Chapter 3

Your P.O.V

After the situation with your brother fight with Dragon Warrior. You and Po passed more time together. And Eventually became friends. And today was that moment you would spend with Dragon Warrior.

 You were waiting with your Maid Chánjuān. She was with bad Humour just thinking about you and Dragon warrior being friends.

Chánjuān: "So? What will he do today? He already asks you to explore the Palace. Seen the Palace Library. The Palace training, the Legendary Weapons that Emperor's of Dynasty had. What more he wants?"

You giggle, seen your best friend with bad humour.

You: "Well, I don't know. Maybe there are some places we didn't explore. You know the haunted places in the palace?"

Chánjuān Look at you with a serious face and with the serious tone she said.

Chánjuān: "Don't even think about it. You know what happens in those places, are forbidden! You know what happen those places. Even your father doesn't want you to go there!"

You got scared and back away for a little and you felt being bump with someone belly. You look back and see Dragon Warrior. You smile and bow with respect. He did bow too and smile.

Po: "I am sorry to keep you waiting. I was preparing some dishes before we go to a place I plan to do today.*blush* if you want."

You smile and giggle and bow once more.

You: "I would love it, Dragon Warrior."

Po: "Princess, Please call me Po. This is too formal for me."

You:"Oh, I am very sorry. Okay Po"

You and he begin to walk as your maid follows you. Chánjuān was holding a white and expensive Small bag. Po probably notices and wanted to carry but she back away and with a serious face.

Chánjuān: "I need no man to carry this stuff."

You look at her with a sad face, and Chánjuān Notice and frown and give him the bag.

Chánjuān: "it doesn't mean I needed help! Probably whatever you are going to take Princess (Y/n) it must be far away."

Po: "Well Actually isn't far. I notice there is a lake outside the palace and I tough it will be great if Princess is there for a little."

Chánjuān didn't like you being outside the palace, but she nods and follows the Dragon Warrior.

After walking you guys arrive at the place. You look up and see a waterfall.

{This place}

 You never saw in your life. It was beautiful. Po notices that and smile.

Po:"So? Your Highness did you like it?"

You:" I love it so much! Thank you, Po! It is amazing. Do you see this beautiful landscape?"

Po:" Well, To be Honest. The Valley of Peace has amazing views. But The Palace Jade you can see everything! And it's awesome!"

You smile sadly. You never got a chance to explore, due to your father always has wanted you inside the palace since birth.

 Your Royal Father was always worried and put you with Bodyguards. 

You heard Po and you look at him and smile. He got a small picnic with some dishes you never saw before. You sit down and look at him and point the food.

You:" Po, what is that?"

You point to the dish were filled with small steamed buns. Po looked to that and chuckle.

[Baozi! Steamed buns! it really good! Don't call them dumpling. Total different!]
 

Po:" Its Baozi! It's really good!"

You:" And those two?"

Po:" Those dumplings and Noodles! They are both great! You should try it!"

[This is Dumpling!]

[ You all know what this is right]

Po was using his chopsticks with Baozi on the middle but Chánjuān Stop him and show him your food. It was Chinese Beef and Broccoli with rice. 

[Chinese Beef and Broccoli with rice! I try it in China. Dear heavens! it so good!]

You look at Chánjuān. She was smiling and eating too. You sigh and eat. It was good but you want to try Po food.

You: "Chánjuān please, may I try that food, please."

Chánjuān sigh and nod. You smile and try Po food. It was delicious, he tries yours too which he was happy!

Po:"My Heavens! Your food is so delicious! It has beef. It tastes heavens."

Chánjuān:"Of course! It was made by our best chefs in all of china! And Princess (Y/n) need to keep the elegance she has."

Po look at his belly and chuckle. While you giggle a little. You spend the evening with Po. 

After returning the palace, you notice. It's going to have a Festival. 

You were curious. Po notice once more and look at you.

Po:"Want to come to the Festival?"

Chánjuān looks at Po with the deadly look and a cough.

Chánjuān:" It very nice of you Dragon Warrior. But the Princess needs to stay inside the palace. For her Safety."

Before Po starts to speak. You and he heard someone voice.

Tigress: "Hey Po. Want to come to the Festival with us? Monkey is prepared himself."

Po was very excited he nods. You, on the other hand, feel envy of them. They could go anywhere they wish. But you smile and look at them.

You: "Better get going. Probably my Royal Parents are waiting for me. Thank you, Po, for this evening. It was pleasant."

You walk to your mother palace. You arrive and see her with her maids prepare her hair and put makeup for the festival.

 You sit down and sigh and have an Angry pout face. Your mother looks at you.

Empress: "What wrong my precious daughter? When you have Angry pout meaning something went wrong."

You look at your mother and come closer to her.

You:"Royal Mother. I want to go to see the festival. May I go please?"

Your Mother looked at you with suspicious and have a thoughtful face.

Empress:"Something tells me it is because of the Dragon Warrior. Doesn't it?"

Your face got a little red but you shake it off. You bow.

You:"Mom. I never saw the festival. I have always been inside the palace. And Yes. Dragon Warrior invited me, but."

Empress:"Let me guess. Chánjuān refuses you to go with him. Right?"

You:"How.."

Your mother smiled and stares at you.

Empress: "Daughter, in this Palace. I have eyes and ears everywhere. No Matter What you do or your brothers or even your sisters do. I always know. Even the Harem, I know what is happening inside these walls. Why being Empress, you must know everything around you. "

You sigh and look at your mother and think what you said.

You:"That means I can go?"

You smile softly and hoping a good answer but your Mother smile at you and nod a no.

Empress:"You must stay inside. Chánjuān did the right thing, (Y/n). That Festival is for our people. Your father has a royal family festival."

You got angry and get up.

You:"it's so unfair! Just because I am born as a Royal Princess. "

Your mother got up and looks serious at you. The look you never saw, only she has to deal with the Harem serious business she gave that look.

Empress:"Yes! You are born as a Princess! And you will one day to marry a man! Your father will choose the man you will get married! You better get off the idea of being like our people. Once you are born into royalty, you must do your duty. That the Price of 17 years of luxury and happiness. Do you know how old I marry your father? 15 years old. Your other two disgraceful sisters married at age 25 and 24! You all are lucky to marry a little later. Otherwise, you would be married by some prince."

You stay silent, you didn't mean to anger your Mother. But when she looks at your face, she sighs and hugs you.

Empress:"My daughter. I wish I could tell you. Why your father protects you so much. We want see you safe and sound. The world outside is dangerous."

You:"I know Mother. I am so sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. I just want to see the Floating Lanterns and the festival *sob a little*."

Your Mother looks aside and making sure no one was hearing she smile at you.

Empress:"Very well. You can go, but please return to safety once it ended. Okay?"

You finish sobbing a little and look at your mother smiling.

You:"Are you let me go?"

Your mother nods smiling and hugs you.

Empress:"I was like you when I was in your age. You better hurry, or the Floating Lanterns will begin you won't want to miss right?"

You nod and kiss your Mother's cheek and run to your room. You change your Royal hanfu into a simple one. It was light green with dark green.

[this one]

 You went outside the gates and see everyone having fun and enjoy the festival. You were trying to find Po. 

When you feel someone touching your shoulder. You turn around and see your Maid, Best Friend, Chánjuān.

Chánjuān:"I can't believe the empress let you go."

You: "Chánjuān! I thought you were angry with me."

She raises her eyebrows.

Chánjuān:"Why on heavens I would be angry at you. Just Because you want to go to the Festival. I was doing my job as your personal maid."

You:" I know. So let's have fun!"

She nods and holds your hand and goes with you to see the Floating Lanterns.As you walk, you could see the lights and the happiness of your people. You smile and enjoy with your friend Chánjuān. She was holding your arm and look around. While you have your mind finding the Po.

Once you saw him with his friends. You smile. Chánjuān was holding two Floating Lanterns for you and her. Once she looks in your direction, she looked annoyed but still smiles for you. 

You both walk to Po Direction. But you saw him with Tigress as the others left to somewhere else. You got sad, Chánjuān notices this. She grabs your arm and takes you to the river.

 Once you arrive you sit down. 

Chánjuān sits down with you and hold your hand and put her head on your shoulder. You two didn't say anything. You both knew to express words without being said. 

You sigh and see the people put their Lanterns into water. You smile and went to the lake and sit near.

 Chánjuān gives you one lantern, while she sits near you. You both put your lanterns into water. While seeing the Lanterns Floating away. 

You look at the river.

You:"Mother is right. I must stop a daydream about something impossible."

Chánjuān looks at you with worrying.

Chánjuān: "What supposed to mean?"

You:" I am the 4th Princess of Ming Dynasty. I must take my role. One day My Royal Father will put me on marriage."

Chánjuān:" (Y/n). Look I know how you feeling but."

You: "No. It's done. I must follow my Royal mother footsteps. Po and I, we are different worlds. He a Dragon Warrior loved by his people. Me a princess. Two worlds completely different."

You sigh but stand up and turn your best friend with a weak smile.

You: "Let's go home. I am tired. And I wish not to see anyone. Only my brothers and Mother and Father and sisters."

Chánjuān nods and takes you home. 

After arriving in your room. You went to bed. You look at your window. You sigh deeply and you smile weakly and feeling tears rolling down. Feeling your chest get pain.

Days went by Po was always visit you. But you refuse to see him. Your mother was worried about you. But you made sure you were fine. Your sisters wanted to know the drastic change into yourself. 

You kept study and keep practice being the Future Empress to your future Emperor. One day you were walking to the Palace Gardens with Chánjuān. 

You were wearing Yellow Hanfu and with Golden Hairpins.

[This one]

[This one too!]

You were walking while thinking about something. When you heard people coming and you look ahead and see the Furious Five and Dragon Warrior. 

You Panic a little but you got a serious face and walk forward to them. 

They bow, and you see Po looking at you with a worried face. 

You felt guilty, but you knew your role as a princess. You bow to the Furious five. You continue to walk but you look back seen him stare at you. You were sad and feeling even worse. When his green looked at your (E/c) eyes. But you need to kept walking, with your head down you kept walking. 

Once you enter your room, you sigh deeply, Chánjuān was looking at you with worrying, she coughs and being serious.

Chánjuān:"Sometimes rules must be a break."

You look at her with surprise. You know Chánjuān was. She was really on the rule follow. Always follow the rules and being perfect. But saying that it makes somehow happy.

Chánjuān: "Look. This thing you are doing doesn't suit you. Knowing you. You follow your heart before your head. But yeah I understand how you feel. I felt the same thing with my parents. You know who is my father."

You: "Master Thundering Rhino. Yeah, he is the great Kung Fu Master!"

Chánjuān:"Yeah. That. Being his daughter is also very hard. He is a good father but his Reputation is important. I know your father is the Emperor. But come on. You need to be a little free."

You:"My mother says 17 of luxury and happiness needs to be paid."

Chánjuān:"Aren't you doing that? Like pushing everyone and focus on that stupid marry! The thing that didn't even happen?"

You:"I am so confused."

Chánjuān:" I know. But I am here. I know your mother wants the best. As your father. "

You:"You are right. I feel bad for Po. What I am doing makes him hurt. But we belong to two worlds differents."

Chánjuān:"And. You cant be friends? Look at me. I am your Maid in waiting! Still, I am your friend! We belong to two worlds different. Yet we are friends!"

You:"True! You are right. What should I do?"

Chánjuān: "Well, you could cook for him. As sorry. That guy could eat the whole Palace Kitchen food. Believe me, even the cooker is scared to let Po in the Kitchen. As he saw Po eating too much."

You:"Well, Po trains a lot. So it normal he eats more than anyone else. But I will try to cook for him. The problem is. I don't know about cooking."

Chánjuān: "Don't worry I will teach you."

You smile, and you follow her to the Royal Kitchen. As you watch Chánjuān Cooking, you try to do the same. But you were scared to fail. 

Chánjuān would stop and explain and show you how things are done. 

Many servants were surprised to see royal Princess cooking.

 After you finish. You were proud. But still worried about the whole event it was going to happen. But you swallow your pride and grab the small bag and put the dumplings and a bowl of rice. 

You look everywhere inside the palace, even ask the other servants. Some of them told you where was Po.

 After some time. You found him training. You gulp and walk in his direction. You were sweating nervously.

You saw him training, but somehow he seems upset. You walk to him.

You:"Po."

He stops training. He turns around and smiles at you. You smile at him and give him the bag. He looks at what is inside.

Po:"Oh! That is Dumplings! They look delicious! I was getting hungry."

You:"I am glad you are hungry."

He sits down and begins to eat. He stops and looks into dumplings. You sweat nervously. You sit down as well and look at him.

You:" Is that bad?"

Po sallow and look at you.

Po:"Well it needs a bit of improvement. But still delicious. I wonder who cook this."

You look at him with desperate, you look around and see Chánjuān and other guy was a Eunuch. It was Chánjuān friend. His name is Manchu (Pure). You saw her making hands gets so you move or do something or tell him. 

You nod and turn to Po.

You:"Well it was me. I did the food."

Po eyes wide and look at you. You were embarrassed. You look aside and sigh.

You:"It's an apology. I am so sorry if I push you away. I didn't let you visit me or see me. But I got into a situation well. You see you and me. We are different worlds. I thought we couldn't be friends. But a good friend of mine taught me we could be friends. I am so sorry Po."

He smiles and holds my hand and pants it.

Po;"It's okay. I get it. Don't worry about it. I am cool with that."

You smile and spend time together. Little did you know someone was watching you two.

Ship time.

Time flies. You and Po were best friends. But more time you spend with him. More feelings you got for him. 

Manchu was now your personal Eunuch. He would follow you and before you enter any place inside the palace he would announce you. 

One day you heard that Po would be leaving. 

You got so sad. Still, you would say goodbye to him. So it happens. He was preparing himself to return his home. You were waiting for him. Manchu looked at you.

Manchu:" Princess (Y/n), would you like I announce you for Dragon Warrior."

You look at him and nod.

You: "Yes, Please. That would be helpful."

He nods and enters where Po was. And cough and announce you. You enter with Chánjuān. You smile and give something to Po. It was the Dragon Jade Pendant. 

{This one}

Po was amazed but refuse.

Po:" I can't accept."

You open his hand and give it to him.

You:"it's the only thing I can do. I wanted to thank you. For being my friend. I also want you, and the others have a safe trip. Please be safe."

You smile at him. Po smiled at you and hug you. You hug him back. You close his hand and making sure the Dragon Jade Pendant won't fall down. You put Dragon Jade Pendant on Po's waist. After that, you look at it and smile.

You:"There. I hope it won't fell down."

Po looks at Dragon Jade Pendant on the mirror and it suits him so well.

 After some talk. He was ready to go. 

You Accompany him to the Palace gate and see the Furious five and Shifu and your Royal parents. You gulp and get nervous. 

Your Royal Mother and Royal Father looked at you with warm smiled. You stood beside them and bow to Furious Five and Shifu.

You: "I hope you all return home safe and sound."

Your father notices on Po's waist and he looked at you. You look at your Royal Father and smile. Your Family said goodbye to them and see them leaving. Your father looked at you.

Emperor: "Well. Better return Palace. We need to plan your marriage to someone."

You sigh and nod. You follow your Royal Father. Not Knowing which one will marry you.
