Su Qingcheng was amused and said, "But it's all lumpy."

"I just like eating lumpy noodles," Ye Tantai finished the Yangchun noodles in two or three mouthfuls, feeling very happy, "Did you come to me just to give you this bowl of noodles?"

Su Qingcheng looked a little unnatural and said: "I just think that the prince has been in a bad mood since hearing the imperial edict yesterday, and I am just worried about you."

Her last words sounded much softer than the previous ones, and her ears turned red unconsciously.

The smile on Ye Tantai's lips deepened. He liked Su Qingcheng who was so direct. He raised his head, felt the gentle autumn wind and moonlight, and opened his heart.

"Actually, I had already guessed that he would threaten me with that thing."

Su Qingcheng knew that he was referring to the relics of the emperor and the former empress dowager, so she didn't seem too surprised and said lightly: "I guessed it too."

"Why?" Ye Tantai asked.

"The prince's reaction yesterday was not one of surprise, but more of a...sadness. You really want to get back the relics that belong to your mother."

Su Qingcheng empathized. She knew how her mother's things felt when others took them, so she tried every means to get her mother's dowry back from Liu Rumei and her daughter.

She put herself in Ye Tantai's shoes. After experiencing such a big change, she should want to get back what her mother left for her.

"Then it seems that my king has almost been seen through by the princess. This is dangerous." Ye Tantai teased, but there was a strange emotion in his eyes.

He changed back to the titles of prince and princess.

Su Qingcheng didn't know why, she could judge Ye Tantai's mood from his expression, body movements and tone of voice.

In other words, Ye Tantai is in a good mood now, but he has returned to his previous appearance, which means that he has no intention of continuing to delve into this topic.

"Let's go home." Su Qingcheng said calmly.

Ye Tantai was slightly startled. He felt very comfortable getting along with Su Qingcheng: "Okay."

Su Qingcheng stood up from the chair, and after walking a few steps, she found that the person behind her had not followed her: "Your Majesty, aren't you leaving?"

"Wait, I will bring something for the princess." After saying that, Ye Tantai turned around and walked towards the Ye Mansion. Su Qingcheng was very confused, but she still stood there and waited for him.

After a while, Ye Tantai came out with a few beads in his hand. He took Su Qingcheng's hand and placed it in her palm.

"This is a birthday gift from my father on my childhood birthday."

Su Qingcheng looked at the beads in her palm, but couldn't tell what they were made of or what they did.

"Why did the prince give it to me?" she asked puzzledly.

Ye Tantai smiled mysteriously and walked forward past Su Qingcheng: "Just think of it as a way to thank the princess for the longevity noodles."

Longevity noodles?

"Wait a minute..." Su Qingcheng caught up with Ye Tantai and asked in surprise, "Is today the prince's birthday? Why has no one in the house ever mentioned it?"

"I haven't celebrated my birthday in many years. Thanks to the princess, I got to eat longevity noodles on my birthday this year."

Ye Tantai's eyes were shining, he was really happy.

"Then you should also tell me. We are husband and wife. If I don't even know the prince's birthday, wouldn't it be so incompetent." Su Qingcheng followed him and walked towards the gate of Ye Mansion.

"If I tell the princess, will I receive a birthday gift?"

"Hmm..." This question stopped Su Qingcheng. After thinking for a moment, she nodded, "Yes."

Ye Tantai laughed happily and said, "Okay, I'm looking forward to a gift from the princess for her birthday next year."

With that said, the two of them had arrived at the door of Ye Mansion.

Ye Tantai walked out of the mansion openly and openly, and the guards dressed as imperial guards at the door saluted.

The two got on the carriage and returned to Yunan Prince's Mansion.

The next day.

Su Qingcheng sent Dan Mo to write a post to Shu Lanru. Within an hour, Dan Mo came back with the post.

"Princess, Miss Shu lives in Princess Huaining's mansion in the capital. The guards at the door ignored me. I said it was Princess Yunan's post, but they seemed not to have heard it."

Su Qingcheng was thoughtful. She took the post back and said, "It's okay. The wedding date has been set. She won't let Shu Lanru see me."

"Have you visited everyone around the princess's residence?"

"Well, the bun shop not far away said that someone should live in the house, but the door has not been opened for a long time. I asked him if there was a back door, and he said he didn't know."

"I see."

Dan Mo secretly observed Su Qingcheng's expression and said cautiously: "Princess, that Shu Lanru is going to marry into the palace to steal the prince's love. Why do you care about her so much?"

Su Qingcheng explained sternly: "The prince's love is not something that can be snatched away. Besides...Shu Lanru is my friend, so she must have her own reasons."

Dan Mo realized that he had said the wrong thing, lowered his head and said, "Then I will continue to go to the princess mansion and keep an eye on her."

"Ah."

royal palace.

Su Qingcang hurried from the Su Mansion to the Yangxin Hall. The emperor urgently announced his entry into the palace half an hour ago.

Wearing official uniform, he knelt on the ground with his hands clasped and saluted: "See Your Majesty."

Su Qingcang glanced at Fu Xingzhou, who was kneeling beside him, and had an answer to the emperor's urgent call.

"My dear, Prince Duan just told me that he wants to marry the second daughter of the Su family. What do you think?"

Su Qingcang's face was expressionless, making it difficult to see his emotions, and he said: "Ruoxi is just a concubine, and marrying Prince Duan is probably too high."

Fu Xingzhou, who lowered his head, had a trace of sarcasm in his eyes and cursed: This old man is quite good at pretending.

"Oh? What does Prince Duan think?"

Fu Xingzhou raised his head, gritted his teeth and said, "I fell in love with Miss Su Er at first sight, and I will never marry her except her in this life."

The emperor raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "But I have heard some rumors about Miss Su Er and His Highness Duan Wang before, and I remember that not long ago, your thirteenth brother said that he wanted to marry Miss Su Er. Why is it your turn now? Already?"

The wrinkles under his eyes were knitted together, pressure emanating from the inside out, and Su Qingcang's eyebrows were frowning underneath.

Su Qingcang realized that Fu Xingzhou had deliberately said "love at first sight, heart-to-heart" just now, just to remind the emperor of Su Ruoxi's rumors...

The corners of Fu Xingzhou's mouth raised slightly, and his eyes showed deep shock: "What? Does the Thirteenth Brother also have a past with Miss Su Er?"

"Don't you know?" the emperor asked tentatively.

Fu Xingzhou shook his head, with a look of disappointment in his eyes: "At that time, I was still thinking about it in Nanshan Villa. I didn't expect that my thirteenth brother would also..."

When it came to Nanshan Villa, the originally serious emperor's expression softened a lot, and he said with emotion: "You and your thirteenth brother are deeply in love. If you hurt your feelings for a woman, it will be more than worth the loss."

Su Qingcang sneered, he knew Fu Xingzhou would not be so honest...
