After settling down in Jingzhou, they returned to Jiang Shicheng's mansion on the mountain, freshened up and changed their clothes and prepared for dinner.

"Lord and princess, the imperial grandson said that he was unwell and couldn't come." The maid reported respectfully.

"Got it," Ye Yutai sat down, "let's eat." ”

Su Qingcheng has been busy all day, and her chest is pressed against her back when she is already hungry, and even so, she maintains the most decent eating appearance.

Jiang Shicheng looked at her with relief and tears in his eyes: "I didn't expect the young general to marry a wife, I guess the general should be very relieved to watch the army in the sky." ”

"You don't have to call me Major General," Ye Tangtai slammed the chopsticks with the vegetables, and said, "Before I avenge my father's mother, I don't deserve this title, so let's call me Tangtai." ”

"How dare you call the young general by his name, you might as well call the prince directly."

"Okay."

Jiang Shicheng suddenly drank a glass of wine and said melancholy: "The prince is already so old......

"I came this time, and I still have something to ask my seniors, how much do you know about my mother back then?" Ye Yutai didn't have the heart to eat, he said bluntly.

"The matter of the general's wife is the pain in the hearts of everyone in our Ye Jiajun...... At that time, you were still young, the general was inexplicably sent to the border to fight, he didn't want to go at the time, but the war was tight, I don't know what medicine Dongling took wrong at that time, desperately went to Nanye, the general had no choice but to take the Ye family army to fight, and when he came back, the general's wife died. ”

"The general is very devastated, the first emperor was already dying, the new emperor is about to ascend the throne, the general wants to make trouble, but the prince is young, they are raised in the palace on the grounds that they feel sorry for you, the general has no choice but to keep to himself, and only after they send the prince back will they start to investigate the matter of the general's wife."

"But that is because they have cleaned up the clues, and the general has not found anything, at this moment, the news of the Ye family's treason came out, and the general received the news in advance, asking us to send the prince to the temple and announce his retirement."

Jiang Shicheng said something and took a sip of wine, and finally burst into tears: "It's the Ye family's army that is incompetent and failed to protect the general's wife and general...... I don't know how to face them so far. ”

Ye Yutai was obviously also immersed in grief and did not speak.

Su Chengcheng 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, if you didn't send the prince to the temple, there would be no meeting today, right?" ”

Seeing this, Jiang Shicheng was very excited to clink glasses with Su Qingcheng and drank them all, and said, "Thank you, princess." ”

At this moment, someone sent a message: "Lord Qiqi, the holy decree has arrived. ”

Ye Chengtai came back to his senses and pulled Su Tingcheng to hide behind the screen, Su Tingcheng looked at his state and quipped: "What's the matter, retreated?" Didn't we already know who the enemy was? ”

One sentence made the originally sad Ye Yutai laugh: "This king is afraid that the princess will escape." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Outside the screen, the messenger was reading the holy decree: "Carried by heaven, the emperor said." Duanwang Fu Xingzhou misbehaved, united with Jingzhou Liu Zhixian to dig gold mines, now deprived Fu Xingzhou of Duanwang's identity, demoted to the common people, Jingzhou Governor County Mansion full of beheading, thinking that Liu Sizi took the initiative to admit guilt, sentenced the Liu family to exile, and handed over the gold coefficient. The matter of Qingshui City was handed over to the imperial grandson and the Ye family. ”

The imperial grandson came out of the room and knelt down to receive the decree.

After the holy decree was read, there were only a few people left in the Jiang Mansion.

"Now that King Duan has been demoted to a commoner, Qingshui's trip will be much easier this time." Jiang Shicheng put away the holy decree and faced everyone.

"Don't take it lightly, let's leave tomorrow." Su Chengcheng Road.

Everyone had no objection, and after finishing the meal, they went back to their rooms to rest.

Su Chengcheng naturally followed Ye Yutai back to his room, and after lying on the bed, she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, but it was not because of a headache, but because of the reaction of the imperial grandson.

"You say, the imperial grandson won't collapse." She knew that Ye Yutai beside her was not asleep, so she asked.

"If you can't even stand this little mistake, it's better to give up this position early." Ye Yutai said with his eyes closed.

"But right now, your leg disease is not well, we need someone to occupy this position first," Su Qingcheng calmly analyzed, thinking about it, he suddenly got up and put on a fox fur jacket, "No, I'm going to talk to him." ”

"This king will go with you." Ye Yutai also wanted to get up, but was pushed back by Su Qingcheng.

"No, you can put pressure on him instead."

After that, she turned around and walked out of the room, it was early winter, the cold wind was biting outside, and Su Qingcheng's face was stinging, but the fox skin that Ye Yutai prepared for her was a high-quality product, 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 going back to the room, and just as she was puzzled, she saw a figure drinking at the stairs of the lobby.

Su Chengcheng walked over and sat down next to him, poured himself a glass without saying a word, and said, "Why are you here?" It's cool at night. ”

"Cousin-in-law, you said that if Xue Rou knew, how disappointed she would be in me......"

The emperor raised his head, but the black clouds completely covered the moon, and there was not even a star in the sky.

"Disappointment what? Disappointed, you are simply easy to deceive, or disappointed that you didn't bring her Jingzhou specialties. ”

The imperial grandson was amused, but behind the smile was sadness: "Since she gave birth to a child, I have been overwhelmed by one thing after another, I just ...... It's so tight that I really don't have anything to do with the so-called Oiran girl. ”

"I know," Su Tingcheng smiled slightly, "I sent someone to inquire, and the Oiran girl said that you pulled her to talk about the process of your love with the imperial concubine one night, and she said that she hoped you would never go again." ”

"Hahaha I drank too much at that time," the imperial grandson scratched his head embarrassedly, "Although I may marry another woman as a concubine, Xuerou is definitely the woman I love the most in my life." ”

"Will you still marry another woman?" Su Qingcheng asked.

"Of course," replied the imperial grandson without thinking, "during the period when my cousin was not ready to accept this position, there must have been many people who kept stuffing all kinds of women around me, and I couldn't refuse." ”

"Then have you ever thought about being a couple with her for the rest of your life?" Su Chengcheng lost her mind for a moment, and by the time she reacted, the words had already come out.

The imperial grandson thought for a moment and shook his head: "It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, let alone in the royal family, it is my responsibility to spread the branches for the royal family." ”

Su Tingcheng smiled, clinked glasses with him, and changed the topic: "Why did you suddenly want to keep the position of the imperial grandson for your cousin?" ”

"My cousin is the best man I've ever met, and this position should be his ......"
