Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Early the next morning.

In accordance with the previous agreement, Song Yuan took the initiative to come to the Zhenbei Palace.

As the wedding date approaches.

The Zhenbei Palace was also filled with joy.

The palace was filled with maids coming and going, making it look like there was a riot going on.

"Where's your lady?"

As a son-in-law who is about to be promoted to the official position, Song Yuan naturally has a certain status in the palace.

It's just a sentence, how could the maid dare to neglect it in the slightest?

He immediately took Song Yuan to the martial arts training ground in the backyard.

"Sir, the young lady is inside. Do you want me to go in and inform her first?"

"It's okay, go down, I'll go find her directly!"

In response to the servant's statement, Song Yuan waved his hand lightly.

Before, I didn’t know what Situ Jing was busy with, and I almost wanted to see her.

Now, judging from the noise coming from the training ground, it should be Situ Jing leading people in training.

Song Yuan made up his mind to watch carefully.

Let’s see if this chick has any real skills.

As he spoke, Song Yuan had already stepped over the threshold.

Situ Jing's voice followed.

"Later, this wooden stake will represent the target you are to protect. I will fight you in real combat. Your only goal is to block me and prevent me from harming the target you are protecting."

Hearing such a serious statement, Song Yuan stuck half of his head out and looked towards the yard.

Behind the followers, there was a wooden stake with a pig's head painted on it.

"Are you treating me as the stake? Who are you trying to make fun of?"

Song Yuan rolled his eyes in annoyance and immediately realized Situ Jing's little thoughts.

Just as he was secretly complaining, he saw something happening in the martial arts training ground.

Situ Jing suddenly shouted and jumped up!

This girl, when she arrives on the battlefield, is really like a killing god.

In an instant, the momentum that erupted even made Song Yuan feel a little scared.

Faced with such a strong momentum like a storm, a question couldn't help but pop up in Song Yuan's mind.

If there really were such a master who wanted to assassinate me, would I be able to survive with my current abilities?

Soon, what he saw brought Song Yuan a surprise.

The people opposite Situ Jing did not panic at all. They quickly changed their positions and formed a battle formation in the blink of an eye.

Five people stepped forward and used their bodies to block the first wave of attacks.

Such decisiveness made Song Yuan's eyes light up.

I almost couldn't stop the boiling in my heart and cried out.

"it is good!"

Although these five people fell in the dust because of Situ Jing's powerful attack.

But the power that erupted in an instant was definitely enough to delay the master for a few seconds.

You know, the victory or defeat of a master is often decided in an instant.

Song Yuan had no doubt that with Situ Jing by his side, as long as these guards could withstand the first wave of attacks, he would be able to save their lives afterwards.

This Zhenbei Palace really gave me a big surprise!

"not enough!"

However, in the end, after only three or five moves, everyone fell to the ground under Situ Jing's torture.

Looking at the guard in front of her, the tough and silly girl remained indifferent.

"My requirement for you is to at least withstand half an incense stick of power from a master like me. Your performance is far from my expectations."

"One, two, stop yelling, quickly coil up and let's continue practicing!"

As the saying goes, women are as good as men. At this moment, Situ Jing perfectly demonstrated this saying.

Song Yuan saw it and secretly clenched his fists.

I silently made up my mind that no matter what method I used, I must keep this silly girl by my side.

With such skills, he can be called the Third Prince or the Fourth Prince.

That's bullshit!

"Your Highness, what are you doing?"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind Song Yuan. Song Yuan, who was peeking, suddenly became alert and turned around in a panic.

I immediately saw a familiar figure.

It was none other than the current owner of the entire Zhenbei Palace, Madam Situ.

In front of his mother-in-law, Song Yuan was speechless for a moment.

It’s hard to say, I was peeking at your daughter, right?

"Your Highness, do you have time? How about continuing with me?" Fortunately, Mrs. Situ did not make things difficult for Song Yuan this time, but took the initiative to speak and make a suggestion.

As soon as these words came out, Song Yuan frowned slightly and his heart skipped a beat.

I immediately thought of what the other person was thinking. Maybe he wanted to take this opportunity to test himself?

Last time, in order to calm Mrs. Situ's anger and facilitate the wedding, Song Yuan had instructed Ye Xuan to reveal all the details about himself to his mother-in-law.

So many days have passed, and Song Yuan has been waiting for the other party to come to him.

Unexpectedly, this woman was so patient.

But what is coming cannot be avoided.

Song Yuan went to the border, but he wanted to rebel. If that happened, the fate of the entire Zhenbei Palace would be tied to Song Yuan's.

Now, the wedding is approaching, and it is only a few days before Song Yuan leaves.

Madam Situ finally came to visit, and this conversation determined the future attitude of the Zhenbei Palace.

Whether or not we can get the support of the entire palace depends on this time.

"Mrs. Situ, of course!"

Realizing the other party's deep meaning, how could Song Yuan dare to refuse?

He nodded immediately and followed Madam Situ to another courtyard.

As soon as the others left, Madam Situ couldn't wait to ask, "Your Highness, I want to know what you will do after you arrive at the border."

coming!

Song Yuan's face was stern, and he made no secret of his thoughts: "The border is now unpredictable, with various forces entrenched. The Zhenbei Army is even more powerful. The first thing I should do is undoubtedly to control all the troops in my hands."

"But when it comes to specific methods, I only have one thing to say... adapt to circumstances!"

"This..." Such a response made Mrs. Situ frown slightly.

Boy, are you kidding me?

Just the word "casual", like passing the test? It's just a dream!

Mrs. Situ frowned, and there was a hint of sharpness between her brows.

"Your Highness, let me ask you this: there's a high probability that the barbarians will start a war. This is an indisputable fact. If the barbarians start a war, what will you do?"

As soon as these words came out, Song Yuan raised his eyebrows.

Isn't this question hitting the muzzle of one's own gun?

As a top student at the Military Academy in his previous life, Song Yuan was so skilled that he could easily handle even modern warfare.

Not to mention the large-scale group battles in the era of cold weapons.

In the absence of communication, the number of people involved in this type of war was much greater than in modern times, but the process lacked variety.

In Song Yuan's opinion, this kind of test questions are easy to answer.

What's more, those predecessors have already given the best answer.

"Madam, I believe that to deal with barbarians, we only need to follow one principle: when the enemy advances, we retreat. When the enemy camps, we harass. When the enemy tires, we attack. When the enemy retreats, we pursue..."

What do you mean, boy?

Hearing this, Mrs. Situ frowned slightly, finding it a little difficult to understand.

Song Yuan noticed the doubt in the other party's brow, and took this opportunity to show off his knowledge, using this professional term to explain the content of guerrilla warfare.

A lot of my own opinions are also instilled in it.

and how to deal with various situations.

During the whole process, Mrs. Situ, who had remained calm in front of Song Yuan, opened her mouth wide the whole time.

I was really surprised.

How could this prince in front of me know so much?

"Ma'am, what do you think of what I said?"

It was not until Song Yuan finished his story and asked back that Mrs. Situ finally came to her senses.

Looking at Song Yuan again, his heart was already in turmoil.

This man is truly a rare and extraordinary man in the world!

In the past, when people mentioned Song Yuan, everyone would say "waste".

But who would have thought?

Such a person who had been a coward for more than ten years turned out to be a genius with both literary and martial arts skills!

As the mistress of the Zhenbei Palace, how could Mrs. Situ not understand the importance of the tactics Song Yuan mentioned?

Some of the ideas were even more astonishing to her.

Mrs. Situ had no doubt that on the battlefield, with such means, she would be able to make the barbarians run around in circles.

What is even more shocking is not this ability.

But it was Song Yuan’s forbearance!

More than ten years... More than ten years of lying dormant, just to make a splash today.

If you do this, you will surely be able to leap over the dragon gate and become a true dragon one day.

This time...Zhenbei Palace is determined to make a bet!

"Good!" Mrs. Situ did not hide her admiration and clapped her hands in approval.

However, just when Song Yuan was feeling proud, Madam Situ suddenly changed the subject and asked.

"By the way, Your Highness, my sister has been staying in your house. What do you think of Ye Xuan during this time we've been together?"

As soon as these words came out, Song Yuan frowned.

Isn't it an exam?

Suddenly mentioning Ye Xuan, what is the purpose?

After a slight hesitation, Song Yuan praised according to common sense: "Aunt Ye Xuan is very capable. With her around, I feel at ease about everything!"

"It's a pity. No matter how reassuring we are, there's still a wall between us. We're not one of our own after all!"

Song Yuan said what he was thinking, but did not talk about it. Mrs. Situ actually sighed.

What does it mean?

Song Yuan's face changed when he realized the deeper meaning of this.

But Mrs. Situ came straight to the point and explained directly.

"Your Highness, Ye Xuan is of the same generation as me, but after all, I watched her grow up. She's only a few years older than Jing'er. To be honest, I've always treated her like my own daughter!"

"Aside from this identity, Ye Xuan is every bit as good-looking and talented as Jing'er. More importantly, Ye Xuan's previous marriage to my brother was merely a temporary solution!"

As she spoke, Mrs. Situ recounted a past event.

It turned out that the old lady was obsessed with her youngest son going to war, so she suddenly decided to find a woman to carry on the family line.

At that time, Ye Xuan was just an adult.

Out of consideration for the favor from the palace, he stepped forward and agreed to do this.

However, even though the two had already gotten married, they were still unable to change their fate in the end.

The war situation was tense, and the old lady's youngest son had to go first.

Until now, Ye Xuan only has a nominal status, but is still a virgin.

"Let me ask Your Highness, are you willing to have Ye Xuan's assistance? If you agree, I will personally come forward and talk to her, asking her to become your concubine!"

Mrs. Situ's words were shocking, and her words stunned Song Yuan.

After a long while, Song Yuan hesitated and said, "Madam... Miss Ye Xuan is my aunt in terms of seniority, and she was chosen by His Majesty..."

"Your Majesty, since you are ready to rebel, do you still have any reservations?" Madam Situ interrupted Song Yuan without giving him a chance to finish his words.

"As for my aunt's identity, I am now the master of Zhenbei Palace. I can kick her out with just one word."

"By then, she will have nothing to do with my Zhenbei Palace, and the so-called aunt will naturally no longer exist!"

Is there such a good thing?

As Mrs. Situ spoke, she had already paved the way for herself.

Song Yuan's heart beat faster and he nodded subconsciously.

He has been coveting Ye Xuan for a long time, and now someone is taking the initiative to mediate. Isn't this just throwing a meat bun at a dog... Bah, a talented man and a beautiful woman, aren't they?

"Your Highness, please give it some thought! If you have any ideas, you can always come to me!"

Seeing that Song Yuan did not respond for a long time, Mrs. Situ slowly opened her mouth and said something.

Looking at Madam Situ's receding back, Song Yuan almost knelt down on the spot and called her mother.

You...you are simply the best matchmaker!

If I were not a prince, I would have agreed at that time for the sake of my dignity.

From now on you will be my adoptive parent!

Hahaha, so exciting, so exciting!
