23 Spar (1/2)

Yan proved to be proficient in choosing jewelries. It seemed like he knew everything in this store like the back of his hand. Ming Hui could freely choose anything she wanted and Yan ended up buying dozens of jewelries.

Jun Hua herself only picked one hairpin. She didn't have that much money to begin with, and her coming here was only to show face. Meeting with Prince Yan was an added bonus she didn't expect.

”You only bought one?” Yan asked.

”Yes, I just bought one on impulse since I rarely come to the capital,” Jun Hua answered.

Yan nodded. ”Hui'er, do you want to head back first? I want to go to training hall.”

”I want to come, too.”

”Okay, just stay behind me.”

Ming Hui nodded her small head cheerfully. Yan smiled in return before turning his head towards Jun Hua.

”You want to go there too, right? Let's go together.”

Jun Hua thought for a moment before accepting his offer. The training hall was not that far, and the cheerful Ming Hui kept on walking here and there. She seemed like a girl who had never gone outside before.

”Ming Hui has a weak body and she often stays in the palace. I rarely have time to take her out so she wants to make it to the fullest.”

”I see.”

Jun Hua stared at the girl jumping here and there to see everything. Somehow, she found the princess was quite strange, but she could not point her hand on what made her feel like that. The princess was just like any innocent girl out there.

However, Jun Hua could not continue observing Ming Hui, since Yan started to talk to her. Different with Soujin, Yan was really a talkative person. He often talked about daily things and other. Beside him, Jun Hua barely followed through as the topics were random. By the time they arrived, she hardly remembered what they talked about anymore.

”Soujin, have you arrived?” Yan said loudly.

A man came in their view. Soujin was wearing his training clothes and because he had been training himself since morning, his clothes were already drenched in sweat. With Soujin's handsome face, this appearance somehow looked extremely alluring.

”Yan, Ming Hui, and Jun Min,” he greeted. ”Why are you coming together?”

”I met this fellow when I brought my little sister for a walk. Since he has a sparring appointment with you today, I chose to come here with him.”

Soujin stared at Yan. ”After I finished sparing with Jun Min, you're next.”

”Wait, why? I have not recovered yet from the beating you gave me before!”

No matter how much Yan protested, Soujin refused to listen to him. Beside him, Ming Hui let out a very girlish giggle and let her brother to get bullied. Jun Min also laughed as she didn't have any intention to help the poor Prince Yan.

”Never mind, let's play chess first Jun Min. This man is still in the middle of training.”

With that, Yan dragged Jun Hua to the table and let the servants prepare the chess. Looking at the chess set in front of her, Jun Hua smiled. She was quite good at playing chess, now she wanted to know how good Yan skill was.
