The eldest daughter became popular after appearing on a family variety show

Chapter 288: Taking over as a substitute
With Jun Jingrui's word "stop", the carriage slowly stopped in front of several people, just blocking their way.

The group saluted Jun Jingrui according to the rules. After Jun Jingrui slowly responded with "Stand up", Ji Zunxing jumped up like a spring.

"Your Highness, it's been a long time."

Thinking that he had Ji Chenxing's support, Ji Zunxing took the initiative to greet Jun Jingrui.

Jun Jingrui lowered his head and looked at Ji Zunxing.

In the past, Ji Zunxing would always avoid him when he saw him, but today was the first time he took the initiative to say hello. Jun Jingrui found it quite interesting.

He watched Ji Chenxing's live broadcast yesterday and knew that Ji Zunxing recognized Ji Chenxing. However, he could not understand the whole picture of the incident just by watching the live broadcast.

Now judging by Ji Zunxing's proactive attitude in greeting, he has probably reconciled with Ji Chenxing.

Jun Jingrui has disliked Ji Zunxing very much recently because this man is too stupid. It is the first time he has seen a first-rank military general being dismissed and directly demoted to a commoner.

If it weren't for Ji Chenxing's matter, Jun Jingrui would never stop the car in front of Ji Zunxing.

Ever since Ji Chenxing came back to life, Jun Jingrui felt more and more that Ji Xueyao was inferior to Ji Chenxing.

Later, what Ji Xueyao and Shen Ruyan did was exposed, which made Jun Heng very upset. He didn't look at Jun Jingrui directly for a long time.

The position of crown prince was almost lost, and Jun Jingrui became even more angry towards Ji Xueyao and Shen Ruyan, mother and daughter.

Jun Jingrui regretted it very much. If he had not joined forces with Shen Ruyan to kill Ji Chenxing, but had married Ji Chenxing, he would probably have become the only crown prince in Jun Heng's heart.

Looking back at his current situation, Jun Jingrui sighed and could only say that it was hard to put into words.

However, it is not impossible to break the deadlock. In fact, as long as I can marry Ji Chenxing, all problems can be solved.

In order to make Daliang develop better, Jun Heng will definitely pass the throne to the person who marries Ji Chenxing. It is not an exaggeration to say that "whoever gets Ji Chenxing gets the world."

When the time comes, he will sit on the throne and use the resources in Ji Chenxing's hands to become a wise ruler whose name will be passed down through the ages.

Ji Chenxing has reached the right age and will probably get married soon. Thinking of this, Jun Jingrui could no longer sit still.

Ji Chenxing is currently at the Ji Mansion, so Jun Jingrui came out in person and prepared to go talk to Ji Chenxing about this matter in person.

But... Jun Jingrui himself knew that the chances of success in this matter were slim. Ji Chenxing seemed to have hated him, and it would not be easy to marry her.

But now that I've met Ji Zunxing, things seem to be becoming clearer.

If Ji Chenxing has really acknowledged Ji Zunxing as his father, then all he needs to do is convince Ji Zunxing.

After all, since ancient times, children's marriages have been arranged by their parents and matchmakers.

Since Ji Chenxing has acknowledged Ji Zunxing as his father, and Ji Zunxing asked Ji Chenxing to get married, Ji Chenxing had to get married.

Ji Zunxing is not as smart as Ji Chenxing. He is short-sighted and very easy to deceive. You just need to throw out some benefits and he will take the bait immediately.

Thinking about it this way, meeting Ji Zunxing today is not a bad thing.

Jun Jingrui adjusted his facial expression and got out of the car with a smile. "Master Ji, how are you?" Jun Jingrui's tone was full of flattery, giving Ji Zunxing enough face.

When had Ji Zunxing ever been treated like this? His old face was almost smiling, and he quickly said politely: "Although I am the father of the princess, I don't have any official position. Your Highness the Crown Prince cannot do anything to me, cannot do anything to me, cannot do anything to me!"

This sentence may sound modest at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it is actually showing off his relationship with Ji Chenxing and praising himself highly.

Jun Jingrui was playing with a folding fan in his hand. He was too lazy to expose Ji Zunxing, so he spoke more modestly and directly:
"I was planning to go to the Princess's Mansion today to propose marriage to Princess Xihe, but I didn't expect to meet Lord Ji. What a coincidence. Since Lord Ji is the Princess's father, I'd better talk to Lord Ji first."

As soon as Jun Jingrui finished speaking, Li Huaimin and Ji Minghan showed expressions of contempt on their faces.

Although Ji Chenxing superficially acknowledged that Ji Zunxing was her father, no matter from the perspective of status or any other aspect, Ji Zunxing had no reason at all for Ji Chenxing to obey his arrangements.

There was no way Jun Jingrui and Ji Zunxing could make this matter work.

Ji Minghan was afraid that Ji Zunxing would say something unpleasant, so he quickly pulled Ji Zunxing aside and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid the princess has already made up her mind about her marriage. Although father is the elder, he can't make the decision for the princess."

Taking Ji Zunxing out of this matter and preventing him from making decisions for Ji Chenxing is the best way to protect his life.

Jun Jingrui was speechless for a moment.

There was nothing wrong with what Ji Minghan said, he understood the logic, but he didn't want to give up this path of Ji Zunxing.

Jun Jingrui looked at Ji Zunxing for help.

Ji Zunxing was also very angry. Ever since he was dismissed from his post, he had been suffering from all kinds of bullying. Everyone looked down on him and laughed at him.

Only today did Jun Jingrui speak to him in such a respectful tone.

Who is Jun Jingrui? He is the current Crown Prince, second only to the emperor and above everyone else. Ordinary people don’t have the opportunity to enjoy the flattery he offers.

Ji Zunxing felt very proud.

As the saying goes, "Don't hit a smiling person." Jun Jingrui spoke to him in such a humble tone that Ji Zunxing had almost made up his mind to help Jun Jingrui get this marriage.

On the one hand, he could make Jun Jingrui owe him a favor, and on the other hand, he could re-establish his authority as a father in front of Ji Chenxing.

Ji Minghan suddenly rushed to refuse, making Ji Zunxing feel very embarrassed.

Jun Jingrui's pleading look made Ji Zunxing feel needed, and his vanity was greatly satisfied.

He would help no matter what!

"Get out of the way, you bastard! Children should not interrupt when adults are talking."

Ji Zunxing impatiently pulled Ji Minghan aside and said to Jun Jingrui with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Highness. No matter how opinionated the princess is, she is still my daughter. Marriage is a big deal. How can a daughter disobey her father's arrangements?"

With Ji Zunxing's assurance, Jun Jingrui felt much more at ease.

Li Huaimin frowned and pulled Ji Minghan aside. "Your Highness, I still have some things to deal with. I will not disturb your Highness and Lord Ji from discussing matters. I will take my leave first."

The necessary reminders have been given, and Ji Minghan has done his best to be kind to Ji Zunxing. However, if Ji Zunxing insists on provoking Ji Chenxing, no one can help him.
