If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

In addition to a dozen envoys from the Southern Dynasty, there were also a group of servants, all of whom were there to serve their Princess Chen along the way.

Originally, everyone speculated that even if Lu Yuan returned to become a prince, his status would not be higher than that of the other two princes. But seeing the grand ceremony of the Southern Dynasty to welcome Shen Sui'an, who would dare to say that Lu Yuan was not valued enough in the Southern Dynasty?

Queen Ruan also ordered her personal maid Qingsu to come to Yong Dynasty. Qingsu was not only Queen Ruan's personal maid, but also the deputy general in the women's army.

Usually, he is responsible for protecting Queen Ruan's safety in the palace.

This time she came on behalf of Queen Ruan to protect Shen Sui'an, which shows how much Queen Ruan values ​​this daughter-in-law.

When Qing Su entered Shangjing City, he did not follow the envoy to live in the Honglu Temple, but went to Qilin Lane with dozens of followers to pay a visit to their princess.

Shen Sui'an looked at the huge group of people and was a little confused.

"Your servants pay their respects to Princess Chen. May your Highness be blessed with good health." Qing Su took the lead in kneeling and performed the ceremony respectfully.

"You are..." Shen Suian was stunned.

Just now, Banjian said that there were people from the Nanchao outside asking to see her, but she didn't expect there would be so many.

Qing Su folded her hands in front of her and replied respectfully, "My name is Qing Su. The Queen ordered me to serve you during your trip."

She glanced at Shen Suian without leaving a trace, and when she saw Shen Suian's slightly bulging belly, surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Princess, let me introduce the others." Qing Su said.

Shen Suian nodded. She knew that Queen Ruan and Lu Yuan would definitely send someone to pick her up, but she didn’t expect... so many people would come.

Qing Su introduced them one by one, and said that all of these people would enter the palace to serve Shen Sui'an in the future.

The maids standing beside Shen Sui'an secretly wrote down their names.

"Your Highness, these people were personally selected by Prince Chen and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If there is any one whose service makes Your Highness dissatisfied, you can simply replace him." Qing Su said in a low voice.

Shen Sui'an's eyes swept over them gently. At first glance, they were obedient and well-educated servants. Since they were chosen by Lu Yuan and the prince, they were naturally trustworthy.

"Banjian, go and arrange the rooms so that everyone can stay there first." Shen Suian said with a smile.

Shen Sui'an only left Qing Su behind.

"Miss Qingsu, the two countries are thousands of miles apart. I don't know what the prince is doing in the Southern Dynasty now. I need your guidance along the way." Although he didn't know Qingsu's origins, Shen Sui'an could still see that Qingsu was different from other maids.

She should be the capable maidservant beside the Queen.

Qing Su smiled and said, "Princess, you are embarrassing me. No matter what you ask, I will answer you without hesitation."

Shen Sui'an lowered his head and smiled, "Your Majesty, are you used to living in the Southern Dynasty?"

"My princess, when I set out to leave the royal capital, the prince was already the commander-in-chief of the newly established Pacification Office," Qing Su said.

"Why did I hear that he was going to marry another princess?" Shen Suian asked with a smile.

"Our prince already has a princess who is married to him in a formal ceremony. Moreover, the prince has told everyone that he only has you as his princess and he will not take concubines. This means that the ministers don't have to go to great lengths to try to put people into his palace." Qing Su replied.

This is something Lu Yuan would do.

However, no one expected that the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty would actually hand over the Zhenfu Division to Lu Yuan.

Shen Sui'an asked about Fu Jinyi's health again. When she heard that he had not been ill since he returned, she showed a relieved expression.

Qing Su asked in a low voice, "Princess, are there any other people you want to take with you when you go to the Southern Dynasty this time?"

"I'm afraid it won't be easy to leave the city." Shen Suian's eyebrows moved slightly.

She knew that Concubine Yao was still investigating the butcher's whereabouts. Although she had hidden the person very well, it was not easy for Concubine Yao's people to find him.

But when the second prince ascends the throne and Concubine Yao becomes the empress dowager, she will have greater power and may use any means to find the butcher.

Qing Su: "As long as the princess orders, I will do my best to arrange it."

Shen Sui'an nodded slightly, "I'll discuss it with them first."

She asked about the situation in the Southern Dynasty, and Shen Sui'an was relieved to hear that everything was going well.

Fortunately, although Lu Yuan’s situation in the Southern Dynasty is difficult, his life should not be in danger.

His short life in his previous life might have been due to other reasons.

"When you come this time, will the envoy ask the Yong Dynasty to release He Jingyao?" Shen Suian asked in a low voice.

Qing Su was slightly stunned, "He Jingyao... is in the hands of the princess?"

Shen Sui'an took a sip of tea from the cup and said, "He's not here. He was taken away by the emperor."

"My princess, the queen has never mentioned Lord He to me." Qing Su was a smart person. She knew as soon as she heard it that He Jingyao was captured by Shen Sui'an.

Even if we take him back, I'm afraid he will be a useless person.

Xie Changyu secretly told her that the wounds on He Jingyao's legs had become festering and had not been treated properly, and were almost festered and could not be cured at all.

"Miss Qingsu." She spoke softly.

"Princess, you can just call me Qingsu." Qingsu said hurriedly.

Shen Sui'an called in a few maids and introduced them to Qingsu, "If you need anything in the mansion, tell Banjian."

"Yes, Princess." Qing Su bowed to Ban Jian and the others again, "I am a little older, so I am arrogant enough to call myself elder sister. I hope you can give me guidance in the future."

Banjian wondered why they would mind calling Qingsu "sister". She was someone close to the Queen of the Southern Dynasty, and they would have to greet her often in the future.

"Sister Qingsu, you're too polite."

Qingsu's gaze lingered on Ningshuang and Fuqiu for a moment longer.

You can tell at a glance that they are martial artists.

She was extremely surprised and thought that maybe she would be able to join the women's army in the future.

The next day, envoys from the Southern Dynasty came to the palace to meet the emperor.

However, the emperor was seriously ill, so he asked the envoy to perform the ceremony in the Yangxin Palace and asked the second prince to deliver the message on his behalf.

"I am very pleased to hear about Lu Yuan's life story. I have watched Lu Yuan grow up and become a talent. I hope that he can make a difference in the Southern Dynasty in the future and establish more beneficial alliances between the two countries."

Not long after, Shen Sui'an was given the title of Princess.

From then on, Princess Le'an was Princess Le'an.

How could it not be considered an excellent marriage for a princess of the Yong Dynasty to marry a prince of the Southern Dynasty?

The Second Prince was somewhat confused, "Father, are you over-respecting... Shen Sui'an?"

He originally wanted to talk about Lu Yuan.

It is obvious that his subordinates, who used to have to rely on him, are now able to stand on equal footing with him.

I feel a little uncomfortable.

The emperor slightly lifted his eyelids and looked at him. "After I pass away, within five years, you must stabilize the internal affairs and external affairs, maintain an alliance with the Southern Dynasty, and do not provoke a war. Otherwise, there will be internal and external troubles. Not to mention that your position will be unstable, the country will also be in tatters."

The second prince frowned. The Yong Dynasty was now a great country, how could it be destroyed so easily?

My father is really sick and confused.

"Father, I will keep your teachings in mind," said the second prince.
