Mother, I have returned to the throne.

Chapter 168: Showing Off

Song Yuan didn't want to care about the matter of the third prince becoming the crown prince.

What he cares most about now is going to the frontier.

As long as you leave the imperial city, the water will be high enough for fish to jump and the sky will be high enough for birds to fly.

Even the king of heaven can’t control you, so what are you afraid of?

But Song Yuan didn't cause trouble to others, but trouble came to him automatically.

The next day at noon, before Song Yuan had even eaten, he heard the hurried voices of the servants.

"Your Highness, this is bad. The Eastern Palace sent someone to deliver a message saying that the Crown Prince will be coming to visit and ask Your Highness to go out and greet him. What should we do?"

meet?

Is this kid Song Qi probably crazy?

Hearing this, Song Yuan sneered.

This guy is clearly getting carried away.

Now that you have just become the crown prince and the enthronement ceremony has not yet been completed, do you really think you are sitting on the throne?

Well, I'll let him see it for himself.

As a prince, I will not allow myself to be bullied by others!

"Notify everyone, go out immediately and welcome the Crown Prince!"

Song Yuan raised his eyebrows and gave a soft order.

Ye Xuan rushed over upon hearing the news, a hint of doubt in her eyes: "Song Qi is just a clown, do we really want to treat him like this?"

Song Yuan shrugged and pretended to be helpless.

"There's nothing I can do. No matter what, he's the crown prince now. Even if it's just for etiquette, I can't neglect him!"

Although Song Yuan has great ambitions in his heart, at least he has not yet escaped the control of the imperial city.

Some plays still need to be done well!

However, when he said this, Song Yuan sneered in his heart.

You want to show off in front of me?

That's the wrong person!

At that moment, all the servants in the palace were in a frenzy. It took half an incense stick of time before they finally ran out of the courtyard at Song Yuan's command.

The upper and lower people were lined up for several hundred meters.

As the owner of the palace, Song Yuan stood at the front and watched the meeting quietly.

After a while, accompanied by a noise, a huge team came!

At the front of the team, many people were beating drums and gongs, looking extremely festive.

There are over a hundred horses alone!

I have to say, the third prince’s show is really grand.

Such a convoy stretching for hundreds of meters is an indescribable sight!

Facing this scene, Song Yuan and he had a hint of indifference in their eyes.

This kid is really not afraid of death!

He was just crowned yesterday, yet he is acting so high-profile today.

Do you really think that your father is blind?

This guy actually wanted to show off, so I decided to make a big deal out of this matter today.

If Song Youji knew this, would he regret his decision?

"Welcome to the Crown Prince!"

As the carriage slowly moved forward, Song Yuan nodded calmly while speaking.

According to common sense, although Song Yuan and the prince are brothers, as a subject, he is exempt from kneeling to pay his respects, but he must bow at least.

But Song Yuan acted so straightforwardly, with his back straight.

Such a scene naturally aroused the disgust of many people.

A servant immediately appeared in front of the sedan chair where the third prince was and started to scold.

"Do you understand etiquette? Don't you know how to behave when you see the prince?"

Seeing a small follower, how dare he boss me around?

Song Yuan's pupils suddenly revealed a hint of indifference, and he roared: "Who gave you the courage to speak to me like this?"

"Don't blame me, big brother. I am just following etiquette!"

Just as Song Yuan was about to make trouble, a familiar voice was heard. The third prince Song Qi calmly lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and walked out.

There was clearly a hint of amusement in the look he gave Song Yuan.

"Brother, we have a deep bond as brothers. Logically, there should be no distinction between superiors and inferiors. However, it is a royal custom for a prince to bow to the crown prince. You are standing so straight now, but what if our father finds out?"

The third prince threatened calmly, and while saying this, he was filled with pride.

You little bastard, you screwed me so badly before.

Today I become the crown prince, and I will get my face back no matter what!

It’s a pity that the third prince only remembered his identity as Prince Song Yuan, but forgot his other name.

In addition to being a prince, Song Yuan is also a prince!

The three words "King of Jingbei" are not just a joke!

"Third brother, as you said, I am indeed a prince, but besides being a prince, don't forget that I am the King of Jingbei, who was personally appointed by our father!"

"Since you're talking to me about the rules, I'll explain it to you. Is there any rule in the dynasty that even the prince has to bow to you, the crown prince?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Third Prince's face suddenly turned gloomy.

Song Yuan was right, there was indeed no such set of rules in the etiquette of the Qin Dynasty!

According to common sense, the prince and the crown prince are of the same level.

If we really talk about hierarchy, Song Yuan is a real prince, and when the third prince ascends to the throne and goes through the enthronement ceremony, it is still unclear who will pay respects to whom!

"I actually forgot about that. Now that Big Brother has reminded me, I'll forget about it in the books!"

"We are brothers, there is no need to dwell on these details!" He thought that if he continued to insist, he would probably suffer in the end.

Song Qi immediately changed his original statement and spoke with a smile.

"Since Third Brother is so humble, let's go!"

Song Yuan turned around with a forced smile and pointed at the mansion behind him.

A chill indeed spread in my heart along with this action.

This guy is not afraid of death.

You just became the crown prince, and you want to regain your status in front of me?

Is he okay?

He was incompetent at first, and now that he is in power, he is even more incompetent!

This kind of idiot has something wrong with his brain.

Do you really think that everything will be settled once the imperial edict is issued?

As long as the enthronement ceremony is not held, the position of the crown prince will never be stable. Even this point cannot be seen clearly. In his heart, Song Yuan has even excluded the other party from the range of enemies.

A fool is not worthy of being your enemy.

If you argue with him, you will only bring shame upon yourself!

The two of them walked all the way to the mansion, and after they sat down, Song Yuan began to ask the main questions.

"If it weren't for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what on earth could it be that he came to me for?"

"Brother, I'm here because my father asked me to tell you that at noon the day after tomorrow, he will lead the entire court to see you off at the North Gate!"

"Brother, you must remember the time and don't delay this important event!"

"Oh, is that all?"

"Of course not. I just thought that my eldest brother was leaving soon, and we have a deep brotherly bond, so I came to see you so that I can remember what you look like when the time comes!"

The third prince continued speaking, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes when he said this.

"It's a long journey to the borderland, and that place isn't peaceful. I'm really worried about you, big brother, but unfortunately, my father has already issued an order, and I'm afraid this matter can't be changed!"

The third prince pretended to sigh, but anyone could hear the threat in his words.

This bastard must have bad intentions.

Song Yuan had even thought of it.

Once he leaves the imperial city, the other party will definitely use his position as the crown prince to do everything possible to make things difficult for him.

In this remote place, the sky is high and the emperor is far away.

If he really died there, it would be unclear why.

However, how could Song Yuan suffer this loss in silence?

No matter how eloquent the Third Prince was, Song Yuan still challenged him without hesitation.

"Third brother, what you said is correct. You have just become the crown prince. You should take advantage of this opportunity to come and see me. This will prevent any mistakes from happening and make your position as crown prince unstable!"

"You..." Faced with Song Yuan's curse, the third prince's face suddenly turned red.

Can't you just hope for something good from me?

Damn, why do I feel guilty after hearing what he said?

The Third Prince was unsure whether Song Yuan still had any leverage over him, and he felt somewhat regretful. At the same time, in order to get rid of the trouble, he immediately stood up and waved goodbye.

"We respectfully send the prince on his way!"

Seeing this, Song Yuan immediately spoke.

Such words made the Third Prince's expression even gloomier.

What do you mean by sending me on my way?

Facing the third prince's cold gaze, Song Yuan seemed to have realized his mistake.

He immediately changed his words and said, "Don't blame me, Third Brother. I said the wrong thing. I just wanted to say that I hope you have a safe journey. Don't think too much!"

Seeing the third prince leave with hatred, Song Yuan narrowed his eyes.

This idiot guy was eager for revenge before I even left or even sat down.

If he is not given a taste of his strength, this guy may not be able to settle down.

Anyway, I am leaving soon, so before I leave, I might as well give my third brother a big gift!

When the time comes, I will go to the border.

No matter how chaotic the imperial city gets, it has nothing to do with me.
