If he had followed the trajectory of his previous life, Song Zhening would have continued to take the imperial examinations. Many years later, he realized that he was not cut out for that path and so he turned to a military career.

He then trained as a small soldier in the city defense camp for two years before he had the opportunity to meet the old general Pingnan and was appreciated.

She made careful arrangements to let the old general see his talent and ability, and arranged everything for him step by step so that he was appreciated and liked by the old general.

Just when it was about to succeed, Song Zhening messed it up himself.

"Why is he so stupid?"

I really don’t know what else to expect from him!

Shen Zhikang was quite calm: "Although it is a pity that we cannot get close to General Pingnan, Song Zhening is still very talented and a rare talent. You must keep him and use him for our benefit."

Song Muxue took a deep breath to calm herself down: "Don't worry, he can't escape from my grasp."

He might not be sure about others, but he has full confidence in Song Zhening, and he knows he is always under his control.

Shen Zhikang's calculating eyes fell on Ye Xuanke who was not far away: "There is also the Fifth Prince, you must not ignore him."

Because he has always been following behind Ye Xuanqi, his brilliance is overshadowed by Ye Xuanqi's brilliance, but Shen Zhikang is very clear about his talents.

He once accidentally read the military strategy theory written by Ye Xuan Ke and some of his ideas on deploying troops. He dared to assert that Ye Xuan Ke's strength was far superior to Song Zhening's.

Over the years, he could see that Ye Xuan Ke had an inhumane special feeling for Song Muxue. As long as Song Muxue was there, she would be able to hold Ye Xuan Ke firmly in her hands.

There was no need for Shen Zhikang to instruct her on how to control Ye Xuan Ke. As long as she thought of Ye Xuan Ke's invincible reputation in his previous life, she would definitely keep him under control.

But it is one thing for her to do it on her own initiative, and it is another thing for Shen Zhikang to ask her to do it.

Song Muxue's pretty face was full of disappointment and grievance: "You asked me to keep another man, do you really treat me as your wife?"

Shen Zhikang was stunned. He didn't expect that she would have such an idea.

He was always with Song Muxue during this period, but he treated her more as a trusted adviser and aide, and this identity completely overshadowed her identity as the woman he liked and his future wife.

Shen Zhikang felt guilty and held her hand: "I trusted you too much. You should know that in order to avoid the emperor's suspicion, there are very few people around me who can be used. To me, you are not only my wife, but also my most trusted companion."

Song Muxue blushed and said coquettishly, "Who is your wife? The emperor has made a promise to give me to you as a concubine. When you marry her in the future, how can you still miss me, a concubine who is not presentable enough?"

Song Muxue became more and more sad as she spoke.

She originally thought that she would know everything after she was reborn, but she had no idea what the final outcome of her relationship with Shen Zhikang was. No matter how hard she tried to think back, she could not imagine it.

However, everything she could recall about her past life with Shen Zhikang was sweet and happy. For her sake, Shen Zhikang had never taken a concubine and had always been good to her.

So she believed that even with those lost memories, she and Shen Zhikang were happy.

Shen Zhikang promised her solemnly: "Don't worry, Muxue, I will try to get the emperor to change his mind. Even if the emperor does not change his mind and still makes you his concubine, you will still be my only woman, my only wife, and the only young lady of the Shen family!"

Song Muxue's face was full of shyness. She believed in his promise and was willing to help him realize his lofty ambitions.

But her sweet and happy mood was soon shattered.

Master Zhu's deep and powerful voice directly hit Song Muxue's eardrums——

"I have made the decision today to let my son and daughter-in-law recognize Xi girl as their adopted daughter. From now on, Xi girl is my granddaughter and the eldest daughter of the Grand Tutor's Mansion!"

Xi girl did nothing but stand there and she was outstanding and attracted attention. It was really too difficult for her to be cautious and low-key!

So instead of being afraid that she will be targeted and become the target of public criticism, it is better to make her more unattainable and more difficult to offend.

Adopting her as his granddaughter was a good choice, and it was something he had only thought about but not dared to do.

Song Muxue wanted to rush up and question Song Yunxi, why was she so lucky?

First, she had the two great backers, the Imperial Master's Mansion and Shengyun Mountain, and then she had the Emperor, her uncle who indulged her in every way. Now, she has Grand Tutor Zhu as her grandfather and Lord Zhu, her future Grand Tutor's adoptive father. From now on, Song Yunxi can walk around the capital with her head held high.

Not to mention her, even other noble ladies in the capital would feel ashamed in front of her and could not reach her level at all.

After a fit of jealousy, Song Muxue suddenly realized the problem.

At this time in the previous life, the Zhu family was shrouded in sorrow. Zhu Xuanheng and his wife should have been poisoned to the bone and there was no cure. It was even more impossible for Madam Zhu to be pregnant. But why is the current situation completely different from the previous life?

She suddenly had a premonition that even without her intervention, the final outcome of Prime Minister Zhou and Minister Li would probably be different from that in the previous life.

Looking at Song Yunxi who was the center of attention, was it because of her?

But she quickly rejected this idea. No matter how powerful Song Yunxi was, she could not predict everything.

But he still felt a little uncertain and asked Shen Zhikang for confirmation: "Can Madam Zhu really guarantee that everything will be safe?"

Shen Zhikang was confident about this: "Even if they find something wrong with the flower, it doesn't matter if Nanny Wu exposes it and makes them suspect Mother. No one can cure the poison of the cold marrow grass."

Even he didn't have the antidote for the cold marrow grass.

Song Muxue felt relieved. "Master Zhu's influence on the emperor cannot be underestimated. If he continues to disagree with the emperor appointing the sixth prince as the crown prince, then the emperor will keep shelving the issue of appointing a crown prince, which is extremely disadvantageous to us."

Therefore, Master Zhu must be eliminated, at all costs!

When Shen Zhikang looked at Madam Zhu's belly, his eyes were filled with terrible evil: "Don't worry, she can't give birth to this child."

Mrs. Zhu, who was happily chatting with Song Yunxi, suddenly felt a terrible chill penetrate her bones and her body froze uncontrollably.

"Madam, are you feeling unwell?"

Song Yunxi noticed that Madam Zhu was acting strangely. Madam Zhu smiled and shook her head: "Maybe I'm overthinking. I always feel like someone is always watching me."

Song Yunxi didn't think that Mrs. Zhu was being suspicious, because she had clearly felt that someone was staring at her.

"Miss Song."

Zhou Churou, who finally found an opportunity, walked over slowly, her beautiful almond eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you, Miss Song."

If it weren't for Song Yunxi's reminder, how could she and her mother have the leisurely and comfortable life they have now?

Song Yunxi naturally understood what she meant. Seeing that she looked much better than last time and the melancholy between her brows was gone, she was happy for her: "Your life and your life are your own. Don't embarrass yourself for others in the future."
