Mother, I have returned to the throne.

The so-called hunting in the north of the city.

To put it bluntly, in Song Yuan's eyes it was just a large picnic.

Accompany the hunting team to the designated location.

A group of people were busy running around, first building Song Youji's exclusive imperial sedan chair in the shortest time possible.

A generation of emperor walked into the imperial sedan chair with the support of two concubines.

Seeing the people following his cheap father, Song Yuan's pupils couldn't help but shrink.

With the death of the crown prince, the queen's power gradually weakened.

After all, in the royal family, a mother's status is determined by her son. Now that the prince is gone, what is the queen?

Song Youji was followed by two people, one of whom was the mother of the third prince Song Yuan!

From this point alone, it is no wonder that the third prince is the most successful in the election for the crown prince!

The other person is the biological mother of the youngest ninth prince.

It is said that men like younger women the most, and this is true whether it is for their significant other or their offspring!

"Sixth Brother, do you think you are behaving properly?"

Song Yuan was still analyzing the situation when he didn't expect that the cheap guy had already opened fire.

"Today we're hunting. Everyone else is wearing military uniforms and holding swords, but what about you? You're wearing a long robe. Do you think you're here just to hang out?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around them gloated over their misfortune.

The one who reacted most strongly was Situ Jing, who secretly gave Song Yuan a cold look.

I told you a long time ago that it’s inappropriate to dress like this. You didn’t listen to me at the time, and now you’re suffering, aren’t you?

"Father, I'm so weak... It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I don't have the ability!"

Song Yuan frowned and explained immediately.

Song Youji shook his head after hearing this. "With your current appearance, you're planning to take charge of the frontier army? Look at yourself, where does your demeanor as a military commander even remotely resemble?"

"Get out of my way, you disgrace!"

These words were clearly meant to scold Song Yuan, but when Song Yuan heard them, he was overjoyed.

The fact that the old man could say this to him proved that his previous strategy had finally worked.

I wish you would drive me to the frontier!

Don’t think that I am powerless now. When we get to the battlefield, I will let you see the power of technology!

"I have a big reward for today's hunt. Someone bring the stuff up!"

Seeing Song Yuan lowering his head and silently retreating to the edge of the crowd, Song Youji waved his hand.

But then two guards came forward carrying a wooden box.

Song Youji waved his hand and ordered everyone to leave, but he did not open the wooden box in front of everyone.

"This box contains a reward. Since we're going out hunting, there should be some prizes. Whoever hunts the most prey today will receive this reward!"

"Also...Old Nine and Old Ten, you two don't have to go, right?"

Song Youji said as he glanced towards the end of the team.

But there were two half-grown children standing there, just reaching the shoulders of the prince next to them.

These two children are from the same mother and are the sons of Concubine Liu who was delivering the mail.

Upon hearing this order, the two frowned slightly, but Concubine Liu kept winking at them.

The two men finally came to their senses and quickly knelt and said, "Father, although I am young, I also have the courage and ambition to fight. Who says that young people are inferior to others? I beg your permission to let us participate in this hunt!"

"Father, my brother is right. Besides, hunting doesn't necessarily depend solely on strength. With wisdom, we can also catch prey!"

"Hahaha, good!"

Seeing that his son was so ambitious, Song Youji smiled and nodded, and at the end he did not forget to glance in the direction of Song Yuan.

Old man, how come you only know how to diss me?

"Some people need to be carefully observed. Teenagers know the meaning of bravery. In consideration of your kindness, the prey you catch this time will be doubled. Let's see if you two can compete with your brothers!"

Song Youji waved his hand, then suddenly turned around and looked at Situ Jing beside Song Yuan.

"Are you Situ Tiannan's daughter? General Situ's granddaughter?"

Facing the supreme ruler Song Youji, Situ Jing would not dare to commit suicide even if he had such a bad temper.

He immediately stepped forward and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, I am Situ Jing, and my father is Situ Tiannan. Thank you for remembering me!"

"Hahaha, get up, we're family now, no need to be polite!"

Song Youji waved his hand at first, but his tone became serious afterwards.

"In a few days, you will marry my son, and then you will be my daughter-in-law. As husband and wife, you two will be tied together from now on. We will prosper together and suffer together!"

"My eldest son is a bit disappointing. You've seen it before, Jing'er. I want to ask you, are you willing to help him?"

"Your Majesty, I do!"

Situ Jing was originally arrogant and proud. She didn't dare to talk about other aspects, but when it came to force, it was no exaggeration to say that this young lady dared to stand up right now and shout at the people present.

"I want to hit ten!"

Seeing Song Yuan in such a terrible state, Situ Jing felt a little embarrassed. Now that she had the opportunity to take action herself, how could she give it up?

While nodding, Situ Jing did not forget to turn around and glance at Song Yuan. "Just wait and see, kid. Let me teach you what real strength is!"

Seeing this silly girl's confident look, Song Yuan felt a little unsure.

Song Youji, the old fox, suddenly asked him to help me. What was his intention?

No matter how Song Yuan thought about it, he felt something was strange.

Sure enough, Song Youji spoke again and directly exposed his true purpose.

"Jing'er, I can ask you to help Song Yuan, but everyone else is one person, and you two are two. My expectations are not high. Since you and your husband and wife are of the same mind, you can't be left behind, right?"

"If, by then, you hunt the least prey among all the princes, I will definitely punish Song Yuan. As husband and wife, you share the same fate, and you too will be punished!"

When Song Yuan heard this, he was furious.

No, you said it in public that I have no qualifications to inherit the throne. It’s fine for you to give military training to your other sons, but why do you have to drag me in as well?

We should be reasonable in life.

Aren't you just asking me to run with the prince?

Song Yuan has already realized that with Situ Jing's unyielding character, wouldn't he be like a chicken with its blood pumped up if he really entered the hunting ground?

Who will be in trouble then?

Aren't you the one who's having troubles?

Just thinking about Situ Jing's expression when she urged him to do so made Song Yuan's scalp tingle!

"Your Majesty, a gentleman's word is as good as gold. I will do as you say!"

When it comes to using force, Situ Jing is not afraid at all.

In her opinion, let's put Song Yuan, the burden, aside.

Just by myself, not to mention being far ahead, I at least have the right to say that everyone present is garbage!

How can I lose with this strength?

joke!

"Okay, okay!" Seeing Situ Jing so heroic, Song Youji smiled and nodded in front of everyone.

"Your father was once the greatest warrior of the Qin Dynasty. I personally bestowed this title upon you. As his daughter, you are truly a son of a father who loves you!"

"Then I'll wait for your good news and see how you perform then!"

After saying this, Song Youji stood up immediately.

He swept the whole audience with a serious look, and then spoke the opening remarks of this hunt.

"I am old and in poor health. This time, the hunting grounds belong to you. My Great Qin is a martial nation, and you are all my sons. Today, let me see what the descendants of the royal family are capable of!"

"Ahem, by the way... In this hunting ground, there are a few rare birds that I've put so much effort into. You can hunt them, but be careful not to kill them by mistake!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Song Yuan frowned slightly, feeling that it was a bit strange. No, according to reason, for a royal trip, the relevant personnel would definitely be prepared early.

If Song Youji really valued that rare bird, he wouldn't have to say anything at all, as someone would definitely be assigned to handle it.

Now, why did this cheap old man say this?

For a moment, Song Yuan only felt that there were some clues.

"Your Majesty, it's a bit embarrassing for you to give such an order!" What surprised Song Yuan even more was that General Zhao stood up just after Song Youji finished speaking.

He added, "Your Majesty, none of the princes have ever seen those rare birds of yours, so how can they easily distinguish them? Why not just do this: anything that flies in the sky is forbidden from being hunted. Wouldn't that be simple?"

"Okay!" Faced with this suggestion, Song Youji nodded with a smile, then waved his hand and ordered everyone to start hunting.

But when he turned around, he saw Song Yuan standing there with his head down, and he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared.

"Song Yuan, what are you still doing standing there? Aren't you one of the princes I mentioned?"

"You go with Jing'er. If you can't draw the bow, you can lead the horse for someone else. Don't stand here and get in my way!"

Song Yuan was scolded for no reason, and he naturally knew what the old man was thinking.

I just want to get people away so that I can talk to my aunt alone about the ancient poem.

But no matter what you say, who did I offend?

Don't I just want to be lazy?

It's really painful for those who slack off.

It would be even more troublesome if you encountered a lot of problems!
