Flowers Bloom From Battlefield

Ming Hui face grew dark when she noticed her brother. "What are you doing here?"

"I"m visiting my little sister," Yan grinned. "Anyway, I have just gotten news that Lan Ping went back to the border upon arriving."

"Which border, the one nearer or the one farther?"

"Of course the farther one, if it"s only the nearer one it will be like how Jun Min usually goes to train his soldiers or Soujin when he"s bored and won"t take much time. That Lan Ping kid is feeling pressure from the two genius" appearance."

Ming Hui nodded. "He ought to be anxious. Anyway, how is the condition of the city you bought?"

"It has improved well and is starting to give me profit," Yan"s eyes gleamed. "Now I wonder when the old man will need more money. I"m willing to buy another city from him."

Ming Hui rolled her eyes. "If father knows that Young n.o.ble Han is you, he will surely vomit blood out of rage."

"Let him be," Yan eyes turned colder for a moment before returned to the usual playful one. "What kind of girl did you pick?"

"She"s a very straightforward kind of girl."

"Straightforward? There"s only Jun Hua and Fan Lanying that I know. You actually chose that tomboy? What do you see in her?" Yan"s eyes grew wider.

"You won"t want to know," Ming Hui answered calmly.

"You won"t even let your brother know?" Yan made a puppy-eye look.

"…."

In the end Yan was kicked out from Princess Hui"s residence. The prince didn"t feel bothered about it and only laughed as he walked to the place where the n.o.ble girls are training for their etiquette. The palace didn"t restrict a prince from walking around except if he"s going to the harem.

He looked towards the girls who were training hard to walk diligently from the side. The way they walk had improved by leaps and bounds. It should be expected since they have been training for close to 2 weeks now.

Looking at these girls, he found an interesting one who was wearing a veil even though there were only girls in the hall (excluding this prince). He found that the girl"s physique was exceptionally beautiful and she was quite good at walking gracefully. Although hers was not the best among all these girls, it was close to it.

As he was wondering whether he should walk over to them or not, someone already noticed him.

"Prince Yan! This lady greets Prince Yan."

With that they all kneeled in greeting. Yan could only ask them to stand up and smiled apologetically towards the fuming Teacher Xun.

"You sure have a lot of spare time, Prince Yan."

Hearing a hint of sarcasm in her words, Yan force himself to smile. "It"s not really that free Teacher Xun. I heard that a lot of pretty ladies are here so I"m walking over to see them."

The faces of many girls already turned dark upon hearing Yan"s words. Even Teacher Xun was not an exception as she smiled coldly.

"Since you have time to look at pretty ladies, maybe you will also have time for an a.s.signment?"

Cold sweats started to pour out of Yan"s back as he smiled stiffly. "Teacher Xun must be joking. I"m busy and I will take my leave now."

Saying his farewell, Yan bolted out from the hall before Teacher Xun had any chance to speak again. When Yan left, she dismissed the cla.s.s and only one girl left, Jun Hua.

"Teacher Xun, do I still need extended lesson today?"

Teacher Xun looked at the pet.i.te girl and she smile softly. Among the girls she had ever taught, this girl in front of her was the best one. Despite having to repeat the same movements, she never voiced any complaints and silently did her best. After two weeks of training, she was already closer to become one of the best students among this batch of ladies.

"There"s no need for that today. I have to meet with that playful prince and scold him first."

Jun Hua nodded and left the training hall. She didn"t return to her room, instead she headed to the garden. Both her hands and her feet had been tormented heavily over the span of these two weeks. The result was worth it, but it was hurting her so much. She needed some time to rest.

Jun Hua took a seat on the garden alone. Xia and Xiao Yun were staying in her room since servants were not allowed to follow their Miss during the lesson. Jun Hua was enjoying the cool breeze and the wonderful view of the flowers in front of her. Then her expression changed slightly.

"h.e.l.lo Miss, what are you doing here alone?" Yan appeared and smiled towards her.

Jun Hua stared at that man partially grumbling. She had sensed that he was near, but she did not expect him to just approach her out of nowhere! Just what was in the mind of this annoying prince?

"Looking at the flowers," Jun Hua answered in a low voice.

Yan stared at the flowers with question. He couldn"t see anything special with them aside from being a bit beautiful. Alright, he didn"t understand how a girl"s mind works.

"Don"t believe on Teacher Xun"s words completely," Yan grinned. "I"m not a bad guy."

Jun Hua certainly could not believe him. Having interacted with this prince as Jun Min, she had already seen him being so annoying and getting beaten up a few times. Despite his acts of chasing after girls, he was actually quite a capable man with a second ident.i.ty. But the way he appeared when seeing a beautiful woman was very obvious and didn"t seem like he was faking it.

Seeing the suspicion on Jun Hua"s face and her wariness, Yan scratched his head in confusion. Was his name truly that bad? He knew that he had been famous as a troublemaker but that shouldn"t make the girls hate him, right? There were only a few occasions when he had to act like a complete scoundrel, but it was only an act, alright.

"I"m really a good prince. I won"t hurt you too," Yan said, but he didn"t step any closer. The little girl looked like she was ready to bolt out at any time if he dared to come any closer.

Yan felt troubled, but when he was about to say another sentence, a person appeared.

"Just what are you doing here, Third brother?"
