"YOUR HIGHNESS, I'M SORRY"

Chapter 21

Jiang Yanyue was with all smiles reading a letter she just received from the Northern border while caressing the torquise colored pendant of Li Yijun.

The letter just contained a short message of Li Yijun thanking her for the gift she sent and also asking her to take care of herself but it's already enough to fulfill her day.

She cannot also get enough staring on Li Yijun's calligraphy that is even more beautiful and elegant than hers.

Everything about Yijun seems to be beautiful and amazingly good, he's a revered General, good at archery, chess and his calligraphy was also very beautiful. He really seems to be literate and seems to have been studying since young. Maybe he was also good at painting and making poems. Maybe he also knew how to play some musical instruments! I should really ask him next time.

With Yijun's skills he would surely pass the Imperial exams. I wonder why would he choose to enter military instead of becoming an official in the court just like his brother.

Wenbian was just on her back combing her hair. Seeing Jiang Yanyue fell into deep thought staring at the letter she cannot help but shake her head with a smile.

She looked around Jiang Yanyue's room and noticed that Jiang Yanyue's bedchamber have slowly became covered with things colored in light blue. The vase, the decorations, the carpet, even Jiang Yanyue's casual dress she's wearing right now and even the ornaments she's using are colored in light blue and even the pastries and food she prefers to eat.

Wenbian have noticed Jiang Yanyue's interest in collecting things that are colored in light blue. Wenbian have seen the enchanting blue eyes of Li Yijun and she understands that this is how Jiang Yanyue is coping up on her longing to Li Yijun.

Jiang Yanyue would even asked if the color suits her everytime she wore new ornaments and clothes colored in blue and she would helplessly agree.

"Wenbian when do you think Yijun would come back again" Jiang Yanyue asked, the yearning in her voice is hard to ignore.

It has been weeks since Li Yijun left but Jiang Yanyue felt like it has already been years.

"If the Emperor were to request for them to come back to the Palace" Wenbian answered nonchalantly and Jiang Yanyue's eyes lit up.

"Should I just ask Emperor father to summon Yijun in the Capital? I really wanted to see him"

"Your Highness must not decide out on a whim. General Li have responsibility to help maintain peace in the Kingdom and the Northern border is very far. It takes long days of travel, General Li will surely be exhausted going back and forth to the Palace and Northern border" Wenbian quickly reasoned out afraid that Jiang Yanyue would really go and do as she say.

Jiang Yanyue pout as she once again gaze on the torquise Jade pendant before putting it on a fancy looking casket together with the letter. Inside the casket contains Li Yijun's other letters.

Jiang Yanyue carefully keep the casket like it was full of treasures.

"Wenbian is right" she said sadly

"Your Highness should not feel too sad, General Li would eventually come back to the Palace in the New Year."

Jiang Yanyue just smiled. New year is still very far.

Wearing light blue Palace dress she decided to go out and visit her sister. Bringing Wenbian together with rows of maids and servants following behind her.
