48 Preparation for the Birthday Party (2/2)

Jun Hua raised her head and looked towards the other side of the room. Her mouth slightly curved up.

On the other side of the room, Ming Hui was standing behind the window. She knew that Fan Lanying had asked her to borrow this room and out of curiosity, she went here. Looking from the window, she was able to see the girl move around with a wooden dagger in her hand.

”Princess?”

Ming Hui was startled at the call from her maid. She smiled slightly. ”When everything is done, remind me to take her inside.”

”Yes Princess.”

Ming Hui stared into the room again and this time she noticed another girl inside. The girl was sitting calmly while watching Fan Lanying move around. No matter how quick Fan Lanying was, the girl never showed any sign of fear or any reaction.

Then the girl raised her head to look at Ming Hui. Ming Hui's smiled deepened. She had just found the girl from the Jun family was as interesting as her brother. They didn't bear the name of Jun family for nothing.

”Let's go.”

”You don't want to come inside, Princess?”

Ming Hui shook her head. ”No need. There will be other chances to meet them again. Besides, there will be a show I need to prepare first.”

Jun Hua noticed their presence becoming fainter and she knew that Ming Hui had left. Jun Hua didn't think much about it and continued to look at Fan Lanying's practice. It took the girl almost three hours before she was satisfied.

”How's it?” Fan Lanying grinned.

”It's not too bad,” Jun Hua answered.

”What is not bad?” Fan Lanying lips pursed. ”I'm better than my brother you know, at least in the past. He won't be able to beat me on normal condition.”

”That might change after this,” Jun Hua said. Fighting in the battlefield was completely different from training in the training hall. She had experienced it by herself. The reason her uncle let her join the army at the mere age of 11 was not only to help him, but also to let her gain more experiences and grow stronger. People could only grow faster when they were under pressure.

Fan Lanying nodded. ”Father is unfair. I want to join the army too and become the first female general of Ming Kingdom!”

Jun Hua was speechless. The first female general… she should have taken that title already if she didn't hide her identity. The current law still prohibited women to join the army. Thus, before the law would have to change, she could not let anyone know about it. Besides, lying to the emperor was a big crime.

Speaking of lying, there were many other people who lie to the emperor. Jun Hua knew that the number of loyal officials was very few.

”Let's eat. I'm hungry after moving around.”

”Alright.”
