I put the chemical solution on my hair, specifically wetting the dryness of my hair. Then I gently massaged my scalp and thoroughly brushed my hair with my hands. When everything was done, I repeatedly put on the wooden curlers. One by one with allotted time, trying to let the chemicals take effect and curl my hair in the nicest way. I want the chemical solutions to have a longer effect compared to those artificial solutions in the modern world.

I picked up an ancient book and tried to read a few pages of history. This book contains introductions about alchemists, armament masters, beast tamers and the different levels of cultivation which I’m familiar of. I decided to dig deeper into studying books similar to this, perhaps I could make a request from grandfather emperor to gift me the key of the Kingdom’s largest library.

It took me enough time to cover half of the book through reading diligently. Then I ordered one of my maidservants to prepare a good coloured noble dress that I’ll be wearing for the arranged meet up that’ll take place later this morning. I put the book back to the shelf as I went to sit in front of my room’s mirror. I slowly undid the tangled hair locks from the curling wood sticks and put another layer of preservation oil, to make my hair more soft, shinier and livelier.

Then I stood and went to the bathing area. Dismissing all of my maidservants. I removed my robes and my undergarments. I also brushed my hair twice with the use of my fingers, to avoid letting the hairs stick tightly together. Then I stepped into the water till only my head was left at the surface of the water. The temperature started to drop drastically, as warm water suddenly felt like freezing. Was it because of my body’s change in temperature? Or was it because I already possess a stronger ice attribute inside me?

I washed my arms and my body with liquefied soap and a cloth scrub. It needs to be washed thoroughly since the smell of jasmine and chamomile is too strong to get over with. It’ll be pleasant to have a scented body, but too much of these is like a substitute for an aphrodisiac incense. It will harm the person who’ll get too close to me, especially later, when I get to meet the said ‘infamous fourth prince’ of the South. I thoroughly washed my hair with another liquefied soap, maybe I can try and create a shampoo made out of the finest and most nutritious herbs from Blue Valley Pavilion, that way I can assure myself to get out of the brewing troubles that someone can set on with the use of unimportant things that’s supposedly undiscoverable.

I wonder if I’ll be able to tour the market later and look for some coconut oil or olive extracts and hopefully purchase some. Skin nourishment is very important in this era, hence I need to be more cautious of my appearance from now on. In my past life, I was trained by my aunt to take care of myself and look beautiful at all times since I’ve had lots of cousins that would deliberately try their bests to outstand me and grab the attention of the guests. So I as the heiress, became self conscious at all times. But in this era, all of the noble ladies based in a distant memory were either trying to gain favour from me or compete with me.

Before I could continue the surroundings felt strange. I looked around…

Till my eyes landed on the door of the room that was supposed to be tightly closed and heavily guarded by maidservants. How come it’s slightly open?

I tried to ignore the feeling of being watched so I resumed cleaning my body, yet being extremely careful of the lurking dangers. I tied my hair up purposely and pick up a hidden dagger that’s kept within my reach, sort of I always prepared weapons in this area so I won’t be left defenceless if something unexpected occurs. When the curtains started to move I already threw my dagger at the same direction but on a different speed. Then I hurriedly grabbed the robe that’s closest to me and jump out of the water.

I reached for more daggers this time while securely tying the waistband of my robe. I hurriedly opened the door and observed the water below, which was suddenly calm yet the gas emissions from the bottom were telling me otherwise, that something was amiss. I threw five little blades at the middle and on the corners of the pool, yet the calmness remained passive. I immediately ran back to my chambers and locked the door while I informed ten of my people to guard the door.

I applied smoothening cream all over my body, not just an ordinary cream… but this I’ve discovered as something that conceals energy fluctuations. I also applied a little bit of moisturising oil on my hair, and as expected it’s not hard to dry something wet with the help of burning blue fire and put the same three pieces of matching hair pins. Such luxurious things that conceals energy fluctuations is something that spikes my curiosity, I wanna know who created such useful tools and why they’re all gifted to me?

I slowly put my undergarments and add another layer of inner upper clothing and an inner pants so the cold temperature of my body won’t make people wonder. Then I put on a white inner dress, so it help warm my body. Then lastly, I put on a blue coloured dress, embroidered with silver threads and white beads, with imperial codes. In this era imperial codes and noble codes were important remarks in dressing. Each codes signifies the status of a person, it also expresses which to offend and who’s not. Lastly, I chose a pair of white shoes that has blue patterns on the sides, designed like blue dragons.

I chuckled as I reached for my fan and put on a veil. I looked at the mirror and smiled cunningly.

I need to get going or else that person would be very pissed to wait for me.
