Maybe because of the concerned look of his, but Gu Chaoyan nodded without realizing that.
She was not that badly injured. Her magical water could help her recover by the following day, but all of a sudden, she did not want to use the magical water any more. It felt really great to be cared for.
Gu Chaoyan looked up at Zhou Huaijin with her clear eyes. “Why are you treating me so nicely?”
“You are the future Princess of the Lord Huai!” Zhou Huaijin said with a natural tone.
In the aspect of love and relationship, Gu Chaoyan was not a very smart person, but she knew that love and relationship was always complicated.
However, if he approved of her position as the Princess, then she was going to make herself worth the title.
As the title of Princess was mentioned, Zhou Huaijin suddenly thought of something. “Yan, let’s get married as soon as possible, so no one will dare to cause you trouble!” Zhou Huaijin said and found it a great idea. “I will talk about this with my mother tomorrow!”
“No.” Gu Chaoyan turned down the proposal directly.
“Why?”
She could not marry Zhou Huaijin now in this way. The King and the Queen might give her trouble, even if no one else dared to. She was not capable enough to escape the death sentence from the imperial dominators.
Also… she would like to get married when she was in her best state. She did not want Zhou Huaijin to be laughed at by anyone behind their back.
“Let’s talk about this when I turn 15.”
“…”
“And I would like to study at Saint College.” Gu Chaoyan told him about her original plan.
“You are going to Saint College?” Before Zhou Huaijin could say anything, a very crispy girl’s voice arose.
Zhou Huaijin and Gu Chaoyan turned to the direction of voice and saw two girls coming their way. One of them was familiar to Chaoyan, namely Princess Xunyang. What was she doing here? And why was she asking her the question?
“Greetings, Brother Lord Huai!”
“Greetings, Brother Lord Huai!”
The two girls bowed.
Gu Chaoyan was in the lowest status among all of them. She did not want to pass them any greetings, but she had to bow. She was about to do the bowing when Zhou Huaijin stopped her. “You are injured, just skip the bowing.”
Princess Xunyang did not care about the skipped step, but turned to Chaoyan. “Are you going to write the examination to enter Saint College?”
Gu Chaoyan nodded.
Princess Xunyang might look very careless, yet she was not at all annoying.
“Bah, not everyone is able to enter Saint College. You have to evaluate yourself before making the decision.” It was a girl standing next to Princess Xunyang who was talking. The girl looked at Gu Chaoyan disdainfully. “You are just someone with a little knowledge of medicine.”
She was not qualified to enter Saint College. She was just the daughter of a low-ranked officer.
Having said the words, County Princess Anxi threw a look at Zhou Huaijin and said with a gentle tone, “Brother Lord Huai, we have got so many imperial doctors, why do we need a humiliated lady like her?”
Zhou Huaijin gave out a cold look. His expression started to become lethal and he was about to do something, when Gu Chaoyan said quickly, “How do you know that I won’t make it? What are you going to do, if I really make it into Saint College?”
Gu Chaoyan looked sharp. She was a lady with no social status, but she was not somebody to be bullied.
County Princess Anxi snorted, “You think you can do that?”
