brow and looked at Wang Jinyan. Wang Jinyan rejoiced at the news and gave Lady Wang a big hug. ”You are the best, Mother!” But she drew her hand back with a hiss.

Lady Wang frowned and took Wang Jinyan's hand. At a closer look, she saw the holes caused by the needle. Some were still bleeding. Lady Wang immediately felt protective towards her daughter. ”Look at you. How come?”

Wang Jinyan pouted and withdrew her hand. ”The needle for embroidery is most difficult to handle, much more troublesome than my pike. It just won't listen to me. I want it to make flowers, but all it has done is hurt my hand.”

Lady Wang sighed. ”You don't have to learn that anymore. Go and have fun with Her Highness.” Then she curtsied to Yun Shang and exited.

Yun Shang teased Wang Jinyan. ”I didn't know that you would surrender to a small needle.”

Wang Jinyan wasn't embarrassed at all. ”What's the big deal? It's nothing special anyway. What I'm good at, such as horse-riding and archery, is even more challenging for other girls in the Imperial City.”

Yun Shang couldn't help laughing, but she didn't forget the purpose of her visit. ”Where is your brother? I need to see him urgently.”

Wang Jinyan knew that when Yun Shang used words like urgently, the situation must be critical. But still, she teased Yun Shang. ”I thought you are here for me. You've broken my heart. All right, I'll take you to see my brother.”

Yun Shang patted her hand and said, ”Naughty.”

As Wang Jinyan said, she wasn't the only one suffering these days. Wang Jinhuan was living an even more pathetic life. In order to convince him to get married soon, Lady Wang had collected portraits of all the ladies of the right age to send to Wang Jinhuan.
