Prince Sha left the inn and travelled towards changan.
The landscape was beautiful.
"The emarald river flows from the mountain, the red roses decorate the vast grassland , the crops are looking at the sun , new spouses work in the field together, the birds sit on the branches , women take water from the well , children play in the fields, a place really blessed by the heavens. "
Jein: yes. How beautiful is our country!
Sha: the more beautiful it is , the more danger it has. Kingdoms from other countries are longing for this paradise. We should save this treasure for sure.
Jein : we have to find your jade as soon as possible .
Sha: mm.
Prince Sha rode his horse faster than before . He wanted to reach changan soon even if there's no emergency .
In the evening time , prince Sha and Jein came to the bustling city of changan.
In the gate of changan , some guards were checking everyone who enters the city.
Guard: who are you ?
Sha replied ," I am Rano from kelan country. I came here to visit the Buddha temple . I will be living there for a few months to pray for my sick wife . "
He pointed Jein and said ," he is my servant. Please allow us to pray . "
Guard : you can go after checking you. People from other country can't bring any weapons with them. So , hand it over if you have one.
Sha: no, we are going to pray . So, I didn't bring any weapon.
The guard checked his body by touching . Jein who was waiting for his turn felt awkward .
Prince sha couldn't control the laughing . There's a reason . The guard checked his front and back but not the feet. His small sword was inside his socks. And another long sword was inside the saddle cloth of the horse . But the guard let him go without checking properly.
" this stupid guards can fight with kelan country men? Impossible. "
Then Jein was checked too. He had his small knife inside his dress but as him dress was hard , the guards couldn't find it .
Guard: you can go now.
Sha: thank you sir .
Jein and Prince sha rented a room in the inn for a month.
In the room ,
Prince sha wrote a letter to his mother .
Dear mother ,
I have reached changan safely. I am good here . I will handle the things here properly. Don't worry about me . The sceneries on the way was beautiful like you . Take care. By your son , Sha.
Prince sha handed the letter to Jein, "send this letter to the palace . "
" yes master " Jein went downstairs .
Prince Sha went to the pool for a bath. A tattoo was in his left hand , a little down from his shoulder . He touched the tattoo with a burdened heart . The tatoo resembled a Phoenix . Just like in the jade with Ruyi.
" the water is warm but my heart is cold " He thought.
""""°•♡•°""""
Fei went to Mr.youth after eating his lunch in the afternoon.
He entered his room . The room was so clean . There were more books and scrolls . The painting of famous artist were there too.
"Mr.youth you have so many collections . "
" of course, I love reading stories . The books are nothing but story books and philosophy books "
" story ? My friend is good at telling stories . "
" is that so? Bring him when he is free "
" as you wish "
Mr.youth brought a table and organised the chess pieces on the board.
" let's play . I'll teach you one technique only once "
" yes sir "
Mr.Youth taught him seriously and Fei listened with an interest.
While he was playing there, Ruyi was in bethral practicing until her waist felt like being broken.
Fao's voice changed from cocoon's to crow's.
Today she yelled ," all beauties of changan , are you not strong enough to fight with your husbands? Just buy this sesame rolls. You will be strong. Can't stop arguing with your mother - in-laws ? Just give this to them. It helps in building up the immune system and good for digestive system . Don't forget, an apple a day , can keep doctor away . Eat healthy . Men who are thin like woman come and buy it. It has rich calories and helps in body building . "
Shana was embroiding on customers' curchief . She pricked her fingers several times.
And Fei was losing again and again to Mr.youth.
The white gang is chatting or maybe gossiping.
Han : do you know? Ruyi and her friends are going to brothel everyday.
Xiao: what ? For what reason ?
Han: Ruyi is learning dance while other two are selling and embroiding.
Xiao: tomorrow, let's go there .
Han: no, we can't go there. If we go and ask what they are doing in a brothel , then they will ask the same question to us.
Xiao: you're right . Then , let's wait for a chance .
Han: yes .
Lavender group ,
Wang: Fei is spending time with Mr.youth.
Palin: I really admire them. They are doing their own business , learning other than academy things , but we are just sitting for nothing .
Wang : they are good but that doesn't make us bad. We can learn music , I guess. Mr.omin is good at music . Go to him and ask him to teach us music .
Palin: I'm on it . That's a good idea. We have to study in this academy for 4 years and I think , we can learn music in two years.
Xue: I love this plan. I choose singing.
Wang : you're good at singing?
Xue: a little . I love hearing songs.
Wang : go and ask our all lavender members to join here , if they are interested .
Xue: I'll go right away.
Wang: so now, our group and black group has work and only white gang is useless.
Wang smirked.
Palin: let's show them that they are useless.
Wang: yeah.
All returned to their rooms.
After they come to their dorms , Shana made a soup for Fao. And gave it to her
Fao: what's this?
Shana: a soup to cure your throat. See your voice is changing . Drink this before you get a sore throat.
Fao: thank you .
Fao took something from her dress. It's a gloves. She gave it to shana.
Fao: have this gloves . I saw you pricking your hands.
Shana smiles and got that gloves . Thank you. It looks good.
Ruyi went to take bath as soon as she come from the brothel. She was sweating and can't bear the heat.
After the bath she came to her room . As soon as Ruyi sat, Fao massaged her shoulder. Ruyi closed her eyes and felt relieved.
This is friendship. Even the gold cannot be equal to it.
