Flowers Bloom from Battlefield

Yuan Kingdom

Fan Ying had gotten the message that the two generals would return back from the other kingdom pretty soon. Because of that, he came to the riverbank early in the morning. Upon seeing how these two used the rope to cross the river once again, he felt that there would be no peace around these two people.

”Fan Ying, you’re here!” Jun Hua exclaimed happily.

Fan Ying quickly snapped and bowed politely. ”Your subordinate, Fan Ying is here, Princess Hua.”

”There’s no need to be so polite. I stayed here only for a short time before, so I don’t have the time to look around the city. Do you mind if I listen to the report while walking around?”

”It’ll be my pleasure, Princess.”

Nanglong Soujin also arrived on the riverbank. He gave Fan Ying a nod. ”Don’t forget the detail regarding many matters, Fan Ying. I want you to give completely report.”

”Yes, General!”

As the result, Fan Ying went through the entire detail of the matter that happened in this place after Jun Hua had left. The previous emperor had died due to old age and now, the ministers were the one taking care of this place. Ming Hui already left the place to visit the Ming City again and gave a good bashing for Emperor Ming Yan.

Aside from that, this city has grown much more over the course of time. There were more things that looked rather strange to Jun Hua, but the people here were already used to find interesting items. Many of them were things that she would never be able to find in the other part of the kingdom.

”You should find a way to transport them to the capital, Fan Ying,” Jun Hua remarked as she looked towards the store on the side.

Fan Ying smiled wryly. He is a general, not a merchant. ”Prince Ming Hui had already planned to have them delivered to the capital city, Your Highness. It might take some time to be implemented, but Prince Ming Hui already has the entire plan for this.”

”That’s good.”

Jun Hua nodded with satisfaction. She turned her gaze to the direction of the training hall. If she was not wrong, there would be a lot of people who learned the martial art from Gu Yue Kingdom over there as she recalled that many of them looked rather unfamiliar for her.

Nanglong Soujin waved his hand in front of Jun Hua’s eyes. ”Don’t even think of going to train. We have to go back to Ming City after the inspection has finished.”

”I want to train martial arts,” Jun Hua pouted.

”I don’t want you to stay here for a long time.”

”Just one more day.”

Nanglong Soujin frowned. He knew that it would be hard to convince Jun Hua otherwise. He thought about another matter. ”Nanglong Shou is waiting.”

Hearing the name of her son, Jun Hua quickly erased the thought of staying here anymore. She only managed to spend a few days with her son before departing to the Gu Yue Kingdom because of the message that she received. Recalling the matter made her wanted to return as fast as possible to meet with her son.

Nanglong Soujin noticed that Jun Hua turned silent at the mention of their son. His face darkened slightly. Although he liked the fact that Jun Hua loved their son, he got the feeling that she would care more about the brat rather than him.

That was not something he wanted to happen.

By the side, Fan Ying was trying his best to keep his face expressionless. He didn’t want to incur the wrath of this general because of meddling in his matter.

”Speaking of son, I want to visit my uncle’s son too,” Jun Hua recalled that Wu Kuina, Jun Qing’s wife and also her aunt, has given birth not long ago. Because of the matter of the trade and so on, she temporarily forgot about them. However, now she recalled that she wanted to give them a visit soon enough.

Nanglong Soujin nodded his head. ”We can take a detour and visit them on our way back to Ming City.”

”That’s a deal! Don’t you lie.”

”I won’t.”

The two of them continued their looking around the area before resting. As Jun Hua didn’t have any intention of staying in this place for a long time, she departed early in the morning towards Mountain Kingdom to visit her uncle.

…

Mountain Kingdom

Jun Qing was extremely happy when he heard that Jun Hua came to visit him. Thankfully, his cheeky niece didn’t decide to come secretly again or he might get surprised because of her again.

”Uncle, how are you?” Jun Hua greeted casually.

”I’m fine. What about you? You look…” Jun Qing wanted to say that Jun Hua looked beautiful, but he recalled that she had just given birth not long ago. Seeing how Jun Hua’s figure didn’t seem to be any different than usual, he wondered whether the news was true or not.

”What?” Jun Hua laughed. ”I’m still the same as usual, Uncle.”

”I can see that…”

”Where’s Aunty? I want to see her.”

”She’s in the garden with our son.”

”I’ll make a quick visit to her!”

Jun Hua dashed towards the garden while Nanglong Soujin stayed behind. The two men looked at each other before Nanglong Soujin broke the silence.

”Shall we have a talk, Prince Jun Qing?”

Jun Qing smiled. ”It’ll be my pleasure, Prince Soujin.”

Inside the garden, Jun Hua noticed two figures at the very middle. Wu Kuina was holding her sleeping son on a beautiful chair as she watched the moon on the sky. From afar, the silhouette of these two caused Jun Hua to feel comfort.

”Aunty,” she called out.

Wu Kuina was startled. She turned her head around and noticed that Jun Hua was standing not far from her. A smile appeared on her face. ”You finally come to visit me, little brat!”

”It has been a long time, Aunty,” Jun Hua replied and walked closer to Kuina. She peered to the young boy on the woman’s embrace curiously.

Wu Kuina nodded her head. ”Your uncle misses you a lot. Right, you haven’t met with my son, right? This is Jun Ming.”

”Hello Jun Ming, I’m Jun Hua, your aunt,” Jun Hua smiled.

The baby, Jun Ming, raised his small arm towards Jun Hua as if he understood what she was talking about. Seeing the cute gesture, Jun Hua missed her son even more.

Wu Kuina noticed Jun Hua’s longing expression. She chuckled. ”Once you become a mother, it feels hard to leave your child behind, isn’t it?”

”Yes, it’s very hard.”

”The war is over, Jun Hua. Will you continue to pursue a life full of adventures by going to a lot of unknown places or stay low and live your life as a mother and wife?”

Jun Hua looked at the earnest expression on her aunt as she pondered about it. Adventure has been part of her life ever since she was young because her life was filled with numerous experiences that most people would never have. At the same time, she has different roles now because she had gotten married. Which would be her decision?

”I…”
