128 Painting 1

Ming Kingdom Capital

After a long journey from the Mountain Kingdom, Jun Hua finally arrives in the Capital of Ming Kingdom once again. The people in the city are still in the excited mood because of the happiness in winning the big war.

Jun Hua just looks at them with a slight smile. She orders the driver to send her back to the residence.

"Xiao Yun, what are you doing here?" Jun Hua had returned back to her original appearance when she returned.

"Young Miss," Xiao Yun curtsied. "There is a guest."

Jun Hua is confused as she asks, "Who?"

"General Soujin."

Jun Hua regretted changing into her appearance right now. If Soujin were to look for Jun Min, then she can only gives some excuses for him.

"Why is he here?"

"He wants to look for Princess Hua."

Jun Hua rolled her eyes in secret. Does he come here because he cannot see her from that time again? But why is his timing so precise? He comes right at the time when she returned. With resigned feeling, she walked to the hall.

Nanglong Soujin got the report from his spies that Jun Min had returned. Since he had returned, Jun Hua should have come back with him. He wants to see the girl since he's bored because he is not allowed to use the sword by his friend and doctor.

He looks up to see a small petite girl comes inside. The girl's way of walking is refined, similar to the palace noble, but she doesn't only have that. The little girl looks straight at him with annoyed eyes that she didn't even bother to hide. Soujin lips curved upwards when he sees that.

"Is there anything General Soujin need?"

"I was intrigued by your painting. Do you mind painting a few more for me?" Soujin said half-joking.

Jun Hua glared at him. She's not his maid, why would she want to draw a painting for him? If he wants a good painting, he should have searched for a painter and not her.

Soujin finds the girl amusing. He had clearly only interacted a few times before, but every time he looks at her reaction, he would find her interesting. He smiled.

"I want to take you outside to see a beautiful view."

Jun Hua eyebrows rose. She was used to go outside as boy, but it doesn't mean she knows the good place on the capital. Why this Soujin is suddenly asks her out?

"Then, you can paint it."

"…"

She truly wants to reject him. Soujin notices her reaction as he speaks again, "I'm sure that you will find the view to be interesting. At least it would be better than staying in this residence and do nothing."

Does this man spy on her? Jun Hua seriously considering whether she needs to retrain her guards strictly again. Still, he is indeed true on that matter because as an unmarried lady, she is not allowed to go outside as she wishes, not that she couldn't sneak out, though.

Jun Hua wants to refuse, but considering that he might not willing to bring her if it's Jun Min, she chooses to agree. After all, why would he bring Jun Min to that place he claimed to be interesting? He can't possibly ask a general to paint for him, right? If the place is not good, she will change her clothes and bother him for the rest of the day.

Xia wants to come to accompany her Miss, but Soujin had pulled her into the carriage before she got the chance. It was only then Jun Hua remembers that she's a girl today which resulted in her glaring at Soujin. He shouldn't have pulled her into the carriage! If only her martial art is not lower than him, she will seriously give him a lesson.

"What is it, little girl?"

"You're not really a gentleman, are you?" Jun Hua said with displeased tone.

Soujin just laughed. "I was just worried that you might change your decision."

"Nonsense!"

Outside the carriage, Lou is handling the horse with complicated feeling. His young master is up to something again and this is the first time he saw him have an interest towards a girl. Still, do they have to argue so much? Their voices are crystal clear in his ear.

Jun Hua got the feeling that this man has the capability to get on her nerves over and over again. Why should he come and bother her? There is countless other whom he could go and annoy. She turned her head away and refused to look at that man.

Soujin didn't mind. He looks outside. "Take a look outside."

Jun Hua peered outside. The townspeople, who were previously looking down on her, are now looking at this carriage in reverence. She had long forgotten about them for she knows that whoever goes against the emperor won't end in good condition. Those people are just avoiding her because they know that they will be targeted by the emperor if they don't.

"I forget you're now a prince."

Soujin smiled at her remark. This girl is really blunt and told him everything on her mind really clearly. By it from word or from action, all of them portrayed what she thought and wanted to convey. Such a girl is really adorable.

His gaze shifted to her veil. He wants to see that beauty once again, the flawless face, which can make even a man like him astonished. He raised his hand…

PLAK!

"General-Prince, don't be shameless," Jun Hua said coldly.

Soujin retracted his hand. Why is he moving so thoughtlessly? It's so unlike him.
