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

The third day after Su An and Sima Yue’s marriage was also the newlyweds’ Homecoming Day, the day when Sima Yue returned to the Prince of Runan’s Mansion to visit her relatives.

Su Wan got up in the early morning hours and started to work on related matters with the maids and servants in the mansion, preparing formal attire for the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, preparing ceremonial equipment for Su An's trip, and dispatching accompanying personnel.

Although Su An is the eldest son of Marquis Shenwei, he has not yet truly inherited the title of Marquis Shenwei, so the ceremonial guard certainly cannot use the ceremonial guard of the prince of Marquis Shenwei, but must be slightly simplified on this basis.

Despite this, Su An's traveling team was still huge and powerful.

The Prince of Runan's Palace was located on Kuiyuan Street, close to the imperial city. Those living nearby were either members of the royal family or royal relatives. It was some distance away from the Marquis of Shenwei's Palace.

The convoy of the Marquis' Mansion was traveling on a main road in the royal capital. This main road was called Xuanwu Street, which was more than a hundred feet wide. On weekdays, street vendors were hawking their wares, pedestrians were bustling about, and all kinds of carriages came and went.

But today, the bustling Xuanwu Street was briefly cleared because of the team from the Shenwei Marquis Mansion.

The cavalrymen from the Marquis's Mansion, holding long spears and wearing black armor, patrolled back and forth about fifty feet from the center of the avenue to both sides, isolating the crowds of people who came to watch the excitement along the road, and the area in the middle was closed to traffic.

At the same time, at the corner where Xuanwu Street connects to Kuiyuan Street, the steward of the Prince of Runan's Mansion, along with a group of servants, were welcoming the carriage of the son of the Marquis of Shenwei.

The marriage between Su An and Sima Yue was arranged by the Prince of Runan's Palace, so both the Prince of Runan and the Princess attached great importance to Sima Yue's return to the palace to visit his relatives today.

At the beginning of the Chenshi period (eight o'clock in the morning), the housekeeper brought people here early and had been waiting for more than half an hour.

On Xuanwu Street, not far from the palace steward, a young man in brocade clothes was standing on the street, looking in the direction of the marquis' mansion and waiting.

He was about the same age as Wang Wu, but he was tall and thin, looked a little listless, had a pale face, and walked with a weak gait, as if he had indulged in excessive sexual activities.

He was surrounded by a group of young men with slicked-back hair and fine clothes, all of whom were about the same age as him.

The young man in brocade clothes is named Sima Xin, Sima Yue’s younger brother. The young men around him are his good friends and brothers, all of whom are second-generations from powerful families.

"Why hasn't he come yet?" Sima Xin looked impatient. This Su An was really something. He hadn't arrived yet and made him wait for so long.

If his mother hadn't insisted that he come to greet Su An, and he had boasted about it in front of his brothers, who wanted to see how powerful his brother-in-law was, he would not have come to wait for Su An.

Suddenly, on the distant horizon, in the center of the empty Xuanwu Avenue, a huge team appeared, with the large flag of the Shenwei Marquis Mansion embroidered with the purple word "Su" fluttering in the wind, and was slowly coming towards this side.

The guard of honor of Marquis Shenwei is equivalent to the guard of honor of the prince. So how luxurious is the guard of honor of the prince?

The Jin Dynasty had a rule that the prince's ceremonial guards were to have four "wuzhang", four "weigua", four "weigua", four "guduo". One "hongluo" embroidered five-dragon curved-handle cover. Two "hongluo" embroidered four-season flower umbrellas, two "hongluo" embroidered gold-auspicious grass umbrellas, two "hongluo" embroidered four-season flower fans, and two "qingluo" embroidered peacock fans. Ten "banners", two "big banners", two "striped banners". Four "leopard-tailed" spears and four "ceremonial swords".

Su An's ceremonial procession was only slightly simplified on this basis, but the grandness and luxury of the team made Sima Xin stare in amazement.

Not to mention anything else, just the white horses that pulled Su'an's carriage had pure white fur, were tall and strong, and were even bigger than the King of Runan's mount, the horse with the blood of an exotic beast. Although he couldn't recognize what breed it was, he could tell from its appearance that it was definitely the most precious kind of horse.

The people were quarantined all around, and everyone was looking at the luxurious team of the Prince of Shenwei with amazement and shock.

Even the dignitaries who were watching the scene were filled with envy and jealousy.

This kind of attention made Sima Xin extremely envious. Being surrounded by people and having servants like ants, wasn't this exactly the life he wanted?

During this return trip, Su An, the eldest son of Marquis Shenwei, demonstrated the power of the Marquis Shenwei Mansion to everyone present.

The senior butler of the Prince of Runan's Palace smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face blossomed like chrysanthemums when he saw this scene. Miss Sima Yue's return home was a great honor for the Prince of Runan's Palace with such a grand ceremony.

"Ah Xin, your brother-in-law is so awesome. Even my mother's show is not as grand as this one." The speaker was the son of a favored princess of the dynasty.

"Of course, you don't even look at who my brother-in-law is." Sima Xin looked proud.

A young man with a mole on his face, with shifty eyes, laughed and said, "Ah Xin, your sister must be very beautiful, to make your brother-in-law so devoted to her."

This statement was echoed by the other young men. Most of them had seen Sima Yue and were deeply impressed by his appearance.

"You said last time that your brother-in-law tried to please you in every way," another young man said suspiciously. "But your brother-in-law is the son of the Marquis of Shenwei. Looking at this situation..."

Sima Xin always said that his brother-in-law tried to please him and make him happy for his sister. Seeing Su An's attitude today, the young man doubted the truth of his words.

"So what if he's the son of Marquis Shenwei? He still has to please me." Sima Xin snorted coldly.

In order to pursue Sima Yue, Su An did lower himself to his brother-in-law, so even though Su An was the eldest son of Marquis Shenwei, Sima Xin did not have the slightest respect for him.

He also felt that this was natural. If Su An wanted to marry his sister, then of course he had to treat him well unconditionally. Otherwise, why would his mother have trained his sister to be so outstanding?

In terms of appearance, his sister is one of the four great beauties in the capital. In terms of manners, his mother spent a lot of money to raise Sima Yue to be elegant and dignified. Wasn't it for the purpose of letting her marry a good husband so that she can help him, her younger brother?

"What is your brother-in-law's identity and your status? Why would he try to please you?" The other young man obviously did not believe Sima Xin's words. He sneered with disdain on his face.

Sima Xin's face flushed, and he argued, "That's because you didn't see how he usually treated me."

"I eat the hundred-year-old ginseng from the Shenwei Marquis's Mansion as a snack. I drink the spiritual tea Ziyanyue, which was given to the Shenwei Marquis's Mansion by the royal family, as water."

"There is also the blood ginseng, you know, it is a natural treasure, if I ask for it, he will give it to me."

When the young men heard this, they all laughed with joy. It was true that they were the second generation who were lazy and liked to eat, but they were not ignorant.

Blood ginseng, a spiritual medicine of this level, many of their families either have very few or don't even have one.

Sima Xin said that if he wanted it, the son of the Marquis of Shenwei would give it to him?

Who are you kidding?!

In fact, what Sima Xin said was not without basis. Su An knew that Sima Xin wanted to learn martial arts, and in order to please Sima Yue, he did mention this. In his previous life, he really gave the blood ginseng to Sima Xin.

"How about this, if your brother-in-law can let you sit in the carriage and take you to enjoy the feeling of being the center of attention, we will trust you." The young man with shifty eyes rolled his eyes and said with a chuckle.

"If I ask him, he will definitely agree, no proof required." Sima Xinren was not very smart, but he still felt that such behavior was inappropriate and wanted to refuse.

The other young men booed in derision when they heard this.

Sima Xin suddenly looked angry.

"Let's go." Sima Xin felt that he could not embarrass himself in front of so many brothers, and he really wanted to experience that feeling and then be the center of attention in front of his brothers.
