"Xia... do I have to wear all of it?" Jun Hua eyes twitched as she stares at the mountains of jewelries located on the table.
Xia put on a wry smile, "The princess gives you additional jewelries and added with the one you bring, there are a lot of them..."
Jun Hua feels a headache. There's no way she would want to wear all of them on her head. Do they think that her neck is made of steel? These kinds of jewelries make up from gold are heavy and she doesn't want to use them at all. If possible, she wouldn't want to wear them.
"Just pick a few..."
Xia acknowledges it and pick from the jewelries given by Princess Hui. She doesn't dare to use too much since Jun Hua never wants to wear so much in the first place. Without accessories, her beauty already unparalleled, with additional accessories, it's like she is going to snatch the whole world attention.
Jun Hua only wears two hairpins. One is the one given by Princess Hui and the other one is the one she bought when she's going out as Jun Min. There are some bracelets from the princess that she wears too. She picks an exquisite blue dress and let Xiao Yun do her hair.
Xiao Yun has been used with this work so she can make Jun Hua looks even more dignified. After she's done, she looks towards the mirror. The blue dress fitted her perfectly and with her preparing herself more than usual, she looks really beautiful. The dress she chooses is simple, it's not standing out too much while also not appearing too mild.
Xia sighed to herself. If Jun Hua were to dress up every day, there will be no man bear to look away. Even though Jun Hua is dressing so low-key, her exquisite stature and face would undoubtedly attract many attentions. She hoped that the princess wouldn't accuse her Miss of stealing the spotlight.
Jun Hua is satisfied with the way she looks. Despite her hope to appear low-key, there's no way she could do it with this kind of face and body. Jun Hua picks up her veil and uses it. She won't allow those guys to see her face so easily.
Finishing with her appearance, Jun Hua goes out to meet with Fan Lanying. Today Fan Lanying also dressed exquisitely and appeared more beautiful than usual. She doesn't wear a lot of hairpins but there are still a few of them. The color of her dress is yellow and it looks even grander than the one Jun Hua wears.
"You look pretty," Jun Hua said with smile.
Fan Lanying sized up Jun Hua, "Even when you're dressing so simple, you still look very beautiful. I bet many girls will envy you."
"It's not like I can choose how I look," Jun Hua shrugged.
"Let's eat first. The party will only begin in an hour."
Jun Hua and Fan Lanying both sneak out some food to eat. Waiting the party to begin is long and it will be better to do it with the stomach full. The two of them soon returned to the hall where countless guests have come and started their conversation.
The girls who have undergone the training become the spotlight before the princess come. They have become more elegant and refined. Many noble are praising them saying this and that.
Jun Hua looks around and soon found Chun Maora. It seems that for occasion like this, Lin Tang cannot let the world know that his wife has been grounded for 3 weeks. Chun Maora look thinner, but she certainly won't allow others to see her looking weak. She stays by Lin San side and praises her daughter to the heaven.
Concubine Sie didn't come, but Lin Yuan has many friends she could talk with. Since this is Princess Hui birthday party, they only invite the official wife and not the concubine. After all, Princess Hui is merely a lady and she doesn't need to associate with the concubine.
"Lanying, that's your mother."
Fan Lanying eyes light up. She quickly strode to where her mother is and started to talk with her. Jun Hua watches the scene from the side without any intention of going over. Seeing that the place will soon crowd out, Jun Hua chooses to sit down in one corner and looks toward the other side of the palace.
Woman and man place are divided. Princess Hui also invited the male, but they cannot get in so the other princes are 'accompanying' them in other place. Later, Princess Hui will make an appearance, but not for a long time.
Jun Hua turned her gaze and found that Fan Lanying have walked towards her with her mother. Fan Lanying mother is elegant and noble unlike the girl. The only similarities they had are their face.
"Jun Hua greets Madam Fan."
Madam Fan, mother of Fan Lanying, sized up Jun Hua and smiled. "You are truly as beautiful as the rumors said. Thank you for accompanying my daughter in her study."
"It should be me who thank you," Jun Hua smiled. "Lanying has helped me a lot."
"What are you saying?" Fan Lanying laughed. "Of course I will help you, we are friends."
Madam Fan seems satisfied with what she sees from both of them. She has been worried that because of her daughter tomboy behavior, she won't have any friends. But after a while, she found out that her daughter has gained a new friend.
At first she feels discouraged when she heard that the other party is Jun Hua. The whole capital knows about her uselessness and how she cannot even do the simple embroidery, painting, and others. But looking at the girl now, Madam Fan knows that even with her uselessness, she's a good friend for Fan Lanying. As long as they can be friends, why should she care about other matters?
"You're still young, learn as much as you can from the academy," Madam Fan advised. She doesn't want this girl to always bear the name of useless. The girl is still so young, she has many potential.
Jun Hua nodded. She can feel Madam Fan concern for her. Although she would definitely learn a lot, she still answered Madam Fan politely. Then they heard the eunuch announcement.
"The imperial family has arrived!"
