Ji Chengjue shook his head and said:
"He did it on purpose. He's reminding Father that I'm in good terms with Zheng Fan, and that I'm about to get married. Meanwhile, his previously interrupted marriage with the county princess should be brought back on the schedule."
"I was foolish."
Master Zhang hastily admitted fault. Earlier, he was solely focused on mocking the Crown Prince in front of his master, failing to discern the deep meaning behind the Crown Prince's actions.
"Is everything arranged?" Ji Chengjue asked.
"It's arranged, master, but..."
"But what?"
"Master, you're going to lay out all our cards, isn't that..."
"Master Zhang."
"I'm here, Your Majesty."
"Since I entered the capital this time, I've said that I have no way back. Before, Father could whittle away and suppress the people around me because there wasn't anyone I couldn't give up.
Now,
I'm a father."
"Master, the child in the lady's belly is also His Majesty's grandchild."
