Feng shui slowly knocked into the general's study
"General, second young miss is here to see you"
He pust aside the paper he's been reading for almost half a day.
"Send her in"
Feng shui informed Ming Yue that she would go inside, Ming Yue politely thanked feng shui and went inside. ' Aiya... where did second young miss learned this etiquette from '
Ming Yue bowed and greeted general, general was pleased looking at Ming Yue, she was looking very cheerful brimming all with life, yet she had a calm demeanor. He gestured her to sit down as they both started chatting.
As the maid finished serving the tea and snacks and was dismissed, Ming Yue suddenly spoke and said
"Father, Yue Yue is here to ask for a favor''
Being a little astonished as Ming Yue never asked for anything, this was the first thing she ever demanded in her whole life
"What is it?"
he asked
"Father , I want to learn cultivating."
"why?"
" Father I want to grow strong. I want to fight for myself alone not with the help of anybody. I don't want anybody to look down on me."
"But girls don't cultivate much, will you be able to cope up with the cultivation?"
"Yes father, Yue Yue is willing to do anything to grow strong. Father , please grant Yue Yue this favor "
He saw a fire in her eyes , the kind of determination that he once had , she surely was his child, he gave into her will as he thought she herself will retreat later.
"Fine, I'll assign you a teacher "
"No. Father, I want Father to teach Yue Yue. How could there be a better mentor than Father?"
Hearing his daughter praise him made his heart swell with pride and joy, since it was the first request his daughter ever made him , he readily agreed and said that they will start their practice when she totally recovers.
After settling this with her father she was returning to her courtyard when she saw Li Mei, the third miss's daughter. Li Mei was a year younger than Ming Yue, she still had a lot of baby fat but she was really cute. Li Mei possessed beautiful brown hair just like her mother. Though Li Mei was small she was quite a schemer.
Li Mei and Ming Yue were quite close previously. Li Mei had a crush on the tenth prince- ever since she saw him on Ming Yue's 10th birthday. Since Ming Yue was really cherished by their father, Li Mei befriended Ming Yue in order to get close to crown prince. Li Mei always degraded Ming Yue in front of the crown prince, though it was not allowed but crown prince was too busy to protect her.
"Jiejie, how are you?"
Li Mei asked her with innocent eyes as if she was not the one to push her at the first place
"jiejie, I was so worried for you, but i couldn't visit your chamber because of mother*sob sob*"
"Third young miss need not worry for me."
Ming left in a flash leaving Li Mei all by herself.
Li Mei was astonished by Ming Yue's behaviour as they used to be very close previously.It cannot be that she had found that she was the one who had pushed her to lake right?But Ming Yue was very naive and predictable, so much that her thoughts could be seen on her face, so Li Mei didn't think much and shrugged the matter off.
Ming Your went to her courtyard and lied down in her bed,
'Since I am here, I'll have to grow strong, heavens know how long I'll be here'
A silent breeze passed through her window.
Ming Yue went near her mirror to look at her new face, Ming saw a reflection of an astonishingly familiar face.
It was her face!
She never cared about her looks but now to look at her she was beautifully made, she had an ethereal and radiant beauty that captivated those around her. With her porcelain skin, delicate features, and eyes that shimmer like moonlight, she exuded an aura of both innocence and strength. Her long, flowing ebony hair cascaded down her back, accentuating her graceful figure. Ming Yue's beauty is not just skin-deep; it emanated from within, reflecting her kind and compassionate nature.
Though she was in a 14 year old's body but she knew that body would develop beautifully.
Ming Yue had not recovered fully so she went to sleep again.
