Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 165 I show my cards!

As the person closest to Song Yuan.

Song Qi naturally noticed Song Yuan's distorted expression.

Seeing that the other party was obviously a little out of control because of his arrangement.

Song Qi couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.

Well, you little bastard, now you have come to this day?

Tell me yourself, how much money have you cheated me out of from the beginning to now?

Don't think I don't know what you are planning.

You just want to take this opportunity to accept gifts!

But since I'm taking the lead, you're destined to get nothing today.

Just wait and see how I torture you!

Thinking of the last thought, Song Qi narrowed his eyes and deliberately said, "Brother, you haven't responded for a long time. Could it be that you are not satisfied with my gift?"

"Very good, very good, I was just too surprised!" Song Yuan took Ping An Fu with a smile on his face, but his heart was jumping up and down, and he wanted to strangle the bastard in front of him to death.

But what surprised him even more was that Song Qi immediately turned around and took the initiative to speak to Song Youji.

"Father, according to the tradition of the previous Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, tonight, all the civil and military officials in the court will compose poems. This year, I think it would be better to change the theme."

"My eldest brother is about to leave the imperial city and go to the front line. Why don't we use the theme of farewell as a gift? The gentlemen can regard the good things you have done as gifts. This way, it will definitely be a surprise!"

"Okay, okay, this is a really unique idea!"

Seeing Song Youji nodded with a look of satisfaction, Song Yuan's heart almost died.

You are so good, Song Qi. Just give yourself a peace amulet and I won’t say anything.

You're also encouraging others to fool me like this, right?

"I'll come first!"

Song Qi had already arranged his confidants in the crowd.

At this moment, an official walked out first. As he spoke, he came to the wooden table specially prepared by Song Qi.

Picking up the four treasures of the study, this person started to write with great enthusiasm.

After finishing the last stroke, he recited the poem he had created with a sense of relief.

For a moment, everyone present was amazed!

Only Song Yuan wanted to strangle the little bastard Song Qi to death.

OK OK.

Is that how you play?

If you don’t let me be happy today, then no one will be happy!

Song Yuan originally just wanted to take this opportunity to make one last fortune in the imperial city.

In the end, the plan failed.

He had already made preparations, so at worst he could just ask for it shamelessly.

Unexpectedly, Song Qi was even more skilled and directly used poetry as a gift.

In this case, how can Song Yuan attack again?

After all, there is another meaning behind giving this thing as a gift. Although it is not valuable, it also contains deep feelings!

Therefore, the poem is equivalent to a thought. Under such circumstances, even if Song Yuan is resourceful, he really can't think of a second reason to ask for a gift!

This person's opening speech caused a stir among the civil and military officials present.

Even many first-rank officials took the initiative to step forward and express their gratitude.

In such a peaceful atmosphere, Song Yuan stared at Song Qi intently. If looks could kill, Song Qi would have died many times by now!

Third brother, you are really awesome this time!

We'll see!

You ruined my plan to make money, so I will make you bleed heavily!

By the end of the dinner, Song Yuan had collected nearly a hundred poems.

Although the authors of these poems were all prominent figures in the imperial court, they would definitely be considered ancient relics after being kept for hundreds of years!

But now that these people are still alive, it is worthless.

Seeing his followers all holding scrolls in their hands, Song Yuan's face showed an expression of being at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

The third brother is really amazing.

Before leaving, he set himself up for a fight!

However, since he is so despicable, don't blame me for being ruthless!

What superficial brothers? I’m going to show my cards straight away!

I’m afraid you, the third brother, have already ignored it?

I still have a handle on you!

However, even though he cursed in his heart, Song Yuan still endured and did not leave.

After all, he had not forgotten his previous promise to Situ Jing, and took this opportunity to ask for the golden armor.

Seeing Song Youji holding a wine glass with a big smile on his face, Song Yuan sensed an opportunity and immediately stepped forward and made his request.

"Don't worry, it's just a matter of golden armor. I will definitely send someone to arrange it before you leave!"

With such a promise, Song Yuan finally felt relieved.

But before he could forget about it, he saw Song Youji's face suddenly turned serious and he said seriously.

"You kid, remember this, when you get to the border, you'll be representing my reputation, don't embarrass me!"

"But don't forget one thing: saving your life is paramount. As long as you can stay alive, you can give up anything!"

"If you really can't make it, come back to the Imperial City. At worst, I'll protect you!"

As soon as these words came out, Song Yuan's pupils couldn't help but flash with a bit of crystal.

He was truly touched.

Ever since Song Yuan traveled through time, Song Youji, as a father, has been very nice to him.

Although it was publicly stated that Song Yuan could not inherit the throne.

But no matter what you do, at least you can consider it from Song Yuan's perspective.

At this moment of parting, he said a few true words.

When Song Yuan heard that the other party was willing to protect him, he almost burst into tears.

It's just a pity.

After all, I am just an illegitimate child.

In order to protect oneself and to survive, rebellion is imperative!

If the day ever comes that I rise up in rebellion, the father and son will fight each other.

Or, the third brother will take over and oppress by force.

I have no choice but to rebel!

In the end, Song Yuan, with a bit of regret, clinked glasses of wine with Song Youji.

The next second, he turned around resolutely and never stopped.

For some things, you must be ruthless. Being too weak will only lead to missing opportunities.

Considering his own face, Song Yuan did not leave immediately, but walked slowly forward and came to Song Qi's side.

Facing his enemy, Song Yuan was the first to raise his glass: "Third brother, your performance today was really good. It really impressed me!"

"Brother, you are amazing too. I never realized before that you have so many thoughts!"

The two of them leaned over and whispered in each other's ears, appearing to be very kind on the surface.

Seeing this scene, Song Youji felt quite relieved.

The third brother can perform like this.

The prince should decide for himself as well!

Song Yuan didn't know what Song Youji was thinking. At this moment, he was only thinking about how to get back at him. Seeing that Song Qi was quite proud, he spoke directly and threatened him.

"Third brother, I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have forgotten something. So, after the banquet is over, you should prepare 200,000 taels of silver in advance and come to my house to find me. We can talk about it then!"

Are you fucking crazy?

Hearing this, Song Qi's face suddenly changed, and there was a bit more indifference in his eyes when he looked at Song Yuan.

Why should I give you two hundred thousand taels for nothing?

I just gave you money, and you're still asking for too much.

You are clearly taking advantage of me!

"Why?" Song Qi asked subconsciously with some anger.

Unexpectedly, Song Yuan suddenly grinned: "Third brother, you said that you are about to sit on the throne of the crown prince. You don't want any accidents to happen at this juncture, right?"

Are you fucking threatening me?

I have already done all the tricks, what else can you do to me?

You are about to leave the imperial city. Who would believe what you say at this moment?

Faced with Song Yuan being so mysterious, Song Qi suddenly felt a little disdain in his heart.

He was about to refuse the other party immediately, but when he confronted Song Yuan, an idea flashed in his mind.

The next second, a past event came to mind.

The conflict between the two was caused by the Prince's Seal.

The prince died tragically and the prince's seal was lost.

Damn, that thing can’t really be on this kid, right?

Thinking of this, a hint of frost appeared on Song Qi's brow. Now that Song Yuan really wanted to threaten him, this was probably the only reason!

"Third brother, if one day I can return safely from the border, I will definitely get drunk with you!"

While Song Qi was stunned, Song Yuan suddenly picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

After he finished speaking, he turned around, leaving Song Qi with a mysterious back.

Looking at the other person, he moved closer to Duke Wei.

Song Qi shook hands firmly, and a bit of anger arose in his heart.

That’s right, this little bastard probably wants to threaten me with the Prince’s Seal.

Such a traitor has evil intentions.

Do I really have to offer two hundred thousand taels with both hands?

Although Song Qi is quite wealthy, his money did not come from the wind.

What's more, in order to maintain his business and bribe his subordinates, his daily expenses were already quite high.

If we really have to spend another 200,000 chariots of silver, it will be a serious blow to our business.

But Song Qi could sense what Song Yuan meant. Would he dare to refuse?

This is not about silver at all. This is clearly a trap set by Song Yuan for himself.

Is it about giving away money?

Or give up the great opportunity in front of you?

For a moment, Song Qi was in a dilemma. He hid in a corner and stamped his feet secretly.

The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet lasted for an hour.

After the banquet, Song Yuan took his time to get on a carriage with his servants and headed towards the palace.

This time he came clean and revealed his purpose in front of Song Qi.

This is just to save face!

More importantly, Song Yuan was about to leave the imperial city, so at this juncture he was naturally not afraid of revenge.

After all, Song Qi had already gained the upper hand in the prince's fight for the throne, so how could he make a mistake at such an important time?

"Let me ask you, did you discuss those mooncakes with the third brother long ago?"

Just when Song Yuan felt indifferent, Situ Jing suddenly came up with the money and asked.

When she saw the fourth brother making trouble, her heart was in her throat. But when she saw Song Yuan easily resolve the situation, she naturally wanted to know the reason behind the whole thing.

"It was all an accident, don't think too much about it!" Song Yuan waved his hand and denied it.

But Situ Jing no longer believed his words: "I can see that you and my aunt said exactly the same thing!"

"You are so insidious, cunning, despicable and sly. You are indeed a bad guy!"

"Look at what you said?" Song Yuan rolled his eyes in annoyance.

How could you say that about your own man?

"Even if I'm a bad boy, I'm still your husband now. It's too late for you to regret it now!"
