143 Standing (2/2)

Soujin take the bottle. ”This is?”

”Medicine for internal wounds,” Jun Hua answered with smile. ”I heard that you're hurt because of the battle, so I hope this can help you.”

”Thank you Jun Hua,” Soujin said her name naturally.

Jun Hua didn't say anything to him any longer as she continues to sit on the chair. From the side, Soujin looks towards the girl before him. Somehow this girl continues to get inside his life and make him feeling comfort around her. His lips curved a bit, what a strange feeling he had.

Soujin looks around and he noticed several people coming. It won't do them any good to be seen together, so Soujin choose to move. Jun Hua says her farewell to him as there are several people coming there. She recognizes two of them, Lin San and Lin Tang.

”Third sister,” Lin San said, but then she curtsied. ”I'm sorry, I forgot Princess Hua.”

Jun Hua blanked for a moment before smiling back. She too forgot that she was a princess until Lin San said that. She only remembers that Soujin is now a prince in name, the same as her second identity.

”It's alright Second Sister,” Jun Hua greeted back.

”Ah, you shouldn't call me your second sister anymore,” Lin San face turned red. She was embarrassed being called like that by Jun Hua. Although before she would always do anything without care, she was no longer the same one. She has matured.

”It's fine, you're a sister to me,” Jun Hua smiled. If her plan succeeded, won't Lin San still be her sister? There is nothing wrong with how she greets him.

”Thank you,” Lin San smiled turned brighter.

On the back, Lin Tang frowned a bit. ”Lin San, come here.”

”Yes father.”

Jun Hua turned towards the officials and greets them formally based on her memories of their name, ”… Prime Minister Ling Tang.”

When it comes to his name, Lin Tang froze in his spot. It was painfully clear that she purposely didn't call Lin Tang as father. This difference in greeting caused the officials thought to go around, why would a daughter refused to call her own father with 'father'?

The reputation of Lin Tang has soured out greatly during this past few months. If not for the war making people more focused on that matter, Lin Tang would not get the change to keep his position as the prime minister. But even now, there are a lot of people waiting patiently for Lin Tang to stumble.

This new princess and princes have caused them to feel a headache. They feel relieved when they know that both Soujin and Jun Min only barely care about their new title and didn't have any change in their daily activity. But this is the first time they meet Jun Hua. Although the girl is still looking timid and all, she no longer have the same standing. Her action seems clear, she wants to make a line between Lin Tang and her and no longer acknowledge him as her father.
