there is.”

Jun Hua and Fan Lanying chatted for some time before it’s time for the lessons to start. Both of them are learning diligently. Fan Lanying knows that this is her last change to study at the academy, so she’s using this chance well. Jun Hua is still as usual, she’s learning at her own pace.

For the people in the capital, that one month is truly peaceful as there is no big event happened. Only in some places there are some things happened such as the Lin family residence where Lin Tang is still angry. Chun Maora is being grounded for a month and the power is given to Concubine Sie. Concubine Sie didn’t dare to do anything drastic though for she’s afraid of Lin Tang who’s still angry. Lin San returned to school after a week while Lin Yuan is still busy preparing for her marriage.

The other place is the palace where the emperor is angry because such an event is happened during an important time. The representative of Young Noble Han is displeased and the emperor doesn’t want that person to go towards the other country to pay for them. He’s truly angry, but he cannot do anything other than getting angry towards the officials. After a period of time, the court is getting peaceful again.
