Flowers Bloom from Battlefield-Chapter 18: Miss… Please have mercy 2
18 Miss… Please have mercy 2
Jun Hua stayed in her room for a long time before putting her books away and started to dress herself up. Just like before, she carefully rubbed a face mask to make her skin darker before tying her hair up. Then, she donned a blue robe made with delicate materials and embroideries.
Jun Hua stared at her own reflection on the mirror. After some thoughts, she decided to do a bit makeup on her face to make her look more masculine. Satisfied with her work, Jun Hua walked outside.
Jun Zhenxian was playing chess with Madam Mu on living room. Soon as he caught a glimpse of Jun Hua, his hands shook in surprise, almost dropped a chess piece he was holding. Whenever he saw Jun Hua dressed as Jun Min before, the 'boy' only casually dressed up. Today, however, Jun Min had taken careful measures to dress up and portraying a perfect handsome scholarly young man.
Meanwhile, Madam Mu was speechless as well. This was the first time she saw that a person can be a beautiful young girl and a handsome young man at the same time. She knew that Jun Hua had very good features. However, she never expected to see that whenever she put on a man's clothes, she would transform completely. Her face was different than before, but there were still some similar features left.
"Grandfather, Madam Mu, good afternoon," Jun Hua greeted.
"Good afternoon, Jun Hua! What are you doing dressed up as Jun Min in a broad daylight such as this? Not to mention you dressed up so meticulously!" Jun Zhenxian felt his own heart bursting in his chest. How could his granddaughter be even more handsome than his own son? He cannot take it!
Jun Hua chuckled. "I want to pick up my little sister from the academy."
"Little sister…" Jun Zhenxian vision blanked. What sister? Ah, the one who passed off as Jun Hua in the academy must be her bodyguard. This little rascal was surely out of his mind today. What plans did she have by going out as Jun Min to the academy? Stealing the hearts of the countless maidens?
Madam Mu ignored the raging Jun Zhenxian as she examined Jun Hua carefully. Indeed, this young lady could easily pass herself off as a boy. Her manner of walking was completely different than yesterday when she was still learning etiquette. In addition, because of her experiences being a general, there was an undeniably domineering aura around her.
Not bad, not bad at all.
"Little Hua, it seems you're better at passing off as male rather than your real identity," Madam Mu teased.
"Please don't make fun of me, Madam Mu. Hua'er is only dressing up like this because there is something I need to do."
Madam Mu nodded. "When you're dressing up as male, you need to make sure that your posture always straight…"
Madam Mu started to help Jun Hua improve her disguise as a boy. Jun Zhenxian stared at the two women from the side helplessly, but he didn't dare to interrupt them. Half an hour later, Madam Mu wrapped her quick lesson up when she felt satisfied with how Jun Hua acted very manly.
"Alright, you can go now. I doubt there'd be anyone who will recognize that you're a girl."
"Thank you Madam Mu."
Jun Hua was surprised and genuinely appreciated Madam Mu's efforts to improve her. She did not expect that Madam Mu also knew about young male's manners, postures and whatnots. From their short lecture, Jun Hua learned a lot of things that she didn't know before.
"Grandfather, Jun Hua will be going out for a while."
Jun Zhenxian nodded. "Fine, you may go now little rascal. Whatever you do, I will support you."
"Thank you Grandpa."
Jun Hua felt a deep gratitude towards her grandfather. Although he would usually act shamelessly, he was also the one who cared for her so much in this entire world. He often spoiled her, and let her do what she wanted, as long as she didn't make a huge damage nor cause too much trouble. All he wanted was for her to help the Jun family to rise up again.
After bidding farewell, Jun Hua got into the carriage and headed to the academy. Her plan was simple, but she was sure that the after-effect will be huge and would definitely cause some anticipated commotion. If she didn't create a ripple within the capital, there was no way she could remain calm.
…
In the academy
Yamin barely managed to remember the lesson today. She was not really good at counting and numerical calculation as she would usually do things by instinct. In the first place, she was a bodyguard, so it was logical that she didn't learn much about it.
"Today's lesson is really tiring," Fan Lanying stretched up her body. "Don't forget to revise your work again. You wouldn't want to be left behind."
Yamin secretly rolled her eyes. That was, if she had to disguise as Jun Hua again. If her Miss asked her be Jun Hua again, then yes, she will need to study further or she will be certainly left behind.
"Look, your servant is already here. Let's go."
Yamin stared at the door, as expected Xia was standing there looking worried.
Xia heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Yamin walking towards her. She arrived at her side and bowed respectfully.
"Miss, it's time to go home."
Yamin was about to nod her head when she heard a commotion. She turned towards the direction of loud cheering and saw all girls who were all screaming and cheering loudly. It was as if someone important was arriving. Fan Lanying headed towards the entrance hall and stood frozen.
Xia and Yamin followed after her and they too cannot find themselves move. They saw a handsome young man standing in front of the Jun family's carriage. The boy was astonishingly stunning, a beauty that couldn't be compared. Although he was still young and his face was a little bit more feminine, the aura he was giving off was totally domineering. A lot of those girls were already looking like love-struck fools around him.
Even Xia and Yamin had to swallow their saliva down. Never did they expect that when Jun Hua decided dressed up scrupulously, she will be this handsome. With that kind of face, only a few boys could match up to her. And with her appearing in front of so many young girls, how could they possibly stand against that charm?
Xia needed a long time to calm herself down. In her heart, she begged her Miss. 'Miss… Please have mercy!'f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚
