Raising a concubine under her nose, the reborn mistress marries the prince

Song Huan excitedly took the bow and arrow, gently stroking the smooth bow with his hands, his eyes flashing with excitement, and he simply couldn't let it go!

He could not suppress his inner joy and gratitude, and without hesitation he knelt on his knees and kowtowed solemnly to the emperor to express his gratitude.

Speaking of the Song family, it is well-known in Shangjing, and the most well-known among them is the eldest son of the Song family, Song Xu.

The eldest son of the Song family is extremely talented and skilled in martial arts, and has always been the pride of the Song family.

However, after today's competition, Song Huan's name will surely become well-known throughout Shangjing.

In aristocratic families, they usually focus on training the eldest son, hoping that he can shoulder the responsibilities of the family. The Song family is no exception.

Therefore, most of the outstanding children from aristocratic families are the eldest sons in the family, and they often look down on such competitions.

Because their good reputation had already been widely spread in Shangjing, they did not need to prove themselves through such occasions.

After all, as the eldest sons, they shoulder the important mission of maintaining the family's glory and development.

The family will pave the way for them at all costs.

But then again, although the second and youngest sons did not have to bear such a heavy burden, there were still some talented people among them. It was a pity that due to the limitations of their status, they rarely had the opportunity to shine.

After all, it is extremely rare for a general's family to have three sons holding important positions in the court.

At this moment, Lin Muheng, who was standing aside, noticed that Song Huan was staring at the bow in his hand with shining eyes. He immediately understood in his heart that this young man in front of him was definitely not an ordinary person and must have great ambitions.

At this moment, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, outlining a faint smile, and then he slowly opened his mouth and asked softly: "Song Huan! I wonder if you are willing to join the Yulin Guard?"

As soon as he finished speaking, it was like a thunderclap exploding in Song Huan's ears. He froze in place instantly, and the expression on his face seemed to be frozen, full of astonishment and disbelief.

You know, his serious and old-fashioned father had told him countless times in sharp words that in the Song family, only the eldest brother could take the lead, and the rest of the people could only be his vassals.

However, at this moment, the emperor solemnly asked him if he was willing to join the Yulin Guard?

Has the emperor seen his ability?

He got into trouble again today.

Thinking of this, he involuntarily turned his gaze to the Emperor who was sitting on the high throne. However, after just a quick glance, he realized that it was disrespectful to look directly at the Emperor, so he quickly lowered his head again.

But even so, the answer that came out of his mouth was unusually loud, firm and powerful: "Yes!"

At this moment, his father's instructions, which had been lingering in his mind, had long been thrown out of his mind. All the rules such as that only one person in the Song family could serve in the court in this generation were thrown out of his mind.

Why did that person have to be the eldest brother? Obviously, he was far superior to his eldest brother in terms of both literary and military strategy, as well as wisdom and knowledge, but just because his eldest brother was older than him, he could easily get all the careful cultivation and care from his father.

This is not fair!

Song Huan clenched his fists, his nails digging deeply into his palms, and he secretly vowed to himself: This time, no matter how great the difficulties and obstacles are, I must seize this rare opportunity and prove to everyone that my abilities are no less than others!

Not only can I do as well as my big brother, I can even do better!

I long to establish achievements, accomplish great things, and become a real man of integrity, rather than always relying on my elder brother to survive.

Lin Muheng, who had been observing Song Huan silently, naturally saw the burning ambition in his eyes.

He laughed heartily: "Great! Starting tomorrow, you will report to the Imperial Guards. With your own abilities, you will start from the bottom and climb up step by step. I will always pay attention to your performance!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the young masters present immediately showed envy on their faces.

You know, these young men all come from wealthy families and never have to worry about food, clothing and daily expenses.

However, no one can really understand what they desire deep in their hearts?

Even their families are indifferent to this.

The focus of the elders in the family is often on the eldest son, hoping that they can establish meritorious services and gain a firm foothold in the court.

As for the other disciples, as long as they don't cause any major trouble, everything will be fine.

Now that the emperor has personally set such a precedent, it has undoubtedly brought new hope and motivation to many young men.

In the future, they are also expected to create a world of their own through their own efforts.

Jiang Chuwei, who was standing aside, also understood what the emperor meant. She knew the deep meaning of the emperor's move - to select talents in a non-conformist way.

If we want Daqing to become increasingly powerful, we must recruit talented people and provide those with lofty ambitions with a stage to display their talents.

Only in this way can we gather the strength of talents from all sides and jointly promote the prosperity of the country.

Upon hearing that her son was personally chosen by the Emperor to join the Imperial Guard, Mrs. Song was so excited that her hands trembled slightly, her eyes instantly became moist, and crystal tears flickered in her eyes.

All along, the husband has always ruthlessly suppressed his youngest son, seemingly completely ignoring the lofty aspirations and ambitions deep in his heart.

However, as a woman who lives a secluded life, taking care of her husband and children, Mrs. Song feels extremely helpless and powerless.

Although she was well aware of her youngest son's abilities, she was unable to change the status quo and could only watch her youngest son struggle forward under the shadow of her eldest son.

In fact, the husband had his own concerns and calculations for treating his youngest son in this way.

After all, as a minister of the Ministry of War, if he had two sons who could gain a foothold in the court at the same time, it would definitely attract the attention and criticism of others. Moreover, the emperor would definitely not sit idly by and watch this happen.

However, judging from the current situation, it is obvious that my husband is worrying too much and is judging others by his own standards.

Because the emperor personally selected Song Huan to join the Yulin Guard this time, it is enough to prove that the emperor has no grudges or vigilance against the aristocratic families.

Before long, the news that Song Huan was successfully selected into the Yulin Guard due to his outstanding ability spread like wildfire and quickly spread to the streets and alleys of the capital.

This exciting news was like a thunderclap, stirring up waves in the hearts of many ministers and causing quite a stir.

From then on, those ministers realized that as long as their sons had real talent and outstanding ability, they could seek an official position in the court without any scruples and realize their grand ambitions.

Since the emperor does not have too many restrictions on the children of aristocratic families serving as officials in the court, doesn't their previous practice of being overly cautious and restricting their sons' development in every way seem a bit redundant?

As a result, these ministers began to re-examine the ways and means of educating and training their children, and were no longer as cautious and restrained as before.
