Jun Hua had heard about things women had to experience during their puberty, yet she never thought that hers would be this severe. Her stomach hurt dreadfully and Jun Hua knows that she won't be able to move too much anymore. This is only the second day and she already feels this worse, what about the rest of the day?
Xia attentively prepare a hot ginger water for Jun Hua. Although Jun Hua didn't order her so, she knows very well the pain a woman experienced when it's their first time, especially during cold times like this.
"Miss, drink this first, you will feel better afterwards," Xia said with concern.
Jun Hua nodded her head and poured the warm water into her throat. She feels that the martial art she has is useless in term of facing these kinds of things. Hopefully, she would not experience the same dreadful pain next time.
She looks outside with longing feeling. Just before she could easily sneak out and enjoy the warmth sun, now she had to stay on her bed all day. How she misses her healthy condition greatly.
Xiao Yun comes inside with a letter, "Miss, Lady Lanying will come here in a short while. She said that she and Princess Ming Hui would visit you."
Jun Hua face darkened at the mention of Ming Hui's coming. He is a man, alright, why did he have to come to her place during this time? As for Fan Lanying, she will be lying if she says that she didn't miss the other party since they could only meet for a couple of times.
"Help me change my clothes," Jun Hua raises her hand.
Xia come forward and helps Jun Hua up. She feels that her Miss is really small and light. This makes her wonder just how this thin arm could possibly hold that much power to the point the big general have to use their full power when they face against her.
The little princess changed her clothes and put a light makeup on her face to hide her pale complexion. After struggling for a while, she manages to maintain a good sitting position in the living room, ready to greet anyone who comes.
It didn't take long for Fan Lanying and Ming Hui to come visit her. Fan Lanying face gleams with happiness at the sight of her best friend.
"Fan Lanying, Princess Ming Hui," Jun Hua greeted. Inside her heart she feels that she is really being used to call Ming Hui a princess. She genuinely doesn't want to call him that way. If only she is dressed as Jun Min, she would just call his name directly.
"Jun Hua, how's your condition after resting in the Jun Family territory for a long time?" Fan Lanying asks and takes a seat near her.
The other people never knew that Jun Hua wasn't in the territory, but rather in the battlefield. She didn't tell anyone with the exception of Soujin who find out by himself and Ming Hui along with Yan who hears the news from Soujin. From the way Fan Lanying talks, it seems she didn't know that Jun Hua was in the battlefield.
Jun Hua smiled, "I'm fine, Lanying. Did anything happen during your time working as the guard?"
Fan Lanying shakes her head, "I rarely works and mostly accompany Princess Ming Hui to learn many things. She is really knowledgeable."
Hearing that from her best friend, Jun Hua mouth twitched a little. If only Fan Lanying knows that Ming Hui is a man, she would not get close with him at all. Still, it's good to hear that Fan Lanying has a rather leisure day during her time as guard.
Ming Hui looks towards Jun Hua's expression and put a wry smile. He comes here because Soujin tells him to check on her because he found her to be feeling unwell. In his opinion, she looks perfectly fine and didn't show any sickness, or did she hide it?
"It seems I would be the only one left as the worst lady in the capital," Jun Hua joked.
Fan Lanying pursed her lips, "Don't say it like that. It's not like you're that bad, you're just not used to play the musical instrument. If you learn for a long time, you might be able to play it really well."
"Thank you," Jun Hua smiled. She knows that it's possible. The problem is she doesn't have the will to learn the zither anymore. Those days of learning from the academy are more than enough for her.
"Oh right, I brought you some pastries. Which one do you like?" Fan Lanying ordered her servant to bring the pastries to her. She takes them out and put the pastries on the table, instantly fills out the entire table with food.
Jun Hua mouth twitched when she looks at the number of pastries Fan Lanying brings. Did she want to open a store or eat them all?
"I don't think you should have bought this much. I won't be able to finish them all by myself."
"Don't worry. We will help you," Fan Lanying grinned.
Jun Hua steals a glance at Ming Hui only to find the other party has a helpless expression. She should have expected that he won't be able to refuse the little lady request to buy this much food. It seems like she has to be prepared to gain some weight today.
While eating the pastries, Fan Lanying tells her the interesting stories from the capital during the time she is away. Fan Lanying is quite a story teller as Jun Hua found the stories to be really interesting and she gets to hear some interesting news. But not all of them are good news.
"Oh right, Jun Hua, do you remember Madam Mu?"
Jun Hua nodded her head. There is no way she would forget about that old lady. Madam Mu is her teacher who taught her about manner last year. If not because she is away on the battlefield, she would have known about the matter in the capital clearly.
Fan Lanying wore a troubled face, "Madam Mu has grown old and a few months ago..."
"I see," Jun Hua nodded her head. It's not like she didn't think this would not happen, but it's just really quick. Although her contact with Madam Mu is short, and she mostly gets scolded, she is still feeling grateful for the other party.
"My mother said that she saw Madam Mu smiles when she peers at her body," Fan Lanying added, "I guess she is already tired and accepted her fate from long ago."
Jun Hua nodded her head. They are all human and there is no way they could escape from dying. The question left would be how they live their life and what the result of their life is.
"When I die, I want to be like her, able to smile and accept everything without regret," Fan Lanying said with fervor.
Jun Hua nodded. She wants that too, but only after a long life. She ponders for a moment, "Did you still want to go to the battlefield?"
"Of course! I want to become the first female general in Ming Kingdom!" Fan Lanying said in determination. There is no way she would give up from that dream at all.
She would require a lot of luck and skill if she wants to survive in the battlefield with her personality. Jun Hua erases those thoughts since she knows that Ming Hui will do something to ensure her safety. That man wouldn't want to lose his future wife, right?
Jun Hua shifted her gaze to Ming Hui and silently mouthed out, 'Good luck.'
Ming Hui put a wry smile, but he nodded his head. He knows what he had to do even without her telling him.
