Mother, I have returned to the throne.

When going back.

Situ Jing was at the back of the team, with her head down from beginning to end, unable to utter a word.

Seeing her so lost, Song Yuan hesitated for a long time, but still went forward to comfort her.

"Think carefully. If you really did something so shameful, you would be dishonoring your father's reputation. Besides, the outcome is still uncertain. How do you know we're doomed?"

"Isn't that nonsense?" Situ Jing was silent for a moment, and his mood improved a lot.

But he still didn't look happy towards Song Yuan!

"If you don't pick it up, do you think others won't? It's really strange. There's not a single living thing in this huge hunting ground. Who would believe this?"

"The other princes will surely have gained a lot when they return. Alas, I've let you down today. Stay away from me. I get angry just by seeing you!"

This silly girl!

Are you only thinking about the abnormality without thinking about the reason?

Song Yuan curled his lips helplessly, with a golden light flashing in his eyes.

捡！

I’m afraid my brothers won’t pick it up!

The more they reduce, the more points they lose.

I'm afraid no one would have thought that Song Youji would make such a big move this time. It's not to add points, but to deduct points, right?

As they were talking, the two of them saw a large army in the distance from a distance.

The princes before them walked side by side, and the troops behind them reaped a rich harvest.

Especially the third prince Song Qi, he was the most exaggerated.

Among the prey, there was actually a black bear!

After just a glance, Song Yuan sneered: "I've caught so many of you, you'll be stuffed to death soon. When the answer is revealed, how will you end it?"

"Hey, isn't this my brother? Brother, why did you and sister-in-law come back empty-handed?"

As they were talking, several people also noticed Song Yuan's presence. Seeing that Song Yuan had nothing in his hands, several princes surrounded him immediately in order to add insult to injury.

"Brother, I thought you were powerless, but I never thought you were actually blind!"

"It's such a big hunting ground, and you have your sister-in-law as your partner, but you two still come up empty-handed. Could it be that you didn't even see any prey?"

The Fourth Prince smiled brightly, while the Third Prince Song Qi snorted coldly.

"Why waste your time talking to a loser? I'll go back later and see how Father will deal with him!"

Even the youngest prince in the crowd, the Eighth Prince, looked gloating at this moment.

"Big brother, I think he's just unlucky. After all, no one can have good fortune all the time. Big brother has been in the spotlight enough these days. I think it might be time for him to go downhill!"

While everyone was chatting and laughing, Song Yuan had already seen everyone's spoils.

Among them, the one who gained the most was the third prince.

There were at least a dozen prey of all kinds added together.

The number of prey caught by the Fourth Prince also numbered in the double digits.

What surprised Song Yuan the most was that the young eighth prince had a huge appetite. However, this little kid, who was just as tall as his shoulders, actually had eight wild deer on the horse behind him!

Don’t you even check if you have the strength to bend the bow?

How dare you eat like this? Aren’t you afraid of eating yourself to death?

"I'm indeed not as good as my brothers. Well, let's see how Father punishes me this time!"

Song Yuan pretended to look dejected, but he was actually smiling in his heart.

When the answer is revealed, let's see who will have the last laugh.

But there was another person among the crowd.

The youngest Ninth Prince is different from his brothers.

Just like me, he got nothing.

Seeing the other person's childish look, Song Yuan paid special attention for a moment.

The look he gave this person was secretly serious. This guy was either an honest man, or... he was as scary as himself!

"Father said that a tiger father will have a dog son. I think that's just the way it is. So what if I came from the Zhenbei Palace? In the end, doesn't it still depend on strength?"

The third prince, Song Qi, was not satisfied with squeezing Song Yuan, the soft persimmon, so he actually provoked Situ Jing.

"You..." Upon hearing this, Situ Jing immediately went into a rampage mode and turned into a berserker.

Song Yuan's brows twitched wildly, and he hurried forward to stop him.

"Third brother, the emperor hasn't spoken yet. Looking at your expression, do you think you've already won?"

"Brother, I caught the most prey, what do you think?"

"Since Third Brother is so confident, how about we make a bet?"

"Oh? What do you want to bet on? Are you betting on your own head again like before?"

Song Yuan defeated the barbarians three times by gambling, and this matter had already spread in the imperial city. Facing such a gambler, the third prince Song Qi had a cold expression.

I have eighteen prey, including a black bear. How can I lose?

If you want to gamble, I'll be there for you.

Let’s see what happens when you lose in the end!

"Third brother, I want to use my own head as a bargaining chip. Do you dare to accept it?"

Seeing that Song Qi had fallen into the trap, Song Yuan smiled and told them their respective prices.

"Let's not play those tricks, brothers. How about this: whoever loses will give the winner 100,000 taels of silver?"

Thanks to the rewards and gifts, Song Yuan now has a considerable fortune.

Even so, one hundred thousand taels of silver is definitely not a small amount.

Even the Third Prince frowned slightly when he heard this.

After careful consideration, Song Qi finally agreed with a smile. "Brother, the things the emperor gave you as rewards probably only add up to a hundred thousand taels, right? Do you think it's worth risking your entire fortune for such a ridiculous claim?"

"Since Big Brother is so kind, I will naturally accompany you to the end. But let me make this clear in advance: if Big Brother loses and can't pay the money, I will go to your house and take the house away!"

Song Qi laughed particularly wildly at the end of his speech.

It was as if he had already seen the scene of himself moving into a new house and occupying Song Yuan's mansion.

Song Yuan sneered in his heart, want to win?

Go back and wash your face first!

An idiot who has fallen into a trap and doesn't even realize it.

If I don't take advantage of the opportunity to make more money, wouldn't I be missing out on such a great opportunity?

It's not just the third prince. After Song Yuan and Song Qi reached an agreement, they did not forget to set their sights on other princes!

"Fourth brother, I heard you have quite a bit of money. How about we make a bet?"

"And you, Eighth Brother, if your prey can be doubled, even winning the championship is not impossible. You are still young, how about we bet 10,000 taels?"

"enough!"

Song Yuan was talking excitedly, but unexpectedly he was stopped by Situ Jing.

The silly girl looked at Song Yuan angrily and questioned him in a bad mood.

"You bet one hundred thousand taels with the Third Prince. You sold all your family fortune, but you've just managed to get it together. Now, if you bet with someone else and lose, what will you use to compensate them?"

No, don’t try to sabotage your own people!

Song Yuan was so angry when he heard this that his eyes widened. After Situ Jing said this, everyone else reacted and retreated in the blink of an eye.

"you……"

"What do you mean by 'I'? I'm telling you in advance, if you really lose and your house is robbed, don't even think about staying at my Zhenbei Palace!"

"Also, don't bother with me. I don't have the money to pay off your gambling debts!"

Situ Jing became more and more angry as she spoke, and finally pulled the reins, leaving Song Yuan with a proud head.

Song Yuan stamped his feet repeatedly.

Spendthrift woman!

Do you know how much I lost because of your words?

It's still stingy after all.

Even if I really go bankrupt, I won't end up in your Zhenbei Palace!

Just guard your own little treasury and live alone when the time comes!

I bother.

How come you ended up scolding yourself?
