371 Peaceful Ti
Xiao ng smiled back, "I want to have a chat with you, Princess Hua."
"Well, then, let's hope that we can have a nice chat," Jun Hua replied with a smile.
The two of them quickly engaged in the talk about several matters. Although the cultures of the two side of the land were different, there were still a lot of similarities. Before long, several hours had passed and the two of them managed to talk about a lot of things.
"Princess Hua, I always find things in this kingdom to be very interesting. What I really want to know the most is about culture. It seems to be very different from the kingdom where I co from," Xiao ng stated calmly.
"There are indeed so differences," Jun Hua lightly tapped the table. "I believe that you have learned about the history of the two areas that were separated by the large rivers."
Xiao ng chuckled. "There are more areas beyond this one river. The world is very vast, and no one ever knows for sure how far it is."
"You're very knowledgeable, Princess ng. So parts are harder to cross because of the terrain, and the water is one of them. Before the river becos this big, the two areas are one and we have similar cultures. I believe that hundreds of years have passed since then, allowing us to grow differently."
"Indeed, I can hardly believe that the two places are one before."
Jun Hua shook her head. "Even if we have so differences, I believe that many of the things are still very similar. The way a ruler leads the kingdom and the rules for won are pretty similar."
Hearing the point that Jun Hua stated, the smile on Xiao ng's face deepened. There was no secret about how the culture seed to be so different, yet at the sa ti, there were so many similarities. A few decades or perhaps hundreds of years were not enough to erase the differences so drastically.
After all, the river was not completely full barrier and if they were determined enough, they could pass the mountains where the river first started. The two places were still in the sa mainland.
"Shall we talk about other things? I still have so other curiosity, Princess Hua."
"I do have so questions as well," Jun Hua chuckled. "The foremost is how a princess like you could retain your youthful face."
"You flatter …"
Jun Hua was very careful in her speech and only talked about superficial matters. Even when Xiao ng tried to divert the conversation into a more sensitive topic, she still handled them rather well and guides the topic back into the previous course. Xiao ng had to back down several tis before she finally gave up.
"The sun has set, it would be better if I don't disrupt your rest, Princess Hua," Xiao ng said politely.
Jun Hua smiled back, "Thank you for your visit, Princess Xiao ng. Please co again in the future."
Xiao ng nodded her head and followed after Tang Xuan's lead to leave the residence. Steward Du followed after them from behind with his usual silent and cold face as usual.
Jun Hua leaned back on the chair feeling rather exhausted. In any case, talking was not her forte, and she was not that proficient in talking. If not because Qin Shie often ca here and talked to her about those matters and taught her a little, she wouldn't be able to fare against that princess at all.
"I really wonder how those who co from the imperial family can live with their tongue," Jun Hua shook her head.
Soujin pulled the door open and walked into the room. He was hiding behind the room all this ti because Jun Hua didn't want him to intervene in the talk with the other woman.
"It's not like they keep challenging each other 24 hours a day," Nanglong Soujin remarked, "It's just a norm because there is nothing else they could do in the palace aside from battling with other people."
Jun Hua would never want to live in a world like that. Thankfully, if she didn't beco a general and raised her rank into that of a princess, she wouldn't have any chance of marrying a prince since family status would make it awkward should she beco a concubine. Even after she had raised her rank, they still didn't show any interest because she was only a little girl far younger than them and there was no way a princess would beco a concubine.
"She's truly an interesting princess, but I don't like her way of trying to gain more information through talking with ," Jun Hua had to admit that the girl possessed more ways of talking than she thought. It was as if she was facing Yan's girl version, but far na?ve and innocent.
Nanglong Soujin crossed his arm. "I think she doesn't really have much choice. The information about so sensitive matters is completely hidden with only a handful of them know. You just happened to be one of them."
Jun Hua pouted her lips. She watched as the man moved to her side and caressed her head. "You have done well. People from Gu Yue Kingdom are all very cunning."
"How many people from Gu Yue Kingdom have you t?"
"Just the three of them," Nanglong Soujin answered calmly.
Jun Hua was speechless. "How can you generalize them when you only et with three of them? Not to ntion that they are all part of the imperial family."
"It's my instinct."
"Are you telling that you have sharper instinct when you can't even guess that I and Jun Min is the sa person?"
Nanglong Soujin: "…" Stop rubbing on my wounds!
"Hey, why are you ssing my hair?" Jun Hua tried to shake the man's hand from her head. It was taking her a long ti of sitting in the sa spot, waiting her servant to finish the hairstyle. She was not going to let him ssed them up!
"Nothing," Nanglong Soujin answered as he retracted his hand. "At least, Tang Xuan is staying quiet all the ti during the conversation."
If that man had tried to butt in or anything, he would not hesitate to barge inside and interrupted them. Sohow, the sight of that man was terribly annoying for him to the point that he didn't want to see him getting closer with his wife at all.
"He's too quiet in my opinion," Jun Hua shrugged. The Tang Xuan she t before was far more active than now.
"It's better for him to be quiet. Now, let's rest early," Soujin pulled Jun Hua carefully and carried her in his embrace. He found her to be heavier compared with before, though it was to be expected with her belly already raised.
"Don't drop ."
"I won't. Although you have beco heavier, you're still light in my opinion," Soujin said with a smile.
"…and why did I beco heavy in the first place?"
As the two bantered, Soujin brought her back to their room to have a rest while the servants were busy cleaning up the room.
