Chapter 292

292 Before I kick you out

Liu Jin Yu had come to see Li Hua because she was the only person she found trustworthy after Xiaoming around her. When she found Li Hua practicing archery, it made her smile.

“Princess Consort Li Hua, you have held the bow wrongly,” Liu Jin Yu found that she was unable to shoot and intervened. Li Hua turned to look. She was surprised to see Liu Jin Yu and smiled to see her.

Liu Jin Yu walked up to her and asked Li Hua to show her how she nocked the arrow. Li Hua did what Jin Yu told her to, who pointed out her mistake.

“The pointer finger of your right hand rests on the side of her chin. Keep your chin down and see, the bow string has touched the tip of your nose,” Liu Jin Yu instructed Li Hua. “You should aim now,” she stated.

Li Hua hummed. She glued her eyes on the target and nocked the arrow. Although Lóng Wei had taught her many times, she could hardly understand him. He was not a good teacher.

Liu Jin Yu clapped for her as the arrow hit the target perfectly. Li Hua asked her if she had shot correctly.

“Yes. That’s why the Princess Consort was able to shoot at the center of the target,” Jin Yu asserted.

Li Hua thanked her for correcting her mistake. “You do not need to call me by my name. You will soon be the Crown Princess. You can call me by my name,” Li Hua stated.

“Sure. You should also call me by my name. I am Liu Jin Yu,” she said and forwarded her hand.

.....

Li Hua blinked her eyes for a few seconds and then slowly moved her hand forward. “It is an informal way to greet,” she said as they shook their hands.

“Really?” Liu Jin Yu immediately pulled her hand back. “Li Hua, Her Majesty has appointed an instructor for me to learn etiquette. However, I also want your help. Please help me train. I will help you in archery and sword fighting, if you want,” she offered a deal before Li Hua.

“Her Majesty may not like it if I help you learn since she has appointed a personal instructor for you,” Li Hua was hesitant about helping her.

“No, that will not happen. You need to be present around me. I will feel confident when you are with me. Please, Li Hua. Don’t refuse to help me,” Liu Jin Yu requested and joined her hands.

“Please do not do this.” Li Hua lowered her hands. “Sure, I will be around you,” she said.

Liu Jin Yu thanked her and told her that she would teach her how to fight.

“Will you? You may not get time,” Li Hua stated.

“I will take out time for this. I am a great archer, Li Hua. I am good with swords too. I can even show you. But not now, because I have to return. I sneaked out to meet you,” Liu Jin Yu stated and scratched the back of her head.

“I will surely appreciate your help,” Li Hua said, and gave a tiny smile to her.

“Li Hua, tell me how you won the heart of Prince Lóng Wei? I had heard many rumors about the prince. He hardly looked at any woman, but he fought for you. Prince Lóng Wei must love you a lot,” Liu Jin Yu stated and hit teasingly at Li Hua’s arm.

“I do not know. I saved him in my hometown and he fell for me,” Li Hua said and started to blush.

“Your hometown?” Liu Jin Yu got confused when she realized that she would be late if she didn’t return. He asked Li Hua to help her go out as she had forgotten the route.

Li Hua nodded and asked her to follow her. She put the bow on the patio’s floor and left with Liu Jin Yu.

They both reached the main courtyard of the manor. Liu Jin Yu had trouble walking in that long skirt and heavy clothing, so she was behind Li Hua.

Li Hua paused to see an unknown man in the manor. When Liu Jin Yu pronounced her name and came forward, she was stunned to see Kang Huijuan. Li Hua tilted her head to look at Liu Jin Yu.

“It is my pleasure to meet the wife of Prince Lóng Wei,” Kang Huijuan said and smirked.

Li Hua glanced at him and furrowed her brows together.

“Pardon me, but I didn’t recognize you,” Li Hua politely said while keeping a tiny smile on her lips.

“Forgive me for not introducing myself,” Kang Huijuan apologized. “I am Kang Huijuan, the son of the Prime Minister of the Qiu Kingdom,” he said.

The smile from Li Hua’s lips immediately disappeared.

“Prince Lóng Wei has such a beautiful woman as his wife, and it makes me envious of him,” Kang Huijuan said as he grinned.

“Don’t you think that you must not speak this way with Princess Consort Li Hua?” Liu Jin Yu questioned him and stepped up.

“Who allowed you to come in here? If Prince Lóng Wei finds out that you came here, I am sure you won’t go in one piece to your house, Kang Huijuan.” Jin Yu wanted to kill him at that very moment. If she had had her sword with him, she would have made sure to cut his mouth with it. The way he smirked at Li Hua wasn’t pleasant at all, and it creeped her out.

Kang Huijuan cast a glance at Liu Jin Yu and could not recognize her.

“Who are you? Didn’t I tell you that I am the son of the Prime Minister. Such a filthy servant has no right to talk to me this way,” Kang Huijuan snapped at her when Liu Jin Yu slapped him hard.

Li Hua was shocked to see that and gaped at Liu Jin Yu.

“How dare a leech call me a filthy servant!?” Liu Jin Yu growled at him.

Kang Huijuan rested his hand on his cheek and scowled at her.

“Did you call me a leech?” He could not believe his ears.

“Yes. Now, get out of here before I kick you out,” Liu Jin Yu sternly said while scrunching her brows.
