After her rebirth, she became the sweetheart of the sickly uncle.
Chapter 257 Demoted to Common People
After settling their affairs in Jingzhou, they returned to Jiang Shicheng's mansion on the mountain, freshened up, changed clothes, and prepared for a meal.
"My lord and princess, the emperor's grandson said that he is not feeling well and cannot come." The maid reported respectfully.
"I know," Ye Tantai sat down, "Let's eat."
After a busy day, Su Qingcheng was already hungry, her chest pressed against her back, but even so, she maintained the most decent eating posture.
Jiang Shicheng looked at her with relief, with tears in his eyes: "I didn't expect the young general to have a wife. I think the general must be very happy to see her in the sky."
"You don't have to call me Young General," Ye Tantai paused while picking up vegetables with his chopsticks and said, "Until I avenge my parents, I don't deserve this title, so you might as well call me Tantai."
"How dare you call the Major General by his first name? You might as well call him Prince."
"it is good."
Jiang Shicheng suddenly drank a glass of wine and said melancholy: "The prince is already so old..."
"I came here this time and wanted to ask my seniors one more thing. How much do you know about my mother's affairs back then?" Ye Tantai said bluntly, not wanting to eat.
"The matter about the general's wife is the heartache of everyone in our Ye family army... You were still young at that time, and the general was sent to fight on the border for no reason. He didn't want to go at the time, but the war was tight. I don't know what kind of medicine Dong Ling took at the time, so he tried his best To fight in Nanye, the general had no choice but to lead the Ye family army on the expedition, and when he came back, the general’s wife was dead.”
"The general was very devastated. The late emperor was already dying, and the new emperor was about to ascend the throne. The general wanted to make trouble, but the prince was young. They raised him in the palace because they felt sorry for you. The general had no choice but to stay calm and wait for them to send the prince back. Only then did I start investigating the general’s wife.”
"But they had already cleared up the clues, and the general found nothing. At this moment, news of the Ye family's treason came out. The general received the news in advance and asked us to send the prince to the temple and announce his retirement. "
Jiang Shicheng spoke for a while, took a sip of wine, and finally burst into tears: "It was the Ye family's army that was incompetent and failed to protect the general's wife and the general... I still don't know how to face them."
Ye Tantai was obviously immersed in sadness and remained silent.
Su Qingcheng had been listening silently, but now the gloomy atmosphere made her stop her chopsticks. She poured herself a glass of wine, handed it to Jiang Shicheng, and said: "Ye Jiajun has done a very good job. It was not you who sent the prince to this place." There won’t be a meeting today in the temple, right?”
When Jiang Shicheng saw this, he clinked glasses with Su Qingcheng very excitedly and drank it all in one gulp, saying, "Thank you, Princess."
At this moment, someone spread the news: "Master Qi, the imperial edict has arrived."
Ye Tantai came to his senses and pulled Su Qingcheng to hide behind the screen. Su Qingcheng glanced at his state and joked: "Why, are you retreating? Don't we already know who the enemy is?"
One sentence made Ye Tantai, who was originally looking sad, laugh: "The king is afraid that the princess will run away from the battle."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
Outside the screen, the postman who delivered the letter was reading the imperial edict: "By God's will, the Emperor Zhao said. Prince Duanzhou Fu Xingzhou behaved badly and collaborated with Jingzhou Liuzhi County to mine gold mines privately. Fu Xingzhou is now deprived of his status as Duanwang and demoted to a commoner. The county magistrate of Jingzhou has a full house. Copy and execute, thinking that the fourth son of Liu took the initiative to plead guilty, sentenced the Liu family to exile, and handed over the gold coefficient. The matter of Qingshui City was fully handed over to the emperor's grandson and the Ye family army."
The emperor's grandson came out of the room and knelt down to receive the order.
After the imperial edict was read out, there were only a few people left in the Jiang family.
"Now that King Duan has been demoted to common people, Qing Shui and his party will feel much more relaxed this time." Jiang Shicheng put away the imperial edict and faced everyone.
"We still can't take it lightly. Let's set off tomorrow." Su Qingcheng said.
Everyone had no objections and went back to their rooms to rest after finishing their meal.
Su Qingcheng naturally followed Ye Tantai back to his room. After lying on the bed, she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, but it was not because of her headache, but because of the emperor's grandson's reaction.
"Tell me, the emperor's grandson won't be depressed, right?" She asked, knowing that Ye Tantai beside her was not asleep either.
"If you can't bear this small mistake, you might as well give up this position early." Ye Tantai said with his eyes closed.
"But your leg problem hasn't healed yet, we need someone to occupy this position first," Su Qingcheng analyzed calmly, thinking about it and suddenly stood up and put on a fox fur coat, "No, I want to talk to him. .”
"I will go with you." Ye Tantai also wanted to get up, but was pushed back by Su Qingcheng.
"No, if you go, it will put pressure on him."
After saying that, she turned and walked out of the room. It was early winter, and the cold wind outside was biting. Su Qingcheng's face was stung by the wind, but the fox fur Ye Tantai prepared for her was of the highest quality, and her body was very warm.
She knocked on the door of the emperor's grandson's room and was told that the emperor's grandson was not going back to his room. Just when she was confused, she saw a figure drinking alcohol on the stairs in the lobby.
Su Qingcheng walked over and sat down next to him. Without saying a word, she poured herself a glass and said, "Why are you here? It's cold at night."
"Cousin, if Xuerou knew about it, how disappointed she would be in me..."
The emperor's grandson looked up, but the black clouds completely covered the moon, and there was not even a star in the sky.
"What are you disappointed about? Disappointed that you are easy to deceive, or disappointed that you didn't bring her Jingzhou specialties."
The emperor's grandson was amused, but there was sadness behind the smile: "Ever since she gave birth, I have been overwhelmed by one thing after another. I'm just... too tense. I really can't do anything with the so-called court lady. No."
"I know," Su Qingcheng smiled slightly, "I sent someone to inquire, and the oiran girl said that you talked to her all night about the love process between you and the imperial concubine, and she said that she hoped you would never go again."
"Hahaha, I drank too much at the time," the emperor's grandson scratched his head in embarrassment, "Although I may marry another woman as my concubine, Xuerou is definitely the woman I love most in my life."
"Will you still marry another woman?" Su Qingcheng asked.
"Of course," the emperor's grandson replied without thinking, "while my cousin is not ready to accept this position, there will be many people who will keep pushing all kinds of women around me. I can't refuse." .”
"Then have you ever thought about being with her for the rest of your life?" Su Qingcheng was stunned for a moment, and by the time she came to her senses, she had already asked.
The emperor's grandson thought for a moment and shook his head: "It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that he is in the royal family. It is my responsibility to spread the branches and leaves of the royal family."
Su Qingcheng smiled, clinked glasses with him, and changed the subject: "Why do you suddenly want to keep the position of the emperor's grandson for your cousin?"
"My cousin is the most outstanding man I have ever met. This position should belong to him..."
