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

Kuiyuan Street, a magnificent and luxurious mansion.

The red lacquered gate that was closed in the past was now open, ready to welcome its distinguished guests. There were two majestic stone lions at the door, holding stone beads in their mouths. On the plaque above the gate were four large gold-lacquered characters - Runan Palace.

This palace is magnificent and luxurious, covering a vast area. Just from the imposing and tall gate, it can be seen that this palace is not of the standard of an ordinary prince.

As the son of the previous emperor and the half-brother of the current emperor, King Runan should have been granted the title of prince.

However, the founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Zhaowu, who was a strong-willed and brave man, once established a family precept that if the descendants of the Sima family were not talented in either literature or martial arts, they would automatically be demoted one level when they inherited the title.

That is to say, when a royal family member inherits a title, if he does not have a certain level of accomplishment and no achievements in civil or military affairs, his inherited title will be lowered by one level. Of course, if he later makes achievements in civil and military affairs, or in cultivation, his title can be raised back to a higher level, or even raised to a higher level.

In order to implement this rule, Emperor Taizu Zhaowu demoted his most beloved but also the most dissolute youngest son to the rank of a prince.

Because of this incident, the Empress Dowager and Emperor Zhaowu's first wife were extremely dissatisfied. It is said that she did not allow Emperor Zhaowu to set foot in Kunning Palace for a whole month.

Because of Emperor Zhaowu's efforts, this ancestral precept was well implemented by the descendants of the Sima family from generation to generation. Not only did every emperor of the Jin Dynasty have outstanding accomplishments, but there was also no shortage of outstanding people among the royal family members.

The King of Runan was the unlucky guy who was punished by the ancestral teachings. He had poor talents in both arts and martial arts, and had achieved nothing. He was not good at civil governance and had no military merits, so he was demoted from a prince to a county prince.

Until now, the Prince of Runan is already a prince on the edge of power, and is inconspicuous among the princes. Only the grand palace still maintains the scale of the prince's when it was completed.

The team from the Shenwei Marquis' Mansion slowly stopped in front of the Runan Prince's Mansion, and Su An's carriage stopped right in front of the palace gate.

Under everyone's gaze, Feiyue stepped forward and opened the curtain. Su An was the first to get off the carriage, then turned around and stretched out his hand to the back.

Inside the carriage, a slender hand as white as cream rested on Su An's hand. Then Sima Yue appeared in everyone's sight, and she gracefully stepped down from the carriage with the support of Su An's hand.

Su An naturally took Sima Yue's arm, and the two of them walked towards the palace gate hand in hand.

The prince's suit that Su An wore today was a slim-fitting robe with purple and black as the main colors. The black edges on the cuffs and collar were embroidered with gold cloud patterns.

Her hair was tied with a purple gold crown, and she wore a jade belt around her waist with jade pendants hanging from it.

This attire made Su An look tall and straight, with a graceful figure. He naturally exuded an air of nobility. Combined with his young and handsome appearance, the young ladies and maids waiting in front of the palace gate were all dazzled.

They had either seen or heard about this Marquis Shenwei's son before, and they all knew that he had an outstanding appearance, but they had never expected him to be so handsome, like a banished immortal.

Sima Yue was wearing a bright yellow gilded fairy dress. She had bright eyes, delicate makeup, long hair tied up, and a phoenix crown on her head. Her hair was covered with pearls and jade. She looked bright and elegant, with a kind of noble beauty that was awe-inspiring and inviolable.

Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion couldn't believe it when they saw this. Is this still their second young lady?

In the past, Sima Yue mostly wore light-colored dresses, which made her look elegant, dignified, ethereal, and her temperament was also relatively friendly.

But this bright yellow outfit shows her beauty from another angle: gorgeous and noble, cold and aloof.

This also made the people present in the palace realize that Sima Yue was no longer the second lady of the past, but the Crown Princess of the Shenwei Marquis's Mansion, the future Lady of the Shenwei Marquis, a woman more noble than the Princess of Runan.

Su An and Sima Yue walked hand in hand towards the palace gate.

Both men and women have outstanding looks and good temperament.

Anyone who sees this will have one word in mind: a match made in heaven.

Feeling the astonished gazes of the crowd, Sima Yue suppressed the urge to curl up the corners of her mouth and made herself appear calm and composed.

She could sense the fiery looks in the eyes of her half-sisters when they looked at Su An, and she could also sense the jealousy in their eyes when they looked at her.

They must want to replace her, but Sima Yue doesn't care about it. They don't even consider whether they are worthy of her or not. Each of them is inferior to her in appearance or family background.

And even if he is better than her, Su An still loves her, and the position of the Crown Prince's Consort is hers, and no one can take it away from her.

Sima Yue didn't realize that she had previously resisted becoming Su An's Crown Prince's Consort, but now she was happy with it.

Among the people waiting in the palace, a handsome and sunny young man in a white robe came forward with a big smile on his face.

"Prince, second sister."

The young man in white robe is the eldest son of King Runan and also the Crown Prince of Runan.

However, the value of his title as a prince is far inferior to that of Su An. When people talk about the prince, they are often referring to the most honorable prince of all the princes, the Prince of Shenwei Hou, while mentioning other princes, they will add prefixes.

Sima Yue nodded modestly in response.

The young man in white robe was not at all surprised by her reaction.

In his opinion, this half-sister is a little autistic, quiet, and cold towards her brothers and sisters. For some reason, she is vaguely hostile towards her younger sister. She is not as well-behaved and cute as her younger sister at all.

His other older sister was too open-minded and refused to change despite repeated warnings, which gave him a lot of trouble.

As for the remaining sisters born to concubines, he never took them seriously.

Su An looked at the smiling young man and smiled warmly, "Brother-in-law."

The young man in white robe was stunned. Because of Su An's identity and the fact that they had no interactions before, he did not call him brother-in-law. He did not expect Su An to call him that.

At that moment, the smile on his face became more sincere: "Brother-in-law."

"Hello, second sister. Hello, second brother-in-law." A young girl in a light green double-breasted skirt called out crisply next to the young man in a white robe.

The girl is the third daughter of the royal family and the younger sister of the Prince of Runan.

Sima Yue nodded slightly as usual, while Su An took another look at the sister-in-law. The sister-in-law was the same age as Su Wan, with a pretty face and a quirky look.

"You are Yanyan, right? I heard Yue'er mention you." Su An said with a gentle smile.

Sima Yue, who was standing aside, curled her lips slightly. She couldn't remember when she had mentioned this sister. She was someone she disliked the most in the palace. She relied on the fact that she was the daughter of the princess, felt superior, and acted lawless.

"What did my second sister say about me? She didn't say anything bad about me, did she?" The sister-in-law blinked and asked playfully.

"She said you were well-behaved and cute." Su An praised. "Now it seems that it is true."

The elder brother-in-law and the younger sister-in-law are considered the most normal two of the children of King Runan. They had a good relationship with him in their previous lives and had never had any conflicts.

The remaining children of Prince Runan who were waiting at the door were all born to concubines and had no right to say hello in such an occasion.
