Song Song never married a wangye before, so he didn’t know that marrying Li Xiao would bring such a huge spectacle. The emperor Hong Ren had a total of five sons and three daughters. Other than the 4th princess who was married off to a far away foreign nation for political connections, the other royal relatives remained in the capital, and almost all of them came to greet Song Song.
In these people were the 6th prince and 7th prince who both did not obtain a title yet and so did not have their own estate outside, the 8th princess, born of the empress, who was only 12-13 years old, sitting adorably quiet at the table, looking very gentle and refined.
Song Song couldn’t resist focusing his attention on the empress and the crown prince. The empress’s smile was watertight. The crown prince was also as the rumors say: considerate, gentle looking, every word spoken in a kind manner. In the previous life, Song Song was screwed by Song Ge once. Whenever he saw this kind of person who looked like he was wearing sheep skin nowadays, he secretly complained that the person was just showing a human’s face while hiding a beast’s heart, very two faced.
When they returned from the palace, it was already afternoon. The snow was still piled on top of the houses and tree branches, not yet melted. Song Song followed Li Xiao onto the carriage and heard him say: “5th brother’s character is resolute and upright. He works with me in the barracks. 6th brother’s head is very clever. A few days before, he asked father to be placed in the department of justice to help solve cases. 7th brother is still small. His mother passed away early. When he was small, he was raised together with me. It’s likely he’ll come find you to play tomorrow.”
He summarized his brothers’ characteristics in a few short words. Song Song took a moment to remember them and asked: “How’s our relationship with them?”
“5th brother’s mother is very close to Empress Qin. He’s not as close to us, but his heart isn’t bad. Very straightforward and places a lot of importance on sentiments.”
He didn’t try to conceal his relationship concerning the empress to Song Song. Song Song understood in his heart and couldn’t resist asking: “How is the crown prince?”
Li Xiao replied lightly: “The crown prince is generous and honest, traditional but warmhearted, just like what the rumors say”
Song Song blinked, somehow feeling like the way he talked about the crown prince was different from his other brothers. However, Li Xiao’s face clearly showed some displeasure, so Song Song didn’t ask anymore, only gently squeezed his hand.
The latter looked at him, so Song Song gave him a faint smile. In response, Li Xiao immediately leaned close and kissed him on the mouth.
Song Song: “…….”
He withdrew his hand and turned his face.
Upon returning to the king’s estate, Li Xiao left for the study to deal with military affairs. Steward Wi brought over a box full of finance entries. He gave Song Song a salute, and said respectfully: “In here are all the records of the estate’s expenses for food, clothes, and daily items. Also there’s an accounting book used to record daily spending used to maintain relationships with other lords. I already sent a message to the capital’s stores and the territories outside the city to send over their inventory and account books. We will be receiving those later. Other than this, this servant also organized and categorized wangfei’s dowry for you to inspect.”
Steward Qi was a very astute person. He’s well aware of how well Li Xiao treated Song Song. From now on, he knew Song Song will be the one and only ‘head matron’ of the household. Instead of waiting for Song Song to find him and ask him to hand over the power to manage the estate, he might as well pass it over early and leave a good impression in front of the wangfei.

Song Song looked at the box behind him and said: “This much? I’ll never be able to look through it all.”
“Rb cffv ab offi gertfv, kjcuofl. Tbe mjc ub ribkis. Ljbsec lr jirb nfgs rwjga. Po sbe tjnf jcs lrrefr, pera mjii tlw.”

“What kind of talk is this, wangfei. Of course this servant will be happy to serve your every beck and call.”
Before, Li Xiao was always busy with military affairs. In the estate, steward Qi pretty much managed everything by himself. Although Song Song trusted him completely, now that he grabbed onto Li Xiao’s golden thighs, naturally he should also help the man do some stuff. The bottom line of the estate’s finances, he still had to understand.
However, this box of account records was no hurry. Song Song had to understand what was placed in the storage room first. Seeing the sun about to set, he made his way to the kitchen to place soup on the stove to stew so he could eat it with Li Xiao later. Who knew that while the soup on his side wasn’t even ready, someone already came to report: “There’s an issue at the barracks. Wangye just went over.”
“This late? What’s so important he has to go now?”
“This servant is unclear.”
Song Song didn’t make things difficult for the messenger. He lost interest in stewing soup, asked the chef to casually make something to eat, then went to sleep. On the second day, Li Xiao still didn’t return. Song Song didn’t have anything to do, therefore called steward Qi over and asked: “In our estate, is there a personal doctor who looks after wangye’s health?”
“There is. Before he went traveling for a month, saying he was going to gather some herbs. He just returned two days ago. Does wangfei feel unwell?“ Steward Qi had a face full of worry. Song Song immediately shook his head and said: “Is this person trustworthy?”
“Everyone by wangye’s side can be trusted.”
With steward Qi’s guarantee, Song Song relaxed and said: “Steward Qi, can you invite him over to check my pulse?”
Steward Qi left to fulfill his instruction. After a long while, he returned pulling along a man who was still yawning widely. His half opened eyes looked like he didn’t get enough sleep. He lazily saluted Song Song: “This commoner’s name is Ji Ying. Greetings to wangfei.”
Song Song was surprised to see he was still squinting his eyes, looking like his thoughts were still left in bed, and wondered how he managed to stay alive so long being so lacking in manners. He said politely: “No need to be formal. Sorry to trouble the skilled doctor.”
His warm words finally made Ji Ying lift his eyelids to spare him a glance. Just one look made him instantly see straight. He recalled steward Qi telling him that last time Li Xiao had an outburst, Song Song was somehow lucky enough to calm him down. He secretly thought, no wonder. Who knew Li Xiao was also the type to open his eyes after seeing someone pretty.
He sat down on the table and looked towards Song Song’s outstretched wrist. He was just about to reach over, when steward Qi abruptly kicked his chair. Fetching a handkerchief, he placed it over Song Song’s wrist and examined his pulse for a moment. He looked at Song Song strangely for a second. Under Song Song’s expectant expression, he said: “Wangfei’s body has a little cold, but not to worry. Normally just eat some more warm foods. Pay attention to avoid getting chilled. Have a warm soak for your feet at night. It shouldn’t cause any issues.”
He withdrew his hand, taking the handkerchief with him. Patting dust off his butt, he got ready to leave, Song Song hastily asked: “There’s nothing else?”
Ji Ying said: “Wangfei is chosen by the heavens. You will definitely have good fortune and live long. No need to worry.”
This change in tone as if making fun of his groundless fears, Song Song didn’t pay any attention to. Inside his heart, he already started having a bad feeling. He asked again: “There really isn’t anything else?”
Ji Ying laughed lightly. Although he lived in the king’s estate, he wasn’t a slave here. Normally when someone asked for him, even if they offered to pay thousands, it’d still have to depend on his mood whether he wanted to treat or not. Now just look at this Song Song. He just entered the estate and was already impatiently trying to use his newly gained resources. Not only did he call him here in a hurry, and didn’t have to worry about paying him. In the end, he didn’t even believe his diagnosis. He said: “If wangfei doesn’t believe me, you can go to another clinic outside.”
“Doctor, doctor, hold on.” Song Song called him. He sent away the servants, then walked to Ji Ying’s side and said: “Just now you used your handkerchief, would it have affected your diagnosis and caused you to miss something?”
Ji Ying said: “Some conditions, this one doesn’t need to examine the pulse. Just by looking at the color of your face I can tell. Wangfei’s facial color is rosy, looking extremely healthy. However, since you’re so worried, you might as well say it clearly. This one still has to go get some more sleep.”
“I… I want to see if I’m pregnant.”
Ji Ying stiffened all over. He turned his head to look back at Song Song. The latter’s eye expression was clear and held expectation. He saw Ji Ying staring at him nonstop and said somewhat awkwardly: “If doctor is certain that I’m not. Then, then just pretend I’m thinking too much.”
Song Song turned, but Ji Ying called him back: “You, wait a second…”
Song Song instantly turned back. Ji Ying coughed and said: “Let’s, let’s test again.”
Song Song quickly sat down and quietly extended his hand over. Ji Ying saw his expression and waved away the thought: there’s another lunatic in the estate now, then seriously checked his pulse again. After a long while, he looked at Song Song, expression held a bit more uncertainty.
“Wangfei’s pulse… seems weaker than normal men.” He frowned, meeting the other’s clear eyes again. Finally he concluded that this estate not only had a lunatic, but now had a dumbass. Maybe it’s a result of being frightened too much by wangye. He withdrew his hand and said: “Has wangfei seen any hallucinations lately?”
Song Song shook his head.
“How about headaches?”
He shook his head again.
“Why would you think you were pregnant then?”
Song Song understood his meaning and felt a small amount of disappointment alongside a whole lot of embarrassment. He withdrew his hand weakly and said in a small voice: “I’m really not pregnant?”
“…….” Ji Ying was at the last of his patience, but he was afraid that if he threw a temper, the other would be scared dumber. Therefore he said gently: “Don’t worry. Unless the sun rises from the west, you won’t be pregnant. Be good.”
Song Song heard him say this, instantly replied: “What if I become pregnant?”
The heavens had a good eye to put this lunatic and dumbass together. Ji Ying showed a strange expression and said: “If you become pregnant, then I’ll become this child’s son and call you grandfather. How’s that?”
Song Song thought about his condescending expression when he entered, eyes spun shrewdly, and said: “This I don’t believe. You have to write it down, sign your signature, and leave a handprint.”
“You little dumb…. Little cutie.” Ji Ying had a face full of a doctor and parent’s benevolence. He retrieved pen and paper, and wrote boldly on it: “Alright. I’ll do it for you. And you have to eat well, grow smarter, and be obedient. Remember that?”
Song Song collected the paper and said obediently: “Ok”
The writer has something to say:
Dumb Dumb: Wangye, tonight…..
Crazy crazy: ?
Thinking of me again?
Thank you for the update ❤️💯
I’m really hoping there’s the scene later where Ji Ying overheads that Doctor calling Song Song grandfather and asks about it. I want to know if he’d find it funny or get mad that a mere doctor would dare doubt his Song Song could get pregnant.
Thank You for the chapter ʚ♡⃛ɞ(ू•ᴗ•ू❁)
Thank you for the update!
Dum dum and Cray cray😆💗
Lmao 🤣
Since his body was altered using some sort of holy medicine, wouldn’t the doctor be aware of said medicine that allows male pregnancy? Hmm.
So condescending, telling him he’ll have a long life, under the circumstances. I guess he didn’t get into the betting pool about how soon Song Song is going to die since he just got back. It’s going to funny when the baby comes and has a grown doctor calling him Father 🤭
LMAOO NOT DUMB DUMB X CRAZY CRAZY
The doctors would immediately call him grandpa 😂
Aww I thought the little munchkin was here! But I guess I was wrong 😔
~Some time later~
Interviewer: How does it feel to have a newborn child as a father? And a grandfather young and more beutiful than you?
Doctor: I was wrong!!!!! Please stop 😭
hmmm Either he isn’t pregnant yet or it’s a magical pregnancy that can’t be detected LOL but realistically they should have had sex the very night just like the past life otherwise the baby can be different it could turn into a girl and I feel like that was devastating the mc not for being a female but that he technically killed or replaced the new life of his old baby and that’s devastating🧐 but they’re probably going to say that just like rebirth the soul will be the same 😂
Lmao 😂 😂 😂
I bet his jaw will drop on the ground when he found out he is pregnant 😂😂
