Chapter 1030: Facts?

When the news was passed onto him, Junyi had been feeling really furious too. He was at a loss as well, but within just a few moments, he pondered the message and came up with the right idea.

He even became very calm after he understood the whole thing.

Actually… Junyi even felt that it was a good thing.

Junyi smiled briefly, telling the Crown Prince and Crown Prince Consort to take the seat, as he gradually explained. “Crown Prince, it is a good thing, we don’t have to do anything about it!”

Zhou Huailing looked very confused.

How could that be a good thing? He, the Crown Prince, had just found his ground and yet the Eldest Prince started to appear. When the Eldest Prince came to the capital, he was definitely going to have to share things with him!

Junyi smiled, then he continued to explain. “Crown Prince, just listen to my analyses, then you will understand!”

“…”

“Let’s talk about the Eldest Prince. What position is he in right now? He doesn’t have a promising mother. She is no more than a small princess. And she has been a princess for years! What can she do? Even if the King is happy enough to promote her and make her the Honored Princess, so what?”

“…”

“The Eldest Prince’s mother was not born in a noble family and her family doesn’t have any power, so no one is going to take his side, otherwise the King would not have asked people from the Min Family to bring him. The Min Family has never been part of the throne game, and they never take sides either.”

“…”

“So the Elder Prince is not a competitor against you. Your mother is from the Yao Family, so what are you so worried about?”

“…”

“And let’s see what you have to share with him?”

“…”

“You are the Crown Prince, so apart from the King, you have the highest status in the court. Also, you have married the Phoenix Girl, so your position can’t be moved or shaken by the Eldest Prince at all.”

“…”

“The reason why the King has done all of this is because of one thing!” Junyi smiled and looked very proud.

“What one thing?” Zhou Huailing asked curiously.

Actually, as Junyi was talking, he was no longer angry, because he more or less understood one point – that was to say, the Elder Prince was not a threat to them at all. The worst he could do was to make the Heir feel a bit disappinted that the King was still not totally confident in his own son.

The King used to say that he was called Ling because he was the most adored child he had. And now, he was still watching out for him.

Junyi smiled. “Crown Prince, on the other hand, it basically means that you are capable and your foundation is solid enough for the King to be worried about you. You are capable enough to fight against him!”

“…”

“The King is trying to make himself feel secure at the moment. With the Eldest Prince balancing you out, he feels that he is in the most stable position.”

“…”

“So what you need to do is to quit thinking about the Eldest Prince. The ministers and civilians have their own judgement about which side to pick.”

Zhou Huailing was both surprised and happy, yet he was a little worried too.

He looked deeply at Junyi. “Junyi, if father never retires, I can’t just wait until my own son grows older to take the throne, can I?”
