Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 462: Destiny Monk

Both Zhou Huaijin and Gu Chaoyan were staring at Princess Xunyang in confusion as well.

Princess Xunyang sat down and said seriously, “I just ran into Father who told me that both of you are here in the court. I asked him what you are here for, so he told me that you are getting married, but only after Chaoyan becomes an adult next year.”

Zhou Huaijin nodded.

That was true, but… Zhou Huaijin asked in confusion, “So why is it related to you?”

His sister never seemed to care about a thing as someone that grew up in the court, but suddenly she started to show concern.

Princess Xunyang gave him an expression of “you-know-nothing”. Then she turned to Gu Chaoyan and said seriously, “Chaoyan, you are holding the adulthood ceremony in winter and you need an assistant! I have never been to anyone’s adulthood ceremony before, and the Princess Consort of Lord Ling said that it is a great deal of fun! I know no one except for you, so you have to get me to become your assistant at your ceremony!”

Princess Xunyang looked very determined as if she were going to wait for Gu Chaoyan to approve her proposal before leaving.

As the assistant position was mentioned, Zhou Huaijin thought that Princess Xunyang had done a great job today, though she was always going about doing mental stuff all the time.

If she had not mentioned it, he would not have thought about this at all.

On the adulthood ceremony, Chaoyan should invite her girlfriends to attend the ceremony. Zhou Huaijin did not want any of the sisters at the Gu Mansion, but Chaoyan did not seem to have any girlfriends in the capital with the same age, so Xunyang was suited perfectly as the assistant in identity and age.

If he remembered that right, Gu Ruxue was a few months older than Chaoyan and her adulthood ceremony was around the corner too. At that time, the ceremony was going to be held at Lord Ling’s Mansion.

Chaoyan was the real lineal daughter of the family, so her ceremony should be better than Gu Ruxue’s. So Xunyang was definitely going to be the assistant. And apart from that, a host and a witness were needed as well, and both of them should be well-selected. They should be at least proper and influential enough for Chaoyan as the lineal daughter, but not Gu Zhenkang.

He thought it was a great idea, but he still needed to see if Chaoyan liked it.

Zhou Huaijin looked at Gu Chaoyan…

So did Xunyang.

Gu Chaoyan had no idea what an adulthood ceremony was like, but she liked Princess Xunyang, so if she was willing to do so, she would of course approve of the proposal.

She nodded with a smile. “Okay.”

Xunyang let out a sigh of relief and said happily, “Then I am looking forward to your adulthood ceremony!”

“Luckily I ran into the King today, otherwise I would never know about your adulthood ceremony and I would have missed it! You barely come to the court, and my position would have been stolen away by someone else!” Xunyang complained.

Xunyang started to eat after she said these words.

Gu Chaoyan smiled. She was feeling slightly helpless. It seemed that apart from Yuanxiang, she had no other friends who might possibly steal the position.

She took up the chopsticks and started to eat. Xunyang had already eaten quite a lot.

Then she suddenly thought of something. “Mother, who is Destiny Monk? Can he really read the destiny? Why are Father and his men looking for him all the time?”

Gu Chaoyan’s face sank as she heard the name.
