Chu Qingxuan glanced at the people in the court and finally fixed her gaze on Ruan Qingchen.
"What does the Imperial Advisor think?"
Ruan Qingchen cupped her hands and said, "I will obey Your Majesty."
Chu Qingxuan smiled slightly and glanced at Jun Zilin beside her, "Then what does the Prime Minister think?"
"I think this is inappropriate."
After Jun Zilin spoke, Chu Qingxuan and Ruan Qingchen watched him with amusement.
At the same time, the ministers who were still arguing stopped and all stared at Jun Zilin.
"Oh?" Chu Qingxuan smiled and said while sitting upright, "Prime Minister, please tell me."
Jun Zilin said seriously, "Xuefeng Kingdom has indeed been a long-term partner of the Tianqi Dynasty, but the peace of these past few years seems like a harbinger of an impending storm. It is not safe for the Princess to marry there."
Chu Qingxuan glanced at Ruan Qingchen, who then said, "Not necessarily."
Jun Zilin suddenly looked at Ruan Qingchen and gave her a wink. Ruan Qingchen pretended not to see it and continued, "The marriage between Tianqi and Xuefeng might allow peace to continue. Now that the Crown Prince of Xuefeng wants to marry the Eldest Princess as his Crown Princess, it might not be such a bad thing."
Chu Qingxuan rested her chin on her hand as she listened to Ruan Qingchen speak.
In the instant Chu Qingxuan lowered her gaze, she saw Jun Zilin tugging at Ruan Qingchen's clothes, as if reminding Ruan Qingchen to stop talking.
But Ruan Qingchen seemed not to hear her and continued to list a whole bunch of benefits for Chu Qingwan marrying Murong Ze.
Chu Qingxuan was almost tempted by what she heard.
At this moment, Jun Zilin's face was extremely ugly.
Seeing that things had progressed to the point, Ruan Qingchen suddenly changed the subject, saying, "However... it still depends on the Princess's willingness."
Everyone: "..."
Chu Qingxuan smiled as she gazed at Ruan Qingchen's expressionless face and suddenly found Ruan Qingchen somewhat adorable.
She suppressed a laugh and coughed lightly, "It seems that the Grand Preceptor's thoughts are similar to mine. I only have one younger sister, and I'm really reluctant to send her away."
"Then let's listen to the Imperial Advisor and wait for the Princess's reply."
"Dismiss the court."
Chu Qingxuan and Ruan Qingchen conspired to trick Jun Zilin, who discovered it after court.
Once outside, Jun Zilin looked grim. He grabbed Ruan Qingchen's clothes and said, "Ruan Qingchen, are we still friends? How could you try to trick me like that!"
Ruan Qingchen stared at Jun Zilin with a blank expression, silently condemning his behavior.
"I see now, you conspired with His Majesty to frame me, didn't you!"
Ruan Qingchen neither shook her head nor nodded.
His eyes met Jun Zilin's angry gaze, and his slender fingers pointed at Jun Zilin's chest as he said seriously, "You have Princess Chu Qingwan here."
The gentleman paused, frozen in place.
After a long silence, Jun Zilin smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, you guessed right, the person in my heart is indeed the Eldest Princess."
Then, Jun Zilin raised his head and said, "So as your brother, Ruan Qingchen, you'd better not cause me any trouble."
Ruan Qingchen gave him a disdainful look. "I'm the one who helped you."
Jun Zilin: "..." You almost pushed my wife out, okay?
The person in Junzilin's heart is indeed Chu Qingwan. He had already fallen for Chu Qingwan the night Chu Qingxuan sent him to rescue her.
After that, his feelings for Chu Qingwan spread like wildfire, and he became deeply ingrained in her heart.
But he didn't say anything, he just carefully protected Chu Qingwan.
They hadn't found him when Murong Ze suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
That's absolutely despicable.
