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

Outside the bamboo forest, Danqing, who was wearing a white dress with a black horse-faced skirt, was holding a sword and waiting for Su An. She saw the figure in white from afar.

As they got closer, Danqing was about to speak, but when he saw Su An's appearance clearly, he was stunned.

I haven't seen you for a month, and the prince has changed a lot.

The prince used to be thin and a little skinny, but now he looks very tall and straight, like a sharp sword.

It seems that the prince has gained a lot this month.

Danqing collected his thoughts and said, "Prince, dinner has been prepared and the lady is waiting for you."

Su An nodded and said, "Let's go."

The two of them walked all the way to the dining room. The mahogany round table was already filled with delicious dishes. Su Wan sat at the table waiting without picking up her chopsticks.

Su An stepped into the dining room.

"Wan'er." Su An sat down at the table.

"How do you feel about this month?"

"good."

"It seems that the prince has become more handsome." Feiyue behind Su Wan suddenly said.

In the past, Su An indulged in fun and often stayed up late, so it was inevitable that he had some acne on his face. But in the past month, Su An has maintained a regular schedule and a healthy metabolism, so his skin looks a lot better and his appearance has indeed improved.

Su Wan also observed carefully. Compared with a month ago, Su An's eyes were bright and he looked energetic, and he looked much more energetic.

"How's the hype I told you about last time going?" Su An asked. Before he went into seclusion, he told Su Wan that he would use the Marquis' Mansion to publicize the poem he wrote. He wanted to know what the results were now.

Su Wan was paying attention to the news in this regard. In fact, it was not only the Marquis' Mansion that was spreading the news. As Su An was the son-in-law of the Prince of Runan's Mansion, the Prince of Runan was even more dedicated in promoting the poem.

Whenever I attend various poetry and literary gatherings, I always take it out for everyone to critique.

He wished that everyone in the royal capital would know that his son-in-law was gifted in poetry.

However, the image of Su An as a good-for-nothing prince was too deeply rooted in people's minds, and most people in the outside world sneered at it. After all, the poem was of some quality. They believed that it was written by Prince Runan and attributed to Su An. This was Prince Runan's attempt to clear the reputation of his son-in-law.

Of course, there are still a very small number of people who are skeptical about this matter. Fortunately, the Prince of Runan is an idle prince, a relatively sophisticated and cultured person with a good reputation, and he does not seem like someone who would do such a thing.

All in all, the effect of this publicity was not very good, but at least it let everyone in Beijing know about it.

This will make things much more convenient tomorrow.

One of the important reasons why Su An chose to come out now is that the Fifth Prince will hold a literary gathering tomorrow afternoon.

The Fifth Prince was a bit like the Prince of Runan when he was young. He was also a prince who did not show much ambition for the throne and was fond of elegant things.

He was the son of a certain imperial concubine in the deep palace. Later, due to the unfortunate death of that imperial concubine, he was adopted by the Queen. Therefore, he had a close relationship with the Crown Prince and was considered a member of the Crown Prince's camp.

The Fifth Prince specifically sent his butler to deliver an invitation to this literary gathering, inviting the Marquis Shenwei’s son and his wife, and Su Wan.

The Fifth Prince was not familiar with them, so why did he invite them? It couldn't be really because Su An wrote that poem.

"Someone from the prince's camp wants to see me." Su An guessed.

Su Wan was a little surprised that Su An could figure out the key. He was not as stupid as before.

"That's probably the case," Su Wan said. "In the past month, the Prince of Runan and the King of Runan have come to see you several times and invited you to various gatherings."

"Oh, right." Su Wan seemed to have thought of something and said, "Deng Yao also came here once this month."

"Deng Yao." Su An silently recited the name.

Deng Yao is the son of General Wei. His father’s status is equivalent to that of General Huoqi. Both are titled generals of the Wuwei Camp. It is because of him that Su An has a lot of “friends”.

General Wei was a member of the Second Prince's camp, and since Su An was married to the Prince of Runan, she naturally stood in the Crown Prince's camp.

The Second Prince's side let Deng Yao contact him even though they knew that he was related by marriage to the Prince of Runan's Mansion. It was simply because they still had expectations of him. After all, Sima Yue was a concubine's daughter, and it was not like she could not divorce him.

The emperor just received bad news not long ago. He went insane while practicing and his old injuries recurred. He may not live long. Now the princes are fighting for the throne, and the struggle between them is intensifying.

Although the Shenwei Marquisate is powerful, it is now at a critical period of succession to the throne. It would be a good choice to find an advantageous party to join.

As the legitimate heir of the Jin Dynasty, and his biological mother, the empress, is the legitimate daughter of the Wei family, a thousand-year-old aristocratic family, the crown prince is undoubtedly the most likely to inherit the throne among the many princes.

But the second prince is equally powerful. He is the second-in-command of the Jin military. The General of the Wuwei Camp is in his camp, and he has the support of military giants like General Wei, so he is not much worse than the crown prince.

But this is not the point. The point is that when Su An was reborn in his previous life, the emperor was still sitting in that position.

By that time, the crown prince and the second prince had already turned into dry bones in the tomb.

Therefore, Su An felt that it would be meaningless no matter which prince's side the Marquisate stood on.

It would be better to remain neutral. He will divorce his wife soon anyway, and then he will have nothing to do with the prince's side.

"There's no rush to decide which side to take. We still need to ask our father's opinion," Su An said. "The risk of changing the throne is too great. There's no need to rush into it."

Su Wan nodded, agreeing with Su An's point of view.

Although he is not planning to join the prince's camp, he will definitely go to tomorrow's literary gathering. Zhou Qingyu is also among the invited guests. Let's see if he can take this opportunity to turn hostility into friendship.

"How is Sima Yue doing recently?" Su An asked.

"Pretty well-behaved." Su Wan gave a brief account of Sima Yue's situation this month.

During this period, Sima Yue stayed at home and rarely went out. He did not compete with her for power. He stayed in the Marquis' Mansion. The most thing he did was to read in the yard. Occasionally, he would come to her to ask about Su An's situation, but he did not disturb Su An's thoughts.

"I feel like her attitude towards you is a little different." Su Wan said.

Although she didn't know what happened between Sima Yue and Su An, she was obviously much more obedient, and every time she came to inquire about Su An's situation, the concern in her eyes was real.

Su An certainly noticed Sima Yue's change in attitude.

However, there is a saying that belated affection is more cheap than grass. He still remembers what she did to him in his previous life. No matter how affectionate Sima Yue is now, he will not be moved.

"The day after tomorrow morning, I plan to go to the Prince of Runan's Palace." Su An said.

"Divorce?" Su Wan raised her eyebrows.

"Yeah." Su An said.

It's been a month, and it's time for him and Sima Yue to put an end to their relationship.

"Sima Yue should know that you want to divorce her. The maidservant beside her came to me once and hinted that she was willing to give up her position as the Crown Prince's Consort and become your concubine." Su Wan said.

"What are you going to do?"

"We don't need her." Su An said indifferently.

If something really happened between him and Sima Yue on the day he was reborn, it would not be impossible to keep her as a concubine.

But that night, for Lu Chuan, she was determined to be a chaste and heroic woman.

Su An doesn't have the habit of being a green person.

After dinner, Su An got to know the prince.

The Marquis' Mansion knew quite a bit about the Crown Prince. After reading it, Su An concluded that:

Lustful.

The prince is particularly good to his wife.

Once, he saw that the wife of one of his subordinates was beautiful and plump, so he abducted her and played with her in the prince's mansion for several days.

It is said that when the woman was sent back home, she had been tortured to the point of insanity and no longer looked like a human.

This forced the subordinate, who was originally loyal to the prince, into a rage and attempted an assassination, although he failed.

This prince had many precedents of raping women from the people. Once, he abducted a mother and daughter from the common people. The husband was brutally killed. Finally, the purple bodies of the mother and daughter were found in a stinking ditch.

The most extravagant thing about this prince was that he liked to invite some powerful people to play group games together, such as exchanging and eye-catching, which was truly licentious and immoral.

It can only be said that he was able to become the crown prince because he was the emperor's eldest son, the heir according to the clan law, and his mother's family was very powerful.
