After Transmigration, I Snag a Stunning Bigwig as My Husband

Thinking about how Shen Yue was still upset and the incident of the purse falling into the pit was not resolved, the Ninth Prince felt even more exhausted.

He escorted them to the city gate, and watched as Su Yang and his party went off into the distance.

Just as Mrs. Tang said, Su Yang wasn’t in a hurry to reach Beimo; wasn’t he just walking into his father-in-law’s oppression?

Years ago, he was determined not to marry Princess Yinchuan, even at the expense of letting a bee sting Princess Yinchuan and Prince Beimo, now the Crown Prince of Beimo, the future King of Beimo.

Surely, they must still hold a grudge.

But he wasn’t afraid at all.

It’s just that Princess Yinchuan was eager to return, no matter how beautiful the scenery of Daqi was, it couldn’t compare to the Beimo Palace.

She was eager to set off, so Su Yang had to accompany her.

More than half a month later, when Su Yang and his company reached the border, they learned about the internal chaos in Nanlin.

However, the impact of this turmoil wasn’t significant.

Firstly, Prince Ping’s rebellion was inadequately prepared.

Secondly, Su Yang had long seen through Prince Ping Mansion’s conspiracy, and Zhao Xu had assigned people to keep a close watch on it.

Every move Prince Ping made was right under Zhao Xu’s nose.

By the time Prince Ping noticed, it was too late.

The entire chaos, from the moment it broke out to the time Prince Ping was imprisoned, took less than half a month; before half the court could even react, the chaos had been mostly resolved.

Looking towards the direction of Nanlin, Su Yang felt that Zhao Xu was really not trustworthy.

He had placed so much trust in him and had helped him significantly, yet he had deceived him!

The carriage passed through Daqi City Gate, stepping into Beimo’s territory, and Princess Yinchuan’s eagerness to see her father and mother grew stronger.

And at that moment, in the Beimo Palace, King Beimo had already heard about Marquis Dongxiang letting Su Yang escort Princess Yinchuan back to her family.

This matter came as a surprise to King Beimo.

His daughter didn’t want to get married, even going as far as to flee the marriage, for which the Beimo Empress often blamed him.

No matter how good Marquis Dongxiang’s son was, there was no sense in forcing their daughter onto him.

After investing so much money and resources, and yet they fled the marriage, refusing to marry; even if they did eventually marry, would they treat their daughter well?

The Beimo King’s heart was filled with some regret after hearing these words.

He had just reflected on his mistakes when he received a letter from Princess Jing Mountain.

King Beimo even felt an urge to hang Su Yang up and give him a beating.

He had always known Marquis Dongxiang’s son was troublesome, but he hadn’t realized just how troublesome.

Because of his antics, King Beimo’s dignity had been significantly challenged.

But since Su Yang was far away in Daqi, King Beimo couldn’t punish him, being beyond reach.

Unexpectedly—

He offered himself up!

When King Beimo received the news, he was in the midst of discussions with his ministers, who were quick to offer their congratulations.

King Beimo truly felt pleased and said, "Help me think of a few difficult problems to challenge Marquis Dongxiang’s son."

The minister, "...."

This was a decree.

The ministers had no choice but to comply.

Upon leaving the Imperial Study, the ministers looked at each other, finding themselves at a loss for both laughter and tears.

This task was quite tricky.

The Prince Consort had traveled a long way, and undermining his dignity wouldn’t look good.

But if they didn’t make him lose face, they couldn’t account for it to the Emperor.

The balance was hard to strike, indeed.

"Prepare problems of varying difficulty, and act accordingly based on the situation," one minister suggested.

"That’s the only way."

From Beimo Border to Beimo Capital, it took a full ten days of travel.

During these ten days, the Beimo ministers prepared a book full of challenges.

Hearing of her daughter’s return, the Beimo Empress happily prepared a Welcome Banquet.

On the journey back, Princess Yinchuan took daily medicine and rarely stayed in the sun while in the carriage, so her face had largely healed.

Even so, the Beimo Empress gave Su Yang a fierce glare.

If he weren’t her son-in-law, the Beimo Empress might have had him dragged away to bake in the sun for three consecutive days and nights.

Princess Yinchuan didn’t dare mention that her face had greatly improved, fearing it would upset her mother even more.

The Welcome Banquet was bustling with excitement.

After several rounds of drinks, the Beimo ministers presented Su Yang with the carefully prepared challenges.

They started with a moderately difficult problem.

Hmm.

Throughout the banquet, this was the only chance Su Yang gave Beimo to present a challenge.

The question posed by the Beimo minister was handled with ease by Su Yang.

Then—

In return, he posed a question to the Beimo ministers.

The Beimo minister, "...."

One difficult question left the Beimo minister completely baffled.

Poor King Beimo, who had wanted to give his son-in-law a tough time, ended up falling into his hands instead.

The ministers tasked with issuing challenges almost jeopardized their careers.

The question posed by Su Yang was no ordinary challenge.

The Beimo ministers had a lengthy discussion, but couldn’t come up with an answer.

"We hope the Prince Consort will be willing to enlighten us," a Beimo minister humbly requested for guidance.
