The Concubine Strikes Back: The Marquis Insists on Me to Be His Wife

After a long three months, Jiang Weiyang and Su Qing finally set foot on the land of Shangjing City.

The emperor had been waiting outside the city early in the morning, eagerly waiting to welcome their return. Before this, no one had ever thought that they could successfully recapture the Jin Kingdom, and this feat really relieved the emperor of a worry.

Jiang Weiyang and Su Qing saw the emperor welcoming them from outside the city from afar, and they were flattered. He and Su Qing hurriedly dismounted, walked forward quickly, and then saluted respectfully with Su Qing: "Your Highness, I, Jiang Weiyang, and your wife Su Qing, pay my respects to the emperor. Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

The emperor was delighted. He personally stepped forward and helped Jiang Weiyang up, saying cordially, "My dear, there is no need to be polite. I have already prepared a feast in the palace to welcome you. Please follow me into the palace!"

Su Qing followed closely beside Jiang Weiyang, taking light steps, and they entered the palace together.

Entering the palace, the banquet was filled with all kinds of delicacies. The emperor happily raised his glass and said loudly: "This time, Jiang Aiqing was both wise and brave, and his military exploits were outstanding. He deserves a generous reward!"

Then, the emperor looked solemn and continued, "My dear Jiang, I have appointed you as the King of Wu'an. You are entrusted with an important task and are stationed at the border. You must protect our territory and ensure peace.

Su Qing is virtuous, supports her husband and raises her children, and has a dignified character. I specially confer her the title of First-Class Lady as a reward.

And your second son Jiang Yan is smart and talented. I will name him Prince Yan, hoping that he will be able to serve our dynasty in the future and bring honor to our family."

Jiang Weiyang and Su Qing quickly put down their wine glasses and stepped forward to salute: "Your Majesty, thank you for your grace."

"No need for formalities! You two can go back and have a good rest. We can set off in a month! Tell me if you need anything. As for the Jin princess in your house, I grant her death." The emperor said in a majestic tone.

"Yes, I obey your order."

Su Qing and Jiang Weiyang returned to their seats. Jiang Weiyang frowned slightly, looking troubled, while Su Qing was calm and composed, thinking that she could survive well wherever she went.

After the banquet, Jiang Weiyang and Su Qing returned to the Marquis' Mansion and first paid their respects to the old Marquis and the old lady.

Then he told the old marquis and the old lady what the emperor said. …

The old marquis thought for a moment and said, "This is not bad. It's better to be a king than a marquis. Your mother and I will start to pack up and take care of it from now on. As long as our family is together, it will be fine. You are tired, and the children are asleep. Go back and rest first!"

Jiang Weiyang and Su Qing returned to Yilan Courtyard, and several maids were in tears.

"Why are you crying? We won't be separated from now on. Let me ask you, is the Princess of the Kingdom of Jin paralyzed?"

Su Qing pulled Wu Yanran over and asked, because before she left, she specifically assigned Wu Yanran a task, which was to drug the Princess of Jin every day.

"How can Madam's wish not come true?"

"Okay, you guys go back and rest first! You guys should start packing up tomorrow! And call all the managers over."

After giving everything, I went to sleep. It was really tiring to travel all the way.

One month later, the sun was shining and the breeze was blowing. Jiang Weiyang and Su Qing, along with their family, embarked on a long journey to the border.

Almost all the servants in the mansion resolutely chose to follow them, and the entire mansion seemed empty.

Carriages loaded with luggage and daily necessities moved slowly forward. Jiang Weiyang rode on a tall horse with a firm and deep gaze, while Su Qing sat in the carriage, occasionally lifting the curtain to look at the scenery outside.

The children were playing and laughing in the carriage, unaware of the hardships that lay ahead.

In the long team, there were loyal guards, elderly housekeepers and hardworking maids.

They carried packages, drove carriages, or followed on foot. The sound of horse hooves, wheels, and people's footsteps intertwined, breaking the tranquility of the road.

The scenery along the way was picturesque. They were both nervous about the unknown life in the frontier and full of expectations and longings for the future.
