Jun Hua stared at the pool as she makes her resolve. A man walks behind her and stopped at quite a distance."You don"t happen to think about jumping, do you?" laughter comes to her ears.
Jun Hua looks up and sees Soujin behind her. She grumbled internally that she seemed to be stumbling into the other party quite often as of lately. She stood up. "Jun Hua greets General Soujin."
"Why don"t you stay inside? The wind outside is cold."
Why? Jun Hua wants to gather her thoughts here. She just thinks that there is this matter which is highly complicated to choose from. She hates Lin Tang, but does she wish to destroy his whole life or just making things difficult for him?
"I just want to clear my mind," Jun Hua doesn"t like staying inside for long. If she stays there, she will look at that emperor face for a longer time. It"s a nuisance and she doesn"t know whether she would be able to stay calm if she continues looking. She still needs to stay outside of this matter for some time.
Soujin looks inside and from here he could see some officials from the window. One of them is Lin Tang. He remembers, Jun Hua comes from the Lin family, but Lin Tang didn"t accept her and even use her mother surname for her.
Sighing, he stands to block the wind from her. "Your family is really complicated, little girl."
Jun Hua nodded and smiled wryly. "I cannot choose where I was born."
"You"re correct."
Those words of helplessness is unsuitable for Jun Hua, but she only stating the fact. They can"t choose where they born or who their parents would be. She is just unfortunate to born in such a family where her own father didn"t care for her. At the same time, she is fortunate to have a loving mother and family.
She looks up. "What is General-Prince Soujin come here for?"
"I just walk to ease my boredom. And, you can call me Soujin."
Jun Hua lips twitched. It will be fine when she was dressed as Jun Min, but as Jun Hua, doesn"t its inappropriate? Man and woman are not allowed to get close if they don"t have any relations.h.i.+p such as family or marriage.
"I can"t do that, General Soujin," Jun Hua answered softly.
Soujin didn"t force her. On the back of Soujin, his bodyguard—Lou— almost slipped out from his hiding place when he heard that Soujin allowed Jun Hua to call him by name. It should be known that all of the people who can call him like that is only limited to his close friends and family. Aside from his mother, there are no girls can call him that. Does their Young Master finally set his heart?
"General Soujin, this is for you," Jun Hua took out a bottle. She had almost forgotten about it if not because she meets him when she"s dressed as Jun Hua. She found this bottle when she changed clothes and remembers that this is the medicine she asks her grandfather to search for Soujin.
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 ident.i.ty.
"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 embarra.s.sed 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 t.i.tle 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.
