Chapter 321 - Lantern Festival II

Lory rummaged inside her wardrobe, she choose to dress like girly today so she choose white and soft pink hanfu with frill on her skirt and lace on her sleeve, she rarely wear something like this because too much hassle but just like normal woman sometimes she likes to dress up for a date after she takes a bath she dress herself without anyone help like she always do than suddenly Ming Yue Yin entering the room without knocking, Lory lift the curtain divider and found Ming Yue Yin dress nicely in soft pink hanfu white skirt and dark purple belt, silver phoenix and lotus flower embroidery on her sleeve just like reminder of her high status.

"Nice dress" Lory praised her maids who dressing her up.

"Su Yi force me to wear this so I can look like a woman" she scoffed, "I think Hei Shen people character rubbed on them, they become too honest lately" she plops to the chair, her hairpin tassel dangling on her head, its only one hairpin but everyone could see how exquisite the craftsman is.

Ming Yue Yin size lory up and down than she chuckles "You dress like a young girl now?" she teased.

"Hey, I am young" she raised her finger with a warning gaze. Lory turns around and sits on the dressing table, Ming Yue Yin raised from the chair she took a small stool than sit next to Lory.

She props her chin on the table than she shifts her gaze to Lory reflection "Aren't you worried when you first coming to this world?" she suddenly asked.

Lory surprised by her question but than she answers calmly "Afraid? No, confuse most likely" she patted her cheeks after she applies moisturizer that she made by herself. She waits until the moisturizer absorbs by her skin than she continues "I don't even know I'm on a different world, I'm just very very grateful that the sun rose again and I found Girsha lay next to me, meeting with Girsha again it's…." Lory takes a deep breath to control her overwhelming feeling.

"Its a blessing...." she finally said with relief smile.

Ming Yue Yin holds Lory's hand without saying anything because she can't imagine what she had been through, she only saw flashes of Lory live in her dreams but that's enough shaken her to the core and make her all grievance seems small compare to what Lory had been through.

Lory clear her throat than she whispers at Ming Yue Yin "You know how I know my aged regressed?" Lory raised her eyebrows than she touches her chest "When I notice my chest become flat" she said with horror.

'Pffft…' Ming Yue Yin burst to laugh.

"Its funny now but at that time can you imagine my shock, I lost my chest! I'm not even that shock when I realize I can't use my gift" Lory remembers how panic she is at that time, thankfully girsha reminds her not only her chest disappeared her clothes become too big for her and so her boots only than she realizes her body becomes small.

Ming Yue Yin wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes from laughing too hard "You know how is that happen, is that normal?"

"Is their anything normal for a person could transfer to another world?" Lory roll her eyes "My mother said every world have barrier, a law of universe, a door well you name it but the function is the same to protect the world from other world influence, meaning whatever happened to this world will not effect the other world" Lory take example with two makeup bottle in front of her.

"So what happened to you?" Ming Yue Yin got curious.

"I don't know, every barrier have guardian don't ask me who or what, I don't know either, it just a story I don't know if that even real," Lory said again than she pondering "I'm lucky I only regressed slightly if their any guardian out their why that guardian let me through? The Guardian job is to protect the balance of there world but me coming here might disrupt the balance so why…." Lory crosses her arms on her chest while immersed in a deep though.

"Okay enough" Ming Yue Yin smack Loty hand " What matters you here, we think about other things later!" she patted Lory's shoulder than suddenly Zhao Li Xin enter the room.

"Uncle here, I'll be waiting in the main hall" Ming Yue Yin nods at Zhao Li Xin and leave the room.

Lory sees his reflection from the mirror in front of her "Hi" she smiles at him.

Zhao Li Xin approach her from behind "Something bothering you?" he sees worry in her eyes than he strokes her long hair.

"No more then usual" she answers perfunctorily.

"So you usually got worried?" he combs her hair gently than he tied half her and tied it into a half bun than put silver flower hairpin with pink gemstones and long tassel.

"I'm a woman, I always worry about something" she stifles.

"You understand I will always here to support you no matter what" Zhao Li Xin finish with her hair he gives a light peck on the top of her head.

"I know" Lory smile.

Meanwhile, on the main hall Ming Yue Yin surprise why Yuan Shao is here but when she sees Yuan Xue An too she thought she might be visiting her "General Yuan" Ming Yue Yin greet him politely.

Yuan Shao froze for a few seconds before he could answer her "You're Majesty?" he said with question tone.

Ming Yue Yin frown "What, you forgot my face after one day?"

Yuan Shao clear his throat awkwardly "No, of course not, good evening You're majesty"

"Did I told you to call me Yue Yin, even Xue An called me Sister now" Ming Yue Yin complain while putting her arms on her waist.

"Apologies, Yue Yin" he chuckles than cupped his fist politely. He surprised because she looks very beautiful with a feminine dress, most of the time he saw her wearing red robes who make her look distinguish ruler and valiant hero only this time she looks like a beautiful young woman in his teens, it reminds him how young she is but that also deepens his admiration for her.

"That's better" she smiles than takes a seat opposite them than Su Yi and Su Jing serve her with tea. She inhaled the tea fragrant with eye close than he opens her eyes and takes a small sip than she glances at Yuan Shao "You here to accompany Xue An? She asked casually.

"No, I actually called here by lord long Ming to accompany you," said Yuan Shao.

"Me?" she pointing herself with baffled looks than she sighs "He doesn't want me to interfere with his lovey-dovey time, such a cunning uncle" she grumbles.

The corner of his mouth lifts slightly when he drinks his wine, everyone treats each other very casual even to an Empress but that's making there relationship feel close and genuine, he never know any manor who free from hidden agenda and scheming like Zhao Li Xin manor no wonder his sister complexion become better even only a few days living here.

"Brother when you going with sister Ming, could you buy me the flower dumpling from Tancu tea house and buy me rainbow candy also buy me rabbit lantern…"

"You want me to buy a lot of things, I accompany you're….ehm Yue Yin, I don't have time…" he also wants to spend his time with Ming Yue Yin and get to know her better.

"Don't worry, we get them for you" she comforts Yuan Xue An "I also want to eat that flower dumpling and rainbow candy…hmm I think Aunty would be interested with this too"
