156 Peaceful Time (1/2)
After the festival, Jun Hua takes her time to visit Lin San. Lin San's marriage is set in a month, so she wants to help her preparing for things despite having no knowledge about it. Lin San laughed out so much seeing Jun Hua confused over the small matter.
”I can do it by myself. You can just accompany me for a walk,” Lin San said with a smile.
Jun Hua nodded. It seems she had been making fun of herself. At least, it was fun and she learned about things she needs to prepare for marriage. On the side, Madam Xie is busy explaining things that woman would needs upon marriage.
Lin San prepare the tea for Jun Hua.
”You shouldn't prepare it yourself,” Jun Hua said.
”It's alright. You're the princess now,” Lin San answered. Her tone is light and her eyes are more tranquil than before. After staying in this residence for some time, she no longer feels the hardship she experienced in Lin family residence. Because of that, she feels peaceful.
”I'm sure that you will be a splendid princess,” Jun Hua smiled.
”Oh, that. Thank you very much to your brother for his effort. I was really surprised when I heard the emperor decree,” Lin San is truly happy.
Jun Hua knows that Lin San wouldn't have any more trouble in the household of Ming Xiao. Ming Xiao doesn't have any concubine and Lin San will be the only mistress there. She won't experience the dread of fighting with other women again.
”The imperial family is not simple. You will have your own share of trouble on the palace. Just remember to be a dignified lady and follow the rules well. Stay within your compound and don't wander off too much.”
Ming Hui had told her a bit about the palace and how hard it is to pass of as woman there. There are a lot of people wanting to make a fool out of each other and their mouth is sharp with hidden blades. Jun Hua cannot talk like them, but she knows that even at small action would incite even more trouble ahead. That imperial family is not peaceful as they can kill without doing it by themselves.
Lin San smiled. She obviously knew about these things better than Jun Hua. From her childhood, she had seen her mother fighting with the people on the house and trying her best to win against them. The hidden meaning behind words, she may not be proficient in it, but she knows the basic and with her knowledge of their battle, she can fare better.
”You don't have to worry. I know my limitation and things that I need to do. I have lived between people who are fighting with their tongue too,” Lin San said with a reassuring smile.
Jun Hua nodded. ”Take care of yourself. I can't help you more than this.”
With each of their plan coming into fruition, even she cannot be sure about the fate of the imperial family anymore. There will be changes happening in the future and many people will be dragged in it. Lin San probably would realize it too and at that time, she needs to act better and try to achieve her own happiness.
”Yes, it was already plenty,” Lin San nodded.
