303 Settling Down (1/2)

After talking in the hall, the four of them met again in the dining room. Only after getting the servants out did Yan started to berate Ming Hui.

”Why don't you tell me about it beforehand? I'm almost shocked speechlessly by the proposal from Jun Hua!”

Ming Hui laughed, ”You are not the only one who's surprised. I too don't know that she is going to ask for something like that. Now that your identity as Young Noble Han is out, I wonder how the reaction of people would be.”

Yan slumped on his chair. He has worked hard all these years to build a good image for Young Noble Han. Now that the two of them were being associated together, he was sure that there wouldn't be any good image left for him. The little lass sure could make things go awry.

Although the position for merchants was usually low, it was a different case for Young Noble Han. He had worked hard to make a lot of connections here and there, making his position strong enough and gained people's respect by doing a lot of things.

”If they don't know about it, the support for you will decrease,” Jun Hua said calmly, ”If they want someone more powerful as the leader wouldn't they pick General Soujin rather than you.”

Somehow Yan got the feeling that Jun Hua learned how to hit people from Soujin really well. The way she said it, despite it being true, made him couldn't retort at all. Indeed, compared to Soujin, his reputation was a mess. It could even be said that the previous Jun Hua was still better than him.

With them knowing that he was the Young Noble Han, they would hold more respect, and the previous bad rumors about him would disperse. Nevertheless, he didn't feel good up for the fact that Jun Hua realized it better than him.

”Your IQ is even lower than a girl,” Soujin added a killing strike.

Yan turned to Ming Hui to ask for help. Ming Hui grinned. ”Even a kid would know better than you.”

Yup, he shouldn't have asked for their help. Now, he could only lament why he got cruel friends for striking him even harder with their words.

”By the way, Jun Hua, do you really hold that high of a position in the Mountain Kingdom?” Ming Hui shifted the conversation.

Jun Hua nodded. The empress had told her beforehand that she could act even without reporting it to her. Besides, as the Princess of Mountain Kingdom, she held the big position because the emperor gave it to her. Across the Mountain Kingdom, only the emperor and empress would have bigger power than her.

Not to mention that she didn't need to report to them when making any action. It has made her even freer to do many things. Although this battle was only partially reported, Jun Hua didn't bring all of her soldiers and only a small portion of them.

”It seemed you're doing well there,” Yan commented.

”Next would be the coronation for Prince Yan, or you want to wait until everything is over?” Jun Hua grinned.

”Just wait, I don't want to go through that hassle twice,” Yan immediately answered.

”Will you come with us to war?” Soujin asked Jun Hua.

Jun Hua nodded, ”I have come this far, why should I back down now?”

”It's good, but it means there will some soldiers deployed to babysit you,” Yan sighed.
