40 Going to the Palace (2/2)

”….” These two answers made Madam Xie speechless.

Jun Hua wanted to knock Xia's mouth for blabbering about that one. She sighed and continued to move her needles.

Xia watched her miss struggle. ”Miss, why don't you treat it like your training?”

Her training? Jun Hua still remembered the time when she was holding the sword and had to practice from morning until late at night. They would not let her rest before she could do it right. Then there was also the training to control her body movements and let her feel everything up to the tiniest touch on her fingers.

Jun Hua stared at her fingers and remembered those feelings once again when she had been able to perfectly control her movements. Jun Hua closed her eyes for a while and when she opened them again, her hands started to move at high speed. It lasted for a few minutes before Jun Hua was completely drenched in sweats before she stopped.

Madam Xie peered on to the silk and she was completely startled. Xia smiled slightly.

On the silk that previously only had a very few lines, now there was a beautiful shape of a flower. The color of the flower was red because Jun Hua only used the red thread, but it was still very beautiful.

”Miss, you're amazing,” Madam Xie exclaimed.

Jun Hua looked at the flower pattern she made and sighed. This was the first time she used her martial arts to do things other than fighting. Although it was useful, it was really tiring. At least, she was able to cut short the time required to make the embroidery.

”Your skill has improved a lot. You can now make it easily,” commented Madam Xie.

”It's not really easy… besides, I have been training a lot lately,” Jun Hua didn't have enough energy left to continue her training. Using high concentration to finish up the needlework was truly a waste of her martial arts and energy. At least after this, she would have easier time to do embroidery as she had done this once.

”Next time, I will teach you some advanced technique,” Madam Xie said.

”Once I returned from the palace will be a good time. But for now, this is enough,” Jun Hua didn't really have any interest towards embroidery and it was only because she needed to learn something as a girl that she chose it. If possible, she just wanted to pass off her days lazily.

Xia nodded. ”Right, Miss, who will go with you to the palace?”

”You and Xiao Yun,” Jun Hua answered. ”Remember to teach her the proper manners at the palace.”

”Leave it to me, Miss,” Xia answered confidently.

Jun Hua asked Madam Xie to prepare additional food to replenish her energy. She used up most of her energy to maintain high concentration for a couple of minutes. Even though she had just eaten some food, she already felt hungry again.

Madam Xie hurriedly prepared the food for Jun Hua. As Jun Hua ate, the servant girls are all busy preparing for things she needed in the palace.
