After her rebirth, she became the sweetheart of the sickly uncle.

Not long after, Xiao Tao came back from outside and said excitedly: "Success. Those guards took the money and went out to have fun. Let's go out quickly."

Su Ruoxi changed into a pair of ordinary clothes. While changing, Xiao Tao whispered: "Miss, you haven't bought new clothes for a long time. The Thirteenth Prince gave you a lot of money before, and Xiao Tao secretly saved it for you. , we can go shopping in the ready-to-wear pavilion. Recently, some new fabrics from Beiyuan have appeared in the capital, which are quite different from those from Nanye."

But Su Ruoxi hesitated and said: "Would it be too blatant to go to a hotel with private rooms and visit the ready-to-wear pavilion... There are many people in Beijing who know me."

Xiao Tao apologized as if she had said something wrong: "It's Xiao Tao who didn't think carefully. It's just because all the ladies in the capital are wearing them. Xiao Tao just thinks that our ladies will look much better in them than them."

"In that case, let's go. It's because I'm not here. If I were here, there would be nothing to do with those ladies." Su Ruoxi admired herself in the mirror, full of confidence.

But at this moment, in her heart, she secretly compared the Thirteenth Prince with Fu Xingzhou.

From the corner of her eye, she glanced at the clothing fabrics Fu Xingzhou had sent to her in the closet. Although they were expensive, most of them were outdated fabrics from the capital many years ago.

It must have been collecting dust in Prince Duan's Mansion for a long time before it was sent to her.

Su Ruoxi turned her eyes back to herself in the mirror and smiled with satisfaction. She needed Fu Xingzhou's status and the Thirteenth Prince's money, and that was enough.

The two put on ordinary people's clothes and quietly got out of the dog hole in the backyard.

At this time, an earth-shattering event was also happening in Yunan Palace.

The palace gate was lined with palace people and carriages.

Eunuch Zhou walked into the palace in small steps, followed by guards in red uniforms, all holding large or small gift boxes in their hands.

After receiving the news, Su Qingcheng and Ye Tantai were already sitting firmly in the lobby, waiting for the arrival of the imperial edict.

Su Qingcheng really couldn't figure out what kind of imperial edict Emperor Nanye would issue at this point in time. Could it be that something different would happen in Yunan Palace than in the previous life?

Eunuch Zhou came to the lobby and saluted the two of them first: "King Yunan, Princess Yunan, An, we are here to read out the imperial edict under the orders of the Holy One."

"You're welcome, father-in-law, just declare the decree."

Ye Tantai didn't have too many expressions. He was always indifferent to the royal people.

Eunuch Zhou cleared his throat, and Su Qingcheng and Su Qingcheng got down from their seats and knelt down to receive the order.

The former said in a sharp voice: "It is the destiny of heaven, the emperor has issued an edict. King Yu Nan had done great service in protecting the country, and he married the legitimate daughter of the Su family a year ago. They are a perfect match. But the backyard is empty, and my grandson's family is lonely. I I sleep uneasily every day. I hope that my grandchildren will be prosperous and that the four generations will live under the same roof. I specially give Shu Lanru, the daughter of the Shu family, to be the concubine of the Royal South King. She will marry late on the fifth day of the next month."

Ye Tantai's expression was cold, and he knelt on the spot with his eyebrows furrowed. He had no intention of accepting the order. He glanced at Su Qingcheng worriedly, and the two looked at each other.

"King Yunan, this is a great event. Princess Huaining heard about it and gave her a lot of things. Look, these are all here." Eunuch Zhou pointed to the piles of boxes behind him with a joyful tone.

Ye Tantai paid no attention to him and had no intention of accepting the edict: "I remember that I just told the emperor not long ago that I don't want to have a concubine, so why is this edict still passed down?"

His dark eyes were like stars falling in a cold pond, and he questioned Eunuch Zhou blankly, making everyone in the palace shudder.

"Our family doesn't know either. The holy will cannot be understood." Eunuch Zhou became nervous, a drop of sweat dripping from his forehead. The aura emanating from Ye Tantai was really suffocating. He knelt down and looked at Su Qingcheng as if he was asking for help. He said, "Princess, hurry up and accept the order. Our family has to go back to recover."

Su Qingcheng felt calm. She glanced at Ye Tantai lightly, reached out and patted his hand to express comfort.

The two of them tacitly understood each other without saying too much, and each had their own thoughts in mind. Eunuch Zhou just knelt on the ground in embarrassment. The person behind him was neither putting things down nor letting them go.

Su Qingcheng and Ye Tantai just knelt on the ground, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

"This king cannot accept this imperial edict."

Su Qingcheng was shocked. She was already surprised that Ye Dantai Mian Sheng refused to force the marriage, but now she had never expected to resist the decree in public.

Eunuch Zhou was so frightened that he kowtowed several times and trembled. The guards behind him also knelt down.

"King Yunan, think twice. Disobedience and disobedience will lead to... beheading."

As soon as these words came out, the guards behind him also said: "King Yunan, think twice."

"I have said that this decree will not be accepted. You should go back and report to the Holy Majesty." Ye Tantai ignored it, with a calm expression on his face, as if he was talking about something insignificant.

He took Su Qingcheng's hand over his and squeezed it gently.

Eunuch Zhou tremblingly took out a handkerchief from his clothes and wiped his sweat. He turned to Su Qingcheng and begged: "I hope Princess Yunan can persuade the prince. If the prince is determined to resist this imperial edict, the lives of all of us may be lost." There is no guarantee, and besides, this may also affect the Su family."

Hearing this, Ye Tantai frowned and stopped him: "I am the one who resisted this imperial edict. What did you say to the princess?"

The intention to protect his wife is particularly obvious.

Su Qingcheng sighed softly and tried to let go of Ye Tantai's hand, but the other party's hold was too tight. He even pressed harder after seeing her intention to break away.

She let Ye Tantai hold it, looked at Eunuch Zhou calmly, and said: "Excuse me, Eunuch Zhou, I'd like to ask you for a trip. It's not that the prince refuses to accept the edict, but we at Yunan Palace have some doubts about this edict. I hope the Holy One can clear up my doubts." ."

"Then the prince and princess can just go and see the saint. It's better to accept the imperial edict first." Eunuch Zhou handed the hot potato to Su Qingcheng with both hands.

The latter smiled and did not take it.

Su Qingcheng stretched out her hand and pushed it over, gently shaking her head and saying: "If we accept this imperial edict, then it will be regarded as our Yunan Palace's consent, and we will not be able to explain it clearly in the future."

"Ouch," Eunuch Zhou patted his thigh anxiously and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "My prince and princess, what do you want our family to do before we accept the order..."

"I hope Eunuch Zhou will take this imperial edict to the Holy One and pass it on to the Holy One. The palace has three questions and I hope the Holy One can answer them and clear up their doubts. Does the girl from the Shu family know, can respond, and is willing to give this marriage to the Shu family girl?"

"That's it?" Eunuch Zhou secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Su Qingcheng was going to ask some difficult questions.

"That's it," Su Qingcheng smiled faintly and handed the broken silver in her hand to Eunuch Zhou, "I hope Eunuch Zhou can move faster. Before the Holy Emperor replies, we and I will not get up. The prince has an injury on his foot. It really hurts my wife.
