As soon as Song Song was released, he immediately straightened out his clothes.
As soon as Li Xiao started his movements, the servants already quickly looked away. However, Song Song still felt an unavoidable bashfulness in his heart. This act of Li Xiao was really way too frivolous, he was somewhat… unable to bear it.
He lifted his foot and started walking towards the main house. When he noticed that Li Xiao didn’t follow him, he stopped to look at him. Li Xiao chuckled lightly and reached out his hand to loop around his waist, saying into his ear: “And here I thought Song-er got angry.”
He was a little angry.
Song Song pressed his lips together and didn’t answer.
Ever since Li Xiao got majorly drunk during the wedding night, normally he was pretty moderate with his drinks. Nevertheless, after they returned, Song Song still ordered someone to make Li Xiao some hangover soup.
Li Xiao undressed and got into bed. He laid on top watching Song Song: “Still angry?”
Song Song rolled his eyes at him and said: “No.”
“Still dare to glare at me? Come here.”
“… …” Song Song put down the soup bowl. As soon as he walked over, he was fished over by Li Xiao. His slender waist was instantly held within the man’s arms.
Song Song’s now healthy body was soft to touch. The soap smell from his body was light and captivating. Li Xiao’s lightly cooled nose touched his face, and he said hoarsely: “This husband feels a bit bad.”
Although Song Song acted upset with him outwardly, he really didn’t take it to heart. When he heard Li Xiao’s words, he reached out and hugged Li Xiao. Lightly patting his head, Song Song consoled him: “Alright alright. Let me hug you. Don’t feel bad.”
He thought about Li Yang and couldn’t help but sigh in his head. Clearly a pair of good brothers, how could they encounter this kind of thing?
Li Xiao held on to him deeply, his cheek buried into Song Song’s neck. His long fingers stroking through Song Song’s long black hair, he hugged him tighter and panted lowly next to his ear: “Feels worse….”
How could he feel worse?
Song Song blanked for a moment, then finally realized that Li Xiao didn’t feel bad because of his emotional troubles, but rather because of what they were doing on the table earlier.
Cheeks burning, he immediately reached out his hands to push. However, because the other had hugged him so tightly, he couldn’t push away at all, so Song Song continued to play dumb: “Your highness, do you want to vent to someone…. Go ahead, I’ll listen.”
“This king’s heart is indeed filled with many passionate words to give to Song-er.”
“Then.. then go ahead.”
“Need to be a little closer first.” Li Xiao turned his head: “Song-er needs to be more receptive…so this king can say everything.”
“You…”
Li Xiao took Song Song’s hands and brought them over. He kissed Song Song’s cheek and said: “I’m in Song-er’s hands now.”

“To… find big brother, and ask clearly.”
He swayed, clearly not thinking straight. Rushing over to a big tree, he grabbed it and started shaking it: “Why? Why do you treat me differently? Why do you hate me? Tell me… …”
Li Qing walked over to watch him. The tree was as silent as Li Xiao. Li Yang couldn’t possibly get an answer.
Li Qing also stood silently on the side and let him continue to stumble around, until it seemed like Li Yang abruptly had a new idea: “I… I’m going to ask mother. Mother definitely knows.”
He staggered, and was steadied by Li Qing again: “It’s already this late. Why don’t you go ask tomorrow. Mother is probably asleep by now.”
Shaking his head, Li Yang stumbled over to the horse he rode over. However, his limbs were weak so even after a long while, he still couldn’t climb on. Li Qing paused, then helped him get on the horse, asking: “Are you sure you want to enter the palace right now?”
Li Yang nodded vigorously. He squeezed the horse’s flanks and pulled on the reins. Two steps later, his whole body fell off.
The servants to the side were all scared to death. Li Qing quickly stepped forward to catch him. Suddenly falling from such a high height, the abrupt loss of control seemed to almost jolt Li Yang awake a little. He blinked: “Qing-er… “
Li Qing grabbed him around the waist and steadied him, saying faintly: “It’s already late. Are you sure you want to enter the palace to find mother?”
Li Yang blanked for a long time, his cheeks as well as his eyes were both red. Gradually, it seemed like his feverish state receded. He slowly shook his head.
“Then let’s return in the carriage. I’ll take you back.”
Li Yang didn’t resist anymore. When he walked in front of the carriage, his waist was supported by someone as he climbed in with soft arms and legs. After he fell into his seat, he dazed off for a little longer, then rubbed at his eyes hard with his hands.
The temperature within the carriage rose. His finally cleared head started to feel hot again. Li Qing lifted the curtains from outside and saw Li Yang curled up inside on the seat, crying with his face covered.
The rumors that traveled around outside always said that the crown prince was a fat rabbit and wangye was a mad wolf. Some people felt that this rabbit definitely couldn’t be a real rabbit like the rumors said, otherwise how could he have become the crown prince.
Everyone believed that in the royal family, every prince wanted indubitably to sit on the throne. However, this wasn’t the case in reality. Li Qing walked into the carriage to help him up, but Li Yang curled up more in the corner not saying a word.
Emperor Hong Ren knew they weren’t born from the same mother, Afraid they would feel estranged from each other, after he finished the affairs of the nation, he spent the rest of his time on his sons.
Li Xiao was taught to love and protect his younger brothers, no matter what.
The princes were placed in the same living quarters to eat and sleep. It was unknown how the information got out. Someone sent assassins and accidentally captured Li Yang as a hostage. At that time Li Xiao was only 9 years old, but even then, his courage was astonishing. He said: “What’s the point of grabbing him? He’s just the son of a concubine. He’s uneducated and weak. No one cares if there was one more or one less of him in the royal family. If I were the emperor, even if you killed him, I’d still find the person who sent you.”
The assassin was pretty open minded: “Looks like the crown prince, your highness, wants to do an exchange with me?”
The 9 year old Li Xiao, wearing plain indoor clothes, casually spread over his arms and smiled slightly: “If you want a hostage, wouldn’t I be more valuable?”
While the assassin hesitated, Li Yang hastily yelled: “Big brother dont… …”
Li Xiao shot him a cold look that made him shut up immediately. The assassin’s eyes gained a bit of interest: “If I were to capture and bring you back, my master would definitely reward me well.”
The battle against the nation of Jin started from this moment.
Li Xiao was brought away by that assassin. Because his age was small, the assassin gradually lowered his guard against him after they left the capital. Sometimes, he even discussed attack plans with his subordinates right in front of Li Xiao. He never would have thought that Li Xiao had been in contact and communicating with his own nation’s agents during the entire trip. When they almost reached the border, the assassin was captured.
The base for the assassins from the nation of Jin was even razed to the ground.
When he came back, the first thing Li Xiao did was to visit Li Yang. He said to him: “I called you worthless just to trick the assassin. Did you take it seriously?”
Li Yang naturally only shook his head.
The younger would always subconsciously worship the elder. Li Yang was the 2nd oldest brother so Li Xiao was the person he worshiped and adored the most in his youth.
When Li Xiao went insane and was locked up in a cage, unable to recognize anyone. Li Yang made Li Qing help him visit Li Xiao once. He was almost directly choked to death by Li Xiao. After that, the emperor forbade him from going anywhere near Li Xiao. Then after that, Li Xiao became sometimes good, sometimes bad and was released from the cage. Li Yang also went to see him. At first, he said to Li Qing: “Big brother’s illness is unstable. He’s probably afraid to hurt me.”
After that he said: “I think big brother…. might dislike me.”
Then after that, he seemed to have realized something and no longer mentioned this matter anymore.
Until today, under the influence of liquor, he finally asked the question he had suppressed for many years. Unfortunately, Li Xiao still didn’t answer him.
Li Qing fell silent for a long time again. He slowly reached out, and patted Li Yang on the shoulder.
Inside the main house, the bed curtains covered up everything completely. The smell of xxxx permeated the air. Song Song was curled up in the corner with his back facing Li Xiao. He heard the man behind him move a little and then stick against him: “Song-er?”
Song Song’s ears and neck were both red as hell. He raised the blankets to the top of his head and covered himself up, trying to ignore Li Xiao.
Clearly the other was a noble king, yet… why does he act like a scoundrel sometimes?
“Is Song-er asleep?”
An arm circled his waist. Li Xiao mumbled: “Really asleep? Then this king will… “
“… …!” Song Song grabbed that hand and started hitting him out of embarrassment and rage: “Can’t you rest a little?!”
“I still have to thank Song-er for feeling willing to help relieve me today. This husband feels much better now.”
“… …” Ah—!
Song Song wordlessly screamed in his heart and wanted to cry. He felt like Li Xiao shouldn’t be like this. In the previous life, Li Xiao wasn’t like this! Their first night was rough but also tender. Although he couldn’t remember the details now, he knew that this man… shouldn’t be behaving like a pervert.
He definitely felt like something went wrong. How could the dignified, coldhearted emperor of the previous life be this…. this shameless man in front of him.
He buried himself deeper into the blankets.
He felt that it wasn’t blood flowing in his body, but lava, burning his bones and flesh. His ears felt like they were smoking from the heat. He completely didn’t notice Li Xiao was currently patiently looking at him.
Li Xiao’s mood today was indeed very poor. If it were in the past, and he was in a bad mood, he would probably go practice sword in the backyard or maybe even have a random outburst. However, now it was no longer the same.
He had a little plaything to tease—
No, not a plaything. It’s his little wife.
Song Song suffocated himself for a while. After becoming sweaty all over, he had no choice but to come out. His reddened ears looked like they were painted with oil. His white cheeks looked like they were tender meat ready to be placed on the grill. He fiddled with the long hair sticking to his cheek and upon discovering that there was no movement behind him, he slowly turned his head to look.
The man was propped up on one hand, looking at him with a smile.
Song Song immediately turned back, and heard a light chuckle from behind him. The man peeled off the blankets wrapped around him and pulled him into his arms: “I won’t tease Song-er anymore, so don’t ignore me.”
“You… “
He finally realized afterwards that Li Xiao was a little drunk. His gentle eyes carried a shine, and his handsome face leaned in very close… Close enough he felt like he was going to be infected by his intoxication as well.
But intoxication couldn’t be transferred like that.
Song Song looked down and lightly huffed: “If you… if you keep messing around, then I’ll keep ignoring you.”
“I wasn’t messing around.” Li Xiao lazily held him: “Please don’t slander me, Song-er.”
“Right. You weren’t, you weren’t messing around. You were…. “
“En?”
Being a pervert.
Song Song frowned and looked at him bitterly. He also felt a little bad.
Because he suddenly felt that a slightly intoxicated Li Xiao, speaking in that lazy tone of voice and looking at him with a soft gentle gaze, was extremely seductive.
He slightly moved a little, accidently touching the little Li Xiao that he just relieved with his own hands.
The sight of it when it grew bigger…
Really makes a person flush red.
Thank You for the chapter (´,,•ω•,,)♡
Thank you for the chapter 💕💕💕
Hehe pregnancy hormones plus intoxicated rogue of a husband 🤭
I wonder what the empress will think about Li Yang crying over the lost affection from his only older brother. Nasty woman.
Crying 😭 to be honest, I prefer to know their relationship as siblings is still good even though there are a few problems, compared to seeing them drop each other for the royal throne. But this still makes me sad 🙁 I’m very annoyed with the empress now, she killed Li Xiao’s mother, harmed Li Xiao and even broke their brotherhood.
The friendship btw the brothers are so refreshing, a different feel compare to other historical novels.
Hemm, i think i know what LX felt. You know, you love your brother, keep them precious, but suddenly your step mother kill your birth mother, poison you and even made him take what actually yours with the most vicious scheme. But he didn’t know a thing and still regard you as their idol, their hero.
Of course i felt repulsive. Between love and hate. I resent him for didn’t know anything, but also relieved that he didn’t know a thing.
Ooooo so complicated
+1
Perhaps its also a sin to be so pure in the royal family ☹️
