Father asked him to personally invite Destiny Monk, but his Princess Consort was the Phoenix Girl, so Zhou Huailing would like to learn the news from Destiny Monk directly first.

However, he could not fight against his father.

Zhou Huailing was very confused about what he should do. So he decided to ask Junyi directly.

Junyi had not worked for the Crown Prince’s Mansion for long, but Zhou Huailing could tell that he was very intelligent. He already established his network of messengers, who were all over the capital. Those people provided them with the latest news.

Zhou Huailing followed Junyi’s advice, which often turned out to be right.

Under such circumstances… Zhou Huailing decided to ask Junyi for advice.

Junyi would normally wait for him at the study after he returned from a call from the court.

Zhou Huailing ran into the study and found Junyi waiting for him there, drinking tea.

Zhou Huailing did not show any politeness. He shared the information he learned from the court and asked, “Junyi, what do you think I should do?”

“Crown Prince, just follow the King’s order,” Junyi said, looking relaxed.

Zhou Huailing was a bit confused. He asked anxiously, “I just want to discuss with you what we should do since we already have the Phoenix Girl and Destiny Monk. We should get on with our plan.”

Junyi shook his head.

“Crown Prince, we should not rush into anything. The King trusts you so what we should do is to follow the King’s order. The Princess Consort is the Phoenix Girl, which has already been confirmed, so we don’t have to rush into anything.” Junyi said, “The most important thing is to get the Princess Consort pregnant. We can wait for the others, and see who can laugh last.”

Junyi looked confident.

The Crown Prince was very excited, and so was he.

In his heart, he expected the Crown Prince to take the throne as soon as possible, but it was not yet time.

Zhou Huailing sighed. He understood what Junyi meant.

The most important thing was what Junyi said – to have a child.

He thought for a while, then he seemed to remember that Gu Ruxue was asking for him.

He went to check what was going on.

He patted Junyi’s shoulders and said, “Let’s take a rest, and we will go to the temple tomorrow.”

As he finished speaking, he was about to leave…

When he heard a scream arising from outside.

It was Gu Ruxue…

Before Zhou Huailing could check what was going on, Gu Ruxue was already in the study.

She saw Junyi inside the study.

Her expression sank and she pointed at Junyi. “This servant is here again?”

Then she turned to Zhou Huailing. “You keep me waiting because of this servant?”

Gu Ruxue sounded so sharp and her face had been twisted.

Zhou Huailing looked at Gu Ruxue helplessly.

If not for her identity as the Phoenix Girl, Gu Ruxue would never have the qualification to stay at the Crown Prince’s Mansion.

They had been married for months.
