Chapter 292 Great Cleverness

Before meeting Ji Zunxing this morning, Zhuge Tong had actually suggested that Jun Jingrui go find Ji Zunxing.

Zhuge Tong thought that instead of trying hard to please the difficult Ji Chenxing, it would be better to bribe her father Ji Zunxing.

Children’s marriage must have the support of their parents, and Ji Chenxing can only marry a man that Ji Zunxing agrees with.

Jun Jingrui did not take Zhuge Tong’s advice to heart at first, until he met Ji Zunxing in the morning.

Jun Jingrui changed his mind and thought of Zhuge Tong’s previous suggestion, so he went to find Ji Zunxing to try it out. Unexpectedly, it really worked.

The betrothal gift was delivered to Ji Zunxing in the morning, and Ji Chenxing came out in the afternoon, wearing clothes of a similar color to his.

Most likely it was Ji Zunxing who got the job done!

Ji Chenxing is of noble status now, and it is a great honor for him to be able to establish a relationship with her.

If you could become her man, it would be something that everyone in the world would envy, just like marrying a fairy.

Sitting in Jiushao Hall, Jun Jingrui only felt that the eyes looking at him from all directions were full of envy and jealousy, and the voices around him were discussing the affairs between him and Ji Chenxing.

“I heard that a distinguished guest came today. Your Highness, do you know who the distinguished guest is?”

Zhuge Tong’s low voice came from behind Jun Jingrui.

Lu Yuzhou’s identity was extraordinary, and the fewer people who knew about his coming, the better, so Jun Heng did not disclose the news about Lu Yuzhou, but only said that there was a distinguished guest who came from afar.

So now, except for Ji Chenxing, the princes and ministers present here don’t know the news about Lu Yuzhou.

Jun Jingrui certainly didn’t know either.

But Zhuge Tong was just a commoner, and Jun Jingrui didn’t want to expose the fact that he didn’t know about this matter in front of him.

“What’s the point of asking these questions?” Jun Jingrui used anger to cover up his ignorance.

Zhuge Tong scratched his head in grievance, “Your Highness, asking this is certainly useful!”

This time it was Jun Jingrui’s turn to look doubtful and incredulous.

Looking at Jun Jingrui’s expression, Zhuge Tong cleared his throat proudly.

“Your Highness, if the arrival of this guest makes His Majesty happy, you can take advantage of His Majesty’s good mood and propose to marry the princess in front of him.

“And think about it, if you ask His Majesty in front of the distinguished guests, His Majesty will definitely not reject your face. After all, you are a family, and you can’t let outsiders see the excitement of you and your son looking alike.”

Jun Jingrui showed a surprised expression. What Zhuge Tong said was an easy-to-understand truth, but he did not expect it.

The main reason was that Jun Heng had some strong opinions about him before, which led to Jun Jingrui being cautious in what he said and did, for fear of accidentally touching Jun Heng’s reverse scale.

Jun Jingrui nodded and fell into deep thought.

“Let me think about it carefully… If I say this directly, will my father think that I am threatening him?”

Zhuge Tong immediately shook his head, “Your Highness, you can’t think like that!”

“The emperor’s mind is hard to predict. Princess Xihe has helped Daliang so much. Maybe His Majesty is also trying to find a way to keep her in the royal family, but he just hasn’t found a suitable reason yet.”

As Zhuge Tongyi spoke, he observed Jun Jingrui’s expression so that he could correct himself immediately in case he said something unpleasant.

But from beginning to end, Jun Jingrui’s expression was always in deep thought. It can be seen that he really wants to marry Ji Chenxing, but he is also really afraid of Jun Heng.

Zhuge Tong’s eyes turned, and he first looked in the direction of Ji Chenxing, then turned his head back with a smile.

“Your Highness, look, the princess is wearing the same color clothes as you today. You two look very compatible.”

This point really hit Jun Jingrui’s heart. He was just thinking about this when Zhuge Tong said it. Jun Jingrui couldn’t help but look at Zhuge Tong sideways: It seems that this guy is really something.

Zhuge Tong saw through Jun Jingrui’s thoughts, and in order to make Jun Jingrui trust him more, he continued to give Jun Jingrui advice.

After all, Jun Jingxing promised him that as long as he could successfully pull Jun Jingrui down from the position of crown prince, Jun Jingxing would fulfill one of his wishes.

Zhuge Tong had a bedridden mother at home, and it would cost a lot of money to cure her.

Zhuge Tong couldn’t come up with the idea of ​​letting Jun Jingxing ascend to the throne of crown prince, but he was full of bad ideas to make Jun Jingrui make mistakes.

In order to make Jun Jingrui do more bad things in front of Jun Heng, Zhuge Tong must persuade him this time.

“Your Highness, do you think that the princess wearing this color of clothes is hinting that she likes you too?”

As soon as Zhuge Tong finished speaking, Jun Jingrui’s eyes lit up.

When Zhuge Tong saw the change in Jun Jingrui’s expression, he knew there would be hope this time.

“Your Highness, the princess is a girl, and she would be too embarrassed to ask for marriage herself, so you have to take the initiative to ask His Majesty.

“Once this is accomplished, His Majesty, you, and the princess will all benefit from it, and they will definitely praise you highly!”

Although Jun Jingrui didn’t say anything, his heartbeat began to accelerate.

It would be a lie to say that he wasn’t excited. If he could really satisfy both Ji Chenxing and Jun Heng, then his position as crown prince would be more secure.

Moreover, once such a connection with Ji Chenxing is established, it would be a piece of cake to inherit the throne.

So this is actually a high-risk, high-return thing.

While Jun Jingrui was thinking about this, Zhuge Tong was also closely observing Jun Jingrui’s expression.

Soon, he analyzed Jun Jingrui’s thoughts, and then advised: “You can’t get a tiger cub without risking it. Your Highness, if you miss the opportunity today, it will be difficult to find such an opportunity in the future.

“In this vast world, there is only one woman like you. If you miss her today, what if someone else gets there first in the future…”

That’s all I have to say. Zhuge Tong will not say the rest. Jun Jingrui will think about it himself.

After Zhuge Tong finished speaking, Jun Jingrui fell into deep thought. He looked at Ji Chenxing in the distance from time to time, wanting to give Ji Chenxing a surprise.

Zhuge Tong secretly made a “relieved” expression to Jun Jingxing who was not far away, seemingly inadvertently.

Jun Jingrui’s plans here have all been sent to Ji Chenxing through the live broadcast system.

Ji Chenxing seemed not to pay attention to Jun Jingrui’s situation, but in fact he knew the situation well.

After listening to the bad advice Zhuge Tong gave to Jun Jingrui, Ji Chenxing almost laughed. It was simply too outrageous.

With the help of Zhuge Tong, a wise man, there is no need to worry that Jun Jingrui will live too long.

As Ji Chenxing was thinking, Jun Heng brought Lu Yuzhou in.
