Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Zhenbei Palace.

It was already late at night when Ye Xuan and Situ Jing returned.

The two men asked for instructions and then returned to their residences.

Ye Xuan hadn't returned for a few days and was tidying up the room when the door opened and a familiar voice came from outside.

"Auntie, are you asleep?"

"Jing'er, it's so late, have you forgotten that you have to worship your father tomorrow?" Ye Xuan opened the door and said with a smile.

But Situ Jing's next words made her lose her composure instantly.

"Aunt, why do I feel that the relationship between you and that wimp is unusual?"

What did this girl discover?

There shouldn't be any flaws, right?

Ye Xuan's cheeks turned red and her heart beat faster. Could it be that she knew that Song Yuan had teased me?

In fact, Ye Xuan was also secretly hesitant in her heart.

I am Song Yuan's elder, and it is not right for the other party to act recklessly.

But when you think of someone as proud as Song Yuan, with his sharp mind and extraordinary talent, which woman would not be tempted?

What's more, although Ye Xuan said she was getting married, in fact she was still a virgin.

I have some yearning for the relationship between men and women, and even secretly look forward to it.

Now that the real culprit has come to her door, Ye Xuan can't help but feel guilty.

In order to change the subject, he smiled and said, "Weren't you calling me a loser before? Why did you change your name now?"

"I don't know what's been wrong with that kid lately. He's defeated the barbarians three times. Although there's a lot of luck involved, it's not too cowardly. If I dare to say that again, I'm afraid I won't be able to get through that level!"

Situ Jing stuck out her tongue, explained, and then returned to the topic.

"Auntie, don't interrupt me. I want to ask you, what's going on between you two?"

"What can we do? Are you jealous because I spend every day with him? I'm your elder!" Ye Xuan said stubbornly.

Fortunately, Situ Jing didn't think about it this way.

"I'm not jealous, but how could a wimp like him make me jealous? I've already made up my mind. Even if we get married, we'll sleep in separate rooms. If he dares to mess around at night, I'll give him a taste of my fist!"

"Aunt, that's not what I'm talking about. You belong to the Zhenbei Palace, and now you're being ordered around by him. I remember you used to be an icy beauty. Why do you disregard your image now?"

woohoo hoo...

After understanding the cause of the incident, Ye Xuan felt relieved.

As long as it's not about that.

Listen to my excuse... No, listen to my explanation!

"Let me ask you, Song Yuan is a prince after all. If we, as his wife's family, go too far, how will outsiders judge us?"

"This……"

"Also, you and he are husband and wife. Although you haven't married yet, you hold the title of Grand Concubine. Now you are half a member of the royal family. No one will blame you for joking and scolding him, but if other people in the palace, including your mother, really do the same as you, it would be an insult to the royal family!"

"Are you willing to be killed if that happens?"

Hearing this ending, Situ Jing curled her lips, calmed down and thought about it, and it was really like this.

But when Situ Jing thought of the scene in Song Yuan Mansion where the eldest prince and his aunt worked together in perfect harmony, she always felt a little annoyed.

But when asked the reason, he couldn't say anything.

"You, you don't do anything serious every day, you just daydream!"

Seeing Situ Jing wavering, Ye Xuan quickly spoke up to finish the job.

"In fact, if you ask me, I don't know how many people envy you for being treated this way. The eldest prince is now a hero fighting against the barbarians, and his reputation is far different from what it used to be!"

"Even you have to change your words to him, so think about how others will judge you? In my opinion, you are just too careless and arrogant. If you look at the details, the Crown Prince is not as bad as you say!"

"Auntie, how can he be as good as you say? This wimp only knows how to bully others!"

Ye Xuan's words made Situ Jing subconsciously recall her experience in the palace. Song Yuan disregarded his face, borrowed money everywhere, and even had his eyes on her.

Which good person is so shameless?

"This guy is a shameless scoundrel. If he weren't a member of the royal family, he would have been beaten to death on the street. But to be honest, he's not completely useless. At least he's skilled at blacksmithing..."

Thinking of the precious sword that Song Yuan promised to give her, Situ Jing's brows relaxed, and she added some exaggeration to tell Ye Xuan about her experience in the blacksmith shop.

Hearing the words "big and hard", Ye Xuan couldn't help but blush even though she was a married woman.

Pooh……

Song Yuan is so bold to say that, he is really shameless!

What Ye Xuan didn't expect was that when she thought about it now, Situ Jing was not shy at all, but instead felt a little regretful.

"Now that I think about it, I really regret it. I should have tried the knife to see if it was really as big and hard as he said!"

Looking at her silly niece, Ye Xuan couldn't help but frown.

This girl only knows how to practice martial arts on a daily basis. Could it be that she doesn't even know what this sentence means?

Looking at Situ Jing's innocent eyes, Ye Xuan felt a headache coming on. She didn't know what her sister was thinking. Her niece was going to get married soon, so why didn't she give her some proper instructions?

"Jing'er, come here, I want to tell you something!"

Thinking of her duties as an aunt, Ye Xuan hesitated again and again, but finally waved at Situ Jing.

He leaned close to the girl's ear and whispered something.

……

the next day.

Song Yuan fulfilled his promise and rode a tall horse early in the morning, bringing Wang Chao and Ma Han to the outside of the Zhenbei Palace.

There were many motorcades in front of the palace.

Today is definitely a big day for the Zhenbei Palace!

Song Yuan saw Situ Jing's strange look from a distance in the crowd.

"Why does this girl look like she wants to stab me? Could she be having her period? Women always have those days. Forget it, I won't bother with her!"

Song Yuan sensed a hint of murderous intent in Situ Jing's eyes.

He shrank his neck, but ultimately didn't dare to move forward.

On the contrary, because Song Yuan had defeated the barbarians three times, Madam Situ, who had been quite cold to him in the past, changed her usual attitude today.

"Your Highness, this journey is quite long. If you are not comfortable riding a horse, why not take a carriage?"

"No need!" Song Yuan waved his hands and puffed out his chest.

"According to my father's previous decree, I will travel far north after my marriage. If I don't practice my horsemanship now, I will inevitably suffer when the time comes. As the saying goes, it's better to prepare for a rainy day. I'd better ride a horse!"

Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?

Madam Situ's expression was slightly stunned. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that if the underground allowed you to recruit private soldiers, how could they let you leave the imperial city?

Now all the civil and military officials in the court say that the eldest prince is extremely intelligent. How come I, as his mother-in-law, can't see it?

"Your Highness, you are now famous, but have you ever considered what would happen if His Majesty couldn't bear to part with you?"

In order to prevent Song Yuan from making a fool of himself, Mrs. Situ spoke up and tried to wake him up.

Song Yuan, however, showed an innocent look on his face, and said in a slightly foolish tone, "That shouldn't be the case, right? Father once said that a gentleman's word is as good as gold. He issued the imperial decree in front of all the civil and military officials."

"If I take back what I said now, wouldn't that be the same as committing the crime of deceiving the emperor?"

I lied to myself, what kind of trick is this?

"I..." When Mrs. Situ heard this, she wanted to slap Song Yuan twice.

Don’t you know how to cherish life?

So what's good about the north?

The barbarians are eyeing you covetously. With your small body, you will be torn to pieces when you get there!

But seeing that there were so many people talking and it was not the right time to talk, Mrs. Situ could only suppress his impulse and turn around to give her sister some instructions.

"Sister, if you go to Song Yuan's place again, you must tell him clearly that there are some things you shouldn't say carelessly. The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously!"

"Yes, sister!" Ye Xuan nodded superficially.

But in his heart, he became more interested in Song Yuan.

It was understandable that Song Yuan pretended to be stupid and said this, but if His Majesty knew about it, he would have no way to refute it.

Maybe he can really fool people and force His Majesty to keep his promise!

However, after Ye Xuan came down, given the emperor's personality, Song Yuan's operation was equivalent to walking on a tightrope.

On one side is life and on the other side is death.

If you make His Majesty unhappy, you will probably be whipped!
