After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband

King Beimo glared at him and stepped away.

The Beimo Crown Prince gave Su Yang a sidelong glance. Still need to ask why?

After angering his father to this extent, shouldn’t you let him cool down a bit?!

It’s just uncertain if three days will be enough for his father to calm down.

Su Yang didn’t give chase; if he wasn’t allowed into the palace, so be it.

It’s not like he had any business there. Princess Yin Chuan would be in the palace in the morning and return to the palace at night, so there was no need to worry about her safety.

He seldom had the chance to visit Beimo, so naturally, he intended to enjoy himself.

But poor Lord Li was terrified for most of the day, almost to the point of collapse.

Fortunately, King Beimo wasn’t truly angry with Su Yang, and naturally, he didn’t blame him.

Hmm.

In fact, King Beimo, like Lord Li, thought Su Yang was discreetly showing filial piety to him.

Su Yang: "..."

But as Su Yang entered the palace, the news of his bet with King Beimo and his identity as the problem-solver spread quickly.

Riding his horse through the streets, Su Yang again encountered the three brothers he just befriended.

The three looked at him incredulously, "Are you really the Second Young Master of the East Town Marquis Mansion, Princess Yinchuan’s Prince Consort?"

"As genuine as can be," Su Yang said with a smile.

"..."

You said your home was a bit far, not worth mentioning?

The East Town Marquis of Daqi, isn’t that worth mentioning?

The three, not knowing Su Yang’s identity, got along with Su Yang smoothly. Now that they knew, they were instead reserved.

Su Yang slung his arm around their shoulders, lamenting, "When I venture outside, I don’t like to mention my family background, fearing it might affect making friends."

"Just pretend you don’t know my identity, and let’s interact as we did before."

"..."

"Is there any fun place in the Capital City worth visiting? Show me around?"

The three grimaced hard at the corners of their mouths.

Such a distinguished identity as the Second Young Master of the East Town Marquis Mansion, why does it sound disdainful coming from this Prince Consort’s mouth?

However, with such a prestigious identity in front, it’s indeed difficult to make a few close friends.

Not knowing Su Yang’s identity before, thinking he had some talent, not many noble family members were willing to engage with him.

There are many talented people in this world, but not many truly get utilized. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many with unrecognized talents.

Getting those noble family members to lower themselves to fawn over Su Yang was highly unlikely.

At most, they’d pass by Su Yang a few more times to give him a chance to fawn over them.

Their three families weren’t highly ranked, making it easier to take this step. Who knew they’d stumble onto such luck, befriending the current Prince Consort, who was then very much in demand, but a bit cheeky.

After Su Yang’s identity was revealed, many noble family members gathered around him, but Su Yang ignored them.

He wasn’t planning to stay in Beimo for long; having a few companions to kill time was enough. He didn’t want to get involved in Beimo’s court affairs, and these connections wouldn’t get them what they wanted.

However——

Some matters weren’t for Su Yang to decide whether to participate in or not.

After all, he was the Beimo Prince Consort, the son-in-law of King Beimo.

King Beimo was so frustrated by Su Yang that he couldn’t focus on memorials.

Moreover, with thorny issues at court, unresolved, King Beimo became even more upset.

Then, King Beimo handed these troublesome matters over to Su Yang.

Of course, Su Yang wouldn’t agree.

But King Beimo anticipated his refusal. Instead of raising it first, he brought up Xie Jingchen.

As a son-in-law, a Prince Consort, Xie Jingchen complied with whatever his father-in-law asked.

On this point, Su Yang did not deny it.

Once he admitted it, King Beimo used his status as a father-in-law to oppress his son-in-law.

That hole Xie Jingchen dug, Su Yang, thanks to his brother-in-law, fell into King Beimo’s trap.

King Beimo assigned a few troublesome tasks to Su Yang.

Su Yang cited he was a person from Daqi, and it was inappropriate for him to involve himself in Beimo’s affairs. In return, Xie Jingchen helping Zhao Xu with memorials was already known to the Beimo Crown Prince.

If the Daqi Prince Consort could help the Emperor of Nanlin review memorials, why couldn’t he, the Beimo Prince Consort?

"Rest assured and boldly handle it."

Su Yang left the Imperial Study rubbing his temples.

Although he hadn’t participated in politics, it didn’t mean he was clueless.

These matters were indeed troublesome.

Moreover, the most troublesome thing wasn’t even these matters, but his own identity.

If it gets out that he helped King Beimo handle court affairs, how could he be spared by the Emperor of Daqi?

He certainly wouldn’t fare better than his brother-in-law at home.

This was something he couldn’t push away; he couldn’t get directly involved, so he could only find someone to take the lead.

With no one available to use, he could only pull in the three brothers he just met to command them.

"Brother Su, are you joking with us? We’re not officials in the court; how can we help you?" The three shook their heads.

"Aren’t you making fun of us?"

Su Yang looked at them seriously, "I’m serious."

"You’re not officials, but your fathers are."

The three exchanged looks, "That’s true; what do you want our fathers to help with?"

Su Yang handed them the memorials.

They eagerly accepted them, but upon receiving them and glancing at them, they immediately handed them back to Su Yang.

"My father is just a minor Capital Governor; asking him to deal with the case involving the nephew of the Minister of Revenue, isn’t this akin to an ant trying to shake a tree?"

"You’d do better asking my father to retire and return home."

The gentleman shook his head like a rattle.

They couldn’t accept such a task, not even at gunpoint.

And his case was already considered the better one; the other two cases were even more difficult.

The freshly given memorial was returned again, and the three looked helpless.

What could Su Yang do? He could only bluff them, "Think clearly, this task was given to me by the Emperor."

"Having your fathers handle this, I am their backing."

"I’m just concerned about my identity as a subject of Daqi, which makes it inconvenient for me to directly manage this, but it doesn’t mean I’ll be a hands-off boss."

"If it doesn’t go well, your fathers can certainly plead before the Emperor, saying I forced them to take this hot potato."

"But if this task goes well, they will surely rise smoothly in the future."

Su Yang spoke persuasively and successfully enticed them into the pit.

Of course, Su Yang was earnest with his intentions. After deciding to entrust this task to the three, he sent people to look into their fathers and ensured they were good officials before daring to proceed.

It didn’t matter to cheat his father-in-law out of money, but court affairs couldn’t be dealt with so casually. What if King Beimo, on his behalf, promoted their three fathers?

If these three turned out to be ambitious, with sinister motives, that would lead to endless troubles.
