Jun Hua ended up staying quite late to learn about embroidery from Xiao Yun. The little girl doesn't know how to teach, but she can show the way to Jun Hua and let her learn by herself. Xia cannot force her Miss to stop and only manages to persuade her after it's late at night.

Although she doesn't have enough sleep, Jun Hua still wakes up early in high spirit. She has been used to not have enough sleep so just lacking a bit won't hurt her at all.

"You seem to be in high spirits. Don't you know that today Teacher Xun is going to, butcher us in walking?" Fan Lanying expression is not good. She's not sleep deprived, but rather she's worried about today lesson which makes her doesn't have good mood.

Fan Lanying reminder caused Jun Hua moods to dampen.

"Let's just hope we can survive."

The girls are all lined up and walk after Teacher Xun. She walks in dignified manner but her steps is weird in Jun Hua eyes. As expected though, she cannot follow it properly and sway from time to time.

In contrast, most of the noble girls can follow Teacher Xun lead well. They walk dignifiedly and elegantly. Lin San is among one of the best and she's certainly proud with herself. Lin Yuan only average, but it's still quite good.

In the end, Teacher Xun cannot bear to look at how Jun Hua walks and told her to stay behind. Even Fan Lanying is still far better than her.

"Miss Hua, do you realize that your way of walking is still wrong?"

Jun Hua nodded embarrassingly.,"Yes, I know it Teacher Xun. Please instruct me."

"Follow after me," Teacher Xun said coldly. From that morning until late at night, Jun Hua is tormented by Teacher Xun teaching to walk properly. This kind of walk is hard for Jun Hua who has only learn the simple one from Madam Mu but she soon grasped how to do it correctly. After an entire day learning, she finally does it correct.

Teacher Xun is highly surprised with Jun Hua progress. She had seen for herself how Jun Hua cannot even walk straight but after a day of the lesson, the girl already mastered the move. The way she moves is still a bit stiff but it's already correct and she could walk straight without swaying.

Fan Lanying and Jun Hua sneaked out during dinner to eat on the garden. Their servants prepared the table as the two of them eat cheerfully.

"It's good to get away from those girls. I cannot stand seeing their faces anymore," Fan Lanying said while grinning. "But really, your progress is too much. How can you be better than me after one day of learning?"

"You should call it an intensive learning," Jun Hua said.

"Still, you're really amazing. Maybe because of your family good comprehension, they can produce so much genius," Fan Lanying said with envy.

Jun Hua is startled, but she just laughed it off. While there are genius in her family, most of them have already fallen into the traps of enemies. Even before she was born, her family has started declining. The glory is only something of the past and the current genius of Jun family is in fact just a little girl.

Fan Lanying stared at the moon. Today is a full moon and it looks really beautiful.

"Looking at this moon reminded me of a tale my mother used to tell me," Fan Lanying smiled. "She always said that the first day she married my father, it is a full moon."

Jun Hua raised her head, "Maybe you will get your change soon."

Fan Lanying sneered, "I have held back for a year, do you think I could pass this year examination? There is already a lot of mocking I heard."

Jun Hua remembers that Fan Lanying is older than her by one year. She doesn't know the reason, but Fan Lanying entered the school late. Unlike her though, Fan Lanying started from the first class when she's 14 years old.

"Why not? You're not the worst in class," Jun Hua grinned.

Fan Lanying smiled in return, "Considering that both of us are the worst in class, I wonder why we are chosen."

"It's because of your family."

A soft voice comes to their ear. Jun Hua and Fan Lanying turned their head to see a beautiful woman walking towards them. Her face is pretty, but she's wearing a veil. Her dress is fluttering along with the night wind as she walks towards them.

"Jun Hua (Fan Lanying) greets Princess Hui."

Seeing the two of them kneeled respectfully, Ming Hui laughed dryly, "Don't be so stiff, just continue your banter."

Now Jun Hua is speechless by this princess conduct. If at first she's kind towards her because she has been dressed as Jun Min, what is the reason for kind behavior today? She has not met with her before and Jun Min only mentioned Jun Hua once at buying the hairpin when they coincidentally meet.

Not only Jun Hua, Fan Lanying is also stunned by the princess behavior. They're completely stranger, but the princess acted as if they're close.

Seeing the confusion in their eyes, Ming Hui smiled, "Both of you are interesting. Why are you eating outside like these? Don't you worry about the chill?"

Fan Lanying shakes her head, "I'm used with training so this kind of wind is nothing."

Jun Hua already wears a cloak, so she didn't know what she should say. Ming Hui also didn't bother to pressure her into answering.

"How's the lesson in the palace?"

"Boring," Fan Lanying blurted out, "I don't mean any disrespect, but I hate learning this kind of things."

Jun Hua nodded her head in agreement.

Ming Hui laughed at their response, "Both of you are really interesting. Normally girls would love to get the chance to learn, but you don't like it."

Fan Lanying shrugged, "This kind of things is useless. I want to become a general in the future, so I don't like learning this."

"It's tiring," Jun Hua reasoned out. When Ming Hui heard the soft voice of Jun Hua, she's stunned a bit. When the girl talk normally, her voice is pleasing to ear but when she's talking in a soft voice, her voice turned to be alluring and gentle.

Ming Hui turned her head to Jun Hua, "Your voice is really beautiful."

"Thank you for your praise," Jun Hua herself doesn't understand. Which part of her voice is good? From the side, Xia wants to bury her head in her palm as she realizes that her Miss hadn't realized that her voice is truly pleasing to ear.
