1757 Junyi’s Visit 2

The strategist who served the previous Crown Prince?

Zhou Huaijin didn’t have a strong impression of him, but she certainly did. They had crossed paths before in Bingzhou. She had to admit that the man was exceptionally intelligent, as he had devised a solution to save Prime Minister Chu from a dangerous situation.

However…

...

He was incredibly arrogant, carrying grudges within his heart. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have chosen to align himself with Zhou Huailing, despite his own remarkable talents.

When Zhou Huailing ascended to the position of Lord Ling and gained the respect of the officers as the Crown Prince, it was largely due to this strategist’s ideas.

Moreover, it seemed that this strategist held a disdain for women. That explained why he had consistently humiliated her.

Now that the previous Crown Prince was no more, it appeared that the strategist had not been by his side during his demise.

Unexpectedly…

He was here in the court, alone.

She was quite curious to see why he had come alone to the court.

While Gu Chaoyan was lost in her thoughts, Sword One helped her change into a casual blouse. She decided to go and meet him, saying, “Shall we go and see him?”

Zhou Huaijin initially intended to decline the strategist’s request. He had no interest in wasting time on someone like him. He would rather have breakfast with Chaoyan. However, since Chaoyan expressed curiosity in meeting him, he agreed to the meeting.

Zhou Huaijin granted the strategist entry into the court.

Gu Chaoyan, despite being the Queen, chose to dress in her usual simple attire without any elaborate ornaments or vibrant colors. Zhou Huaijin respected her preference.

Chaoyan disliked the complexities and intricacies of extravagant dresses. On the day of her coronation, she had frowned upon the opulent attire.

He wouldn’t force her to wear what she didn’t like.

After the summons, it took quite some time for Junyi to finally arrive at Fengxian Palace.

He was merely a strategist who had served the previous Crown Prince, holding a relatively low rank within the hierarchy. In the Saint Divine Land, strategists were not highly regarded and were often considered to be on par with businessmen in terms of social status.

As per the protocol, strategists had to wait outside the palace when summoned or requested to meet with high-ranking individuals. Thus, it took a considerable amount of time for Junyi to reach the throne room.

Junyi displayed great respect and greeted the King and Queen in a polite manner.

Rather than immediately asking him to rise, Zhou Huaijin carefully observed him.

While strategists may not hold a prestigious position, they were still expected to adhere to certain principles and decorum.

Unlike businessmen who were primarily driven by profit, strategists operated by their own set of rules. For instance, Xie Yan, who had sought their assistance, had even come to pay his respects to them in the capital during the coronation ceremony. Despite this, Xie Yan had declined their offer to work as a strategist.

Well…

Xie Yan worked for Zhou Huailing, and he could not possibly turn to serve other people from the imperial family.

Because of this, Xie Yan had become their friend.

They and Xie Yan met by accident.

And Junyi was here for some other purpose, obviously.

That was why Zhou Huaijin did not respect him as much.

Though he might be working so hard and achieve greatly when serving Zhou Huailing.

“Mr. Strategist for the previous Crown Prince. What are you asking to see me for?” Zhou Huailing asked.
