The Rebirth of the Prince: Starting from Not Being a Doglicker

Su An left the study and walked towards his own room.

When they opened the door, both the master and the servant in the room were stunned, obviously not expecting him to come back.

"Prince, you're back!" Xiao He looked surprised.

A hint of joy also appeared on Sima Yue's pretty face, but she quickly concealed it.

She tried to make her voice sound nonchalant: "Since you're back, let's have dinner together tonight."

"Okay." Su An nodded.

It just so happened that Su An came to talk to Sima Yue about visiting her parents tomorrow.

Worried that Su An might run away, Xiao He quickly asked the kitchen to send over a table of delicious food, and Su An and Sima Yue sat opposite each other.

Sima Yue was wearing a light blue gauze dress that fitted her curvaceous body, outlining her slender waist and soft, undulating curves. Her pretty face was lightly powdered, her black hair was loose, and her skin was as white as snow.

Sima Yue secretly watched Su An and saw him calmly picking up dishes and eating, behaving calmly and composedly.

Just recently, when the two of them were dining together, he would show a hint of excitement and nervousness because they were both using their chopsticks to pick up the same dish.

Sima Yue found that Su An was obviously different from before. He was more confident and calm. It is said that confident people are often more attractive. Sima Yue suddenly realized that Su An was also a handsome man, and his appearance was even better than Lu Chuan.

Su An is now a little cold and indifferent to her, but Sima Yue finds that she doesn't hate Su An for being like this. Su An is still angry with her, which just shows that Su An really likes her.

She heard from Xiao He that Su An stayed in the study today and basically did not come out. You know, Su An used to be a very lazy person, but now he can do this for her.

This gave Sima Yue an inexplicable sense of accomplishment; she had made a good-for-nothing prodigal son turn back from evil.

"Don't forget to go back to the palace to visit your parents tomorrow morning." Su An took the initiative to speak.

"Visiting my parents." Sima Yue's eyes lit up with an inexplicable light.

For a new bride, visiting her parents means going back to her parents' home. The more powerful her husband's family is, the more attention they will receive from their parents' home.

She returned to the palace as the princess consort of the Marquis of Shenwei. I'm sure those who once looked down on her would be very surprised.

Sima Yue felt excited and couldn't wait to return to the palace.

"What should we prepare and what specifications of ceremonial equipment should we use for the trip?" Sima Yue was thinking quickly.

It is worth mentioning that Su An's father's title was Marquis Shenwei, and its full name was Marquis Shenwei Wu. There was no precedent in the Jin Dynasty to confer a title on a person of a different surname, and the highest title for a military officer was Marquis Wu. Marquis Wu's status was far more noble than that of an ordinary marquis, and was equivalent to that of a prince.

Even the King of Runan was only a prince of a county, with a lower status than the Marquis of Wu.

Sima Yue hopes to return to the Prince of Runan's Palace to visit his relatives tomorrow. The bigger the better, and it would be best if he could use the prince's ceremonial guard of the Marquis of Shenwei.

"Wan'er will arrange everything, you don't have to worry." Su An said slowly.

"But there are some things I need to explain to you first."

Su An and Sima Yue roughly explained what she should do when the time comes, such as not talking nonsense or showing any disapproval.

Except in private spaces like the carriage, the two cannot act too distant. They need to have some appropriate physical contact, such as holding hands, to show the outside world that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess get along well with each other.

This is how powerful families are. They fight endlessly in private, even to the point of fighting to the death, but they must maintain superficial unity when facing the outside world. Otherwise, the entire family will lose face and no one will be in trouble.

"Okay." Sima Yue hesitated for a while, but finally agreed.

"Also, remember to keep your distance from that Lu guy in the palace, and don't do anything that would damage the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion." Su An warned coldly.

Lu Chuan is a distant relative of Sima Yue's mother and currently lives in the Prince of Runan's Palace.

If people saw Sima Yue and Lu Chuan having a secret meeting and the news got out, the Shenwei Marquisate would definitely become a laughing stock and the Runan Prince's Palace would also be humiliated, and it would be embarrassing for everyone.

"He's jealous." Sima Yue's lips curled up slightly. For some reason, she felt happy when she saw Su An's cold look.

Despite Su An's warning, she still decided to go find Lu Chuan secretly. Of course, she didn't want to have a private meeting or anything like that. She just wanted to ask Lu Chuan whether what Xiao He said was true.

"I heard that Wang Shishi came again today?" Sima Yue suddenly thought of something and her face turned a little colder.

"That's right." Su An admitted frankly.

"You are a married man now, keep some distance from her." Sima Yue was a little dissatisfied, "She is also the daughter of a dignified general of the cavalry. She knows that you are married but still tries to get close to you. How shameless she is."

Su glanced at her indifferently and said nothing.

What kind of attitude is this? Sima Yue was a little angry.

She and Lu Chuan had already confirmed their relationship before getting married, and she married Su An only out of pressure, so she didn't think there was any problem between her and Lu Chuan.

Moreover, she and Lu Chuan had only spoken to each other a few times at most.

On the contrary, Wang Shishi knew that Su An was married, but she still stayed so close to him.

Su An was the same. He didn't know how to avoid suspicion at all. He was not happy when I said something to him, and he even thought he was right.

However, Sima Yue really wanted to repair her relationship with Su An. Su An was still angry, and she didn't want to escalate the conflict. She would settle the score with him after their relationship was restored.

Sima Yue kept a pleasant expression and opened his mouth to say something.

"I'm done eating." Su An put down his chopsticks, stood up and left.

After the matter was said and done, his goal was achieved, and he was too lazy to stay any longer, so he had to go back to his study to read.

"Go away, go away, and don't come here again." Sima Yue couldn't hold it in any longer and threw his chopsticks in anger.

Xiao He picked up the chopsticks, feeling a little worried. The prince and the young lady were in conflict again. What she said yesterday did not have much effect. The young lady wanted to win back the prince, but was still unwilling to make more concessions.

What made Xiao He feel most uneasy was that she could feel that the prince's attitude towards the young lady just now was very perfunctory, the kind of perfunctory attitude that showed he didn't care about the young lady at all.

But the lady didn't notice anything.

"Oh." Xiao He could only sigh silently.

After dinner, Su An went to the warehouse and took out some body-tempering elixirs and some Thousand-Forged Mysterious Body.

The first realm of martial arts is called body refining. In addition to using various training methods to strengthen the body, numerous body-building spiritual medicines are also indispensable. These spiritual medicines are what he prepared for his first realm of martial arts.

In comparison, there are very few elixirs suitable for first-level practitioners to nourish their spiritual consciousness, and they are all very precious.

As for those Thousand Forged Mysterious Bodies, they had no other characteristics except being hard and heavy. Su An decided to give them to the swordsmith to forge a heavy black iron sword.

Whether it is the Body Tempering Elixir or the Thousand Forged Mysterious Body, they are rare treasures for ordinary dignitaries, but for the Marquis' Mansion, they can only be regarded as decent collections. When Su An takes these things, he will not alarm the butler like last time.

After finishing all this, Su An went into the study and continued to read about elemental theory until late at night.

During this day, he finished reading most of the knowledge about the basic properties of the fire element.

This speed is undoubtedly amazing, because in Guanwen Palace, it takes more than half a month of courses for students to learn the basic properties of a certain element.
